00:00Stop, stop, Serena. Listen to me. A blind date sounds like a lot of fun, but I'm going to have
00:05to pass.
00:06Yes, you did mention he has a gorgeous beach house.
00:10No, no, I am not sick. It's just that I have so much going on right now that I don't
00:15want to be distracted by a man.
00:18And, you know, deception is really almost in my grasp. So, okay, fine.
00:23Just give him my number in case he wants to sell that gorgeous beach house.
00:28Listen, I gotta go. I will talk to you later, pumpkin. Okay, okay.
00:33Well, well, well. Hello, Officer Chase. It looks like that time at the gym is well spent.
00:40Sorry, not sorry. Objectifying, perhaps.
00:43Actually, I was hoping to run into you.
00:46What?
00:47I wanted to ask you about the statement you gave the PCPD about Willow.
00:54What is it about a shower that always makes you feel better?
00:59I think the smell is making you feel worse.
01:03Well, unfortunately, my clothes still smell like the brown dog.
01:07What are you doing? Doomscrolling?
01:09Let me know if I find something good.
01:11Checking in with work.
01:13But this is strange.
01:15What is it?
01:17Chief Brennan's chart is linked to GH's, and it's saying he was just released from Turning Woods.
01:23I thought he had a stroke.
01:24He did.
01:25And he has locked-in syndrome.
01:27That's why we transferred him to Turning Woods.
01:30And they released him.
01:33It says he walked out on his own?
01:35How is that true?
01:38Mom?
01:40Mom, can I get you anything?
01:42Water?
01:43Tea?
01:44Something stronger?
01:45No.
01:47I'm fine.
01:48No, you're not.
01:49This is hard.
01:51Whatever time you need, take it.
01:54I already lost Shay once.
01:56And now I feel like I've lost him all over again.
02:00Believing that I had a living, breathing miracle.
02:05And it turns out it was just a con.
02:09It makes it worse.
02:11I can imagine.
02:13Cassius.
02:14I don't know how I feel.
02:16I mean, I had a brother that I wanted.
02:18He was here, but he wasn't.
02:21What a great performance.
02:24And whatever that was, now he's gone, so...
02:30Well, the last thing you need is to be dealing with my Drew nightmare.
02:33I'll take care of him on my own.
02:35No.
02:37You're it.
02:38You're my family, my daughter, and I love you.
02:43This is where I need to be.
02:49That's more like it.
02:51More like what?
02:53Like you're not kissing me five feet away from the cops.
02:57I know that emotions were running high, but, you know, that's a risky move, Counselor.
03:03What were you thinking?
03:06Jordan, I'm so sorry for everything you've been through.
03:09Thank you, Martin.
03:10But right now, I am more concerned about Curtis and what happened at the Metro Court.
03:14I understand.
03:16As I said, I'd be more than happy to give you my legal opinion.
03:20Is this second opinion all that's an offer?
03:23Uh, yeah.
03:25Well, before I answer that, I'd have to hear all the details about what exactly happened that night.
03:30Fair enough.
03:32But I have to tell you this up front.
03:36I won't be taking the deal.
03:39I'm going to need my day in court.
03:43Oh, great.
03:44Come over here.
03:44Take a look at Phoebe.
03:45I just put her down for her afternoon nap, and she snuggled up with that cute little bunny that you
03:51gave her.
03:51Isn't she so cute?
03:53Adorable.
03:55What?
03:56I just showed you a cute baby and a stuffed bunny.
04:00But before that, I was stuck in a conference room with Willow Kane.
04:07Okay, give it to me straight.
04:09Did you meddle again?
04:10Didn't have to.
04:11Apparently, you've done enough meddling for both of us.

04:26When I was at the PCPD, it was all I could do to keep from screaming.
04:30I was not involved in Jordan and Curtis' car accident, and it's ridiculous to think that I was.
04:35No, their actions are bordering on harassment at this point.
04:39No, we're going to take care of this, and Chase will help us.
04:43Maybe now.
04:44But when I'm arrested for what I did to Drew, Chase won't help me ever again.
04:48No, we're going to make sure that that doesn't happen.
04:51That no one, including Chase, will ever find out.
04:55I don't know, Mom.
04:56Drew tries to hide it, but I keep catching him flexing his fingers.
05:01His mobility is definitely coming back.
05:04He's building a tolerance to the paralytic.
05:06When was his last shot?
05:08I gave it to him this morning, but it'll only hold him for so long, and I don't have much
05:12left.
05:13We have to get more.
05:16I was surprised to hear that you went to the PCPD.
05:20Oh, well, I certainly don't have anything against Willow.
05:23You know, I just thought it was my civic duty to jump forward, because I realized I had information potentially
05:28relevant to the investigation.
05:30Okay, but Jordan and Curtis's accident was months ago, so why now?
05:34I hadn't realized that Willow was at the Quartermains the same night as Jordan and Curtis's accident.
05:42You know, and when I realized that, of course, connected those dots, I just went right to the police.
05:48Okay, did you speak to Willow that night?
05:50No, no, actually, I didn't.
05:52I just saw her tear down the driveway, and I figured she and Michael had had another big fight.
05:56Did Michael tell you that?
05:59No, I didn't discuss that with Michael at all.
06:03Willow says that she is being framed as the other driver who left Curtis and Jordan by the side of
06:11the road after their accident.
06:15In her mind, Michael and I have the means and the motive to make that happen.
06:22So it has to be one of us.
06:24Blaming other people for whatever is wrong is just Willow's fallback position.
06:28Yes, it is, but I know I didn't do it, and I'm pretty sure Michael didn't do it.
06:33Then who cares if Willow works herself up about nothing?
06:36Yeah, but you see, I had to wonder, was there anybody else with the means and the motive to frame
06:45Willow?
06:47And a third suspect came to mind.
06:51You.
06:52Granny, I asked you to stay out of this.
06:54As I feared.
06:59How could you be so reckless?
07:02You framed Willow for something you did.
07:07I'm sorry, Mr. Grimphus.
07:08I didn't mean to violate your sense of propriety.
07:12It's not every day that someone heroically saves my life.
07:16I guess I am lost my head for a moment.
07:19I'm not complaining about the kiss.
07:21I don't think I ever will.
07:22It's just that our situation is as it is.
07:26You're, you know, the ADA looking to keep your job.
07:29And I'm, you know what I am, right?
07:32Coffee and porter?
07:34And my business associates say they're extremely touchy.
07:39As you know, no one could ever know about us.
07:45Curtis, has it not occurred to you that somebody already does?
07:50Curtis, before I can even consider representing you, I need to do my own due diligence.
07:55So for right now, it's okay, can we just review the circumstances?
07:59I'd be happy to.
08:00Just understanding the case I'm trying to make is, it's a little difficult.
08:05You've been charged with assault.
08:07That's right.
08:10Excuse me, just a second.
08:13It's okay, just start at the beginning.
08:16All right.
08:17Well, on the night in question.
08:18I ran into Isaiah and Portia.
08:22Yes?
08:23Hello, Jordan.
08:25Do you have a minute for your old boss?
08:30So Drew hasn't made any progress in his recovery.
08:33Willow hasn't even scheduled a communication therapy for him.
08:37Meanwhile, Chief Brennan has already packed his bags and left turning woods?
08:41How does that make sense?
08:43It does seem highly unlikely that Brennan would make a full recovery that fast.
08:48Highly unlikely.
08:50Fine.
08:52Unheard of.
08:54People don't recover from a massive stroke and locked-in syndrome in months.
08:59Yeah, most don't recover at all.
09:00I mean, look at Drew.
09:02You said that Willow is still caring for him, right?
09:05Yeah, she insists on caring for him at home.
09:10Well, maybe that's the difference.
09:12It doesn't matter if I'm convicted or not.
09:14It's just being arrested will be enough for Michael to try to come after the kids again.
09:19If that's the case, we'll be ready for him.
09:21But what can we do?
09:22He'll have the upper hand.
09:24Willow, we have our own resources.
09:26If we feel like things are falling apart, we'll grab the kids and we'll run.
09:32I can make that happen.
09:33We can make it seem fun.
09:36I am not going to make my children fugitives.
09:39And even if I tried, Michael would just pick up the entire planet and shake it until he found us.
09:44Listen, Michael is not taking your kids away from you again.
09:47No, he's not.
09:48But I can't move forward while I'm on my heels with Drew and everything.
09:53I need to take control of this situation.
09:56And as much as I hate it, the best way to do that is with help from Chief Brennan.
10:04I apologize, but I need to step out for a bit.
10:07You okay?
10:08I'm fine.
10:09Just know whatever it takes to help Curtis.
10:12I'll do it.
10:12I'll keep that in mind.
10:15Uh, Jordan, listen, Lenny, take your time.
10:18Do what you need to do.
10:20Martin and I'll finish up from here.
10:22Okay.
10:28You know, I think it's great that she wants to be so supportive,
10:31but I don't know how Jordan can help if she wasn't there to witness the altercation.
10:35No, she wasn't there.
10:38She is the reason it happened.
10:40I wanted Chase to find out on his own that Willow was unworthy of his friendship.
10:45I knew that I could frame Willow for the accident once I confirmed she didn't have an alibi.
10:50All you're doing is inviting scrutiny.
10:52We don't want that accident investigated further.
10:55We want it to go away.
10:57I knew it was a risk.
10:58But when Lucy suggested it, it just seemed like too good an opportunity to pass up.
11:02So you thought you could make a bad situation better by setting it on fire?
11:06Because that's exactly what you did when you took Lucy's advice.
11:11Why were you at the Quartermain's, anyway?
11:13It wasn't in your statement.
11:14Oh, well, um, I just had a meeting about deception business.
11:18You were there to see Tracy?
11:20No, I had a meeting with Brooklyn.
11:23Brooklyn?
11:24But she, she wasn't home.
11:26She was at Charlie's for the grand reopening Gio was performing with his friend Trina.
11:32Well, we met before she left.
11:38Thank you for coming, Chief Brennan.
11:42You'll forgive me if I'm a little on edge.
11:45Last time I was here, I had a massive stroke when your mother stabbed me in a needle.
11:48Okay.
11:49Do I need to remind you that that was an accident?
11:52I was just trying to help.
11:53You know, Nina, the next time you have a sudden urge to help, don't.
11:56Chief Brennan, please tell me you've brought the proof that Drew misappropriated federal funds with you.
12:02Because we are running out of time.
12:04I'm sorry, Willow.
12:06I'm afraid I have some bad news.
12:10Do you remember when Brennan came to the hospital?
12:14I told you how strange it was that two men, two healthy men, had massive strokes, ended up with locked
12:21-in syndrome.
12:22Oh, and, and they were both in the same house.
12:25I mean, come on, what are the odds?
12:26That's very unlikely.
12:30So, are you thinking there's an environmental cause, like a, a toxin or something?
12:35I don't know.
12:36But we can't rule it out.
12:37Especially since Drew is still in that house, not making any progress, while Brennan went to a different location and
12:43had a miraculous recovery.
12:45There are several kinds of reactions that can mimic the symptoms of a stroke.
12:51And if Drew and Brennan had a reaction to some toxin or substance in the house, then Drew is still
12:58being exposed to it.
13:01Did you confess to Lucy that you were the other driver?
13:05I did not.
13:07Well, that's something.
13:08And at least it does make sense that you did not think up this harebrained scheme yourself.
13:14It was inspired by that criminal mastermind, Lucy Ko.
13:20Granny, you are overreacting.
13:21We're not framing Willow for a crime.
13:23She's just going to look bad.
13:25I don't care about Willow.
13:26Willow has committed many crimes, and she always looks bad to me.
13:31I'm worried about you.
13:33What were you thinking?
13:34I did it for my husband.
13:36I want Willow to fall off that pedestal that he has her on.
13:40There's some logic there, but why Lucy?
13:43Haven't I told you I will help you in any way I can?
13:47You definitely have.
13:49But you have also made it clear that you have no faith in my marriage.
13:54So why would you help me save it?
13:57You think that Sidwell knows about us?
14:00Is that why he had you call me from Ava's gallery?
14:04No.
14:04No, I think that happened by chance.
14:07I was there to question Ava when he came in.
14:10Sidwell had no reason to expect I'd be at her gallery.
14:13So we're good?
14:14I'm not sure.
14:16I got the feeling Sidwell was sensing something when you called me Justine on the phone.
14:20I think you're giving way too much credit.
14:23Yeah, and I think you're not giving him enough credit.
14:25Okay, let's say it occurs to him that there's something going on between us.
14:28What's he going to do?
14:28He has no proof, no credibility.
14:30The worst thing he can do is push your buttons when you prosecute.
14:37Actually, I'm not the one doing it.
14:39What are you talking about?
14:40You were, you know, chomping at the bit to go after him in court.
14:45Okay.
14:46Sidwell is going to be tried in two separate cases.
14:50One for shooting Lucas Jones and the other for holding Ava and me hostage.
14:54But since I'm now technically one of Sidwell's victims, I can't be the one to prosecute him in either case.
15:01So you have to conflict out?
15:03Yeah.
15:04So who's going to do it?
15:05I've chosen Molly Lansing Davis to take over.
15:11She's smart.
15:12She has a lawyer in her blood.
15:14She is very smart.
15:16She hasn't officially accepted the assignment, but I'm hoping she does.
15:20It'll mean canceling her leave, but these are high-profile cases.
15:24They'll be good for her career.
15:26I'm not so sure.
15:29Sidwell, you know, he has a way of getting rid of his problems.
15:33And now it looks like you made my niece one of them.
15:44Jordan, Jordan, Jordan.
15:46I am so glad you could make it.
15:51I hope I wasn't interrupting anything too important.
15:54As a matter of fact, you were.
15:55Why did you want to see me, Jens?
15:59Well, I've had some time to reflect, and I put some pieces together.
16:06Um, there was only one person who knew I owned the house that I was hiding out in, and that
16:13one person is you.
16:16You, you must have given my location to the police.
16:20Don't bother trying to deny it.
16:22Yeah, I wasn't going to.
16:24I did.
16:26I have been nothing but good to you, Jordan.
16:31How could you sell me out like that?
16:34Because I've been working undercover.
16:37The whole time.
16:40Of course I would help you.
16:43It's all I ever want to do.
16:45If I'd come to you, you would have told me that I should cut him loose.
16:49Because you're convinced that I'd be better off without him, but I know that I'm not, okay?
16:53I love him.
16:56I know you do.
16:59And maybe I rushed to judgment when I saw Willow and Chase together at the boathouse, but she has her
17:05claws in him.
17:07And I don't like the way he puts her needs ahead of his family.
17:12I know, Granny, okay?
17:13It upsets me too.
17:14But Willow is just taking advantage of Chase's good nature and his big heart.
17:19The woman is a master manipulator.
17:21That's a word for it.
17:23And you decided you needed to do something before she drove a wedge in between you and Chase.
17:29Yes.
17:30I just wanted to set up a situation where Chase could finally see Willow for who she really is.
17:35So he would stop running to save her every time she called him.
17:40Hey, there is logic to that.
17:41Listen, Granny.
17:42Hey, if you want to tell me that I made a mistake for framing Willow, then go ahead.
17:47But do not try to convince me that it is wrong to fight for my family.
17:53I am so sorry.
17:55I hope I wasn't speaking out of turn just now.
17:58No, it's not that.
17:59I just hadn't realized that you and Brooklyn saw each other that day.
18:02Well, yeah, we did.
18:04You know, given Deception's difficulties lately, we have been meeting a little more frequently.
18:11I was unaware of that.
18:13Right.
18:14Well, you know, it's just that since Maxie's collapse, well, our stock did go into free fall and we've had
18:20quite a few struggles since.
18:23Right.
18:25And then there's Jen Sidwell.
18:26You know, he's not an insignificant investor.
18:29And the fact that he was arrested, it really hasn't helped things at all.
18:33I don't know how it could.
18:35Right.
18:35Well, the good thing is, though, despite all this chaos and craziness, Brooklyn and I are on the same page
18:43about everything.
18:46Where I'm sitting, it sounds like you're conflating your own sense of personal justice with how the legal system actually
18:51works.
18:52I get it.
18:53You want him to pay for the role you think he played in that accident.
18:56But that's not what the law is set up to do.
18:58Matter of fact, there's a better than even chance that the jury never even hear about the accident.
19:02If the judge decides that line of questioning is prejudicial, which, frankly, it is.
19:08So the judge could allow it.
19:11It's a possibility.
19:14But if I was your lawyer, I wouldn't be doing my job unless I strongly urge you to reconsider that
19:20plea deal.
19:22No one can maintain cover that long.
19:25Not without a crack or two showing.
19:27Well, I didn't do anything you haven't done yourself.
19:30Get inside an organization.
19:33In your case, a community.
19:36Work your way up through a series of good deeds.
19:39Right.
19:40Gain trust.
19:41And gather information you can use.
19:44In my case, gather evidence I can use.
19:49Against you.
19:51But you must have figured that out.
19:53Why do you say that?
19:56Because you were always so careful around me.
20:00You never let me near anything that might have been illegal.
20:05I must admit, I was suspicious at first.
20:09It's in my nature.
20:10And it served me well.
20:12Until now.
20:13Because whatever reservations I may have had, gone.
20:21Yes.
20:23You won me over.
20:25You made me rely on you.
20:27I was happy to do so.
20:31And I couldn't risk losing such a credit to my organization.
20:35Such a perfect public face for my criminal enterprise.
20:41And what a beautiful face it once was.
20:46And could be again.
20:50If there is some sort of toxin in Willow and Drew's house, wouldn't anybody who's there
20:56for any period of time have some sort of reaction?
20:59Yeah, you would think so.
21:00But maybe it interacts with everyone's physiology differently.
21:04The ones get are fine.
21:05And I know Amelia and Miley are only there part-time, but as far as I know, they're okay.
21:11Well, I am not a toxicologist, and I did not specialize in immunology.
21:15But I don't think there's a direct contact or airborne substance that only affects white
21:22men over 40.
21:23I'm reaching, right?
21:25No, I'm not saying that you should let it go.
21:27It's definitely a strange coincidence.
21:29And if there's even the possibility of a toxin, we need to notify the county.
21:34And Willow needs to know that there might be something seriously wrong with her house.
21:38I went back to my office at the WSB after I was released from Turningwoods, and I confirmed
21:43that my black box is missing.
21:46Cullen mentioned it on one of his visits.
21:48I was hoping, since he had taken over the office, that he might have left it behind.
21:53But it wasn't there.
21:56So why, for some reason, didn't you think of making a copy of anything in it?
22:01Don't make copies of such things.
22:02It's too risky.
22:03Okay, so there's no black box.
22:04There's no evidence.
22:05And there's no paralytic drug.
22:07So how exactly are you helping us?
22:09Drew is going to recover and come straight for me.
22:11And if I don't have any leverage, I won't be able to stop him.
22:15He could always kill him.
22:18Sid will know that Rick and I work closely together.
22:21He could go after Molly to get to me.
22:24He destroys my brother.
22:25He gets a bonus.
22:28I didn't think of the possible repercussions from that angle.
22:32I just wanted the most qualified person to take over because this case is far from cut
22:36and dried.
22:37I just want to protect my brother, and I want to protect my niece.
22:40I do, too, but prosecuting criminals means being willing to take on a certain degree of risk.
22:46That's a part of the job, a fact that Molly knows well.
22:50There's a difference between knowing it and facing it head on.
22:55Either way, I think it should be up to Molly to decide if she's ready for it.
23:00Can you just reconsider?
23:02No, no.
23:03I cannot reconsider.
23:04Because public perception plays into this, Sonny.
23:07How's that?
23:09When Sidwall held me hostage, you showed up and saved me.
23:13The whole world knows I owe you a debt.
23:16So, our public dealings are subject to extra scrutiny.
23:20I can't appear to be giving you or your family any special treatment,
23:25and taking your niece off a dangerous case certainly qualifies as special treatment.
23:30Maybe.
23:30Definitely.
23:31Sonny.
23:32Sonny, I can't even be seen talking to you anymore.
23:37Justine, are you saying you want this to be the last time we see each other?
23:45Just think, Jules.
23:48You could have your once beautiful face back.
23:51Like that.
23:53I was going to pull some strings, send you to Barden-Barden,
23:57to the same clinic that brought Michael Corinthos back from the brink.
24:00You know, their waiting list is so long, it's beyond consideration.
24:07And the fees they charge.
24:09Oh!
24:11I was willing to get you to the front of the line and pay for your surgery.
24:16What would have been in it for you?
24:18I needed someone to go to Zurich, empty a few accounts, bring the money back to Paul Charles.
24:25I still need that someone.
24:29And you'd still trust me to do that?
24:32Even after I turned you in?
24:35Today is your lucky traitor day.
24:40I still really need the cash.
24:43And you could totally use that surgery.
24:51So, what do you say, Jules?
24:53Do we have a deal?
24:57Absolutely not.
24:59We are not murderers.
25:01Says the woman who put two in her husband's back.
25:04Hey.
25:05Whoever did that must have been driven to it.
25:08That person could not have been thinking rationally.
25:10Exactly.
25:11You were talking about murdering a man in cold blood.
25:15I was just offering it as an option.
25:19The WSB and I would hate to see a good friend like Willow expelled from Congress.
25:23We all would.
25:25So it's unanimous.
25:26Everyone, including my superiors, would like Willow to stay in place.
25:30In light of that, there is one possibility.
25:37Even if the judge allows me to make your argument, and somehow I can make Isaiah look like he provoked
25:44you, that's no guarantee you're going to get the result you want.
25:47And my friend, if you're convicted, you're looking at ten years.
25:50Parole maybe in two.
25:52I understand.
25:53But the plea deal they offered me came with jail time.
25:57I'd have to serve eight months before even the possibility of parole, Martin.
26:02I have a child on the way, man.
26:04I don't want to spend the first eight months of their life behind bars.
26:07Curtis.
26:09I'm telling you, it is an awfully big risk.
26:12I know.
26:14But I discussed it with Jordan.
26:16She understands exactly where I'm coming from.
26:19We need to go into that courtroom and get a not guilty verdict.
26:24And my question for you is, are you the lawyer who can make that happen?
26:31I'm sorry.
26:34I didn't want to make this harder for you.
26:38Thanks, Granny.
26:38I know you didn't.
26:40But I'm sorrier that you put the fate of your marriage in the hands of Lucy Coe.
26:49You have to admit she's sort of the expert here.
26:52Lucy Coe, at best, is a bird brain with a room temperature IQ.
26:58And at worst, she's larcenist, she's calculating, and she's a parasite.
27:05She was just trying to help me.
27:07Wow.
27:10You know my brother Alan.
27:12He was a fool, but he was not a dummy.
27:15And somehow, Lucy managed to convince him to marry her.
27:20So I learned, underestimating her is at one's own peril.
27:28So you might as well tell me what was in it for Lucy.
27:34What do you mean?
27:40How much did it cost you?
27:42It could have been worse.
27:44Oh, I'll be the judge of that.
27:47Lucy wanted my deception shares.
27:48The ones I gave you?
27:56Tell me you said no.
28:00I said half.
28:03I am sorry.
28:05You know, I didn't think that Brooklyn's transferring the stocks would surprise you.
28:09I really thought she would have told you.
28:12I'm guessing she didn't tell Tracy either.
28:14Because if she had told Tracy that she transferred half her deception shares to you,
28:19the whole house would have heard the screams.
28:22Why did my wife give you her shares?
28:24Oh, well, it really just made very good business sense.
28:28I mean, with all the instability and the difficulties with deception
28:32and so much friction between me and Tracy,
28:36Brooklyn and I just decided that it was best to consolidate control of the company.
28:41And for the good of the company, the power needed to be in my sturdy and capable hands.
28:48How could you?
28:49The whole point of giving you those shares was so we could run deception together.
28:52I know it was.
28:54I would never want to hurt you.
28:56That's why I put off telling you about this.
28:58Oh, because procrastination always helps everything.
29:03I am sorry that I hurt you.
29:05But I am not sorry for giving Lucy those shares.
29:09And you're okay admitting to that?
29:11Granny, I love my family, including you, more than I love any company.
29:19Well, I just hope
29:22that this house of cards you've built does not come crashing down on top of you.
29:33So now you're the majority shareholder.
29:35You must be thrilled because deception was originally your idea.
29:39Yeah, I am.
29:40But I'm thrilled and grateful to your wife for putting faith in me to lead the company
29:44through these very turbulent times.
29:46And I do not take that responsibility lightly.
29:50I'm sure you don't.
29:53Now it kind of sounds like that you're in debt to Brooklyn.
29:58No, not at all.
30:00You know, as I mentioned, Brooklyn and I don't speak all the time, but we speak very frequently.
30:05And we both agree with the long-term value of this mutually satisfactory business arrangement.
30:13Your actions were inappropriate, but your story is compelling.
30:18It may certainly be easy for a jury to put themselves in your shoes.
30:21As responsible adults, we're all supposed to do the right thing, look after one another.
30:25I don't think anybody in the docs can be rooting for somebody like Isaiah chooses to drive away
30:30when someone else is in trouble.
30:31That's what I've been saying.
30:32And if we can put Jordan on the stand so the jury can see her injuries, injuries exacerbated
30:39when a medical doctor, a surgeon refused to stop and offer assistance, I think I could
30:44prove that you were provoked past a reasonable standard of behavior, which would give the
30:50jury room for acquittal.
30:52But that's a whole lot of if.
30:56You have to decide if it's a risk you want to take.
30:59I already have.
31:01I cannot spend the first eight months of my child's life in prison.
31:06I've got to defend my name.
31:09For my sake.
31:11And for my child's.
31:13As tempting as your offer is, Jens.
31:16I'll pass.
31:17As time goes on, you'll come to regret that decision.
31:21I only have one regret.
31:23That Sonny took you down before I had the chance to do it myself.
31:26But you are the one that gained my trust by pretending to be someone other than yourself.
31:32And then you betrayed me.
31:34And that, that is personal.
31:36It's almost...
31:41Intimate.
31:44And I will find a way to pay you back in kind.
31:48To make you suffer as deeply as I do.
31:55But you can console yourself and say, I still have my principles.
32:00But every time you look in the mirror at your damaged, ravaged face.
32:09You'll say, oh, I could have been beautiful again.
32:18I'll heal on my own.
32:21But I wouldn't have been able to live with myself if I did one more thing to help you.
32:41I don't want to stop seeing you, Sonny.
32:45But something has changed for me.
32:50At first, our relationship was something of a dare.
32:56I couldn't get you out of my head, but I also couldn't trust you, which is why I kept my
33:03guard up.
33:04I was just waiting for the day when one of us would betray the other.
33:13But that's not how I feel anymore.
33:18What changed?
33:21You risked your life for me.
33:24You didn't have to offer to be a hostage in my place or rush Sidwell while he held a gun
33:31to save me, but you did.
33:35I do it again.
33:36I'm not going to let anybody hurt me, Justine.
33:40I know that now.
33:44What happened at the gallery showed me that what we have is...
33:54I think it took us both by surprise.
33:56I think when we first started seeing each other, it was...
33:59We knew that it wasn't going to last forever.
34:03And then when I walked into that gallery and I saw he was holding you hostage...
34:14I knew I couldn't lose you.
34:23I can't lose you.
34:31Cullum may have had time to ship the black box out of Port Charles, but he would have wanted it
34:36close.
34:36So in all likelihood, it's still on Spoon Island.
34:40So, if you two aren't willing to go the whole nine yards to solve your Drew problem...
34:46We're not.
34:48Then we have two options.
34:50You can either convince Drew not to turn you both in, or we find the black box.
34:57And I think we all know which is the only real option there.
35:08Hey!
35:08Hi!
35:09Is this a bad time?
35:10Not at all.
35:11Come on in.
35:11Thanks.
35:15Oh!
35:15Chief Brennan!
35:17Miss Baldwin.
35:18You seem surprised to see me.
35:21I am.
35:22A little.
35:23I treated you at huge after your stroke, and I'm just...
35:27shocked to see you standing.
35:29Especially here.
