00:00Hey, Mel, are you okay?
00:21A little shaky, maybe.
00:22Yeah, it's been a hell of a day.
00:24Can I get you anything?
00:25A cup of tea?
00:26Nightcap?
00:27Ice cream sundae?
00:28You name it, I'm at your service.
00:29Alright, I just need some sleep.
00:30I appreciate you always looking out for me.
00:31Well, I'm your husband.
00:32Kind of comes with the territory.
00:34I'm hungry.
00:35That's a, you may ask for-
00:36Ulrich.
00:37I'm not hungry.
00:38I'm not eating.
00:39What are you-
00:40I don't know where I'm staying.
00:41I'm going to the hotel.
00:42Wait, I was just saying.
00:43There's a hotel down the high street.
00:44You're not eating?
00:45No, I'm not.
00:46I'm going to stay at home.
00:47I'm going to a hospital.
00:48I'm going to a hospital.
00:49I can't.
00:50I have to go to Italy.
00:51It's a long one.
00:52Yeah, it's a long trip.
00:53Yeah, it's a long trip.
00:54It's a long trip.
00:55Even more than that.
00:56I don't know.
00:57I can't take it anymore.
00:58I'm going to die.
00:59I've seen Ashford.
01:01Rick.
01:03Thank you for coming.
01:05I knew you'd call, eventually.
01:07Oh, really?
01:09You're just that irresistible?
01:11Your words, not mine.
01:13Well, I have been wanting
01:15to call, and I
01:17definitely owe you a date.
01:19This isn't it?
01:21This is me
01:23asking for a favor.
01:30Oh.
01:32I thought you turned in
01:34for the night.
01:36I have a touch of insomnia.
01:38Put him there.
01:40Take the cuffs off, please.
01:45So,
01:47by the way you play cards,
01:49I take it you're a gambling man.
01:51I am.
01:53Bronson's family.
01:55Perfect.
01:59Deal.
02:03Merry Christmas.
02:05It's September.
02:07I'm early.
02:09There was a murder at the Quartermain Mansion.
02:13And, um,
02:15the perp is in here.
02:17There's plenty of suspects.
02:19How many?
02:21Half of Port Charles.
02:23But there's one that's at the head of the pack.
02:29Good evening, Commissioner.
02:31Oh, hi. Diane.
02:33I take it my client's inside?
02:35Daming clients?
02:45Commissioner, may I have a word
02:47alone with my client
02:49and his plus one?
02:51By all means.
02:55Ms. Jerome,
02:57I take it your own counsel
02:59is coming to your rescue tonight?
03:01Diane, I'm gonna
03:03need you to help us both
03:05tonight.
03:11Make yourself at home.
03:13Okay.
03:15I'm gonna be clear.
03:17I'm not staying, Sonny.
03:21Okay, look.
03:23Cops are gonna
03:25be here in the morning.
03:27We're gonna have to get our story straight.
03:29I know where I
03:31was when John Cates was murdered.
03:33Where were you?
03:53You should agree on stakes.
03:55How about this?
03:57I win, I go free.
03:59How about
04:01if you win,
04:03you stay alive.
04:05If you lose, you die.
04:07Since I was gonna kill you anyway.
04:09Well,
04:11shall we?
04:13I'm gonna kill you.
04:15I'm gonna kill you.
04:17I'm gonna kill you.
04:19I'm gonna kill you.
04:21Shall we?
04:25Who's this?
04:27I'm hoping you can help me
04:29find him. He's a John Doe.
04:31Victim of a hit and run
04:33earlier this evening.
04:35He's in General Hospital,
04:37unconscious, no ID,
04:39and the police are running his
04:41fingerprints, but nothing so far.
04:43So you think I can make an ID
04:45when the police can?
04:47Well, I'm sure of it.
04:49In two photos, there's not a lot to go on, Jordan.
04:51I know that
04:53I'm asking
04:55a lot of work from you, and you are
04:57a busy man. That is not it.
04:59That's not it at all.
05:01The guy just got admitted to the hospital tonight.
05:03It's entirely possible
05:05that by the time I track down
05:07his identity, he'll wake up and tell you himself.
05:09That's why I would
05:11appreciate it if you could get a start on the search.
05:13In case he doesn't.
05:16Alright.
05:18Anything for you.
05:22But there's
05:24a price.
05:26All that matters is
05:28Jagger's dead, can't come after
05:30Christina or anybody
05:32I care about again.
05:34And while
05:36someone was
05:38killing Agent Cates,
05:40you were supposedly with me.
05:42I appreciate you backing me with
05:44the cops.
05:46I don't appreciate that you
05:48implied to the cops, to the quarter
05:50mains, and the whole world, that you
05:52and I were having some tryst upstairs
05:54in the bedroom, Sonny. I'm sorry.
05:56You know what?
05:58We're divorced.
06:00Separated.
06:02And now you've dragged me into the middle of a murder,
06:04and I want to know why. Because after
06:06all this time, everything we've been through,
06:08I still trust
06:10you with my life.
06:12I am
06:14unable to reach my lawyer.
06:16Scott has been incommunicado
06:18for some time now, and frankly,
06:20I'm worried.
06:22For him or for you?
06:24Maybe a little both.
06:26I was hoping we could clear this up
06:28without involving lawyers at all.
06:30But your client here,
06:32he wouldn't say a word until you arrived.
06:34That's why he is my
06:36favorite client. Just curious though,
06:38why did you think you didn't need
06:40an attorney at a police station?
06:42Because we didn't do anything wrong.
06:44I mean, this Boyle
06:46woman was going to kill me.
06:48And fortunately, Jason was there to stop her.
06:50Yes. Well, as compelling
06:52as all that sounds,
06:54I'm on Mr. Morgan's retainer.
06:56So I will be defending him.
06:58You are
07:00on your own. Okay, Diane, I would really
07:02appreciate it if you could help me with you.
07:04Why should I
07:06do that, Jason? Even for you?
07:08Because we can prove that everything
07:10we're saying is true.
07:14Jagged Kites is dead.
07:16Sonny
07:18is the number one suspect.
07:20Robin's going to take this on.
07:22She should hear it
07:24from one of us. I'll call her.
07:26You sure?
07:28It's my job.
07:30I'll be the bad cop on this one.
07:32So for once, does that make
07:34me the good cop?
07:36It makes you the father.
07:40It's Jagger.
07:42Well,
07:44John.
07:46He basically lost his way.
07:48Well, that's a nice way of putting it.
07:50I mean, it's one thing to go after Sonny,
07:52but basically he was
07:54torturing Christina,
07:56Sonny's daughter, and there was nothing we could do about it.
07:58Plenty of motive for Sonny.
08:00Plenty of opportunity.
08:06Mom?
08:10Mom?
08:12Are you here?
08:30Michael, there's something
08:32I want to tell you.
08:36Okay.
08:38When Drew
08:40first got the news
08:42about Congressman McConkie,
08:44he was
08:46very upset,
08:48and it dredged up a lot of
08:50feelings about
08:54Drew was
08:56so upset, and I
08:58wanted to
09:00comfort him, and that's
09:02when
09:04I lost it.
09:08It's Christina again.
09:10Oh, that was her before?
09:12You should answer it.
09:14Hey,
09:16Chrissy, everything okay?
09:18No, Michael, I need you to come here, please.
09:20I can't right now.
09:22It's bad, Michael. Please just come here.
09:24How bad? I'm missing a gun.
09:28If you trust me so much,
09:30Sonny, then why did you blindside me?
09:32Why did you mess up your shirt
09:34and the bed in Tracy's room
09:36and let everyone believe we had sex?
09:42Because that would account for your whereabouts
09:44when Gates was murdered in a way
09:46that everyone would believe.
09:48Carly, if I say you're right,
09:50that's admitting that I did it.
09:52So?
09:54We're not married anymore. We don't have
09:56spousal privilege.
09:58I can't tell you any details
10:00unless, you know, I mean,
10:02you're willing
10:04to marry me again.
10:06So, uh,
10:08what is this about a gun?
10:10I had the gun.
10:12I had it, and now it's gone.
10:14Okay, whose gun is this, and what were you doing with it?
10:16This is bad, Michael. This is really bad.
10:18I had the gun in my bag, and I found my bag,
10:20but the gun is gone.
10:22Is it possible your mom might have moved the bag, and she
10:24found the gun? I don't know. I hope so.
10:30Pick up.
10:32Pick up.
10:34Damn it, where are you?
10:36Diane, you gotta
10:38call me back.
10:40I have a client who
10:42may or may not have
10:44violated bail, and you
10:46gotta call me back. You got five minutes. Five minutes.
10:48And if you don't, I'm gonna have to make this
10:50decision by myself.
10:52Diane, please call me back. Please.
10:56Agent Gates insisted
10:58that I amend my statement
11:00and state that Christina
11:02Corinthos Davis tried to kill me.
11:06While I was there, you appeared to be speaking
11:08of your own free will.
11:10Well, I wasn't.
11:12I was being coerced.
11:14Gates wanted
11:16leverage against Sonny, and if he had to
11:18sacrifice me to achieve that,
11:20so be it.
11:22And then what happened? Gates knew that
11:24I had reservations.
11:26He was afraid that I would recant.
11:28So he put me
11:30in a hotel room with Agent
11:32Boyle, made me believe that
11:34I was in protective custody.
11:36But when she stepped out of the room, I found a wad
11:38of cash in her bag and
11:40knew pretty quickly she was not an agent
11:42at all. And why do you think
11:44Gates was trying to mislead you on
11:46Boyle's identity?
11:48Well, once he got what he wanted
11:50from me, I was a liability, right?
11:52So Boyle put me in her car.
11:54She was headed out to
11:56the Pine Barrens.
11:58At one point, I fought her
12:00for the wheel. We swerved.
12:02She hit someone
12:04with her car, and she
12:06didn't stop.
12:08We reached the Pine Barrens, and I think
12:10Jason can take it from there.
12:12Yeah, I called 9-1-1
12:14for the guy they hit. I went
12:16to the Pine Barrens. I found them
12:18not far from Boyle's car.
12:20We were able to disarm Boyle,
12:22and then I called the cops.
12:24That's it?
12:26That's all you've got to say?
12:28That's all there is to say.
12:34So when I got the news about
12:36my conky, uh...
12:40It really shook me up, and it's just
12:42seems so silly coming out of my mouth right now.
12:44Well...
12:46Say it out loud anyway.
12:48Well, I just started thinking about
12:50my father.
12:52How I never knew my father, Alan.
12:54How I never really had a father. I never had
12:56a father figure whatsoever, and I just
12:58kind of got all these motions came up, and then...
13:02Willow was there
13:04when I found out, and
13:06she...
13:08was there for me.
13:10Now when you say Willow
13:12was there for you...
13:14Willow and I kissed.
13:20...
13:22...
13:24...
13:26...
13:28...
13:30...
13:32...
13:34...
13:36...
13:38...
13:40I'm gonna be really clear.
13:42I'm not marrying you again.
13:44Well, I guess that's settled.
13:46It's not settled, Sonny, because
13:48we still have to deal with the federal murder
13:50investigation.
13:52Well, at least the FBI will be
13:54coming after me, and
13:56not using my daughter.
13:58I'm gonna be in the crosshairs.
14:00No one else.
14:02No one else, except for your alibi.
14:04And that's me. I'm sorry about that.
14:06But...
14:08You gotta admit,
14:10us working together tonight,
14:12it just seemed like...
14:14old times.
14:16...
14:18...

14:24...
14:26...

22:46adults in your life one of the two great loves of your life
22:52there's a pretty colorful past yourself agent Cates is dead he was shot at the
23:02boathouse at the quarter main estate well good riddance but he was gonna have
23:08that woman kill me speaking of that woman I had my team check in to agent
23:13Boyle not a real name she's not affiliated with the FBI or any law
23:18enforcement she has quite a jacket past which brings me to the good news which
23:24is that we were able to corroborate everything you said and both you mr.
23:30Roman mr. Morgan you're free to go well thank you Diana thank you Diana
23:38Jason thank you so much for everything
23:47Jason a word
23:53no it's fine I was afraid you'd say that
24:08part of you
24:13for you called the police made more sense than the alternative
24:21it's good to know while you're here what can you tell me about the murder of
24:28special agent Cates
24:32you knew Cates was dead all along so I bring Diane back in not necessary I
24:39don't know anything about what happened to Cates well what we both do know is
24:45that Cates went bad you know there's nothing worse than an officer of the law
24:51using the power of his badge to settle personal scores it's not good a lot of
24:58people in this town wanted him dead you and Sonny at the top of that list I
25:05couldn't have done it
25:09establish that beyond a shadow of a doubt as a suspect you're in the clear
25:16Sonny is not we're gonna grill us about this alibi at some point we gotta get
25:23this one-night stand story down pat so what happened how'd you seduce me this
25:31time well I think what we have to do is like we say we were in the mansion there
25:38was no one there we saw each other and then things started to heat up you know
25:48please what I that's a terrible story I mean totally unbelievable what do you
25:54want rose petals and soft music it's an alibi you think you can do better be my
26:00guess okay
26:03well we saw each other here in the morning when I dropped the girls off and
26:08it felt better being around each other than it had in a long time and then we
26:15ran into each other at the quarter mains incorporating timeline I like
26:20that yeah and and you didn't want to overstay your welcome given your history
26:24with the quarter main so I walked you outside and we were talking and we got
26:30caught in the rain and then I brought you upstairs to dry off and we kissed
26:36and it was sweet and nostalgic and we made love something like that yeah
26:46gotta admit I like your version better everyone makes mistakes you and Willow
26:54are only human yeah I just feel like I'm taking unfair advantage of her gratitude
27:00what do you mean you saved her life you put your own life in danger to bring her
27:05donor back to her she didn't just randomly put you on a pedestal my man
27:10you legitimately earned it I do have to admit I mean I like the way it makes me
27:17feel you know being someone someone's hero it's cringeworthy when you say it
27:23out loud but the truth is that I admire her I admire her as much as she admires
27:29me okay well at least you both have gotten that admiration out of your
27:38system which means true you can put a stop to this before it goes way too far
27:49before today I might have agreed with you but why not now
27:54the kiss
27:58I mean it wasn't just two people getting caught up in a moment
28:04their feelings there there are there are real feelings there
28:10and I can't deny them anymore what would Alexis be doing out here alone at night
28:17getting rid of a gun I don't know I know Alexis and I think I do
28:23probably has something to do with one of her daughters I'm just hoping it's not
28:26mine okay but we don't know what she was
28:30doing even so we clearly saw something that we
28:35shouldn't have probably what do you suggest we do about it
28:43I didn't do it Michael I swear okay I wanted to kill agent Kate's but I didn't
28:51I went to my daughter's grave instead she night I believe you okay you're sure
28:57he's dead yes the police in the corner came out
28:59we have already taken his body way
29:03that's over
29:06God
29:10I've always worked the security hey thank you for filling me in
29:17all right Jordan military first then a three-letter agency but after that I
29:24became disillusioned by let's just say too much power in the wrong hands is a
29:30very dangerous thing so I decided to freelance choose whom I would work with
29:36what methods I would want to employ if I don't like somebody or the situation I
29:43can always walk away so you break laws left and right but you have a code
29:48that's half right I have a code also I have a lot of work to do I'm gonna ID
29:55your guy so regretfully
30:00well I will have to make it up to you what a real date that's what you want
30:10is that what you want
30:14yes I really do
30:30you know if you're cheating I can't see it and I can always see it well I do I
30:48have a little more to lose than you do any chance we can change the stakes play
30:55for my freedom stay stay the same we play until I win and you die no if I
31:04knew that was a situation I never would have agreed to play well then you'd
31:08already be dead and I'd be wandering the compound awake and bored this is much
31:15more fun is it you know I sooner or later I'm gonna lose that's just basic
31:23God's well then you'd better find a way to beat those walls
31:36but willow willow may have feelings for you but true feelings aren't actions
31:43feelings are not a betrayal and feelings don't make you a bad person I sure don't
31:51feel like a good person I didn't just mess up I messed up willow like she's in
31:57pain because of me I'm sure she'll forgive you maybe she shouldn't I mean
32:04the worst part is is she won't forgive herself well maybe you should forgive
32:11yourselves both of you and then you can forgive each other but either way
32:17beating yourselves up it's only gonna make things worse Drew forget it ever
32:26happened let it go one thing I can't make sure of
32:33acting on my feelings for Willow that that can't happen again that won't
32:42happen ever
33:12you
33:42are we thinking of you babe just sitting here I hope you're staying out of trouble
33:57call me Robert we need to talk about special agent Kate's I take it you've
34:09he's been abusing my daughter Christina he's prosecuting her he's using her as
34:15a weapon in his obsession to take Sonny down well agent Kate's isn't gonna be
34:20your problem anymore he was shot dead tonight what did you do when you found
34:27Keith I called chase I knew he was up at the house and while I waited for the
34:33police to arrive Willow and Drew showed up they were on their way to the gate
34:36house I must have been really freaked out maybe not for true but Willow Willow
34:41was upset I mean she was shaking so I waited for the police to show up they
34:46they went to the main house and Kate's was dead when you found it yes but you
34:53didn't see who shot him no do you think it was dad no no look agent Kate's yet
35:04you had a lot of enemies Christine I mean it could have been anyone if Sonny
35:12didn't do this he better have a very good alibi what about you you don't seem
35:20to be too broken up what I am is thankful that you survived John Kate's
35:28once upon a time he was a good man he's a good friend to Robin I don't know what
35:38happened to him whatever was worth saving and John was gone a long time ago
35:45nevertheless Jason he was an FBI agent so when we find his killer they will go
35:55to prison for the rest of their life you got everything straight yes yes
36:01everything is straight but I do need to get home well maybe you should stay
36:05because it makes the alibi stronger I hate that that makes sense to me okay
36:14fine fine I will stay I'm gonna stay in the guest room

37:28I am gonna pursue every avenue of this investigation that I can think of
37:32Jason's misadventure is the Davis family good fortune it's your idea of a joke
37:36I'm not gonna take this any further than I absolutely have to one down one to go
