00:00we need to talk oh can we do it on the way out it was just not absolutely not
00:07is your staff still here no it's just us what's going on I need you to do
00:13something I sound serious I hate asking but
00:18circumstances demand it and I don't know what else to do even though it requires
00:23betraying someone's privilege who's Sonny's
00:29maybe as soon as they could was flown on Holly Sutton is looking for you what
00:34for I don't know but I thought you'd want to know all right I'll look into it
00:37there's something else have you had any strangers hanging out around your
00:42building lately someone sitting in a parked car waiting outside watching no
00:48my people would notice what because I had dinner with Jack Brennan tonight and
00:54someone was watching you coming to see me this late
00:59that'd be good on the contrary I think I just may have the key to your salvation
01:04does he look familiar none of the slightest who is he that is
01:11Jack Brennan he's the new WSB station chief in Port Charles and so how does
01:16this concern me well my research indicates that Jack here is a real
01:20player got a different girl in every town you know what I mean which creates
01:25very interesting context for this picture now why would a known playboy
01:36like mr. Brennan be hosting a late-night dinner in his hotel suite for Carly
01:42Spencer the same Carly Spencer claims to be reunited with Sonny Corinthos
01:48shameful I have information about the night John Cates was killed
01:55shut the door does anyone know you're here no do you want to call someone a
02:04lawyer perhaps I know I'm good I advise you to think very carefully here
02:11why do I feel like you're trying to get me not to talk oh no on the contrary I
02:16am very interested to hear whatever it is that you have to say good but I I do
02:23want you to understand the potential ramifications of coming forward with
02:27information so late in this process not just for your mother but for you also
02:36hey just checking on you it's all Sam leave with Rocco I thought it might be a
02:44good time oh yeah yeah he was pretty beat are you

03:31that mother was gonna make it if you're listening I could show you some
03:39guidance and I'm I'm pretty desperate right now so I'll take whatever you got

04:10oh thank God thank God I'm so grateful I'm so grateful now you'll be able to
04:21help your sister
04:40you
04:48Rocco when I told him that lucky couldn't be a donor for his mom he just
04:53he took that news really hard yes I did lucky I just wanted to feel better you
04:59know so I promised him that we would find another donor I understand why you
05:05say that thanks but that's a long shot right long
05:09shot doesn't mean impossible no but she can't get a donor from the National
05:15Registry okay all her blood relatives pretty much have been tested they're not
05:19a match that leaves what a stranger so we gotta try and convince a stranger
05:26who doesn't know her to give a part of their liver to sit to someone who was in
05:31a coma and may never wake up oh I'm so glad you're back I missed you
05:36I missed you so much just you too mom I heard about what happened in Somalia oh
05:43my gosh oh look at your face it's fine really does it hurt
05:49no you should see the other guy oh my gosh your hair it's so long I was
05:58actually thinking of cutting it no don't do that it reminds me of your
06:05father I like it yeah it's uh it's strange I know he's gone but I was
06:17halfway across the world and then I kept expecting him to suddenly walk around
06:22the corner you know yeah I know I still have moments like that
06:28come sit with me honey I'm so sorry that I wasn't here to leave lead the
06:37welcome wagon you know I was my fault I mean you would have been with Lulu if I
06:43hadn't gotten myself into so much trouble good trouble knowing you but it
06:48doesn't matter now anyway you're here and you're safe and you're healthy have
06:55you seen Aiden at all yeah oh good yeah he's uh he's quite a kid yeah thanks
07:04after his father I hope not too much why would you say that you two have so many
07:10wonderful qualities in common thanks but anything good in Aiden is to Elizabeth's
07:16credit she she just did an amazing job raising him she was the one who told me
07:23that you were in here by the way I hope I hope your reunion with her was okay
07:30she didn't mention anything no did something happen
07:38I'm sorry mama I don't know how to tell you this just say it lucky
07:46um Elizabeth I said that I can't be Lulu's donor what why the initial the
08:02first round of tests they all checked out I mean I am a viable donor but then
08:10why can't you do it I don't understand when they tested to see if my liver
08:15wasn't good enough shape for the transplant it's not and I'm so sorry
08:20mom you know I would do anything to save Lulu
08:30I can't help
08:33I appreciate your concern but I know exactly what will come from this
08:37conversation I've thought about it a lot okay let's get to it then so where
08:47were you the night that John case was murdered I was at my mother's house yes
08:54but not all night right no I went to visit my daughter's grave but that's not
09:02the only place I went no according to detective chase you first said that you
09:10drove that night or it was a rideshare then or possibly Sam's car you seem to
09:21have trouble remembering well I remember clearly now I drove in Sam's car no
09:29yours then no my car was at my place whose car did you try because we know
09:39Alexis had hers it was caught on camera entering the
09:43quarter main estate but that's not true my mother did not take her car and drive
09:52to the quarter means did you
09:57stop talking Christina we're leaving now
10:05I am committing a multitude of ethical violations just by talking to you any
10:10one of which could get me this far but it's either that or lose my humanity and
10:15contrary to popular opinion I'm not willing to do that okay Alexis will
10:21probably be convicted for the murder of John case if I don't do something trial
10:26dates been set much sooner than any of us expected but you you can put an end
10:31to this travesty what do you want me to do I want you to convince my client to
10:37confess to a murder that you and I both know committed I know I know it's a bad
10:42idea it's all I just don't see any other way to help Alexis Diane she's my she's
10:50my best friend okay Jason I cannot let her go down for a
10:55murder that I know she did not commit so you've got to convince Sonny to do
11:01the right thing you don't you don't need me to do that you're the only one he's
11:06gonna listen Sonny's already decided to turn himself in
11:10oh okay okay all right is he at the PCPD because I gotta get down there and
11:20he's with Carly filling filling her in right now I'm not sure that makes sense
11:26because his confession has big implications for Carly yes it does
11:32Diane that's why you need to stop him
11:37what do you think this private investigators got on at the very least
11:43she knows I was with Jack in his hotel room you can explain that away you're
11:48the owner of the hotel you were checking on a guest us having dinner
11:52alone together in his hotel room may raise some eyebrows Sonny well that
11:56depends on who sick this PI on you and why why would anybody want to be telling
12:03you anyway um I don't know maybe the false alibi I'm giving you for Kate's
12:07murder I bet you it's Martin Gray it has to be Martin Gray he wants to prove
12:19that Alexis is innocent by proving that you're guilty smart play Alexis trials
12:26coming up and fast and Christina is not doing well she's unraveling and I'm
12:33afraid she's gonna do something to get the feds attention this whole thing is
12:41getting out of control so what now only one thing to do like I
12:47told you I'm gonna confess to killing Jagger Kate's
12:52but I'm your alibi that means I'm gonna go down right along with you
12:59how did you get the photo from the PI I hired to tail Carly what else did the PI
13:06find but nothing yet miss Brennan is no fool I actually think he he may have
13:14made by investigator you're kidding a seasoned WSB agent figured out that a
13:20small-time PI was surveilling him shocking Alexis it doesn't matter does
13:25matter Carly knows that we're on to her and she's not gonna get caught again
13:29this isn't nearly enough what are you doing excuse me we are in the middle of
13:36an interview no interviews over no it's not I need to tell you we both know you
13:41don't talk to the police without a lawyer present and so does Commissioner
13:44Devane let's go now
13:55Oh
14:04Sonny turning himself in can't be the only way to save Alexis the only other
14:09option I can see is to allow Alexis to go to trial and that's not gonna happen
14:13didn't we need to figure out how to stall give gray more time to build
14:17stronger case or for Sam to find the gun that Alexis got rid of FBI is not going
14:21to agree to a continuance and that gun is long gone otherwise Sam would have
14:26found it by now this can't be holligan's for Sonny this is not what I want for
14:33Sonny either I love him too you know I haven't worked for the man for all these
14:41years taking his phone calls at all hours of the night put myself through
14:45the aggravation that being his lawyer has brought to me just because the man
14:51pays me so well underneath that gruff exterior we both know there beats a
14:57heart of gold should have come to this I made a deal with Kate I find out who was
15:03behind Pikeman and he leaves Carly alone yeah it's like to you in order to use
15:09you to get closer to Sonny to bring Sonny down I created this situation the
15:13minute I agreed to Kate's demands what could you have done different my job
15:19should have killed Kate's when I had the chance I will not let Alexis go down for
15:25something that I did and I would do the same for you
15:28Carly you can't fix this you can't fix this the US Attorney is not going to
15:33draw a distinction between us Sonny they're gonna say that I was covering
15:38for you that I was in on it from the start I'll say that you weren't they're
15:42gonna charge me as an accessory Sonny no matter what you say well I'm sorry if I
15:47if I had known this was gonna go the way it goes I wouldn't ask you to get
15:51involved but you got to see it a different way
16:00okay yeah you have to come forward yeah yeah otherwise Alexis is gonna be found
16:08guilty I know and I know you would never let the mother of your child go to
16:13prison especially for something you did no I can't and Christine is not gonna
16:19let it happen either if Alexis goes to trial Christine is gonna start talking
16:24and she's liable to get all of us convicted of something I can't promise
16:30there's not gonna be consequences for you but I can tell you one thing you
16:35were not you were not going to prison you don't know that okay look I just
16:41gotta I got I gotta get things under control I got it I got a plane on
16:46standby for you all you got to do is go get Donna and leave the country there
16:53are places with no extradition treaty you cannot be touched do you hear
16:59yourself that means you would never see Donna again do you get that she's better
17:04off without a father then lose both her parents I'm not going to do that I can't
17:14do that why can't you be her donor they found an anomaly in my liver from
17:23parasite I picked up at some point it's it's not dangerous for me but it could
17:29kill Lulu are you sure you're okay you're not keeping something I promise
17:36you okay I'm I'm good I'm I'm healthy I'm just not I'm good enough to save
17:44literally it's okay look no that's the thing mom it's not okay the whole reason
17:54that I came back here was to help Lulu you know I thought finally maybe I could
18:00make up for not being able to save her when she was a baby do you know how
18:04infuriating it is I've already failed her once and now I'm failing her again
18:10no that's not true you're not at all you know
18:16you can give her your love and your strength and you can use that incredibly
18:22strong will of yours to talk to her and convince her to pull herself through
18:27this thing and that will be enough if it isn't whatever happens to her is on me
18:34no it's not you didn't create her illness you're not responsible for her
18:38recovery you don't understand the reason I can't donate my liver is because I've
18:45spent the last 13 years in combat zones and and everything I was exposed to
18:51during that time it's affected my body it's not some freak accident it's
18:56because of the reckless life that I've chosen the life I chose to lead
19:03I just I was convinced I was convinced that lucky was gonna be the miracle we
19:09needed for her well we were going to use every available resource to get her a
19:14donor thank you and if you need anything you'll let me know yeah I'm
19:29glad you're here your boy needs you
19:33Hey what now? Lucky can't be Lulu's donor. Oh I'm so sorry. I just feel like he was the last shot we had you know and now what are we gonna do we're just gonna be hoping that we find someone
20:02we're gonna do a lot more than just hope Lucky listen I'm not gonna let you beat
20:10yourself up like that it's not gonna do your sister any good and besides it's
20:14just not true isn't it no it isn't I mean you had no way of knowing what was
20:24coming when you left poor Charles and you deserve to live your own life
20:30wherever that may take you I had responsibilities here I'm not gonna
20:36argue with you there but you also had dreams and they were dreams that had a
20:45profound effect on other people just think about all those doctors and those
20:50patients where would they be right now if you hadn't provided security for that
20:55clinic you saved lives yeah but I can't save the life that matters the most
21:02sweetheart if your sister was here right now I know she would say how proud she
21:10is of you for the work that you've done in the world
21:14I don't know about that mom. I know you're worried about your mom for going to talk
21:21to Anna. That was a bad idea. How'd you know I went to the police station? I had
21:26Spinelli put tracking software on your phone. What? Michael, you can't stalk me. You asked for my
21:32help. I did not give you the permission to invade my privacy. I didn't want to.
21:36You just you refused to listen to me. That's because I'm sick of everyone
21:40telling me what to do. Chrissy, telling the police what you did the night that
21:45Cates was murdered will put your future in jeopardy and likely make things worse
21:50for Alexis. How could things possibly get any worse? My mother's trial is three
21:55weeks away and she's going to be convicted for a murder she didn't commit.
21:59One our father did. You and Donna leaving the country is not gonna be easy boo.
22:05What else are you gonna do? You're gonna you're gonna fight this out? Yeah.
22:10Support my family while it collapses. What are you talking about?
22:16Elizabeth called before you got here. Lucky isn't a viable donor for Lulu.
22:24I'm sorry I know how much you were counting on. And she can't be put on the
22:28National Registry because she's too sick. And finding a private donor is a long
22:32shot. So Lulu's gonna die and there's nothing we can do about it. That's why I
22:38can't leave my family, Sonny. Not when they need all the help they can get. I'm
22:42not going anywhere. And Rocco and Dante they need you. So you can't get thrown
22:49into Bentonville? Neither can you. I know it's a long shot for me to beat these
22:55charges but at least I have a chance. You've got none. We all think there is
23:01something we could have done to avoid this. I don't think, I know. When could you
23:07have changed the outcome? The minute Cates said Carly's name? And the moment
23:11you protested, Cates would have thrown you into solitary. You might still be
23:15there. Your family might even believe that you had died in Greece and you
23:20would have had zero chance to carry out any plan. I had plenty of opportunities, Diane.
23:25Jason, John Cates is a federal agent. Was. And the government, as you can see, is
23:32moving heaven and earth to find his killer. Even someone as experienced as
23:38you could hardly presume that you would simply have walked away from it. Yeah,
23:42maybe not. But it would have mattered less if I hadn't.
23:48What happens to me isn't as important what happens to Sonny and Carly.
23:53Oh. Okay, what? I doubt your sons would agree with that.
24:01I don't know. I mean, it seemed like she was about to admit to killing John Cates.
24:08Or at least knowing who did it. Yes, of course I know what this means. It means
24:14the U.S. attorney is most likely prosecuting Alexis for a crime that she
24:18didn't commit. So what are we going to do about that?
24:24We need to evacuate. What is it, a fire? A bomb.
24:30We all have our flaws. Just ask my husband about mine.
24:44You're one of the strongest people I've ever known.
24:49I mean, if I wind up half the person you are, then I'll be good.
24:55You are good. You're a good man who strives to be a better man all the time
25:02and to help others. Yeah, but I could have
25:06done that here. No, I don't. I'm not so sure about that, Lucky.
25:12I have always known that the day would come when
25:16you'd leave Port Charles and me. You're so much like your father, and
25:22for God's sakes, you were on the run with us from
25:26the time you were a little baby. By the time you were crawling, you were going
25:30off on adventures.
25:33You know, you remember when we had the Triple L? Remember that?
25:41But eventually, trouble caught up with us there, too.
25:46We were separated from you for weeks. I mean, any other parents would be
25:57absolutely beside themselves, you know? And we were worried, of course. Don't get
26:03me wrong about that, but we also knew that even at your tender
26:08age, you knew how to take care of yourself.
26:13It's because you both taught me how to survive.
26:17Yeah, we did. But hopefully, we also taught you how to
26:23thrive. And so the day came when you could no
26:27longer thrive in Port Charles, but Lucky, I've always known
26:34that one day you would come back when you were ready. And here you are,
26:41just when your sister and I need you the most.
26:47That's what I said. That's what I told you to check the cameras in the garage.
26:51Now. What? They moved everyone back 200 feet. Hazardous devices is working on
26:57the package now. What do they know? The package was found
27:00in a motor pool, so they called a canine unit and the dogs reacted to it.
27:04Okay, do they know how it got here? Not yet.
27:07IT is working on police surveillance. It looks like the package was
27:12deliberately placed in a blind spot so the person who put it there
27:16won't be caught on cameras. Look, Anna, whoever did this, they knew
27:22exactly what they were doing. I don't know what that told you, but
27:26look, going to the police was a terrible, impulsive decision. It didn't account for
27:30all the possible consequences.
27:35Just like I didn't account for the consequences when I went over to
27:41confront Eva at her hotel room.
27:44I hate how the fallout of my decisions affected Jake and Danny. I'll be spending
27:48the rest of my life making up for my mistakes.
27:50Well, how do you plan to do that from inside a prison cell?
27:54They're used to living without me. I mean, they lose more than they gain by
27:58having me in their lives. Only Jake and Danny are qualified to
28:02make that decision. I get why you took Kate's deal back then.
28:06It was noble, it was selfless, but circumstances have changed.
28:12Not really. Oh, yeah. There are people who love and need you, Jason.
28:18You no longer have the luxury of deciding that your life isn't worth as
28:21much as someone else's. Imagine you saying that to your kids.
28:26Imagine how much hearing you say that would hurt them.
28:31That's the last thing I want. Right. So you think about that
28:35the next time you decide to sacrifice yourself for someone else.
28:41Okay, you're gonna have to go home and you're gonna have to get your affairs in
28:43order. And you need to warn Dante. He has so
28:47much going on right now. He does not need to be blindsided by this.
28:51All right. I'm gonna talk to Jocelyn. Can you tell her I'm sorry that I didn't
28:57know it was gonna turn out like this. Hey, I did this to myself.
29:03I agreed to help you and I don't get to throw it back up in your face now that I
29:06have to deal with the consequences. Consequences that should all be mine.
29:09I'm the one who pulled the trigger. Okay. Kate was willing to kill Ava to get
29:14to you. To ruin Jason's life, my life, and put
29:18Christine in prison. And God knows what the hell he'd be
29:21doing right now if he were still alive. He's gone and our kids are safe.
29:27All it cost them was their parents.
29:31One picture of Carly with a WSB agent doesn't prove anything. It doesn't have
29:36to. All it's got to do is call into
29:39question U.S. Attorney's narrative of the crime. They're never gonna go
29:44forward with the prosecution got a hole in it this big.
29:48They'll have to let you go and reopen the case.
29:51I'll still be a suspect. Maybe, but you won't be the number one suspect.
29:56This picture frees you, takes the pressure off Christina,
29:59and it redirects attention back onto the real killer?
30:03Maybe. Alexis, maybe. You know something, right now this is the only card we have
30:08to play. But by all means, you know, you're the
30:10boss. You tell me. I mean, maybe you got a thing for prison
30:13issues. Sitting around, twiddling your thumbs, praying for divine
30:17intervention while you rot in a cell. Unable to be there for your daughter.
30:22And hey, let's not forget the entire time the lovely Carly Spencer's out there
30:26entertaining notorious bachelors. Do it. Thank you. I'm already on it.
30:32Martin, if when you turn that photo over to
30:36police you feel tempted to suggest that Sonny was covering up for Carly,
30:43go right ahead.
30:49I wish there was something I could do for Lulu. You know,
30:52anything.
30:55So did your brother.
31:02He was really crushed to find out that he couldn't be a viable donor.
31:08You know, I think part of him felt like
31:12if he would do that, it would somehow help to make up for some of the
31:16the bad choices he made that put him in prison.
31:20You know, I know how hard it must be for you to see him behind bars and
31:25I mean, I understand him wanting to make amends.
31:30But no one can bear every burden, you know. Yeah, right now I'd settle for
31:35carrying just one. I know you would. Mom, you went through so much
31:44when I was away and
31:47I just, I wish, I wish that I'd been here
31:51for you to lean on at least once.
31:58Well, I think I'll be leaning on you plenty before this is over.
32:07Done. What's done? Well, I just left a message for Nina
32:12asking her to use all her immediate contacts to get the word out about Lulu's
32:15condition. Really? And then I texted everyone on
32:20my contact list and I mean everyone. I mean friends and
32:23family, everyone from the old neighborhood, every vendor,
32:27every contractor, every dishwasher I ever worked with got
32:31my SOS about Lulu. You just wait. People are going to roll up their sleeves
32:37in droves to get tested, honey. We're going to find a donor in no time.
32:41Just hope they get here and do it soon because she's looking really weak.
32:45I know Lulu's in real trouble, but
32:50but so were the Mets in game six and look how that turned out,
32:54huh? We don't like the Mets, we like the Yankees. I know, I know, but today
32:59we're Mets fans and the same rules apply.
33:05Miracles happen, like the Mets say. You gotta believe.
33:13I've wished millions of times I could change what happened that night,
33:18but I can't. So when you say I'm impulsive, you're right. And when you say
33:25there could be consequences that I'm not prepared for, I
33:29get that because I'm living those consequences right now.
33:33So I'll listen to you. I'll keep quiet. What? For now. But if it comes down to it,
33:41I'm not going to let my mom stay in prison for a crime she didn't commit.
33:44She's innocent, Michael. Yes, if anything changes, I will. Thank you.
33:49Bye. Yeah, my god. Brennan is the last person we need help from right now.
33:53Commissioner. Yes. It's all clear. You can go back in now.
33:57What are you saying? That the device is disarmed? There is no device.
34:01It was a false alarm. All our tests on the package show no trace of explosive material.
34:07Okay. Thank you.
34:12Well, what the hell is it then? Let's open it. Find out.
34:21I don't want to fail my boys again, but I don't want to fail Sonny either.
34:26Jason, I get that making the occasional hard sacrifice comes with your job description,
34:34but you can only make those sacrifices if you're around to do it. We all learned that the hard way
34:38those years you were lost to us. Now we're in danger of losing Sonny.
34:43Sonny chose his life. Whether you want to admit it or not, so did Carly.
34:48She still shouldn't have to pay for what happened to Kate's.
34:51I'll make you a promise. When it comes time to stand up beside Carly,
34:56I will do it to the best of my considerable ability.
35:00What are the odds of success? Not great, but that doesn't mean we don't try.
35:16Speak of the devil.
35:17Hey, Sonny. I'm with Carly. We need to talk now.
35:26What's going on? I'm going to let him tell you.
35:31You know what you have to do, Diane. Let me know when it's time. Okay. Bye-bye.
35:41Carly, sure you are. I thought you should do that.
35:44I'm going to put an end to this. Meaning what?
35:48I'm turning myself in. Diane's, uh, she's making a deal right now.
35:55What kind of deal? I'm confessing to Jagger Kate's killing
36:04and everything else. What's everything else?
36:07Everything the Feds want. And, you know, whatever the Feds want,
36:11and, you know, whatever the statute of limitations allows.
36:20What are you going to do about this? Nice choice.
36:23I'm going to give them everything. I'm going to cop to it all.
36:28Everything they've always wanted in exchange for one thing.
36:33And what's that? No one pays for Jagger's death.
36:40But me. Lights out!
36:51It's important. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but Commissioner Devane is unavailable.
36:54I've got something Anna needs to see right now, and it's vital to the case against my client,
36:59Alexis Davis. Then you need to take that up with the U.S. Attorney,
37:03because it is out of the PCPD's hands.
37:05Thank you. What is it?
37:08Oh, whoa. Yep, it's not at all what I expected,
37:16and it's a nine millimeter. Just like the one Rick and Elizabeth
37:19saw Alexis dump off the bridge the night Agent Kate was murdered?
37:23Yeah. It's the gun Alexis said would exonerate her if it was found.
37:36Lucky, your sister's body has been through an awful lot.
37:46Time is not on her side. You said that you wanted to do something.
37:53If the worst should come to pass, and if we have to let our girl go,
38:09will you please just stay with me and hold my hand when I say goodbye?
38:17Of course. Of course.
38:19Thank you. Thank you.
