00:00You need a moment?
00:01No, I'm fine.
00:04I'll keep this brief in deference to your ordeal.
00:07Okay.
00:10Why are you lying?
00:13We can all see how upset you are.
00:17I'm very sorry for your loss.
00:19Your Honor, I have no questions for the witness at this time,
00:22but I do reserve the right to recall her at a later time.
00:25You may step down.
00:30What the hell are you doing?
00:41Hey.
00:42Hi.
00:43Thanks for meeting me.
00:44I assume you've nailed down your travel plans?
00:46You're leaving town?
00:48That depends.
00:50On what?
00:52You.
00:53Me?
00:54Yeah, Lucas said you were in trouble,
00:56and if that's true, I want to help.
00:58Oh, no, no, no, there's nothing you can do.
01:03Try me.
01:07All right.
01:10The results of Sam's autopsy
01:14confirm there was no surgical error.
01:18Okay, well, that's good.
01:19I mean, Lucas would have never forgiven himself
01:22if he had contributed to Sam's death in any way.
01:24Yeah.
01:25Yeah, and I'm really happy for him.
01:28But now that Lucas is in the clear,
01:32the inquiry is focusing on me.
01:43You need some help?
01:45I could use a ride.
01:47Okay, yeah, no problem. Hop on in.
01:59You okay?
02:01Yeah, all good.
02:03Thanks for stopping.
02:06Yeah, you're welcome.
02:12I'm sorry to just come over like this.
02:16It's not a problem.
02:17Your text said you needed to talk.
02:19I'm taking you up on your invitation
02:21to think of you as family.
02:22But if this is too much too soon,
02:24then just let me know.
02:25Okay, duly noted.
02:26What's going on?
02:27You know what?
02:28This is really not your...
02:30Okay, now I'm getting a little worried.
02:32This is obviously a big deal
02:33and something you need to share.
02:35You can tell me.
02:36I promise I do not shock easily.
02:38I think I might be pregnant.
02:40Oh, wow.
02:41Pregnant.
02:44Shocked?
02:46No, not exactly.
02:47I mean, I wasn't expecting it, but...
02:50Sasha, please tell me Cody is not the father.
02:52No, no, we never got that far.
02:54Thank God.
02:56Wait, then who's the dad?
03:00Trust me.
03:03Good job up there.
03:04You held your ground, sweetheart.
03:06You did great.
03:09I don't trust Rick.
03:10No, you shouldn't.
03:12He's gonna recall her.
03:13He's gonna recall her when it works best for him.
03:15Trust me.
03:16What the hell is he up to?
03:26Okay.
03:27How did this potentially life-changing situation come about?
03:31I had just told Cody that we had to stop seeing each other.
03:35And why?
03:37Not a typical way to break up with a guy.
03:39Letting him know you're first cousins.
03:42I'm sorry.
03:43I'm sorry.
03:45I'm sorry.
03:46I'm sorry.
03:47I'm sorry.
03:48I'm sorry.
03:49I'm sorry.
03:50I'm sorry.
03:51I'm sorry.
03:52I'm sorry.
03:53I'm sorry.
03:55He did not take it well.
03:57And I don't blame him.
03:59I really had to work hard to convince him of the truth.
04:02And when I did, he ...
04:04He walked out and ...
04:06I was devastated.
04:07Yeah.
04:08What else would you be?
04:10I, uh, wound up at the Brown Dog bar.
04:12And I found myself drinking much too much with someone else who was having a ...
04:19Bad night, and it ...
04:21It just happened.
04:22What's happened?
04:24Is this someone you're interested in?
04:27No, no, no, no, no, absolutely not.
04:30We were just two people who were hurting
04:33and found comfort in each other, that's it.
04:36Yeah, unless you're pregnant.
04:38Unless I'm pregnant.
04:39Okay, well, did you take a test?
04:43I, uh, I bought one.
04:45That's not the same as taking one.
04:48I know.
04:50Okay, well, do you feel pregnant?
04:54I definitely feel off.
04:57But life has been super stressful lately,
04:59so it could just be that.
05:01Taking the test could be marking
05:02one more stressful thing off your list.
05:04Or adding a lot more to it.
05:09Having another baby never crossed my mind.
05:11There's a million things going through my head
05:14and I can't even begin to sort them out.
05:17Okay, let's start with this.
05:20Sasha, you're pregnant.
05:22How does that make you feel?
05:25Scared.
05:27They're trying to pin Sam's death on you.
05:29No, no, no, of course not.
05:32But now that the surgical error has been eliminated,
05:35the hospital's reviewing all the staff.
05:38Anyone who interacted with or cared for Sam.
05:41And since I'm the head nurse
05:43and I had direct contact with her,
05:45I'm at the top of the list.
05:47How did the autopsy say that Sam died?
05:50A massive dose of Digitalis.
05:53Digitalis?
05:54It's given to heart patients.
05:57It stabilizes the heart rate and increases blood flow.
06:00And Sam needed that?
06:01No, no, her heart was fine.
06:05And there's no mention of Digitalis
06:07anywhere in her medical chart.
06:08Okay, which means?
06:10The current theory is that someone grabbed the wrong drug
06:14and gave it to her accidentally.
06:16Could that actually happen though?
06:20She was recovering from major surgery.
06:22She was being given morphine.
06:25The morphine and the Digitalis
06:26are kept in the same drug locker.
06:27So yeah, they think it's possible.
06:30But has anyone on your team
06:31ever made a mistake like that before?
06:32Never, never.
06:34My nurses are among the best in the country.
06:37We follow protocol, we double check each other.
06:41But at the end of the day, we're human.
06:45And humans make mistakes.
06:47I'm the last person who would argue with that.
06:55Where are you headed?
06:58Where are you going?
07:00Well, I just picked up some horse feed
07:02from Beecher's Corners and just heading home.
07:07Where's home?
07:09Port Charles.
07:12I live in Port Charles.
07:14Really?
07:15That worked out good.
07:17Whereabouts?
07:18A few blocks south of Rice Plaza.
07:23Are you hurt?
07:24Should I take you to the hospital?
07:27No, I'm just a little cold.
07:32No coat?
07:34My boyfriend and I, we got in a fight.
07:36My ex-boyfriend now, he kicked me out of his car.
07:41Did he hurt you?
07:45No, but I left my coat in his car.
07:48And he just left you on the side of the road without a coat?
07:53That's a jerk.
07:56He always has been.
07:59Are you sure you're okay?
08:03I will be once I get home.
08:05Yeah, home makes everything better, most of the time.
08:10You have a phone, or?
08:13It's with my coat.
08:16Well, you, I mean, you can use mine if you want.
08:20Oh, but the only number I know by heart is my own.
08:24Right, yeah, I guess you probably
08:25don't wanna talk to your boyfriend right now.
08:29Huh?
08:31You left your phone in his car?
08:34Right, yeah, sorry, I'm just a little preoccupied.
08:39No worries.
08:42Yeah, sorry about that.
08:44I didn't know I was gonna have company,
08:46so I forgot to tidy up.
08:51You have kids?
08:53No, I just really like those things.
08:56I keep them here in a little stash if you want one.
09:00Help yourself.
09:04What flavor is this?
09:06Watermelon, you got a good one.
09:10Hardly.
09:12Don't you have any real flavors?
09:14Cherry or grape, orange?
09:17By real, you mean boring?
09:20Classic.
09:22Well, if you don't want it, I'll take it.
09:28It's starting to grow on me.
09:30My partner, Detective Chase, got a report
09:32of an incident at the Metricorp pool
09:34where there was at least one injured party.
09:36And did you know who that injured party was?
09:38Not at the time, no.
09:39Well, once you arrived at the scene,
09:41did you learn the identity of the victim?
09:43Yeah, it was Christina Corinthos Davis.
09:46And what is your relationship to Ms. Corinthos Davis?
09:48She's my half-sister, we share the same father.
09:51And what is your relationship to her?
09:53I don't know, I don't know anything about her.
09:55I don't know anything about her.
09:57She's my half-sister, we share the same father.
10:00What did you do once you got to the Metricorp pool?
10:04I questioned some witnesses,
10:05they told me they had seen someone in the upper floor window
10:08and I went to investigate.
10:10And what happened when you went up to that upper floor room?
10:13I knocked on the door and Ava Jerome answered.
10:17Did that surprise you?
10:19No, because the witness, Trina Robinson,
10:21told me that Ava was the one standing in the window.
10:24And were you acquainted with the defendant, Ms. Jerome,
10:27prior to this incident?
10:29Yeah, my half-sister, Avery, is her daughter.
10:32Small world.
10:35So, you found Ava Jerome in the hotel suite.
10:39Did you notice anything unusual about her?
10:45Yeah, she was acting suspiciously.
10:47Oh, objection, Your Honor, course of speculation,
10:50Detective Falconeri is not a psychiatrist.
10:52Your Honor, Detective Falconeri is certainly qualified
10:55to determine when a suspect is showing suspicious behavior.
10:58Sustained, but counsel, you need to lay some foundation.
11:02Detective Falconeri, could you give us an example
11:05of what seems suspicious
11:07about Ava Jerome's behavior that afternoon?
11:10She changed her story several times.
11:13When I asked her if she had closed the curtains
11:15after Christina fell, she said she didn't.
11:17When I told her then that a witness saw her do so,
11:19she admitted that she did.
11:23Detective, why did you question Ms. Jerome?
11:25Objection, questioning witnesses is Detective Falconeri's job,
11:29as I'm sure counsel knows.
11:30I will rephrase.
11:31Detective, why didn't you let your partner
11:34question my client?
11:36Because he was busy questioning other witnesses.
11:39Your father's currently in a heated custody dispute
11:41with Ms. Jerome, is he not?
11:43What's that got to do with anything?
11:44So, are we just supposed to expect to believe
11:46that it's a coincidence that you were the only one
11:48who could question my client?
11:50Didn't occur to you that it might be a conflict of interest
11:52or that your judgment might be compromised?
11:54Objection, argumentative.
11:56Sustained.
11:57All right, I withdraw the question.
11:59Detective, why did you go to the PCPD with my client
12:03rather than GH with your sister?
12:04To question Ms. Jerome further at the station.
12:09Detective, do you believe Ms. Jerome is a good mother
12:11to your half-sister, Avery?
12:12Objection, no foundation.
12:14How would he know?
12:16Detective Falconeri has not lived
12:17with the defendant or her daughter.
12:18I don't care what he knows.
12:20I'm merely asking his opinion.
12:21It goes to bias, Your Honor.
12:23I'll allow it.
12:25Last question again, Detective.
12:27Do you believe that Ms. Jerome is a good mother
12:29to your half-sister, Avery?
12:32No.
12:33And isn't it true that if Ms. Jerome is found guilty,
12:36then that means that your father's gonna be granted
12:37full custody of Avery?
12:39Objection, sustained.
12:43I have no questions.
12:45The jury's instructed to disregard all questions
12:47regarding custody issues and to refrain
12:49from speculating what that answer might be.
12:55You've made mistakes.
12:56So have I.
12:57So has everyone else.
12:59That's life.
13:00Yeah, not all mistakes are created equal.
13:03I mean, some are pretty damn special.
13:06People's lives are changed, their futures disappear.
13:10Sometimes.
13:12Anyway, the hospital is examining.
13:14Every second Sam was there, if a mistake was made,
13:17they will find it.
13:20Are you worried?
13:22For myself?
13:23No.
13:24No, I am confident I administered the proper medication.
13:28But someone did give her digitalis,
13:31and if it was one of my nurses,
13:32then they could lose their license.
13:34I'm gonna ask around, see if I can get a hold of her.
13:37I'm not sure if I can get a hold of her.
13:39Well, I'm gonna ask around, see if I can turn anything up.
13:43No, Lucky, there's really nothing you can do.
13:45Sam was a friend.
13:46She saved Lulu's life,
13:48and that led directly to her own death.
13:50I mean, that's reason enough to look into it.
13:52And now you're involved, too.
13:54Your actions are under review.
13:56So the sooner we have answers, the better.
13:59And besides, you know, I've solved a mystery or two
14:02in my time, you know?
14:04You were a pretty good detective back in the day.
14:07Back in the day, really?
14:09Oh, come on, I didn't mean it like that.
14:12You know what?
14:13Challenge accepted.
14:14To prove I still have it, and I do,
14:16I'm gonna figure out what happened to Sam.
14:19Fine, do it your way.
14:21You were going to anyway.
14:22I was.
14:24That's exactly right.
14:24Now, back in the day,
14:27we would start an investigation
14:29by asking a few questions.
14:30For instance, there has to be a record
14:32of the drugs that were given to Sam.
14:34What time and by whom?
14:36Yes, whoever administers the drug
14:39will immediately log in to the patient's chart
14:41along with their initials.
14:43Okay, so who was the last person
14:45that gave anything to Sam?
14:48EB.
14:52You.
14:55Were there any other misstatements by the defendant?
15:00Yeah, there was, actually.
15:02Ms. Jerome told me that it was a pair of shoes
15:04that were on the floor in a room
15:05that caused Christina to trip and fall out the window.
15:09And that wasn't true?
15:10No, later she changed her story
15:11and said that it was a bag, luggage,
15:13that was on the floor that caused Christina
15:14to go through the window.
15:15Oh, but did she give any reason for the lie?
15:19Yeah, she was trying to not disclose
15:22the identity of a male visitor.
15:24And that was more important than being forthcoming
15:27about the reason why a pregnant woman
15:28crashed through the window of her hotel suite?
15:30Objection!
15:32Withdrawn.
15:33These photos were taken of Ms. Jerome's suite
15:38after Ms. Corinthos Davis went out the window.
15:43Yes, that is the crime scene.
15:45You testified earlier that the curtains
15:47in Ms. Jerome's suite were closed when you arrived.
15:50They were.
15:51Well, why would Ms. Jerome close the curtains
15:54after Christina went out the window?
15:55Objection, cause for speculation.
15:57Objection, Your Honor!
15:58Sustained.
15:59You know better, Detective.
16:01I'm sorry, Your Honor.
16:03The jury would disregard the detective's last statement.
16:11What day is it?
16:13Tuesday.
16:15I meant the date.
16:18The 26th of November.
16:24Okay, good.
16:27Is November 26th your lucky day or something?
16:29Oh, no, it's my brother's birthday's the 27th.
16:33I was just worried I'd missed it.
16:35Well, I hope your brother keeps that ex-boyfriend
16:38of yours from hassling you.
16:42He would, but I don't need him to.
16:45You sure?
16:48I can take care of myself.
16:54I'm tougher than I look.
16:56Okay.
17:00Love it.
17:00City TV Plus, start your free trial today.
17:03Your Honor, the people rest.
17:08Mr. Lansing, any objection to a brief recess
17:11before you begin?
17:12None, Your Honor.
17:13We're adjourned for 10 minutes.
17:16All rise.
17:24Did the autopsy show morphine in Sam's system?
17:27Yes.
17:29So the digitalis wasn't swapped with morphine.
17:32Exactly, which was a point in my favor
17:35because that means I gave her the correct medication
17:38at the correct time, which was proven in her blood work.
17:42So what is the hospital thinking?
17:44I mean, a staff member not only picked the wrong drug,
17:46but gave it to the wrong patient?
17:48I mean...
17:51Sorry, hold on.
17:53Hello?
17:54I'm trying to reach Lucky Spencer.
17:55You got him.
17:56Mr. Spencer, this is Mr. Ferner from Turning Woods.
17:59I'm calling because you're listed
18:01as a contact for Lulu Spencer.
18:04I've been trying to reach out to Mayor Collins,
18:06but according to her assistant,
18:08she's dealing with city emergencies.
18:10Well, what's going on?
18:12Something happen with Lulu?
18:15Your sister is missing.
18:27You said you were picking up feed for horses,
18:29or do you drive a carriage in the park or something?
18:32What makes you think I don't own the horses?
18:36With this car?
18:38Well, maybe I use this car to pick up the horse feed
18:41so that I don't get my Ferrari dirty.
18:43What's wrong?
18:44Ferraris have paddle shifters.
18:46Not my Ferrari, no.
18:48Mine's old.
18:50Been imaginary.
18:52I'm sorry.
18:52I'm sorry.
18:53I'm sorry.
18:54I'm sorry.
18:55I'm imaginary.
18:57Yeah, no, I work with horses.
18:59Do you ride?
19:00I used to.
19:03Really?
19:04What kind?
19:05Western or English?
19:06English.
19:07To the great disappointment of my father and brother,
19:09they rode Western.
19:10Ah, so you're a family rebel.
19:15Something like that.
19:18When I lost Liam,
19:20I wasn't sure that I would get through it,
19:24and I almost didn't.
19:26Sasha, you have to give yourself credit.
19:30You managed to survive because I had Brando.
19:37Now I'm all alone.
19:39Are you sitting on this couch
19:40talking to yourself right now?
19:43No, I'm here, and I'm here for whatever you need.
19:47I know, but-
19:48I'm not done yet, okay?
19:49There's also Nina and Felicia and Willow,
19:53all of them big baby lovers.
19:55You're friends and family.
19:56We want to be here to help you.
19:59I'm so lucky to have all of you.
20:01It's just not the same.
20:04I know.
20:06It's not.
20:08Look, I think I could be a single mother
20:11if it came to that.
20:13It's just, what if what happened to Liam happens again?
20:19Hey, how are you holding up?
20:22Okay.
20:24I'm glad you're here with me.
20:27Me too.
20:32Rick's going to call me back.
20:33Just keep doing what you're doing,
20:35and don't let him get to you.
20:36Why didn't he just question me while I was up there?
20:38Because he was performing for the jury,
20:40trying to make it look like if he waited,
20:41it was an act of kindness.
20:44Did it work?
20:44I don't know, but what I do know
20:46is he's not going to look like Saint Rick
20:48when he gets you up on the stand,
20:50so just be ready for anything, okay?
20:54Are you planning on defending me
20:56at any point during this trial?
20:58Or are we hoping that the jury just falls in love
21:00with your Mr. Rogers act?
21:02Look, the jury needs to know
21:03that I'm a compassionate person
21:04that's simply trying to find the truth.
21:06Don't overdo it.
21:08Nobody likes a saccharine fake either.
21:11Up until now, it's been a prosecution show,
21:14but it's my turn.
21:16When I'm done, the jury will know
21:18that if anybody's to blame for baby Irene's death,
21:22it's Christina.
21:27Mr. Lansing, call your first witness.
21:29Thank you, Your Honor.
21:30The defense recalls Christina Corinthos Davis.
21:35Oh.
21:49The witness is reminded she's still under oath.
21:53You were your half-sister Molly's surrogate,
21:55were you not?
21:56Yes.
21:57And the baby you were carrying
21:58was Molly and her partner TJ's baby, correct?
22:00Objection.
22:01Prosecution already established
22:03that the witness is acting as a surrogate.
22:05Your Honor, this line of questioning
22:06goes to the witness's state of mind.
22:09I'll allow, but get to where you're going soon.
22:12Yes, Your Honor, thank you.
22:14I'll ask in a different way.
22:15Molly, you became pregnant
22:17so that Molly and TJ could have a child.
22:21Was that the agreement?
22:23Yes.
22:24But then you decided that you wanted
22:25to raise the baby as your own, correct?
22:27She was my baby.
22:29Well, it was also TJ's baby, correct?
22:32Yes.
22:34Yes, she was a part of me, though,
22:37and I couldn't give her up because I was-
22:39Right, you just were going around to everybody,
22:41telling them what a great and wonderful thing
22:43you were doing for your sister and her partner,
22:45but then you decided that you didn't wanna do it after all.
22:50I guess your word doesn't mean very much, does it?
22:53So are you close with your family?
22:56Yes.
22:57I mean, sometimes we lose track of each other,
22:59but I know I can count on my family for anything.
23:04You're very lucky.
23:07Yeah, I am.
23:11What about you?
23:13Oh, well, family's sort of a recent acquisition for me,
23:17but yeah, we're close.
23:22Finally have some people I can depend on.
23:26That's great.
23:28Family's everything.
23:30So I'm learning.
23:33I can't wait to see my kids.
23:36Were you away?
23:38Kind of, but not for that long.
23:41How many kids you got?
23:42Two, a boy and a girl.
23:45Love them more than anything.
23:47And even though it hasn't been that long
23:48since I've seen them,
23:52it feels like forever.
23:54I can't lose another child, Maxie, I can't.
23:57Okay, Sasha, slow down.
23:59You're getting a little ahead of yourself.
24:00You don't even know if you're pregnant.
24:02I know, but it's-
24:03No, I know all about wanting to pretend
24:07that everything is fine,
24:08wanting to pretend that everything is fine
24:11and that the situation just goes away.
24:14Let me guess, you're gonna tell me
24:16that approach doesn't work.
24:17Not once, not ever.
24:20Life happens, Sasha, and you have to just deal with it.
24:24Mom!
24:26Because if you don't, it just comes looking for you.
24:33What happened?
24:35I fell.
24:36But you were in bed.
24:38Okay, I know what happened.
24:40I doubt it.
24:41Really?
24:42I think you were in bed trying to get to the door
24:45without touching the floor.
24:47I gotta tell you something.
24:49The floor is not lava.
24:51Yes, it is, and it's super hot.
24:54James, what have I told you?
24:56You are never gonna make it.
24:57Your legs are not long enough.
24:59But I got really close this time.
25:02All right, well, the damage looks minimal,
25:04but that thing's gonna need a Band-Aid.
25:07Fine, I'm gonna make it next time.
25:09Right, if next time isn't like a few years.
25:14Objection?
25:15Sustained.
25:16Careful, Mr. Lansing.
25:17The ice beneath you is very thin.
25:19I apologize, Your Honor.
25:21What's he doing?
25:23His job.
25:24Ms. Corinthos-Davis,
25:25the day you went to my client's hotel room,
25:28how far along were you in your pregnancy?
25:3038 weeks.
25:32So you were only weeks away from your baby's due date,
25:34and you drove to my client's hotel room
25:36to initiate a confrontation?
25:37Objection, argumentative.
25:38Harassing the witness, sustained.
25:41Good girl, don't give him anything.
25:44Ask a real question, Ruth.
25:45Did Ms. Jerome invite you to her suite?
25:48No.
25:49So then it was your choice to go to the Metro Court?
25:51Yes.
25:52And you testified earlier
25:53that you wanted to talk to her about your subpoena.
25:56Yes, I warned Ava
25:58that if she forced me to testify against my father,
26:01I would tell the court
26:03all of the horrible things she has done.
26:06What has she done?
26:09She killed Connie Falconeri.
26:11She tampered with my brother's medication,
26:13and she is the reason my brother Morgan is dead.
26:21Okay.
26:22Hope?
26:25Bentley Woo likes those.
26:27What do you mean?
26:28Bentley Woo needs the baby kind with the picture.
26:32All right, fine.
26:33Then how about we just go with Iron Man
26:36in her honor?
26:37I guess.
26:39Okay.
26:41And here we go.
26:46Look at me.
26:47No more parkour tonight in your room.
26:50Parkour!
26:51Wow, I walked right into that one.
26:55Okay, now, where were we?
26:58I believe you were telling me
27:00I couldn't hide from reality.
27:02That's very wise.
27:04That sounds like me.
27:06Let's find out the truth, then.
27:12Your Honor, I'd like the record to reflect
27:13that my client has not been convicted
27:15of either of the crimes
27:16that Ms. Corinthos Davis has accused her of.
27:18So noted.
27:20But despite any lack of trial or conviction,
27:23you do still blame Ms. Jerome for your brother's death.
27:25Is that correct?
27:26Yes.
27:28And that's why you're accusing her of killing the baby
27:30that you carried for almost nine months?
27:31Because she's guilty.
27:33She pushed me.
27:34You hate Ms. Jerome, don't you?
27:37Yes.
27:38And that's why you drove to her hotel room
27:40and threatened her?
27:40Objection!
27:42Assumes facts, not in evidence.
27:44I did not threaten her.
27:45You didn't threaten her?
27:46Wait, I, see, I thought, just a minute, just a minute.
27:49Hold on, hold on, let me get up here.
27:51Yeah, I had it right here.
27:53You said, withdraw the subpoena or else.
27:56I don't remember what I said exactly.
27:58Well, my client did.
27:59This is her statement to the police.
28:01Like I said, I don't remember.
28:03So your memory of that day is faulty?
28:06I remember that Ava pushed me through the window.
28:09Well, I saw your initial statement to the police
28:12and you said you didn't remember anything
28:14that happened that day.
28:14I'm a little confused here, Ms. Corinthos Davis.
28:16Are you lying?
28:19I was in the hospital.
28:20I almost died.
28:21My baby did die.
28:25I'm Mr. Ferner.
28:26I'm the administrator here at Turning Woods.
28:28We spoke earlier on the phone.
28:29Yeah, hi.
28:30I wanna see my sister's room
28:31and then I want you to tell me exactly
28:33how you managed to lose her.
28:35Right this way.
28:45My sister's in a coma.
28:46I mean, she didn't leave on her own initiative.
28:50Somebody must've moved her somewhere.
28:51I have staff searching every corner of this facility.
28:54However, it's been hectic since the fire alarm.
28:56You had a fire?
28:58It was a false alarm.
28:59Somebody accidentally pulled the alarm.
29:02Which one was it?
29:04The one by the nurse's station.
29:07I'm sorry, I'm not sure I'm following.
29:09There was a fire alarm.
29:11It went off.
29:12Turned out to be a false alarm
29:13and that's when you realized Lulu was missing?
29:16Yes.
29:17If an alarm goes off, we make immediate inspection
29:20just to make sure that all the patients are accounted for
29:22and Lulu wasn't.
29:26Walk us through everything that happened.
29:29You know, I can drive you all the way home.
29:31It's really not a problem.
29:33I am not giving my address to a stranger,
29:36even one who's been as nice as you have.
29:40Well, hi, I'm Cody.
29:43Now we're not strangers.
29:47This is the part where you tell me your name.
29:52It was nice to meet you, Cody.
29:54Thanks for the ride.
29:57Oh, hey, before you go,
30:00just take it.
30:01I don't need money.
30:03You don't.
30:04You quite literally don't have a purse or a wallet.
30:07How would I pay you back?
30:10All right, well, this is how you can get in touch with me.
30:17To pay you back?
30:18Or, I don't know, you get in a jam,
30:20that ex-boyfriend of yours shows up,
30:22your brother's around, just give me a call.
30:24Oh, uh, and grape, for the road.
30:31Can't say no to a classic.
30:36Thank you, Cody.
30:38Really.
30:40You're obviously very emotional.
30:44I'm sorry, talking about the death of my child
30:47because Ava Jerome pushed me through a window
30:49and killed my daughter makes me emotional.
30:52Do you often let your emotions get the better of you?
30:54What?
30:55Objection!
30:56Objection!
30:56Objection!
30:57Objection!
30:58Objection!
30:59Objection!
31:00Objection!
31:01Objection!
31:01Objection!
31:02Objection!
31:03Objection!
31:04Objection!
31:05Objection!
31:06Objection!
31:07Objection!
31:07Objection!
31:08Objection!
31:10What's often, which emotions?
31:12Sustained.
31:13You have quite the temper.
31:14Objection.
31:15Sustained.
31:16Would you tell everyone what happened
31:18the night of October 17th of this year?
31:20October.
31:2117th, the night that you accosted Ms. Jerome
31:23and myself at the Port Charles Grill.
31:25Oh, God.
31:26Do you recall threatening Ms. Jerome on that occasion?
31:30I don't remember exactly what I said.
31:33That's fine, I can refresh your memory.
31:35You said, and I quote,
31:38you are going to prison, Ava.
31:40I am going to make sure of it.
31:45I may have said that.
31:47Yes, and when I told you that it really wasn't up to you
31:49and that Ms. Jerome could be exonerated,
31:51you said, and again, I quote,
31:53then I will find another way to make you pay.
31:57Your Honor, I have sworn affidavits from four diners
32:00and three staff, all of them stating
32:02that they heard Ms. Corinthos Davis threaten Ms. Jerome,
32:04both physically and verbally.
32:06What?
32:06I never touched her.
32:07Did you smash a glass?
32:08You were implying that it was my fault my daughter died.
32:12Ms. Corinthos Davis, by your own admission,
32:14you sought out my client.
32:16You went to her hotel room,
32:17you demanded that she withdraw the subpoena,
32:19and when she didn't, you made threats.
32:21No, I-
32:22Your actions led directly to your fall,
32:24and your fall is the cause of your child's death.
32:28That makes you responsible.
32:30Objection.
32:36When was the last time anybody saw my sister?
32:39Around seven.
32:41One of the other nurses and I
32:42asked Ms. Spencer's visitor to leave
32:44so we could do a routine check on Lulu.
32:46Who was the visitor?
32:48Cyrus Renault.
32:54Would you say that your anger got the better of you,
32:56the same way it did when you accosted Ms. Jerome
32:58and myself at the Port Charles Grill?
32:59That's not what-
33:00Objection.
33:01Argumentative badgering the witness.
33:02Withdrawn.
33:03You were 38 weeks pregnant.
33:05Yes.
33:05And you were eluded to the maternal feelings
33:07that you had for this child that you were carrying.
33:10I said she was my baby, and she was my baby.
33:12So how could you, someone who claims
33:14to have such deep maternal instincts,
33:16risk confronting a woman that you
33:18apparently believe was so dangerous?
33:21Objection.
33:21I'll rephrase.
33:23Did you think about the baby that you pretended
33:24to love so much when you accosted
33:27and went to see Ms. Jerome in her hotel room?
33:29Objection.
33:29I did pretend.
33:30I did love my baby.
33:32I still do.
33:34And I never would have gone to Ava's hotel room
33:37if I ever thought I was-
33:37That's right.
33:38You didn't think, right?
33:39You confronted Ms. Jerome,
33:40you let your emotions get the better of you,
33:42and you accosted Ms. Jerome.
33:44No, that, no, no.
33:45Objection.
33:46Mr. Lansing is testifying and badgering the witness.
33:49That's why you went through the window,
33:50isn't it, Christina?
33:52No.
33:54That's why your baby's dead.
33:56Not because of Ava.
33:58Because of you.
33:59Objection.
34:00Your Honor, this is outrageous.
34:01Mr. Lansing, enough.
34:03I didn't kill my baby.
34:05I didn't.
34:05I didn't kill my daughter.
34:07I did not kill my daughter.
34:09I didn't.
34:10I didn't kill my daughter.
34:13Now?
34:15Almost.
34:16So, have you heard from your parents?
34:20Make it sound so normal.
34:22No, I have not heard from my mother,
34:25the career con woman,
34:26or my newfound father, the ex-spy.
34:29Are you worried?
34:31Of course not.
34:32I mean, obviously my mother is in trouble.
34:34That's standard for her.
34:36But Robert has loads of experience
34:38with international intrigue in general,
34:41and my mother in particular.
34:43I get the sense that he enjoys saving her.
34:46And I'm sure she'll enjoy being saved.
34:50Oh, you did that on purpose.
34:52Well, time flies when you're talking
34:54about family dysfunction, so.
34:57And on the subject of family,
35:02please.
35:10Well,
35:13I'm pregnant.
35:32
35:39
