Dante, Nathan, and Jordan find Johnny and question him for his actions before he can escape town. He finally states to them that he "threatened" Lulu into giving him a place to stay and found a way to "use" Valerie Spencer as a way to get a "rookie cop in his pocket." They take him into custody and are content with that although Dante is very upset and feels betrayed knowing that Lulu obviously put Johnny up to what resulted in his kidnapping and almost getting Valerie burned to death in a fire. She protests to Dante that she "can explain," but he concludes he cannot trust her anymore. Robert meets with Anna and she fills him in on all the details of the latest corrupt happenings in Port Charles since he's been gone. Knowing that Mayor Lomax has gotten her election fixed and has enabled her cronies to take over police commissioner as well as DA positions, and knowing her recent relationship with Paul Hornsby, they know there is something up. Robert concludes to his ex that he thinks she can use her sex appeal to her advantage in beating him at his own game. Although Anna does not consider it and questions the validity of Robert's theory, he tells her it's obvious Paul has the hots for her. So, he believes she can manipulate Paul, without having to "do much" into confessing his illegal secrets to her. It appears Robert is definitely correct that Paul has "feelings" for Anna as we see him frustrated and fuming to see that Robert gets to have a "relationship" with Anna whereas he does not. Ava goes to Paul's room for an "encounter", which he takes her up on. Yet he clearly has somebody else on his mind. Olivia meets with Mayor Lomax to plan the menu for the governor's event at The Metro Court, but when she starts to breastfeed baby Leo, Janice is horrified. Olivia protests that she has the right to feed her child while working although Mayor Lomax tells her it's "indecent" to expose half her body in public. When Olivia continues to argue and protest, the mayor threatens to have a security officer come to detain Olivia.
Anna: I really like this house. I think it's lovely. Robert: Uh, well, houses go -- I guess it's all right. Anna: No, look. It has four large bedrooms and a fireplace and it has wood floors throughout. It's on a corner lot, which is hard to find, and a little neighborhood street. I think it's lovely. Hostess: We're ready for you now. Anna: Oh, thank you. Robert: Tell me, why is it that they've got to make a commitment to a house at -- at this point. I mean, all right. What happens if, uh, if it doesn't work out? Anna: Well, then they put the house on the market and they move. I mean, I'm not gonna hold my breath, because, quite frankly -- thank you -- they like it there, and... as much as I miss them... I think they made a really good choice. Robert: I think we're being very magnanimous, given the fact that they took your granddaughter away. Anna: I'm fine. I have a life here. I-I have things that I want to accomplish. Robert: Okay. Anna: First on my list is taking the DA down. [SCENE_BREAK] Ava: On your way to baby yoga? Olivia: That's right. Ava: Yeah, so are we. I'm just having trouble finding the room. Olivia: You sure there's not some other activity that you could use to bond with your daughter? One that doesn't take place in the hotel that my cousin used to own before her life was so tragically cut short? Ava: The sign-up page said the class is open to the public. Olivia: So it did. I'll just have to chalk that up to being good for Sonny's daughter. Ava: Olivia... where's the damn room? Olivia: It's downstairs, in the spa annex. Take the elevator down to the first floor and turn left. Ava: Are you coming? Olivia: I'll take the service elevator. [SCENE_BREAK] Jordan: Okay, so this photo was taken yesterday. Dante: We can check the images from the bridge cameras, and if she crossed the bridge and she stayed on 51... Jordan: We got speed cameras for 10 miles, all the way to county line. Dante: Okay, I'm gonna check those. Okay. We'll know if she left the county, and, if not, we'll know where she got off on 51. Jordan: [Sighs] André. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. André: You stand me up -- I bring you coffee. Seems fair. Jordan: Mm. I completely forgot that we were having dinner last night. André: Tell me you're working on a big case, otherwise my ego will be crushed. Jordan: Actually, one of my cadets is disappeared with a known fugitive. André: And my ego is safe. Jordan: Thank you... for actually taking the time to find out what actually happened instead of assuming that I just blew you off. André: You're in a high-pressure job. Broken dates come with the territory. Jordan: Intelligent, charming, understanding, and apparently a great cartoonist. André: [Chuckles] Jordan: Is there anything you can't do? [SCENE_BREAK] Maxie: Hey. Have you heard from Lulu? Dante: No, I've called her nonstop. Just keeps going to voicemail. Maxie: What is that? [Cell phone rings] Dante: [Sighs] Nathan, what's up? You got Valerie? What about Lulu? [SCENE_BREAK] Lulu: We lived through the night. Valerie: Apparently. Lulu: Valerie! [Scoffs] Valerie! [Grunts] Valerie. What are you doing? Valerie: Moving around to get warm. Lulu: [Sighs and starts jumping] Valerie: Aw, yes. I can finally feel my toes again. Lulu: [Breathing heavily] Valerie: Thank you for saving my life. Lulu: You're welcome. Valerie: How did you know where to find me? Lulu: What? Valerie: Lulu... did you and Johnny Zacchara set me up? [SCENE_BREAK] Dante: Johnny ditched Valerie's car in a supermarket parking lot in Greenfield. Nathan picked him up boarding a bus to Niagara. Jordan: Oh, he was probably trying to cross the border with the rest of the tourists. Dante: Yeah. Jordan: Detective. I understand you apprehended Mr. Zacchara trying to board a bus to Niagara. Nathan: He had some false documents -- including a fake US passport. Jordan: Mr. Zacchara, I'm Police Commissioner Ashford. Johnny: Commissioner. Jordan: Where'd you, uh, where'd you get these forged documents? Johnny: I ain't got nothing to say without my lawyer present. Jordan: Do you have legal representation? Johnny: Not at the moment, so there's really no point in you questioning me. Jordan: Mm. Uh, can you call over to the courthouse? Have them send over the pro-bono lawyer working today. Mr. Zacchara, I've reviewed your very extensive police record, and as many times as you've been through the system, you kind of have some idea just how much trouble you're actually in. So you want to cooperate with me. Where's my cadet? [SCENE_BREAK] Paul: Mayor Lomax. Mayor Lomax: Pleased to see you. Paul: Good to see you, as well. [SCENE_BREAK] Robert: Well, lookie who's having breakfast with Hornsby. Anna: Wow. Our highly corrupt and ambitious Mayor Janice Lomax. Guess she and Paul are old friends. Robert: She appointed him, right? Anna: Right. Yeah, yeah. I mean, it's a whole long saga. Scotty Baldwin -- he resigned as DA. Robert: Well, that can't be bad. Anna: Better the devil you know... and then, Ric Lansing, he took the position for less than a month, and then she booted him out and appointed Paul Acting DA. And that should've been my first clue that he was a crook. You know, Lomax conspired with Nikolas Cassadine and Kyle Sloane to rig the election. I mean, technically, she shouldn't be in office. It should be Felicia. Robert: Let's forget about Lomax and voter fraud for the moment. Number-one target is Hornsby. Now, you tell me that this guy's possibly murdered someone? Anna: Yeah. We just have to prove it. [SCENE_BREAK] Mayor Lomax: Do we have an update on the organized crime task force? Paul: Well, as you know, I'm using Anna Devane as my special investigator. I'm confident she'll get us results. Mayor Lomax: And who is she specifically investigating? Paul: Sonny Corinthos, of course. Mayor Lomax: What about the Jeromes? Paul: Both Ava and Julian are walking the straight and narrow. Corinthos is where we need to focus our efforts. Mayor Lomax: Hmm. Do you know how many officials have tried and failed to bring down Sonny Corinthos? And there's a reason for that. He's ruthless, he's well-established, and he's very, very popular. Paul: Well, would you like me to back off? Mayor Lomax: No, no, no. I just want you to play this smart. You're my appointment. You go after the Teflon don and you end up with egg on your face... reflects badly on me. Paul: Well, Anna was able to send him to prison. Mayor Lomax: For all of about five minutes. It was his own son who turned him in. He confessed out of remorse. No, despite the legendary reputation, Anna is not the reason why Sonny... oh, speaking of legends. Your special investigator is here with her ex Robert Scorpio. Have you ever met him? Paul: Many times. We knew each other well, back in the day. [SCENE_BREAK] Dante: We know you and Valerie took 51 across the bridge. Where did you leave her? Johnny: Why does that matter? And why all this interest in a cadet all of a sudden? Dante: Really, you son of a bitch? Johnny: Detective, I've done my fair share of damage in my life, but I ain't a hypocrite. That's more than you can say, huh? Dante: Ooh, that's big words for you, Johnny. Johnny: Lech. Dante: Yeah? Yeah? Nathan: Enough, enough, enough, enough. Zacchara's my collar. I should be the one to question him. Dante: Yeah. He's all yours. [SCENE_BREAK] Lulu: In case you've missed it, we're in a pretty desperate circumstance here, so I think we should probably just focus on not freezing to death. Valerie: We're in the middle of nowhere, Lulu. How in the world did you just happen to find me and rescue me? Lulu: I-I saw the glow of the fire from the road, a-and I went to check it out, which is how I managed to save you, so I think that you would just be grateful. Valerie: Johnny made a phone call, and he told the person on the other end to bring his bag and some money, but he couldn't stay. He had to take off, and the one thing he said before he left was "someone would find me." [Scoffs] You're that someone, aren't you, Lulu? Lulu: Do you hear yourself? You sound paranoid. Valerie: You sound guilty. Johnny called you. Lulu: [Scoffs] Valerie: You're working with him! Lulu: Working? Working on what? Valerie: Oh, it starts and ends with Dante. [SCENE_BREAK] Nathan: So, how long you been in Port Charles? Johnny: I don't really have to answer that. I don't have to answer anything, unless you guys want to take my breakfast order. Jordan: Hey, we have evidence that proves that you're the last person to come in contact with Cadet Spencer. If she's injured, these charges that you're facing are gonna get exponentially worse, so it is in your best interest to let me know where she is so I can recover her safely. You got that? Johnny: II hate to be the one to have to explain the law to the police commissioner, but here goes one more time. Your detective read me my Miranda rights, which say I have the right to remain silent. Also, I have my right to an attorney, and if I can't afford one, the PCPD has to provide one for me free of charge. And since said attorney is nowhere in the building, I ain't talking. Jordan: Okay, can you call, again, to the courthouse and find out where the hell my pro-bono lawyer is? Scott: Oh, hold your horses there, commissioner. I'm here. And who is my client? Johnny: II don't think so. No way in hell. [SCENE_BREAK] Ava: Excuse me. I think Avery dropped one of her toys earlier, I'm wondering if anyone dropped off a little -- Olivia: Stuffed giraffe? Ava: Giraffe. [Laughs] Yeah, thank you very much. That's, actually, it's her favorite. Olivia: Then I'm glad she got it back. You two seemed to enjoy the yoga. Ava: Yeah. Yeah, you, too. You and Leo, especially the shavasana. Olivia: He knows what he likes -- eating and falling asleep on top of me. Dante doesn't know what he missed. Ava: So you didn't do any Mommy-and-me yoga with Dante, huh? Olivia: Are your kidding? My Nonna would have had me committed for even suggesting it. Ava: I didn't -- I didn't do it with Kiki, either. I went back to work pretty much right when she was born, so there was no time for that. Olivia: People always talk about all the bad things about having a baby when you're old... [Leo coos] Olivia: But they never talk about any of the good stuff, do they? No, they don't. And there's a lot of good stuff. I think this little guy is getting the benefit of all the mistakes I made with Dante. Ava: Yeah, I feel the same way. Avery's my chance to get it right. [Leo babbles] Mayor Lomax: Ms. Falconeri? Olivia: Mayor Lomax. Nice to see you. Mayor Lomax: I believe my office contacted you about the luncheon I'm giving for the governor? Olivia: Indeed they did. I have a list of catering menus right here. Uh... you want to go over these right now? Mayor Lomax: Now? Olivia: Well, yeah. Honestly, why not? We could just get some obvious stuff nailed down like the menu and how many attendees you're gonna be expecting. Honestly, the more advanced notice we have, the smoother things tend to go. [Leo squeals] Olivia: Yeah, honey. Mayor Lomax: Uh, what about him? Olivia: My son? He's coming with us. [Leo squeals] [SCENE_BREAK] Paul: Robert Scorpio. It's been years. Robert: Yeah. Certainly longer than I want to remember. Paul: What brings you back to Port Charles? Robert: You know, it seems like only yesterday that you were this lowlife little lackey for the cartel, and here you are -- district attorney. [Sighs] God bless America. Paul: Well, the mayor seems pleased by my performance, but I owe all the credit to Anna. She's doing an excellent job as my special investigator. Robert: No doubt about it. I mean, my ex is nothing if not rabid in the pursuit of justice. Paul: Well, I'm counting on Anna to help me eradicate organized crime in Port Charles. Anna: It's nice to be wanted. It's even nicer to be addressed in the first person. Robert: Darling, you know, I-I can't help but brag when it comes to your accomplishments. Anna: Oh. Paul: You never did say what brings you back, Robert. Robert: Family business. Paul: Mm. Well, given that your family business is the WSB, is there something I should know? In a professional capacity? Anna? Would you care to share? [SCENE_BREAK] Johnny: Unh-unh, no way. This is a blatant conflict of interest. Scott: I cannot represent someone I know is guilty. Johnny: He abused the power of his office to frame me for a crime I didn't commit. Scott: He obstructed justice in the death of my son. Johnny: Your son was a whack-job who attacked Lulu. Scott: You goaded him until he snapped. Jordan: Enough! Mr. Baldwin... are you the legal pro-bono representative today? Scott: Yes. Jordan: And are you willing to answer questions without the benefit of council? Johnny: No, but I-- Jordan: Or can you afford to pay for your own lawyer? Johnny: I will take the public defender, please. Jordan: There is none available. You get the court designated, so... Johnny: Forget it. Him? Scott: No. No, no. Maxie: Wait. Where did Dante go? André: Uh, he and a uniformed officer left about five minutes ago. Maxie: [Sighs] Why didn't he say anything? Nathan: So, what do you think, Commish? If he refuses counsel, we can throw him in lock up. Scott: God, the sooner the better. He belongs in a cage. Jordan: Mr. Baldwin, the department will take into consideration your reservations about the defendant. Mr. Zacchara... this is your last chance to cooperate with us or we're gonna charge you with kidnapping, which is a federal crime. And once the department of justice gets involved [Scoffs] You are gonna be locked up for the rest of your natural born life, so... what's it gonna be? Johnny: Fine. I'll answer anything you want to know. Nathan: Where have you been hiding in Port Charles? Who's been helping you? Scott: Don't answer that. [SCENE_BREAK] Lulu: I told you. I was driving, I saw the flames from the road, and I went to investigate. Valerie: Why were you this far out on the 51? Where were you going? Lulu: What? Nowhere, okay? I-I was driving to clear my head. Valerie: Oh, and you just so happened to take the road into a state forest? Lulu: No! Valerie: We're at least five miles from the exit. There's no way those flames could've been visible from that distance. Lulu: You're wrong. Valerie: You're lying. You and Zacchara were working together from the beginning! When he showed up to help me fix my car... he probably sabotaged me in the first place. Lulu: That is insane. Valerie: [Chuckles] And then when he "bumped into me" in the park and told me some lame story about getting weepy over a Christmas concert, and then he asked me to change a $50 -- what was that about? Lulu: I don't know what you're talking about. Valerie: Oh, and then he asked me for a ride and I finally, finally realized that he was a wanted fugitive. He took me all the way out here, he tied me up, and then he just left me. I don't know this man, Lulu. He has no reason to come after me. You have to be the reason. Why did you point him at me? What was he supposed to do? Lulu: Nothing, okay? You've got this all wrong. Valerie: Did you want him to kill me? Is that it? You wanted me dead? Lulu: No! I just wanted you to get the hell away from my husband! Valerie: [Scoffs] [SCENE_BREAK] Anna: Robert and I have a lot more in common than just the WSB. Robert: W-weren't you in town for our second wedding? Paul: [Sniffs] Anna: Apart from just being ex-spouses, we share a daughter and a granddaughter. Robert: Mm-hmm. Paul: Yes, the lovely Emma. Anna: Yeah. Paul: As delighted I was to make her acquaintance, I still can't get my head around the fact that a vital, lovely, youthful woman like yourself is a grandmother. Anna: [Laughs] Well, that's a fact that I'm very proud of, actually. Robert: Oh, w-w-we both are. I mean, as a team, we are absolutely matchless. I mean, all you have to do is look at our daughter, granddaughter... Anna: So when he says he's here for family business, you can rest assured it's in the domestic sense. Paul: Quality time between exes. Mm. Well, how lucky for both of you. Tracy and I can barely manage a civil conversation. Anna, I hope your ears were burning. Anna: Should they have been? Paul: Well, I was just telling the mayor what an excellent job you're doing in the organized crime investigation. Anna: What can I say? You inspire me. Paul: Well, I can only hope to continue to do so. Robert, it's good to see you. Robert: Good to be seen. Well, that was interesting. Anna: What were you doing? Robert: Find me a nice, quiet place where we can't be overheard, and I'll tell you. [SCENE_BREAK] Mayor Lomax: We'll go with the petite fillet, the spinach crêpes, and anyone vegan who comes to the lunch will just have to make do. [Leo coos] Olivia: Okay. Uh, then I would recommend starting, I think, with the burrata crostini... and we have a couple of nice salads to start, like the field greens. [Leo cries] Olivia: It's okay, sweetie. Uh, field greens, uh, with goat cheese and... Mayor Lomax: Uh, what are you doing? Olivia: A raspberry vinaigrette. Mayor Lomax: What are you doing? Olivia: We're going over menu options, aren't we? Mayor Lomax: No, not the menu -- you. What do you think you're doing right this minute? Olivia: I'm trying to feed my son. Mayor Lomax: You're breast feeding? Here? Now? Olivia: Do you have a problem with that, Madame Mayor? [SCENE_BREAK] Paul: "A little quality time between exes" -- that smug little kangaroo- chasing son of a bitch. Two decades later and he still thinks he walks on water. [Knock on door] Paul: [Sighs] Yes? Ms. Jerome. Ava: Mr. District Attorney... I have something for you. [SCENE_BREAK] Jordan: How long you been in Port Charles? Johnny: Uh, who keeps track of dates, really? Nathan: The picture of you and Cadet Spencer in the park establishes that you were here prior to Christmas. Now, you couldn't have stayed out of sight all this time without help. Johnny: I'm very resourceful. Jordan: If you decline to answer, we're gonna start canvassing all your prior connections. That's everyone that you had dealings with when you lived in Port Charles before you got convicted -- friends, girlfriends, business associates. If you want to spare any of these people needless interrogation, you need to speak up. Scott: Say nothing, you criminal. Johnny: Uh, does that include Maxie? Nathan: Excuse me? Johnny: Well, we did have a prior connection. I don't want her to have to answer any questions, even though she did turn me in. Maxie: Yeah, I did. Johnny: I have to admit -- I wasn't expecting that. Maxie: Okay, Johnny. You had plenty of chances to save yourself, and you didn't take any of them. I can't be the one to save you. I had to be honest with Nathan -- I love him. Johnny: I respect that. Scott: Well, now that there's all this respect going around, you need to shut up. Jordan: Look, Ms. Jones is not the only one of your former associates that we'll need to question... unless you tell us who helped you. Johnny: No one helped me. Well, not voluntarily, anyway. Nathan: So you're saying you forced someone to cooperate with you. Scott: I told you to hush up. Johnny: I threatened Lulu Spencer -- excuse me, Lulu Falconeri -- into giving me a place to stay. [SCENE_BREAK] Lulu: I have gone my entire life not knowing that you exist, and then suddenly you're everywhere. Valerie: Oh, I'm so sorry my mother's death inconvenienced you. Lulu: You know what? I tried to reach out, okay? I welcomed you. Valerie: Oh, that is a lie and you know it. You never welcomed me. You pushed me away every chance you got. Lulu: And you paid me back by seducing my husband! Valerie: Dante and I slept together because you lied! Lulu: [Laughs] Valerie: Just like you demanded a separation. Lulu: You know what? You can keep trying to make this my fault. Valerie: What? You mean the mess that is your marriage? No, that was a three- way train wreck -- you, me, Dante. But what happened last night, when I was kidnapped, tied up, and almost burned to death? That was all your fault, Lulu! Lulu: You stole my husband! Valerie: You used Johnny Zacchara as a tool! Lulu: No, you've destroyed my family! Destroyed it! Valerie: You made me a target for a wanted fugitive! Lulu: Well, I went back into that cabin and I dragged you out of it. Valerie: Yeah, because probably because you knew you were gonna get caught and you didn't want to face a murder wrap! Lulu: No, I never wanted you dead, okay? I just wanted you to go back to Pennsylvania. Valerie: [Scoffs] Lulu: Or just anywhere! Go anywhere away from me and my husband. Valerie: [Scoffs] Wow. You are so stupid. You had everything you ever wanted in the palm of your hands, and you still do. Lulu: What are you talking about? Valerie: God, you don't even see it. You did all this to yourself. You self- centered, overly dramatic, stupid-ass, bitch! [Slaps Lulu] Lulu: Ugh! Oh! [Slaps Valerie] Valerie: Ungh! Lulu: Oh, you home-wrecking slut! You lied to me! Valerie: Oh, we'll see how you do fighting your own battles, Princess! Lulu: Screw you! Valerie: I'm gonna kill you! Dante: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Lulu: Ugh! Dante: What the hell is going on here? What happened out here? Valerie: Your wife tried to kill me. Lulu: Valerie assaulted me! I was defending myself. Valerie: Oh, God. I'm not talking about this. We were fighting. It was mutual. I'm talking about last night. Dante, do you have any idea what Lulu's done? Lulu: Okay, Valerie doesn't know what she's talking about. She keeps making all these accusations, but she can't prove a damn thing. Valerie: Oh, you give yourself way too much credit, Lulu. You probably left a trail of evidence. Lulu: Okay, I can explain. I just have to tell you what happened. Dante: Don't talk. Lulu: But I just nee-- I just need -- Dante: No, no, no. No, no, no. No, no. Do not talk. Do not say another word. You will get a chance to make a statement, okay? Much later. Lulu: Okay. Dante: Right now, I want to hear from Valerie. Lulu: Okay, but just let me tell you -- Dante: I said shut up! Tell me what happened. Valerie: I was befriended by a man who turned out to be the fugitive Johnny Zacchara. Dante: When did you meet him? Valerie: He helped me when my car broke down, and then I bumped into him at the park right before Christmas. In hindsight, I can see he was setting me up. He asked me for a ride last night. I have a police scanner in my car, and when the BOLO came in, I recognized his description. When he realized I was on to him, he took me all the way to that cabin, tied me up, made a phone call to an unidentified person, and then took off with my car. I knocked over a candle trying to break free, and then the fire started spreading. I thought I was going to die. Lulu came in, took me out, and then she lost her keys and her phone so we spent the night in her car. [Lulu scoffs] Officer: Excuse me, Detective, uh, you gonna call this in? Dante: We got possible exposure and smoke inhalation. Two passengers. Get a CSU up here to collect evidence. Officer: Yes, sir. Lulu: [Scoffs] Valerie already told you what happened. Dante: It's a crime scene, Lulu. Got a couple blankets in the car. I'll be right back. [SCENE_BREAK] Jordan: So, you admit to threatening Lulu Falconeri to secure cooperation? Scott: You don't have to answer that, or any questions, really. Johnny: I told Lulu if she didn't help me out, people she cared about would be hurt. I'd like to say I didn't mean that. Nathan: Did you? Johnny: I would never hurt a little boy or anybody weak or vulnerable, but there are people Lulu cares about who definitely deserve what I could dish out. Jordan: Are you referring to her husband, Detective Falconeri? Scott: I-I don't think you want to admit to threatening a cop. Johnny: My lawyer's telling me not to answer that. Jordan: Okay. Let's -- let's take it back to Cadet Spencer. Why'd you target her? Johnny: I didn't at first. I, you know, her car was broken down. I used to be a mechanic, so I helped her. When I saw her again, I recognized an opportunity. Jordan: For what? Johnny: To have a rookie cop in my pocket. It's worked for me before, and I thought it would work this time, but Valerie, she -- she wasn't having it. So I left her someplace safe. Jordan: Where is Valerie Spencer right now? Johnny: Like I said, I left her someplace safe. Figure out the rest. Jordan: You know, if you have any prayer for a plea bargain, you want to help us. Johnny: A plea bargain? What plea bargain? I didn't hurt anybody. I sure as hell didn't kill anyone. [Beeping] Scott: Hallelujah. There's good news. Nathan: It's Dante. He found Lulu and Valerie. They're fine. He's having them sent to GH to get checked out. Maxie: I'm gonna go there right now. Johnny: Like I said, Valerie's unhurt. Now, what's the next step? Legally speaking. Scott: [Sighs] You're pretty much gonna fry. [SCENE_BREAK] Anna: So, you see what I'm up against, don't you? Paul is entrenched with the bureaucracy of the city, and he's watching every move I make. Robert: Yeah, well you use that to your advantage. Anna: Okay. How do you suggest I do that? Robert: [Sighs] You're not gonna make me spell this out, are you? Anna: Yes. I don't know what you're saying. Robert: Well, he -- he's not watching you solely because he doesn't trust you. Anna: Okay. Robert: Well, he doesn't trust you. But he -- he has another reason. Anna: Yes, he is an arrogant jackass who likes to watch me jump through hoops. Robert: Anna, he has the hots for you. Anna: What? Robert: [Sighs] Y-yeah, yeah. Look, he looks upon me as a threat. He wants you for himself. Don't you understand? This is your way in. This is your way to bring that bastard down. [SCENE_BREAK] Paul: Well, I'm not sure what you're doing here, 'cause we agreed we wouldn't meet in my hotel room. Ava: Oh, well, I'm a respectable art dealer making a delivery to a client, and given the nature of this particular piece, I thought it best to make the exchange in private. Paul: And why is that? Ava: Judge for yourself. Sensual, isn't it? Paul: Quite. Ava: The lines, the composition, the way the subject demands the viewer's attention. Paul: It's almost impossible to look away. Ava: So, I take it you're pleased with how I invested the proceeds from Raj's first shipment. Paul: Raj's first shipment. Yes. You've more than justified my faith in you. Ava: Well, I'll leave you to it then... ...unless you'd like me to stay. Paul: Suit yourself. [SCENE_BREAK] Mayor Lomax: Ms. Falconeri, you simply can't expose yourself in the middle of a meeting with a public official. Olivia: I am trying to feed my son. It's perfectly natural. Mayor Lomax: And like other perfectly natural functions, this should be done in private. Olivia: Okay, okay. Here's the deal, mayor. "A" -- I'm half-owner of this restaurant, and, as such, I do pretty much anything I want here. And "B" -- regardless of the location, if my son is hungry, you better believe I'm gonna open up my shirt, I'm gonna take out my breast, and I'm gonna feed him, so let's just roll it back. Forget you had the little hissy fit about me trying to nourish my son. Let's look at this menu, get this meeting over with, and we can both get on with our lives. Mayor Lomax: If you don't stop this immediately, I will call my security over, they will call the police, and we will have you arrested for public indecency. Olivia: I would just like to see you try it. Breast feeding in public is not illegal and is sure as hell isn't indecent. Mayor Lomax: If you want to bask in the glories of motherhood in the privacy of your own home, knock yourself out, but just because you're a nursing mother -- this does not entitle you to make everyone around you uncomfortable while you get half-naked to feed your baby. Olivia: And based on the way you're overreacting here, I'm gonna guess that you haven't been half-naked in a dog's age, and maybe that's your first problem. [SCENE_BREAK] Ava: It is beautiful, isn't it? I've always wanted to acquire a piece by that artist. Paul: It's an excellent way to hide the proceeds from our deal with Raj in plain sight... Ava: [Inhales deeply] Paul: ...Or in the privacy of my hotel room, as the case may be. Ava: [Sighs] You know... there's a lot more where that came from. Paul: Are you referring to art... money... or sex? [Laughs] [SCENE_BREAK] Anna: A honey pot? Robert: He's a guy. He's only thinking with one part of his body. I -- Anna: They will have to be wearing overcoats in hell before I will ever seduce Paul Hornsby. Robert: Who said anything about seduction? Did I use the "S" word? No. You've got to flirt with this man a little bit. He wants to impress you. Stands to reason he's gonna admit to something incriminating. Anna: You don't think he's gonna be the slightest bit suspicious if I suddenly start warming towards him? Look, he might be a slime ball, but no one ever said he was stupid. Robert: [Scoffs] Come on. You already said he was arrogant. Anna: Mm-hmm. Robert: And you're a hot piece of arm candy. Anna: Thank you. Robert: Anna, look. You're the smartest, strongest, probably the most beautiful woman he's ever met. Anna: You don't think you're a trifle biased? Robert: No. You're an amazing woman. This guy's not fit to shine your shoes, but he doesn't know that. He actually thinks he's got a shot with you. Anna: I'm supposed to let him think that? Meanwhile, Carlos Rivera -- the one man that can testify that Jerome ordered Duke's murder -- he gets further and further away. Robert: This is your lucky day. 'Cause, you see, y-your ex-husband happens to be brilliant in the field of intelligence, and he just happens to be in town. You worry about Hornsby. I'll take care of Carlos. Anna: All right. So how does my brilliant ex plan on doing that? Robert: Brought in a consultant. The guy is gonna give us some insights into the motives of Carlos and Sabrina, and perhaps where they've gone. [SCENE_BREAK] André: Impressive work, Commissioner. Jordan: Thank you. I just hope Zacchara's confession holds. I mean, this is the kind of situation that's not gonna hold up to much scrutiny. André: Nah. If anyone can tie it off, my money's on you. Jordan: That's, uh, a lot of faith based on one date. André: Excuse me? Two dates. Jordan: Right. [Chuckles] Two dates, one no-show. André: Mm-hmm. Jordan: Again, I am really sorry. I apologize. I... I just was so worried about that missing cadet and I guess... I guess it made me a little crazy. Maybe I'm the one that needs some therapy. André: Yeah, but not with me. Sorry, I can't consider taking you on as a patient. I'm trying to get us to this third date already. Jordan: [Laughs] Yeah, me, too. André: Well... I've got an appointment to get to. I'll text you. Jordan: Okay. André: Again, congratulations on closing the case. Jordan: Thank you. Hey, André? That power statue that you gave me... I think it's working. André: Seems to be. [SCENE_BREAK] Nurse: The attending wants you to have a chest X-ray. Valerie: I'm sure I'm fine. Nurse: I'm sure you are, but if you could just step outside, the orderly will take you to Radiology. Dante: You should listen to the doctors. Valerie: Will do. Better to be sure, right? Lulu: You're furious, and I get it, but if you could just hear me out, I can explain. Dante: No, you can't explain what's happened to us, Lulu. Not any more. [SCENE_BREAK] Eva: So I guess the answer is "all three." Paul: What was the question again? Ava: Art, sex, and money -- the benefits of our relationship. Paul: Speaking of art, start making inquiries into some high-value pieces where we can shelter a substantial influx of cash. Ava: How substantial? Paul: The last transaction pales in comparison. Ava: [Breathes deeply] That sounds like a lot of money -- a lot of merchandise. Who exactly is buying all of these guns? Paul: It's better if you don't know. You may need some deniability down the line. [SCENE_BREAK] Anna: Well, I hope this associate of yours is discrete. Robert: Well, if the WSB can trust him, you can, too. Anna: No! There have been some very questionable people working at the bureau recently. Robert: Look, the guy's not an agent. He's a consultant. He works with the WSB, the FBI, the NSA -- the whole alphabet! He's the best at what he does. Anna: Guess I'm gonna have to trust you on this one. Robert: Yeah, I guess you are. I'm not being difficult, Robert, but I-I feel that this is my last chance to get justice for duke. You will. I have no doubt. [Doorbell chimes] Anna: Oh, God. Who's that? Robert: That'd be my man! Anna: You told him to come here?! Robert: Well, yeah. You want discretion, right? Anna: How is this discrete? I live here. Robert: Well, don't tip your hat! Anna: This is my house. Robert: Hey -- André: Hello, Anna. Anna: André? [SCENE_BREAK] Mayor Lomax: You do realize that you're not only refusing to observe common decency, you're insulting a public official. Olivia: You are the only one that is creating a scene here. What is up with that? It's so bizarre. It's always the women who object. Mayor Lomax: It's because women are more sensitive -- many of them are mothers with children... Olivia: [Scoffs] Mayor Lomax: ...Young children. If a young child came in here and observed this, what would you do? Olivia: What would I do? I would show the child exactly what I was doing so the child didn't grow up thinking that breast feeding was somehow abnormal. Mayor Lomax: I think you're getting a little aggressive. You want to see aggressive? My child is hungry and he hasn't eaten because you can't wrap your tiny mind around the concept that any woman breast feeding a child is exercising their right as a woman, as a mother, and as a citizen of this great state of New York. Security: You're gonna have to calm down ma'am. Olivia: Who the hell are you tell me how to act? Security: Security, ma'am. You're gonna have to be coming with me. [SCENE_BREAK] Johnny: Hey, Baldwin. Thanks. Scott: Yeah, don't mention it. Johnny: I won't. Scott: They'll be shipping you back to Pentonville soon, so enjoy the chipped beef downstairs. That was fun. Jordan: Yeah, it's not gonna be any fun for one of my detectives once the whole story comes out. [SCENE_BREAK] Lulu: I'm not talking about us, I-I'm trying to explain -- Dante: I'm talking about us! I made a huge mistake, Lulu. I mean, a colossal failure, and I destroyed half of us, and you just completely obliterated the other half. Maxie: Lulu, they told me you were -- Lulu: I just want to try and tell you what happened. Dante: I know what happened. I know what happened. I just got off the phone with Nathan. He told me all about it. Your good pal Johnny -- he went to bat for you, so don't worry, okay? I hate that son of a bitch, but apparently he's got a shred of integrity, which is more than I can say for you. I'm gonna go check on Valerie. Lulu: Oh, my God. What did I do? [Voice breaking] What did I do, Maxie? [NEXT_ON] Jason (to Sam): Does someone have a personal vendetta against me? Kevin (to Elizabeth): He's not the only one I'm worried about. Nina (to Franco): He's gonna eat his words. André (to Anna): Today's your lucky day. Sabrina (to Carlos): Felix said that Anna Devane is looking for me. Olivia (to Julian): Would it be possible for you to take the baby for the day? I have an emergency.
