00:00Marlena, what are you doing back here?
00:08Oh, I guess I haven't had much to eat, lady, and I was craving some of Caroline's chowder.
00:18Well, Ma would love hearing that, but you know, something tells me that's not the real reason they're back.
00:26You're worried about Johnny, aren't you?
00:31Stupid question. How could you not be?
00:35Same as you are.
00:39Do you have some sort of a plan to help him?
00:42Well, I consulted with Carrie earlier. She agrees it would be best if he turned himself in.
00:55It's about damn time. So did you talk to Johnny? Did you confront him about what I remembered?
01:00Yeah. He admitted that he was at the Damir mansion the night that EJ was shot. And that they argued.
01:09So it was his voice that I heard from outside?
01:12Mm-hmm.
01:13Did he have a gun?
01:15He did. And apparently he had every intention of shooting his father.
01:20Oh, my God.
01:21Oh, my God.
01:22Yeah.
01:24So does that mean that he confessed? Is Johnny the one who tried to kill EJ?
01:29No.
01:30No, he maintains that he's innocent.
01:32No word yet from Commissioner Hunter.
01:48Listen, Belle, I know you're upset.
01:52Yeah, why wouldn't I be? When I came to you for advice about Johnny's situation, I didn't think you were going to have him immediately arrested.
02:00We had no choice.
02:01Yes, we did. We could have brought him in for questioning and heard him out first.
02:05Now, what the hell could he have said that could have changed anything? He told Rafe that he aimed a gun at his father the night EJ was shot.
02:17And he also told Rafe that he didn't fire the gun.
02:20Well, you know what? Let's play it out your way, Belle.
02:24You bring Johnny in for questioning. He says, I was there, but I didn't do it. We take him at his word, then we let him walk.
02:32How's that going to look?
02:35Answer me, Belle.
02:37It's going to look like he's getting special treatment from his aunt, the DA, and his mother-in-law, the mayor.
02:44Fat.
02:45Still, don't you think that we're overcompensating by having him immediately arrested?
02:49I mean, we don't even have any physical evidence.
02:53You know the answer to that, Belle.
02:56Yeah.
02:57I also know Johnny's not going to know what hit him.
03:04Hello, EJ.
03:06Johnny.
03:06Commissioner, what can we do for you?
03:08I'm actually here for Johnny.
03:11For me?
03:12I'm sorry, but you are under arrest for the attempted murder of EJ DiMera.
03:16Commissioner, don't do this.
03:20You're making a huge mistake.
03:22Please step aside, Mr. DiMera, and let us do our job.
03:24Dad, it's okay.
03:25No, it's not.
03:26Stop that.
03:27You have no right to arrest him.
03:28What the hell is going on out here?
03:30Chanel, stay back.
03:31Wait, please, explain.
03:33I'm being arrested for attempted murder.
03:36Attempted murder?
03:37Who would you even...
03:38Oh, my God.
03:54Like sand through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.
03:59Johnny should turn himself in.
04:18That's Carrie's advice?
04:19Well, I think that would be the advice of any decent lawyer, because if the police found
04:24out any other way that Johnny held a gun on EJ that night, it would look like he's got
04:30something to hide.
04:34What if he can't prove that he's innocent?
04:36Innocent until proven guilty.
04:38That's the way it works.
04:39We just...
04:40We just gotta put our trust in the system.
04:43It doesn't always work out.
04:44Look at Gabby.
04:48She went to prison twice for crimes she did not commit.
04:53Johnny said he left the gun with EJ and you believe him?
04:57I do.
04:59I've got to say, I'm not sure I do.
05:02And I doubt that the police will either.
05:04Well, I've already told Jada about it.
05:06You did?
05:07Hmm?
05:08So the truth's bound to come out sooner or later.
05:11I wanted to pave the way for Johnny to be able to turn himself in.
05:15With as few repercussions as possible.
05:20I just wish we could have given Johnny a heads up.
05:23EJ too.
05:25So EJ never mentioned anything to you about his son pulling a gun out on him?
05:31No.
05:32No, he's still missing a chunk of time from that night, so I'm guessing he has no idea.
05:36I think this is gonna be a huge shock to him.
05:39And for Chanel.
05:39Well, I wish I could have just given her a heads up too.
05:43But this case is gonna be under so much public scrutiny that everything has to be above board and by the book.
05:51Not just for our own professional reputations, but for Johnny's sake as well.
05:55Yeah.
05:56And if he is eventually found innocent, we don't want people thinking that bias from authorities helped get him off.
06:01That's a pretty big if.
06:05So you think he's guilty?
06:07I'm just saying.
06:09He admitted that he pointed a gun at his father with the intent to kill.
06:15We only have his word that he didn't pull the trigger.
06:18Do you understand the rights I just read to you?
06:27Yep.
06:28Johnny, I don't understand what's going on here.
06:30You didn't shoot your father, did you?
06:32No, I didn't.
06:33I swear.
06:34Roman, not another word.
06:37We'll take you down to the station, and from there we can call your lawyer.
06:39Wait.
06:41As the victim of this crime, my son is innocent.
06:44And if you insist on dragging him down to the station, you can be sure I'll drag you to hell and back.
06:48Are you seriously threatening a police commissioner?
07:00I repeat, my son is innocent, and you will damn well treat him accordingly.
07:06And here I was told that you've become kinder and gentler since you're shooting.
07:11I guess I'm starting to feel more like my old self again.
07:14If you can prove your son's innocence, let's hear it.
07:17I know for certain my son didn't shoot me.
07:21So you finally remembered who did?
07:23No, but I recently remembered my son showing up to the mansion at night with a gun.
07:28We argued, but in the end, Johnny gave me his weapons and left.
07:32That's a conveniently timed story.
07:34I just remembered it earlier today.
07:35Okay, if Johnny gave you the gun, then how come it wasn't found on the scene after your shooting?
07:43Obviously, the real shooter took it with him.
07:46And in theory, the real shooter could have still been Johnny if he doubled back.
07:49No, that's not what happened.
07:51Listen, I know that you're trying to cover for your son.
07:56But you lying is only making it worse for the both of you.
08:00So the only thing I would say to help is find him a good lawyer.
08:03Look, I know it looks bad.
08:23But if Johnny says he's innocent, I believe him.
08:26Then why didn't he come forward?
08:30We only know about any of this because Gabby Hernandez was able to ID the voice and place him at the scene of the crime.
08:38Well, he didn't come forward because he knew his story would sound suspicious.
08:43And now it sounds even more suspicious because he kept it to himself.
08:47Now, well, I desperately want to believe him, too.
08:52I mean, I love Johnny like he was my own son.
08:56But, you know, I was there when he got that call about E.J.'s shooting.
09:01Talk about cold-blooded.
09:03He refused to even go to the hospital to see his own father.
09:08And he said E.J. got what he deserved.
09:11Now, that doesn't sound like a man who handed over his gun to his father and then walked out.
09:16That sounds like a man who very much wanted him dead.
09:26It's done.
09:31Jade has arrested Johnny.
09:33She's bringing him in.
09:34Oh, thanks, Roman.
09:45I'm sorry for the way I fell apart earlier.
09:48Why would you apologize?
09:51I'm glad I could be there for you.
09:53You know that.
09:55And if you think Kate would have a problem with that, she does not.
09:59Her heart goes out to you for all that you've been through.
10:03And also, she knows just how worried we are about our grandson.
10:08Oh, it's from Belle.
10:18Anne?
10:23Johnny's been arrested.
10:30For Johnny's sake, I hope your plan works.
10:32Well, so do I, considering he's innocent.
10:34You really believe that, don't you?
10:38Yeah, I thought I made that clear already.
10:40Yeah, you did.
10:43And I hope your plan works for my sake, too.
10:46Why for your sake?
10:49Because if they bring a case against Johnny and it goes to trial, then I would have to testify.
10:55E.J. already hates me.
10:56Imagine how much more he'll hate me for sending his son to prison.
10:59Unless, E.J. wants Johnny to pay for threatening him.
11:06Uh, yeah, no.
11:07From what Johnny says, E.J.'s willing to forgive and forget.
11:12How unlike the man.
11:15Yeah.
11:19Hey, Jada.
11:20What?
11:24Demo, why didn't you tell me that you were bringing him in so I could be there?
11:29Alright, I'm on my way.
11:31Oh.
11:33What happened?
11:34Johnny has been arrested for attempted murder.
11:37I gotta go.
11:38So please call me as soon as you get this, okay?
11:52Okay.
11:54Lori, uh, I was just leaving a message for your dad.
11:58Everything okay?
11:59Not really.
12:02Mom, what's going on?
12:04Well, I, uh, I guess you'll hear about this soon enough.
12:07Your uncle Johnny was arrested.
12:10The police think he shot his father.
12:13Oh, my God.
12:16Well, is it true?
12:18Did he, did he?
12:20He says he didn't.
12:24I believe him.
12:25I believe him.
12:26Johnny's a really good guy and he's not capable of that kind of violence.
12:29No.
12:30I hope you're right.
12:35Is there anything you can do?
12:37You may just say a prayer for him tonight?
12:48Well, before Johnny gets here, I think it's important to remind ourselves that we mustn't rush to judgment.
12:53That is not our job.
12:54Well, aren't you making a rush to judgment by proclaiming his innocence?
13:01Now, Belle, as much as we both love him and want to protect him, we've got to let justice take its course.
13:08With very little interference.
13:12Which is why...
13:13I know what you're going to say.
13:15You're going to remove me from the case, aren't you?
13:19I'm sorry, Belle.
13:21I have no choice.
13:22Roman, we've got to get down to the station.
13:29Not yet.
13:30Johnny's being processed.
13:32It'll be quite a while before we could see.
13:35Oh.
13:37Right, of course.
13:38What do you think happened?
13:44I can't even imagine that he would have disregarded your advice and turned himself into the police without at least consulting an attorney.
13:52No, I can't imagine that either.
13:54And that's why I'm worried there's something more to this.
13:58Like the police.
14:02Now I have evidence against it.
14:07Chanel, I don't have time to explain.
14:08I need to get to the station.
14:09No, first you need to tell me what is going on.
14:12Okay?
14:12Now, we can either talk about it here, in private, or we can talk about it down at the station.
14:16Where the police may overhear us.
14:17And something tells me the latter isn't a good idea.
14:20Fine.
14:20Quick version.
14:21Not long after I got back from the hospital, I remember Johnny confronting you with a gun.
14:25And I couldn't recall what happened afterwards, but I assumed he was the one who showed me.
14:30Oh, my God.
14:31But Johnny never told me any of this.
14:34Wait, but you told Jada that he backed off.
14:38Were you lying to her?
14:40I don't actually remember Johnny giving me his weapon and leaving.
14:44But that's what Johnny told me right before Jada arrived, and I believe him.
14:49It appears that he and I were talking at cross-purposes for weeks.
14:52Okay, but how do they even know that Johnny was at the estate that night?
15:00You made the mistake of trusting that idiot, Ray Fernandez.
15:02He must have been the one who blabbed to Commissioner Hunter.
15:08Listen, Belle, now, I hope you understand why I have to do this.
15:12Why I have to remove you from the case.
15:14Yes, of course I understand.
15:16Listen, in some ways, I'm actually relieved.
15:18It's not like I was looking forward to prosecuting my own nephew.
15:22So I assume you'll be handing the case over to one of my ADAs?
15:26Yeah, and I want you to stay out of it completely.
15:30Don't ask questions.
15:31Don't provide suggestions.
15:32Don't even touch his file.
15:38Johnny, oh, come on.
15:40Do you think that cuffs were necessary?
15:43By the book, remember?
15:44Look, Johnny, I'm so sorry that this happened.
15:50Yeah, I am too.
15:53This is my fault, Johnny.
15:55I thought Jada could be trusted to handle this, and clearly I made a terrible mistake.
15:59I am so sorry, Johnny.
16:14I thought the Commissioner was going to let you come in on your own.
16:17Rave?
16:17I didn't know she was going to railroad you.
16:19I need you to stay out of this.
16:21Mr. DiMera, Officer Castillo, he'll take you down to booking.
16:24Once you've been processed, you'll have the opportunity to phone your lawyer.
16:27I'm his lawyer.
16:31What?
16:32You had me.
16:37All right, let's go.
16:39Wait, wait, can I please talk to my husband?
16:42I'm sorry, Chanel, we've got to get him booked.
16:43Please, it'll just be for a second.
16:46Please.
16:47Okay, come on.
16:51Hey, Johnny, I know you're innocent.
16:55So just be strong, okay?
16:56Okay.
16:57And I will be, too.
17:00I'll be waiting for you.
17:03I love you.
17:04I love you, too.
17:17And you.
17:19How could you let this happen?
17:20Please empty your pockets and remove any jewelry.
17:26Mama, Mama, you have to do something.
17:52Johnny says he's innocent.
17:53I'm sorry, baby girl, but we had no choice.
17:56We had to arrest him.
17:58We?
17:59You knew this was going to happen?
18:01I'm the one who gave the order.
18:04Oh, my God.
18:05What the hell is wrong with you?
18:07Well, Chanel, you have to understand.
18:09I don't have to understand anything.
18:11I can't, I cannot listen to your excuses.
18:13And I can't even look at you right now.
18:15So when Jada told you about Johnny's confession to Rafe, you went straight to the man.
18:40I did, because I knew I was too close to the case to make the final call.
18:45And it was after I consulted with Paulina that everything just started to snowball.
18:49And listen, EJ, I swear, I had no idea that she was going to insist that Johnny be arrested on the spot.
18:55I'm sorry.
18:56I wish there was something I could do.
18:59There is.
18:59You can make sure the charges are dropped.
19:02What?
19:02I've been recused from the case.
19:04And now you'll be unrecused from it.
19:07EJ, I can't make that happen.
19:09Oh, but I can.
19:10And I will.
19:12How?
19:12You'll see.
19:22Turn profile, please.
19:31How the hell could you do this to Johnny?
19:34What was I supposed to do, Rafe?
19:36Turn a blind eye?
19:37You didn't have to jump to an arrest.
19:39You could have let me bring him in for questioning.
19:42You could have given him the benefit of the doubt.
19:44Okay, that's a lovely idea, Rafe.
19:47But you know damn well that this is a high-profile case.
19:50It is going to be closely scrutinized.
19:53I have no choice but to consult with the DA, and she had to consult with the mayor.
19:56All right, so you're just covering your own ass.
19:58Oh, you are being a huge hypocrite right now.
20:01You told Johnny that you were obligated to tell me about his confession.
20:04So why is there a problem that I'm obligated to tell my superior?
20:07Well, obligations aside, the problem is the three of you made a stupid move.
20:14The wrong move.
20:16Excuse me, but you cannot tell us how to do our job.
20:20Okay?
20:22I know you don't like it.
20:23Hell, I don't like it either.
20:24But this is the way that it has to be.
20:27Okay.
20:27So you were just gunning for a high-profile conviction?
20:32Is that it, huh?
20:34I know you were always obsessed with your case clearance rate.
20:38It's the reason Paulina gave you my job.
20:42Your job?
20:43Mm-hmm.
20:44Well, you know, maybe if you were obsessed with your clearance rates, you'd still have your job.
20:49Oh, wow.
20:50I can't believe you just went there.
20:51Look, I know you're upset, okay?
20:56I understand that.
20:58But I will not apologize for following protocol and carrying out my duties just because you are having a temper tantrum for not getting your way.
21:06So unless you actually have something useful to add, kindly get out of my face so I can get back to my job.
21:13Does Dad know about Uncle Johnny?
21:25Not yet.
21:26I left him a message to call me.
21:29Although I should probably wait to fill him in until we hear more.
21:33Yeah.
21:33Yeah.
21:34I'm sure he's going to be really upset.
21:36Yeah.
21:38You know, it was really nice having Dad in town.
21:40Even if it was for a sad occasion.
21:44Yeah.
21:45It was.
21:47Which reminds me.
21:48Huh.
21:49He mailed this for you.
21:50Oh, great.
21:51He came in today.
21:53Yay.
21:57Hmm.
21:58Yeah, yeah, I guess it's kind of cool.
22:01It's your high school diploma.
22:03Yeah.
22:05Uh, do you want to take a picture with her?
22:07Mom, God, now that is so lame.
22:09Oh, come on.
22:10I only have you in town for the summer, and I want to capture as many memories as possible.
22:17Fine, fine, fine, fine.
22:19This long picture, one.
22:20Okay, yay.
22:21All right.
22:22Hold it up.
22:23Nice and proud.
22:25Oh.
22:25Oh, mi corazón.
22:27Oh, my gosh.
22:30No.
22:30No answer from Brady, either.
22:35I wanted to warn him that Rachel may be called upon to testify in court.
22:40Poor kid.
22:41Just what she doesn't eat, right?
22:43I hope it doesn't come to that.
22:46Yeah.
22:47I mean, as much as all of us are worried about Johnny, there's going to be a whole lot of
22:52other people affected by this as well.
22:54You included.
23:00In all likelihood, you're in possession of the gun that was used to shoot E.J.
23:07What if they arrest you for concealing evidence?
23:12I knew the risk when I kept quiet.
23:14I had to protect Johnny.
23:17I can't lose you, too.
23:19You won't.
23:21I promise.
23:22But we now have to face the facts, and as the saying goes, the jig is up.
23:26It is now time for me to tell the police everything I know.
23:30Someone's got his boxes in a bunch.
23:47Yeah.
23:48Rafe had opinions about how we handled Johnny's arrest.
23:52Oh, yeah.
23:52I'm sure.
23:53I'm sure he did.
23:55And, Jade, I'm sorry.
23:56I know that this is difficult for you on a personal level, as it is for me.
24:00Oh, oh, oh.
24:03Jade, I was furious with me.
24:05Oh, well, once she calms down, I'm sure she'll understand.
24:09It's hard to argue that Johnny's arrest wasn't inevitable.
24:13Hmm.
24:15You know, Jade, we've been over the facts a dozen times.
24:19Now, do you think it's plausible that he didn't do this?
24:23Look, all I know is that he had the means, the motive, and the opportunity.
24:27That's more than enough to take this case to trial.
24:30E.J., whatever you're thinking, you cannot interfere in Johnny's case.
24:38Of course I can.
24:38He's my son, and I'm meant to protect him.
24:41Especially now that I know he's innocent.
24:44Wait, did you think he was guilty before?
24:47A while back, I remembered him walking into the living room with a gun, and I assumed that he shot me.
24:55Yes.
24:56But now I am sure that he didn't do it.
24:58That's why it's imperative that you help him.
25:00My God, E.J., I had no idea you've been agonizing over this all this time.
25:05Well, now you know.
25:07Listen, even if by some miracle you got me put back on the case, I would still have to do my job as a prosecutor.
25:14Yes.
25:14But I can count on you to do an honest job.
25:19You're a good lawyer, and I believe the facts of this case are in Johnny's favor, because bottom line, he's innocent.
25:26I know.
25:27I believe that, too.
25:29I just hope we can prove it.
25:30There you are.
25:35Can I speak to him now?
25:36I need to take him straight to yourself.
25:37But I'm his wife.
25:38It doesn't matter.
25:41They can talk in there.
25:44You heard me.
25:45As the mayor, I gave you an order.
25:48Let her talk to her husband, for God's sake.
26:00Oh, look at you, my beautiful daughter.
26:13I'm so proud of you.
26:15Mom, you're totally embarrassing yourself.
26:17Oh, you're so heartless.
26:19Can I post that one?
26:20God, no.
26:22Mom, my eyes look so weird.
26:24What?
26:25Yes, I'm like squinting because my contacts are bothering me or something.
26:27No, they do not.
26:29Yes, yes, they do.
26:31How about this one?
26:33Yeah, I like that one.
26:36Great, it's perfect.
26:37Okay.
26:40So, um, do you think it's okay if I go to the pub?
26:45I want to check on Great Grandpa.
26:47I'm sure he's probably really upset about this Johnny thing.
26:50It's very sweet of you.
26:53Yeah, of course.
26:54Give everyone my love.
26:58Here you are.
26:59What happened with Johnny?
27:05He's stuck in jail until his bail hearing.
27:08Is there going to be a trial?
27:11Well, if he, uh, bleeds innocent and there's no exculpatory evidence that comes out, then
27:16yeah, there definitely will be.
27:19And I would have to testify.
27:22Great.
27:22So I guess I'll have to face the wrath of E.J.
27:25Jumeirah after all.
27:31Great.
27:31I'm going to go update my mom on Johnny's situation.
27:34Unless you need anything.
27:35No.
27:36No.
27:36It's, uh, all right.
27:38And, uh,
27:39Elle, I'm sorry for getting upset with you, Elle.
27:42It's okay.
27:43Don't worry about it.
27:44Hello, this is E.J.
27:58Demira.
27:59I need to see Judge Grafton immediately.
28:02We'll have him clear his schedule because I'm on my way.
28:04I have an argument I need to present to him.
28:11Chanel.
28:13I did not shoot my father.
28:15You've got to believe me.
28:16Of course I believe you, Johnny.
28:18But why didn't you tell me about any of this?
28:21The threatening E.J. with a gun?
28:23Talking to Wraith?
28:24And why did you lie about where you went that night?
28:28Shame.
28:30Mostly.
28:30Look, I...
28:34I've just been a mess lately.
28:39I know that.
28:40Okay?
28:41And I swear to you,
28:42I was going to come clean.
28:43I was going to tell you everything before I turned myself in.
28:46But...
28:47Nothing went as planned.
28:50And now...
28:52And Chanel got that.
28:53Things are spinning so out of control so fast that I...
28:56I'm afraid I'm about to go down for something that I didn't even do.
28:59No, no, no.
28:59It's going to be okay.
29:01All right?
29:02Wraith and Jada and everyone,
29:04they are all on your side.
29:05Belle, too.
