Alexis: What do you got?

Mac: I didn't call you.

Robin: I'm glad you both are here. Patrick and I found evidence.

Maxie: With help from Jackal, P.I.

Robin: We're here to report a murder.

Claudia: Kristina, what are you doing here, and who is this man?

Kristina: I don't know. I just walked in and he was in here.

Claudia: Does Sonny even know you're here?

Kristina: No, please don't tell Dad.

Mac: Does this have anything to do with why you and Spinelli broke into the mayor's office?

Alexis: Oh, whoa. Don't think you should be having that conversation in front of me.

Spinelli: If I might elaborate.

Mac: I'm going to regret this. Go on, Spinelli.

Spinelli: Oh, okay. The philandering mayor and his sexually obliging secretary were partners in a series of clandestine assignations that culminated in the regrettable injury and subsequent demise --

Mac: Do you think you can finish this before dinnertime?

Spinelli: Okay, there are -- there are mitigating circumstances that make the mayor's involvement increasingly suspect.

Maxie: Like the fact that the mayor fled from the scene of the crime?

Spinelli: Maximista is correct. And newly revealed bank account transactions that are highly suspicious, not to mention the mayor's own surreptitious demeanor, all leading the Jackal to question whether we can trust the verity of any statement made by the maritally-impaired mayor.

Mac: Look, all you're telling me, I think, is that the mayor was sleeping with Brianna Hughes and is trying to cover his guilt. This is old news.

Patrick: Actually, Mac, we went over the autopsy report and this, well, it shows a different version than what the mayor said. Brianna did die from a bump to the head but not just a single bump as we originally thought. Matt is being accused of mishandling the surgery. This points to something different.

Mac: You're trying to protect your brother. And you don't talk in complete sentences. Robin, tell me what's going on.

Claudia: Who the hell are you?

Dominic: Look, lady, I just want to get out of here. I talked the kid into helping me. Can we skip the explanations and just get on with it?

Claudia: No, how about if I call my husband and the guards instead?

Kristina: Don't, please, I'm not supposed to be here.

Claudia: Kristina, your father has to know about this.

Kristina: If my mom and dad find out, I'll be grounded for life.

Claudia: I know, look, that's not really my problem.

Kristina: Please, seriously, just let me sneak out and avoid all the drama.

Claudia: Okay.

Kristina: Thank you so much.

Claudia: I'll walk you out. I'll be back to deal with you.

Kristina: Thanks again for being so cool about this.

Robin: Okay, there's a discrepancy between Mayor Floyd's story and Brianna's injuries. The autopsy suggests that there were two blows to the head, both in the exact same place.

Mac: I'd say that's beyond coincidence.

Robin: Well, we're thinking the second blow was the fatal one.

Maxie: Don't forget about the bank account. Spinelli hacked into Brianna's checking account, and --

Spinelli: Maximista, there's no need to belabor the details of the Jackal's methodology.

Mac: For once, Spinelli and I agree.

Robin: Basically, Mayor Floyd was giving Brianna a lot of money.

Mac: How much?

Robin: $100,000 over the last three months.

Mac: That's quite a sum.

Alexis: Well, it's not unusual for a cheating husband to give money to his girlfriend.

Mac: It's classic. Brianna Hughes was blackmailing Mayor Floyd, and he struck a blow that led to her death. He's trying to make it look like an accident.

Spinelli: The commissioner is only partially correct.

Mac: What do you mean?

Spinelli: Well, Brianna Hughes was undoubtedly murdered, but it was not the philandering mayor himself who sent her to her death.

Alexis: Then who did?

Claudia: Let me call you a cab, okay?

Kristina: It's okay. I'll find my own way home.

Claudia: No, no, I need to ask you a question. Why did you come here when your mother forbid it?

Kristina: I came to see Michael. It shouldn't be such a drama, but it is with my mom.

Claudia: She's pretty strict, huh?

Claudia: Do you think? I'm supposed to be perfect in every way. Responsible citizen, student leader, brilliant achiever. Absolutely nothing can jeopardize my golden future.

Claudia: Sounds like pressure.

Kristina: Of course, everything about my dad is off limits. His house, his business, you, and now, even Michael. Not that dad's tripping over himself to see me, anyhow.

Claudia: I'm going to cover for you this time. But you can't come back here unless he asks you.

Kristina: Trust me. This was way more trouble than it was worth.

Spinelli: The philandering mayor cannot possibly have been the culprit who struck the fatal blow to Brianna Hughes.

Robin: Then who do you suspect?

Spinelli: Well, I have no ultimate suspect at present, but the P.I. handbook expressly states that the first suspect is seldom guilty.

Mac: The P.I. handbook? Look, we've got evidence. Plus, Patrick and Robin's analysis of the autopsy. That's plenty to issue a warrant for the mayor's arrest.

Alexis: Well, I think it would be wise to have S.I.D. look over the evidence first.

Mac: I'm surprised you're not eager to move on this.

Alexis: Well, I just don't want to act prematurely.

Mac: You're not afraid of the political pressure, are you?

Alexis: Brianna Hughes was murdered. Without the second blow to the head, she wouldn't have died. The mayor's been caught in yet another lie, and while that, in itself, does not make him a murderer, it's a start. So I will go to the judge and get the warrant issued immediately.

Michael: Hey, I got your text. Why didn't you leave when Claudia walked you out?

Kristina: I had to make sure you survived Mom's third degree.

Michael: Yeah, Alexis must be great in a courtroom because she did this whole speech about what a wonderful person you are to want to help me out --

Kristina: Well, that part's true.

Michael: Yeah, I can't tell you how grateful I am.

Kristina: What was her closing argument?

Michael: I'm under orders to stay away from you.

Kristina: Great. Mother thinks she's getting her way, and I'll still come visit you anytime you want. Anytime I want.

Michael: Yeah, I'm not exactly sure how long I'm going to be living here. Dad and I just got in the monster of all fights.

Kristina: Not possible. You're Dad's favorite.

Michael: Not since I told him I wanted to learn the business. He told me, when hell freezes over, and it's his way or no way at all.

Kristina: Well, truth is, Dad can't be bothered. Why worry about you getting hurt again when he can send you to some private school and forget about you?

Michael: You don't know Dad as well as I do.

Kristina: Only because I never see him. I probably don't even cross his mind.

Michael: Look, I'm not trying to defend Dad, but Alexis basically laid down the law that he can't see you, right?

Kristina: All my life I've heard Sonny Corinthos gets what he wants. So if Dad really wanted to see me, he'd find a way.

Michael: It's different with his kids. He's trying to keep us safe.

Kristina: I know you admire him, but kids have always been low on Dad's list of priorities. Just wait. He'll end up dumping you off on your mom like he dumped me off on mine.

Alexis: Judge Foster has agreed to hear the petition on Floyd's arrest, so I'm going to go take care of that right now.

Maxie: Well, what about Patrick and Robin? They were in the hotel room after Brianna was knocked unconscious.

Robin: Well, we were called in to give her treatment.

Maxie: Still, they could be named accessories to murder or something.

Mac: Assuming this goes to trial, Robin and Patrick will almost certainly be called to testify.

Robin: But nobody would actually believe we were involved in a cover-up, right?

Mac: We're going to need statements from both of you as to what you witnessed.

Patrick: That's fine. We can go on record with what we know about the autopsy.

Mac: Good. I want this to be air-tight.

Spinelli: Wouldn't the commissioner be a tad precipitous in his rush to close the case?

Mac: I'm doing this by the book, Spinelli.

Spinelli: Well, but if it turns out -- like I certainly suggest that the mayor is not our culprit, then the true murderer slips through the arms of the law, never to be punished for his or her sordid crime.

Mac: Someone get him out of here before I have him arrested for all the hacking he did to get evidence in this case.

Maxie: Come on, Spinelli. Let's go.

Kristina: Hi.

Mac: Hi.

Kristina: Is my mother around?

Robin: She stepped away to get some paperwork, but she should be back if you want to wait.

Robin: Well, that could be the end of the malpractice suit. That second fatal blow to Brianna's head proves that Matt did his job and did not kill her during surgery.

Patrick: Brianna was alive when we brought her to the hospital. Diane can prove that Matt should have been able to save her, and I should've made sure that he did.

Robin: You're being too hard on yourself again -- and Matt.

Patrick: We'll see.

Robin: Come on, cheer up. If it wasn't for us, the mayor would have gotten away with murder.

Patrick: You're pretty proud of your detective skills, aren't you?

Robin: Well, I have to say, it runs in the family.

Patrick: Well, okay, give me a little bit of something. I wasn't a slouch.

Robin: No, you were great following my lead. You're like a Watson to my Holmes.

Patrick: Really?

Mac: Patrick, we're ready to take your statement.

Patrick: To be continued.

Robin: Good luck.

Robin: Hey.

Kristina: Hey. This is so typical of Mom.

Robin: Maybe she's just running late.

Kristina: I'm doing an A.P. summer civics course, and my mom was supposed to walk me through a day on the job. Obviously, she forgot.

Robin: I have to tell you, I spent most of my childhood in this room waiting for my mom, my dad, and Uncle Mac.

Kristina: Didn't it make you crazy?

Robin: On the upside, you get to know how the police really work, and...You learn that Sergeant Hansen always has candy at the top of his desk.

Kristina: Ah, thanks.

Man: Set up quickly. If that tip from city hall is true, this should be good. D.A. Davis, do you know anything about a rumored high profile arrest?

Alexis: No comment.

Mayor Floyd: What's the meaning of all of this? What's going on?

Woman: Mayor Floyd, are you here to speak to D.A. Davis? Can you tell us what this meeting is about?

Mayor Floyd: I'm looking for Commissioner Scorpio. I need to see him immediately.

Man: Commissioner, do you have any comment? Is that a warrant in your hand?

Mac: Garret Floyd, you're under arrest for the murder of Brianna Hughes. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.

Woman: Would you care to comment?

Mayor Floyd: Yes, actually, I would. This is an outrageous farce. I am completely innocent, and there's absolutely no way District Attorney Davis can prosecute me.

Woman: Why is that, Mayor Floyd?

Mayor Floyd: Well, it's because we were lovers.
