What, I’m not supposed to be standing next to my own car?
Jason: If you’re going to shoot me, you better do it soon. You never know when a witness might show up.
Claudia: You don’t think I have the guts?
Jason: Killing me does nothing to protect your brother.
Claudia: Only one way to find that out.
Claudia: What are you doing at my car? And why do you think Johnny killed Logan?
Jason: There’s video footage of this car right here coming and going from Nikolas Cassadine’s clinic right around the time the body was dumped.
Claudia: My car? What — that’s not possible.
Jason: You know what? The driver looked like Johnny. Somebody was in the passenger’s seat. Was it you, Claudia?
Claudia: Do you happen to have footage of the license plate?
Jason: Well, that’s funny that you ask because these — these license plates right here have been removed and replaced. You can see the marks right here in the road-grime where they were unfastened. It’s pretty recent.
Claudia: That’s — that’s thin, Jason. If I’m on a jury, I’m not convinced.
Jason: Well, you know what? Evidence is circumstantial, but it all points to Johnny as the killer.
Claudia: Why do you care?
Jason: Because I’m the first one the cops investigated. I have to prove my innocence.
Claudia: You didn’t spend the night in jail, so right now that makes you a lot better off than my brother.
Lucky: Police! Hold it right there. Put your hands in the air.
Harper: A witness saw a vehicle matching this description leave the clinic after Logan Hayes’ body was dumped.
Claudia: Lots of people have this make and model, boys.
Lucky: The victim didn’t work for them. Add to that your brother was arrested for publicly assaulting Logan Hayes.
Harper: We have probable cause to impound this vehicle and have forensics look at it.
Claudia: Wait, you’re not touching my property until my lawyer gets here.
Lucky: You know what? You can call him from the station.
Claudia: You have no reason to arrest me.
Harper: You’re here with a suspect and what could be the means of transport for a murder victim. It’s enough to take you both in for questioning.
Claudia: It’s my car. What, I’m not supposed to be standing next to my own car?
Harper: And what are you doing here, Morgan?
Jason: I got nothing to say without my attorney.
[Harper chuckles]
Harper: You know, some people find you annoying, Morgan. I actually enjoy it when you refuse to cooperate. It means we can take you downtown and hold you for at least 48 hours. Let’s go.
Lucky: You have the right to remain silent.
Mac: Two arrests in one day? Going for a record?
Harper: We went to impound Ms. Zacchara’s vehicle. Morgan was standing next to it. Killed two birds with one stone.
Lucky: Three birds. Ms. Zacchara was there, too.
Claudia: Oh, gee, yeah, imagine me thinking I should be able to get into my own car. I want my phone call.
Mac: Fine. Put them in interrogation one.
Harper: Morgan, you know the way.
Claudia: My phone call.
Mac: Right now, all the lines are busy.
Lucky: You know, I don’t think Jason’s involved with the Zaccharas.
Mac: Maybe not.
Claudia: There’s no need to tell the cops what we were talking about in the garage.
Jason: I don’t talk to cops without my attorney.
Claudia: Thank you.
Jason: I’m not your problem. As soon as the cops run forensics on your car, you and your brother are going to be charged with murder.
Claudia: Johnny and I are not amateurs. The cops aren’t going to find anything in that car. I’ll be home before dinner. What, you think I’m kidding myself?
Jason: The harder you try to cover this up, the worse it’s going to get.
Claudia: What do you suggest?
Jason: Damage control. Get Johnny to cut a deal.
Claudia: It wasn’t John’s fault. Logan Hayes had a screw loose. He flipped out over Lulu. John was just protecting himself. But you know, it would literally be like you trying to claim self-defense. Some people just don’t have that luxury.
Jason: Then you need to get a lawyer.
Claudia: Well, which one would you suggest that I leave my brother’s life with, Ric or Trevor?
Jason: There’s other lawyers out there.
Claudia: Well, could you recommend one for me? I know you were on trial for murder. Look, we’re stuck in here anyway. We have some time. Why don’t you tell me what that was like?
Lucky: As soon as the paperwork is finished, you’re both free to go.
Claudia: Why? What changed?
Lucky: We have Logan Hayes’ killer.
