know what?
166
00:11:09,769 --> 00:11:14,240
With age comes wisdom.
And back aches.
167
00:11:14,306 --> 00:11:17,309
Listen, I--
I know that we're doing
168
00:11:17,376 --> 00:11:20,613
the right thing by--
by just choosing ourselves,
169
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:24,016
but that's also going to
mean time alone.
170
00:11:24,083 --> 00:11:28,754
>> Brooke: Yeah, okay.
Well, speaking of time alone.
171
00:11:28,821 --> 00:11:31,657
>> Taylor: Mm-hm.
>> Brooke: How about we have
172
00:11:31,724 --> 00:11:34,293
a girls' night?
Just bring over popcorn
173
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,595
and whatever else and we'll
just binge watch some shows.
174
00:11:36,662 --> 00:11:38,764
>> Taylor: That sounds
amazing. I am in. Yes.
175
00:11:38,831 --> 00:11:40,566
>> Brooke: Okay.
>> Taylor: I'd love that.
176
00:11:40,633 --> 00:11:43,302
>> Brooke: I know I said
this before, but I am happy
177
00:11:43,369 --> 00:11:47,339
that you came over today.
>> Taylor: I am too.
178
00:11:47,406 --> 00:11:50,910
You know, it's nice to have
you here with me,
179
00:11:50,976 --> 00:11:53,712
on this journey,
and especially everything
180
00:11:53,779 --> 00:11:57,016
that's going on with Sheila,
I think you might be the only
181
00:11:57,083 --> 00:12:01,987
one who understands what
a liability she's been.
182
00:12:02,054 --> 00:12:03,956
>> Brooke: I really wonder
what's going on over there
183
00:12:04,023 --> 00:12:06,692
at the courthouse.
>> Taylor: Oh, I bet it's
184
00:12:06,759 --> 00:12:09,728
a celebration for one side.
With Steffy and Finn's
185
00:12:09,795 --> 00:12:12,531
testimony, this case is
a slam dunk.
186
00:12:12,598 --> 00:12:17,403
>> Brooke: Oh, yes!
>> McMullen: Ms. Forrester.
187
00:12:20,973 --> 00:12:30,182
>> Bill: Come on.
>> Steffy: Your Honor...
188
00:12:42,695 --> 00:12:46,031
You say you're sorry
for hurting us,
189
00:12:46,098 --> 00:12:50,302
you claim to love us,
that we're family.
190
00:12:50,369 --> 00:12:52,671
That's something I try
to wipe from my mind
191
00:12:52,738 --> 00:12:58,611
every single day.
You're not my mother-in-law.
192
00:12:58,677 --> 00:13:02,882
You're not a friend.
You have no idea the pain
193
00:13:02,948 --> 00:13:07,386
you caused me and my family.
You say you respect and
194
00:13:07,453 --> 00:13:11,724
admire my mother.
>> Sheila: And I do, Steffy.
195
00:13:11,790 --> 00:13:15,427
I want Taylor's happiness
and I know you do too.
196
00:13:15,494 --> 00:13:17,229
>> Attorney: Your Honor,
this is highly unorthodox.
197
00:13:17,296 --> 00:13:20,900
>> McMullen: Ms. Forrester,
I am waiting.
198
00:13:25,938 --> 00:13:32,511
>> Steffy: Um...
By being here today,
199
00:13:32,578 --> 00:13:35,915
I was, um...
I was hoping to gain
200
00:13:35,981 --> 00:13:38,817
some closure.
To finally feel that justice
201
00:13:38,884 --> 00:13:41,887
would be served.
I'm still hoping that's
202
00:13:41,954 --> 00:13:45,224
the case.
Whether Sheila is in prison
203
00:13:45,291 --> 00:13:51,230
because of Finn and me or not.
But as long as Sheila is
204
00:13:51,297 --> 00:13:56,302
alive, she will always
haunt us and my memories.
205
00:13:56,368 --> 00:14:00,906
But you will play no part
in my future.
206
00:14:00,973 --> 00:14:05,211
None whatsoever,
whether you pay for your
207
00:14:05,277 --> 00:14:08,981
crimes or not.
No words have the power to erase
208
00:14:09,048 --> 00:14:12,952
what you've done to us.
None.
209
00:14:21,227 --> 00:14:27,499
That's all I have to say.
>> McMullen: That's it?
210
00:14:27,566 --> 00:14:31,370
No testimony, no...
Nothing in regards to the
211
00:14:31,437 --> 00:14:33,405
charges that have been
brought forth on Ms. Carter?
212
00:14:33,472 --> 00:14:36,342
Nothing?
>> Steffy: No. I have nothing
213
00:14:36,408 --> 00:14:41,880
else to say.
I am no longer
214
00:14:41,947 --> 00:14:54,126
pressing charges.
>> Finn: You did
215
00:14:54,193 --> 00:14:57,663
the right thing.
>> Steffy: It's fine.
216
00:14:57,730 --> 00:14:59,898
Our charges aren't the only
ones necessary
217
00:14:59,965 --> 00:15:03,636
to convict her.
We have enough evidence
218
00:15:03,702 --> 00:15:06,672
to put her behind bars
for many years to come.

I'm already looking forwards

00:15:25,491 --> 00:15:27,660

I need to check on a patient.

I'm going to race over
to Steffy and Finn's to

00:15:43,509 --> 00:15:46,578
congratulate them on
their triumph today!
230
00:15:46,645 --> 00:15:48,647
The nightmare of
Sheila Carter is
231
00:15:48,714 --> 00:15:52,918
finally over.

232
00:15:52,985 --> 00:15:56,855
I am so happy for you
and your family. Oh.
233
00:15:56,922 --> 00:16:00,893
>> Taylor: Thank you.
>> McMullen: I just want
234
00:16:00,959 --> 00:16:04,196
to be certain that both
Ms. Forrester and
235
00:16:04,263 --> 00:16:06,532
Dr. Finnegan are choosing
not to testify
236
00:16:06,598 --> 00:16:08,634
and further rescinding
the charges that were previously
237
00:16:08,701 --> 00:16:10,436
brought against Ms. Carter.
Is that correct?
238
00:16:10,502 --> 00:16:12,538
>> Finn: Yes, Your Honor.
>> Steffy: Yes.
239
00:16:12,604 --> 00:16:15,441
But there are other charges
against Sheila.
240
00:16:15,507 --> 00:16:19,111
Major charges.
I'm confident she won't be
241
00:16:19,178 --> 00:16:21,847
a free woman for a very
long time.
242
00:16:21,914 --> 00:16:24,850
>> McMullen: Actually, there's
been some new evidence
243
00:16:24,917 --> 00:16:26,819
that has been brought
to my attention recently.
244
00:16:26,885 --> 00:16:31,023
Some really
compelling evidence.
245
00:16:31,090 --> 00:16:34,626
Ms. Carter was previously
suspected of escaping custody.
246
00:16:34,693 --> 00:16:38,997
However, I have a sworn
affidavit from a former
247
00:16:39,064 --> 00:16:42,167
corrections officer who was
on duty that day,
248
00:16:42,234 --> 00:16:46,638
a Mr. Mike Guthrie.
Mr. Guthrie has stated
249
00:16:46,705 --> 00:16:51,210
that he coerced Ms. Carter
and removed her from her
250
00:16:51,276 --> 00:16:55,381
jail cell against her will.
>> Finn: What?
251
00:16:55,447 --> 00:16:57,416
>> Steffy: Wait, you're
saying that Sheila was
252
00:16:57,483 --> 00:17:01,520
kidnapped by Mike Guthrie?
>> McMullen: That is correct.
253
00:17:01,587 --> 00:17:04,423
>> Finn: With all due respect,
You-- How does someone
254
00:17:04,490 --> 00:17:07,960
get kidnapped out of prison?
>> McMullen: I had the
255
00:17:08,026 --> 00:17:12,331
same question, but there's
indisputable video footage
256
00:17:12,398 --> 00:17:16,568
which corroborates
Mr. Guthrie's story.
257
00:17:16,635 --> 00:17:21,440
So, unfortunately,
this is just a failure of
258
00:17:21,507 --> 00:17:24,109
our penal system.
>> Steffy: What-- what are
259
00:17:24,176 --> 00:17:25,677
you talking about?
I don't understand what
260
00:17:25,744 --> 00:17:27,346
that means.
>> McMullen: Since there
261
00:17:27,413 --> 00:17:29,882
was no further charges
brought forward and both
262
00:17:29,948 --> 00:17:32,684
of you refused to testify,
along with dropping your
263
00:17:32,751 --> 00:17:35,687
own charges, which I will
notify the state about,
264
00:17:35,754 --> 00:17:38,223
I have no other choice
but to release Ms. Carter.
265
00:17:38,290 --> 00:17:40,926
>> Finn: Release?
>> Steffy: You can't do that.
266
00:17:40,993 --> 00:17:43,562
>> McMullen: Case dismissed.
That's it for today.
267
00:17:43,629 --> 00:17:46,031
Please remove Ms. Carter's
handcuffs and escort her
268
00:17:46,098 --> 00:17:47,566
from my chambers.
She's free to go.

This is-- this is wrong.

>> Steffy: She-- Sheila's
271

dangerous, she faked her
own death, she hid from

00:17:53,806 --> 00:17:56,742

She can't be free!
