He knows he's the prime suspect of a murder he didn't commit and he wants to find the killer before he's locked away for the crime, and Franco (Roger Howarth) will possibly get closer to figuring out the truth as he heads to the bar Tom was last seen in on General Hospital.  

Franco is asking the bartender who Tom had been around that night, and the bartender has confirmed Tom spoke to a woman-but hasn't revealed her identity, and Franco knows that he is hiding more than he's revealed.

"You know who the woman is," he says in a preview clip for the Thursday, Jan, 5 episode.

Meanwhile, Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn), who has flashed to seeing Tom at the bar the night of his death, has also arrived and is hiding in the background, wary of Franco's questioning since she herself isn't entirely sure of what happened the night Tom died-but after Franco leaves, she will ask the bartender herself if he knows something that she should be aware of-and she will be shocked when he alludes that she may have played a bigger role in Tom's death than she realizes.

"We both know more than we're saying about that night Tom was murdered," the bartender says in the clip.

And as Alexis tries to find out if she had some responsibility in the crime, Franco will become suspicious of her being at the bar, as well as her somewhat shifty behavior, and may start looking deeper into secrets she could be hiding-and may stumble upon the truth about who Tom spoke to the night he died, and who may have killed him.

General Hospital airs Monday-Friday at 3 p.m. on ABC.
