00:00Sorry for the delay I got held up in South Pole practice.
00:03Nice day, how was it?
00:06It's interesting.
00:08I ran into ADA Turner.
00:12She thinks she's going to send me to prison.
00:15Little does she know that her star witness against me...
00:23is about to disappear.
00:26I was extremely pleased to receive your invitation to lunch.
00:32And look at this, it's a perfect day for it.
00:35And there's nothing I like more than an intimate meal for...
00:41two.
00:42Are you expecting somebody else?
00:45Oh, yes, I asked my son Mark to join us.
00:48Oh, I hope you don't mind.
00:51No, don't be silly. Why would I mind?
00:53You must be completely exhausted after entertaining my husband all afternoon.
01:00Portia, I don't know what you're implying, but...
01:02I think that you do.
01:03Because I saw you.
01:05I saw you and Curtis by the pool.
01:08Smiling and laughing.
01:10Reminiscing about old times?
01:12Old times?
01:13Did those old times happen to me during your marriage?
01:15You know what, maybe you need to have this conversation with your husband.
01:18Oh, I would, but Curtis, see, he's not the problem.
01:23You are.
01:25Sweetheart, what would lead you to believe that your mom is in any kind of trouble?
01:29Or that Drew had something to do with it?
01:32Remember when Grandpa came to visit?
01:34And we all had dinner together?
01:36Yeah.
01:38Well, Kai overheard you and Mom having an argument.
01:40And you said the only way that she can be safe is if you found the escort woman
01:46and paid her to say that Drew took the ketamine as a party drug.
01:52Kai heard that.
01:53Yes.
01:54On his way back to the kitchen, he told me, so I'm asking you,
01:57if Mom is in any kind of trouble and Drew has something to do with it,
02:02I need to know, especially because Kai is working for Drew.
02:06So, please, Dad, tell me what's going on.
02:13With regard to the reckless and reprehensible accusations
02:18levied against my beloved and honorable nephew,
02:24Congressman Drew...
02:25Drew Cordes.
02:30I can't do it.
02:35Oh, no.
02:36I can't do it.
02:37I have to tell you the truth.
02:39He did take the drugs.
02:40He did plant them in my car.
02:42He is an embarrassment and a disgrace to my family.
02:46Just ask his nephew whose marriage he destroyed.
02:49The congressman should be thrown out of office the same way
02:52his stepmother threw him out of the Quartermain mansion.
02:57Brooklyn, why don't you take your granny home?
03:03She's either having a stroke or sundowning.
03:11I mean it, Carly.
03:13You have to convince Michael to grant Will a visitation with the kids.
03:17It's the only way to stop her from marrying Drew.
03:21You have had plenty of chances to pry your daughter away from Drew,
03:25and nothing worked so far.
03:28So why should this time be any different?
03:30You and Drew are getting married.
03:33Yes.
03:34It's a legal tactic.
03:37It's exactly what we did to get Wiley away from Nell.
03:40You think this will help you win back custody of the kids?
03:42I love Drew,
03:44and I want to spend the rest of my life with him.
03:46I know you're not happy about it,
03:49but like I said,
03:49I want to be completely transparent with you.
03:51Well, then let me be completely transparent with you.
03:54If you marry Drew,
03:55I will make sure that you never see our kids again.
03:58How are the arrangements coming for Natalia?
04:27Well, the house is all set up.
04:29Full team of bodyguards.
04:30Are we ready?
04:31All right.
04:31Well, as soon as she brings over
04:33the incriminating financial records,
04:35we'll get her off, you know, to Belize.
04:40Are you sure that she's not going to double-cross you?
04:42ADA Turner seemed pretty confident,
04:45but I have a feeling that Natalia,
04:49she'll follow through.
04:51Okay.
04:52Well, I have eyes on her just in case.
04:55Can't be too careful.
04:57I do have one concern.
05:00Let's hear it.
05:01What if Natalia told
05:03Sidwell everything that she knows?
05:07What if she already has?
05:11I hope I'm not interrupting
05:12any important deception business.
05:15Uh, no, actually not at all.
05:17Your father was showing me photos
05:19of his beautiful home in Dubai.
05:22His true pride and joy.
05:24My son swears that I love this house
05:27more than I love him.
05:28Let's just say it's pretty close.
05:30Though, I have to admit,
05:32it is a pretty magnificent home.
05:34Yes, it really is.
05:35Oh, please, give me a heads up.
05:37You know, if you ever decide to sell
05:38so I can run and get my real estate license
05:41in the Emirates.
05:41That'll never happen.
05:44A girl can dream.
05:45Yes.
05:46Well, it's funny you should say that
05:47because I was going to throw
05:49a substantial sale your way,
05:51but unfortunately it fell through.
05:54Oh, no.
05:55Wait, you're not talking about Windermere, are you?
05:58No, no, no, not Windermere.
06:00I'm talking about Sonny's peers.
06:02He was seriously considering
06:04a very generous offer I made,
06:06but ultimately decided not to take it.
06:10I'm sorry to hear about that, Dad.
06:12I know how much you wanted that to happen.
06:14Oh, I tried.
06:15I really tried.
06:18Well, que sera, sera.
06:20Oh, you know, maybe you shouldn't give up yet.
06:27I perhaps could still make it happen.
06:33If Michael can just agree
06:34to a generous visitation schedule,
06:37there's no way that Willow can pass that up,
06:39even if Drew can't go with her.
06:42Okay, see, Drew would still be in the equation.
06:44Not when it comes to the kids,
06:46and that's what matters the most to Willow.
06:49And eventually she will see
06:51that she doesn't need Drew's help
06:53to have those kids in her life.
06:55And that will be the beginning
06:58of the end of their relationship.
07:00You're just dreaming.
07:03Drew's still calling the shots.
07:05And there's no way he's gonna let Willow
07:06agree to an arrangement that doesn't include him.
07:11You may have won custody for now, Michael.
07:15But once Drew and I are married,
07:16Judge Herron will revisit her decision
07:18and at the very least,
07:20I am sure I'll be granted partial custody.
07:21Look, I am not trying to be cruel here, Willow.
07:25But after you melt down the courtroom,
07:27I don't think that's happening.
07:29All right, so it doesn't matter
07:30what Drew is telling you.
07:31I have custody,
07:32which means I have the power in this situation,
07:34and I will exercise every bit of that power
07:36to protect our children.
07:38You don't have to protect Wiley and Amelia for me.
07:40Yes, I do as long as you are with Drew.
07:43Your relationship with him isn't healthy for you,
07:45and it's definitely not healthy for our kids.
07:46Well, that's your opinion.
07:47It's the judge's two!
07:49She said the exact same thing that I did.
07:51Your relationship with Drew
07:53is the reason you lost Wiley and Amelia.
07:55And if you marry him,
07:56you're gonna be stealing your fate.
07:57You'll never get him back.
07:58You're just trying to bully me
08:00into dumping Drew,
08:02and that tells me all I need to know.
08:04You're scared I'll win.
08:05And when I do, Michael,
08:07I will try to have more compassion for you
08:09than you have had for me.
08:12I'm sorry to tell you this, Mr. Gray.
08:15I'm no fool.
08:16And if anybody needs to have their
08:18mental acuity questioned,
08:21it's you for thinking
08:22that I would ever submit
08:24to your ploy
08:25to publicly humiliate me
08:27or read this ridiculous,
08:31overwritten piece of...
08:32Why would Henderson be called?
08:33Please not.
08:34I just want to get you
08:35out of the line of fire
08:35and away from the cameras.
08:38Guy, thank you.
08:39That's quick clinging.
08:40This was most definitely
08:41not a ploy.
08:43Out of the goodness of his heart,
08:45my client gave you the chance
08:47to stay out of prison
08:49by admitting to your appalling crime.
08:51But you have obviously
08:52blown that out of the water
08:54with this gross display
08:56of insolent behavior.
08:58You want to talk about
08:59a gross display?
09:01How about the video
09:03of your client
09:04having sex with his nephew's wife
09:07in her children's nursery
09:09amongst my mother's antique dolls?
09:12That was a gross display.
09:14Let me tell you something.
09:15I don't know, do something?
09:16Should I do something here today
09:17is prove beyond the shadow of a doubt
09:19just how much hostility...
09:21Take it in.
09:21...shadow of a doubt,
09:22just how much hostility
09:24you have
09:25for your nephew,
09:26Congressman Drew Quartermain.
09:29Kane.
09:30Quartermain!
09:30And if there was
09:32any doubt
09:33about your guilt,
09:35there isn't now.
09:36You drugged
09:37the congressman.
09:38I did no such thing.
09:40Your client
09:42got caught
09:43acting like a frat boy
09:45on spring break.
09:47And to cover his ass,
09:48he planted that ketamine
09:50in my car
09:51to frame me.
09:53Actually,
09:53Ms. Quartermain,
09:54you're
09:55dead wrong about that.
09:57Perhaps, you know,
10:09I could get my
10:10old friend
10:12to reconsider your offer.
10:14Are you sure?
10:16Because I did
10:17ask you to speak
10:18to Sonny on this matter
10:19before,
10:20and you declined.
10:21Lucy,
10:21I do not want you
10:23to do anything
10:24that makes you
10:24the slightest bit uncomfortable.
10:26One of the reasons
10:27I declined
10:28is because I knew
10:28Sonny would never,
10:29ever, ever sell,
10:31but circumstances
10:33have changed,
10:34and I'd be happy
10:36to help.
10:37In fact,
10:38I think I'm gonna
10:39go pay him a visit
10:40right now.
10:41Wait, wait,
10:42we haven't even
10:42ordered yet.
10:43Well, that means
10:44you're just gonna
10:44owe me a lunch
10:46another day.
10:46Oh, Lucy,
10:47that would have
10:48happened regardless.
10:49You are an
10:51absolute angel.
10:56I've considered
10:57the possibility
10:58that Natalia
11:00could, you know,
11:01leak information
11:02to Sidwell,
11:03but from what
11:05I've seen,
11:06she can't stand
11:07the man.
11:08I mean,
11:08that could be an act.
11:09Well, animosity
11:10runs deep,
11:11and even if Natalia's
11:12gone,
11:14Sidwell's gonna
11:15make plans
11:16to come
11:16after us,
11:18and he's not
11:19the type of man
11:20that takes
11:21no for an answer.
11:22Okay,
11:27why am I
11:28the problem,
11:28Portia?
11:29Every time
11:29I turn around,
11:31you seem to be
11:32begging for
11:32Curtis's attention.
11:34Excuse me?
11:36I don't beg
11:37for anything.
11:38Oh, right,
11:39right.
11:39You're just
11:39consistently looking
11:40for excuses
11:41to seek out
11:42my husband.
11:42Curtis and I
11:43have business
11:44dealings,
11:45and we're
11:45still family.
11:47He's TJ's
11:47uncle.
11:48Even though
11:49you can't
11:49handle it,
11:50we are friends.
11:51And I am
11:52his wife.
11:53And you're
11:53projecting.
11:54Everything you
11:55just described
11:56is exactly
11:57how you started
11:58chipping away
11:58at my marriage
11:59to Curtis.
12:00So this is
12:00payback?
12:01Oh, gosh,
12:02get a grip.
12:03If you and
12:04Curtis are
12:04having problems,
12:05I'm sorry,
12:06but it's not
12:07on me.
12:08I'm sorry,
12:08who said
12:08that we're
12:09having problems?
12:10Well, I don't
12:10know.
12:11I mean,
12:12something's
12:13not right,
12:14or you wouldn't
12:14be here confronting
12:15me in public
12:16for no reason.
12:17Really?
12:18I just saw
12:19you fawning
12:19all over my
12:20husband.
12:20in public.
12:22Jordan,
12:23it was embarrassing.
12:24And I think
12:25you need to find
12:25some dignity.
12:26Oh, wow.
12:27Well, I mean,
12:28you're the only
12:28one here causing
12:29a scene.
12:30All because
12:31you're feeling
12:32insecure about
12:32your marriage,
12:33but that has
12:33nothing to do
12:35with me.
12:35So be a woman
12:37and step up.
12:38If your marriage
12:39is on the rocks,
12:41well,
12:41I'm guessing
12:42that you only
12:44have yourself
12:45to blame.
12:45okay,
12:56I'll tell you
12:57this much.
12:58Your mother
12:59is in a tough
13:00position,
13:00and there could
13:02be very negative
13:03consequences
13:03if we don't
13:05handle this
13:05just right.
13:06Okay,
13:07then how can
13:08I help?
13:09You can't,
13:10but your mother
13:12and I
13:12are handling it.
13:15How?
13:15By tracking down
13:16that Jacinda woman?
13:18Yeah,
13:19uh-huh,
13:19exactly.
13:20Why,
13:21though?
13:21Are you going
13:22to ask her
13:22to lie about
13:23Drew's drug use
13:24or tell the truth?
13:26Honey,
13:27the less you know,
13:27the better.
13:30Dad,
13:31I understand
13:33that you want
13:33to keep me
13:34away from everything
13:35and protect me,
13:38and I love you
13:39so much for doing
13:40that,
13:40but I think
13:41you're making
13:41a big mistake
13:42because I can help.
13:45Cody,
13:46no,
13:46what are you saying?
13:48I put a roof
13:49over your head,
13:49I gave you a job.
13:51This is how
13:52you repay me?
13:52By taking his life?
13:53Excuse me,
13:54excuse me.
13:54Listen,
13:55Cody,
13:55Mr. Bell,
13:56why don't you
13:57come on up here
13:59and-
14:00What is going on
14:00right now?
14:01I have no idea.
14:02Cody despises Drew.
14:04So why would
14:05he stand up for him?
14:06This is,
14:06uh-
14:07I got nothing.
14:07Mr. Bell,
14:08he is an employee
14:09It looks like
14:09things are turning
14:10around for you.
14:10I'm not so sure
14:11about that.
14:12It just so happens
14:13that Mr. Bell
14:14is the son
14:16of PCPD's
14:17Chief of Detectives
14:18Mac Scorpio.
14:19And as I've
14:20already said,
14:22you work
14:23for Tracy
14:24Quarterman.
14:24Isn't that right?
14:25Yes.
14:26I just want to say,
14:28I want to go on record
14:29as saying how courageous
14:30it is for you
14:30to stand up
14:31and speak out
14:32against your
14:33wealthy
14:33and very powerful
14:34employer.
14:36You're saying
14:36that the congressman
14:39did not plant
14:40that bottle of ketamine
14:41in Ms. Quarterman's car.
14:43Um,
14:45I know that he didn't.
14:47And how do you know that?
14:48Well,
14:49firstly,
14:50I'd like to say
14:51that I'm
14:51I'm not a supporter
14:53of Mr. Kane
14:54at all.
14:55I didn't even vote
14:56for him.
14:57But, uh,
14:57I can't just
14:58stand by
14:59in good conscience
15:00and see him
15:01be accused
15:02of something
15:03that he did not do.
15:04Cody!
15:05No,
15:05I,
15:06don't you dare
15:07obstruct.
15:09Go ahead.
15:10Okay, um,
15:12I'm in charge
15:13of the horses
15:13on the estate
15:14and Hades
15:16is our prize show horse.
15:21Go on.
15:22Okay, so, um,
15:24before the Hampton Classic,
15:25uh,
15:26I had to, uh,
15:27help because Hades
15:28required a minor
15:29medical procedure
15:30and so I had to
15:31get some anesthetic
15:32but my truck
15:33was having trouble
15:34starting so
15:34I borrowed
15:36Ms. Quarterman's
15:37car.
15:38What?
15:39Uh, yes.
15:40Um,
15:41I said I borrowed
15:42the car.
15:43Um,
15:43so in addition
15:44to some supplies
15:45I had to pick up,
15:46uh,
15:47ketamine
15:47for the procedure
15:48and, uh,
15:49I must have left
15:50a vial in Ms. Quarterman's
15:52car which means
15:53that the congressman
15:54did not frame
15:56Ms. Quarterman
15:56and Ms. Quarterman
15:57did not drug
15:58the congressman.
16:00She's innocent.
16:01I appreciate your concern,
16:11okay?
16:12Your mom's in this
16:12situation because of me.
16:14I took a stand
16:15against Drew
16:15and he's been gunning
16:17for me ever since.
16:18he found a way
16:20to get to me
16:21through your mother
16:22and that's disgraceful.
16:24Now if you get involved
16:25he'll target you
16:27and I will not
16:28let that happen.
16:29But there has to be
16:30something that I can do
16:31to help.
16:32You can help.
16:33Both you and Kai
16:34just,
16:35just live your lives,
16:37okay?
16:39That's hard to do
16:40when I am,
16:40when I'm worried
16:41about mom.
16:42your mother
16:44and I
16:44are capable people.
16:46Trust me.
16:47You got this.
16:50Okay.
16:51Okay, fine.
16:53But you have to
16:54promise me
16:54that if things
16:57get worse
16:58you'll tell me.
17:00I promise.
17:01In the meantime
17:02do not
17:04discuss this
17:06with anyone.
17:08Yeah.
17:08Yeah, I won't
17:09I won't say a word
17:10and neither will Kai.
17:10we don't want to do
17:12anything to jeopardize
17:13mom.
17:19What is wrong
17:20with you?
17:23Portia
17:24I think you should
17:25come with me.
17:26I'm warning you.
17:28You better stay
17:29out of my marriage.
17:30Let's go.
17:36You feel better?
17:37Not really, no.
17:39I hate losing
17:40my temper like that.
17:41It's not me.
17:43I need to deal
17:44with this.
17:44I need to deal
17:45with this once
17:45and for all.
17:50And now's my chance.
17:53I deal with Drew.
17:55I just need Michael
17:56to work with me here.
17:58And that's gonna lead
17:59to a lot more
18:00legal wrangling
18:01and I'm just
18:02pretty much done
18:03with that.
18:03at least do it
18:04for our grandchildren.
18:06They need their mother.
18:08They love her.
18:09They need to see her.
18:11And it would go
18:12a long way
18:13towards helping
18:14Willow heal
18:14from the trauma
18:15of losing custody.
18:16Look, I'm not
18:17unsympathetic
18:18to Willow's situation.
18:20But I also
18:20haven't forgotten
18:21what she put
18:22my grandkids through
18:23or their father, Nina.
18:24So that's it?
18:25You're just gonna
18:26walk away
18:28and give up
18:28and let her
18:29marry Drew?
18:30I can't stop her.
18:32Hell, no one can.
18:35You're gonna have
18:35to figure out
18:36another way
18:36to stop your daughter
18:37from marrying Drew.
18:42Man, it is too bad
18:43that Sidwell
18:44isn't legit.
18:46I mean,
18:46selling him to peers
18:47would solve
18:48all of our problems.
18:50But leaving
18:50poor Charles
18:51in his hands
18:52would have been
18:53a huge mistake.
18:54And even though
18:54we didn't find anything
18:55that ties him
18:55to the explosion
18:57at the penthouse,
18:58we didn't find anything
18:59to exonerate him.
18:59there's too much
19:00uncertainty
19:01with this guy.
19:01I wasn't gonna
19:02make a deal with him.
19:03Now we have to
19:04prepare for the blowback.
19:06I'll have everyone
19:07on high alert.
19:09Good afternoon, gentlemen.
19:19Lucy,
19:20come on in.
19:21Thank you very much.
19:24What is that?
19:26Oh,
19:26I was just hoping
19:27that you and I
19:28could have a little
19:29tete-a-tete.
19:31Not that you aren't
19:32invited to stay.
19:33That's fine.
19:33I gotta get going.
19:34I'll be in touch.
19:35Appreciate it.
19:36Okay, Mr. Korinthos,
19:43you and I need to talk
19:44about your
19:45peers.
19:51Hello?
19:52Jason,
19:53it's Nina.
19:55Any chance you can meet me
19:56at the Metro Court?
19:57I have tried
19:59to be compassionate.
20:01No,
20:02you haven't.
20:03You have been
20:04completely unreasonable.
20:06I flew eight hours
20:07to Germany
20:07to try to work
20:08things out with you,
20:09but you refused
20:09to even see me.
20:10Okay,
20:10where are you
20:11getting this from?
20:12No one told me
20:13that you were there.
20:14I spoke to the receptionist.
20:16She went to confer
20:17with you.
20:18When she came back,
20:19she said you didn't
20:20want to see me.
20:21That never happened.
20:23Really?
20:24Because after I insisted,
20:25she said you made it clear
20:27you wanted nothing
20:27to do with me.
20:28Arthur,
20:29there must be
20:29some kind of mistake,
20:30okay?
20:32The mistake was mine
20:33for thinking there was
20:35a possibility
20:36that the two of us
20:37could find an amicable
20:37compromise.
20:38Just think for a second.
20:40It doesn't make any sense.
20:41Why wouldn't I
20:42want to see you?
20:42Because you couldn't
20:43stand that I chose
20:44Drew over you.
20:45And you're still
20:46holding that against me now.
20:48Just admit it.
20:50You are keeping
20:51me from my children
20:52as punishment
20:53for falling in love
20:54with another man.
20:55I would never
20:56use my children
20:57to punish you.
21:00But I will protect them
21:01from their mother's
21:02fiancé,
21:03who is a destructive,
21:05manipulative fraud.
21:06Drew is none
21:07of those things.
21:08And you know
21:09why I fell in love
21:09with him?
21:10Because he respects me
21:12enough to tell me
21:12the truth.
21:13Okay, well then
21:14you're both liars.
21:15Yeah.
21:15He lies to you
21:16and you lie to yourself.
21:17There are no secrets
21:18between us.
21:19He lets me in.
21:20He doesn't treat me
21:21as a possession.
21:22He treats me
21:23as an equal.
21:24Well, if that's
21:25what you think
21:25then, great.
21:28I won't stop you
21:30from living in your
21:31warped,
21:33little fantasy
21:34life with Drew.
21:36But I won't
21:37stop you
21:37from dragging
21:38my kids into it
21:39and that is a promise.
21:40You think so?
21:41I know you're used
21:43to getting your way,
21:44Michael,
21:44but not this time.
21:47I am going
21:49to marry Drew
21:50and I am going
21:52to get my children
21:53back.
21:59Mr. Bell,
22:00why are you lying
22:01for your employer?
22:03I'm not lying.
22:04Miss Quartermain's
22:05innocent.
22:05Well, why didn't
22:06you come forward
22:07before now?
22:09I don't really
22:10watch the news.
22:11There's so much
22:12sadness out there.
22:13I didn't even
22:15realize that I'd
22:15left the ketamine
22:16in Miss Quartermain's
22:18car until it was
22:19time for Hades'
22:19procedure yesterday.
22:21Right.
22:22Yeah, okay.
22:23All right.
22:23Honestly,
22:25full truth,
22:26when I borrowed
22:27Miss Quartermain's
22:28car,
22:29I didn't exactly
22:30ask her,
22:30so I was worried
22:31that she'd be upset
22:32if she found out.
22:34You were right
22:34about that.
22:34You didn't think
22:35she'd be more upset
22:36by facing charges
22:38that could send
22:39her to prison
22:39as a result?
22:41I didn't realize
22:42how far this was
22:42going to go,
22:43and when I found
22:44out what was
22:44happening,
22:44I decided I had
22:46to say something.
22:46How much is
22:48Tracy paying you
22:49to lie?
22:51I have the
22:52receipt right
22:54here.
22:56The ketamine.
22:58Yeah, Dr. Jamie
23:00Thomas, DVM.
23:02It's not DMV.
23:03I looked that up.
23:04It's doctor of
23:05veterinary medicine.
23:06I know what it
23:06means.
23:07That does not
23:07prove a damn
23:08thing, okay?
23:09That could have
23:10been doctored up
23:12this morning.
23:13Oh, I think
23:13we could get
23:14an expert
23:14to prove
23:15that it was
23:15written weeks ago.
23:16No, I could
23:17get an expert.
23:18You give it to me,
23:18I'll have it
23:19authenticated.
23:20Oh, no.
23:20This is going
23:21right to my lawyer.
23:23Just give me...
23:23Oh, no.
23:33Sid will send
23:34you over here?
23:35No.
23:35This was totally
23:37my idea because I
23:40really think you
23:40need to reconsider
23:42his offer.
23:43I know you were
23:44expecting a big
23:44commission.
23:45No, it's not about
23:46a commission.
23:46It's not about me
23:47being a real estate
23:48agent at this point.
23:49It's about me being
23:50your friend and
23:51getting you out of a
23:52very politically
23:53sticky situation.
23:54You know, this whole
23:56big business with
23:57Measure C, it is truly
23:59a mess for you and
24:01Laura.
24:01Well, that was the
24:03only reason I
24:04entertained the offer
24:05in the first place.
24:06Well, then why did
24:07you turn the offer
24:07down?
24:08Because he's a bad
24:09guy.
24:10Okay.
24:11You do realize you
24:12are already in business
24:14with him through
24:15deception.
24:16That was not my
24:16decision.
24:18Have you just
24:18happened to look at
24:19your portfolio lately?
24:22Our stock is soaring
24:23and it would be that
24:26much better if he had
24:28his own peers to
24:29operate his import
24:30business out of and
24:31import all those
24:32valuable minerals.
24:34Minerals and God
24:35knows what else.
24:39Okay.
24:40Let's get down to
24:41brass tacks, shall we?
24:43In the spirit of
24:44cooperation and
24:46friendship, what do I
24:49have to do to make
24:50this happen?
24:52Do you really think
24:53your friend Lucy can
24:54get something to
24:55change his mind?
24:58It's a long shot, but
24:59Lucy Coe can be a very
25:02persuasive person, and I
25:04hope she succeeds so I
25:05don't have to resort to
25:07more drastic measures.
25:09Shut up.
25:11I'm kidding.
25:13I'm kidding.
25:13Come on.
25:15Look, I'm fairly certain
25:16that Sonny Corinto's
25:17won't be an impediment to
25:19you much longer.
25:21Really?
25:21Thank you for coming so
25:23quickly.
25:25I'm assuming this has to
25:26do with Michael and
25:27Willow.
25:28It seems my daughter is
25:30engaged to Drew, and I
25:32need to make sure they
25:33don't make it to the
25:34altar.
25:35I'm not sure how I can
25:36help.
25:37I just pitched a plan to
25:39Carly, hoping that she
25:40would get Michael on board,
25:42but she turned me down.
25:44I'm desperate, Jason, so I'm
25:46turning to you.
25:47Again, I'm not sure what I
25:49can do.
25:51You're close to Michael.
25:52He values your opinion.
25:55That depends.
25:58What's your plan?
26:00I want you to get Michael to
26:02let Willow see the kids
26:03without Drew.
26:05That would give Willow much
26:06less reason to marry Drew,
26:08and maybe that would give me
26:09a little wiggle room to
26:11postpone the wedding, and if
26:13I get real lucky, I can
26:15convince my daughter to dump
26:16Drew altogether.
26:19I mean, it could work.
26:21Does that mean that you'll
26:22talk to Michael?
26:23What's going on here?
26:28I just talked to Nina, and
26:31she told me that Drew and
26:32Willow are getting married.
26:33Yeah, I know.
26:35Willow, she was just here.
26:38In the spirit of transparency,
26:41now she's convinced that
26:42marrying Drew will help her
26:43win back custody of the kids.
26:45I don't think that's going
26:46to happen.
26:48Well, one way or another,
26:49I won't let her.
26:51Okay, look.
26:53Nina thinks that if you
26:55allow Willow visitation
26:56without Drew, you're going
26:58to take away her incentive
26:59to get married.
27:01And then maybe Willow will
27:03eventually be pried away
27:05from Drew, and he'll be
27:06out of the picture for good.
27:08I mean, in the end, that's
27:09what you want, right?
27:10Sorry to keep you waiting.
27:15I was actually at the
27:16MetroCorp pool when you
27:17called.
27:19Oh, I was there today as
27:20well.
27:20We must have just missed
27:21each other.
27:22We didn't.
27:24Because I saw you there
27:25with Jordan.
27:26I think we need to have a
27:28conversation about that.
27:29Okay, but we really need
27:30to discuss something else
27:31first.
27:32It's about Trina.
27:33What's going on with
27:34Trina?
27:35Is everything all right?
27:36Trina knows you're in
27:37trouble, and she knows
27:39it's because of Drew.
27:41Are you all right,
27:42Mr. Gray?
27:43I think I landed on the
27:45keys.
27:46Okay, good problem.
27:47Um, well, I think in
27:49light of Mr. Gray's
27:50injury, it's best if we
27:52brought this press
27:53conference to an end.
27:54Thank you so much for
27:55your time and for your
27:59patience.
27:59Before you go, do you
28:02think that there's a
28:02little something you might
28:04want to say to the good
28:05people of Port Charles?
28:08Yes.
28:09Yes, there is.
28:11Um, it seems that my
28:16dear Aunt Tracy has been
28:18exonerated, and I can't
28:21tell you how relieved I am
28:24to know that she wasn't the
28:26one that drugged me, but
28:27rest assured, I will be
28:29working closely with the
28:32PCPD to find the real
28:34culprit.
28:35Oh, my darling nephew, you're
28:37not going to have to look
28:38very far.
28:40Just look in the mirror.
28:46Hey.
28:48I'm glad you're still here.
28:50You okay?
28:52Well, that was certainly
28:54unexpected, but I'm fine.
28:57Thanks for intervening.
28:59No problem.
29:00I honestly don't know why
29:03Portia flew off the handle
29:04like that.
29:05Really?
29:06Come on, Jordan.
29:07I saw you with Curtis, too.
29:10Are you seriously trying to
29:12say that Portia has nothing
29:13to worry about?
29:16We should have been more
29:17careful.
29:18For Kai to have overheard us
29:19like that?
29:22There's nothing we can do
29:23about it now.
29:24Do you think that he told
29:26Drew what he heard?
29:28Trina said he wouldn't do
29:29that.
29:30And frankly, I have a hard
29:31time believing that Kai could
29:34do anything that would hurt
29:35this family or Trina.
29:37We just have to make sure she
29:39doesn't get tangled up in this
29:40mess.
29:41But does Trina know what Drew
29:43is holding over my head?
29:44Trina has no idea that you
29:46doctored Heather Weber's test
29:49results to keep her behind
29:50bars.
29:50Well, thank God for that.
29:53Because if she did know, she
29:54would probably blame herself
29:56for everything that's going
29:57on right now.
29:58She probably would.
30:00So, we have to make sure she's
30:02not burdened with that by
30:04stopping Drew.
30:05After everything that we've
30:06done, it just, it doesn't even
30:09seem possible.
30:11Well, actually, I have some good
30:14news on that front.
30:17I used to think that there'd
30:18come a day where we'll come to
30:19our senses, but I was wrong.
30:22And so are you and Nina.
30:24Why do you say that?
30:26Now, today, I finally got it.
30:28For whatever reason, and I know
30:30there are many, Willow is
30:31incapable of realizing that her
30:35relationship with Drew is
30:36harming our kids.
30:37She lost custody because of
30:39him.
30:39It doesn't matter who tells her,
30:40you, me, the judge.
30:41Either she can't see it or she
30:43won't.
30:43Ultimately, it doesn't matter.
30:50The impact on my kids is the same.
30:54Okay.
30:56What's the plan?
30:58I'm going to have Diane delay the
30:59visitation hearing as long as
31:00possible.
31:01And once we finally do have a
31:04hearing, we'll get nothing.
31:11Keeping the kids from their
31:12mother, it won't break my heart
31:15every day.
31:17But I can't allow Drew to be a part
31:20of their lives.
31:21I won't do it.
31:23If you hadn't been so focused on
31:27revenge, maybe you would have seen
31:29what she was planning and been
31:31able to stop her before she made
31:34fools of both of you.
31:35Drew, I swear I can still do
31:37damage.
31:37Control with the press.
31:39Shut up.
31:39Just stop already.
31:41You've done enough.
31:43Okay.
31:43Well, in that case, Kai, careful.
31:48Careful.
31:48I'm going to go to the
31:51hospital.
31:53I'll get my, uh, fact
31:54checked.
31:55Yeah, that's fine.
31:56And that retainer, by the way,
31:58that's all you're getting.
32:01It's quite a speech you had up
32:02there.
32:03Just the truth.
32:05And if the police looked into
32:06that ketamine purchase, check
32:08out.
32:09No problem.
32:11You don't have the actual receipt
32:12for that, do you?
32:14Uh, yeah.
32:15Yeah, somewhere.
32:16I mean, I have to check.
32:17I'm not really good at record
32:18keeping.
32:19Why am I not surprised?
32:21That's pretty wild how Cody just
32:25rode into your rescue like that.
32:27Yeah, well, I'm very relieved
32:29that my good name has been
32:30cleared and that I am no longer
32:32You know how much I love you
32:37and our friendship.
32:38You are a very savvy businesswoman.
32:44Savvy enough to know that there are
32:46situations you should not be involved
32:49in.
32:50And this is one of those situations.
32:54then I will back off.
32:59You know me, I had to try.
33:01However, I do think you are judging Sidwell
33:05on his reputation and not on his actions.
33:09Both of us know what that's like.
33:11We do.
33:12And when it comes to Sidwell,
33:15I trust my sources.
33:17And I trust mine.
33:19Thank you for hearing me out.
33:22And I certainly hope
33:24I haven't imposed on our friendship.
33:27No, not at all.
33:28Especially when you bring me such
33:32delicious oranges.
33:43Why are you so confident
33:44that Sonny won't be a problem?
33:46Do you know something?
33:47I've already said as much
33:48as I can say.
33:52Okay.
33:52I understand.
33:55And I hope you're right.
33:56I prefer not to get my hands dirty
33:58to eradicate Sonny Carinthus
34:01from poor Charles.
34:06But
34:06that ends up being my only option.
34:10Well,
34:11so be it.
34:14There is nothing going on
34:16with me and Curtis.
34:17Okay.
34:18But can you say it was
34:19completely innocent?
34:20You know what?
34:21Never mind.
34:22It's not my business anymore.
34:24Isaiah.
34:27I am sorry
34:28that
34:28it didn't work out between us.
34:31Me too.
34:32I can see now
34:33that Sidwell wasn't
34:34the only problem in the way.
34:36Your ex-husband was too.
34:37That's not true.
34:39I think deep down inside
34:40you know what it is.
34:42And if not,
34:46you're for a rude awakening.
34:47I heard from Felicia.
34:49I heard from Felicia.
34:54She's got a lead on Jacinda.
34:57She knows where she is?
34:59Sydney, Australia.
35:00I don't know the exact location yet,
35:02but I should know within 48 hours.
35:04Thank God.
35:06Maybe this nightmare will be over soon.
35:08Yeah.
35:08So once I talk
35:10with Jacinda,
35:12I'll convince her to come back
35:13and then publicly state
35:15that it was Drew
35:16who hired her
35:16for a wild night
35:17of sex and drugs.
35:19He won't have time
35:20to focus on blackmailing you.
35:22He will be too busy
35:23worried about
35:24keeping his career
35:25from completely imploding.
35:27You don't think I got
35:30Cody to lie for me,
35:32do you?
35:33Yeah, I'm not judging.
35:34I thought it was clever.
35:36It was, wasn't it?
35:37It was Michael's idea.
35:39Wow, great.
35:40All of you.
35:42You see,
35:43real quarter mains,
35:46we get things done.
35:48I'm going to have
35:49to call off the wedding
35:50like I can't be the reason
35:52that she loses her kids forever.
35:54And that's really a possibility?
35:57It seems like
35:59everybody's against us.
36:04Congressman,
36:05there's something
36:05you should know.
36:07What is it?
36:08Curtis Ashford
36:09plans to find that escort
36:11to Jacinda
36:11and bring her here
36:12to Port Charles
36:13to tell everyone
36:13that you are knowingly
36:14abusing drugs.
36:16This could be
36:17a huge problem
36:17for you and Willow.
36:18So you need to prepare now
36:20in case he succeeds.
36:22Michael sent you
36:23to intimidate me
36:25and my mom, right?
36:25To stop me
36:26for marrying Drew?
36:28Well, it won't work.
36:30Okay, Willow,
36:31you're making a mistake.
36:31No, you are.
36:32You are wrong
36:33about your brother.
36:34He's a good man
36:34and I can't wait
36:35to be his wife.
36:37And together,
36:37we'll get my kids back.
36:40Okay,
36:40if that's what you want to do.
36:41It is.
36:45It's your choice.
36:46I hate separating the kids
36:54from their mom,
36:55but it's for their own good.
36:58And please tell me
36:59that you understand
36:59where I'm coming from.
37:01I do.
37:04I've been where you are.
37:07I was convinced
37:08that keeping you from AJ
37:10it was the right thing.
37:14Keep in mind,
37:16you didn't thank me
37:18for that decision.
37:21And your kids
37:21might not thank you.
37:24They may very well
37:26resent you for it.
37:28I know.
37:28I've got to do it anyway.
37:36I'll just have to live
37:36with the consequences.
37:40On the next
37:41General Hospital.
37:42To reach Gio,
37:43you and I
37:44are going to have
37:44to work together.
37:45We need to discuss
37:46your payment.
37:46My job already done?
37:47Do you think
37:48I'm leaving we're gone?
37:49If anyone can irritate
37:50that woman,
37:51it's you.
37:52You lying liar.
37:54What's your answer
37:54going to be?
