00:32i haven't been dodging you i've been busy
00:36too busy to explain how the search warrant that you ordered for the quarter main residence had the wrong address

02:23thanks
02:24hey
02:26sorry man it's a bad time
02:27no not at all
02:28i assume you're here because of the aurora article that lulu wrote
02:33man that couldn't have been easy to read
02:36no it's
02:36it's fine
02:37story's legit
02:38you guys had to run it
02:39you know
02:40you're taking an article that points directly at you as the prime suspect in drew's shooting
02:45better than i would
02:47you sure you're not worried about being charged
02:49no
02:49i got an alibi
02:50and i'm confident whoever needs to pay for shooting drew will
02:54hey
02:57i didn't realize you were working this morning
03:00i switched shifts with deanna
03:02something important came up this afternoon and
03:05i can't miss it
03:07is everything okay
03:08i don't know yet
03:10you got a second
03:13for you always
03:16yeah
03:16what's up
03:17why are you going after michael and the press
03:21i take it you read my piece in the port charles press
03:50yeah
03:51i read it
03:52you might as well put up a billboard that said
03:55michael corrento shot drew king
03:58that is not true
04:00i reported the facts
04:02nothing more
04:03i even included the part about the pcpb screwing up and showing up at the court remains with a faulty warrant
04:09that may have led to the loss of a crucial piece of evidence
04:13you made it sound like michael was you know
04:16he's the one who got rid of it
04:18my article didn't say that at all
04:21it said that michael lived there
04:25and that he's a person of interest
04:27is that not true
04:29sonny
04:31we're not the only ones who know that michael had a motive
04:35so do a lot of people
04:38and
04:38truth screwed over
04:41a lot of people who would want him shot
04:45is that on the record
04:47lulu you've always been fair and unbiased
04:52what's changed
04:56you're blaming me
04:59well
05:00i guess that explains this
05:03unnamed sources in the port charles police department suggest the snafu originated with the office of acting district attorney justine turner
05:15are you trying to sandbag me commissioner
05:18i think you sandbag yourself
05:21but you're right
05:22i certainly shouldn't have assumed that you would pay close attention to details when
05:28ordering a search warrant for the shooting of a sitting congressman
05:31it was a typo
05:32okay
05:33a simple human error anyone could have made
05:36you're not infallible either
05:39no
05:40i am not
05:41but i am careful
05:44especially when things are this important
05:47your error really set us back
05:51because it notified all the quarter mains including michael himself that he was our prime suspect
05:58and that we were looking for edward's gun
06:00so it gave them time to dispose of the evidence and cover their tracks
06:03that may be the case
06:06but clearly michael isn't the only suspect you're interested in
06:10and you search warrant you ordered this morning proves it
06:14and then i realized curtis needed saving
06:19well i have every reason to believe that curtis was the one who shot me
06:26he had motive he had opportunity and after yesterday
06:29he all but confirmed that it was him
06:32yeah i don't buy that for a second
06:34well you don't need to
06:35if i tell the police everything that i know they will stop their investigation
06:39from focusing on michael and they will turn that investigation
06:42on curtis
06:43and i don't want them to do that
06:46okay so curtis allegedly shot you
06:49but you don't want him arrested for it
06:51exactly
06:52i'm willing to look past what curtis did to me
06:56as difficult as that will be provided that you use your connections and your influence as former police commissioner and anna's best friend and push for michael's arrest
07:09oh okay so that's why i'm here so you can try and blackmail me into helping you frame someone
07:16i'm just trying to help a friend you help out another friend curtis
07:22i can only hope that you don't really believe the things that you say
07:26that's true that's true no what's true is that michael is already a person of interest in your shooting
07:33yeah that's not good enough i need him arrested for my attempted murder and if you can make that happen i will make sure that curtis stays out of prison
07:44you know i'm curious
07:48what did you promise willow
07:50in exchange for her coming back to you
07:53willow i owe you an apology
07:57i'm sure it threw you for a loop last night when you got home and found michael here waiting for you
08:02it was definitely a surprise
08:04yeah sorry about that
08:06hope things weren't too contentious between you two
08:09no
08:10not at all
08:11talking to michael was
08:13really helpful
08:15it gave me the opportunity to see where he stands and
08:19what he's thinking and
08:21i think he finally understood that when it comes to me being with my kids
08:26there's nothing i want to
08:28and the police showing up at the quarter mains with the wrong address on the warrant
08:33that's wild
08:34i mean that's got to be the most well-known house in port charles
08:39it doesn't sound like anna does it
08:41not even a little bit
08:42surprised me too
08:44part of me likes to think maybe it was a little divine intervention
08:48you know
08:50you never struck me as the spiritual type
08:52no i'm not
08:53but i doubt any of us would have caught it
08:55my grandma's sister ronnie she's the one we picked up on it
08:59i feel like my grandmother she might have brought ronnie into our lives at just the right moment
09:05you may currently have possession of this house but this tea set belong to my mother
09:14my father gave it to her for her 50th birthday and it's not yours to use
09:20it's a very thoughtful gift and it's very beautiful
09:26your father clearly had excellent taste
09:28taste his name was edward you don't get to talk about my father
09:34he's rolling over in his grave because of the scam you're pulling
09:38tracy
09:40is there any chance
09:45that you and i could start over
09:47i mean it's clear to me that you're trying to pick a fight with me
09:51and the tea set is as good a reason as any
09:55and if that's what you want fine
09:57i'm perfectly capable of giving it to you
10:00but i would much much prefer something else
10:04hmm
10:06how about access to the family safe
10:10i would like you to tell me about my sister
10:15not the little girl that i knew
10:18but the woman that you knew
10:20the woman that you loved
10:23tracy please
10:25please tell me about my sister
10:28my job is to be objective and i believe that i was
10:35no matter who you hurt in the process
10:39michael is my family
10:41so are you and i would never
10:46intentionally target either one of you in the press
10:49but the facts are the facts
10:51and no one is asking me how i feel about them
10:54i genuinely hope that michael isn't guilty
11:00i want to believe that he didn't shoot drew
11:04but i can't report that he didn't
11:06until it's proven to be true
11:08when it is i look forward to you reporting
11:15that he's innocent
11:18well if it helps at all when i spoke with michael i definitely got the impression he was being sincere
11:36it sounds like he wants to turn the temperature down between the two of you
11:41and actually find the best solution for the kids
11:44which is the most important thing right
11:46my kids are the only thing that's important to me
11:51and michael's certainly doing what he believes is best for them
11:54i have to do the same
11:57i better get to work
12:00i'll see you later
12:01okay
12:02i'm finally about to cross the finish line
12:12well that must feel great
12:13i know how hard you've been working on the place
12:15well my credit card's been doing most of the work
12:18well still
12:20the timing could be better
12:21cozy cabin
12:23in the fall with the leaves changing
12:26and the chill in the air
12:27you gotta take someone up there for a romantic weekend away
12:31we'll see
12:32wait wait wait wait wait
12:34i was just trying to encourage you to start dating again
12:38but you look like you have someone on your mind
12:41are you seeing someone
12:45i just got your test results
12:54tell me
12:55am i pregnant
12:57yes you are
12:59seven weeks
13:08what does willow have to do with this
13:19don't patronize me
13:21everything you do is about willow
13:24so what is it this time huh
13:25did you promise her that if she came back to you
13:29you'd frame michael so she could get her kids back and he'd go to prison
13:34wow
13:36wow that is low
13:38even for you
13:39so that's a no
13:41you're not gonna help me
13:42it's a hell no
13:44i'm not helping you with your vendettas against michael or curtis
13:47anna and the pcpd will build their case based on the evidence
13:52not your desperate machinations
13:54okay well then you need to remember this moment
13:55because this is the moment that you chose to turn your back on a chance to save curtis
14:01oh you're bluffing
14:02you know i
14:05i don't get it drew
14:07you almost died
14:09and you were lucky to get a second chance at life
14:11it is sad
14:13and pathetic
14:15to see you waste it
14:17and you're absolutely sure about the date
14:25absolutely
14:26the test was conclusive
14:28well oh oh
14:30i'm sorry
14:31look it's a long shot
14:36but we have to do our due diligence and eliminate all potential suspects
14:40and it was nina reeves who originally told us that she and willow tate were together taking a walk in the rain when the congressman was shot right yeah
14:46which is suspicious in itself i mean nina is nothing if not perfectly put together like why would she willingly go for a walk in the rain and ruin that lovely blowout
14:56and the security camera footage shows up and the security camera footage shows nina entering her building at 9 pm and leaving at 10 30 that covers the entire window of the congressman's shooting
15:07which means willow's alibi is a lie
15:11which doesn't make her guilty but does make her unaccounted for yeah but how would willow have gotten her hands on edward quarterman's gun
15:23She used to live at the Quartermain Estate when she was married to Michael.
15:27She knows the grounds very well.
15:29She would be able to get into the main house undetected,
15:33and I would imagine she knows where Edward's gun collection is kept.
15:37It's certainly worth a search.
15:39Yeah.
15:41I'm sorry, I have a meeting. I have to go.
15:45Your warrant's in front of the judge.
15:46It should be issued within the hour.
15:48Great. We'll make sure to double-check the address this time.
15:52You had something with Monica that I never had.
16:02You had a lifetime of memories.
16:07And the bond between the two of you is so clear in all of her letters.
16:12So please, just tell me about Monica. Everything.
16:16You know, what made her laugh the hardest?
16:21Even as a child, she had a spectacular life.
16:24Stop!
16:26I'm under no obligation to tell you anything about Monica.
16:30She chose not to spend her days with you.
16:33She didn't share things with you because she didn't want you to know them.
16:37You had no relationship,
16:40which is why I know in my bones she did not give you this house.
16:44She wouldn't give you a dime,
16:47much less something that meant so much to her.
16:50Well,
16:51I was hoping for Monica's sake and the sake of the family
16:56that you and I could reach some kind of an understanding,
17:01but it appears that's not in the cards.
17:04Do you know that I spent time with Monica
17:09every single day?
17:14Not once.
17:16Did she mention even thinking about you,
17:21much less disinheriting her beloved grandson?
17:26I know what you're doing is a scam.
17:35And I am damn well going to prove it.
17:38to walk and text.
17:51It's fine.
17:52I should also know better than to answer a summons from Drew Kane.
17:56That man is infuriating.
17:58Well, we can agree on that.
18:00Dr. Navarro, hi.
18:02It's good to see you.
18:03Me too.
18:04Well, I will let you get back to your conversation.
18:09I'm sorry for interrupting.
18:17What have you got for me?
18:19Well, hello to you too, Tracy.
18:22I'm great.
18:23Loving the weather we're having.
18:24The kids are wonderful.
18:25I'm sorry.
18:26I'm very preoccupied.
18:28I just had the most annoying conversation.
18:31Webb?
18:32Monica's gutter-snipe sister.
18:36She's taken over our home.
18:37I can't even make myself a cup of tea in peace.
18:40So please tell me you have found something that I can use
18:42to run her out of town and end this nightmare.
18:46I did some digging, like you asked.
18:49Here's everything you need to know about Ronnie Bard.
19:03Morning.
19:05How was your first night in your new house?
19:07Well, the bed was very comfortable.
19:12But I spend most of the time just tossing and turning all night.
19:19I'm having a terrible time trying to wrap my head around this.
19:24And I'm not the only one.
19:25Oh, would you like some tea?
19:31No.
19:31No, thank you, though.
19:32Oh.
19:34And, Ronnie, you shouldn't let Tracy get to you.
19:38It's not just Tracy.
19:40I mean, it's clear that you are the one everyone expected to inherit this house, Monica's house.
19:50Yeah.
19:51Yeah, that's true.
19:52But my grandmother, she always had a way of surprising people.
19:56That's a very generous way of looking at it.
20:01Honestly, I should be thanking you.
20:03If you hadn't been named the new owner of this house,
20:06and given that search warrant such a close look,
20:08the police would have been all over this place immediately.
20:12And would that have been a problem?
20:18Hi.
20:18Hi.
20:20I'm sorry to just stop by like this.
20:23I hope it's not a bad time.
20:24No.
20:25Oh, it's fine.
20:26Are you okay?
20:28Honestly, not really.
20:30Can I come in?
20:32Oh, yeah, of course.
20:35Are we alone?
20:37Yeah.
20:38Willow's at work and Aiden's scatter at school.
20:41Can I get you something?
20:43I just need a friend.
20:46Honey, you have one.
20:49Tell me, what is going on?
20:52You were with me when I was dizzy the other day.
20:56And you asked me if I could be pregnant.
21:00Right?
21:00And you weren't thrilled with that possibility.
21:04Yeah, well, it's not just a possibility anymore.
21:06I'm pregnant.
21:07I'm pregnant.
21:10Ms. Miller, this needs to be quick.
21:12I have a...
21:13Your attorney's assistant told me to go right in.
21:17Yeah, Suzanne's great, isn't she?
21:21Yeah, once she gets to know you better, you may be lucky enough to score her carrot cake.
21:28I have a meeting with Diane.
21:30Where is she?
21:30Uh, you know, um, court, deposition, buying shoes, who can say?
21:38Well, clearly you can.
21:40Let me tell you something about Diane.
21:42She does a lot of things, including facilitating.
21:45So, today I'm paying her to facilitate your meeting with me.
21:56Out of inside the family crypt.
22:04I know.
22:05I took time out of my busy schedule to compile all that information for you, free of charge.
22:10So, what I think you meant to say is thank you.
22:13For what?
22:15All you found makes Ronnie look like a Girl Scout.
22:19I need something I can use.
22:20I'm sorry, Tracy, but I can't find something that isn't there.
22:23You know what?
22:24You found absolutely everything there was to know about Gio.
22:27And we never even knew to look for him.
22:30You have a gift for finding out the secrets about people.
22:33And all you found out about Ronnie is she won a pie baking contest in Durham.
22:39Three years running.
22:41Look, some people really do lead normal, quiet lives.
22:47We don't know how many of those people, but I have heard they exist.
22:52And it looks like Ronnie might be one of them.
22:55Everybody has something.
22:58She had a husband.
23:00He died young.
23:02She has a job as a waitress.
23:04She has no debt.
23:06She lives modestly within her means.
23:08She's never been arrested.
23:11Never any trouble with the law.
23:15I know you may not want to hear this.
23:17But I don't think Ronnie has anything to hide.
23:23Forget it.
23:24I'm sorry I asked.
23:25I certainly wouldn't want cops rummaging through all my stuff.
23:29And definitely wouldn't want to have to clean up after the mess.
23:32You know?
23:34Well, I appreciate you being so understanding.
23:38But, Ronnie, this is your house now.
23:41And considering we're all living here, you have a right to know what's going on.
23:46King.
23:48King.
23:51My uncle Drew has made a lot of enemies in poor Charles.
23:57Several of whom live in this house.
24:00You first met Tracy at the family crypt, right?
24:03Oh, yeah.
24:04That memory is seared into my brain.
24:06And I was just there paying respects, you know?
24:09Well, Drew tried to have that crypt bulldozed.
24:12Why?
24:14Why?
24:15What?
24:16I mean, your family's interred there.
24:19Your grand...
24:20Your great-grandparents.
24:22Yeah, and my father.
24:24And my grandfather.
24:25And...
24:25Now, my grandmother.
24:29But none of that mattered to Drew.
24:31You see, he feels like he hasn't been given everything he's entitled to from this family,
24:35so he'd rather destroy it all.
24:37Well, the crypt is still standing, so...
24:41You all obviously managed to thwart him somehow.
24:44Actually, that was, uh...
24:46That was old Monica.
24:48As she outmaneuvered Drew, he never even saw it coming.
24:51One of the crypts and...
24:53All of us, it's...
24:55It's still standing because of her.
24:57Well, look at you.
25:02Yeah, I feel good.
25:03I feel pretty strong, but I just, uh...
25:06Can't wait to get out of here.
25:08That's great, but you don't want to overdo it.
25:11The doctor will be by soon to sign off from your release.
25:13Just try to take it easy until then.
25:15I will do my best, but I'm just really looking forward to getting home
25:19so that you and I can get back to our life together.
25:23I have good news.
25:28I'm seeing my kids today.
25:32That's amazing.
25:33How...
25:34How did you manage that?
25:36Actually, it was Michael's idea.
25:38He stopped by Elizabeth's yesterday and offered to let me see Wiley and Amelia this afternoon.
25:42What's the catch?
25:45This is completely irresponsible of me.
25:47I am a doctor.
25:49I know my body.
25:50I never should have let this happen.
25:52Well, it's not just all on you.
25:55Curtis was there, too.
25:56I know.
25:58He and I have been having some pretty major problems recently.
26:02We just decided to end our marriage.
26:05And now this...
26:06Oh, Portia, I am so sorry.
26:09I didn't know.
26:11So he doesn't know about the baby yet?
26:13No.
26:13No.
26:16And I know him.
26:17He'll want to stay together for the baby.
26:21Is that what you want?
26:22I don't know.
26:23I don't know how any of this is even going to happen.
26:25Either Curtis and I work it out and stay together, and one or both of us are going to be miserable.
26:33Or we follow through with the divorce and fight over the baby.
26:37And, um, that's assuming that Curtis is even the father.
26:45I was really hoping things would be simple and easy with the next relationship that I got into.
26:50But...
26:52No, it's...
26:53Art wants what the heart wants.
26:55Should we just worth the headache?
26:58I think so.
26:59I don't appreciate being ambushed.
27:03Well, this is not an ambush.
27:04You took a big hit in the papers today, and I figured you did not want to be seen in public with me.
27:12So if I went to your office or you came to my house, that would be seen as public.
27:18What's this about, Mr. Prentos?
27:20You had an issue, right?
27:22With a warrant at the court of maids.
27:27All structures at 65 Harborview Drive.
27:31Um, let's get that warrant to Detective Chase immediately.
27:36And why is that any of your concern?
27:38Well, it's pretty clear that you're building a case against my son.
27:43I've told you before, I am not going to discuss an ongoing case with you.
27:47And for the record, the PCPD builds the case.
27:51I prosecute it.
27:52That may be true, but if my son is charged with Drew Cain's shooting, you may never prosecute again.
28:05Son.
28:06Have you considered why Monica left this parting gift to her sister?
28:12You mean the house we all call home?
28:14Ronny hasn't kicked anyone out, right?
28:18I'd like to see her try.
28:20Look, at the end of the day, you and Michael, Annette and Jason, you have more money than you could ever spend.
28:28More money than your children's children could ever spend.
28:31That's not the point.
28:32Then what is?
28:35You want to know what I think?
28:37No, I don't.
28:38Too bad.
28:40I don't think your problem is with Ronny at all.
28:44It's with Monica.
28:50I remember you mentioned that Drew had seduced your ex-wife.
28:56So I assume that's why she's an ex?
28:59Well, if I'm being honest, there's plenty of blame to go around.
29:03Yeah, Drew, he did more than his fair share.
29:08He pursued Willow with everything he had.
29:10He didn't stop until he got her.
29:12That's awful.
29:14I mean, that's a betrayal that is so devastating.
29:18Especially coming from your uncle, who you probably trusted, and your wife, who you obviously love.
29:26It was hard.
29:28Honestly, I'm not sure I've really made sense of it all yet.
29:32And if it's confusing for me, I mean, how am I supposed to expect my kids to understand why mom and dad aren't together anymore?
29:38And mom's with Uncle Drew now.
29:42Well, Wiley and Amelia are lovely.
29:44And you know, marriage is ending never easy.
29:50Especially when children are involved.
29:53You know, you've invested so much of yourself and your time.
29:58And the relationship goes away, and you're left wondering how you will ever rebuild.
30:05Sounds like you've been through some losses of your own.
30:08Michael, you don't reach this stage in life without your share of disappointments or regrets.
30:17I just don't want to regret any of the choices that I've made for my kids.
30:22I don't want them to have a question whether or not I did everything I could to keep them safe.
30:28Are you threatening me, Mr. Karthus?
30:30Because that would not be wise.
30:34No, not at all.
30:35I'm just giving you the facts.
30:37You have a conflict of interest.
30:40There is no conflict.
30:41No?
30:42You don't remember the night that you came to my house and you overheard Drew Kane threatening Michael and flat out trying to extort me?
30:53I guess you never mentioned that to anybody or the fact that you came to my house
30:57and you were making pizza with me and my daughter, Eric.
31:01Did you say that to the higher-ups?
31:03And you're threatening to reveal that?
31:06No, I'm just trying to make you see the truth.
31:08That if Michael is charged with Drew's shooting,
31:12you're not going to be able to prosecute because you're compromised.
31:17And you know it.
31:19Hey.
31:20Jordan, what's going on?
31:21Your last texted that you were with Drew.
31:23Yeah.
31:25Drew wanted to make me an offer.
31:28Either I exert pressure on the police and get them to arrest Michael,
31:31or he's going to point the finger at you and say you were the person who shot him.
31:37He never ceases to amaze.
31:39Wow.
31:39Look, it's just a scare tactic, okay?
31:43Drew is salivating at the thought of pinning his shooting on Michael.
31:48He thinks it will clear a path back to Willow.
31:51See, that's what I thought.
31:52But here's the problem.
31:54We're both ex-cops.
31:56Michael may be the focus of the investigation now,
31:58but if new evidence turns up,
32:00the case against Michael could fall apart.
32:02Then what?
32:04Well, if you're Drew,
32:06the next best option is to steer the investigation towards you.
32:11Okay, then let him.
32:13Drew has nothing on me.
32:15He can't blackmail me anymore.
32:17I am out from under Drew's thumb.
32:21And so is Portia.
32:21Wait, are you saying there's a possibility
32:26that Curtis may not be the father of the baby?
32:31Yes.
32:35Do you want to get that?
32:36No.
32:37No, they'll go away.
32:38Elizabeth, it's Commissioner Devane.
32:41We need to speak to you.
32:43I don't know what this is about.
32:50Commissioner.
32:51Hey.
32:52Um, can I help you with something?
32:54I have a warrant to search the premises.
33:02So, you're saying Drew lost the leverage
33:04he had on you and Portia.
33:06The evidence he had is just gone.
33:09Seems like it.
33:10When we saw him yesterday,
33:11it was obvious that something was different.
33:14Drew's got nothing on us.
33:16That's kind of miraculous.
33:18Portia must be relieved.
33:20Although she didn't really seem that way
33:21when I ran into her.
33:23You saw Portia?
33:24Yeah, at the hospital.
33:26I literally ran into her.
33:29She was with Dr. Navarro,
33:31and she seemed pretty tense.
33:33Yeah, well, you know,
33:35Portia's got a lot on her mind right now.
33:38God knows I do.
33:39What do you mean?
33:41If Drew is no longer a concern for you and Portia,
33:45then what's the problem?
33:48Portia and I made a decision.
33:50As soon as there's no longer a threat
33:53that either one of us might be charged
33:56in Drew's shooting,
33:58we're going to file for a divorce.
34:00The last few years with Monica were different.
34:06Yes, we still sparred.
34:08Of course you did.
34:10That was your thing.
34:11It was our thing,
34:13but we actually...
34:15we put down our weapons and our guard
34:20and we became close.
34:23I protected her.
34:24And then for her to turn around
34:26and give the family home
34:28to some long-lost relative,
34:32they don't believe it.
34:34Whatever Monica thought of me,
34:36she would never do that to Michael.
34:37That Ronnie Bard is hiding something.
34:42And that will is as phony
34:44as a $10 toupee.
34:48And if you can't prove it,
34:50I will.
34:53You're blackmailing me.
34:56I'm not blackmailing you.
34:57If I was blackmailing you,
34:59I would let you prosecute the case
35:02and then force you to tank it.
35:05We both know you have information
35:09that you shouldn't have.
35:12You have a conflict of interest.
35:14You should not be part of this case.
35:18You should just give it to one of your staff.
35:20Or what?
35:21One of my less experienced,
35:23less skilled staff?
35:24One of your less compromised staff.
35:29You got to find your way out
35:30of this dicey situation.
35:33So you're protecting me?
35:35I'm protecting us.
35:39Rulo, it's a trap.
35:41Wait.
35:42Michael is not letting you see
35:44Wiley and Amelia
35:45out of the goodness of his heart.
35:46He's doing it on his terms
35:48with a therapist of his choice.
35:50I know that.
35:51What if the therapist
35:52submits a bad report to the court?
35:54It's a risk.
35:55I know.
35:56But it is a chance to see my kids.
35:58So I am taking it.
36:00Well, I just...
36:01It's not like I have
36:02a lot of options here.
36:03And aside from the fact
36:04that I need to see my kids,
36:06saying no would make me
36:07look terrible to the court.
36:09But you're establishing
36:09a pattern, Rulo.
36:11You are...
36:11By agreeing to supervise visits now,
36:14what's to stop the court
36:15from making you do that
36:17in the future?
36:18I don't know.
36:19Nothing.
36:20And I get that this could all
36:21just be one of Michael's tactics,
36:23but I cannot go any longer
36:25without seeing my kids.
36:27Well, at least bring
36:27your own witness.
36:28Call Martin.
36:29No.
36:30No.
36:31I am agreeing to Michael's terms.
36:33And it has to be now.
36:35My kids have to see me.
36:37They have to reconnect with me.
36:38They have to know
36:38that they can depend on me.
36:40Especially if Michael's
36:41about to be arrested
36:42for shooting you.
36:44One thing that I've had to accept,
36:47as painful as it may be,
36:49is that Willow ultimately
36:52cares more about being with Drew
36:54than she does about her kids.
36:57How?
36:58That's a very strong statement
37:00to make.
37:01Especially about a mother.
37:03No, I only say it
37:04because of what Willow's done.
37:06And what she continues to do.
37:09Every time there's a choice
37:11or a decision to be made,
37:12she puts what Drew wants
37:14over the kids' welfare.
37:15Every time.
37:16Well, I've known
37:19some women
37:22who've done the same thing.
37:24I mean, it's like
37:25robbing Peter to pay Paul.
37:28Paul's good with it,
37:29but nobody else is.
37:30Yeah, exactly.
37:31Wiley and Amelia,
37:32they love their mother.
37:35They expect her to love them.
37:38Well, do they get to see her a lot?
37:40No, not recently,
37:42but that may change today.
37:44Good.
37:45I hope that that will be a step
37:47towards healing
37:48these old wounds.
37:50I can't count on that.
37:52I would do anything for my kids.
37:55Their needs have to come
37:56before anyone else's.
37:58Even their mothers.
38:02Rick, it's me.
38:04The police are searching my house,
38:06so if you're done
38:06with your stupid digital detox,
38:08I could really use your help.
38:10Can you call me back?
38:11Isaac.
38:13Anna, can you please tell me?
38:16What is that?
38:17Elizabeth, we would like you
38:18to accompany us down to the station.
38:20Why?
38:20What if...
38:21What's going on?
38:21Where is your house, guest?
38:22On the next General Hospital.
38:30I think we should hold off
38:31on the divorce.
38:32And I could put a target
38:32on my parents.
38:33There's one more thing I need.
38:35That is a step forward
38:37in the right direction.
38:38It is not a matter of if,
38:40it's a matter of when.
38:42Do you know something
38:42I don't know?
38:43I don't know.
38:44I don't know.
38:44I don't know.
38:45I don't know.
38:45I don't know.
38:45I don't know.
38:46I don't know.

38:59I don't know.
