00:00Jack Brennan personally assured me I'd be seeing Charlotte today.
00:15I don't care what deal you made with Brennan.
00:18If you want to see our daughter, you're going to have to deal with me.
00:23What's your pleasure?
00:24She'll have a nebroni.
00:25Well, it isn't the five poppies, Jim bro, Christopher Nash.
00:33Or should I say the WSB's very own Agent Vaughn?
00:39What are the odds we could both take lunch today?
00:42With everything that's been happening lately, I would say very low.
00:45Well, I'd like to find the odds.
00:52I need a lawyer.
00:54I think what I meant to say was, forgive me for interrupting what is obviously a lunch date, but...
01:01If that's what I meant to say, then that's what I would have said.
01:04I'd be happy to meet with you. Just call my office and set up an appointment.
01:07Yeah, been there, done that. How do you think I know how to find you?
01:11It's not Suzanne's fault. She didn't stand a chance.
01:14Thanks to Drew Cain getting himself shot in the back, Diane and Alexis are unavailable.
01:22As am I in this particular moment.
01:24So I am left to the junior associate.
01:27You get lost.
01:28I would appreciate it if you'd been...
01:29No, no, no, no, no.
01:30Oh, no, it's...
01:31It's fine.
01:33Once you get started, you can't stop her.
01:34All you can do is close your eyes and wait for it to be over.
01:38Just tell the waiter that I will have the prime rib, please.
01:44Lunch is on you today.
01:50So, what can I do for you?
01:54There's a squatter in my house, and you and I are going to throw her out on her down-home rear.
02:03There's a squatter in my house, and you and I are going to throw her out on her down-home rear.
02:09Hi.
02:10Hello.
02:11Um, may I please have a BLT and some iced tea?
02:18Yeah.
02:19I am new to Port Charles, and this place is already my go-to because of that sandwich.
02:26Well, I'll pass that on to the boss.
02:28Good.
02:29What brought you to town?
02:30I came for a funeral.
02:33And wound up with a mansion.
02:37Ronnie Barne.
02:38How would you know that?
02:40Well, I'm Gio.
02:42I used to live at the Quartermains.
02:43Oh.
02:44Actually, your place, your house.
02:47You too, huh?
02:48Seems like half the town has lived there.
02:53Masked.
02:54What made you move out?
03:01Didn't we just box that up?
03:02Oh, we did.
03:04I thought we were wrapping it up and hiding it so Tracy didn't punch Ronnie in the face for using it.
03:09Well, I changed my mind.
03:10I came up with a great plan for improving the Ronnie and Tracy situation.
03:16Hey, Dante, do you have a sec?
03:18Oh, yes, I certainly do.
03:21Save me from this paperwork.
03:24What case are we talking about?
03:26Actually, this isn't about a case.
03:28Oh.
03:28At least I'm hoping it's not.
03:30I'm really worried something's happened to my dad.
03:38Oh.
03:39Did it go through yet?
04:01Grateful as I am for our little truce, I can't wait for our little stint as kidnappers to be over.
04:08The banking app on Rick's phone still won't let me make the transfer.
04:12Yeah, I'm seeing the same thing.
04:14There's an app that has a little timer thingy, but nothing is happening.
04:19I don't know, maybe we can't initiate this till midnight when the official waiting period is over.
04:23That's probably it.
04:25Regardless, by tomorrow, the money will be ours,
04:28and you'll finally be able to bid good riddance to your special house guest.
04:37What the hell?
04:49The fact is, this is Ronnie's house now, and she can do whatever she wants with it.
05:18And yeah, who knows, maybe she'll decide to live and let live and move back to Durham.
05:22Living in another state while shouldering a huge tax burden here?
05:26Or maybe she will move here permanently.
05:29In which case, Tracy's head would explode.
05:31Or Ronnie will send us all packing, which seems more likely.
05:36Ronnie could sell the house to the highest bidder.
05:37Exactly, and nobody wants that.
05:40You guys could buy it back from her.
05:41If she would even sell it to one of us.
05:43No, it's better if Ronnie and everyone has to consider that.
05:46Look, Ronnie may own this house now, but it is the quarter main home.
05:52And the way I see it, if we want to keep this house in the family,
05:55we've got to make Ronnie a part of the family.
05:59Well, one BLT and an iced tea.
06:02Thank you very much.
06:03Of course.
06:04Do you have the straw?
06:07The straw?
06:08Yes.
06:09Yeah, shoot.
06:09Sorry.
06:13It's my first shift.
06:16Well, you're doing great.
06:18And I should know, I've been waiting tables my whole life.
06:22That's a real compliment, then.
06:24You're welcome.
06:25Um, if it's not going to get you into too much trouble on your first day,
06:32do you mind if we continue our little chat from before?
06:37You see, the quarter main family tree is completely new to me.
06:42So, how is it that you ended up living in my sister's house?
06:46You mean your house?
06:48Oh, please.
06:49That is going to be so tough to get used to.
06:53Sorry.
06:53It's kind of a long story.
06:57I'm new to the family, too.
07:00Oh, good.
07:01That's something else we have in common, then.
07:05So, you want to contest Monica Quarterman's will?
07:11Supposedly, my sister-in-law left the family home to a virtual stranger.
07:17Her sister, who she has not said a word about in 50 years.
07:22It doesn't make sense.
07:23It wouldn't be the first time that an unknown relative showed up in a will.
07:27You may have a claim, but I would need to look further into it.
07:32There might be some existing case law that supports your position.
07:36That's what I wanted to hear.
07:38I do have to warn you, though.
07:39You won't be evicting anyone anytime soon.
07:42How long will it take?
07:44Most likely, years.
07:46I'm no longer active in the field.
07:51I've actually been promoted to deputy station chief here in Port Charles.
07:55You want a medal?
07:59What I want is for you to answer some questions.
08:02I thought a debrief over a drink at a bar would be preferable to sweating you out at a bureau black site.
08:08I do occasionally enjoy a grown man desperately clinging to the surfer vibe of his youth.
08:20But I'm afraid I'm out of your league.
08:22Oh, um, so can we stop pretending I don't exist and you can talk to me now?
08:30Oh my God, this is taking forever.
08:33There are strict safety protocols in place for the safety of visitors.
08:37And here I thought it was because my mom was in there laying down the ground rules for my dad.
08:41Your mother cares about you a great deal.
08:44Unlike you.
08:47I know you didn't arrange this visit because you're a nice guy.
08:51My father always told me people would use me to get to him.
08:54I just never thought it would be the government doing the using while telling me it was for the greater good.
08:59Well, it seems you already know everything you need to know.
09:03I do know one thing.
09:05You arrested my father and put him in prison.
09:08And if my father deserves to be here, you do too.
09:11I wasn't aware we had any business we had to deal with.
09:18If you want to see your daughter, we have a lot.
09:23First, Charlotte is becoming what you never allowed her to be.
09:28A normal teenager.
09:30She has a great life in Port Charles with friends, school, her brother.
09:37She has stability and finally a life free of fear.
09:40She doesn't have her father.
09:42She misses you.
09:46That's why I'm here today.
09:47That's why she's here too.
09:54But before I can let you see her, I need to know that you are not going to make her feel guilty for starting over and block her out.
10:01You don't make her feel guilty about anything.
10:03You need to make sure that she understands it is okay for her to live her life without you physically being in it.
10:10I need to know that you will put her first.
10:13I will always put her first.
10:16That's why I let myself be caught.
10:20That's why I let her go.
10:22You let yourself get caught.
10:25Lulu, you don't think that Charlotte would be with you today if I didn't want her to be.
10:29My dad sent an email about going to a digital detox facility, but he didn't say which one or where.
10:39Since then, Elizabeth and I have both reached out to him, but his responses have been few and far between.
10:43Well, that would make sense, right?
10:46I mean, he's probably not supposed to be on the device, right?
10:49Right.
10:50But by now, he must know that Willow's in trouble, and she hasn't heard from him either.
10:55I mean, it's just really not like my dad to abandon a client in the middle of a case or be out of touch like this for so long.
11:03Right.
11:03Yeah, I agree.
11:08What do you need from me?
11:10Well, there are digital detox centers all across the country.
11:12But his email read like he was sending it from the facility.
11:16So, could you ping his phone and try to help me figure out where he is?
11:23Look, I know you didn't have to turn over Rick's car to Christina.
11:28And I know you did that in good faith.
11:31And I appreciate that.
11:34Well, keeping his car was necessary when I felt threatened.
11:38I don't feel that way anymore.
11:39And the three of us never would have gotten through this without each other.
11:45Mutually assured destruction.
11:47You can call it that.
11:49Or you could call it an encouraging detente.
11:55Either way, if you told me a month ago that I was going to be your alibi for Drew's shooting, I'd have had you committed.
12:00Yeah, and if you had told me that I would know how you take your tea, I would have committed myself.
12:05Really, though, there's one thing that I did learn throughout all of this.
12:11Aside from always make sure your captive swallows his meds.
12:15That is that...
12:17You're a good mother.
12:19I think we have that in common.
12:31Please.
12:31Stop.
12:32All right.
12:34Okay.
12:36Do I look like I'm okay?
12:37Look, I don't know what you and Alexis are saying, too.
12:39Maybe you forgot a safe word.
12:40Cody, I'm being held captive.
12:41Just get this officer.
12:43Get me out of here.
12:44Okay.
12:45Okay.
12:45Wait.
12:45They're home.
12:49Who's home?
12:50What the hell is going on?
12:51All right.
12:51There's no time.
12:52Please, just free me before all those psychos come down here and kill us both.
12:57Quick!
13:02Should we go and check on our delightful house guests?
13:04Oh, I suppose.
13:06Oh.
13:07Hi, honey.
13:08Hey.
13:08Is Cody here?
13:10Cody?
13:11No, why?
13:12Well, his truck's parked outside.
13:14Oh, well, maybe there's some other woman on the block that you're paying him to seduce.
13:20Oh, well, sorry.
13:21Sorry.
13:22Old habits.
13:23Molly and Cody are friendly.
13:25He probably just parked the car here and they went for a walk or something.
13:28I don't know.
13:29But Molly's at work, isn't she?
13:31Well, maybe she found the lure of Cody Bell too awesome to resist.
13:37Doubtful.
13:38I know, right?
13:39Well, speaking of something we can all probably resist, I was just going to go check on Rick
13:46and bring him some water.
13:47I'll go with you, just, you know, in case for backup.
13:50Thanks.
13:50All right.
13:52I'm going to call Molly and see if she's with Cody and what time she's coming back.
13:59Oh.
14:00What are you, a boy scout or something?
14:01Uh, let's just say I never got a badge for it.
14:05Oh, come on.
14:07Here.
14:08Let's get you to the car.
14:10Whoa, whoa, whoa.
14:10In the hospital.
14:11No, no, no.
14:12Wait a minute.
14:14I got something else in my first day.
14:18I haven't been ignoring you.
14:20You sure?
14:22Because I see you at GH, but you don't seem to see me.
14:25When we're at GH, we're both working and I'm just trying to keep things professional.
14:31Is that how you would categorize your recent behavior with Brad?
14:35Professional.
14:37Excuse me?
14:38I know Brad came back to work at GH and then he left.
14:42I've tried to get a hold of him.
14:43His number doesn't work.
14:45His socials have evaporated.
14:47What the hell did you do to him to drive him away?
14:52I can't wait days to get rid of Monica's cash-slinging sister, much less years.
14:57Aside from how long it will take, there are other downsides to contesting Monica's will.
15:02Bigger downsides than having her sister's French-fried fingerprints on everything I own?
15:09First, probate court is painfully slow.
15:14And the lawyer that Monica used to draw up the will is very good.
15:18So?
15:19So, you won't get anywhere alleging malpractice.
15:23Unless it's your theory that Miss Bard lied about who she is or otherwise broke the law to get her name into the will.
15:30And the last downside is that pursuing this will be costly.
15:35Money's not an issue.
15:36This isn't about money.
15:37This is about exposing Ronnie Bard for the con artist she is.
15:44I swear, there's a whole wing of that house I haven't even discovered yet.
15:49Yeah.
15:49And Yuri was an interesting fellow.
15:54Well, he's one of many under that house, starting with Tracy.
15:58You know something?
15:59If there is anyone in that house more interesting than Tracy, I don't want to know them.
16:07Yeah, you're probably not her favorite person right now, huh?
16:10That's okay.
16:11She's not in my top five either.
16:13Okay.
16:14Yeah, and what about Jason?
16:16Oh, he's interesting.
16:20He doesn't talk much, but I like him.
16:24All right.
16:24Well, then there's my grandparents, Ned and Olivia.
16:27Oh, good hair and the accent.
16:29Yeah, okay.
16:30Yeah.
16:30Got it.
16:31Yeah, that's them.
16:33Last but not least, there's Brooklyn, Chase, and Dante.
16:36Oh, okay.
16:37Brooklyn is married to Chase, and she and Dante are actually my parents.
16:42So that's how you fit in the clan.
16:44Yeah, I just found out that they're my parents, and that the mom who raised me wasn't my real mom.
16:54Oh, and where is she now?
16:58Well, she passed away when I was younger.
17:00Oh, God.
17:02I'm so sorry.
17:03That's a terrible heartbreak for somebody so young.
17:07When I went to Monica's funeral, it felt different somehow.
17:14I knew everyone before, but now that they're my family, I wasn't sure if they were welcoming me because they like me or because I have their name.
17:25Oh, well, I can see why you would move out.
17:30But as a new friend of mine just reminded me, it's now my house.
17:37And you, sir, are welcome any time.
17:45You know, it doesn't surprise me that Valentin is still blaming me for his crimes, but I'm surprised you believe him.
17:53You seem smarter than that to me.
17:55I know exactly who my father is.
17:57He's not innocent, but then he never pretended to be.
18:01Unlike some people.
18:02I appreciated you sending Charlotte back to me.
18:09I searched for her for a long time.
18:15I guess I'm just...
18:18I'm just asking you to be selfless again.
18:24And to support Charlotte's new life.
18:27I just wanted her to be happy.
18:28I know how important the relationship between a father and daughter is.
18:36And I want to protect Charlotte.
18:40But I don't want to come between you two.
18:46To introduce Ronnie to the community.
19:15Show her that we can make room for her here.
19:18Look, if Ronnie has her own connections and friends in Port Charles,
19:22she will be less vulnerable to Granny's digs.
19:25And then she'll think twice before offloading this house with us in it.
19:29I understand the logic.
19:31I'm just wondering if tea is Ronnie's cup of tea.
19:35It's not about the tea.
19:36It's about the guests.
19:38Oh, and I am going to invite the best and brightest
19:42that Port Charles has to offer.
19:45And we'll do it here.
19:47Surrounded by memories of Monica in the house that she made a home
19:50and then left to her sister.
19:52It's a perfect plan.
19:54I love it.
19:55Save me a cup.
19:55I will be there.
19:58One question, though.
19:59If the tea party is here, where will Tracy be?
20:04Oh, I picked a date that Granny has a prior engagement.
20:08The less contact she has with Ronnie, the better.
20:12Well, thank you for the wonderful food
20:15and even better service.
20:19You keep the change.
20:22No, no, no.
20:23This is way too much.
20:28Never, never turned out a good tip.
20:32And if I may give you another one.
20:38Sure.
20:40I was a lot younger than you
20:43when I saw my sister for the very last time.
20:47Okay?
20:49We'd had a pretty nasty fight.
20:51Well, I had asked for something that I hadn't earned
20:54and she made it very clear that
20:56I got so angry
21:00and I pulled away
21:02and I cut her out of my life.
21:06But it ended up to be
21:07the very last time I ever saw my sister.
21:11I'd pick up the phone every once in a while
21:13to call her,
21:15but halfway through dialing the number,
21:17I'd hang up.
21:18Because you were so mad at her.
21:21Yeah, among other things.
21:24My point...
21:26My point is that I should never have let that one
21:30define everything.
21:34Because now she's gone.
21:36Yeah, I miss her.
21:42I've been missing her for a long time.
21:45And you don't ever want to miss anyone that long.
21:50So if you ever feel
21:51that you want to reach out
21:54and, you know, do the forgive and forget,
21:57do it.
21:58Because we always think,
22:01oh, there's more time.
22:04But...
22:05You are, um...
22:08A wonderful young man
22:10and your family deserves to know you, Gio.
22:16Even Tracy.
22:17I have no idea
22:29where Brad is.
22:31Big surprise.
22:32Look, I know that truth
22:33is a foreign concept to you,
22:35but it's all I ever wanted
22:36from Brad.
22:37That is so not even true.
22:40We were getting closer
22:40and the idea
22:42of getting back together
22:44was starting to seem possible.
22:45And you want to know what he did?
22:46A guy tired of listening to you
22:48lecture him
22:48and faked a seizure
22:49to get you to stop?
22:50He revealed even more
22:52dishonesty and lies.
22:54Okay, so what I'm hearing is
22:56Brad was vulnerable
22:58and confessed
22:59and instead of giving him credit,
23:02you punished him?
23:03Oh, please.
23:05You stole an embryo
23:07to trap a man?
23:08You don't get to lecture me
23:10on decency.
23:11Well, at least I fight for love.
23:13You just let them walk away.
23:14Okay, you know what?
23:15I didn't even come over here
23:17to talk to you.
23:18I came over here
23:19to deal with the guy
23:20next to you.
23:23Excuse me?
23:25You and I have some things
23:26to clear up.
23:31Did Valentin say anything of note?
23:35He confirmed what I already knew.
23:37That you are using my daughter
23:39as a bargaining chip.
23:40And I hope you get
23:42what you need
23:42out of this meeting
23:43because I am never
23:44putting her through this again.
23:49Girl, look how grown up you are.
23:51I missed you so much, Dad.
23:53I knew the day would come
23:56when you would be too grown up
23:58to call me Papa.
23:59Is Dad okay?
24:00No, Dad's fine.
24:02Dad's great.
24:02I love Dad.
24:04Tell me everything.
24:06I'm still writing.
24:09It's going well.
24:10I've improved
24:10since you last saw me.
24:12Mom's been driving me
24:13all over the state
24:14for competitions.
24:15Good.
24:16How about school?
24:18It's fine.
24:19I'm acing Mandarin and French.
24:21Of course you are.
24:23One of the many benefits
24:24of traveling the world
24:26with your father.
24:29You're thriving.
24:30I teach you.
24:31It's all I could ever want.
24:33I'm not thriving, Dad.
24:35You are.
24:36And it's good.
24:38It's all I want for you.
24:40It was really hard at first.
24:44It still hurts me
24:45not to see you.
24:47I miss you, too.
24:50One of these days
24:51I'm going to get out of here
24:52and we're going to be together again
24:53and all of this
24:54will just be a distant memory.
24:58Hey.
24:59We're, uh,
25:00tracking your dad's phone.
25:02I can't thank you enough, Dante.
25:04Yeah, of course.
25:05Here's hoping I'm just being
25:06an overly concerned daughter.
25:09I...
25:09I didn't know that you
25:11and your dad
25:12had gotten so close.
25:15It's kind of a new development.
25:17I mean, growing up,
25:18if I didn't hear from him like this,
25:19it would have been
25:20totally normal.
25:21Right.
25:22But, um,
25:23ever since he came back
25:24to Port Charles
25:25for Irene's funeral,
25:27he's really become
25:28a constant in my life.
25:30We've reconnected.
25:32That's, uh,
25:33that's really great.
25:35Yeah, it has been.
25:38Not hearing from him
25:39these past few weeks
25:39has really made me realize
25:42how much I need him
25:42in my life.
25:43I cannot lose him, Dante.
25:48Hey, Molly, it's Mom.
25:49I'm just calling
25:50to see where you are
25:51and, uh,
25:52when we'll be back in...
25:53Oh!
25:55Yeah.
25:57Hey, Molly,
25:58I'll call you back.
26:01Well, what?
26:02You...
26:02You didn't want to put
26:04Molly on the phone with me?
26:05Call her back.
26:10I got so much
26:11to tell her.
26:16Oh, Ronnie!
26:17Just the person
26:17I wanted to see.
26:19I have a fun idea
26:20I wanted to run by you.
26:21Ooh, how nice.
26:22There are just
26:23so many people
26:24here in Port Charles
26:25that I'd like
26:25to introduce you to.
26:26What if we had
26:27everyone over
26:28for a tea party?
26:31A...
26:31a tea party, huh?
26:33Not really my style.
26:39Uh...
26:39I mean,
26:39I wouldn't even know
26:40what to wear.
26:41Oh, no, no, no.
26:42No, it's super,
26:43super casual.
26:44Very low-key.
26:45Right here at the house,
26:46I'm just calling it
26:46a tea party
26:47so that I could use
26:47my great-grandmother's
26:49tea set.
26:50No, the point of the party
26:51is just to introduce you
26:52to some great people
26:54who I think could
26:55help you feel
26:56more at home here.
26:59Please say yes.
27:00Brooklyn put a lot
27:01of thought into this.
27:03It would mean a lot
27:03to her,
27:04to both of us.
27:07I...
27:07I really appreciate
27:09the thought.
27:10Um...
27:11Thank you,
27:12but I'm gonna pass.
27:20What do you think?
27:21Shall I start
27:21researching old
27:22probate cases?
27:24What you said
27:25about this dragging
27:26on for years
27:26is very concerning.
27:28Are you sure
27:28we have no other options?
27:30If Ronnie
27:32is as problematic
27:32as you say she is,
27:34find a way
27:35to get others
27:36to see that too.
27:37It might help
27:38expedite the process.
27:42I know who you are,
27:44and I know you broke
27:44my niece's heart,
27:45so I'm gonna make
27:46this simple.
27:47If you ever
27:48hurt Jocelyn again,
27:50you have to answer
27:51to me.
27:51You know,
27:57instead of threatening
27:58me with field trips
27:59to black sites,
28:01sounds like your time
28:02might be better spent
28:03talking with
28:04Mrs. Nash.
28:05It's hydration time, Rick.
28:16I want your skin
28:17to be nice and cool.
28:26Well, what's wrong, Alexis?
28:28It hasn't been that long
28:29since we've seen each other.
28:31You don't have to ask, though.
28:32I did try something
28:33new with my hair.
28:35Mom!
28:36Mom, Rick escaped.
28:37He's gone.
28:38Could someone please
28:38tell me what the hell
28:39is going on here?
28:41I don't know
28:42that the gang's all here.
28:43Sure.
28:46Would you three lunatics
28:47like to tell this good man
28:49how you kidnapped
28:50and drugged me?
28:51Or shall I?
29:02Are you sure there's
29:03nothing I could do
29:04to convince you?
29:05Yeah, I'm sure.
29:08I just know that
29:10this is something
29:10Monica would want
29:11us to do for you.
29:13She wasn't just
29:14the head of the hospital.
29:15She gave so much
29:17to this town.
29:19Committees and boards
29:21and fundraisers.
29:25And this party,
29:26this party's about you.
29:28Continuing Monica's legacy
29:30of being an integral
29:31part of this community.
29:34Boy, you are good.
29:36She really is.
29:38You had to play
29:38the sister card, huh?
29:41Did it work?
29:42Did I convince you?
29:44Yeah.
29:45Yeah, somehow you did.
29:48I accept your invitation.
29:51Good.
29:52Accept what?
29:57What are you taking
29:59from my family now?
30:00The best part is knowing
30:06that you're living
30:06with your mother
30:07and your brother.
30:08You deserve to be happy.
30:12But you also need
30:15to be informed.
30:17Informed of what?
30:21I know that Britt Westbourne
30:22has come to town.
30:25The woman who gave birth
30:26to Rocco.
30:27You cannot trust her.
30:31Make sure that Rocco knows
30:32he can't trust her either.
30:36Lulu, I can assure you
30:38that your daughter's visit
30:39to this godforsaken place
30:40is not for nothing.
30:41The information I hope
30:42to attain from Valentin
30:43is going to be used
30:44for the greater good.
30:45The repercussions
30:46from this visit
30:47could benefit everyone.
30:48All it does
30:49is show Valentin's enemies
30:50that they can get to him
30:52through her.
30:53You put a target
30:54on her back.
30:55I told you
30:55I would protect Charlotte
30:56and I am.
30:57There are eyes on her
30:58at all times.
30:59But you must understand
31:00that the danger
31:01that Charlotte faces
31:02is not the result
31:03of my actions
31:04or the results
31:04of the WSB.
31:05It is because
31:06of who Charlotte is.
31:08She is the daughter
31:09of a brilliant
31:09but very dangerous man.
31:11Are those my dad's
31:14phone records?
31:15Yeah.
31:17Yeah, it looks like
31:17the last time
31:18he used his phone
31:19was today.
31:22Then why isn't he
31:23returning my calls?
31:25Where is he?
31:26He's in the state.
31:28Okay.
31:29That helps me narrow down
31:31which detox centers
31:32to call.
31:33Okay, I can help you
31:34from further
31:34because this will
31:35pinpoint his phone
31:36to within a five-mile radius.
31:41No.
31:45This cannot be right.
31:47Cody, it's not
31:48what it looks like.
31:49It is exactly
31:49what it looks like.
31:51These harpies
31:52held me hostage
31:53in the basement
31:53for I don't know
31:54how long, a week?
31:56Weeks, plural?
31:57What day is it?
31:59Uh, um...
32:00Cody, I know this
32:01this may seem
32:02a little crazy.
32:03A little crazy
32:05doesn't begin to cover
32:05what this seems like.
32:07I've lost you, though.
32:08There is a reason,
32:09a rational reason
32:11why we did
32:12what we did.
32:13Rick was...
32:13He was blackmailing
32:14my mother
32:15and extorting money
32:16from me.
32:17That money
32:17wasn't yours, okay?
32:18It was part of the
32:19cast that I understand.
32:20And actually,
32:21it was Asus.
32:21You stole from a child.
32:23Please tell me
32:23that isn't true.
32:24That isn't exactly true.
32:27He blackmailed me
32:28for months.
32:30It's not like
32:30we were gonna hurt him.
32:32I fed him every day.
32:33We even played cards
32:34with him.
32:34I played his hand.
32:36The fact is
32:37that we just
32:38were keeping him there
32:39until we could fix
32:40what he did.
32:41What I did?
32:43Look,
32:44do you remember
32:45when you brought
32:46Molly to the hospital
32:46after I was in
32:47a car accident?
32:48Yeah.
32:49Okay, well,
32:49that car accident
32:50was caused by
32:51that little psycho
32:52cutting my brakes.
32:53She tried to kill me.
32:54Is that true?
32:55Not,
32:55not exactly.
32:57I'm sorry, wait.
32:58I got the details wrong, right?
33:00You weren't trying
33:01to kill me.
33:01You were trying
33:02to kill Ava.
33:02That makes it
33:03so much better,
33:03doesn't it?
33:04No, not really.
33:06That is
33:07ancient history.
33:08Look,
33:09we are telling you
33:10the truth
33:11and we just need
33:11one more hour
33:12so that we can
33:13make sure that
33:13the money
33:14that he stole
33:15gets transferred
33:16back into Aces Co.
33:18Cody,
33:18if you leave now,
33:19we'll make sure
33:19you're not connected
33:20to this in any way
33:21and you will be
33:22compensated
33:23quite handsomely
33:24for your troubles.
33:26God,
33:26he's a much better
33:27man than that.
33:30And in case money
33:32is important to him,
33:33I will gladly
33:34offer him
33:35a legitimate
33:36finder's fee.
33:37It's a much better deal
33:38than accepting
33:39blood money
33:39from this crazy coven.
33:42Cody,
33:43please,
33:43just one hour.
33:47Oh, come on!
33:48You can't seriously
33:49be considering
33:50leaving me with them?
33:53Do the right thing.
33:54No.
33:54No.
33:55No.
33:55No.
33:56No.
33:56No.
33:57No.
33:57No.
33:57No.
33:57No.
33:57No.
33:57No.
33:57No.
33:57No.
33:57No.
33:57No.
33:57No.
33:57No.
33:57No.
33:57No.
33:57No.
33:57No.
33:57No.
33:58No.
33:58No.
33:59No.
33:59No.
34:00No.
34:00No.
34:00No.
34:00No.
34:01No.
34:01No.
34:02No.
34:07Hey, Jill.
34:10I just came in
34:11to grab a cup of coffee.
34:11Hopefully that's, uh,
34:12it's cool with you.
34:23On the house.
34:32Um, I'm putting together
34:33a tea party to introduce Ronnie
34:35to the rest of Port Charles.
34:37How lovely.
34:38Oh, I'm looking forward to it.
34:41Uh, unfortunately, Granny,
34:42it's on the same day
34:43as your fundraiser in the city.
34:45Ooh, next time then.
34:47Yeah.
34:47Don't be ridiculous.
34:49I'll just send a check
34:51with my regrets.
34:52There's no place
34:53I'd rather be
34:54than right here
34:55welcoming Ronnie
34:57to Port Charles.
34:59You know,
35:05you could have
35:06shut Lucas up
35:07like that.
35:08All you had to do
35:08was out Jocelyn
35:09as WSB.
35:11I can't do that.
35:14Well, I can.
35:15And I just might.
35:16Unless the WSB
35:18makes it worth my while
35:19to keep Jocelyn's secret.
35:21Dr. Westbourne,
35:22you're in no position
35:22to negotiate.
35:24You were out of friends.
35:26You have no leverage.
35:27And the walls
35:29are closing in.
35:31If I were you,
35:32I would be extremely
35:33careful about
35:34how I proceed.
35:40Drinks on me.
35:46How much did you order
35:47on Trace's tab?
35:49Let's just say
35:50that we'll be having
35:51leftovers for the rest
35:52of the week now.
35:53Hello,
35:54I'm Dr. Britt Westbourne.
35:56He must be
35:57Lucas's new boyfriend.
36:00Just so you know,
36:01his ex-husband
36:02is my best friend.
36:03And trust me,
36:04you'll never live up
36:05to this guy's
36:06extremely high standards.
36:08You'll have to forgive her.
36:09She's a sociopath.
36:10Hey.
36:11Have a nice day.
36:17Brad?
36:18The ex-husband?
36:20Yeah.
36:20All I ever wanted
36:22was for him
36:22to be honest.
36:23He could never
36:24give that to me.
36:25But you can
36:26ignore basically
36:27everything she says
36:28like all of the time.
36:30And I know you
36:31would never lie to me
36:32the way Brad did.
36:35Cody,
36:36if you knew
36:36who Rick
36:37really was,
36:38you wouldn't even
36:38be thinking
36:39about helping him.
36:40If you
36:40side with these
36:42three women,
36:43you're gonna go
36:43to jail
36:44just like them.
36:44You're all nuts.
36:47I have no idea
36:49how any of you
36:50are related to Molly.
36:51I'm gonna grab
36:52my dog
36:52out of your backyard
36:54and I'm getting
36:55out of here.
36:55Wait, wait.
36:56No, don't talk
36:56about this.
37:07Okay, that's enough
37:08grim warnings.
37:10I want to hear everything.
37:11Who are you
37:11hanging out with?
37:13Are you asking me
37:14if I like anyone?
37:21Time's up.
37:31I love you.
37:44All right.
38:13I did my part.
38:18Now it's your turn.
38:21You were gonna tell me
38:22everything you know
38:24about the final project
38:25of Cesar Faison.
38:27on the next General Hospital.
38:32What are you doing here?
38:33What happened to you?
38:35Nathan wants to
38:36take James.
38:37He has every right to.
38:38I don't like the timing
38:39of any of this.
38:40Seeing your father
38:41comes with a certain
38:42level of risk.
38:43I have another condition.
38:44He's lied to you
38:45about everything.
38:46What's up.
38:47He's going to be right.
38:49What's up.
38:49It's your turn.
38:50You're not going to be right.
38:50I don't know.
38:51I don't know if it's about you.
38:51It's not going to be right.
38:52crazy.
38:53You're not going to be right there.
38:54I'm going to be right.
