00:00Okay, honey, come on, why don't we come over here?
00:02Oh, oh, oh, wow.
00:04Kim, did you rescue all these dogs or anything?
00:07Yeah.
00:08Emma and I got a tip that led us right to a second lab
00:10we had off campus.
00:10They were all there.
00:12And I brought them here.
00:14Yeah, I'm sorry we barged in like this,
00:16but the shelters are closed for the night,
00:18and my grandmother's HOA would immediately kick us out
00:21if I walked in with this many dogs.
00:23We didn't have anywhere else to drink.
00:25I know it's a lot to ask, but...
00:28can we keep them here tonight?
00:30Oh, okay, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:31Just wait, wait, stay there, stay there, buddy, stay there.
00:34One thing, an issue that's just a little bit more important
00:37with where the dogs spend the night.
00:39Rocco is currently facing felony charges,
00:42and you two just made him an accomplice
00:44to every law that you just broke.
00:53I really hated not spending Thanksgiving here with you
00:56and being forced to witness Drew and Willow's wedding.
00:59It was nauseating, but it was worth it.
01:04We got Scout to spend the night with us.
01:06I know.
01:07When she got here, her whole face lit up
01:10when she was talking about her flower girl duties.
01:12It was really sweet, I have to say.
01:14Made my day.
01:15Mine too.
01:16Honestly, that was the best part.
01:18How excited she got when she caught that bouquet.
01:21What was the worst part?
01:22Drew got what he wanted.
01:27He wanted Willow to be his wife.
01:29He wanted me to be his lawyer.
01:32And he knows very well that I'm going to do my damnedest
01:34to get her acquitted.
01:35Otherwise, we're going to lose all access to Scout.
01:38How's that going?
01:39Well, I have some promising areas to pursue,
01:43but I really can't get into that right now.
01:45The one thing that Drew and I agree on
01:48is that we both believe Willow is innocent.
01:52And that means the real shooter is out there somewhere.
01:56You know, if you want to be alone, I can take off.
01:59No, I don't want you to go.
02:03I'm just checking.
02:05I know you've had a very rough day.
02:07Yeah.
02:08I mean, this isn't my favorite Thanksgiving.
02:13My mom is pregnant.
02:16And she didn't even tell me.
02:18No one told me.
02:20That's crazy.
02:22And then I find my dad and Jordan kissing
02:24right before the cops show up
02:25to take him in for questioning about Drew shooting.
02:29This is the worst holiday ever.
02:33What can I do?
02:39You're doing it.
02:42Just being here.
02:44You lied to Detective West?
02:46About what, specifically?
02:50About the hour that I spent here
02:53the night Drew was shot.
02:54I told them that I was here alone.
02:57I was not.
03:01What were you with?
03:04Selena Wu.
03:07Curtis, you despise that woman.
03:10What could you possibly have been meeting with her about?
03:13I wanted her to kill Drew.
03:14Can I get a margarita?
03:29I'm extra spicy.
03:30I'm extra spicy.
03:30Thanks for coming.
03:49Yeah, no problem.
03:50What's going on?
03:52I just got back from seeing Maxie.
03:55I was wondering when I would run into you.
03:59Cody Bell?
04:01Me?
04:02Have you gotten even handsomer?
04:04Eh, guilty.
04:06You're looking pretty good, too.
04:08You know, for a dead woman.
04:09Oh, my God.
04:39I had a feeling you'd be stopping by.
04:51Aren't you going to invite me in?
04:53No, I'm afraid that you've wasted a trip.
04:57Please reconsider.
04:59I really don't want my next stop to be the police.
05:09I really don't want my next stop to be the police.
05:28Very prudent, Madam Mayor.
05:31Very prudent.
05:31Oh, yes, and congratulations on your victory.
05:36Another term in office.
05:37You must be really excited about the challenges ahead.
05:41What do you want?
05:42So much for the small talk.
05:44What would your constituents think if they knew that you defended your grandson by not only publicly confronting Professor Dalton, but by killing him?
06:00I did nothing of the sort.
06:03Really?
06:03Well, then, how do you explain this?
06:15I have been working like crazy, trying to defend Rocco, and then you two show up here, further implicating him with stolen property.
06:25Hey, they're dogs, not property.
06:27Okay, the law, unfortunately, is not going to see it that way, Emma.
06:30And we didn't steal them, Rick.
06:32Yeah, that's right.
06:33We liberated them.
06:34Oh, I'm sorry.
06:36You see it the way you want to see it, but the police are going to see it the way it is, okay?
06:41It's larceny.
06:42It's conspiracy.
06:43It's breaking and entering.
06:44Come on, Rick.
06:46Emma and Jill saw something wrong, and they took action to save these dogs.
06:51Isn't there something, you know, against dog abuse?
06:55Was Dalton abusing them?
06:59You know, was he beating them?
07:00Was he starving them?
07:01No, he had them locked up in cages waiting for them to be experimented on.
07:05Yeah, they were suffering, and what Dalton was doing to them is immoral.
07:08Yeah, well, unfortunately, morals and law don't always work in tandem.
07:12Look, none of us like what Dalton was doing, but animal testing is not generally illegal.
07:17What you two did is...
07:19But if Dalton left town, he's not going to call the police, right?
07:23He probably doesn't even know the dogs are missing.
07:25If no one saw Emma and Gio there, they could still be in the clear.
07:30Hello?
07:30Let's catch up.
07:49Unless you're planning on conning me again.
07:52I don't con people anymore.
07:54I left that life behind.
07:55But you're a stand-up guy now?
08:00That's so boring.
08:01You know, as fun as this is, standing here being insulted, I think I'm going to go.
08:05Mm!
08:06Wait, wait, wait, wait!
08:08Okay, I'm sorry.
08:10Good for you on the whole, like, self-improvement thing.
08:14Got any tips?
08:17None that top coming back from the dead.
08:19Got yourself a clean slate.
08:21You're a useless tool.
08:26I could do your work and my own, Dalton.
08:28You're sloppy and you lie.
08:31Who needs that?
08:32I'm afraid I have to agree.
08:38Um, you'd be surprised.
08:41Well, try me.
08:45You know, one of my many improvements since you left is listening.
08:50Well, how about we just have a good laugh instead?
08:53You can try that as well, but, uh, I'm not exactly in the best of moods right now.
08:58You know, I picked up on that.
09:00See, I can be perceptive.
09:02What's the problem?
09:04Well, I'm waiting for someone, and it looks like she's not going to come.
09:09Well, looks like we're just going to have to cheer each other up.
09:18You know, I think the kids are just happy to be in the same room with Maxi.
09:22Um, you know, I think finally, uh, getting to see their mother again, that was good for the kids.
09:36Good for Mac and Felicia, too.
09:37What about you?
09:44I know seeing Maxi should make me happy.
09:51But it doesn't.
09:57Kills me every time.
10:00Well, the police already released your dad.
10:02That's a good sign.
10:06Yeah.
10:08I mean, I'd like to believe that.
10:12But...
10:14They had to have a good enough reason to bring him in the first place, especially on Thanksgiving.
10:19Is it possible that maybe they just wanted to clear him?
10:21I don't know.
10:27I just feel so helpless.
10:33And I can't...
10:34I can't just stand by while my family unravels.
10:39There has to be something that I can do.
10:41There is.
10:43You and I can figure out who really shot Drew.
10:46Selena Wu left Port Charles after the fire at Charlie's Pub.
10:51She came back at my request.
10:53Because you wanted her to kill Drew Kane.
10:55Yes.
10:58For a million dollars.
11:00Oh, my God.
11:05Oh, my God.
11:07What am I hearing?
11:09Why are you telling me this?
11:12Because you defended me so passionately at the PCPD.
11:15I wasn't going to repay your good faith in me by lying to you.
11:19So instead, you make me an accomplice after the fact.
11:21Okay, okay, come here.
11:27I got you.
11:28All right, fine.
11:28Come, hey, hey, come on, baby.
11:30Come on, let's...
11:30We're going this way, man.
11:32So, uh...
11:34These are...
11:37Henry Dolan's dogs?
11:41I mean, you've done it again, man.
11:43You brought your little brother into another potential crowd, man.
11:46Dad.
11:47Jill and Emma just got here with the dogs.
11:49I didn't know anything about it before this, I swear.
11:52Is that true?
11:54Yeah.
11:54I got nothing to do with this.
11:57Didn't have anything to do with taking the dogs, but it sure has something to do with them being here right now.
12:01And I was surrounded by stolen property.
12:06In fact, everybody here is now party to the crime.
12:11Way to go.
12:12And you, I mean, you brought your younger brother into a dangerous situation and everyone else here.
12:19I mean, how...
12:20How selfish are you, in fact?
12:23Dante.
12:27Enough.
12:28We were the only people in the house when he was shot, other than Drew and the shooter.
12:36That makes us the closest thing to witnesses that exist.
12:39Yeah, we've been over it.
12:41And we need to go over it again.
12:43Maybe something will come to us, something that didn't register at the time, but will bring us to who the shooter is.
12:49I know this is a long shot, but I'm just trying to help.
12:53Yeah, I know.
12:54And I appreciate you.
12:57But what if I don't want to know who did it?
13:02Why wouldn't you?
13:04Because it looks more and more like one of my parents shot Drew.
13:08Drew and Willow got married so quickly.
13:10My guess is that he convinced her that marrying him would persuade the jury she couldn't have shot him.
13:15Oh, he definitely thinks that.
13:20Yeah, but couldn't...
13:21I don't know.
13:22Couldn't that go the other way?
13:24I mean, couldn't it look to the jury like Drew's infatuated with Willow and Willow's just playing him?
13:31That's the risk.
13:32But Drew refuses to hear any of my arguments.
13:35What about Willow?
13:36I think he's convinced Willow that marrying him is her only path to getting our kids back.
13:42He definitely knows what she wants to hear.
13:44Well, whatever reasons they got married is none of my business.
13:49What's good is that I genuinely believe that Scout and Willow are very fond of each other.
13:56And at the end of a brutal day, if that's a win, I'll take it.
14:01Georgie and James are old enough to understand what's going on.
14:03And it's clear to me that they are clinging to hope that Maxie will make up.
14:14And I'm so glad that they are.
14:17But I can't just help dwell on the alternatives.
14:21Okay, what are those?
14:25Either Maxie will never open her eyes and just spend the rest of her life in some suspended state of animation.
14:35Or her condition deteriorates and we lose her.
14:44Okay, but she is getting the best possible care and we just have to hope that it's enough.
14:51No, and I pray that you're right.
14:54But that third possibility?
14:56That, you know, that blessed day that Maxie wakes up and comes back to us?
15:03I mean, I feel almost more like a fantasy, not a potential reality.
15:13We don't know.
15:14So you have to focus on that third outcome.
15:20It's the only thing that's going to get you through this.
15:22Yeah, in theory.
15:24But that is, I find that so much harder in practice.
15:28Like today, I, rather than cherishing the time I have with her,
15:34I just feel trapped in this, this question.
15:42Will there ever be more times to come?
15:48It's really, it's not funny.
15:51Oh, come on.
15:52You almost dating your cousin is a little funny.
15:56It was heartbreaking.
15:57Took me months to recover.
15:59Well, heartbreaking or not, you managed to cheer me up.
16:01Well, I'm glad my misery could amuse you.
16:06If you want more to laugh at, this winter,
16:09I also got trapped on the rooftop of GH.
16:13Had to take my pants off.
16:14Oh, checking for frostbite?
16:17No, I threw my pants over the side to signal that we were trapped.
16:21Oh my gosh, that's so good.
16:23Oh, whoa, wait.
16:29It's a fake.
16:30Manny, your position could easily get that done.
16:32We've all seen what AI can do.
16:34AI, yes, indeed we have.
16:37But we both know this is real.
16:40And when law enforcement tries to authenticate it,
16:43they'll find that too.
16:45So, if you finish trying to bluff your way out of this,
16:48can we just get down to business?
16:51Sure.
16:51Where's the murder weapon?
16:54Excuse me?
16:56Well, I know I didn't shoot Professor Dalton,
16:58so I am assuming that you did,
17:01unless, of course, you had one of your associates do it for you.
17:03Look at you, so composed for one being accused of murder.
17:08Mr. Sidwell,
17:09I have faced others like you.
17:13In fact, I've faced worse than you.
17:18And you know what?
17:19None of them are around anymore.
17:21But I am.
17:26Did those people you faced down in the past
17:29have proof that you're a murderer?
17:32Because...
17:34I do.
17:37And...
17:38Not just you.
17:46There he is.
17:48Your good friend, Sadi Carinthos.
17:50Hmm?
17:51A man I hear has a reputation for violence,
17:54and who had the same motive to murder Dalton as you did.
17:58Your grandson.
18:01Now, he would have been enough for my purposes
18:04if you just incriminated yourself.
18:07But, I mean,
18:09that was a real gift.
18:12You incriminating Sadi Carinthos as well.
18:17You know what, Dante?
18:20Forget about your badge for a second
18:22and just think about...
18:24being a father.
18:26I can't.
18:27I can't do that, Dad.
18:28I'm the acting police commissioner right now.
18:30I can't just ignore evidence of a break-in
18:32and theft when it's staring me right in the face.
18:35Uh, actually, commissioner,
18:36uh, regarding any, uh,
18:38alleged crimes that may have been committed,
18:40you are familiar with the, uh,
18:43the Good Samaritan law, right?
18:45It's where any person,
18:46or in this case, animal,
18:48is in imminent danger.
18:49Citizens can't act on their behalf,
18:51uh, including entering private property
18:54in order to save them.
18:55You think I'm gonna buy that
18:56or anyone else?
18:58If MNGO were to swear to that,
19:00I don't see why you wouldn't.
19:01Mr. Lansing's right.
19:04And we were walking home
19:05from the brown dog bar
19:06when we heard the dogs crying and barking.
19:08Yeah, it sounded like they were in pain.
19:10It was, it was awful.
19:11So we followed that noise
19:12to a random building,
19:13and that's when we saw
19:13the dogs trapped inside.
19:15And we knew we had to get them out.
19:17Where, where was a random building?
19:19I mean, wait, wait,
19:19what street was it on, at least?
19:21I don't remember.
19:23Why don't you call 911?
19:25Well, we should have,
19:26but it all just happened so fast.
19:27We were acting on instinct.
19:29And the most important thing
19:30is that we saved all the dogs.
19:38Both of my parents
19:39have been acting weird lately.
19:42And I know that we've had
19:43suspicions about my mom,
19:44but I'm starting to wonder,
19:47my dad was the one
19:48who actually shot Drew.
19:49Other than the police
19:50wanting to talk to him,
19:51why do you think that?
19:52Okay.
19:53Remember, Aunt Stella came over
19:55the night of the shooting,
19:57and she thought maybe
19:58my dad was the one
19:58who shot Drew
19:59because she couldn't
20:00get a hold of him.
20:01I thought she was crazy.
20:03I can believe that your dad
20:05would shoot Drew in anger,
20:06but I'm not so sure
20:08about your mom.
20:09I know my parents
20:10would do anything
20:11to protect me.
20:13And if one of them
20:14shot Drew,
20:15I'm the reason they did it.
20:17I'm sorry I got you involved.
20:21Look, Drew can't
20:22retaliate against me,
20:23so he blackmailed Portia.
20:26He threatened her career,
20:27and then he came
20:27for my aunt Stella.
20:28That is my family,
20:30and it is my duty
20:32to protect them.
20:33I don't deny
20:34that you had motive,
20:35or that you could have
20:36gotten your hands
20:37on Edward Quartermain's gun,
20:38but I know you, Curtis.
20:40You wouldn't murder Drew
20:42in cold blood,
20:43and you wouldn't pay
20:43Selena Wu
20:44to do it for you.
20:45What makes you so sure?
20:49What's wrong?
20:50Looking for my phone.
20:52I realize I haven't
20:52checked it in forever,
20:53which has been
20:54oddly refreshing.
20:56Oh, I know where it is.
20:58I saw it over here.
21:01Oh, you have a text
21:04from Cody.
21:04He is at the Brown Dog
21:06and wants to meet you.
21:07Christina,
21:07mind your business.
21:09Yeah, Christina,
21:10mind your business.
21:10Okay.
21:11Do you remember
21:11what happened last time
21:12you interfered?
21:13Yes, of course I do,
21:15and that's why
21:16I am being so nosy.
21:17I know I never
21:19should have paid Cody
21:20to seduce Ava,
21:21and I know how much
21:21that really hurt you.
21:23Please, let me make it up to you.
21:26How?
21:27Okay, I'm going to drag you
21:28upstairs and change you
21:29out of whatever this is
21:31and send you
21:32to surprise Cody.
21:34I don't know.
21:35Oh, Molly.
21:37Come on.
21:38You work so hard.
21:39It's a holiday.
21:42Go have some fun.
21:43Not only did Gio
21:51drag Rocco into this mess,
21:53it's like he hasn't learned
21:54from any of his mistakes
21:55from the other times.
21:56It's a victimless crime.
21:59You heard Rick,
22:00it's no crime at all.
22:01As a matter of fact,
22:02it's a good Samaritan situation.
22:05I mean, Dalton,
22:07skip town, right?
22:08Those dogs were being abused.
22:10They need help.
22:12Okay, yeah.
22:13For all, we know Dalton
22:13could be back here tomorrow.
22:16I knew that there was a risk
22:18that you might call the police
22:20when you discovered Dalton's body.
22:23But fortunately,
22:25you called Corinthos instead.
22:28I'm sure you were delighted.
22:30I know that
22:31the sunny Corinthos,
22:33you involving him,
22:34it complicated things for you.
22:35So I'm here
22:37to make things simple again.
22:39As long as you cooperate,
22:41no one need ever know
22:43what part you played
22:44in Dalton's demise.
22:46I didn't play any part in it.
22:49Well, so you claim.
22:50But goodness knows
22:51what other evidence
22:52might come to light
22:54suggesting otherwise.
22:56Oh, oh, okay.
22:58Yeah, I guess this is your,
23:00your cute little way
23:01of telling me
23:02that you have more
23:03fabricated evidence
23:05that you can use against me
23:07whenever you want.
23:07So why don't we just cut
23:08to the chase, okay?
23:10Tell me what you want.
23:11So wonderfully impatient.
23:15And here I thought
23:16we were starting to
23:17enjoy each other's company.
23:23You will continue to work
23:25for the good people
23:26of Port Charles,
23:27but you will also
23:28work for me.
23:30And as long as you do
23:32what I politely
23:33ask you to do,
23:36you will stay in office
23:37and out of prison.
23:39And if I refuse?
23:41Your husband,
23:42children, grandchildren,
23:43they still need you,
23:45don't they?
23:46If something tragic
23:48would have happened to you,
23:49it would just kill them,
23:50so to speak.
23:55Ignore it.
23:55They'll go away.
23:56Oh, but that would be
23:57so rude.
24:02Allow me.
24:07Oh, I swear I'm late.
24:10What did I miss?
24:15I should be going.
24:16It's been a long, hard day
24:18and I should be with the kids
24:20in Mac and Felicia.
24:21Yeah, of course.
24:23Thank you for being
24:25such a good friend
24:25for lending your wise ear.
24:30Anytime you need me.
24:34For what it's worth,
24:37didn't notice that
24:37your gaze drifted
24:39to Brit throughout the night.
24:43I know you and Cody
24:44have had your scuffles.
24:46He's been pretty wonderful
24:47with James.
24:48I think he's a man
24:51of great character.
24:55Well, thank you for the beer.
24:57Yeah, yeah.
24:58My pleasure.
25:04Okay.
25:06What should we play?
25:06This one's good.
25:22Oh, perfect choice.
25:27Dance with me.
25:28That's okay.
25:29No, no, no.
25:31You still owe me
25:33for parachuting into me
25:36and almost drowning me
25:37in the MetroCorp pool.
25:39All right.
25:40If I say yes,
25:41are you finally going to let that go?
25:43Maybe.
25:45I mean, yes.
25:46What?
25:47Brit.
25:48Don't know what direction
26:04I'm in.
26:10I'm in.
26:12I'm in.
26:12I'm in.
26:13I'm in.
26:14I'm in.
26:18What are you doing?
26:28Why are you being so weird?
26:30I know you're attracted to me.
26:32That was never our problem.
26:33Brit, I'm glad that you're alive
26:35and I'll be there for you
26:37if you ever need me,
26:38but not like that.
26:39Too good for me.
26:40No, there's someone else
26:42in the picture now.
26:43Somebody's clearly
26:44not coming tonight,
26:45but if you'll excuse me.
26:48My bad.
26:50I guess things do change.
26:55Okay.
26:57Another spicy margarita,
26:59double shot of tequila.
27:01Make that a water,
27:04please.
27:07Good job convincing Molly
27:10to go hang out with Cody.
27:12I know.
27:13She looked so pretty,
27:14didn't she?
27:15And I do think
27:15even though she was trying
27:17to hide it,
27:17I think she was pretty excited.
27:19You have to know
27:20how happy I am
27:22that you and your sister
27:23have pushed forward
27:24and repaired your relationship.
27:27That's what I'm most thankful
27:28for today.
27:31When we lost the baby
27:32and then Sam,
27:33I honestly didn't think
27:34our family would
27:35ever be able to heal.
27:38It's funny,
27:38I've been thinking about Sam
27:39a lot today too.
27:40I mean,
27:41I think about her every day,
27:42of course,
27:42but today especially,
27:46she loved Thanksgiving.
27:47No,
27:48they just aren't
27:49the same without her.
27:55But you know
27:56how proud
27:57she would be of you
27:59for all the love
28:00and support
28:01that you have shown
28:02your sister.
28:06And we.
28:06You said you asked
28:10Selena back
28:11to poor Charles
28:12and offered her
28:13a million dollars
28:14to kill Drew.
28:15But you haven't said
28:16that you actually
28:17went through with it.
28:22Selena agreed
28:23to do the job.
28:25But in the end,
28:27I couldn't go through with it.
28:30She didn't get
28:30her million dollars?
28:31I never transferred it.
28:32I knew it.
28:34I didn't want
28:35a murder on my conscience
28:36and besides,
28:37I didn't want Selena Wu
28:38to have that kind of power
28:39over me.
28:40Because you are
28:40a better man
28:41than Drew Cain.
28:43You have morals.
28:44You know the difference
28:45between right and wrong?
28:47Yeah, well,
28:47don't give me too much credit.
28:49That man could drop dead
28:50right now
28:51and I wouldn't shed
28:51one tear.
28:53But I realized
28:54that
28:55if I were responsible
28:57and then I got caught,
29:00that it would destroy
29:00my family.
29:01And I have a beautiful daughter
29:03and I now know
29:04that I have a child
29:05on the way.
29:06And I can't let
29:07Drew Cain
29:08or Selena Wu
29:10or anyone
29:12take that away from me.
29:14This whole thing
29:15with Gio,
29:16I mean,
29:16it is like,
29:18it's like it's
29:19tearing our family apart,
29:20Dad.
29:21I mean,
29:23Rocco was the shy kid.
29:25He never stepped
29:25out of line.
29:27You know?
29:27And then he gets
29:30alcohol poisoning,
29:31almost dies
29:31and gets arrested
29:32all in a span
29:33of a few months.
29:35He's growing up.
29:38You knew he wasn't
29:39in a state kid forever.
29:42Yeah,
29:42there's something else.
29:46We got in a big argument
29:47because
29:48I told him
29:51I wanted him
29:51to stay away from Gio
29:53and he kind of
29:53exploded on me.
29:56He said some things
29:57that really
29:58got pretty deep.
30:02It's nothing like
30:03the gut punch
30:04of hearing someone
30:05say
30:06out loud
30:08all the things
30:09you already know
30:09that are the worst
30:10parts of you.
30:12All the things
30:13you don't want
30:14other people to see.
30:17Then hearing it
30:17come from
30:18your own son.
30:18Sorry about that.
30:21I mean,
30:23I know how much
30:24that can hurt.
30:27Yeah,
30:27it hurts
30:28because it's true.
30:32I did leave
30:33him and his mom
30:34twice.
30:39But no matter
30:40how bad I feel
30:41about that,
30:41I can't give in to him
30:42because I just
30:42think he's got to
30:44stay away
30:45from Gio.
30:47Gio and Rocco
30:48have a real
30:49special bond.
30:50You're not going
30:51to be able
30:51to keep them apart.
30:52I don't even think
30:53that's the answer.
30:55Lucita,
30:56exact same thing to me.
30:59Like I told you
31:00before,
31:00you forget
31:01your badge.
31:03Think of this
31:04as a father.
31:08You have two sons
31:09and they both
31:12need their dad.
31:15What brings you
31:16to my home
31:17uninvited?
31:19Well,
31:19good evening
31:20to you two,
31:20Mayor.
31:22Councilman Boyle
31:23will act
31:23as my
31:24intermediary.
31:28I don't know
31:30why I'm surprised.
31:30I mean,
31:31it's always been clear
31:33that the two of you
31:33were working together.
31:36Okay,
31:37so,
31:37what orders
31:39will Ezra
31:41be delivering?
31:42Should I just resign,
31:43maybe push
31:44for a special
31:45election?
31:46Then you can
31:46install Ezra
31:48as the mayor.
31:48No,
31:49no,
31:49no,
31:50don't be ridiculous.
31:52He lost.
31:55Poor Charles
31:55doesn't want him.
31:58I need you.
32:00You get things done.
32:02And what things
32:03are you expecting?
32:05All those details
32:05will come to light
32:07soon enough.
32:08Just know
32:09that Ezra here
32:10will communicate
32:11my instructions
32:12and you
32:13will then execute.
32:16People are
32:16going to be suspicious
32:17if they see
32:19Ezra and me
32:19working together
32:20closely.
32:21Maybe
32:21at the beginning,
32:22sure,
32:23but these things
32:23are easily explained.
32:25Politics,
32:27strange bedfellows,
32:28that kind of thing.
32:30So,
32:31what do you say?
32:34Do we have a deal?
32:39Not only did
32:41Gio drag Rocco
32:43into this mess,
32:44it's like he hasn't
32:45learned from any
32:46of his mistakes
32:46from the other times.
32:48It's a victimless crime.
32:50You heard Rick,
32:51it's no crime at all.
32:53As a matter of fact,
32:53it's a good
32:54Samaritan situation.
32:57I mean,
32:57Dalton,
32:58skip town,
32:59right?
33:00Those dogs
33:00were being abused.
33:02They need help.
33:03Okay,
33:04yeah,
33:04for all we know,
33:05Dalton could be
33:05back here tomorrow.
33:06I knew
33:08that there was
33:09a risk
33:09that you might
33:10call the police
33:11when you
33:12discovered Dalton's body,
33:14but fortunately,
33:16you called
33:16Corinthos instead.
33:19I'm sure
33:20you were delighted.
33:21I know
33:22that
33:22Sonny Corinthos,
33:24you involving him,
33:25it complicated
33:26things for you,
33:27so
33:27I'm here
33:28to make things
33:29simple again.
33:30As long
33:31as you cooperate,
33:33no one need
33:34ever know
33:35what part you played
33:36in Dalton's demise.
33:37I didn't play
33:38any part in it.
33:40Well,
33:40so you claim.
33:41But goodness knows
33:42what other evidence
33:43might come to light
33:45suggesting otherwise.
33:47Oh,
33:48oh,
33:49okay,
33:49yeah,
33:50I guess this is
33:50your cute little way
33:53of telling me
33:54that you have
33:54more fabricated evidence
33:56that you can use
33:57against me
33:58whenever you want.
33:59So,
33:59why don't we just
34:00cut to the chase,
34:00okay?
34:01Tell me what you want.
34:02so wonderfully
34:04impatient.
34:06And here I thought
34:07we were starting
34:08to enjoy
34:10each other's company.
34:14You will continue
34:15to work
34:16for the good people
34:17of Port Charles,
34:18but you will also
34:20work for me.
34:22And,
34:23as long as you do
34:24what I politely
34:25ask you to do,
34:27you will stay in office
34:28and out of prison.
34:31And if I refuse?
34:32Your husband,
34:34children,
34:34grandchildren,
34:35they still need you,
34:36don't they?
34:37If something tragic
34:39would happen to you,
34:40it would just kill them,
34:41so to speak.
34:46Ignore it,
34:46they'll go away.
34:47Ooh,
34:48but that would be
34:49so rude.
34:53Allow me.
34:54I swear I'm late.
35:01What did I miss?
35:06I should be going.
35:07It's been a long,
35:08hard day,
35:09and I should
35:10be with the kids
35:11in Mac and Felicia.
35:12Yeah,
35:13of course.
35:15Thank you
35:15for being such
35:16a good friend
35:17and
35:17for lending
35:19your wise ear.
35:21Anytime you need me.
35:22for what it's worth,
35:28I didn't notice
35:29that your gaze
35:30drifted
35:30to Brit
35:32throughout the night.
35:34I know you and Cody
35:35have had your scuffles.
35:38He's been pretty wonderful
35:39with James.
35:41I think he's a man
35:42of great character.
35:46Well,
35:47thank you for the beer.
35:48Yeah,
35:48yeah,
35:49my pleasure.
35:52Okay.
35:57What should we play?
36:09This one's good.
36:13Oh,
36:14perfect choice.
36:18Dance with me.
36:19That's okay.
36:20No,
36:21no,
36:21no.
36:23You still owe me
36:25for
36:26parachuting into me
36:27and almost drowning me
36:29in the MetroCorp pool.
36:30All right,
36:31if I say yes,
36:32are you finally
36:32going to let that go?
36:34Maybe.
36:36All right,
36:37yes.
36:39Rip.
36:39and
36:42and
36:45just
36:45find me around
36:47from this place
36:49to send this down
36:51don't know
36:53what direction
36:55I'm in.
36:57Whoa! What are you doing?
37:19Why are you being so weird?
37:21I know you're attracted to me.
37:23That was never a problem.
37:24Britt, I'm glad that you're alive.
37:27And I'll be there for you if you ever need me, but not like that.
37:30Too good for me.
37:31No, there's someone else in the picture now.
37:34Somebody's clearly not coming tonight, but if you'll excuse me.
37:39My bad.
37:41I guess things do change.
37:46Okay.
37:48Another spicy margarita, double shot of tequila.
37:52Make that a water, please.
37:57Good job convincing Molly to go hang out with Cody.
38:03I know.
38:04She looked so pretty, didn't she?
38:06And I do think even though she was trying to hide it, I think she was pretty excited.
38:10You have to know how happy I am that you and your sister have pushed forward and repaired your relationship.
38:17That's what I'm most thankful for today.
38:22When we lost the baby and then Sam, I honestly didn't think our family would ever be able to heal.
38:28It's funny, I've been thinking about Sam a lot today too.
38:32I mean, I think about her every day, of course, but today especially, she loved Thanksgiving.
38:39No, they just aren't the same without her.
38:41But you know how proud she would be of you for all the love and support that you have shown your sister.
38:57And we.
38:58You said you asked Selina back to poor Charles and offered her a million dollars to kill Drew.
39:06But you haven't said that you actually went through with it.
39:13Selina agreed to do the job.
39:17But in the end, I couldn't go through with it.
39:20She didn't get her million dollars?
39:23I never transferred it.
39:24I knew it.
39:25I didn't want a murder on my conscience.
39:28And besides, I didn't want Selina Wu to have that kind of power over me.
39:31Because you are a better man than Drew Cain.
39:34You have morals.
39:35You know the difference between right and wrong?
39:38Yeah, well, don't give me too much credit.
39:40That man could drop dead right now and I wouldn't shed one tear.
39:43But I realized that if I were responsible and then I got caught, that it would destroy my family.
39:53And I have a beautiful daughter and I now know that I have a child on the way.
39:58And I can't let Drew Cain or Selina Wu or anyone take that away from me.
40:06This whole thing with Gio, I mean, it is like, it's like it's tearing our family apart, Dad.
40:12I mean, Rocco was the shy kid.
40:16He never stepped out of line, you know?
40:20And then he gets alcohol poisoning, almost dies, and gets arrested all in a span of a few months.
40:26He's growing up.
40:29You knew he wasn't a state kid forever.
40:33Yeah, there's something else.
40:34We got in a big argument because I told him I wanted him to stay away from Gio and he kind of exploded on me.
40:47He said some things that really got pretty deep.
40:51It's nothing like the gut punch of hearing someone say out loud all the things you already know that are the worst parts of you.
41:04All the things you don't want other people to see.
41:08And then hearing it come from your own son.
41:11Sorry about that.
41:12I mean, I know how much that can hurt.
41:18Yeah, it hurts because it's true.
41:23I did leave him and his mom twice.
41:26But no matter how bad I feel about that, I can't give in to him because I just think he's got to stay away from Gio.
41:38Gio and Rocco have a real special bond.
41:42You're not going to be able to keep them apart.
41:43I don't even think that's the answer.
41:45I don't think that's the exact same thing to me.
41:50Like I told you before, you forget your badge.
41:54Think of this as a father.
41:59You have two sons.
42:02And they both need their dad.
42:07What brings you to my home uninvited?
42:10Well, good evening to you too, Mayor.
42:12Now, Councilman Boyle will act as my intermediary.
42:19I don't know why I'm surprised.
42:22I mean, it's always been clear that the two of you were working together.
42:27Okay, so, what orders will Ezra be delivering?
42:33Should I just resign, maybe push for a special election, then you can install Ezra as the mayor?
42:39No, no, no, no, no, don't be ridiculous.
42:44He lost.
42:46Poor Charles doesn't want him.
42:50I need you.
42:51You get things done.
42:54And what things are you expecting?
42:56All those details will come to light soon enough.
42:59Just know that Ezra here will communicate my instructions and you will then execute.
43:06People are going to be suspicious, son, if they see Ezra and me working together closely.
43:12Maybe at the beginning, sure, but these things are easily explained.
43:17Politics, strange bedfellows, that kind of thing.
43:22So, what do you say?
43:25Do we have a deal?
43:26тоже.
