00:00Rick.
00:05Unless you're here for medical attention, you should turn around and get back on that elevator.
00:09I just want to talk. I like how we left things off yesterday.
00:16Um, Dr. Jones, can you come here for a second?
00:19Sure. What do you need?
00:22A witness.
00:24Just in case I need to file a restraining order later.
00:27Rick. Long time no see.
00:31That's exactly what I was thinking, so I decided to come check in on you in person.
00:35Oh, and I'm supposed to believe you've been sitting here on the off chance that I might stop by.
00:40As it happens, I am meeting Carleen.
00:43I thought it was something like that.
00:45But still, I know you enjoy this establishment, so I visualized your arrival and...
00:51Here you are. Manifested.
00:53Yeah, well, then this is manifestly a coincidence.
00:58You call it fatal or coincidence, but whatever it is, it shouldn't be a requirement in order for us to cross paths.
01:05How about I take you out to dinner sometime?
01:09You can even invite your doctor, friend.
01:11Oh, well, Isaiah and I are no longer seeing each other.
01:15Even better.
01:15Jordan, where's your friend?
01:23Avery will appreciate you dropping off her costume.
01:27Happy to do it.
01:29She has worked so hard practicing for this recital.
01:32You're still good with me taking her home afterwards, right?
01:38I said I was.
01:41Great.
01:44Well, if that's all.
01:47Actually, uh...
01:49There's something else that you need to deal with.
01:53And what's that?
01:53You and Sid will.
01:59Mr. Sid will.
02:01Back again.
02:03Ms. Spencer, of course.
02:05The ambience, the cuisine, the company.
02:08Why would anyone need to stay away?
02:11I can't think of one reason.
02:13Speaking of reasons...
02:17Hmm.
02:18You ever wonder why I let you frequent my establishment after you held me at gunpoint?
02:25I assumed it was your forgiving heart.
02:31Or...
02:33For a favor that will be named later.
02:37Bingo.
02:38Director Cullum, please come in.
02:43Thank you for making the trip out to Spoon Island.
02:47Where's Sid will?
02:48My father isn't here.
02:49He's not the one that requested you.
02:51I did.
02:57Jack?
02:59Oh, hello, Jocelyn.
03:03A little cold for a run, isn't it?
03:05Not if you keep running.
03:08Certainly warmer than standing on the edge of a pier
03:11when a giant snowstorm is coming.
03:14Heard it's going to be pretty bad.
03:16Yeah, a few feet, they say.
03:21Okay.
03:23Why did you want to see me?
03:24I figured out how to search Windermere.
03:27Without anybody knowing.
03:28You have your orders and you have been benched.
03:56I know.
03:56That means that Sidwell and Windermere are outside your purview.
03:59Well, if you're not happy now, you're not going to be happy
04:02when I tell you I was at Windermere yesterday.
04:04What are you thinking about?
04:06Pascal could have recognized.
04:07Pascal is not there.
04:08He's in France.
04:09Okay?
04:10And I didn't sneak over there and break in.
04:12I walked through the front door.
04:14Lucas invited me.
04:16He's been wanting me to visit for a long time.
04:18You still disobeyed an order, Jocelyn.
04:21Sid didn't do anything.
04:22An opportunity fell in my lap and I took the necessary precautions.
04:27Now, do you want to hear what I found out or not?
04:32Go on.
04:34When I went to visit Lucas,
04:36Ava and Marco were also there
04:38and the subject of the catacombs came up.
04:41I was under the impression they were all sealed.
04:43Yes.
04:44Ava previously mentioned that the entrances to the catacombs had been sealed,
04:47but she hasn't lived there in a very long time.
04:50Who knows what Sidwell has done since he's moved in.
04:54Okay.
04:54So what you've discovered is that the catacombs that everyone knows are there
05:00may or may not have been sealed.
05:01No, there's more.
05:04Lucas mentioned wanting to explore the catacombs.
05:08Marco was not having it.
05:11How so?
05:12Well, at first he tried to play it off.
05:14You know, he was saying,
05:15no, they're cold, they're wet.
05:17And Lucas pushed again.
05:20And Marco said, word for word,
05:23absolutely not.
05:25Marco didn't want Lucas or anybody near that area.
05:29So what I've discovered is
05:32whatever project they're working on,
05:35I'm betting it's happening in the catacombs.
05:39I'm your father's partner, not yours.
05:43I'm also busy.
05:44And the less time I spent on Spoon Island, the better.
05:47I understand, but I wouldn't have requested this meeting if it weren't urgent.
05:51If it were urgent, Sidwell would be here.
05:54He's not.
05:56If he wants to meet, he can call me.
05:57With respect, I asked you here specifically because my father wouldn't be.
06:02And what exactly do you need to say to me that you can't say to your father?
06:07It's not a secret between us.
06:09In fact, I've already said this to him.
06:11He just won't hear it.
06:13It's long past time we discuss a subject that my father doesn't have a clear handle on.
06:18Sonny Corinthos.
06:19What about Jens?
06:23He's a client, Sonny, that's all.
06:26Really?
06:26I heard you've been spending a lot of time with him at Windermere.
06:30What business is it of yours if I am?
06:32What business?
06:34I'll tell you what business.
06:35We share a daughter.
06:36And Sidwell is not a good guy.
06:40And you and I were such saints, right?
06:43Jens is a businessman, like you, who happens to have excellent taste in art, like me.
06:50Trust me, Ava.
06:52This is not the man you want to be involved with.
06:55It sounds like you're the one who doesn't want me to be involved with this man.
07:00This has nothing to do with me.
07:02You just don't know what you're dealing with.
07:05Well, I've heard the rumors.
07:07And I do appreciate your concern.
07:09But you, more than anybody, knows that I can handle myself.
07:13And I will spend time with whomever I choose.
07:30How could I be of assistance, Miss Spencer?
07:33Well, now that Lucas is living at Windermere with Marco...
07:38Yeah, it is going wonderfully.
07:40Absolutely wonderfully.
07:41I already consider Lucas part of the family.
07:46That's great.
07:48But see, I was hoping...
07:49Yeah, and if you're hoping that I will assist you in sabotaging their relationship,
07:55well, this should come.
07:56It's no surprise to you that the answer is no.
07:59Why not?
08:03What's in it for you?
08:05My son's happiness, of course.
08:07Oh, come on.
08:09I don't see any leverage there.
08:11Not business-wise.
08:13And there certainly aren't many dollar signs.
08:16Well, I couldn't and wouldn't put a price on my son's happiness.
08:19I respect your brother and my son's relationship.
08:24And Lucas makes Marco very happy.
08:28And Marco, well, he's had a very difficult year, as you know.
08:34Yes.
08:35We're all very sorry for what happened to Natalia.
08:38Well, Natalia's death has been very hard on him.
08:43And it still is.
08:45I'm sure.
08:46You held me at gunpoint, and you kidnapped a pregnant woman,
08:53so why don't you pull back on the Benevolent Billionaire Act, okay?
08:57I think I heard that particular rumor, yes.
08:59You're a criminal, plain and simple.
09:02Lucas may believe that Marco isn't working for you, but I don't buy it.
09:06No, of course you don't.
09:08And I understand exactly where you're coming from, because estrangement hurts.
09:17And though neither of you want to admit it,
09:22Lucas is hurting as much as you are.
09:26Wow.
09:27You seem to be very familiar with Lucas and me.
09:32Well.
09:33You're also making a lot of presumptions.
09:37And if you'll forgive me, I'm going to make one more.
09:42I will help you reconcile your relationship with your brother.
09:47Because I believe that's what you want.
09:52That's very generous of you.
09:56What do you have in mind?
09:58First, some advice.
10:01If you want a relationship with your brother,
10:05make nice to my son.
10:08And to make up for that unfortunate incident with Sasha...
10:11I thought that was just a rumor.
10:13I will do everything in my power to help you.
10:22In fact, why don't you come to Windermere?
10:28Come.
10:29I will welcome you with open arms.
10:34Curtis, this is my friend and associate, Brick.
10:38Brick, I'd like you to meet...
10:39Curtis Ashford, head of Aurora Media.
10:41Your partner ain't crime.
10:44Michael Carinthos and I go way back.
10:47Nice to meet you.
10:48Nice to meet you.
10:49Michael's a good man.
10:50Indeed.
10:51Indeed he is.
10:53Well, look.
10:55Leave you tuned.
10:56Enjoy your evening.
10:57Enjoy that.
10:59If you ever require my assistance under any circumstances,
11:03you know my number.
11:04You know his number, do you?
11:14Please don't make me say this again.
11:18You are not good for me.
11:20I don't need you to save me anymore.
11:22If you have any respect for me,
11:24if you've ever cared about me at all,
11:26you will leave me alone.
11:27I'm sorry you got dragged into that.
11:36No, it's, um...
11:39I don't know what to say.
11:42I mean, there's really nothing to say,
11:43Brick just said everything...
11:46loud and clear.
11:47The WSB is aware that Faison settled on Spoon Island
12:02when he came to Port Charles in the 90s.
12:04And he returned many years later with Liesel Obrecht
12:07because they were holding Robin Scorpio Drake captive.
12:10So it is not impossible that Faison's associates
12:12are using his old haunt to bring to fruition his final project.
12:15All the more reason to conduct a search.
12:18And we will have the perfect opportunity
12:19when the storm hits tomorrow.
12:21When Sidwell and company are all hunkered down at home?
12:25Spoon Island has lost power during previous weather events.
12:28It's unlikely that Sidwell will want to stay on the island
12:31with just a generator for power.
12:33Everyone, Sidwell, Marco, Lucas, staff, security,
12:38and anyone who is working this project
12:40will most likely come back to the mainland
12:42and wait out the storm.
12:44It could work.
12:45Ava was here.
12:48I planted a few useful seeds against Sidwell.
12:53You think she'll listen?
12:55No, she never does.
12:56So that's why I told her to stay away from Sidwell.
13:00And I can tell you right now, after her conversation,
13:02she went straight to Sidwell.
13:04So do you think that's worth the risk?
13:06Well, there's no risk to Ava,
13:08but guess what?
13:11We have the advantage because Sidwell's distracted.
13:15I mean, Sidwell doesn't seem like the guy
13:17who kind of takes his eye off the ball.
13:20Maybe not if there's only one,
13:23but according to Laura,
13:24he has his eye on another shiny object.
13:27Lucy Coe is in the mix.
13:31Oh.
13:32So if Ava and Lucy are fighting over Sidwell,
13:36can you get any better distraction than that?
13:39Has he made any more demands?
13:43You mean since I, you know,
13:45soaked him the tears?
13:47No, but I'm telling you,
13:49sooner or later,
13:50he's going to want more.
13:51Okay, so how long
13:53are we going to let this go on?
13:55You know what?
13:56If I was the only one he was blackmailing,
13:58I'd take him out right now.
14:01But he has Laura in a corner.
14:04That changes, that changes things.
14:07What about Britt?
14:09Did she say anything about Sidwell?
14:13No, not to me.
14:14She was too busy ending things between us.
14:17What are you talking about?
14:18You guys were good.
14:19I mean, according to Britt,
14:21the same thing that's always been wrong.
14:24Carly.
14:27I am so sorry to keep you waiting.
14:29You, I would have waited a lot longer.
14:31Trust me.
14:32Yes.
14:33Especially since I saw you
14:34chatting away with Mr. Jen Sidwell.
14:36Everything okay there?
14:37Oh, yeah.
14:38Nothing I can't handle.
14:42So, okay.
14:44If you say so.
14:45I do.
14:46I would tell you.
14:47You know, I know we have our own friendship.
14:49Yes.
14:50A friendship I very much appreciate.
14:52Which is why, as your friend,
14:55I'll ask directly,
14:56what were you doing talking to Sidwell, Carly?
14:59My brother is seeing his son, Marco.
15:05Is this serious?
15:07Serious enough for them to move in together
15:09at Windermere.
15:11And I'm very concerned
15:12that my brother's going to get hurt.
15:14And I don't just mean romantically.
15:16I'm sorry.
15:17I'm a little late.
15:18I was just dropping something off
15:20for my daughter at Sonny's,
15:21and he wanted to have a little chat.
15:25Oh, I hope there was no
15:26co-parenting discord.
15:29Sonny, there's always discord.
15:31Whether it's a little or a lot,
15:33that depends on the day.
15:35Oh, excuse me.
15:36Could I have a martini, please?
15:39I'm in desperate need of a drink.
15:40Coming right up.
15:42By the way you ordered that martini,
15:48I would assume that today,
15:51Sonny was a lot.
15:55Indeed he was.
15:56And I hate to tell you this,
15:59but it was all your fault.
16:03My father has leverage over Sonny,
16:06and he's been using it
16:07to achieve his own goals.
16:09Hence the sale of his peers.
16:11To start, yes.
16:13But whatever we stand to gain from Sonny
16:16is outweighed by the risk we take
16:17leaving him alive.
16:19I take it your father disagrees
16:21with your assessment.
16:23My father underestimates Sonny.
16:24Corinthos has lasted this long
16:27and stayed on top for a reason.
16:30The more rope you give him,
16:31the more he has to hang you with.
16:34And this would have nothing to do
16:36with avenging your mother's death.
16:39Would I enjoy Sonny suffering
16:42for what he did to my mother?
16:44Who wouldn't?
16:46But there's no profit in that.
16:48What I'm talking about
16:49is the threat to our business.
16:52Then by all means, continue.
16:54Sonny has had a stranglehold
17:00over this port for decades.
17:02He's not going to just retire
17:03and let us do as we please.
17:06If history is any indication,
17:08Sonny is using my father's complacency
17:11to plot his retaliation right now.
17:14And you don't think your father knows that?
17:17My father thinks he's untouchable.
17:20Even from Sonny.
17:22But with what we have riding on this project,
17:24does it make sense
17:25to put it across the harbor
17:27from the one man
17:27who might potentially shut it down?
17:30Your father told me he had Sonny in line.
17:33That's because he thinks he does.
17:35But blackmail won't be enough
17:39to neutralize Sonny.
17:40My father says that
17:42you prize efficiency,
17:45make the efficient move,
17:47and take Sonny out of the equation for good.
17:50First we cut the power,
17:55then I'll cross over.
17:55Jocelyn, stop.
17:57We are not going to conduct a search,
17:58not with a polar vortex coming in,
18:00whatever they're calling it.
18:01We can't risk not doing a search.
18:03We have a very narrow time period here.
18:06We've got a snowstorm
18:07and no Pascal.
18:09If you're going to do a search at all,
18:10it needs to be in the next 48 hours.
18:12We don't have a team in place.
18:14You don't need a team.
18:15You have me.
18:16Absolutely not.
18:18Jocelyn, I appreciate the work you've done.
18:20It gives us a start,
18:21but the WSB will stage its own intervention
18:23on a timeline that isn't rushed.
18:25If you wait for an infiltration team,
18:27it could be too late.
18:28My decision is final.
18:30Because you won't risk
18:32your girlfriend's daughter, right?
18:39Okay, you have to get out of here right now.
18:41Cullum is on his way.
18:42He doesn't know anything about you,
18:43and I don't want him to.
18:45Okay, so we're clear.
18:46You want me to do nothing.
18:48That's exactly right.
18:50You're to await further instructions.
18:52You stay the hell away from Cullum
18:54and stay the hell off Spoon Island.
18:56That is an order.
18:58So, you're a friend and associate.
19:02Brick?
19:03Yes.
19:04Okay.
19:04He goes way back with Michael, right?
19:06So does that mean he's also...
19:08An associate of Sonny's?
19:10Indeed it does.
19:11He also has an extensive background in intelligence.
19:15So, communications and surveillance.
19:17If it's digital, he does it.
19:19And your association with him?
19:23I've worked with Brick a few times.
19:25He's a good man to know.
19:27All right.
19:29I will keep that in mind.
19:32Listen, Jordan, I don't mean to bring down the mood,
19:35but have you been to the hospital to see Drew yet?
19:39No.
19:39It's just...
19:42I haven't.
19:44And I feel really bad about it.
19:46Have you?
19:47I haven't either.
19:49When I heard about Drew's stroke,
19:51I was stunned.
19:54You don't hate me, but...
19:56I felt sorry for him.
19:57Well, I could never hate you for your compassion,
20:00even if I don't understand it.
20:02Which I do.
20:03Well, that's you being generous.
20:04I know how much Drew's changed.
20:08You know,
20:09I'm not even sure
20:11how I feel about what happened to Drew.
20:14I've been pretty preoccupied.
20:17Yeah, well, you've been dealing with a lot
20:20besides worrying about Drew's situation.
20:24Yeah.
20:24Do you remember?
20:28I came dangerously close to taking his life.
20:32Yeah.
20:33I remember.
20:35Well, as it turns out,
20:37there's no need to bother.
20:40I'm sorry that you had difficulty with Sonny
20:42and that I was the cause.
20:46As much as we both like to vex Sonny,
20:51you should watch your back.
20:52He's not a fan.
20:55That's such a pity,
20:57considering I hold him in such high esteem.
21:02I do owe you an apology, though.
21:04For what?
21:05Well, for Sonny taking out his frustrations
21:07with me on you.
21:09It's just what Sonny and I do.
21:13If it wasn't you,
21:14it'd be something else.
21:15Well, for a minute there,
21:16I thought I was special.
21:20I didn't say you weren't.
21:22It's just it can be problematic at times
21:25because Sonny is Avery's father
21:28and he thinks that gives him a say in my life.
21:32And he doesn't like me associating with you.
21:35Well,
21:37that is disappointing,
21:39but no surprise.
21:42I should say,
21:45I really hope
21:47our friendship can continue.
21:51But,
21:52if you need to take a step back for Avery's sake...
21:55and give Sonny the satisfaction...
21:57and give Sonny the satisfaction...
21:58a fat chance.
22:07Director Cullen.
22:09Thank you for meeting me here.
22:11I was already here,
22:12looking around.
22:15Chen Sidwell went through a lot of trouble
22:17to get ownership of these piers.
22:19And here I thought
22:22you were looking for Anna Devane
22:23and leaving Sidwell to me.
22:26There seems to be some confusion, Jack.
22:29I was running Europe
22:31before you even knew
22:32where the city of Port Charles was.
22:34That means
22:34I don't answer to you.
22:36You answer to me.
22:39So what can I do for you?
22:41I want to know
22:42what Sidwell's doing here
22:43in Port Charles.
22:44and how exactly
22:46Sonny Corinthos figures in.
22:51Rick called me
22:52and asked me to meet her
22:53at Bobby's.
22:56And when I got there,
22:57she was in the middle of a fight
22:58with Carly.
23:00Not the first time
23:01that has happened.
23:02No, and you know,
23:03I tried to calm things down,
23:04but Britton wouldn't let me.
23:05She just kept going.
23:07You know,
23:07saying things were over between us
23:09and to stay away from her.
23:10And then she stormed out.
23:12Well, I'm sorry to hear that,
23:13but you know,
23:14I know how Carly can get.
23:16Yeah, the thing is,
23:17I don't think this one
23:19was on Carly.
23:20Are you sure about that?
23:21Because I don't know
23:22if you've noticed,
23:22but Carly can be
23:23very possessive of you.
23:25And it's just a matter of time
23:27before those two clashed.
23:29Yeah, but Carly said
23:31that Britt picked this fight
23:32out of nowhere.
23:34Is that the first time
23:34that's happened?
23:35Probably not.
23:37But Carly said
23:38it felt like it was,
23:40you know,
23:41it was forced or staged.
23:44And that had to have been
23:45for my benefit.
23:56Yeah.
23:57You need to get to Windermere
23:58right now.
23:59I have patience.
24:00Colm just left.
24:02You want me to let him know
24:03that you're being a problem?
24:04I'm on the way.
24:12Is the code clear?
24:14Jason took off.
24:17And for what it's worth,
24:19I don't think a restraining order
24:22would be necessary.
24:23Yeah, probably not.
24:25Um, could you check in
24:27on Mrs. Driver
24:28in room 403 for me?
24:30I need to leave early.
24:32Okay.
24:32My mother's having
24:33car trouble,
24:34so she asked me
24:35to pick up some supplies
24:36before the storm hits.
24:38Britt, it's fine.
24:40I'm on it.
24:42Thanks.
24:44You know,
24:45I'm probably gonna
24:45regret asking this,
24:48but
24:48are you okay?
24:51That whole thing
24:52with Jason,
24:53that looked rough.
24:55Yeah, I'll be,
24:56I'll be fine.
24:58It's just,
24:59you know how
24:59sometimes you can tell
25:01where things are headed
25:02and
25:02it isn't always
25:04a good place.
25:05Remember who
25:06you are talking to.
25:08Well, yeah,
25:08as Brad's ex,
25:10you know that
25:10sometimes you have to
25:11call it quits
25:13before anyone gets hurt
25:14and by anyone,
25:15I mean me.
25:16Oh, you have to
25:16take care of yourself.
25:18No matter how much
25:19you care about someone
25:20or
25:21even love them,
25:23sometimes
25:24they're better
25:25left off in the past.
25:28Exactly.
25:29Yeah.
25:30And Jason's a hard guy
25:31to turn down.
25:33But I just have to,
25:35you know,
25:35I can't let him
25:36drag me down.
25:37Not anymore,
25:38you know,
25:38so I just have to like
25:39hold my chin high,
25:41eyes forward,
25:42and be grateful
25:43for what I have.
25:47When Lucas told me
25:48he was moving in
25:49with Marco,
25:49I blew it.
25:51I just blew it.
25:52Before
25:52or after
25:54he told you
25:54they'd be loving
25:55that window man.
25:57Why does it matter?
25:58If it's after,
25:59I could possibly
26:00frame it as reasonable.
26:03It wouldn't have mattered.
26:06Lucas had already
26:07made up his mind.
26:08So what did you say?
26:10I said a lot,
26:12and I thought a lot
26:12of bad things
26:13and judgmental things,
26:14and it just made
26:15Lucas dig his heels
26:16in even more.
26:18Remind you of anyone?
26:20Everyone we know?
26:21No.
26:23But look,
26:23Lucas is a grown man.
26:25He's more than capable
26:25of making his own decisions.
26:26I know.
26:27But it'd be one thing
26:28if he were moving out there
26:29with just Marco.
26:31But Sidwell is there too,
26:32so there's my brother
26:33out on Spoon Island
26:34with Marco and Sidwell.
26:35It's just plain dangerous.
26:37Okay,
26:37but how does this circle around
26:40to you chatting with Sidwell?
26:43Let's just say
26:44he owes me a favor.
26:46Got it.
26:46You went to him
26:48for help to break up
26:49Marco and Lucas.
26:50No.
26:52I thought about it.
26:54Do you think that's bad?
26:57As usual,
26:57your heart's in the right place.
27:00But Sidwell is not
27:01an ally you want in this,
27:02or anything for that matter.
27:05That man, Carly,
27:06he doesn't do anything
27:08that's not in his own
27:08self-interest.
27:10Not a thing.
27:10as much fun
27:13as it is
27:13to stick it to Sonny,
27:14and it really is fun.
27:17I also,
27:18I really value you
27:21as a client.
27:22Ah,
27:23as a client.
27:24Of course.
27:26You have no idea
27:27how gratifying it is
27:29to work with someone
27:30with such
27:30great taste.
27:33What can I say?
27:34I really enjoy
27:35explicit things.
27:36I also want to say that
27:39I won't be offended.
27:42You know,
27:42if you don't want to work
27:44exclusively
27:44with the Jerome Gallery.
27:46Oh,
27:46oh,
27:46please.
27:47Life is way too short
27:48to work with anyone
27:49that's less than excellent.
27:51And you,
27:52you are charming.
27:55You're shrewd.
27:57And,
27:57um,
28:00beautiful.
28:02Oh,
28:02that's so kind.
28:04And,
28:04you've undoubtedly heard
28:08the unfortunate
28:10rumors about me,
28:12and yet,
28:14you're still here.
28:18I'm still here.
28:20I'm so glad
28:21you don't scare easily.
28:23Never have,
28:24never will.
28:27Sid will somehow
28:28manage to buy
28:29the piers
28:30from Sonny Corinthos.
28:31The man who controls
28:34the eastern seaboard
28:35willingly gave up
28:36his own transport hub?
28:37I don't think so.
28:39I want to know
28:39what role
28:40Corinthos is playing
28:41in Sidwell's operation.
28:43None.
28:44There's nothing
28:45but bad blood
28:46between them.
28:48I know all about
28:49Sidwell's business
28:50in Africa.
28:51Yeah,
28:52well,
28:53their relationship
28:54has not improved
28:55since Sidwell
28:55took up residence
28:56in Fort Charles.
28:57I mean,
28:57Sonny blamed Sidwell
28:59for the fire
28:59at his daughter's
29:00place of business.
29:00Right.
29:02Charlie's boat.
29:04Yeah.
29:06And there's been
29:06nothing since.
29:08Nothing on our radar.
29:11And that's not
29:12suspicious.
29:14Well,
29:15everything Sidwell
29:16does is suspicious,
29:17but the purchase
29:18of the piers
29:19seems legitimate.
29:21The mayor
29:21even gave her
29:22seal of approval.
29:23Bottom line,
29:24Sonny doesn't know
29:25anything about
29:26Sidwell's operations.
29:28Is there any chance
29:29that your involvement
29:30with Corinthos's
29:31ex-wife
29:32is coloring
29:33your judgment?
29:35Are you avoiding
29:35investigating
29:36Corinthos
29:37because you don't
29:37want trouble
29:38with your girlfriend?
29:42The only reason
29:44I'm seeing
29:44Carly Spencer
29:45is to get
29:47the information.
29:49That's how I know
29:49Sonny Corinthos
29:50isn't involved.
29:52Good.
29:54Keep an eye
29:55on the situation.
30:01When I first
30:03heard about
30:03Drew's stroke,
30:05I finally realized
30:08that I can put
30:09my anger
30:10toward him
30:11behind me
30:12and just move on.
30:14Because he was
30:15immobilized.
30:16I'd be lying
30:17if I said
30:17I wasn't relieved
30:18that he couldn't
30:18come from my family
30:19anymore.
30:20and that's
30:21my focus
30:22now,
30:22family.
30:24I know
30:24there's nothing
30:25more important
30:25to you.
30:28So,
30:28um,
30:29any word
30:30from Portia?
30:32Yeah,
30:33Portia and I
30:34are,
30:35we're in a
30:36holding pattern.
30:38I can't
30:39pressure her
30:40to take
30:40the paternity
30:41test
30:41and she's
30:43going to take
30:44it when she's
30:44good and ready
30:44and she's not
30:45ready now.
30:45so,
30:46all I can
30:48do is wait.
30:52There are
30:52quite a few
30:53rumors about me
30:54too.
30:55I'm sure I
30:56don't need to
30:56tell you that.
30:58I don't care
31:00what other
31:00people think,
31:01Ava.
31:02I form my
31:03own opinions.
31:04I appreciate
31:05that.
31:08And I am
31:09truly sorry
31:10that you're
31:10having difficulty
31:11with Sonny.
31:12Look,
31:12if there's
31:13anything I can
31:14do.
31:14Carly's
31:16skulking
31:16around here
31:16somewhere,
31:17right?
31:18And she'll
31:18tell Sonny
31:19about our
31:19meeting,
31:19if she hasn't
31:20texted him
31:20already.
31:23Well,
31:23in that case,
31:24you know
31:24what?
31:26I am
31:26finding the
31:27ambience here
31:28at Metro
31:28Court lacking.
31:32Why don't
31:32we repair
31:33to Windermere?
31:37I think
31:37that's a
31:38fabulous idea.
31:40And it'll
31:40give Sonny
31:41something to
31:42really be
31:43angry about.
31:44it's been
31:46happening
31:46ever since
31:47I found
31:47her
31:47from the
31:47five
31:48poppies.
31:48Every
31:48time she
31:49gets close
31:49to confiding
31:50in me,
31:51she just
31:51she pushes
31:52me away.
31:53But you
31:53gotta understand
31:54why she's
31:55concerned
31:55after everything
31:57she's been
31:57through with
31:58her,
31:58you,
31:59Carter.
31:59No,
31:59I get
32:00that,
32:00but I
32:00thought that
32:01she faked
32:01this fight
32:02to end
32:03things for
32:03good,
32:03so I
32:04wasn't
32:04sure.
32:04I went
32:05to GH
32:05to talk
32:06to her
32:06just to
32:07see how
32:08she would
32:08respond.
32:09How'd it
32:10go?
32:10she
32:10threatened
32:11me
32:11with
32:11restraining
32:12order.
32:12So Britt
32:13is spooked?
32:14Yeah.
32:15So here's
32:15what we
32:16know.
32:16Britt
32:17was working
32:17with Dalton,
32:18she had
32:18access to
32:19his lab,
32:19and Sidwell
32:20had Dalton
32:21killed.
32:22Or maybe
32:23Sidwell
32:24killed him
32:24himself
32:25to keep
32:26Britt
32:27in line.
32:28That's
32:28possible,
32:29but we
32:30know
32:30that Sidwell,
32:31or whoever
32:32he's working
32:32with,
32:33is coercing
32:33Britt to
32:34finish
32:34what Dalton
32:36started.
32:38He got
32:38here as
32:39fast as
32:39I could.
32:43What do
32:43you want?
32:45Your lab
32:45is ready.
32:46Let's get
32:47to work.
32:49Fantastic.
32:51Lead the
32:51way.
32:55Is
32:56Mrs.
32:56Driver
32:56still
32:57waiting?
33:00No.
33:01Dr.
33:01Navarro
33:02followed up
33:02with her.
33:05In that
33:05case,
33:07I'm done
33:08for the
33:08day.
33:09I have
33:10somewhere
33:10I need
33:10to be.
33:11I just,
33:12things have
33:13been hard,
33:13you know?
33:14You know,
33:15when you,
33:16I feel like
33:17I can't be
33:18truthful with
33:18the people
33:18I love,
33:19and what's
33:20worse is
33:20it seems
33:20like they
33:21feel that
33:21way about
33:22me.
33:23That is
33:23hard.
33:24And it's
33:24really
33:24difficult
33:25when you
33:26feel this
33:26distance
33:27with your
33:27family.
33:28I mean,
33:28the people
33:28that you
33:29love most.
33:32You don't
33:33want to hear
33:33all of this.
33:35I do.
33:36If you
33:36want to
33:36talk about
33:36it,
33:37I'm always
33:37here for
33:38my friends,
33:38especially
33:39you.
33:39I know.
33:41And you
33:41know if
33:42you ever
33:42need me
33:42for anything,
33:43I'm always
33:45here to
33:45just say
33:45the word.
33:47I know.
33:47I do.
33:48I know
33:48that,
33:49yeah.
33:51And I
33:51know what
33:52I need
33:52to do.
33:52and I
33:55have
33:55every
33:55intention
33:56of
33:56following
33:56through,
33:57but please
33:57rest assured
33:58it has
33:58nothing to
33:59do with
34:00Jen's
34:00Sidwell.
34:02Rick,
34:03I didn't
34:04know you
34:04were in
34:04town.
34:05Yeah,
34:05Brennan.
34:05It's been a
34:06minute since
34:06L.A.
34:07Yes,
34:07it is.
34:07And of
34:08course,
34:08me being in
34:08Port Charles,
34:09I couldn't
34:09be here
34:10without
34:10seeing
34:10her.
34:11Well,
34:12I do
34:12know the
34:12feeling.
34:13Can I
34:14buy you
34:14a drink?
34:15Nah,
34:15I gotta
34:15go,
34:16but it's
34:17good seeing
34:17you.
34:18Take care
34:20yourself.
34:20Yeah,
34:21thanks for
34:21the talk.
34:22All right,
34:22always.
34:23Just receive.
34:24Sir.
34:29So?
34:30So?
34:32Should I
34:32be jealous?
34:34Absolutely.
34:40Now,
34:40here's a call
34:41I wasn't
34:41expecting.
34:43To what do
34:43I get
34:48where
34:49Portia's
34:49coming from
34:50and I
34:51respect her
34:51decision.
34:52Good.
34:53She's gonna
34:53do what
34:54she wants
34:54to do
34:54when she
34:55wants to
34:55do it.
34:56But?
34:58But I
34:58feel like
34:59I have a
34:59right to
35:00know if
35:00she's
35:01carrying
35:01my child.
35:02Well,
35:02of course
35:02you do.
35:04But either
35:04way,
35:04it's gonna
35:05have a
35:05profound
35:05effect
35:06on your
35:06future.
35:09On
35:09our
35:09future.
35:13Oh,
35:17Brick
35:18flirts
35:18with me.
35:19It's
35:19what we
35:19do.
35:21Well,
35:22I'm
35:22glad to
35:23hear that
35:23I don't
35:23have to
35:23fight
35:24for
35:24your
35:24affection.
35:25Having
35:26you by
35:26my
35:26side,
35:27it
35:27means
35:29a lot.
35:31Sidwell
