00:00You're always perfect, definitely not me.
00:04I don't ever remember saying you were perfect.
00:08No.
00:09It seemed kind of implied, was it not?
00:13Oh.
00:16That's you.
00:17You're a good man.
00:18You always have been.
00:21I try.
00:23You don't need to be modest.
00:26You came for money.
00:28You didn't have to work.
00:30But you chose to support yourself.
00:33And then you pick a career that put yourself in danger to help people.
00:38You sound like such a boy scout.
00:39And what is so wrong with that?
00:41Like, tonight, the way that you helped me with Charlotte.
00:47Nathan, I don't know what I would have done without you.
00:54I appreciate that.
00:58And there's nothing more that I want than to be the man that you see me as.
01:03Up until now, I thought you were thoroughly reprehensible.
01:28Only up until now.
01:31I must be losing my touch.
01:34You married Nina, which means you have terrible taste in women.
01:37Not to mention you kept a daughter away from her mother, which is awful.
01:42And your reputation.
01:44Just another evil Casabine.
01:46What changed your mind?
01:48The look on your face.
01:49When you were about to go out into the storm.
01:53You were going to save Charlotte or you were going to die trying.
01:58Turns out you're not who I thought you were.
02:00Well, you're not exactly who I thought you were either.
02:10You should sleep in the guest room tonight.
02:14Safer in the attic?
02:16Just the two of us.
02:17What if someone shows up?
02:21Who?
02:23The roads are closed.
02:24We're officially snowed in.
02:26If you want to freeze in the attic, you're more than welcome.
02:28No, no, no, no, no, no.
02:29The guest room will be a welcome change.
02:34I'm going to let you get some rest.
02:38Hey.
02:41What's your hurry?
02:42I'm good to find you guys here.
03:01What's going on?
03:12Hello.
03:13Long wee girlfriend in search of missing boyfriend.
03:16What's taking so long?
03:17I picked up some reading material.
03:21It's a real page turner.
03:32Ow!
03:34Oh, ouch.
03:36What happened?
03:37Is it a baby?
03:38No, no.
03:39I stubbed my toe.
03:40Oh, no.
03:42Oh, why is that so bad?
03:43What are you doing here?
03:45Well, I came to get a drink of water because I was thirsty.
03:50And you didn't turn on the lights because?
03:52Because I didn't want to disturb you.
03:55Great job of that I did, huh?
03:57Okay, well, are you okay?
03:59I think so.
04:00Oh.
04:03You had a nice pack.
04:05Yeah.
04:12Except Joss must have forgotten to put it back when she last used it.
04:16Oh.
04:17Well, that's okay.
04:20I can just open the window and dangle my foot out.
04:24You know that I would love to see.
04:25Jason, you saved my life tonight.
04:34You deserve the truth.
04:37I'm just really scared.
04:40You're really scared of what?
04:42What they'll do if they find out I told you.
04:45When I say these guys are powerful...
04:46You're talking about what, Sidwell?
04:50He's one of them.
04:52They're not the most dangerous.
04:55So you thought you were going to be at a party tonight...
04:58And instead you're playing chess with a stranger.
05:04It's not a bad way to pass the time until the storm's over.
05:09Nice try distracting me, but, um...
05:11You're not the person you pretend to be.
05:23You're not the person you pretend to be.
05:41Nathan, we can't.
06:05Cody, that's private.
06:08I asked you if I could read it.
06:09And did I say yes?
06:10You didn't say no.
06:12You just got me upstairs as quick as you could and distracted me with sex.
06:18I didn't hear you complaining.
06:19Yeah.
06:20You probably never will.
06:23How much did you read?
06:26Enough.
06:27Enough to know that you're not mad at me for supposedly violating your privacy.
06:32You're mad because now I know what you really think about me.
06:38Sorry.
06:38For what?
06:40Well, for interrupting your regularly scheduled disdain for me.
06:45If you think that I like being mad at you...
06:48And really, mad isn't even the right word.
06:54Disappointed.
06:55I don't know.
06:57Uh, more like worn out.
07:00And tired.
07:02And on that note...
07:04No, no, Trina, honey, honey.
07:05Where are you going?
07:06To bed.
07:07We were just getting somewhere, though.
07:10Trina, honey, please.
07:11Talk to me.
07:12Do you really want to know how I'm feeling?
07:16Yes, I do.
07:18Honestly, I don't think I can ever forgive you for what you've done to my dad and our family.
07:24So who's working with Sidwell?
07:26His name is Ross Cullum.
07:30He showed up in Port Charles around the time of our date.
07:34And he demanded I end things with you.
07:38Or he would.
07:39That's why you picked a fight with Carly.
07:43But I knew him before that, though.
07:45Cullum was the first person I saw when I woke up at the Five Poppies.
07:49The only reason I'm alive is because he and Sidwell need me to complete my father's final project.
07:57Okay, so Cullum, Sidwell's partner, or what?
08:00Worse.
08:01Worse? What could be worse than those two working together?
08:04Cullum working for the WSB.
08:06Okay, I'll bite.
08:09Who am I pretending to be?
08:12A ditzy college girl.
08:15But a ditzy college girl doesn't beat me at chess.
08:20Says who? Society?
08:22Do you disagree?
08:24I think that blonde college girls who frequent frat parties get a bad rap.
08:30But I got your queen, didn't I?
08:34Certainly did.
08:37It's really not a big deal.
08:39My dad taught me to play when I was younger.
08:42He called it a rite of passage.
08:45What else would surprise me about you?
08:48I am an environmental science major.
08:52But I used to be in pre-med.
08:56You're an interesting girl, Jocelyn.
09:01I wonder what other secrets you're keeping.
09:06Okay, let's not get crazy.
09:07It's just one night in the guest room.
09:09No, I mean, thank you for understanding about Charlotte.
09:15Lulu's your cousin.
09:16You've overcome a lot of hostility to put me up.
09:23And put up with you.
09:25Well, I appreciate it.
09:26Just to be clear, I'm not excusing all the things that you've done.
09:31Nor should you.
09:33I'm able to separate Valentin the man from Valentin the father.
09:37I want to be better for Charlotte.
09:38I know you do.
09:45You know, if this goes as planned, your daughter will be safe and I'll be back with mine.
09:52I think we deserve that.
09:57But I do have to ask.
09:58Does it really not bother you that this all ends with Jack Brennan in my old salad's time hour?
10:05Oh, my God.
10:07The roads are closed, she says.
10:08We're snowed in, she says.
10:09Both are true.
10:11And yet, the doorbell.
10:22So you're positive.
10:27Call him as WSB.
10:29I'm more than positive.
10:31That's how Sidwell stays ahead of the bureau.
10:34Because he has someone on the inside.
10:37Not only that.
10:40Colin met with Rocco twice.
10:42Under the pretense of questioning him about breaking into Dalton's lab.
10:46He just wants you to know that he can get to Rocco.
10:48When he was in my office, he straight up told me he would send Rocco to Steinmar if I don't cooperate.
10:57Jason, it...
10:58I know, I get it.
11:01It would kill me if anything happened to that kid.
11:06Or to you.
11:10So that's why you've been so distant.
11:15Didn't know what else to do, except push everyone away.
11:18The main character in your book is based on me, isn't he?
11:27Not entirely.
11:29He works in the stables, Molly.
11:32His name is Casey.
11:33That was a placeholder name.
11:35And the rest of it?
11:37What was it?
11:40Casey was six feet of gorgeous stupidity.
11:44A monument of wasted potential.
11:47Cody.
11:47Golden retriever energy would be an insult to the species.
11:51Books were decorations to him.
11:53Thoughts were burdens, really?
11:56That isn't you.
11:58Yeah.
11:59Yeah, sounds nothing like me.
12:00Casey the stable boy.
12:01First Christina sends this to my agent without my permission.
12:03Now you read it without my permission.
12:05Nobody was supposed to read this.
12:07Okay, look.
12:08Maybe Christina shouldn't have done what she did,
12:09but that doesn't change what you wrote.
12:11And I can't unread what I read.
12:13Okay, then can you at least read it in the spirit it was intended, please?
12:17Oh, it's a joke?
12:18Yeah, sure.
12:19I'll just laugh it off and move on.
12:22Oh, what do you mean?
12:23What's going on?
12:25I recognize your scarf and coat drying up at the main house.
12:27I figured you guys would be here.
12:29Well, I needed to talk to my father,
12:31and Danny and I tried to sneak off to Carly's,
12:33but the snow was so bad we had to turn around.
12:35Yeah, we couldn't even make it up to the main house.
12:37We had to crash here.
12:38But I still really need to talk to my father.
12:40Danny knows that your dad is staying at Carly's?
12:45I helped Charlotte get over there to see him a few weeks ago.
12:48Why didn't you guys tell me?
12:58Come on.
13:01It's Jack.
13:02Get upstairs.
13:07Okay.
13:13Jack.
13:14Hi.
13:14Come in.
13:15I was starting to think that you weren't home.
13:16Oh, my gosh.
13:17I'm so sorry.
13:18I dozed off.
13:20I can't believe you came all the way out in this.
13:23How are the roads?
13:24Yeah.
13:25Snowy and slick, even after the plows,
13:27but just wanted to make sure you and Donna were okay.
13:31Donna's at Sonny's.
13:34Oh, I thought you left earlier to pick her up.
13:37Yeah, I did.
13:39I was just such an idiot.
13:40I got there, and I messed the dates up.
13:43Oh.
13:43Yeah.
13:44Oh, God.
13:46Yeah, I was hoping to be chivalrous
13:47and take care of both of you.
13:49Oh.
13:50It's just me.
13:53And yet you're drinking for two?
13:54I don't know.
14:24It's not like this is a shock between the excitement of the storm and being stranded here and the alcohol.
14:31Obviously, we weren't thinking clearly.
14:34That's all.
14:36It's your recess, friend.
14:39Maybe for you.
14:41It's a lot more than that for me.
14:43I wanted to kiss you for a long time.
14:46Nathan, don't do this.
14:48You helped me adapt to this new life.
14:50You guided me through being a father and the days that I saw you.
14:55Were lighter.
14:56They were less empty.
14:58Okay, so yeah, so maybe the storm gave me the courage to do it.
15:00But I didn't kiss you because of the storm or the booze.
15:02I kissed you because I wanted to.
15:08Oh.
15:09Oh?
15:12Lulu.
15:13You got to give me something here.
15:16Say something.
15:17Like what?
15:19Like Maxie would kill me if she knew I had feelings for you too?
15:22It's absolutely your right to never forgive me.
15:33But you think I should.
15:36I think you're old enough to understand that adults have complicated relationships.
15:42And sometimes marriages don't work out.
15:44And sometimes they don't work out twice.
15:46That's right.
15:47You know what?
15:49You're about to be an older sister.
15:53Do you remember?
15:53That's all you used to want.
15:56Things are a little different now.
15:58You were married to Taggart.
16:01And I thought that he was my father.
16:04And we...
16:05We were still speaking.
16:07We're speaking now.
16:08Barely.
16:10I can't stand it.
16:11What?
16:15What?
16:19This baby is coming into the world the same way I did.
16:24Surrounded by lies.
16:27I'm really sorry that you're upset.
16:31We wouldn't even be having this conversation if you hadn't invaded my privacy.
16:35I only wanted to read your manuscript.
16:38Because I'm blown away by you.
16:40And proud.
16:41I wanted to celebrate your accomplishment with you.
16:45Because I think the world of you, Molly.
16:49And I think you're amazing, which is apparently the opposite of how you see me.
16:54Okay.
16:56Parts of Casey might be inspired by you, but he's a fictional character.
17:02He is not you.
17:03Not even close.
17:04Seems like it to me.
17:07Also, I wrote that book a long time ago.
17:10I started it a long time ago.
17:12You know, when things were not so good between us.
17:15Remember being stuck on the roof of GH?
17:17Or how rude you were to me after you'd been arrested at Charlie's?
17:21I was just trying to be nice.
17:23That's where my head was at then.
17:24But if you had read more than a couple chapters, you would see how much Casey changes.
17:32He falls in love with Maddie, and she starts to see him differently.
17:36They both grow and evolve.
17:38It's really touching.
17:41It's just like Pride and Prejudice.
17:43Mr. Darcy starts off super cold and arrogant, and then he and Elizabeth fall in love.
17:49Even if you don't see me like that now, you did before.
17:51What am I supposed to do with that?
17:53You realize that that's how life works.
17:56People and their opinions change over time.
17:59Okay, well, how are your readers even supposed to accept that Maddie could ever fall for a...
18:05What was he?
18:07Oh, that's right.
18:08A stampeding ox.
18:09You're only focusing on the negative things.
18:13He's so many positive qualities, too.
18:15He's good with kids.
18:17And Maddie's family.
18:19He's handsome and strong.
18:21Nobody makes Maddie laugh like he does.
18:23Exactly, Molly.
18:25He's a joke.
18:28And apparently so am I.
18:31You feel the same?
18:34I feel something.
18:39But it doesn't matter because of Maxie.
18:43And if she were here, none of this would have happened.
18:45I get that.
18:46I do.
18:46But she's not here.
18:48Okay, Lulu?
18:49And it did happen.
18:50And it happened because the feelings are real.
18:51And we can't ignore that they exist.
18:53We can't ignore Maxie, either.
18:54She's my best friend.
18:56I know that.
18:57And I just kissed her husband.
18:59No, you kissed the man that she was married to seven years ago.
19:03Okay, and it was brutal for me to come back here and find that she had moved on with her life, but she had.
19:08She made a family.
19:10With James and Georgie and Bailey Lou and Spinelli.
19:15It was only because you were gone.
19:18Not because she stopped loving you.
19:20And I love her, too.
19:22And I will for forever.
19:24But I never would have wanted her to mourn forever.
19:27Of course not.
19:28There's a part of me that wonders if I need to move on with my life, too.
19:31Because the life that I had is a memory.
19:34And I'm grateful that I have it.
19:35But I can't live in a memory.
19:40Believe me, I know.
19:43I've just...
19:45I thought about Maxie.
19:50Waking up and realizing you're here.
19:52Nathan, it would crush her if she ever found out about this.
20:02Um, Jason was going to come by, so I poured us a drink.
20:06And then I turned on the news, and I saw how bad the roads were, so I text him and I told him not to risk it.
20:11I would have told you the same thing, by the way.
20:14Oh, well, then I'm glad I didn't tell you my plans.
20:17And besides, I trained in Moscow.
20:18This is nothing.
20:19Oh, okay.
20:20Well, here's to a cozy evening.
20:27So we, uh, we have a place to ourselves.
20:33We do.
20:43I know you would do anything to protect Rocco.
20:46So can you just tell me how this, this whole thing started working with Sidwell and Colton?
20:54Everything that happened before I left was real.
20:58I fought Heather Weber to protect Jocelyn.
21:01I thought I was dying in my mother's arms.
21:03But then I woke up and got myself at this gorgeous resort.
21:07Five poppies.
21:08When I came to, Colton was there.
21:12He laid it out for me.
21:14They had faked my death to spare my mother the pain of watching me deteriorate.
21:19And they had this medication, which would arrest my Huntington's.
21:24Okay, so they're going to bankroll your medication, put you up in paradise in exchange for what?
21:30I would research cold fusion and complete my father's final project.
21:38If you'll excuse me, I'm going to check the other rooms for any storm damage.
21:43Great.
21:44I'll be here.
21:44I'll be here.
22:14For my muse.
22:21Si.
22:29Daphne.
22:35Anna.
22:38I'm kind of surprised you're taking this so hard.
22:41Don't you get it?
22:47I care about you, Molly.
22:51Your opinion really matters to me.
22:54I mean, these are the worst things I think about myself.
23:01And now, not only do I know that you think them too, you'd put them out for other people to read.
23:08That, I mean, that hurts.
23:10I'm sorry.
23:12I really, really am.
23:16You have to believe me.
23:17The character changes.
23:19Yes, I know.
23:19You said that.
23:20But he starts the way that I did in your eyes.
23:23I always knew that people viewed me as a clown.
23:30But until this, I didn't know you were one of them.
23:34I'm not.
23:36Cody, that is not how I view you.
23:39But I understand why this goes so deep for you.
23:46It goes deep for me too.
23:48I haven't written anything in years.
23:51After I lost the baby and ended things with TJ.
23:55Things were so bad between Christina and I.
23:58I needed it.
23:59Writing was my only escape.
24:00It was like a gift.
24:01And I'm glad you had it.
24:07Well, I was too at the time.
24:12It's totally ruined now.
24:13I'm never going to look at this novel and think about how it got me through a terrible time.
24:18Or how my agent loved it and thinks it could be published.
24:23I'm only going to think about how it hurt you.
24:26And that hurts me just as much.
24:30Hmm.
24:31My phone has the worst timing.
24:36Work?
24:37What else?
24:40I'll be right back.
24:42Okay.
24:46Agent Brennan.
24:52We weren't trying to exclude you.
24:54At all.
24:55It's just lying about this stuff to Mom.
24:57I don't love it, but it doesn't eat the way at me like it does you.
25:01I hate it.
25:04Exactly.
25:05And I was already asking you not to tell her that I'd seen my dad.
25:08If we told you about going to visit Valentin, you wouldn't only be keeping a secret from Lulu.
25:13You'd be lying to her.
25:15And I love you, but you're a terrible liar.
25:18That's not true.
25:19Well, I couldn't...
25:19You suck at it.
25:21And that's a good quality.
25:23It's just, I didn't want to put you in a tough position.
25:25Oh, I'm fine with it.
25:27Okay?
25:28You sure?
25:30We'll figure this out.
25:32The three of us.
25:33Doing what Sidwell and Colin wanted seemed like a better deal than slowly dying of Huntington's.
26:00So I agreed.
26:04And to hear them tell it, I'd be helping to benefit humanity.
26:09With cold fusion?
26:10By the time I realized their goals weren't so altruistic, it was too late for me to walk away.
26:17Did they threaten you?
26:19Eventually.
26:20When I started slow walking the research, they slowed the flow of medication.
26:26Jason, I can't tell you how much it helps.
26:29My symptoms are virtually undetectable when I'm on it.
26:31You can't get this medication anywhere else.
26:34My father developed it for himself, but he was too far gone by the time it became ready for trial.
26:39I mean, even now it's still experimental.
26:41But so far it's working.
26:45I had a price and they paid it.
26:50So when I offered to help recreate the formula, you said no.
26:54Because it was too risky.
27:04Sidwell murdered Henry Dalton.
27:10Good read.
27:11Feelings are inconvenient to their best.
27:21And at worst, could hurt the people we care about.
27:26Not just Maxie.
27:30Dante.
27:34Dante's my best friend, just like Maxie's yours.
27:36Dante and I, we've settled into the status quo.
27:49If we get along fine and we co-parent well.
27:54What about after you woke up?
27:58I was definitely confused about where my heart was.
28:03Fusion's the name of the game right now.
28:06But once everything settled, it became clear.
28:20Too much time had passed.
28:25Dante and I, we've grown apart.
28:30Even so, if anything were ever to happen between us...
28:33And I saved it.
28:34I know.
28:35But Dennis did not teach us as much as it would Maxie.
28:39And it would hurt the people we love.
28:43Including our kids.
28:51I did enjoy that kiss, though.
28:53Dude, that was a good kiss.
28:57But you're probably right.
28:58That's probably better for everybody if we just let it go.
29:06At least we both know the truth.
29:09About what it was.
29:10I'm glad we've at least got to say it out loud.
29:16Me too.
29:18You gotta believe me, man.
29:19We really weren't trying to shut you out.
29:23I get it.
29:24And I know I'm not a great liar.
29:27But for now, we tell each other everything.
29:29Okay?
29:31Yeah, okay.
29:32You guys want to head to the main house?
29:33I don't know.
29:36I think we got everything we need here.
29:37We even got the stuff for s'mores.
29:40I tried one again.
29:42They're not that bad.
29:45Told you.
29:47Pid me up with one of those marshmallows.
29:48Yeah.
29:55If I thought those things about you, that you're some colossal joke, why would I be with you?
30:00I don't know.
30:01I don't know, maybe because you're bored, or I don't know, because being with someone's easier than not being with someone.
30:07But either way, every time you look at me, I'm going to wonder if you are looking at Casey or you're looking at me.
30:12Well, you know what?
30:13Right now I'm looking at Casey.
30:15Because reading my manuscript is exactly the sort of thing he would do.
30:18Mm-hmm.
30:19I gotta get out of here.
30:20Yeah, well, you can't.
30:21Remember, we're snowed in.
30:25You can take the bed.
30:26I'm going to sleep with the horses.
30:28No, Cody, I'm not going to let you do that.
30:31We can share the bed.
30:34I don't think I can be near you right now.
30:45You can hate the way this baby came to be all you want to.
30:48But no matter who the father is, this baby's still going to be your little brother or your little sister.
30:57I know that.
30:58And that's exactly what I didn't want for them to go through what I did to learn the truth about everything, to digest it, to forgive you.
31:08And really, I rushed to forgiveness the first time around because I thought that's what everyone needed.
31:16But really, I'm still in a lot of pain from being lied to my entire life.
31:27I get it.
31:31And I know that you love me.
31:35I love you.
31:36But I don't understand you and the choices that you've decided to make.
31:44So, how are we supposed to have a relationship if I'm always waiting for the next lie to come out?
31:56The trust is gone.
32:00Well, that's just something that we're going to have to, you know, like work on.
32:04If we can.
32:05We can try.
32:06Trina, it would kill me if you let your feelings for me affect the way you are with your little brother or your little sister.
32:20But I know you won't.
32:22I know you won't because it's not in you to blame an innocent child for my mistakes.
32:28I know that.
32:30And deep down, I know you do too.
32:33I got cold again, so I grabbed your jacket.
32:38I hope that's okay.
32:39Of course.
32:40When I did, these fell out.
32:44Sorry.
32:45It's fine.
32:48Is this any good?
32:50One of my favorites.
32:53Man, it's so crazy.
32:56The woman on this cover, she looks exactly like our old police commissioner.
33:02Anna Devane?
33:04Never heard of her.
33:06But that is a coincidence.
33:08Do you mind if I read it?
33:10It'll give me something to do.
33:12Be my guest.
33:29You know for a fact that Sid will kill Dalton.
33:37He did it right in front of me.
33:39So yes, I know for a fact.
33:44Okay.
33:45We gotta get you away from these guys.
33:47If they're using that medication against you, we gotta find a different source.
33:51Just get me a vial.
33:52I will have it reverse engineered.
33:53Jason, it's not a simple process, and there's no guarantee it'll work, and it takes time.
33:58Okay, but we can do it.
34:00We can replicate the medicine.
34:02We can keep you, Rocco, your mom safe, all of you.
34:06I'm gonna get you out of this.
34:09No matter what.
34:13I can't.
34:14I can't do this without you.
34:17Okay, if you agree, tonight, you can't just change your mind tomorrow.
34:22I need to know that we're in this together.
34:28That all sounds great in theory, but actually pulling it off?
34:33But this whole thing was built around you.
34:35They needed you to help create it.
34:38And now you can be the one that ended.
34:48You can do this, Carla.
34:50My phone is officially off for the night.
35:02Everything okay?
35:04Everything's perfect.
35:15Okay.
35:20Yeah?
35:21Yeah, I'll do it your way.
35:25But when we leave here tomorrow, we cannot see each other.
35:31If we pass each other at Bobby's or at the hospital, you cannot say hello.
35:36Colin made it very clear that I am not to be near you.
35:40He will not think twice about killing you, Jason.
35:43Do you understand me?
35:44He's not messing around.
35:50I understand.
35:53Good.
35:59Well, if tonight is all we have.
36:07Is it made of macy?
36:21Is it made of macy?
36:24How you can find me?
36:40Get me back on my path.
36:45Leave the world behind me.
36:49It's so amazing.
36:55When I'm in darkness and I call out to you, you said they'd like to find me.
37:07You're the plan.
37:09Like the winds of your butterfly.
37:15Oh.
37:18For as long as God.
37:24To the sky
37:29Under the moonrise
37:38The tides are swelling
37:41I let the past flow by me
37:46I fly away inside me
37:50Like the rings on a butterfly
37:58Forgiveness and tears that I cry
38:08Like the rings on a butterfly
38:15Loveless me
38:20Like the rings on a butterfly
38:26On the next General Hospital
38:31I need you more than ever
38:32We've got to find her
38:33Maybe it's time we got her own apartment
38:35If she wants a compromise
38:37She can come to me
38:38You are a good lawyer
38:39This is another chance to prove
38:41Walking out of this place
38:42Is the first heaven setting you free
38:44I had the first heaven setting you
