00:00I got your message. Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner.
00:07There's just a lot going on.
00:09Yeah. Transplant surgery today, huh?
00:13Yeah, this morning.
00:16What's up?
00:18Uh, I just think it's time you tell me what went on in Africa.
00:24Finish up. Let's get going if you want to stop at the hospital before school.
00:30Are Aunt Molly and Aunt Christina going to be there?
00:33Probably not. Mom said she didn't want us to make a big deal out of the operation, remember?
00:38But it is a big deal. Mom's saving someone's life.
00:42At last you pick up. I was starting to think you were avoiding me.
00:47I'm not avoiding you. I'm in the middle of something.
00:50Yeah, when's that not the case? I do need to see you, however. Right now.
00:55Now is not a good time. I'm at G.H.
00:58Well, I'm afraid I have to insist. This is important.
01:02Trust me. So is this.
01:21I know how hard this has been, sweetheart, but hang in there.
01:24Help is on the way. Thanks to Sam.
01:28And I'll be here and Lucky will be here waiting for you when you come out of surgery, okay, sweetheart?
01:34You can do this.
01:39We'll all be here waiting for you.
01:51I'm sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt.
01:54It's fine. I visualize every procedure beforehand.
01:58Everybody has their own pre-op rituals.
02:01I worked with a surgeon who had to wear the same shoes and eat two banana muffins before operating.
02:08What about you? Ready to operate?
02:11I am. Sam and I have the easy part today.
02:14It's going to take all of us to give Lulu the help she needs.
02:18It's going to take all of us to give Lulu the help she needs.
02:43You have to have an echo just before every surgery.
02:47Anyway, unless you're hungry for something else?
02:55Hey. How you doing?
02:58I don't know. Okay. I miss Alexis.
03:02Well, that's not something you hear very ever.
03:06My new roomie isn't much in the conversation department.
03:10Though, on the upside, she does make a delicious toilet wine.
03:15Win some, you lose some, I guess.
03:17Well, I wouldn't mind winning some.
03:22Did that judge ever do what he was supposed to do?
03:27He did.
03:30And?
03:33The judge vacated your sentence. You're going free.
03:39Hey. I heard about Heather.
03:43I can only imagine how difficult this is for you and your family.
03:47Is there anything I can do to help?
03:49It's enough that you understand how I feel.
03:52Now, if plan A fails, I may take you up on that offer.
03:58That's plan A.
04:05Your 9 o'clock is here.
04:07You can let him in.
04:09Oh, and no more interruptions after this, please.
04:12Understood.
04:21This is Curtis Ashford, Aurora's CEO.
04:23Mr. Ashford, this is...
04:24Dr. Steven Weber.
04:29Heather Weber's prodigal son.
04:37Heather Weber's prodigal son.
04:53We got a big day ahead of us, and we need to focus on that.
04:57Yes, well, the staff is ready to do whatever is necessary to make sure the transplant surgery goes smoothly.
05:02Good. Good, good.
05:03And I'm not going to fixate on Heather.
05:06Curtis is taking care of her.
05:08Okay, I want this whole Heather mess over with for all of you, but as your friend, I'm going to tell you, be careful.
05:16Heather has a powerful ally in Rick, and if he gets wind that you're moving against his client, he will respond in kind.
05:24Rick Lansing should know that Heather's the one who needs to be careful.
05:28I'm not a doctor anymore.
05:30Mr. Ashford, I'm pretty sure you know that.
05:33Curtis, please.
05:36You know, I spoke with a lot of people who said how highly skilled a doctor you were before you were incarcerated.
05:42It was a lot of things before I went to prison. Financially stable, for one.
05:47Thanks for paying for this trip, by the way.
05:50It's the least I can do.
05:51I guess that all depends on why you asked to see me in person.
05:55Poor Charles doesn't hold a lot of good memories for me, so I'm not planning to stay long.
06:01I'm not planning on standing in your way.
06:04Well, with that in mind, what can I do for you?
06:09When you do leave, I want you to take your mother with you.
06:17Are you messing with me?
06:19I got the call last night.
06:21So? What?
06:23Like, I'm going to go to a nice halfway house? Or that minimum security prison with a nice volleyball court?
06:30You know, you are being released. Once the paperwork is taken care of, you are out of here.
06:35What? Like, just weekly check-ins with a parole officer?
06:38And, you know, drug testing, mandatory counseling, ankle monitoring?
06:43What else?
06:44None of it.
06:45You know, a woman whose violence stemmed from a medical condition that has been eradicated no longer needs those kind of constraints.
06:54You mean, I'm free?
06:57I'm, like, totally free!
06:59That's what I've been trying to tell you.
07:01Oh, my God! I can't believe this!
07:05Rick! Rick, thank you!
07:07Oh, girl!
07:08Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!
07:10Man, you got me a second chance!
07:13And you better believe, I'm going to make the most of it!
07:23Thank you, Rick!
07:28You were in my locker?
07:30Yeah!
07:31I made my boundaries clear when we talked earlier.
07:33I know, but I bought Eckert's for the staff, and I knew you had important surgery today.
07:37I just wanted to make sure you had everything you needed for your pre-op routine.
07:41I was trying to be supportive.
07:43I appreciate that, but I don't want us misunderstanding each other, okay?
07:48Okay. I'll throw it away. It'll be like it never happened.
07:51No, I already took a bite.
07:54Relax. It's nothing I haven't seen before.
08:00But that mole's new. You should probably get it checked out.
08:06The nurses just told me that the transplant team are going to prep your mom for surgery right now,
08:11so if there's anything that you want to say to your mom before surgery, now's the time.
08:24Hi, Mom.
08:26It's me, Rocco.
08:34How are you?
08:36I just wish they would get the show on the road already.
08:39Yeah. Waiting's the worst.
08:43It's going to take a miracle for Lulu to pull through this surgery.
08:48It's going to take a miracle for Lulu to pull through this surgery.
08:53But what matters is that she's getting the chance because of you.
08:57Oh, come on. I'm just doing what anyone would do.
09:02If you need anything, please tell me. Currently.
09:09Come on. You didn't just come in here for a chat.
09:14You want something. You always do.
09:17Yeah, I do.
09:21I wanted to say thank you.
09:25Where'd this come from?
09:26Africa. On the same plane that brought you back to Port Charles.
09:31How'd you find Lucky?
09:35So a guy named Jen Sidwell was holding Lucky captive.
09:38Anna and I found him in a casino in Nairobi, and we got ourselves invited back to his camp.
09:45Smart.
09:46Not really, because we had been made while we were still in the club.
09:50He took us back to the camp to have us killed.
09:53How'd you get out?
09:54WSB sent in some drone strikes.
09:58Nice to know they're good for something.
10:00Those drone strikes saved our lives, but everything pretty much went to hell after that.
10:04But fortunately, we were able to grab Lucky and get out.
10:06You weren't alone?
10:07Holly Sutton was there with Sidwell at the casino.
10:11She was working some angle on him, but in the end, she helped us escape.
10:15Interesting.
10:16She had the diamond?
10:18Diamonds, plural.
10:20How many?
10:23Enough to know Holly Sutton is trouble.
10:25The kind of trouble that might be worth it.
10:30The first thing I am going to do is go right to Kelly's.
10:34I've been craving their BLT.
10:36Heather, there's some real world considerations you're going to have to think about.
10:40Kind of like, for instance, the state your finances are in.
10:44I've got ten bucks in the commissary.
10:46Okay, then you're probably going to have to be looking for a job.
10:49What about all those millions you said you were going to get from those quacks who fixed me up with a poison hip?
10:56Okay, well, even if we get a settlement, it's going to take a while to be able to get that money.
11:00So, in the meantime, you've got to find a way to support yourself.
11:04In the words of Scarlett O'Hara, I will think about that tomorrow.
11:09Okay, well, today you're going to need a place to crash.
11:13Is there anybody that can take you in?
11:20I was really, really hoping that this trip had nothing to do with Heather.
11:25Are you aware of what's happening with her?
11:27My sister, Elizabeth, told me Rick Lansing is alleging medical malpractice in hopes of reducing her sentence.
11:34Well, he did more than get it reduced.
11:37It was vacated. Your mother will be released today.
11:41Today?
11:50I'm guessing this isn't happy news.
11:52My relationship with my mother is complicated.
11:56Your mother wanted my daughter killed, and now she's being allowed back into the world.
12:01Without the medical device, they made her violent.
12:04Would you bet your daughter's life on that?
12:06What do you want from me, Mr. Ashford?
12:08I want you to reunite with your mother.
12:11And I want you to take her far, far away from Wardrobe.
12:15Heather gave birth to me, but let's be honest, she's hardly my mother.
12:20I thought you'd feel that way about taking her on.
12:23So, I am prepared to make this worth your while.
12:30Holly's got a whole bag of those.
12:32She wants me to offload them.
12:35And I'm thinking the haul's gonna be around, you know, close to a hundred million.
12:41Wow. What are you gonna do?
12:43Well, I'm inclined to work with her.
12:48Do you know if that's been registered?
12:49No, it hasn't. That way it doesn't qualify as stolen.
12:53Sidwell might disagree with you.
12:57The guy who died in a drone strike?
13:00No, he survived.
13:02What do you mean?
13:03Yeah, he's back in the U.S.
13:06And I'm guessing he's looking for Holly.
13:12Your hands are sticky. Go wash them.
13:15He really likes her up.
13:16No kidding.
13:18I'll wait outside the door for you, if you want.
13:24I'll time you.
13:25I never time her, but if I don't say that, she'll be in there forever.
13:29You're a really good big brother, you know that?
13:31I mean, I'm the oldest. It's kind of my job.
13:34It doesn't mean that it's easy.
13:37Your sister can be a little... a lot.
13:41But every time she meets you, you step up.
13:44You mean today?
13:47I mean every day.
13:50I think you're awesome.
13:52And so is your mom.
13:53This is no small thing, you know?
13:55So if there's anything you need at all...
13:58I'm just... I'm doing this for Dante and Rocco.
14:02I know.
14:04But it does mean the world to all of us.
14:07If you keep saying things like that, I may actually start to believe you.
14:13I want you to believe me. I do.
14:16Carly Spencer dishing out compliments.
14:19I may have to bank this one.
14:21Please do.
14:26Pardon me, ladies, but I need a word with Miss Spencer.
14:30He's gotten so big.
14:32I know.
14:35I wonder if she'll even recognize him when she wakes up.
14:39I've had that same thought, too.
14:41I mean, he was just a little boy.
14:43He was just a little boy.
14:46I've had that same thought, too.
14:48I mean, he was just a kid.
14:51When she had that accident and went into the coma,
14:54he's had to spend so much time without her.
15:00I brought this for you.
15:03We had our first cross-country meet of the season.
15:07And I won.
15:11Cross-country, it's all about endurance.
15:16Sometimes I feel like I'm not going to make it.
15:19But I never give up.
15:24I think I got that from you.
15:31You're so close, Mom.
15:34Don't give up now.
15:36Okay.
15:44Okay, Jack.
15:45My cousin is about to have a very complicated liver transplant.
15:49And the woman I was talking to is her donor.
15:51It's commendable that you came here to show your support.
15:54But I'm not sure why you couldn't have done that and then come to my office.
15:58What do you need from me?
16:00I need your friend Jason's cooperation.
16:03I believe he has vital information about what happened during the Lucky Spencer rescue operation.
16:09So why don't you just ask him?
16:10I have, and it's clear that he's holding something back.
16:14Well, good luck getting that out of him.
16:17Okay.
16:18Apparently, Anna and Jason made a particularly nasty enemy
16:22by the name of Jen Sidwell when they were in Africa.
16:25So now this delightful gem of a human being is in the U.S.,
16:30and he's probably on his way to Port Charles.
16:33Okay, I still don't understand what you expect me to do about it.
16:38The extraction that you begged me to facilitate
16:40is now threatening to become a full-blown international incident.
16:43So in light of all of that,
16:46asking for help with Jason doesn't that seem kind of reasonable to you?
16:50Why did you go out on a limb for me?
16:55If you have to ask,
16:57you're not as smart as I thought you were.
17:00Why did this Sidwell guy survive an attack on his compound?
17:04Lucky didn't want him dead.
17:06The drone strikes were happening, and I didn't have a chance to change his mind.
17:10Laura would have been proud, and Luke would have been rolling over in his grave.
17:15It was my mistake to leave Sidwell alive.
17:18Well, if we get this done fast,
17:21Holly can be gone before Sidwell connects us to her.
17:26Sidwell connects us to her.
17:29Can you get it done fast?
17:31Not today. I can't get it done.
17:33I gotta go. I got somewhere I gotta be.
17:36All right.
17:49I bet Laura would take me into her place, you know, just for a little while.
17:52No, I wouldn't count on it.
17:53She's going through a family crisis right now.
17:56Well, then we can go knock on Alexis's door.
17:59You know, we got really along eventually,
18:02and I'm sure she'd blow up an air mattress for me.
18:04No. She's going through a family crisis as well.
18:06That's connected to Laura's crisis.
18:08Okay, then just drop me off at the Court of Maids.
18:11I can hang out there for weeks before anyone would ever know I'm there.
18:14It's so huge.
18:15Yeah, and once they did notice you,
18:17they would call the police and have you arrested for trespassing and breaking an enemy.
18:20Hey, I'm sorry.
18:22Is this you trying to help me here?
18:25Think. Is there anyone you can call?
18:33The anesthesiologists are meeting with their respective patients.
18:36That sounds great.
18:38Good morning, Nurse Baldwin.
18:39Morning.
18:43Are these for anybody?
18:45Oh, um, help yourself.
18:48I am so glad you're enjoying those.
18:50I got up extra early to beat the bakery crowds.
18:52They are intense.
18:55Duty calls.
18:57Send me one?
18:58Will do.
19:02Oh, I'm just about through for the day.
19:05Stan's going to cover the rest of my shift,
19:07so I can go to the Wichux game.
19:09Season all comes down to tonight's game seven.
19:11You're leaving your shift early to go to a baseball game?
19:14Um, I can always tell Stan never mind.
19:17I wouldn't want to test.
19:19Dr. Robinson.
19:22Have fun.
19:23Awesome.
19:30I really appreciate your offer.
19:32You haven't even heard my offer yet.
19:34What if I told you I could get your medical license reinstated?
19:37I think that's beyond even you.
19:40Well, I have a friend who's running for office.
19:42Now, if things go our way, I'll have the influence to make that happen.
19:45I'm not talking about what you're offering me.
19:47I'm talking about what I'm capable of, what I can accomplish.
19:50It's not like I can just throw Heather over my shoulder and drag her out of Port Charles.
19:55I'm sure she'll go willingly.
20:01Really?
20:02Yeah.
20:04I know that family means everything to Heather, and you're all she has left.
20:09She has a grandson.
20:11At the very best, Laura Collins will allow limited access.
20:15As soon as she decides that it's not good for Ace, she'll cut that access off altogether.
20:22Which leaves me.
20:24Yeah, man.
20:25All you gotta do is crack the door open a bit.
20:28Then I'll be the one to have to keep her in line.
20:30And frankly, I don't want to be responsible for what my mother does.
20:35Then you will be responsible for what becomes of her.
20:45Yeah, for some visitors.
20:47Talk about taking your sweet time getting here.
20:50These are for you.
20:51Thank you, baby. They're beautiful.
20:55Wait, did you get me these so I wouldn't notice that neither of you have any schoolwork with you?
21:02Our backpacks are in the car.
21:04Oh.
21:05We went to the surf lodge and then came here.
21:07Ooh, sounds like you've had an exciting day already.
21:10Think I should just stay here instead of going to school?
21:12No, you're going to school.
21:14No, stop.
21:15Mom, don't let him try and work you. Stay strong.
21:20You're amazing, you know that?
21:21Stop.
21:22You are amazing. Don't tell me to stop.
21:26You're saving a life.
21:28Not many people would do that.
21:31And it's no surprise to me that you are.
21:42My sweetheart.
21:45We, uh, better get out of here if we're going to get you to school on time.
21:50I'm not going today.
21:51Buddy, we already talked about this. You can't just sit around here and wait.
21:54You know something, Desiree? Besides, it might be good to have a distraction.
21:57Honestly, you could go to school and come back.
21:59Your mom is still going to be in that surgery.
22:02I want to be here.
22:05Please.
22:09Alright, listen. Let's make a deal.
22:12We'll go see what Sam has to say. If she's cool with it, you spend the whole day here doing schoolwork.
22:17Deal.
22:18Okay. Let's see what Sam has to say.
22:24Is everything okay?
22:27I just wanted to let you know that it's not.
22:33Okay. Why? Why do you keep helping me?
22:38Chivalry.
22:40Anna says you don't do anything without an ulterior motive.
22:43Anna is ex-WSB, which means by definition she's bitter and cynical.
22:48But not wrong.
22:50You know, you're kind of cynical yourself, to be honest. Almost agent-worthy.
22:54Is that what this is about? Are you trying to recruit me?
22:58Well, a woman with your talents could be put to far better use than mounting a concierge desk.
23:10When you called, you didn't say he'd be here.
23:14I know. I, uh, I need a favor.
23:20Who's asking? You or him?
23:25Both.
23:28And you know, I realize that Terry, you know, she probably had the best intentions.
23:32But you think that she let Brad play her.
23:36Don't you?
23:40Talking about me?
23:43We were talking about Brad.
23:45What has he done now?
23:46She brought pastries.
23:48Bastard.
23:51Trying to ingratiate himself with the staff, I guess.
23:54And you really think a few pastries is all it'll take for the staff to come down with amnesia?
23:58GH is a forgiving place.
24:04You gonna make me ask?
24:06Brad got his job back because Terry gave him a recommendation.
24:10Why would she do that?
24:12Britt and Brad were best friends. Britt and Terry were co-chiefs of staff.
24:16Britt is dead. Brad needed a hand.
24:20You do the math.
24:24Steven, this is about family.
24:26I'm trying to protect mine and you need to take responsibility for yours.
24:30In your opinion, what's the right thing to do?
24:36I think the right thing is for you and your mother to leave town and go far away.
24:40I will supplement your income until you get on your feet.
24:43Providing she goes and stays gone.
24:46And if I can't convince my mother to leave Port Charles with me?
24:50I have alternatives.
24:53And the outcomes are...
24:56First floor nurse's station.
24:58Elizabeth?
25:00Heather?
25:01I cannot believe I got you on my first try.
25:04Why are you calling the hospital?
25:06Well, I don't know if you've heard yet, but I'm being released from Pentonville.
25:12And before you ask, yes, I'm being released.
25:16You're being released?
25:17Yes.
25:18You're being released?
25:19Yes.
25:20You're being released?
25:21Yes.
25:22From Pentonville.
25:23And before you ask, yes.
25:25It is 100% legal.
25:29Congratulations.
25:31Thank you. Thank you.
25:32You know, my head is still spinning.
25:35Heather, what do you want?
25:37Well, I was just wondering if you could pick me up from prison.
25:43You know, for Franco's sake.
25:53I'm sorry.
26:01Hopefully the Chuffs will do better than the last time we saw them in the playoffs.
26:06They lost in five.
26:10Did you want something?
26:11Yeah.
26:14Did you manipulate your way back into your job?
26:17People are saying that you played Dr. Randolph.
26:21I'm sorry.
26:23Which is it?
26:24Keep it professional and stay away from each other or be in each other's business?
26:28You're right. I'm sorry.
26:30I did mention Britt's name.
26:35I'm not proud of it, but I needed a job.
26:39Britt would probably be proud.
26:42I hope so.
26:46I'm doing the best I can.
26:51When we went, the Chuffs lost in six.
27:01Go Chuffs.
27:04I didn't know that Heather was going to call you.
27:06Why didn't you pick her up if she's worth millions to you?
27:09I have to be in court.
27:12Okay, look, I don't want anything to do with Heather.
27:15Then just say no to her, okay? She'll be someplace else.
27:18You and I both know that if she's left alone, she's going to find trouble.
27:22So what is it that you wanted me to do? You want me to take her into my home?
27:27No, I don't like the idea of you and Aiden sharing your home with Heather.
27:31Oh, really? Because I was looking forward to eating ice cream and binging Dance Moms with her.
27:35Well, you know what? I have an idea that might help your domestic situation.
27:39Let's hear it.
27:40I could move in too.
27:43That's the opposite of helping.
27:48Lulu's been on a short course of anticoagulants that should mitigate the risk of portal vein thrombosis.
27:55But there are no guarantees.
28:00My daughter has been fighting for her life since she was a tiny little girl.
28:05And winning.
28:07If you give her the chance today, she will win again.
28:15So I have a standing invitation to dine at the Quartermains the whole time the kids are there, right?
28:20So I'm torn because there's, what, free food, which I love, and there's also...
28:26Ah, Tracy.
28:28Tracy.
28:29I should have known the party's in here.
28:32We're just keeping it simple.
28:34The party's in here.
28:36We're just keeping Mom company.
28:38Yeah? You proud of her?
28:40Oh, we are so proud.
28:43Let me tell you something.
28:45I'm proud of her.
28:47Thank you, Sonny.
28:50I know you're tired of hearing this, Mom, but you're a real hero.
28:58Oh, who made Sam cry?
29:02Oh, yeah? You? Thank you.
29:05Uh, hey, uh, Rocco had something he wanted to say.
29:12Thank you so much, Sam.
29:17I haven't done anything yet.
29:19You're gonna save my mom's life.
29:22I don't know how I'll ever be able to repay you.
29:27You.
29:30Danny.
29:32Scalp.
29:34Dante.
29:36Mom.
29:38All of my people.
29:40That's including you, Sonny.
29:42You've all been so good to me.
29:47I'm just really glad I'm able to return the favor.
30:07Jack needs to know what happened in Africa.
30:09I already told Jack what happened.
30:11I'm fairly certain you omitted key details.
30:17Jack came through for us when we needed him.
30:19He called in the drone strike.
30:21He's the reason you, Anne, and Lucky got home safe.
30:24He saved your life.
30:26That means I owe him.
30:29I think you do, too.
30:32Please help him.
30:46I told you everything I knew.
30:48At the time.
30:50You're very good.
30:52Technically honest, while disclosing next to nothing.
30:57So I'm gonna ask you directly.
30:59Was there more to your adventure than you first knew?
31:06Holly was up to something.
31:08Something, yeah.
31:10She took something from Sidwell. Something valuable.
31:13It was diamonds.
31:15She stole a fortune from him.
31:18Thus Sidwell's revenge, too.
31:22Are we done?
31:24Steer clear of Sidwell.
31:26Jason.
31:28Can you thank Carly for me?
31:31And let her know that this does indeed square her and I.
31:35Yeah, just watch your step around her.
31:38Oh, is this the bit where you tell me to stay away from Carly?
31:43All I'm saying is don't hurt her.
31:47Bad things tend to happen to people who do.
31:52Marshal, Curtis told me that he's gonna take care of Heather for me.
31:56As soon as I speak to him, I will call you.
31:59I promise.
32:01Thanks, Marshal.
32:16Oh, my God.
32:23Oh, my...
32:25Oh!
32:27Oh, my...
32:37I missed you.
32:39I missed you, too, Marshal.
32:46I missed you, too.
33:06Mars...
33:08Hello, Mother.
33:16He's... He's gonna do it.
33:18It took a little bit of convincing, but Steven Weber is on board.
33:21He's gonna take his mom.
33:23Honey, they're gonna get out of town and out of our lives.
33:26You really think it's gonna work?
33:28I don't think Heather will be able to resist.
33:32It's over, baby.
33:34It's finally over.
33:36Oh!
33:38Oh!
33:47Oh!
33:50What do you say, sis?
33:52You ready to do this?
33:54So long as I've got you.
33:56You're a hard woman to refuse.
33:58A few people want to wish you luck.
34:02Oh, my God.
34:15Sam, I can't possibly thank you enough.
34:19I'm glad to do it.
34:21Keep up, Mom.
34:23What he said.
34:25It's gonna be great.
34:27That's right, baby.
34:28You're my hero, Sam.
34:30We love you, sweetheart, so much.
34:33Tell me when I'm back.
34:52You got this.
34:56It's a piece of cake.
35:01It's a piece of cake.
35:11The O.R. is ready.
35:23Bye, Mommy. Love you.
35:25Love you, Mom.
35:27I love you.
35:30I love you.
