00:00Didn't we reverse our number?
00:01Uh, yes.
00:02Happily, happily, but we're just the backup.
00:04Where's our fearless leader?
00:08What do you mean you work here?
00:11I'm Professor Dalton's summer research assistant.
00:14You.
00:17I can't believe it.
00:19You stole my job.
00:23Yes, Drew.
00:24I'm sure I got through to Curtis.
00:25Well, it's going to have to wait, because blackmail or no blackmail, I can't be at your beck and call 24-7.
00:33I have a hospital that I need to run.
00:37What is it?
00:41Hey, Mom.
00:43Bad time?
00:45You think Horace is lying to you?
00:47About what?
00:50I've noticed that whenever she talks about...
00:52You know what? Stop.
00:53Given our history, I think you'd be better off confiding in someone else about your wife.
01:00You can't sell your property to Jen Sidwell, Sonny. You just can't do that.
01:04I'm still considering the options, but selling could solve both our problems.
01:10No, he's a horrible man.
01:13You know, he held my son captive. He practically killed him.
01:16And you can't give this man what he wants.
01:20You know, Laura, sometimes you gotta...
01:23You can't look at this like a mother.
01:26You have to see the bigger picture.
01:30What does that mean?
01:31Well, I don't trust Sidwell either.
01:34But sometimes it's worth making a deal with the devil.
01:38You haven't listened to a word I said.
01:40Of course I did.
01:41Really?
01:42Then why have you gone from wanting to tell Dante about the son he never knew he had
01:46to tracking the kid down?
01:49It's really important that I find out who he is.
01:51Why?
01:52He's not your child.
01:54He's Brooklyn and Dante's child.
01:56Hell, he's somebody else's child for that matter.
01:59He has another family, Lulu.
02:01But Carly, you don't understand he...
02:02No, no, you don't understand.
02:04I know you think you're doing the right thing by reuniting Dante with his son.
02:08But I'm telling you, if you do this, you're making a huge mistake.
02:16Since when do you have a great-grandson?
02:20Um, I'll get to that.
02:23First, I need to know that this conversation will stay between us.
02:26You can't give this information to anybody, including Sonny.
02:31Well, I can't promise anything until you tell me exactly what's going on.
02:36I don't know if I can trust anybody with this.
02:42Which is what?
02:49When Brooklyn was a teenager, she got pregnant and had a baby boy.
02:56She gave up for adoption.
02:57I need you to find him.
03:25I didn't steal anything.
03:27All right.
03:28I earned this position fair and square.
03:32Just stop.
03:33Okay, last night, I told you how important this job was to me,
03:36and you didn't say a damn word about applying for it, too.
03:38I didn't think I had to.
03:40I figured you'd get it.
03:42Well, you still should have told me.
03:44Especially after I opened up to you about how important it was to me.
03:50Did you tell him what I told you?
03:52Hmm?
03:53Is that how you got the job?
03:55Absolutely not.
03:56No, I would never say anything to him.
03:59Maybe you did.
04:00Maybe you didn't.
04:00I don't really care, because either way, you stabbed me in the back.
04:04Felicia is right.
04:06It's going to be very hard to rehearse without the main attraction.
04:09Okay, well, I mean, I could fill in for her until she gets here.
04:15Oh, that's a good idea.
04:16At least we can go through what we'll be doing.
04:19Yeah, that's good.
04:19Good idea.
04:20Fine.
04:21Okay, guys, guys, guys.
04:22Listen, I really want this number to be a showstopper,
04:25and I want people to talk about it forever and forever and remember it.
04:28So guess what?
04:29We really have to bring it.
04:32Oh, your passion is our passion, Lucy.
04:35Yes.
04:37Okay, let's get started.
04:39Okay.
04:39Positions?
04:40Positions.
04:40Yeah, yeah.
04:41Here?
04:42Yeah, I was here.
04:43You're there.
04:43Got it.
04:44I'm here.
04:44You ready?
04:45Yeah.
04:45Yeah.
04:48Hi, gents.
04:50Hi.
04:51Excuse me.
04:52So, I'm surprised to see I didn't expect you'd be stopping by.
04:56Well, since I'm underwriting this whole production,
04:59I thought I'd make sure everything's running perfectly.
05:03But, please, don't stop rehearsal on my account.
05:08Get pregnant that young had to be hard on Brooklyn,
05:12and then having to decide to give up her child, that's just, it's...
05:16It was terrible.
05:17And it was made worse by keeping it secret all these years.
05:21So nobody else knew?
05:23Well, Lois knew.
05:24And Brooklyn went to her mother for help.
05:27Well, I'm glad she had her mother.
05:28She probably needed her.
05:30Yeah, but Lois never told any of us.
05:34Not even Ned, Brooklyn's own father.
05:37Yeah, but I'm sure Brooklyn asked her to keep it between them.
05:40She did.
05:41But Lois told her mother, Gloria,
05:44and the two nitwits arranged for the closed adoption of the baby boy.
05:49And Brooklyn wants you to find her son?
05:56Because if she does, I should be having this conversation with her.
06:02Sidwell's willing to pay a lot of money for my waterfront property.
06:06I'm sure he is.
06:08And I stand to benefit, and so do you.
06:11Have a seat.
06:14Sidwell takes my property, measure C becomes a non-issue.
06:19You're free of me, and as far as your term, it's all clear.
06:24I don't want to be free of you, Sonny.
06:26You're family to me.
06:27I mean politically,
06:30because we both know that politically I'm a burden to you.
06:34One I am more than willing to carry,
06:36and I am strong enough and tough enough to do it.
06:40No doubt.
06:41I don't want Sidwell to be able to build a power base here in Port Charles.
06:46And frankly, I'm kind of surprised that you would allow him to,
06:49even if it is for a big sum of money.
06:52It's not about the money, Laura.
06:56No, I guess it isn't.
06:58Well, if you are willing to sell your property,
07:03then that can really only mean one thing.
07:08You're planning your exit strategy.
07:12I'm not necessarily going to reunite Dante with his son.
07:16I just need to find out who he is first, and then I'll decide.
07:20Then you'll decide?
07:22I cannot believe I left Jack at the Metro Court
07:24so you could come here and play God with other people's lives
07:27and decide to tell me about it.
07:29That is great.
07:29Not my intention.
07:31It is absolutely your intention to tell Dante,
07:33or else you wouldn't be looking to find ways to justify it.
07:36I am having a very hard time keeping the secret from Dante.
07:39If you're having a hard time now,
07:42imagine how hard it's going to be when you find out who and where his son is.
07:45I'm pretty sure I already know.
07:47And I think he's right here in Port Charles.
07:51Dante doesn't know it,
07:52but he's been interacting with him without knowing they're related.
07:56Who do you think Dante's son is?
08:01It's Gio.
08:06Jordan, I respect your feelings,
08:08but you are the only one I can talk to about this.
08:11You know Portia better than anyone,
08:13and your background as an agent will come in handy.
08:17How so?
08:18Is Portia in trouble?
08:20I hope not.
08:22And I'm hoping that you can tell me that my suspicions are all wrong,
08:25and that I am completely misreading this entire situation.
08:29Okay, well, you've always had good instincts,
08:31but all right.
08:33What's the situation?
08:35Portia has become a Drew apologist.
08:39Overnight.
08:41For the life of me, I cannot figure out why.
08:44Honey, I'm so sorry to snap at you.
08:46It's okay.
08:47It's just been a day.
08:49Well, I can come back later.
08:51No, no, no.
08:52I'm always happy to see you.
08:54So tell me what brings you by.
08:56Wait, wait.
08:57Let me guess.
08:58Kai?
09:00Yeah.
09:00Well, I was visiting Kai,
09:02and then he had to go to physical therapy,
09:04so I thought maybe that I could hang out with you if you're okay with that.
09:08I would love that.
09:10Come sit.
09:12Tell me how Kai is feeling.
09:14Um, good.
09:16Although it's kind of hard to tell because he has a camera in his face at, like, all times.
09:21So he has to, like, put on a good front.
09:24Drew still has the documentary filmmaker following him around?
09:28And when the director guy asks me to make a comment on camera,
09:35all I want to say is how I really feel about Drew
09:38and just hope that it gets into the documentary.
09:41But you can't, right?
09:43Because it would reflect badly on Kai.
09:46And Kai knows how you feel about Drew.
09:48Yeah, he pretty much gets the idea.
09:51Honey, it's not your job or mine
09:54to convince people of Drew's true nature.
09:58I just had a conversation with your father about this very same thing.
10:02Aurora was going to print an editorial about Drew,
10:06a negative one,
10:07and I talked him out of it.
10:10Why would you do that?
10:13You're right.
10:14I should have been more upfront with you
10:16about applying for the position,
10:18and I wasn't,
10:18and I apologize for that.
10:20But I did not stab you in the back.
10:23I mean, we all know that you used Daddy's influence to get the job,
10:26so just say it.
10:28I mean, what?
10:28Did you come to the interview with Daddy's check in hand?
10:31Or did he send it in before and that's how you got the job?
10:33I get that you're upset, okay?
10:35But my father had nothing to do with this.
10:39I'm really sorry, Emma.
10:42Truly, I am.
10:43And if I find out that Professor Dalton
10:45is experimenting on animals
10:47or doing anything else unethical,
10:49then I will let the authorities know.
10:52Like I would ever believe a single word
10:53that comes out of your mouth.
10:55I mean, honestly,
10:56I was an idiot to trust you in the first place,
10:58and I actually thought that we bonded.
11:00We did.
11:05How can you say that?
11:07I was right about you all along.
11:10You were nothing but a spoiled,
11:13selfish, and untrustworthy bitch.
11:19You think Gio Palmieri is Dante's son.
11:23Why would you think that?
11:26Gio is the exact right age
11:29to be Brooklyn and Dante's child.
11:31Yeah, but Gio wasn't adopted.
11:34His mother was a Cerullo cousin.
11:36Right.
11:37So it would make sense for Lois and Gloria
11:39to put Brooklyn's baby with someone they knew
11:41and trusted.
11:42Oh, come on, Lolo.
11:44And when Camilla died,
11:45who took in Gio?
11:47Gloria and Carmine.
11:50With Lois' help.
11:51I don't know.
11:55This is a huge leap, Lulu.
11:58Not if you'd seen what I did last night.
12:03Given everything that's happened recently,
12:05I thought it was time for me
12:06to step back from the business
12:08and just concentrate solely on my family.
12:13I'm really glad to hear you say that, Sonny.
12:15But do guys in your line of work
12:19get to retire?
12:22I mean, there's not going to be a gold watch
12:25and a warm send-off, right?
12:26Well, it's going to be tricky.
12:28I'm not leaving Port Charles,
12:30so I'm going to have a target on my back.
12:32So you won't go to your home in Puerto Rico?
12:35Well, my family's here.
12:36I'm not leaving,
12:38so I'm going to have to have
12:38some security, right?
12:43Yeah.
12:43But I just think it's time for me
12:45to have a fresh start.
12:47I don't want to be the one
12:50to begrudge you that fresh start,
12:53but I do have to think about
12:55what your retirement would mean
12:57to the city of Port Charles,
12:58especially if you're going to hand over
13:01your territory to Jen Sidwell.
13:03Well, he claims to be legit.
13:05You don't believe that
13:08any more than I do.
13:10Well, let's just say this.
13:11If Sidwell plans to come here
13:14and do illegal stuff,
13:16you're going to keep an eye on him,
13:18you and the PCPD,
13:20like you have me for years.
13:22Plus, you got the WSB here.
13:24Who don't have your influence.
13:27If I sell to Sidwell,
13:28the transition's going to be peaceful
13:32from one power to another power,
13:36and it's going to prevent wars.
13:40But the problem is you're selling
13:41to a very dangerous man, Sonny.
13:44I mean, I'll be honest with you.
13:45I'm really concerned about what
13:47Sidwell is planning to do
13:49here at Port Charles.
13:53Sit back.
13:54Yes, make yourself comfortable, please.
13:56And we are going to show you
13:58what we've been working on.
14:00Lovely.
14:01Okay, shall we?
14:02Great, okay.
14:05I'm sorry, but is Gio still here?
14:07Well, no, he left sweetheart.
14:09Damn it.
14:10Are you all right?
14:12Can we take five?
14:13I need to just talk to my granddaughter.
14:15Oh, right, but we were just going to...
14:16I know, I know.
14:17Let it go.
14:19Take your time.
14:21Hi.
14:23Hey, sorry about that.
14:24Not to worry.
14:26Listen, everything will run
14:27like clockwork at showtime.
14:30In the meantime,
14:32I just would really like to thank you
14:35for underwriting the entire nurses' ball.
14:39It is for such a good cause,
14:41and you were just wonderful
14:42for being so generous.
14:44Well, it wasn't a completely selfless act.
14:47I must admit to having
14:49an ulterior motive.
14:51I must admit to having an ulterior motive.
14:51I must admit to having an ulterior motive.
15:00I must admit that I should be
15:01moving on to the back of my wife,
15:02and for such a good cause.
15:03I need to take over like a mehr
15:04and have a better job.
15:04What happened to the next?
15:05I must admit to having a ulterior motive,
15:06which I see as an ulterior motive.
15:06We've got to take over like a nickel,
15:07but we could get our ulterior motive.
15:09I must admit to having that ulterior motive and
15:10I must admit to having a win on the side of
15:13what happened to the next time.
15:14I must admit to having a my ulterior motive.
15:16I don't know.
15:46Are you saying that Portia is suddenly defending Drew?
15:51Yes.
15:52For instance, today, I told her I was running an editorial pointing out that there's still no evidence supporting Drew's claim that he was drugged and didn't use ketamine recreational.
16:03That would have been a bold move.
16:05Well, it also would have been the truth.
16:07But then Portia comes in with a song and dance telling me that it would make me look biased.
16:12And that I'd be asking for trouble if I used Aurora Media to attack Drew.
16:17Well, you and Drew do have a tit-for-tat dynamic.
16:21Maybe Portia was just looking out for you.
16:23If that's all it was, I'd agree with you.
16:25But I've walked in on several of their private conversations, ones at her office and ones at his house.
16:33Are you suggesting that there's something romantic going on between them?
16:37No, not at all.
16:42I'm simply saying that something feels off.
16:45Like when Portia was lying to me about Trina.
16:48And I'm worried about history repeating itself.
16:50I'm here on Brooklyn's behalf.
16:54She doesn't know you're trying to find her son, does she?
16:57No.
16:58But you can't.
16:59You can't go searching for her kid without her knowledge and permission.
17:03Jason, he's my flesh and blood too.
17:07I have a great-grandson somewhere out there.
17:10I have to know who he is.
17:12And then what?
17:13What if he doesn't even know he's adopted?
17:16I don't have all the answers right now.
17:19You don't have any answers, Tracy.
17:22I mean, isn't it up to the kid to decide whether he looks for his biological parents or not?
17:27What if he can't?
17:28What if he tried and failed?
17:29What if he's in trouble and he needs our help?
17:31I don't know what kind of life Gloria and Lois condemned him to.
17:36I'm sure they found him a good home.
17:38Oh, well, you have more faith in their judgment than I do.
17:41If they cared about that boy, they should have made sure he was raised a quartermate.
17:49That's as much a curse as it is a blessing.
17:51I'm not talking about privilege.
17:57I'm talking about family.
18:00Don't you think that boy deserved to know Edward and to know his family's legacy?
18:07It doesn't matter what I think.
18:10This is none of my business.
18:13I'm not getting involved.
18:14What happened last night that convinced you that Gio was Brooklyn's son?
18:20After you left the hospital, Dante ripped into Gio about Rocco, the drinking, the party, all of it.
18:32It got really heated.
18:34And then Lois intervened.
18:36Okay, but that's Lois.
18:38She meddles all the time.
18:39No, no, it was more than that.
18:41It was over-the-top protective.
18:44She yelled, you don't know what you're saying, and you don't know who he really is.
18:50Okay, that's weird.
18:52What did she mean by that?
18:53She tried to cover by saying Gio's a good kid, but I think it was a slip of the tongue.
19:00Well, it could go either way.
19:04And then after, Dante said that Lois and Gloria never let Gio stand on his O2 feet, that they were always there, covering for him, protecting him, all of it.
19:13So they overcompensated, you know?
19:15I mean, Gio is an orphan.
19:18Or Lois' grandson.
19:20Do you really think they would do that to Brooklyn?
19:23Raise her kid without telling her?
19:25Maybe they did tell Brooklyn.
19:27Although she did seem genuinely stunned when I told her she had a son, but Brooklyn is a good liar, and I don't trust her, so I'm 50-50 on her knowing.
19:40Okay, that's not helpful in this situation.
19:42I know, but think about it.
19:45My theory makes sense.
19:48Gio is probably Brooklyn and Dante's son.
19:52And if he is, I have to tell Dante.
19:57I don't understand why Professor Dalton would choose Jocelyn over me.
20:00She's a bright girl, Emma.
20:02But she started the class late.
20:04Okay, there's no way that she had time to put together a data model that was as good as mine.
20:09And you know Dalton said that mine was corrupted?
20:11How do you think that happened?
20:13I don't know.
20:13I did drop it into the sand at the beach last night, and I freaked out, and it was missing, and Jocelyn was great, and...
20:24Oh, my God.
20:26What?
20:28Jocelyn sabotaged me.
20:29You scared me.
20:45I thought you were Dalton.
20:47Nope.
20:47I watched him get in his car and drive away.
20:49What are you doing here?
20:50I thought you could use a little help from the maintenance department.
20:56Well, I already scanned, but whatever.
21:01Doesn't hurt to do it again.
21:03All clear.
21:05So, you snagged the research assistant, John.
21:09Good for you.
21:13Emma's very upset.
21:15Not our concern.
21:16Let's get to work.
21:23You keep saying that Dante needs to know the truth about his son.
21:27Have you thought about the son and what he needs?
21:32Because if you're right, and it is Gio, you have to consider how profoundly you would turn his life upside down.
21:40But Gio lost both of his parents.
21:43If I'm right, I would be giving him a family.
21:46Yeah.
21:47And destroying the memory of the one he had.
21:51Gio will learn that everyone he's ever loved has lied to him, including his mother.
21:57His entire life.
21:58That would be devastating for him.
22:00Maybe.
22:02At first.
22:04But wouldn't it be better for Gio to know the truth rather than keep living a lie?
22:08And here we are back to you playing God and deciding what's best for everyone.
22:14Even if you're right, you have to let this go.
22:17It's not your secret to tell.
22:21Jason.
22:22Wait.
22:24Please, just hear me out.
22:30Oh, thank you.
22:32Okay.
22:33So.
22:34I figured you were going to have some objections.
22:41In exchange for your services, I am prepared to do something that might benefit your friend, Sonny.
22:49What's that?
22:52If you find Brooklyn's child, I am prepared to withdraw my support for the anti-Sonny campaign and to advocate for him to keep his waterfront property.
23:10You have been going after Sonny for years.
23:15And now you're just willing to give it all up.
23:18For my great-grandson?
23:21Yes.
23:22That's how much this means to me.
23:25Why not just get a PI?
23:27Because I trust you to do whatever it takes to find him, even if it means breaking a few laws.
23:36And I want to keep this in the family.
23:39Jason, he's a quarter main.
23:43He deserves to know that.
23:47What ulterior motive could you possibly have?
23:51Well, when you first approached me about the nurse's ball, you pointed out that by donating, I might change people's perception about me and maybe make a mark in this town.
24:06And guess what?
24:09You're right.
24:11Say more.
24:13People have been so much more welcoming.
24:16You've been a fantastic ambassador and I can't thank you enough.
24:25Well, you're welcome.
24:25I have to admit something, though.
24:28At the beginning, I had some misgivings about you.
24:32But when I saw how much you care about your son, how much you love him, and how wonderful you have been, and generous giving toward the nurse's ball,
24:44I just realized what an amazingly special, wonderful person you are, and I think it's my mission to let everybody in Port Charles know that, too.
24:54Oh.
24:57Sonny, you know as well as I do that your presence here in Port Charles has, for the most part, kept the peace among the local crime bosses.
25:09I don't think Jen Sidwell gives a damn about that.
25:14I think that he's going to usher in a whole new level of crime and violence in this city.
25:21I can't predict the future any more than you can, Laura.
25:27We both have our reservations about Sidwell, but we don't know for sure.
25:35We can make a pretty good guess.
25:37All right.
25:38Let's say you're right.
25:40Okay?
25:40Yeah.
25:42Is it my responsibility to put him in check, make sure he doesn't get out of line?
25:49Or is that up to you?
25:52You're right.
25:55This hasn't been fair of me, has it?
25:57It's not fair of me to ask you to put the city of Port Charles ahead of your own family and yourself.
26:06Okay, Sonny.
26:07If you think it's time for you to walk away,
26:13I fully support you in that.
26:19I asked your dad not to print the editorial because I didn't want him or Aurora open to a libel suit.
26:29What if Drew proves that he was drugged?
26:33Curtis would be on record casting doubt on the victim.
26:36I mean, yeah, I see your point.
26:41How did Dad take it?
26:42He saw my point, too.
26:44He called off the editorial.
26:47I wasn't in favor of Kai's surgery, but it worked out.
26:52Maybe, just maybe, we should back off of Drew just a little bit.
26:56I mean, him pushing Kai to have that surgery, it might have been the right thing to do all along.
27:01Yes.
27:03Kai does seem happy.
27:05Like, honey, there you go.
27:06I would just love for our family to find some sort of middle ground with Drew.
27:15One that doesn't involve an open conflict between him and Curtis.
27:19Are you saying you want Dad to make peace with Drew?
27:26What do you think Portia and Drew's conversations are about?
27:29I have no idea.
27:31She talks about hating Drew.
27:33I believe her.
27:35And then she takes a gentler, kinder approach to things,
27:39and there's just no conviction behind it.
27:42I feel like she takes that position because she has to.
27:47You think Drew is forcing her to do it?
27:49Which means that he has some leverage on her.
27:52And I hate thinking about what that could mean.
27:54But I think it's not the cause.
28:04I know I don't remember.
28:05I know.
28:12I know.
28:13I know.
28:14I know.
28:15I know.
28:16I know.
28:17I know.
28:18I know.
28:19I know.
28:20I can't call you.
28:21I can't call you.
28:21I can't call you.
28:22I know this is a disappointment that you didn't see coming,
28:28but I think maybe you're being a little paranoid.
28:32No, I'm positive that Jocelyn did something to my data model.
28:35And I bet you she stole my work and passed it off as her own.
28:39I have to tell Professor Dalton.
28:40Oh, Emma, no, no, no.
28:42You cannot make an accusation like this without proof.
28:44That will not go down well at all.
28:46I'm not just going to let her get away with it.
28:48Okay, she purposely went after my job,
28:50even after I explained to her why it was so important to me.
28:53Why is it so important to you?
28:55Because Dalton is doing groundbreaking research,
28:58and I need to be a part of it.
29:00As upsetting as this is,
29:02a decision has been made,
29:03and there will be other summer jobs.
29:05But this is the job.
29:06And I know that you are very disappointed,
29:09and I am genuinely sorry about it.
29:12But I do feel that you should let this go.
29:15Well, it looks like Lucy has gotten over her reservations about Jens.
29:24She is forgiving.
29:26How about you?
29:28Okay, well, his Zinkite has made deception a lot of money,
29:32but I'm worried our association with him will come back to haunt us.
29:37As long as you keep your eyes wide open,
29:40you should be fine.
29:42Yeah.
29:45Well, I am sorry to say that I have to get going.
29:49I was hoping to get a sneak peek of your act,
29:51but I guess you just have to wait for it to be a big surprise.
29:55Oh, it will be.
29:57And I promise you, it will be worth the wait.
30:02I just want to be sure that my political future
30:08will not factor into any of your decision-making about any of this,
30:14because you and your family,
30:16you deserve to be secure and happy,
30:19and that should be the only thing guiding your thoughts.
30:23I'm not sure if that means keeping the status quo or walking away.
30:28There's risk in both.
30:30But you are a very smart man.
30:34You will make the right decision.
30:35I know you will.
30:37And whatever you decide,
30:40I just want you to know
30:41that you will always have my love and respect.
30:47I appreciate that a lot.
30:49I mean, you coming over here,
30:50listen to me talking the whole thing,
30:54but I'm not sure what I'm going to do,
30:58but I'll let you know.
31:01Tracy, I feel for you.
31:04I mean, it's got to be tough to know
31:07that you have a great-grandson out there somewhere.
31:10So help me find him.
31:13I can't.
31:15I mean, Brooklyn,
31:16she made a decision for her baby and for herself,
31:19and I got to respect that.
31:21But if she changes her mind,
31:23she wants my help,
31:24she can come to me,
31:24but I need to hear this directly from her.
31:28Fine.
31:34Then I will just have to find him through other means.
31:38And I trust you to keep this to yourself.
31:41I will.
31:44Also, you know that you have
31:46sealed Sonny's fate.
31:51I was willing to back off.
31:56But now,
31:57I'm not going to stop
32:00until I run that man out of Port Charles for good.
32:10This secret affects a lot of people I love,
32:13and not just Dante and Rocco.
32:17Gio would be Tracy's great-grandson.
32:21Sonny would be his grandfather.
32:25Knowing that could be true,
32:26that's something you can keep from him?
32:27Yeah.
32:28I'd feel bad about it, but yes.
32:31Now that I think about it,
32:35Sonny's being and Gio's life all these years
32:38only proves that I might be right.
32:42Hold on.
32:43You think Sonny knows?
32:44No.
32:45But I do think Lois went to him
32:47for help with Gio's education,
32:49not because Sonny had money,
32:51but because she knew
32:52he was Gio's grandfather.
32:57Okay, if you're right,
32:59this is one huge mess.
33:01If I'm wrong,
33:02and Gio is not Dante's son,
33:04I will drop it,
33:05and I'll stop searching for the kid.
33:07And if he is?
33:07I have to tell Dante.
33:11You better be right.
33:13You need to have proof
33:14that Gio is Dante's son.
33:16Or at the very least,
33:17proof that Gio is not Camilla's son.
33:20Because if you don't,
33:21this is going to blow up in your face.
33:23I don't know about peace,
33:28but I'd settle for coexisting.
33:31In other words,
33:32you don't want Dad
33:34making any trouble for Drew.
33:35Let Drew do his thing,
33:37and we do ours.
33:40I think you're going to have
33:41a tough time selling that to Dad.
33:43Maybe not,
33:44because I made my pitch,
33:46and it seemed like he was listening.
33:47This is the part where you tell me
33:50I'm overreacting.
33:52You have good instincts, Curtis.
33:54You always have,
33:56and I never bet against them.
33:58But I think the obvious answer here is
34:00talk to Portia.
34:03It's easier said than done.
34:05Yeah, but it's better than wondering
34:07and being suspicious.
34:09But a word of caution
34:10from someone who once kept things from you.
34:14Go on.
34:15Once I told the first lie,
34:16it was hard not to keep
34:18digging myself in deeper.
34:20I wanted to come clean plenty of times,
34:22but there just didn't seem to be a way out.
34:26Maybe Portia is falling into the same trap.
34:30So you're saying I should try to hear her out?
34:33Yeah.
34:37I'll hear what you're saying.
34:39I'll try.
34:41I just pray
34:42that I'm wrong about all of this.
34:46Okay, I think I have everything.
34:54Okay.
34:55All of the Bureau run an analysis, but...
34:58We probably didn't find anything of value here.
35:00I don't think Dalton would leave anything incriminating.
35:02I'm not.
35:03It's too accessible.
35:04Well, I did sign an NDA,
35:06which had very strict language about working in the lab.
35:09Right.
35:10Because what we're after isn't in his office.
35:12It's in his lab.
35:13I'm already looking for the evidence I need.
35:19I even spoke with Ned earlier today.
35:22You didn't tell him about your suspicion, did you?
35:24No, of course not.
35:25He doesn't know that Brooklyn had a child.
35:27I was just fishing for info.
35:29What kind of info?
35:30Like where Lois and Brooklyn were around the time when Gio was born.
35:35What'd he say?
35:36Mother and daughter were on a tour with Miguel Merez.
35:41Brooklyn claims she gave birth in San Francisco,
35:44but I'm wondering if the tour had a stop in L.A. where Gio was born.
35:50Okay, well, that's a good start.
35:52But you can't whisper a word about your theory to anyone
35:55until you can back it all up.
35:57I know.
35:58I need proof.
36:00And I know just where to find it.
36:04Oh, I'm glad I ran into you.
36:06I wanted to let you know that I'm doubling down on my efforts
36:09to rid poor Charles of Sonny Carinthos.
36:13Well, I'm glad to hear it.
36:15I'm just as determined myself.
36:17Good.
36:17We'll talk later.
36:18I'm late for rehearsal.
36:19Oh.
36:21All right, ladies.
36:23Chop, chop.
36:23Let's get this show on the road.
36:25It's about damn time.
36:28Can you dance in that outfit?
36:30I'm not dancing.
36:32I'm going to stay put and sing,
36:33and you're all going to dance around me.
36:36That's the only way I'm doing this.
36:38Luckily, that's exactly how we're doing it.
36:40So places, everyone.
36:42Okay.
36:43Ready?
36:50I just want you to know that your friendship and support
36:54means everything to me.
36:56I feel the same way about you, Sonny.
37:01Take care of yourself.
37:04I will.
37:04Hey, Laura.
37:12Good to see you.
37:13Nice to see you, too, Jason.
37:18Watch out for this one.
37:22I'll just leave you to it.
37:24Everything good?
37:29Yeah, I told Laura about Sigil's offer, and, uh, you know, and it's solved all our problems.
37:40And?
37:41She didn't like it.
37:42She understood and accepted it.
37:45Well, Tracy, uh, just offered an alternative.
37:52What?
37:52She said she would cut off all of her support for Measure C if I did her a personal favor.
38:00And?
38:00I didn't want to go into it because it wasn't something I was comfortable with, so I turned her down.
38:05Look, we don't need to be making deals with Tracy Cora.
38:09Yeah, but that still leaves us in a bite.
38:12Well, you know what?
38:13Spending time with Laura.
38:15So, uh, I got clear on a few things, and one thing that she said was, you need to take care of your family.
38:29And that's what I'm gonna do.
38:33On the next General Hospital, you said something about the breaks.
38:37What I'm asking you to do could save Christina's life.
38:39I don't know if I'm ever gonna be able to forgive her and trust her again.
38:43I know exactly who to call.
38:44I have to get those kids out of that house as soon as possible.
38:47No, this can't be happening.
