General Hospital – Episode 6-2
Transcript
00:00What do you know about my accident that you haven't told me?
00:05I know that Christina caused it.
00:16Good morning.
00:17Um, hi, Michael. Oh, my God.
00:21So good to see you.
00:23So good to see you.
00:25I'm so glad I didn't leave for the courthouse yet.
00:28I was really hoping that wasn't going to be the first time I saw you because I have so much to tell you.
00:34I'm sorry.
00:35Did you say money is missing from from Ace's trust?
00:40Well, it certainly looks that way to me, but I'm not the trustee.
00:43You are.
00:44I get financial statements because I am Ace's legal guardian.
00:48And it seems that, well, over about the past month and a half, it looks like 10 million dollars has been removed from Ace's estate.
00:58Am I wrong about that?
01:01Mom, did you see this?
01:04What is it, honey?
01:05It's Chio.
01:11What happened, Mom?
01:20Chio.
01:20It's okay.
01:26It's good to see you.
01:28Come on in.
01:30Before I do, I have a question.
01:32Yeah, go ahead.
01:34Did you know?
01:36Two things are never going to change.
01:39Chio's always going to know that I gave him up.
01:41And I'm always going to know that you lied to me.
01:46He doesn't want anything to do with me, and I don't want anything to do with you.
01:50Hey, how dare you talk to your mother like that?
01:55You wanted to have it out with someone, young lady?
01:59You have it out with me.
02:01That's how it's going to be now, Mom?
02:03Going to hide behind Grandma?
02:04I'm not hiding behind anyone.
02:07I'm trying to get you to understand.
02:10Nothing will make me understand how the two people who I loved and trusted the most in
02:16this world could lie to me the way you two have.
02:18That's enough, Brooklyn.
02:19Oh, please.
02:21I am just getting started.
02:23All these posts said that Chio said Dad and Brooklyn are his parents?
02:27Is that for real?
02:30Mom!
02:31Well...
02:33Yeah.
02:37Chio's tell the truth.
02:40He is my son, and he is your brother.
02:57If I saw those figures without knowing what they...
03:14Well, please sit.
03:16Without knowing what they were, I would have lost my mind.
03:20Yeah.
03:22Just investments.
03:23So I can exhale?
03:25Oh, yes, please.
03:27I'm so sorry.
03:28I should have told you sooner.
03:30Yeah, I've just been so busy.
03:33I just thought it would be best to diversify some of the trust's portfolio.
03:39There's this mutual fund.
03:41It's very high-rated.
03:43It's called Dolos Fund, and so I just moved some of the funds there.
03:49It's perfectly safe.
03:51Okay.
03:52Now, that's very reassuring, but I'm a bit surprised.
03:56Why is that?
03:58I didn't think you'd be quite so hands-on.
04:00I mean, let's face it, you didn't want to be the trustee.
04:03You took it out of obligation.
04:06True.
04:06I mean, I'd rather not have anything to do with anything Casadine, but, you know, I was given the job, whether I like it or not, and I just see it as an obligation.
04:21You know, to make sure that Ace's inheritance remains in the strongest possible condition.
04:27Well, then, I'm impressed with you.
04:29Ace is family, and nothing's more important than family.
04:34What does Christina have to do with any of this?
04:36The day of the accident, Christina went to Ava's apartment, and they got into an altercation.
04:46It got really heated and pretty brutal.
04:49Yeah, I've seen them go at it before in the park over Avery.
04:54Well, after their big blow-up, Christina went to the parking garage, and she saw what she thought was Ava's car parked in her usual spot.
05:03And then she cut the brake lines.
05:09But it wasn't Ava's car, was it?
05:12No.
05:15It was Rick's.
05:20So, how's the family?
05:21Everyone good?
05:23Uh, Molly and I are actually great right now, if you can believe it.
05:27And, um, my mom and I are, uh, fine.
05:33We're fine, is what we are.
05:35You know, family's complicated.
05:37I can't believe you just got here, and you're walking right into a custody battle.
05:42It wouldn't have been my first choice, either, but it's time.
05:46I need to settle this once and for all.
05:49Listen, Michael, I know you always like to see the best in people.
05:54And I'm sure you're probably thinking that about Willow right now on some level.
05:59And I know you want to do right by your kids.
06:01And deep down, maybe you're telling yourself that Willow is a good mother.
06:08And you might be thinking about maybe making some compromises.
06:12But I have to tell you, that would really be the wrong move here.
06:16You got some questions.
06:19I got some questions of my own, so maybe you should just come inside and we can get some answers.
06:25I'm not going to force you to stay, but I think we should have this conversation.
06:33What do you say?
06:33You didn't say no, so I guess that means you did know that I was your grandson.
06:43No, I didn't.
06:45And I'm not going to lie to you.
06:47First time I heard about it was when you were on the stage and you announced it to the world.
06:53You had no idea that Dante had another son somewhere.
06:57I didn't even know Brooklyn was ever pregnant, which is surprising since I'm so close to Lois.
07:04And I don't get it.
07:05If you didn't know that I was your grandson, why have you always been so nice to me?
07:14You paid for my lessons, my music, my education, ever since I was a kid.
07:20And if you knew, it would all make sense, but you didn't.
07:25So why have you been so generous to me?
07:28When Lois introduced me to you, I didn't know you were my grandson, but I knew you were special.
07:35And that has not changed.
07:42So all these posts are true.
07:43You and Brooklyn are Gio's parents?
07:48You know what, Rocco?
07:49All of this just came out last night.
07:50I think your dad and a lot of other people are still trying to make sense out of all of it.
07:56But, Dad, how can any of this be true?
07:59Gio's mom's name was Camilla.
08:01She was a violinist like him.
08:03His dad was a soldier and he died in the war.
08:05Yeah, I know all that.
08:09That's what Gio, that's what we were all led to believe.
08:12But Gio was lied to.
08:15Him and everyone else.
08:17You need to calm down and cool off.
08:25I know emotions are running high.
08:27And I know you have a lot to process.
08:30But your mother is still your mother.
08:35And I am still your grandmother.
08:37And you have to show the both of us some respect.
08:41Okay.
08:42Let's talk about your mom.
08:51Gio, your teenage pregnancy didn't just affect you.
08:58Imagine the position you put her in.
09:01Her baby girl comes home from camp pregnant.
09:06That's not something you just shrug off.
09:10You said that you weren't ready to be a mother.
09:14And I trusted you enough to know yourself.
09:17So I respected your wishes.
09:21By lying to me.
09:22No.
09:24By protecting you.
09:26By doing what I thought was best for you and your child.
09:31Brooklyn, you can't see it now.
09:33But your mother lied to spare you.
09:37And believe me, it ate her alive every day.
09:42Is that what you tell yourself, Mom?
09:44That you were sparing me?
09:47You took my child and hid him under my nose because you were sparing me?
09:51Keeping your child in the family was the only way to ensure that Gio was going to be taken care of and happy.
10:00And he was.
10:02Camilla was a godsend.
10:05What would you have rathered?
10:07That we give him to strangers and you never see him again?
10:12Would that have been a better plan?
10:18I'm kind of surprised to hear you say that.
10:20You always seemed like you were willing to give Willow the benefit of the doubt.
10:23I was.
10:24And I tried.
10:25I really thought she would come to her senses and realize that this whole thing with Drew is a mistake.
10:31It didn't happen, huh?
10:32No.
10:33And it's not going to, either.
10:35She is more consumed with Drew now than she ever has been.
10:39It's actually...
10:41It's just like how she was with Shiloh.
10:44Oh, I know.
10:46And that much was clear, even an ocean away.
10:48Oh, she's just been bouncing these kids around, too.
10:51She's taking them to the quarter mains and to Nina's and to Drew's.
10:55We hardly even see them anymore.
10:56If Drew gets his way, it's only going to get worse.
10:59He bought property in D.C.
11:00Wait, he's just going to move Scout, Willow, and your children to D.C.?
11:06You know, they had to tear the car apart just to get us out.
11:13I had to have surgery.
11:15Rick had internal bleeding.
11:17He almost died.
11:19I know.
11:20I know.
11:20I know how bad it was.
11:21How long have you known about this?
11:24How long have you known that Christina was responsible?
11:28Since the night it happened.
11:30What?
11:31Yeah.
11:32Since that night.
11:34And, uh...
11:35I've been covering for Christina ever since.
11:40Come on, Sonny.
11:41I appreciate that you like me, but there's got to be more than that.
11:44Lois asked you to help me out, right?
11:46Yeah, she did.
11:48Lois is my oldest friend.
11:50And Cirillo's our family.
11:53So, when Lois and Gloria asked to help you out, you know, as far as your music and your education, I was more than happy to.
12:02That's what family does.
12:04And you and I, we were a lot closer than you realized.
12:09Yeah.
12:10Because Lois lied.
12:12It's a little more complicated than that.
12:15Let's have a seat.
12:16Do you know, uh, the story of Dante being my son?
12:25Pits and pieces?
12:26Right.
12:27Well, when, uh, Lois found out that Dante was my son, it was before your mother, Camilla, died.
12:35So, you're saying Olivia pulled Lois and never told you about Dante?
12:41Oh, no.
12:42No, no, no.
12:43She, she kept it from me and she kept it from everybody.
12:46But I think she kept it from me because of, you know, she was worried about my affiliations.
12:51So, Lois didn't actually know that you were my grandfather until she found out that Dante was your son.
12:59That's why you didn't know.
13:04Lois, man, the great keeper of secrets.
13:08She never was, but in this case, she is.
13:11But I'm not going to defend Lois or her choices.
13:14But think of it this way.
13:15Her choices and her secrets is the reason that Dante and I know where you're coming from.
13:24I didn't know that Brooklyn and I had a child.
13:31I definitely didn't know that that child was Gio.
13:36You and Brooklyn, that doesn't even make sense.
13:38When were you guys even together?
13:41Um, all right.
13:42We, uh, we were camp counselors for a summer when we were kids, not much older than you.
13:48You and Brooklyn hooked up and she got pregnant while she was at camp?
13:52Um, look, I'm not proud of it, but we were teenagers and we got careless and we made a mistake.
14:01Rocco, your dad didn't know that he got Brooklyn pregnant.
14:05Brooklyn didn't tell me that she'd gotten pregnant and that she'd had the baby and put that baby up for adoption.
14:15Gio's mom, Camilla.
14:16Apparently, look, I'm, I'm trying to get all these details straight myself.
14:22There's, there's a, there's a lot to figure out.
14:26Well, Brooklyn never told you you had a son.
14:28No, she didn't.
14:29I found out the same way everyone else did when Gio announced it and smashed his violin last night.
14:39You don't get to twist this.
14:42If it was up to the two of you, I never would have even known that Gio was mine.
14:47I would still be hoping and praying that my son was out there somewhere living a safe and happy life.
14:53I didn't even know I had a son.
14:54Your son was happy.
14:57That's what this was all about.
15:00You're acting like we didn't make sure that your baby was loved, well, protected and happy.
15:08He was the priority.
15:10I didn't say that.
15:12But you two are acting like you did nothing wrong.
15:15Like you don't regret anything, not a single thing.
15:18What mother doesn't have regrets?
15:20I regret how all of this came out.
15:26Honey, I regret how much pain you are in and I regret how much you resent your grandmother and me.
15:34But do you regret giving my baby to Camille?
15:38No.
15:39Don't regret lying to me for 22 years.
15:44Or letting me see Gio at block parties and Christmas.
15:48Easter celebrations, never knowing he was my son.
15:54We made the decision we thought was the best.
15:57Really?
15:58Because when Camilla died, Gio became an orphan.
16:01And still you two said nothing.
16:04Who's that best for, huh?
16:06Don't overextend yourself with this trust fund thing, okay?
16:16Um, we both know that the Casadine fortune carries a lot of baggage.
16:22It certainly does.
16:24Yeah.
16:25So don't allow it to add to your stress level.
16:28Well, thank you for understanding.
16:30I just, I really need to follow my conscience.
16:34Okay.
16:39I really appreciate you stopping by.
16:41It's always good to see you.
16:42You too.
16:46Sorry to interrupt.
16:47It's been such a busy morning.
16:49Here are the balance sheets for the DOLIS fund that you requested earlier.
16:53Mayor Collins mentioned that she had some questions on the expenditure, so I thought I would get them to you now.
16:58Thank you, Suzanne.
16:59That was above and beyond.
17:02Would you like to go over this?
17:03I can't right now.
17:05I've got to get to my next appointment.
17:06Just in the future, please keep me a little more informed.
17:09All right.
17:09Thanks.
17:09I appreciate that.
17:10Have a lovely day, ladies.
17:13Oh, Mayor Collins.
17:15Congratulations.
17:16I saw on the Internet that your extended family has a new addition.
17:21Excuse me?
17:22I don't understand.
17:24Why wouldn't Brooklyn tell you you have a kid?
17:26You're like the best dad.
17:27Everyone knows that.
17:29I don't know how much Brooklyn knew.
17:32I mean, she knew she had a baby.
17:34Okay.
17:35You know what, Rocco?
17:36A lot of these questions you have, your dad, he can't answer right now.
17:39At least not yet.
17:40But he's still trying to make sense out of all this, like the rest of us.
17:44Well, that sucks.
17:45I mean, don't we deserve some answers?
17:47Gio's my brother.
17:48We missed out on practically everything.
17:51I know.
17:51And we are so sorry about that.
17:54And your dad, he's going to get the answers that he needs, and so will you.
17:58We will.
17:59Okay, I promise you, we're going to figure this out.
18:02It's just a lot.
18:04Yeah, that's what they call an understatement.
18:06If this was some big secret that you didn't know and Gio didn't know, then how do you find out the truth?
18:15Gio was 12 years old when Camilla died.
18:18You don't think he needed a mother then?
18:19Because Camilla's death tore him apart.
18:23We were just trying to get him through.
18:27Gio adored Camilla.
18:29That poor boy would have been traumatized all over again if we took the memory of his mother away from him.
18:36So you chose to keep him away from me?
18:40My son was alone in this world at his lowest point.
18:43He wasn't alone.
18:45He was loved.
18:46He was cared for.
18:47He wasn't loved and cared for by me.
18:51I was here.
18:53I was an adult.
18:56You kept me away from my son when he was all alone, and I will never forgive you for that.
19:03Now that you know that Dante and Brooklyn are your parents, circumstances are different, but I kind of get it.
19:13You're getting to know a parent now.
19:15That you didn't know you had as an adult.
19:19Was it easy for you and Dante?
19:22No.
19:23Not at all.
19:24You know, that kind of knowledge just kind of changed everything.
19:30Dante went from being an adversary to being my son.
19:35And it took a while before that meant anything.
19:39I mean, we had to live through it and work it day to day.
19:44You guys are cool now.
19:47Right?
19:47Yeah, I'm proud.
19:50I'm proud of that.
19:51And, you know, it took years.
19:56Just like it may take you some time to build a relationship with Dante.
20:01What if I don't want that?
20:06So, Willow is going to take your children away from you?
20:12This doesn't even sound like her.
20:14I honestly, I don't even recognize Willow anymore.
20:17I don't either.
20:18For a while, I want to believe it was just Drew manipulating her, but...
20:22So you just, you don't think that's the case anymore?
20:26Now, Willow, she's not some delicate flower.
20:29She has agency.
20:30She's responsible for her own choices, and she's made them.
20:33She chose to prioritize Drew.
20:38She chose to destroy her family.
20:41I can't believe this.
20:45Look, Christina showed up at Charlie's.
20:48She was all over the place.
20:50Yeah, because she just caused someone's brake lines.
20:52And she just ran out of there.
20:54I went after her.
20:55She called Ava and tried to warn her, but she couldn't reach her.
20:57It wouldn't have mattered.
20:58We weren't in Ava's car.
21:00I know, I know.
21:02Look, I found Christina pulled over on the side of the road near the crash site.
21:07She was totally freaked out.
21:09And then she just, she went into shock when she saw Rick being pulled out of the car.
21:13She said she thought it was Ava.
21:16That's when I knew that she caused the crash.
21:19If that's when you knew, that's when you knew, Lucky?
21:23If that's when you knew, then why haven't you turned Christina into the police?
21:31Christina could get charged with three counts of attempted murder and go to prison for life.
21:37Maybe that's where she belongs.
21:38Yeah, but you didn't see her that night.
21:41You didn't see the regret in her eyes.
21:43This wasn't premeditated.
21:44It was, it was more like a crime of passion, a complete lapse of judgment.
21:49And once she realized what she had done, she tried to stop it.
21:54But she couldn't.
21:55Because she had already cut the brake lines and Rick was already behind the wheel of the car.
21:59He could have died.
22:02Lucky, I could have died.
22:03I know.
22:04I know that.
22:05And the only reason that Christina isn't behind bars right now is because you didn't.
22:12Look, I know how horrible this has been for everyone.
22:17But by some miracle, you survived.
22:23You're going to be okay.
22:24Rick is going to be okay.
22:27So I just, I don't see how it benefits anyone to send Christina to prison for the rest of her life.
22:33I can see one benefit.
22:35One if it keeps Ava from being killed.
22:39In all fairness, I wasn't a perfect husband.
22:42We had our problems, but I loved Willow.
22:45What I've had to reconcile with these past couple months is
22:48I don't think Willow and I ever really saw each other clearly.
22:53And we only showed parts that we wanted the other person to see.
22:57And we hid all the dark parts.
22:59You would have handled any darkness Willow had to show you if she would have just been honest with you.
23:04Yeah, probably.
23:06But I know she couldn't handle mine.
23:09Gio found out the truth.
23:11Because of me.
23:12I uncovered information that Brooklyn had a baby as a teenager and that your dad was the father.
23:21I thought that your dad deserved to know the truth, so I started investigating.
23:27And no one was more surprised than I was to find out that the baby was Gio.
23:31And he was living right under our noses at the quarter mains.
23:34Nothing with me and dad.
23:38I don't care why Brooklyn kept this from us.
23:42I don't exactly know what Brooklyn knew.
23:46And I really struggled with what the right thing to do was.
23:54Do I tell the truth or keep quiet?
23:57But I need you to understand that I respect adoption as well as Brooklyn's right to make our own choices.
24:07What I took issue with were the lies.
24:11Gio's your half-brother.
24:12And like you said, your dad, he's an amazing father.
24:21So when I found out that Gio was here and in your lives,
24:26I couldn't keep quiet anymore.
24:29I can't tell you how to feel.
24:34You're a grown man.
24:35You're going to make, you know, your own choices.
24:38But I will say this.
24:42Dante is a good man.
24:45He's a great father.
24:47And if you give him a chance, he'll show you.
24:52Dante doesn't like me.
24:53He made that perfectly clear after everything that happened with Rocco's alcohol poisoning.
25:00And I'm not interested in having a relationship with him just because of biology.
25:04Yeah, I understand you're hurt.
25:06You feel, you know, angry and betrayed.
25:10But that's not, you know, the best state of mind to be in when you're making that decision.
25:16You need to take some time, right?
25:19See how you feel.
25:21Figure it out.
25:23And then make the decision whether you, what you're open to, what you're not open to.
25:31Can I ask you a question?
25:32Yeah.
25:34Olivia lied to you about Dante.
25:36Right.
25:37Did you ever really stop hating for that?
25:40I never hated her.
25:42I was angry.
25:44And it took a long time to get past that.
25:50But I love her.
25:51But yes, there are times when I think about how much time I missed with Dante.
26:03But you know what?
26:06I forgave her.
26:08And I don't regret a second of it.
26:14Brooklyn.
26:15Your mother and I have always done what's best for you.
26:19Look at the beautiful life you have.
26:21You owe that all to her.
26:22Stop hating her.
26:24Stop hating her.
26:26Try thanking her.
26:29Thank her.
26:31My child's in pain because of her.
26:34And because of both of you.
26:36I miss my son's entire life.
26:38We made a decision.
26:40And going back at that at any point would have destroyed your life or Gio's.
26:46You don't know that.
26:48You don't know what life I could have given Gio.
26:53What are you going to give to me?
26:55To keep Christina from trying to kill Ava again.
27:05What's going to happen if Ava upsets her and gives her reason to lash out?
27:11Christina understands what this almost cost her.
27:13It was a wake-up call.
27:15She's not going to do it again.
27:16Scissor?
27:17I'm not.
27:19I'm just not convinced.
27:21And I don't understand.
27:22Why is it on you to cover for her?
27:24Her mother is a lawyer.
27:25Let her get her out of this.
27:26Well, it's a little too late for that.
27:28I mean, I helped her cover this up.
27:30So I'm an accessory.
27:36Oh.
27:40So if you go to the police, then you could be charged too.
27:46Go out.
27:47Great.
27:49Okay.
27:50Well, I guess that settles it.
27:54No, no.
27:55Look, you're the victim here.
27:57If you feel like you need to go to the police, I am not going to stand in your way.
28:00I'm not going to risk you going to prison.
28:02This doesn't just affect you and me.
28:05Think about what this would do to Aiden.
28:07And then you've got Rick and his daughter Molly and then Alexis.
28:13Alexis is still grieving the loss of Sam.
28:16I'm not going to send one of her remaining daughters to prison.
28:20It's more than one mother can handle.
28:23I know.
28:25I know.
28:25I mean, every time I see Lulu, I just think of how much I owe Sam and her family.
28:34And I think on some level, that debt is what drove me to protect Christina in the first place.
28:42Do you really think that Christina won't try to hurt Ava again?
28:47Yes, I really do.
28:53Then it looks like sending her to prison would only harm more people who don't deserve to be hurt.
28:59I'll keep Christina's secret.
29:05I'm sorry about this morning.
29:07I know that you don't like gossip.
29:09I just assumed the mayor knew what happened at the nurses' ball last night.
29:13Oh, your knack for oversharing worked out this time, Suzanne, because Mayor Collins had every right to know.
29:19Come in, Marco.
29:23I hope you're not too busy, Alexis.
29:26We need to discuss the dolos fund statements Suzanne asked me to pull.
29:29Very busy morning, all hands on deck.
29:39What do you need to address?
29:41I made an error in judgment when it came to Willow.
29:43I'm sure she feels the same way.
29:48Well, it's not like Drew's ever going to make her happy.
29:50No, he won't.
29:52But Willow destroyed her life to be with him, so she has to make it seem like all the bad decisions she made to do that was worth it.
29:58And covering for her bad decisions is apparently more important to her than our children.
30:02But this is what's happening.
30:03Everyone keeps trying to tell her that, and she just shuts us all down and claims that her children are happy with their new family.
30:10She has to say that.
30:12The truth is Wiley and Emilia are no longer emotionally safe with Willow, so I'm going to take them.
30:17No matter what it costs Willow.
30:19Growing up, I would say that I love my quarter main family, but that I didn't trust them.
30:25You know, I had to watch my back.
30:27But it wasn't until right now that I realized that the family I wasn't safe with was you.
30:34That's not fair, and it's not true.
30:38Your mother loves you more than anything, and every decision she ever made was to protect you.
30:44And you and Gio are not hurting because of her.
30:49That honor goes to Lulu Spencer, who is messing around looking at things that were none of her business.
30:56There is plenty of blame to go around, but Lulu hates me.
30:59And she always has.
31:01I don't expect anything from her.
31:03But you too.
31:05If this is how you show love, I don't want any part of it.
31:09No, Brooklyn, wait.
31:10Wait.
31:11Honey, please.
31:12Look, I know you're angry.
31:16Angrier than you've ever been, but...
31:19Please tell me that you're not questioning...
31:24That I love you.
31:28Just tell me that you believe that I love you.
31:32Have you told Gio?
31:36No.
31:38I'm pretty sure he overheard a conversation between me and Lois.
31:42I was going to tell your dad the truth, but then Gio went public with everything before I could.
31:47What are you going to do now?
31:49Do you want me to try and, like, talk to Gio?
31:51No, thanks, buddy.
31:52I appreciate that, buddy.
31:55It's on me to fix this with Gio, not you.
32:02I just got to figure out where to start.
32:07So, look, I know you've got a lot to figure out.
32:10If you need a place to stay, I'm your grandfather.
32:13So, my home is your home.
32:17I mean, even if I wasn't your grandfather, my home would still be your home.
32:21But, uh...
32:22Anyway, anything you need, I'm here.
32:26But whatever I do next, I'm going to do it on my own.
32:35For myself.
32:39See you around, Sonny.
32:40I put my kids into this situation.
32:51It's my responsibility to get them out of it.
32:53Well, I'll help you any way I can.
32:59But if I don't have any other option,
33:02I won't break Willow down to nothing
33:05to keep my kids away from her.
33:08The very strong feeling when you walk into that courtroom,
33:13Willow's going to see a Michael Corinthos she has never seen before.
33:19This company is brand new and incorporated in the Grand Keys.
33:23It's been in existence for less than a month.
33:25And its only assets are the 10 million the Cassidyne estate has invested in it.
33:31A cursory look makes me think that
33:33the Dolos Fund is a shell company.
33:36We might be dealing with a case of fraud.
33:39There is no fraud.
33:41I'm on it.
33:41And I can assure you the company's been vetted.
33:45Alexis, I realize I'm new here.
33:47And I like this firm.
33:49I like you.
33:50But I've seen setups like this before.
33:52And what's laid out in these records looks like a setup for money laundering.
33:57Are you sure you're good?
34:00I'm so sorry to put all of this on you,
34:04but I...
34:04I owed you the truth.
34:07Yeah, you did.
34:10I'm...
34:10I'm glad you were finally able to be honest with me.
34:15But why now?
34:15What changed?
34:17If we're gonna do this,
34:20really do this,
34:22then I can't lie to you.
34:26I mean, I know
34:27being with me requires a big leap of faith.
34:32And I want to be worthy
34:34of your trust.
34:38Elizabeth, you're...
34:39You're the most important thing
34:41in the world to me.
34:43You understand that?
34:44I mean, if you had to survive that crash,
34:49I wouldn't have been able to handle it.
34:52Well, thankfully, I'm fine.
34:56And once I get this cast off later today,
34:59you just move on
35:02from all of this.
35:03You know, in some ways,
35:14you've taken a really, really horrible situation
35:17and
35:18made it surprisingly
35:21wonderful.
35:24Well, you and me
35:25under one roof
35:27spending time together,
35:28that was...
35:29that was unexpected.
35:31You know, I'm
35:32itching to get out of this cast.
35:33But part of me
35:36is really gonna miss this.
35:39Us.
35:40There's a lot of amazing things
35:42to still look forward to.
35:45Oh, yeah?
35:45Like what?
35:48Like
35:48the dinner
35:49I'm making you tonight.
35:51Oh.
35:51Speaking of which,
35:52I need to get started
35:54on my list of necessities.
35:55Oh, it's okay.
36:23I'm sure Dad hates
36:24how hard he was on Gio.
36:25Now that he knows Gio's son.
36:27I think you're right.
36:32I have some regrets, too.
36:35But
36:35as bad as everything is now,
36:38I think that Gio will figure out
36:40how great it is
36:41to have Dante as a father.
36:43I hope so.
36:45Dad's a good guy.
36:47Gio's gotta be able to see that.
36:49I think he will.
36:52And
36:52he'll see
36:53how great it is
36:54to have you
36:55as a brother.
36:57Mom.
37:13Mom.
37:14Hey, honey.
37:16I hear it was a very eventful
37:19nurse's ball.
37:20Hey, you just missed Gio.
37:29Why didn't just miss Gio, Dad,
37:31have missed 22 years
37:32of that kid?
37:34I guess that's Brooklyn's fault.
37:39I believe that you love me, Ma.
37:41I even believe that you think
37:44you were doing the right thing.
37:46But you're wrong.
37:48Brooklyn, please.
37:49You weren't at the nurse's ball, Grandma.
37:52But you were.
37:54Think about Gio.
37:57Standing up on that stage
37:58all alone.
38:01Smashing that violin.
38:02He left that room shattered
38:05with nowhere to go
38:06and no one to trust.
38:09So you think about that
38:11and then you tell me
38:13if everything you did
38:14was what was best
38:15for me and my son.
38:17No.
38:17No.
38:17No.
38:18No.
38:19No.
38:19No.
38:20No.
38:20No.
38:20No.
38:21No.
38:21No.
38:21No.
38:22No.
38:22No.
38:22No.
38:22No.
38:23No.
38:23No.
38:24No.
38:24No.
38:24No.
38:24No.
38:25No.
38:26No.
38:26No.
38:27No.
38:27No.
38:28No.
38:28No.
38:29No.
38:29No.
38:30No.
38:30No.
38:31No.
38:32No.
38:33No.
38:34No.
38:34No.
38:35On the next
38:35general hospital.
38:36The two of you
38:37pressure a dying woman
38:38into keeping your secret.
38:40You are about to
38:41change the world.
38:41Are you asking me
38:42if I'm laundering money?
38:43I owe you an apology.
38:45I'm going to do
38:46whatever it takes
38:46to get my grandchildren
38:47away from Loro.
38:48Get down to the
38:49courthouse now.
