00:00Darling, is that Jen Sidwell's son I just saw walking away?
00:05Yeah, Marco Rios. He's a lawyer.
00:08I know he is. Who are you suing?
00:10Not you, cranny, so you can relax.
00:12Good, because you'd lose.
00:14But if I was going to sue someone, it would be my mother or my grandmother.
00:18But what would be the point of that?
00:20I mean, what are the damages for the look of pain I saw on my son's face?
00:24I made three big ad buys, so I'm expecting a huge turnout.
00:28And as for the opening...
00:30Oh, well, I did some digging, and I found some low-costs, but I'll get enough options.
00:35Oh.
00:37Trina, thanks for your diligence.
00:39But we are going all out.
00:41I mean it.
00:42Top shelf all the way.
00:44Caviar and champagne and canapes, the whole shebang.
00:48Okay, well, I mean, I thought that we were watching out for your financial situation, considering what's happened.
00:56Well, that nightmare's over, finally.
00:58David Jerome is back in the black.
01:02Well, a job would be great.
01:03I'm actually looking for another source of income.
01:05Do you need a sub-bartender at Charlie's, or...?
01:07Actually, I have something else in my life.
01:10Okay.
01:11Well, I mean, I can do a little bit of everything, so...
01:13What?
01:14I want you to seduce someone.
01:18How are you doing, baby sister?
01:20Oh, my goodness, it's just so good to see you.
01:23Hey, why didn't you tell me you were back in Port Charles?
01:25I couldn't look you in the face.
01:28You couldn't look me in the face.
01:30Oh.
01:31Why not?
01:32Because I lied to you.
01:33Hello, stranger.
01:51Lucky.
01:53What brings you to GH?
01:54Well, I'm here to, uh...
01:58Repay a debt.
02:05Kai!
02:07Oh, well, this is a nice surprise.
02:08I can come back later, too, if you're busy.
02:10No, no, no, no, it's fine.
02:11Uh, did you have questions about your scan?
02:15No, no, it's not why I'm here.
02:16Oh.
02:17Everything okay with you and Trina?
02:18Yeah, yeah, we're great.
02:20This is about the congressman.
02:23You have stated that your children are your priority.
02:28Yes.
02:29So tell me.
02:31What matters more?
02:33Being with them or being with Drew?
02:37Would you like me to repeat the question?
02:40We need an answer.
02:41Mrs. Carinthos?
02:46Michael asked me the same thing.
02:49If being with Drew mattered more to me than being with my children.
02:56Only it wasn't a question so much as it was an ultimatum.
03:01Michael would grant me access to my children, but only if I left Drew.
03:07And that is what this hearing is about.
03:10Not my love for my children, not my fitness as a parent, but my relationship with Drew.
03:16How controlling is that?
03:17How is that fair?
03:19Why should I have to choose?
03:22Brooklyn, what your mother and your other grandmother did was a hideous betrayal.
03:51I have a lot of things that I could say about the two of them, but then that's true on most days.
03:58For once, I'm sure I'd agree with every word.
04:00But that's about me.
04:01It's not about what you're going through.
04:04What I'm going through.
04:07You know, I kicked them out of the house.
04:10It's not even my house when I gave them the book.
04:11Yes, well, you should.
04:12Oh, my mother's face.
04:15She just, she looks so wounded I wanted to scream.
04:17I mean, at least my grandma Gloria, you know, has the courage of her convictions and stands by what she's done.
04:23I'm not sure that that's a good thing, but okay.
04:27Meanwhile, my mother, she just kept trying to get me to understand how difficult this has been for her.
04:32Never mind everything that I have had to bury so deep just to make it bearable.
04:37And did she even consider telling me the truth for even a second?
04:41My guess is...
04:42No, she just kept lying to me and to Gio and to everyone.
04:48For all my life, I have tried to live up to my mother and grandmother's expectations, trying to be good, trying to be honest.
04:57Look where that's gotten me.
04:59You remember a while back I called you from California to tell you I'd taken care of that unpleasantness with my ex-wife?
05:06Well, nothing could have been further from the truth.
05:11Okay, then.
05:12What's the truth?
05:14I called you from a jail cell.
05:16In Lodi.
05:18You were my one phone call.
05:20Why were you in jail?
05:22Does it have something to do with your ex-wife?
05:26Yeah.
05:27Wives certainly did.
05:30And it wasn't just one of them, it was all of them.
05:34They got together and decided it was time to strip me of my assets.
05:38Even slapped liens on my future earnings.
05:40He took everything and then some.
05:43It's bad, Laura.
05:44I got nothing.
05:45I'm broke.
05:46Okay, so, uh, I'm getting codied.
05:52Did you forget I said that?
05:53Happily.
05:55Uh, okay.
05:56So, the plan is...
05:57And also, um, I think this is very broad-minded of you.
06:01You know, progressive.
06:02And just between you, me, uh, and the lamppost, I've always thought that Alexis is a very attractive woman.
06:09You know, she's got a button-down minx of quality powder.
06:11No, no, no, stop.
06:13God, no.
06:14You thought I wanted you to seduce my mother?
06:16No.
06:19But who?
06:21Ava.
06:22I want you to seduce Ava.
06:25Ava Jerome?
06:26Yes.
06:28Okay.
06:30Why her?
06:30I was finally able to refinance the mortgage on my second property, and Jen Sidwell made several large purchases, and that sure didn't hurt.
06:41Is he paying by the yard?
06:43I wouldn't mind if he did.
06:46No, but Trina, honestly, you know, it was pretty touch-and-go there for a while.
06:53And I would not have gotten through it without you, without your help.
06:56I'm here for you whenever you need.
06:59Except for tomorrow.
07:01Oh.
07:02Oh, that's too bad the Sartori photographs are coming in tomorrow.
07:05I thought you might want to sign for them yourself.
07:07I know, I do.
07:07I really do.
07:08But it's just that I promised Kai that I'd go to GH for his post-op scan.
07:13As I recall, you had some reservations about that.
07:17Yeah, I still do.
07:18I worry.
07:19But, I mean, it's Kai's choice to do what he loves, you know?
07:24Well, that's true.
07:26And so why do you think it's still not sitting right with you?
07:29Well, it's not because of the football.
07:33Well, I mean, it is.
07:34But it's just, it's hard to accept that Kai's getting closer to Drew.
07:41How so?
07:41Well, Drew paid for Kai's surgery, and Kai feels incredibly grateful towards him.
07:48And when I look at it from Kai's perspective, Drew's done a great thing for him.
07:55Trina, I'm not trying to get you to change Kai's mind.
08:00But your original assessment of Drew was spot on.
08:04And I would advise you both to be very careful around that man.
08:10Please, have a seat.
08:12First, I just want to say thank you for having me over at your place for the barbecue.
08:16Oh, well, it was lovely to have you.
08:18Did you enjoy yourself?
08:19Yeah, it was really fun.
08:21And it was great to meet Trina's granddad.
08:23Marshall.
08:24Yes, he's a character.
08:26He is.
08:28But I came here because I think I owe you and Mr. Ashford an apology.
08:34Why is that?
08:35I shouldn't have been going on about Drew like that.
08:38No, no, no, no.
08:39You don't have to apologize for that.
08:40We understand exactly how you feel.
08:44And Drew has been very supportive of you.
08:49Exactly.
08:50He has.
08:51And I try not to judge.
08:53And that's why I didn't turn my back on him after that whole thing in the news.
08:57And I'm sure he appreciates your loyalty.
09:01It's just, you know, I always try to make up my own mind about a person.
09:05And that's why I don't understand how someone who's been so good to me doesn't get along
09:10with you and your family.
09:12And you're all so great.
09:14I appreciate you saying that.
09:16But what's gone down between Drew and my family, it has nothing to do with anyone else.
09:24So you're saying I should just mind my own business?
09:26Oh, if you want details, though, we would be happy to provide them.
09:31But if you wanted to make up your own mind, you know, like you said.
09:36Okay, I know there was an issue with Aurora between Drew and Mr. Ashford.
09:41Yes, there was.
09:43So is there something else about Drew that I'm not seeing?
09:49Let's go back to the beginning of your affair.
09:53What really happened between you and Drew?
09:57We fell in love.
09:58It's that simple.
09:59Simple.
10:01The heart wants what it wants, right?
10:03Yes, I did try to stay away from Drew, but I just couldn't.
10:07Uh-huh.
10:08So he pursued you?
10:09No.
10:10Oh, you pursued him?
10:11No.
10:12Let me get this straight.
10:14The two of you just spontaneously fell in love one day for no reason.
10:19No one was responsible.
10:20Objection, Your Honor.
10:21Badgering.
10:22Overruled.
10:22I don't understand what my feelings for Drew and his feelings for me have to do with my ability to be a mother to my children.
10:32So your children had no bearing on your affair?
10:36No.
10:36Even when you had sex with Drew on the floor of your children's nursery?
10:41What am I looking at?
10:51That's a deed for a cabin on the lake.
10:54My dad built it.
10:55It's a great place to go when you need to clear your head.
11:01Anyway, I want you to have it.
11:05I don't understand.
11:07If this place means something to you, then why not just keep it?
11:13No, because I'm not going to be able to use it.
11:15Look, Isaiah, I'm leaving poor Charles.
11:25I tried to live up to their standards.
11:27I really did.
11:29Meanwhile, they were total hypocrites.
11:31And they were scheming for over 20 years.
11:34Good.
11:36How is this good?
11:37Because now you know exactly who they are.
11:39You don't have to please them or defend them.
11:42You're free.
11:44My son is still a Cirillo.
11:46Your son is still a Quartermain.
11:48Just like you.
11:50Yes.
11:51Like me.
11:52When all those questions started coming up about my son,
11:55where is he and what happened to him,
11:57I should have done something.
11:59What would you have done?
12:00I should have done what I do.
12:02Push and push until I get my way.
12:05As soon as Lulu came to me
12:07and told me that she found Martin Gradesos,
12:09I should have ground him down
12:11for every piece of information that he had.
12:13I should have gone looking for my son.
12:16Had you done something that I don't know about?
12:18Well, it's Drew, so probably.
12:23But not to me.
12:25All I'm saying is
12:26the congressman is very cunning.
12:30And you're right to be concerned
12:31about what he has in mind for Kai.
12:34I am.
12:34But I mean, he's been very helpful.
12:39Except for the documentary.
12:41I imagine that's pretty intrusive.
12:43Very.
12:44But I guess he's just trying to get some good publicity
12:47helping out a local football star, you know?
12:50Maybe.
12:51I know what Drew's capable of.
12:54Even though I don't like it.
12:57I'm doing it for Kai's sake.
12:59I'm sorry.
13:00I know that puts you in a difficult position.
13:02And you know, I'm sure your mother
13:05feels the same way.
13:06She has to deal with Drew all the time, right?
13:09Because of the pediatric sports initiative.
13:11Yeah.
13:12She has been very stressed lately.
13:14Maybe that's why.
13:17Drew and Curtis.
13:19Um, they used to be good friends.
13:22Best friends.
13:25But then Drew changed.
13:26We hardly even recognize him anymore.
13:31Why do you think he changed?
13:33Well, you know Drew went to prison for insider trading.
13:36Yeah, I did read about that.
13:39Well, once he was in Pentonville,
13:41he was attacked.
13:43And he nearly died.
13:46Now, I don't know if that's why.
13:47But once Drew got out,
13:49he became opportunistic,
13:53selfish,
13:55extremely manipulative.
13:57He used to be the kind of guy
13:58who would take a bullet
13:59for somebody that he cared about.
14:02But now,
14:03now he's willing to use anyone
14:05to get what he wants.
14:08And that's why Trina,
14:09Curtis, and I,
14:11we're concerned.
14:13And I appreciate that.
14:15But how can I just turn my back
14:17on someone who's done so much for me?
14:19Right.
14:20And you know what?
14:20We would never ask you to do that.
14:22But I do want you to be aware.
14:26Be aware of the kind of person
14:27Drew really is.
14:30Because Curtis and I trusted him.
14:32And he did things to hurt us.
14:35We don't want him to exploit you too.
14:38And you really think
14:39that he's capable of doing that?
14:41Oh, I know he is.
14:43Neither Drew nor I planned it.
14:46Drew was very emotional.
14:51Sam McCall,
14:52the mother of his daughter Scout,
14:53had just died.
14:54And the only way to comfort Drew
14:56was to have sex
14:58in the children's nursery.
14:59It wasn't like that.
15:01But you were putting Drew's needs
15:03ahead of the needs of your children
15:05in that instance, weren't you?
15:07Probably.
15:07Well, let's see.
15:10You had sex
15:12on the floor
15:13of the children's nursery.
15:14A room reserved
15:15for your children
15:16where they could have come in
15:18at any point
15:20and seen the two of you
15:21en flagrant.
15:23Objection.
15:23Your honor, please.
15:24Badgering.
15:26Sustained.
15:26Miss Miller,
15:27you've made your point.
15:28Move on.
15:29Miss Carinthos,
15:31when Michael
15:32was at
15:33general hospital
15:34being treated
15:35for third-degree burns,
15:36you barred his family
15:38from access to him,
15:40didn't you?
15:41Only because Tracy...
15:43Yes or no?
15:46Yes.
15:47But I also...
15:48But, oh, but!
15:49But...
15:50So you weren't sure
15:51about that course of action?
15:53No, I...
15:54What, uh...
15:56What convinced you otherwise?
16:00Drew, he helped me realize
16:02it was the only way
16:02to get my children
16:03back from the border means.
16:05Miss Carinthos,
16:05when you decided
16:07to take Wiley
16:08to Washington, D.C.
16:10for the congressman's
16:11inauguration,
16:12why didn't you consult
16:13with Mr. Carinthos?
16:16Wiley was so excited.
16:18Drew and I thought
16:19it would be a great opportunity
16:20for Wiley
16:21to see our government
16:22at work.
16:22We didn't think
16:23Michael would mind.
16:25According to
16:26previous testimony,
16:27when Michael chose
16:28to seek treatment
16:29for his third-degree burns
16:31in Germany,
16:32that seemed
16:33to frustrate you,
16:34didn't it?
16:35It did, yes.
16:36Because you didn't
16:37want him
16:38to get the best
16:39possible medical treatment?
16:41Of course.
16:43I just didn't think
16:45that Michael
16:46would abandon
16:46his children
16:47to do it.
16:48Oh, so Michael
16:49going to Germany
16:51to seek treatment
16:52for third-degree burns
16:53because that's where
16:53the best treatment was,
16:55was abandoning
16:57Wiley and Amelia?
16:58That was the choice
17:00he made, yes.
17:02Miss Carinthos,
17:03when you chose
17:04to move Wiley
17:06and Amelia
17:08into Drew's home,
17:10again,
17:11without consulting
17:11your husband,
17:12their father
17:13was unreachable.
17:14Because he was
17:15in Germany
17:16undergoing the best
17:17possible medical
17:19treatment
17:19for third-degree burns.
17:21Yes,
17:21and Drew and I
17:22felt it was best
17:23for the kids
17:23to have a stable home.
17:25And how do
17:26the children feel
17:27about moving
17:28into Drew Cain's house?
17:29They love it there.
17:31Have they ever
17:32expressed a desire
17:33to return
17:33to their own home?
17:35They're children.
17:36They've expressed
17:37a desire to live
17:38at Disney.
17:38Just answer
17:40the question.
17:42Yes,
17:42they have asked
17:43to move back home.
17:44Why would you
17:54want me to go
17:55after Ava?
17:56And why would you
17:57think that she'd
17:58be into me
17:58even a little?
18:00Well,
18:00I saw you guys
18:01together.
18:02Trust me.
18:03And Ava is a raccoon.
18:05Into garbage?
18:07Easily distracted.
18:08And you are
18:09a very charming,
18:10shiny new object.
18:12I thought Ava
18:13was seeing your
18:14sister's dad.
18:15She is,
18:16but I want you
18:16to come between them.
18:18I want you
18:19to help Rick
18:19see how horrible
18:20Ava is.
18:22Huh.
18:22I didn't realize
18:24you were looking
18:24out for good
18:25old Uncle Ricky.
18:27I'm looking out
18:28for Molly.
18:29Yeah,
18:30I spent some time
18:31on a rooftop
18:31with Molly.
18:33I was also
18:34her red carpet
18:35escort
18:36at the nurse's ball.
18:37She's,
18:37she's pretty great.
18:40She is.
18:41Yeah,
18:41Molly's amazing.
18:42and she loves
18:43her father,
18:44but she's appalled
18:45that he's dating
18:46Ava.
18:47And she's,
18:49she's trying
18:50to accept it,
18:52but.
18:53That's what
18:54nice people do.
18:55Yes.
18:55Listen,
18:56Molly hates Ava
18:57just as much
18:58as I do.
18:58Okay?
18:59I mean,
19:00if it weren't for Ava,
19:00I never would have
19:01had that fall
19:02and I wouldn't have
19:03lost my baby,
19:05our baby,
19:05Molly's baby too.
19:07And,
19:07and Ava is also
19:09the reason my brother
19:09Morgan is dead.
19:10So,
19:11really,
19:12if you can do this,
19:13if you can come
19:13between Ava and Rick,
19:15you'd be doing
19:15a really good thing.
19:18And I can make
19:19it worth your while.
19:21My parents have been
19:22acting really weird lately.
19:25Weird how?
19:26Okay,
19:27well,
19:28my grandfather,
19:30Marshall,
19:30came to town
19:31to visit.
19:32And it was supposed
19:32to be like a cute
19:33little family get together
19:34and Kai and Marshall
19:36met and it's supposed
19:37to be fun.
19:39But then,
19:40my parents just,
19:42they just had this vibe
19:43about them.
19:44And it's not the first time.
19:47When was the first time?
19:49I think this has been
19:50happening since
19:50the nurses' ball.
19:51They both left early.
19:53Did they say why?
19:54They said they had work
19:55the next day
19:56and my dad had to talk
19:58to Aurora's affiliates
19:58in Japan.
19:59I just,
20:01I feel like there's
20:02something more happening.
20:06Trina,
20:07relationships
20:08go through phases.
20:11There's good times,
20:12hard times,
20:12it's perfectly normal.
20:14I don't think you have
20:15anything to worry about.
20:18Yeah, yeah.
20:19You're probably right,
20:20it's just nice
20:22to talk about it.
20:24Well, I'm always
20:24here to listen.
20:26And now that I've
20:26said it out loud,
20:28I'm sure that I'm
20:28making a big deal
20:29out of nothing.
20:32Look, it's just,
20:34you know,
20:34kind of embarrassing
20:35to admit,
20:36but the fact is
20:37I'm so scared,
20:37I can't afford my room
20:39at the Metro Court.
20:40So, I was wondering
20:42if it's possible
20:43that I could impose
20:44upon you and Kevin,
20:45you know,
20:45maybe move in
20:46for a while.
20:48Of course.
20:49Of course you can.
20:50I'm sure Kevin
20:50will be just fine with it.
20:51As a matter of fact,
20:53Lulu just moved out
20:54and into her own house.
20:56Great.
20:57Yeah.
20:57That's really
20:58something.
21:00What about Lucky?
21:01He has been spending
21:03almost all of his time
21:04with Elizabeth.
21:05I'm actually hoping
21:05that that situation
21:06is going to become
21:07more permanent.
21:08So, you see,
21:09we have plenty
21:11of room for you.
21:13You're so welcome.
21:14I don't know what to say.
21:16And, you know,
21:16if I have anything
21:17to do with it,
21:18it's just going
21:18to be temporary, all right?
21:20Stay as long
21:21as you like.
21:21Well, I hope you mean it
21:23because it's going
21:24to take some doing
21:24to get me back
21:25on my feet,
21:26especially considering
21:26that my most lucrative client
21:28and that's now
21:29apparently in prison
21:30for life,
21:31which is undoubtedly
21:33where Valentin belongs.
21:35But, in the meantime,
21:37I give you my word,
21:38I am going to make
21:39a full financial recovery.
21:41And Tracy Quartermain
21:43is going to pay for it.
21:46Say you had
21:47looked for your son
21:49and that led you to Gio.
21:52You do realize
21:53that he could still
21:54be just as angry at you.
21:56Only if I told him
21:57who I was.
21:58Do you think he would have?
22:00I know I would have wanted to,
22:02but I also wouldn't have wanted
22:05to destroy his memories
22:06with Camilla.
22:09At least he would have known
22:10how much I wanted to find him
22:12instead of thinking
22:12I didn't want him at all.
22:14He's going to come around.
22:16He might.
22:17Oh, a daunting.
22:19Dante, on the other hand,
22:21I just wish I could have
22:22come clean with him
22:23on my own terms
22:24instead of keeping
22:25my mother and grandmother's secrets.
22:27When you had no idea
22:28you were doing that
22:29to Dante and to Gio.
22:30No.
22:30I just believed my mother
22:31when she told me
22:32that somehow
22:33it would be better for my son
22:34if I didn't go looking for him.
22:36But you know what?
22:36I didn't have to
22:37because Lulu did it for me
22:38even though I begged
22:40and pleaded with her
22:41to keep quiet about it.
22:42I thought I had convinced her to.
22:45I'm sorry that didn't work out.
22:47You trusted her?
22:49Just like I trusted
22:50my mother and my grandmother.
22:53But all that blind trust
22:54ends now.
22:56What does that mean?
22:57What are you going to do?
22:58I'm going to remind people
22:59to never come
23:00for Brooklyn Quartermain.
23:02By people,
23:03do you mean
23:04Lulu?
23:05Well, don't you think
23:07that Lulu needs
23:07to be held accountable?
23:08Why are you petitioning
23:12for full custody
23:13of your children
23:14rather than
23:14sharing custody
23:15with their father?
23:16I love my children
23:22and I wanted
23:24their father
23:25to be in their lives.
23:26Wanted?
23:27Past tense?
23:29Yes.
23:30And up until an hour ago,
23:31I thought
23:32that would be possible.
23:34Michael seemed like
23:35he was open to compromise.
23:37I see.
23:37And what led you
23:39to have this impression
23:39that Michael was open
23:41to having this compromise?
23:43Last night,
23:44we were getting along
23:45so well.
23:46Last night?
23:48At General Hospital,
23:50Michael wanted to bring
23:51Wiley and Amelia
23:52to meet their new
23:53baby sister.
23:54Oh, yes, yes.
23:55The baby sister
23:57that he sired
23:57with his former fiance
23:59and current family cook.
24:01The baby that you
24:01didn't know about
24:02that they were having
24:03until yesterday.
24:05Objection, Your Honor.
24:06We were all there.
24:07No need for the recap.
24:09Sustained.
24:12What changed?
24:15Michael did.
24:18For whatever reason,
24:20he gave in
24:21to his animosity
24:22toward Drew.
24:24What happened?
24:25Before the hearing today,
24:27Michael approached me.
24:29He made it perfectly clear
24:31that he will not agree
24:33to a joint custody arrangement.
24:36As such,
24:37I am left with no other option
24:39but to petition
24:39for full custody.
24:40Would you say
24:42that you're a
24:42perfect parent?
24:45Far from it.
24:46You mean you've
24:47made mistakes?
24:48I have made
24:50many.
24:52And I deeply regret
24:54the way my marriage
24:55ended.
24:57But you have to
24:58understand that
24:58when I
24:59fell in love
25:01with Drew,
25:01my marriage
25:03was already over.
25:04I just hadn't
25:05come to terms
25:05with it yet.
25:06Can you
25:07explain that?
25:10Michael and I
25:10were going
25:12through the motions
25:13but neither of us
25:14were able to admit it.
25:16I may not have been
25:17the best wife
25:18but that has
25:20nothing to do
25:21with my love
25:21for my children.
25:22Yes,
25:22and for months
25:23you were your children's
25:25primary caretaker.
25:27Is that not correct?
25:28Yes,
25:29while Michael
25:29was in Germany,
25:30I was their sole parent.
25:31fortunately,
25:34Drew has been
25:36a godsend.
25:38He helped
25:39us move
25:40into a safe home.
25:43We have
25:43cared for them,
25:46read to them,
25:47played with them,
25:49made them feel safe
25:50and loved.
25:52You and the congressman?
25:54Yes.
25:55I may have made mistakes
25:56but
25:57that doesn't change
25:59the fact that I am
26:00Wiley and Amelia's
26:01mother.
26:02And they belong
26:03with me.
26:09I proposed to her.
26:12It didn't take.
26:14You don't seem
26:14as heartbroken
26:15about it
26:15as I thought you'd be.
26:16I don't know
26:17what I am, man.
26:18I mean,
26:19yeah,
26:19part of me
26:20is heartbroken
26:21but
26:21I don't know,
26:22the rest of me
26:23feels like
26:24I know
26:25it was the right thing.
26:26For her
26:27or for you?
26:28For both of us,
26:29I think.
26:30And for Aiden.
26:32Yeah,
26:33speaking of Aiden,
26:34why not just give
26:36the land to your son?
26:37Well,
26:37I tried
26:38but he said
26:39his wilderness phase
26:40ended when he was
26:41a PC pioneer.
26:42Um, I guess it's not
26:46for everybody.
26:47Yeah, besides,
26:47I want you to have
26:49this land, okay?
26:50You saved my sister's life
26:51and I can't even begin
26:53to thank you for that.
26:54This,
26:55this doesn't even
26:56come close.
26:57look,
26:57you got me out of
26:59Sidwell's compound
27:00and almost got yourself
27:01killed in the process.
27:02Yeah, yeah, okay,
27:03but rescue missions,
27:04life and death,
27:05poker games,
27:06come on, man,
27:06that's just my jam.
27:08No, no, no,
27:08even before all that,
27:10when we first met
27:11at that refugee camp,
27:13I told myself
27:14I was soul-searching
27:16but I was hiding.
27:18I wasn't practicing
27:19the medicine
27:20I,
27:21I was trained to do.
27:23But coming to
27:23poor Charles,
27:25I not only found
27:26a place to practice,
27:28I found a place to live.
27:30This is where I turned
27:31around and faced myself.
27:34You and your sister
27:36got me back in the O.R.
27:39So if anybody
27:40owes anything,
27:41I owe you.
27:44Well, then you're welcome.
27:45I got to take off.
27:56Good luck.
27:58Yeah.
27:59Me too, man.
28:05Hey.
28:09You forgot your deed.
28:10No, no,
28:11I didn't.
28:12You're going to have to,
28:12you're going to have to
28:13fix that place up for me
28:14because remember,
28:14you owe me.
28:18Thank you so much
28:19for your time,
28:20Dr. Robinson.
28:21You've really given me
28:21a lot to think about.
28:22Anytime.
28:23And now that I know
28:24a little bit more
28:25about Drew's background,
28:26I do have a better
28:27understanding of what
28:28Trina doesn't trust him.
28:32Kai,
28:33if I may give
28:34a word of advice.
28:36Please.
28:37Drew doesn't have
28:38to be an issue
28:39between you and Trina.
28:42Just focus on
28:43what brings you two together.
28:44Both sides
28:47have given me
28:48a great deal
28:48to consider.
28:49I will weigh the question
28:50of the settlement,
28:51but my priority
28:52will be determining
28:53which parent
28:54will retain custody
28:56of the children.
28:57First and foremost,
28:58I will keep the welfare
28:59of the Corinthos children
29:01in mind.
29:02You will all be notified
29:03when I've reached
29:04my verdict.
29:04The court is adjourned.
29:06I tried.
29:20You did more than that.
29:22You were great.
29:23Great.
29:25What do we do now?
29:26Now we wait
29:27and hope that Judge Heron
29:28makes the right decision.
29:29Somehow I don't think
29:33it matters to you
29:33what I think about Lulu.
29:34I think you have
29:35made up your mind.
29:36Maybe I have.
29:38I have tried to live down
29:39what happened
29:40with Dante and Lulu.
29:41I really tried
29:42to make up for it.
29:43You more than
29:44made up for it.
29:45I don't know.
29:46Maybe I should have
29:47just accepted
29:48that part of myself.
29:49I would have been
29:49better off.
29:51Honestly,
29:51I should have been
29:52more like you.
29:53Wow.
29:54I don't know
29:55whether to be
29:56insulted or flattered.
29:57I'm going with flattered.
29:58I'm serious, Granny.
30:00Look at you.
30:01You are who you are
30:03and you make
30:04zero excuses for it.
30:06You would do anything
30:07for your family
30:08and you don't
30:08pretend otherwise.
30:10So far, so true.
30:11And people know
30:12that if they mess with you,
30:13you're going to
30:13mess right back.
30:15What?
30:16I love seeing
30:17this strength in you.
30:20But you need to know
30:22that exercising
30:24that God-given strength
30:25comes at a cost.
30:30Yeah, you're looking
30:31out for your sister,
30:32but Ava has a bit
30:35of a reputation.
30:36I'm not really sure
30:37I want to get
30:38mixed up with her.
30:39Well, like I said,
30:40I will make this
30:40worth your while.
30:42Now, you just
30:44reopened the bar.
30:45Ouch.
30:47I have resources.
30:49I'm good for it,
30:49trust me.
30:50Yeah, I've heard
30:51that before.
30:51Look, I'm not
30:53uninterested.
30:55I just need to know
30:56that you're serious.
30:59Name your terms.
31:01Cash.
31:02Money up front.
31:04And because I'm
31:04such a good guy,
31:05I won't even tell
31:06Rick and Ava
31:07what you're up to.
31:10Well, I'm just happy
31:11that you're back
31:12on your feet
31:12in the gallery safe.
31:14Port Charles
31:14really wouldn't be
31:15the same without it.
31:17I have had
31:19a couple
31:19lucky breaks
31:20lately.
31:22And Rick,
31:23Rick has been
31:25a lot of help.
31:26Hmm.
31:28Well,
31:29I mean,
31:32I have
31:33noticed that
31:34two of you
31:35have been spending
31:36a lot of
31:37time together.
31:41Let's just say
31:42that Rick has been
31:43a very good man
31:44to know
31:45on a professional
31:47level.
31:50Not a personal
31:51one, too.
31:55Okay.
31:57Well, are you
31:58happy?
31:58Yeah.
32:02I think I am.
32:04Then I'm happy
32:05that you're happy.
32:08But?
32:10Are you asking
32:10me what I think?
32:11Yes, you're my
32:12friend.
32:12Yes, I'm asking
32:13you.
32:16Why don't we get
32:16you settled in
32:17before you declare
32:18war on Tracy
32:19Quartermain?
32:20Good idea.
32:21Mm-hmm.
32:23But it's no joke.
32:25I'm not kidding.
32:26One way or the other,
32:27Tracy Quartermain
32:27is going to foot
32:28the bill for my
32:29pain and suffering.
32:30Martin,
32:31I would steer
32:32clear of Tracy
32:33Quartermain right now.
32:34She's got her own
32:36upheaval going on
32:37at the moment.
32:37My heart bleeds.
32:39As we used to say
32:40on Soul Block
32:40number four,
32:41she had it coming.
32:43Okay.
32:44Okay.
32:44Listen,
32:45I'm glad you're back.
32:46And my home
32:47is your home.
32:47I cannot thank you
32:48enough.
32:49But if I find out
32:50that you have broken
32:51even one law
32:54while attempting
32:55to get back
32:56at Tracy...
32:56Hear me out,
32:57baby sister.
32:57Look.
32:59I give you my word.
33:00My vengeance
33:01upon Tracy Quartermain
33:02will be meticulous,
33:03thorough,
33:04and 100% legit.
33:07For once,
33:09the law is going
33:10to be on my side.
33:12Brooklyn,
33:13I spent most
33:15of my adult life
33:16wrangling
33:18with your
33:18great-grandfather.
33:22I have no doubt
33:23that I would have
33:24lived a happier life
33:25had I stepped away
33:27from the conflict
33:28instead of
33:29leaning into it.
33:31That said,
33:32I have no regrets.
33:33I thought the goal
33:33is to have
33:34any regrets.
33:35It is.
33:36But is
33:37scheming and conflict
33:38where you want
33:39to put your energy?
33:40Or do you want
33:40to put your energy
33:41into having
33:42a relationship
33:43with your son?
33:44into strengthening
33:46your marriage?
33:47Do you know
33:48how amazing
33:48it is to find
33:50the love of your life?
33:52You had Luke.
33:53Yes,
33:54I did have Luke.
33:55But there were
33:56five or more
33:58extraneous marriages
33:59before that.
34:00There was
34:01the grifter,
34:03the three mobsters,
34:05the serial killer,
34:07and two other
34:10marriages to Luke.
34:11Wasn't the first one
34:11annulled?
34:12The point is,
34:14you're in a very
34:16different position
34:17than I was.
34:19You're surrounded
34:20by good people
34:22who love you.
34:26I want you to think
34:27very, very carefully
34:29before you put your
34:30energy and that
34:32strength
34:33toward revenge.
34:35I just wonder
34:39if Rick is
34:41the right guy
34:41for you.
34:43I know his
34:44reputation
34:45because of Joss.
34:47Hardly the most
34:48objective source.
34:50That's true.
34:51I just know
34:52that he fought
34:53for Heather Weber
34:54to be released
34:55from prison.
34:57Yes,
34:58he did.
35:00And look,
35:00I get it.
35:01It's his job.
35:02It's just that
35:04I think that
35:05you're,
35:06you're great.
35:09And
35:10I want him
35:11to be worthy
35:12of you.
35:15So you know
35:16this isn't going
35:16to happen overnight,
35:17right?
35:18Yes, I do.
35:19And I'm doing
35:19things very differently
35:20now.
35:20I'm taking my time.
35:22I'm not being
35:23impulsive.
35:23I have thought
35:24this through
35:24and I am really
35:25playing the long
35:26game here.
35:27Good.
35:28And we don't
35:29even know
35:30if Ava is
35:30gettable.
35:31I'm going to
35:31have to assess
35:32the situation
35:33for a fee.
35:34How much?
35:36A thousand
35:37will get you
35:37a trial run.
35:41Well,
35:42he is
35:43maybe your way
35:44in.
35:48Sounds like
35:48the other deal.
35:52Ray.
35:53Mom.
35:54Lucky.
35:54You have a minute?
35:56Oh,
35:56my goodness.
35:57For my son,
35:59who never
35:59visits anyone
36:01in their office
36:02ever?
36:02Yes,
36:02I have a minute
36:03for you.
36:04What's on your
36:04mind?
36:05Um,
36:06I just
36:08needed to tell
36:09you that,
36:09um,
36:10I'm sorry.
36:13I'm,
36:13uh,
36:15I'm gonna
36:16disappoint you
36:17again.
36:19You're leaving,
36:20aren't you?
36:22Nina,
36:23it's me
36:23calling again.
36:25Please call me
36:26back.
36:26I know that
36:26you're busy,
36:27but I need
36:28to talk to you.
36:29It's an emergency.
36:30I need to find
36:31Jacinda.
36:32Call me back.
36:35Damn it!
36:43I appreciate
36:44the warning,
36:44but I do think
36:45you're underestimating me.
36:47Oh,
36:48good.
36:48You know how
36:49I love it
36:50when people
36:50exceed my expectations.
36:52Go on.
36:52I can love
36:54Chase and be
36:54a good wife
36:55to him
36:55and build
36:56my relationship
36:57with my son.
36:58Yeah,
36:58I know that.
37:00It's the revenge
37:01I'm concerned about.
37:03Don't look at it
37:04as revenge,
37:05okay?
37:05Look at it
37:06as me being
37:07true to myself
37:07and doing
37:08what I feel
37:09is right
37:10and fair
37:11and just.
37:15Willow held
37:15her own
37:16better than
37:16I thought
37:17she would.
37:18Well,
37:19Willow may think
37:20she had
37:20the last word,
37:21but the judge
37:22will see
37:22right through her.
37:23Yeah,
37:24I hope you're right.
37:26There's still
37:26something that
37:27doesn't make sense
37:28to me,
37:28though.
37:28Willow said
37:29she came to
37:29see me
37:30in Germany.
37:31Are you sure
37:32she actually went?
37:33Jason convinced
37:34her to go.
37:35All right,
37:35then why did
37:36no one at the
37:36clinic tell me
37:37she was there?
37:40Mom,
37:41I can't thank
37:41you enough
37:42for your support.
37:43I really
37:44could not have
37:44gotten through
37:45this whole ordeal
37:45without you.
37:46Well,
37:46I would do
37:46anything for you,
37:47my daughter.
37:50I still can't
37:51believe Michael
37:51would lie
37:52about something
37:53Wiley said.
37:55It makes me
37:56even more
37:56certain I'm
37:57doing the right
37:58thing.
37:59As if Drew
37:59would ever
38:00say anything
38:01like that.
38:02Well,
38:02I hope you
38:03and Willow
38:03get the outcome
38:04that you're
38:04hoping for.
38:05I did everything
38:06I could to
38:06make that happen.
38:07Yes,
38:07you did,
38:08and so did I.
38:10By staging
38:11that little
38:11interaction for
38:12Wiley,
38:13I basically
38:13guaranteed that
38:14there'd be
38:14no compromise
38:15between Willow
38:16and Michael.
38:16Yeah,
38:18well,
38:19I guess
38:19when you're
38:19going up
38:19against the
38:20quarter mains,
38:21you gotta pull
38:21out all the stops.
38:22Absolutely.
38:23And because
38:24Willow stood
38:24strong,
38:26she's gonna win.
38:31On the next
38:32general hospital,
38:33I heard something
38:33that I wasn't
38:34supposed to.
38:35You can trust
38:35me with this.
38:36Maybe it would
38:37be best for you
38:37to take a step
38:38back.
38:38This might need
38:39my services.
38:40Sooner than you
38:41might think.
38:41As soon as the
38:42truth came out,
38:42it was game over.
38:43I'm taking
38:43Wiley and Amelia
38:44and I'm leaving
38:44the country.
38:45I wanna hire you.
38:46I wanna hire you.
