00:00Sorry for the delay I got held up in South Pole.
00:03I had a nice day. How was it?
00:06It's interesting.
00:08I ran into ADA Turner.
00:12She thinks she's going to send me to prison.
00:15Little does she know that her star witness against me...
00:23is about to disappear.
00:26I was extremely pleased to receive your invitation to lunch.
00:32And look at this. It's a perfect day for it.
00:35And there's nothing I like more than an intimate meal for...
00:41Two.
00:42Are you expecting somebody else?
00:45Oh, yes. I asked my son Marco to join us.
00:48Oh, I hope you don't mind.
00:51No, don't be silly. Why would I mind?
00:53You must be completely exhausted after entertaining my husband all afternoon.
01:00Portia, I don't know what you're implying, but...
01:02I think that you do.
01:03Because I saw you.
01:05I saw you and Curtis by the pool.
01:08Smiling and laughing.
01:10Reminiscing about old times?
01:12Old times?
01:13Did those old times happen to me during your marriage?
01:15You know what? Maybe you need to have this conversation with your husband.
01:18Oh, I would, but Curtis, see, he's not the problem.
01:23You are.
01:25Sweetheart, what would lead you to believe that your mom is in any kind of trouble?
01:29Or that Drew had something to do with it?
01:32Remember when Grandpa came to visit?
01:34And we all had dinner together?
01:36Yeah.
01:38Well, Kai overheard you and Mom having an argument.
01:40And you said the only way that she can be safe is if you found the escort woman
01:46and paid her to say that Drew took the ketamine as a party drug.
01:52Kai heard that.
01:53Yes.
01:54On his way back to the kitchen, he told me, so I'm asking you,
01:57if Mom is in any kind of trouble and Drew has something to do with it,
02:02I need to know, especially because Kai is working for Drew.
02:06So, please, Dad, tell me what's going on.
02:13With regard to the reckless and reprehensible accusations
02:18levied against my beloved and honorable nephew,
02:24Congressman Drew...
02:25Drew...
02:26Drew...
02:29I can't do it.
02:34Oh, no.
02:36I can't do it.
02:37I have to tell you the truth.
02:39He did take the drugs.
02:40He did plant them in my car.
02:42He is an embarrassment and a disgrace to my family.
02:46Just ask his nephew whose marriage he destroyed.
02:49The congressman should be thrown out of office
02:52the same way his stepmother threw him out of the Quartermain mansion.
02:59Brooklyn!
03:00Why don't you take your granny home?
03:02She's either having a stroke or sundowning.
03:11I mean it, Carly.
03:13You have to convince Michael to grant Will a visitation with the kids.
03:17It's the only way to stop her from marrying Drew.
03:21You have had plenty of chances to pry your daughter away from Drew,
03:25and nothing worked so far.
03:27So why should this time be any different?
03:29You and Drew are getting married.
03:33Yes.
03:34It's a legal tactic.
03:37It's exactly what we did to get Wiley away from Nell.
03:40You think this will help you win back custody of the kids?
03:42I love Drew,
03:44and I want to spend the rest of my life with him.
03:47I know you're not happy about it,
03:49but like I said,
03:49I want to be completely transparent with you.
03:51Well, then let me be completely transparent with you.
03:54If you marry Drew,
03:55I will make sure that you never see our kids again.
03:58How are the arrangements coming for Natalia?
04:27Well, the house is all set up.
04:29Full team of bodyguards.
04:30We're ready.
04:31All right.
04:31Well, as soon as she brings over the incriminating financial records,
04:35we'll get her off, you know, to Belize.
04:40Are you sure that she's not going to double-cross you?
04:42ADA Turner seemed pretty confident,
04:45but I have a feeling that Natalia,
04:48she'll follow through.
04:50Okay.
04:52Well, I have eyes on her just in case.
04:55Can't be too careful.
04:57I do have one concern.
05:00Let's hear it.
05:01What if Natalia told
05:03Sidwell everything that she knows?
05:07What if she already has?
05:08I hope I'm not interrupting any important deception business.
05:15Uh, no, actually, not at all.
05:17Your father was showing me photos of his beautiful home in Dubai.
05:22Ah, his true pride and joy.
05:24My son swears that I love this house more than I love him.
05:28Let's just say it's pretty close.
05:30Though, I have to admit, it is a pretty magnificent home.
05:34Yes, it really is.
05:35Oh, please, give me a heads up.
05:37You know, if you ever decide to sell
05:38so I can run and get my real estate license in the Emirates.
05:42That'll never happen.
05:44A girl can dream.
05:45Yes.
05:46Well, it's funny you should say that,
05:47because I was going to throw a substantial sale your way,
05:51but unfortunately, it fell through.
05:54Oh, no.
05:55Wait, you're not talking about Windermere.
05:57Oh, no.
05:58No, no, not Windermere.
06:00I'm talking about Sonny's peers.
06:02He was seriously considering a very generous offer I made,
06:06but ultimately decided not to take it.
06:10I'm sorry to hear about that, Dad.
06:12I know how much you wanted that to happen.
06:14Oh, I tried.
06:15I really tried.
06:18Well, que sera, sera.
06:21Hmm.
06:22Oh, you know, maybe you shouldn't give up yet.
06:26But I perhaps could still make it happen.
06:33If Michael can just agree to a generous visitation schedule,
06:37there's no way that Willow can pass that up,
06:39even if Drew can't go with her.
06:42Okay, see, Drew would still be in the equation.
06:44Not when it comes to the kids,
06:46and that's what matters the most to Willow.
06:48And eventually she will see that she doesn't need Drew's help
06:53to have those kids in her life.
06:55And that will be the beginning of the end of their relationship.
07:00You're just dreaming.
07:03Drew's still calling the shots.
07:05And there's no way he's going to let Willow agree to an arrangement
07:07that doesn't include him.
07:11You may have won custody for now, Michael.
07:15But once Drew and I are married,
07:16Judge Herron will revisit her decision,
07:18and at the very least,
07:19I am sure I'll be granted partial custody.
07:21Look, I am not trying to be cruel here, Willow.
07:25But after you melt down into the courtroom,
07:27I don't think that's happening.
07:29All right, so it doesn't matter what Drew is telling you.
07:31I have custody,
07:32which means I have the power in this situation,
07:34and I will exercise every bit of that power
07:36to protect our children.
07:38You don't have to protect Wiley and Amelia for me.
07:40Yes, I do as long as you are with Drew.
07:43Your relationship with him isn't healthy for you,
07:45and it's definitely not healthy for our kids.
07:46Well, that's your opinion.
07:47It's the judges, too!
07:49She said the exact same thing that I did.
07:51Your relationship with Drew
07:53is the reason you lost Wiley and Amelia.
07:55And if you marry him,
07:56you're going to be stealing your fate.
07:57You'll never get them back.
07:58You're just trying to bully me
08:00into dumping Drew,
08:02and that tells me all I need to know.
08:04You're scared I'll win.
08:05And when I do, Michael,
08:07I will try to have more compassion for you
08:09than you have had for me.
08:12I'm sorry to tell you this, Mr. Gray.
08:15I'm no fool.
08:16And if anybody needs to have
08:18their mental acuity questioned,
08:21it's you for thinking that I would ever submit
08:24to your ploy to publicly humiliate me
08:27or read this ridiculous, overwritten piece of...
08:32Why would Henderson be called?
08:33Please not.
08:34I just want to get you out of the line of fire
08:35and away from the cameras.
08:38Guy, thank you.
08:39That's quick thinking.
08:40This was most definitely not a ploy.
08:43Out of the goodness of his heart,
08:45my client gave you the chance
08:47to stay out of prison
08:49by admitting to your appalling crime.
08:51But you have obviously
08:52blown that out of the water
08:54with this gross display
08:56of insolent behavior.
08:58You want to talk about a gross display?
09:00How about the video of your client
09:04having sex with his nephew's wife
09:07in her children's nursery
09:09amongst my mother's antique dolls?
09:13That was a gross display.
09:14Let me tell you something.
09:15Should I...
09:15I don't know.
09:16Do something?
09:16What do you hear today
09:17has proved beyond the shadow of a doubt
09:19just how much hostility you have
09:22for your nephew, Congressman Drew Quartermain?
09:26Kane.
09:27Quartermain!
09:28And if there was any doubt
09:30about your guilt,
09:32there isn't now.
09:33You drugged the congressman.
09:35I did no such thing.
09:37Your client got caught
09:40acting like a frat boy
09:42on spring break.
09:44And to cover his ass,
09:45he planted that ketamine
09:47in my car to frame me.
09:50Actually, Ms. Quartermain,
09:52you're dead wrong about that.
09:54Perhaps, you know,
10:06I could get my old friend
10:09to reconsider your offer.
10:11Are you sure?
10:13Yes, I did ask you
10:15to speak to Sonny
10:16on this matter before
10:16and you declined.
10:18Lucy, I do not want you
10:20to do anything
10:21that makes you
10:21the slightest bit uncomfortable.
10:23One of the reasons
10:24I declined is because
10:25I knew Sonny
10:26would never, ever, ever sell.
10:28But circumstances have changed
10:31and I'd be happy to help.
10:34In fact, I think
10:36I'm going to go
10:36pay him a visit right now.
10:38Wait, wait,
10:39we haven't even ordered yet.
10:40Well, that means
10:41you're just going to owe me
10:42a lunch another day.
10:43Oh, Lucy,
10:44that would have happened
10:45regardless.
10:46You are an absolute angel.
10:53I've considered the possibility
10:55that Natalia could, you know,
10:58leak information to Sidwell.
11:01But from what I've seen,
11:03she can't stand the man.
11:05I mean, that could be an act.
11:06Well, animosity runs deep
11:08and even if Natalia's gone,
11:11Sidwell's going to make plans
11:13to come after us.
11:15and he's not
11:16the type of man
11:17that takes no for an answer.
11:23Okay,
11:24why am I the problem, Portia?
11:26Every time I turn around,
11:28you seem to be begging
11:29for Curtis's attention.
11:31Excuse me?
11:32I don't beg for anything.
11:35Oh, right, right.
11:36You're just consistently
11:37looking for excuses
11:38to seek out my husband.
11:39Curtis and I
11:40have business dealings
11:41and we're still family.
11:44He's TJ's uncle.
11:45Even though you can't handle it,
11:47we are friends.
11:48And I am his wife.
11:50And you're projecting.
11:52Everything you just described
11:53is exactly how you started
11:55chipping away
11:55at my marriage to Curtis.
11:57So this is payback?
11:58Oh, gosh, get a grip.
12:00If you and Curtis
12:01are having problems,
12:02I'm sorry,
12:03but it's not on me.
12:05I'm sorry.
12:05Who said that we're
12:06having problems?
12:07Well, I don't know.
12:08I mean,
12:09something's not right.
12:11Or you wouldn't be here
12:12confronting me in public
12:13for no reason.
12:14Really?
12:15I just saw you
12:16fawning all over my husband
12:17in public.
12:19Jordan, it was embarrassing.
12:21And I think you need
12:22to find some dignity.
12:23Oh, wow.
12:24Well, I mean,
12:25you're the only one here
12:26causing a scene.
12:27All because you're feeling
12:29insecure about your marriage,
12:30but that has nothing
12:31to do with me.
12:33So be a woman
12:34and step up.
12:35If your marriage
12:36is on the rocks,
12:38well,
12:38I'm guessing that
12:40you only have yourself
12:42to blame.
12:42Okay, I'll tell you
12:54this much.
12:55Your mother
12:56is in a tough position
12:57and there could be
12:59very negative consequences
13:00if we don't handle
13:02this just right.
13:03Okay, then
13:04how can I help?
13:06You can't.
13:08But your mother
13:09and I
13:09are handling it.
13:12How?
13:12By tracking down
13:13that Jacinda woman?
13:15Yeah.
13:16Uh-huh.
13:16Exactly.
13:17Why, though?
13:18Are you going to ask her
13:19to lie about
13:20Drew's drug use
13:21or tell the truth?
13:23Honey,
13:24the less you know,
13:24the better.
13:27Dad,
13:28I understand
13:30that you want
13:30to keep me away
13:31from everything
13:32and protect me
13:34and I love you
13:36so much for doing that
13:37but I think
13:38you're making
13:38a big mistake
13:39because I can help.
13:42Cody!
13:43No!
13:43What are you saying?
13:45I put a roof
13:46over your head.
13:46I gave you a job.
13:48This is how you repay me
13:49by taking his life?
13:50Excuse me!
13:51Excuse me!
13:51Listen, Cody.
13:52Mr. Bell.
13:53Why don't you
13:54come on up here
13:56and tell us all?
13:57What is going on right now?
13:58I have no idea.
13:59Cody despises Drew.
14:01So why would he
14:02stand up for him?
14:03This is, uh...
14:04I got nothing.
14:04Mr. Cody Bell,
14:05he is an employee
14:06on the Quartermain Estate.
14:07Yeah, I'm not so sure
14:08about that.
14:09It just so happens
14:10that Mr. Bell
14:11is the son
14:13of PCPD's
14:14Chief of Detectives
14:15Max Scorpio
14:16and as I've
14:17already said,
14:19you work
14:20for Tracy Quartermain.
14:21Isn't that right?
14:22Yes.
14:23I just want to say,
14:25I want to go on record
14:26as saying how courageous
14:27it is for you
14:27to stand up
14:28and speak out
14:29against your
14:30wealthy
14:30and very powerful
14:31employer.
14:32You're saying
14:33that the congressman
14:36did not plant
14:37that bottle of ketamine
14:38in Ms. Quartermain's car?
14:42Um, I know that he didn't.
14:44And how do you know that?
14:45Well,
14:46firstly,
14:47I'd like to say
14:48that I'm not a supporter
14:50of Mr. Cain
14:51at all.
14:52I didn't even vote for him.
14:54But, uh,
14:54I can't just
14:55stand by
14:56in good conscience
14:57and see him
14:58be accused
14:59of something
15:00that he did not do.
15:01Cody!
15:02No, I,
15:02don't you dare
15:04obstruct.
15:06Go ahead.
15:08Okay, um,
15:09I'm in charge
15:10of the horses
15:10on the estate
15:11and Hades
15:13is our prize
15:14show horse.
15:18Go on.
15:19Okay, so, um,
15:21before the Hampton Classic,
15:22uh, I
15:23had to, uh,
15:24help because
15:25Hades required
15:26a minor medical
15:27procedure
15:27and so I had to get
15:28some anesthetic
15:29but my truck
15:30was having trouble
15:31starting so
15:31I borrowed
15:33Ms. Quartermain's
15:34car.
15:35What?
15:36Uh, yes.
15:37Um,
15:38I said I borrowed
15:39the car.
15:40Um, so,
15:41in addition to
15:41some supplies
15:42I had to pick up,
15:43uh, ketamine
15:44for the procedure
15:45and, uh,
15:46I must have left
15:47a vial in Ms. Quartermain's
15:49car which means
15:50that the congressman
15:51did not frame
15:53Ms. Quartermain
15:53and Ms. Quartermain
15:54did not drug
15:55the congressman.
15:57She's innocent.
16:01I appreciate
16:07your concern,
16:08okay?
16:09Your mom's in this
16:09situation because of me.
16:11I took a stand
16:12against Drew
16:12and he's been gunning
16:14for me ever since.
16:17He found a way
16:17to get to me
16:18through your mother
16:19and that's disgraceful.
16:21Now, if you get involved,
16:22he'll target you
16:24and I will not
16:25let that happen.
16:26But there has to be
16:27something that I can do
16:28to help.
16:29You can help.
16:30Both you and Kai
16:31just,
16:32just live your lives,
16:34okay?
16:36That's hard to do
16:37when I'm,
16:37when I'm worried
16:38about mom.
16:40Your mother and I
16:41are capable people.
16:43Trust me.
16:44You got this.
16:47Okay.
16:48Okay, fine.
16:50But you have to promise
16:51me that if things
16:52get worse,
16:53you'll tell me.
16:54I promise.
16:56In the meantime,
16:58do not
16:59discuss this.
17:01anyone.
17:02Yeah.
17:03Yeah, I won't,
17:03I won't say a word
17:04and neither will Kai.
17:06We don't want to do
17:06anything to jeopardize mom.
17:08What is wrong
17:15with you?
17:18Portia,
17:19I think you should
17:19come with me.
17:21I'm warning you.
17:22You better stay
17:23out of my marriage.
17:25Let's go.
17:26Come on.
17:30You feel better?
17:31Not really,
17:32no.
17:33I hate losing
17:34my temper like that.
17:35It's not me.
17:37I need to deal
17:38with this.
17:39I need to deal
17:39with this once
17:40and for all.
17:45And now's my chance.
17:48I deal with Drew.
17:50I just need Michael
17:51to work with me here.
17:53And that's gonna lead
17:54to a lot more
17:55legal wrangling
17:56and I'm just
17:57pretty much done
17:57with that.
17:58At least do it
17:59for our grandchildren.
18:00They need their mother.
18:02They love her.
18:04They need to see her.
18:05And it would go
18:06a long way
18:07towards helping
18:08Willow heal
18:09from the trauma
18:10of losing custody.
18:11I'm not unsympathetic
18:12to Willow's situation.
18:14But I also
18:15haven't forgotten
18:16what she put
18:16my grandkids through
18:17or their father,
18:18Nina.
18:19So that's it.
18:20You're just gonna
18:20walk away
18:22and give up
18:23and let her
18:23marry Drew?
18:25I can't stop her.
18:27Hell,
18:27no one can.
18:29You're gonna have
18:30to figure out
18:30another way
18:31to stop your daughter
18:32from marrying Drew.
18:37Man,
18:37it is too bad
18:38that Sidwell
18:38isn't legit.
18:39I mean,
18:41selling him to Piers
18:42would solve
18:42all of our problems.
18:44But leaving
18:45poor Charles
18:46in his hands
18:47would have been
18:47a huge mistake.
18:48And even though
18:49we didn't find anything
18:49that ties him
18:50to the explosion
18:51at the penthouse,
18:52we didn't find anything
18:53to exonerate him.
18:54There's too much
18:55uncertainty with this guy.
18:56I wasn't gonna
18:56make a deal with him.
18:58Now we have to
18:59prepare for the blowback.
19:01I'll have everyone
19:02on high alert.
19:04Okay.
19:09Good afternoon, gentlemen.
19:14Lucy, come on in.
19:16Thank you very much.
19:18What is that?
19:20Oh, I was just hoping
19:22that you and I
19:23could have a little
19:23tete-a-tete.
19:25Not that you aren't
19:26invited to stay.
19:27That's fine.
19:28I gotta get going.
19:29I'll be in touch.
19:30Appreciate it.
19:30Okay, Mr. Corinthos.
19:37You and I need to
19:38talk about your
19:39peers.
19:45Hello.
19:47Jason, it's Nina.
19:49Any chance you can
19:51meet me at the Metro Court?
19:52I have tried
19:54to be compassionate.
19:55No, you haven't.
19:58You have been
19:58completely unreasonable.
19:59I flew eight hours
20:01to Germany
20:02to try to work
20:02things out with you,
20:03but you refused
20:04to even see me.
20:05Okay, where are you
20:06getting this from?
20:07No one told me
20:08that you were there.
20:09I spoke to the receptionist.
20:11She went to confer
20:12with you.
20:12When she came back,
20:13she said you didn't
20:14want to see me.
20:15That never happened.
20:17Really?
20:18Because after I insisted,
20:20she said you made it clear
20:21you wanted nothing
20:22to do with me.
20:23All right, then there
20:23must be some kind
20:24of mistake, okay?
20:27The mistake was mine.
20:28For thinking there
20:30was a possibility
20:30that the two of us
20:31could find an amicable
20:32compromise.
20:33Just think for a second.
20:34It doesn't make any sense.
20:36Why wouldn't I
20:36want to see you?
20:37Because you couldn't
20:38stand that I chose
20:38Drew over you.
20:40And you're still
20:41holding that against me now.
20:43Just admit it.
20:44You are keeping me
20:45from my children
20:46as punishment
20:47for falling in love
20:49with another man.
20:49I would never
20:50use my children
20:52to punish you.
20:54But I will protect them
20:56from their mother's
20:57fiancee
20:58who is a destructive,
20:59manipulative fraud.
21:01Drew is none
21:01of those things.
21:03And you know
21:03why I fell in love
21:04with him?
21:05Because he respects me
21:06enough to tell me
21:07the truth.
21:07Okay, well then
21:08you're both liars.
21:09Yeah.
21:10All right, he lies to you
21:11and you lie to yourself.
21:12Congratulations.
21:12There are no secrets
21:12between us.
21:14He lets me in.
21:15He doesn't treat me
21:16as a possession.
21:16He treats me
21:17as an equal.
21:19Well, if that's
21:19what you think
21:20then, great.
21:23I won't stop you
21:24from living
21:25in your warped
21:27little fantasy
21:28life with Drew.
21:30But I won't stop you
21:32from dragging my kids
21:33into it
21:33and that is a promise.
21:34You think so?
21:36I know you're used
21:37to getting your way,
21:39Michael.
21:40But not this time.
21:43I am going
21:44to marry Drew
21:45and I am
21:46going
21:47to get my children
21:48back.
21:53Mr. Bell,
21:55why are you lying
21:56for your employer?
21:57I'm not lying.
21:58Miss Quartermain's
21:59innocent.
22:00Well, why didn't
22:00you come forward
22:01before now?
22:03I don't really
22:04watch the news.
22:06There's so much
22:06sadness out there.
22:08I didn't even realize
22:10that I left the ketamine
22:11in Miss Quartermain's car
22:13until it was time
22:13for Hades' procedure
22:14yesterday.
22:15Right.
22:15Yeah, okay.
22:17All right.
22:18Honestly,
22:19full truth,
22:20when I borrowed
22:22Miss Quartermain's car,
22:23I didn't exactly
22:24ask her,
22:25so I was worried
22:26that she'd be upset
22:26if she found out.
22:28You were right about that.
22:29You didn't think she'd be
22:30more upset
22:31by facing charges
22:32that could send her
22:33to prison
22:34as a result?
22:35I didn't realize
22:36how far this was
22:37going to go,
22:37and when I found out
22:38what was happening,
22:39I decided I had
22:40to say something.
22:41How much
22:42is Tracy paying
22:43you to lie?
22:44I have the receipt
22:47right here.
22:51The ketamine.
22:53Yeah,
22:54Dr. Jamie Thomas,
22:55DVM.
22:56It's not DMV.
22:57I looked that up.
22:58It's doctor of veterinary medicine.
23:00I know what it means.
23:01That does not prove
23:02a damn thing,
23:03okay?
23:04That could have been
23:05doctored up this morning.
23:07Oh,
23:07I think we could get
23:08an expert to prove
23:09that it was written
23:10weeks ago.
23:11No,
23:11I could get an expert.
23:12You give it to me,
23:13I'll have it authenticated.
23:14Oh,
23:15no,
23:15this is going
23:15right to my lawyer.
23:17Just give me the...
23:19Sid will send you
23:28over here?
23:29No.
23:30This was totally
23:32my idea
23:34because I really think
23:35you need to
23:35reconsider his offer.
23:37I know you were
23:38expecting to pay
23:39commission.
23:39No,
23:40it's not about
23:40a commission.
23:41It's not about
23:41me being a real
23:42estate agent
23:43at this point.
23:44It's about me
23:44being your friend
23:45and getting you
23:46out of a very
23:46politically sticky
23:48situation.
23:49You know,
23:50this whole big business
23:51with Measure C,
23:52it is truly a mess
23:54for you and Laura.
23:57Well,
23:57that was the only reason
23:58I entertained
23:59the offer
23:59in the first place.
24:00Well,
24:01then why did you
24:01turn the offer down?
24:02Because he's a bad guy.
24:04Okay.
24:05You do realize
24:06you are already
24:08in business with him
24:09through deception.
24:10That was not
24:11my decision.
24:12Have you just
24:13happened to look
24:13at your portfolio
24:15lately?
24:16Our stock
24:17is soaring
24:18and it would be
24:20that much better
24:21if he had his own
24:23peers to operate
24:24his import business
24:25out of and import
24:26all those valuable
24:27minerals.
24:28Minerals
24:29and God knows
24:30what else.
24:31Okay.
24:34Let's get down
24:35to brass tacks,
24:36shall we?
24:38In the spirit
24:38of cooperation
24:40and friendship,
24:42what do I have to do
24:44to make this happen?
24:47Do you really think
24:48your friend Lucy
24:49can get Sonny
24:49to change his mind?
24:52It's a long shot,
24:54but Lucy Coe
24:55can be a very
24:56persuasive person.
24:57And I hope
24:59she succeeds
24:59so I don't have
25:00to resort
25:01to more
25:01drastic measures.
25:04Shut up.
25:06I'm kidding.
25:07I'm kidding.
25:08Come on.
25:09Look,
25:10I'm fairly certain
25:11that Sonny
25:11Corinthians
25:12won't be
25:12an impediment
25:13to you much longer.
25:15Really.
25:17Thank you
25:17for coming
25:17so quickly.
25:18I'm assuming
25:20this has to do
25:21with Michael
25:21and Willow.
25:22It seems
25:23my daughter
25:25is engaged
25:25to Drew
25:26and I need
25:27to make sure
25:27they don't make it
25:28to the altar.
25:29I'm not sure
25:30how I can help.
25:31I just pitched
25:33a plan to Carly
25:34hoping that she
25:35would get Michael
25:35on board,
25:36but she turned
25:37me down.
25:38I'm desperate,
25:39Jason,
25:40so I'm turning
25:40to you.
25:42Again,
25:42I'm not sure
25:43what I can do.
25:45You're close
25:46to Michael.
25:46He values
25:47your opinion.
25:49Right,
25:49that depends.
25:52What's your plan?
25:54I want you
25:55to get Michael
25:56to let Willow
25:57see the kids
25:58without Drew.
25:59That would give
26:00Willow much less
26:01reason to marry Drew
26:02and maybe that
26:03would give me
26:03a little wiggle room
26:04to postpone
26:06the wedding
26:07and if I get
26:07real lucky,
26:09I can convince
26:09my daughter
26:10to dump Drew
26:11altogether.
26:14I mean,
26:15it could work.
26:16Does that mean
26:16that you'll talk
26:17to Michael?
26:18What's going on
26:19here?
26:23I just talked
26:24to Nina
26:24and she told me
26:26that Drew
26:26and Willow
26:27are getting married.
26:28Yeah,
26:28I know.
26:30Willow,
26:30she was just here
26:31in the spirit
26:33of transparency.
26:36Now she's convinced
26:37that marrying Drew
26:38will help her
26:38win back custody
26:39of the kids.
26:40I don't think
26:40that's going to happen.
26:43Well,
26:43one way or another,
26:44I won't let her.
26:45Okay, look.
26:47Nina thinks
26:48that if you allow
26:50Willow visitation
26:51without Drew,
26:52you're going to
26:53take away her incentive
26:54to get married.
26:55And then maybe
26:56Willow will eventually
26:58be pried away
26:59from Drew
27:00and he'll be
27:01out of the picture
27:01for good.
27:03I mean,
27:03in the end,
27:03that's what you want,
27:04right?
27:04Sorry to keep you
27:08waiting.
27:09I was actually
27:10at the Metro Court
27:11pool when you called.
27:13Oh,
27:14I was there today
27:14as well.
27:15We must have
27:15just missed each other.
27:17We didn't.
27:18Because I saw you
27:19there with Jordan.
27:21I think we need
27:22to have a conversation
27:22about that.
27:23Okay,
27:24but we really need
27:25to discuss
27:25something else first.
27:27It's about Trina.
27:28What's going on
27:29with Trina?
27:29Is everything all right?
27:30Trina knows
27:31you're in trouble.
27:33She knows
27:34it's because of Drew.
27:34Are you all right,
27:37Mr. Gray?
27:38I think I landed
27:39on the keys.
27:40Okay,
27:40good problem.
27:41Um,
27:42well,
27:42I think in light
27:44of Mr. Gray's injury,
27:46it's best if we brought
27:47this press conference
27:48to an end.
27:48Thank you so much
27:49for your,
27:51for your time
27:52and for your patience.
27:54Before you go,
27:55do you think
27:56that there's a little
27:57something you might
27:58want to say
27:59to the good people
28:00of Port Charles?
28:03Yes,
28:04yes,
28:04yes,
28:04there is.
28:05Um,
28:06it seems
28:09that my dear
28:11Aunt Tracy
28:11has been
28:12exonerated
28:13and
28:14I can't tell you
28:16how relieved
28:18I am
28:18to know
28:19that she wasn't
28:20the one
28:21that drugged me,
28:22but rest assured,
28:23I will be
28:23working closely
28:26with the PCPD
28:27to find
28:28the real culprit.
28:29Oh,
28:30my darling nephew,
28:32you're not
28:32going to have
28:32to look very far.
28:34Just
28:35look in the mirror.
28:41Hey,
28:42I'm glad you're
28:43still here.
28:45You okay?
28:46Uh,
28:47well,
28:47that was
28:47certainly
28:48unexpected,
28:49but
28:50I'm fine.
28:52Thanks for intervening.
28:53No problem.
28:55I
28:56honestly
28:57don't know
28:57why
28:57Portia flew
28:58off the handle
28:58like that.
28:59Really?
29:00Come on,
29:01Jordan.
29:02I saw you
29:02with Curtis,
29:03too.
29:04Are you
29:05seriously
29:05trying to say
29:06that Portia
29:07has nothing
29:07to worry about?
29:08we should have
29:11been more careful
29:12for Kai
29:13to have
29:13overheard us
29:14like that.
29:17There's nothing
29:17we can do
29:18about it now.
29:19Do you think
29:20that he told
29:20Drew
29:21what he heard?
29:22Trina said
29:23he wouldn't
29:23do that.
29:25And frankly,
29:25I have a hard
29:26time believing
29:26that Kai
29:28could do
29:28anything
29:29that would
29:29hurt this
29:29family
29:30or Trina.
29:32We just
29:32have to make
29:33sure she
29:33doesn't get
29:34tangled up
29:34in this mess.
29:35But does
29:36Trina know
29:36what Drew
29:37is holding
29:38over my head?
29:39Trina has
29:39no idea
29:40that you
29:41doctored
29:42Heather Weber's
29:43test results
29:44to keep
29:44her behind
29:44bars.
29:46Well,
29:46thank God
29:47for that.
29:48Because if
29:48she did know,
29:49she would
29:49probably blame
29:50herself for
29:50everything that's
29:51going on
29:51right now.
29:52She probably
29:53would.
29:54So,
29:55we have to
29:56make sure
29:57she's not
29:57burdened with
29:58that by
29:58stopping Drew.
29:59After
30:00everything
30:00that we've
30:00done,
30:02it just,
30:02it doesn't
30:03even seem
30:04possible.
30:05Well,
30:06actually,
30:07I have
30:08some good
30:09news on
30:09that front.
30:11I used
30:12to think
30:12that there'd
30:13come a day
30:13where Willow
30:13would come
30:14to her senses,
30:15but I was
30:15wrong.
30:16And so
30:16are you
30:17and Nina.
30:18Why do you
30:19say that?
30:19today,
30:21I finally got
30:21it.
30:23For whatever
30:23reason,
30:24and I know
30:24there are
30:25many,
30:26Willow is
30:26incapable
30:27of realizing
30:28that her
30:29relationship with
30:30Drew is
30:30harming our
30:31kids.
30:32She lost
30:33custody because
30:33of him.
30:34It doesn't
30:34matter who
30:34tells her,
30:35you,
30:35me,
30:35the judge.
30:36Either she
30:36can't see
30:37it or she
30:37won't.
30:41Ultimately,
30:41it doesn't
30:41matter.
30:44The impact
30:45on my kids
30:45is the same.
30:48Okay.
30:50What's the
30:51plan?
30:52I'm going to
30:52have Diane
30:53delay the
30:53visitation hearing
30:54as long as
30:55possible.
30:57And once
30:57we finally
30:57do have a
30:58hearing,
31:01we'll get
31:02nothing.
31:05Keeping the
31:06kids from
31:06their mother,
31:07it won't
31:09break my
31:09heart every
31:10day,
31:11but I can't
31:14allow Drew
31:14to be a part
31:15of their
31:15lives.
31:16I won't
31:16do it.
31:17If you
31:18hadn't
31:18been so
31:19focused on
31:21revenge,
31:22maybe you
31:23would have
31:23seen what
31:24she was
31:24planning and
31:25been able to
31:26stop her
31:27before she
31:28made fools
31:29of both of
31:29you.
31:29Drew, I
31:30swear I
31:30can still
31:31do damage.
31:32Control
31:32with the
31:33press.
31:33Shut up.
31:34Just stop
31:35already.
31:35You've done
31:36enough.
31:37Okay.
31:38Well, in
31:38that case,
31:40Kai,
31:41careful.
31:42Careful.
31:43I'm going
31:43to...
31:44I'm going
31:45to go
31:45to a hospital
31:47and get
31:48my, uh,
31:49fact
31:49checked.
31:49Yeah,
31:50that's fine.
31:51And that
31:51retainer,
31:52by the way,
31:53that's all
31:54you're getting.
31:55It's quite a
31:56speech you
31:57had up there.
31:58Just the
31:58truth.
32:00And if the
32:00police looked
32:01into that
32:01ketamine
32:01purchase,
32:02check out,
32:03no problem.
32:05You don't
32:06have the
32:06actual
32:06receipt for
32:07that,
32:07do you?
32:09Uh, yeah,
32:10yeah, somewhere.
32:10I mean,
32:11I have to
32:11check.
32:11I'm not
32:12really good
32:12at record
32:12keeping.
32:14Why am I
32:15not surprised?
32:17That's pretty
32:18wild how
32:19Cody just
32:19rode into
32:20your rescue
32:21like that.
32:21Yeah, well,
32:22I'm very relieved
32:23that my good
32:24name has been
32:25cleared and
32:26that I am
32:26no longer...
32:27You know how
32:30much I love
32:31you and
32:31our friendship.
32:33You are a
32:34very savvy
32:35businesswoman.
32:38Savvy enough
32:39to know
32:39that there
32:40are situations
32:41you should
32:41not be
32:42involved in.
32:45And
32:45this is
32:47one of
32:47those
32:47situations.
32:50Then I
32:50will
32:51back off?
32:53You know
32:54me,
32:54I had
32:54to try.
32:56However,
32:56I do think
32:57you are
32:58judging
32:58Sidwell
32:59on his
33:00reputation
33:00and not
33:02on his
33:02actions.
33:04Both of us
33:05know what
33:05that's like.
33:06We do,
33:07and when it
33:08comes to
33:08Sidwell,
33:09I trust
33:10my sources.
33:11And I
33:12trust mine.
33:14Thank you
33:15for hearing
33:16me out,
33:17and I
33:17certainly
33:18hope I
33:19haven't
33:19imposed
33:20on our
33:21friendship.
33:22No,
33:22not at
33:22all.
33:24Especially
33:24when you
33:25bring me
33:26such
33:26delicious
33:28oranges.
33:37Why are you
33:38so confident
33:38that Sonny
33:39won't be a
33:39problem?
33:40Do you know
33:41something?
33:42I've already
33:42said as much
33:43as I can
33:43say.
33:44okay?
33:48I understand.
33:50And I
33:50hope you're
33:50right.
33:51I prefer
33:51not to
33:52get my
33:52hands dirty
33:53to eradicate
33:54Sonny
33:55Krinthus from
33:55poor Charles.
34:00But that
34:02ends up
34:03being my
34:03only option.
34:04Well,
34:06so be it.
34:08There is
34:09nothing going
34:10on with me
34:11and Curtis.
34:11Okay,
34:12but can you
34:13say it was
34:13completely
34:14innocent?
34:15You know
34:15what?
34:16Never mind.
34:17It's not my
34:17business anymore.
34:19Isaiah.
34:21I am
34:22sorry that
34:23it didn't
34:24work out
34:24between us.
34:25Me too.
34:26I can see
34:27now that
34:27Sidwell wasn't
34:28the only
34:28problem in the
34:29way.
34:30Your ex-husband
34:31was too.
34:32That's not
34:32true.
34:33I think
34:34deep down
34:34inside you
34:35know what
34:35is.
34:37And if
34:38not,
34:40you're
34:40in for a
34:41rude
34:41awakening.
34:41I heard
34:47from
34:47Felicia.
34:48She's got
34:49a lead
34:49on Jacinda.
34:51She knows
34:52where she
34:52is?
34:53Sydney,
34:54Australia.
34:55I don't
34:55know the
34:56exact location
34:56yet,
34:57but I
34:57should know
34:57within 48
34:58hours.
34:59Thank
34:59God.
35:00Maybe
35:01this nightmare
35:01will be
35:02over soon.
35:03Yeah.
35:04So once I
35:04talk with
35:05Jacinda,
35:06I'll convince
35:07her to come
35:07back and
35:08then publicly
35:09state that
35:09it was Drew
35:10who hired
35:11her for a
35:11wild night
35:12of sex
35:12and drugs.
35:14He won't
35:14have time
35:15to focus
35:15on blackmailing
35:16you.
35:16He will
35:17be too
35:17busy worried
35:18about keeping
35:19his career
35:20from completely
35:21imploding.
35:23You don't
35:24think I
35:24got Cody
35:25to lie
35:26for me,
35:27do you?
35:27I'm not
35:28judging.
35:29I thought
35:29it was
35:29clever.
35:30It was,
35:31wasn't it?
35:31It was
35:32Michael's
35:32idea.
35:33Wow,
35:34Wade,
35:35all of you.
35:37You see,
35:38real
35:38quartermanes,
35:40we get
35:41things done.
35:43I'm gonna
35:43have to
35:44call off
35:44the wedding
35:44like I
35:45can't be
35:46the reason
35:46that she
35:47loses her
35:47kids forever.
35:48And that's
35:49really a
35:50possibility?
35:52It seems
35:53like everybody's
35:54against us.
35:59Congressman,
35:59there's something
36:00you should know.
36:01What is it?
36:03Curtis Ashford
36:04plans to find
36:05that escort
36:05Jacinda and bring
36:06her here to
36:07Port Charles
36:07to tell everyone
36:08that you are
36:08knowingly abusing
36:09drugs.
36:11This could be
36:11a huge problem
36:12for you and
36:12Willow.
36:13So you need
36:14to prepare now
36:14in case he
36:15succeeds.
36:17Michael sent
36:18you to
36:18intimidate me
36:19and my mom,
36:20right?
36:20To stop me
36:21from marrying
36:21Drew?
36:22Well, it won't
36:23work.
36:24Okay, Willow,
36:25you're making a
36:25mistake.
36:26No, you are.
36:27You are wrong
36:27about your brother.
36:28He's a good
36:29man, and I
36:30can't wait to
36:30be his wife.
36:31And together
36:32we'll get my
36:32kids back.
36:34Okay, if that's
36:35what you want
36:36to do.
36:36It is.
36:39It's your
36:40choice.
36:46I hate
36:47separating the
36:49kids from their
36:49mom, but it's
36:50for their own
36:50good.
36:52And please
36:53tell me that
36:53you understand
36:54where I'm
36:54coming from.
36:56I do.
36:58I've been
36:59where you are.
37:02I was
37:02convinced
37:03that keeping
37:04you from
37:05AJ was
37:05the right
37:06thing.
37:09Keep in
37:09mind,
37:11you didn't
37:12thank me
37:13for that
37:13decision.
37:15And your
37:16kids might
37:16not thank
37:16you.
37:19They may
37:19very well
37:20resent you
37:20for it.
37:22I know.
37:26But I
37:26gotta do
37:26it anyway.
37:30I'll
37:30stop
37:31to live
37:31with the
37:31consequences.
37:35On the
37:35next
37:36General
37:36Hospital.
37:37To reach
37:37Gio,
37:38you and I
37:38are gonna
37:38have to
37:39work
37:39together.
37:39We

37:40discuss
37:40your
37:40payment.
37:41My job
37:41already
37:41done?
37:42Do you
37:42think I'm
37:42leaving
37:43work on?
37:43If anyone
37:44can irritate
37:45that woman,
37:45it's you.
37:46You
37:46lying liar.
