00:00This is a really cute house.
00:02Louie's done alone in a short amount of time.
00:04Yeah, I know. She really did, right?
00:07She's not here right now, and Dante took the kids,
00:09so I figured this would be a really safe spot
00:12for us to discuss our plans.
00:14So tell me, what's going on with Sidwell?
00:17Laura, I think you're in big trouble.
00:21Aurora's media coverage of Drew's scandal was fair.
00:25Willow thought so.
00:27And I just don't think it's a big deal
00:29running an editorial simply based on the facts.
00:32And it is factually accurate.
00:35And Drew has yet to prove that he was drugged.
00:37I just don't think that it's a good move.
00:39Why? And why are you defending him?
00:42Because I have to.
00:44I'm not up to anything.
00:46I was just asking Ned to endorse my mother for mayor.
00:52Lulu, this isn't about Ned or your mother
00:55or the running of poor Giles.
00:58This is about you and Brooklyn.
01:01Let me guess.
01:03Brooklyn's still complaining
01:04because I'm writing an article about adoption.
01:06I know from unfortunate experience
01:10what every member of the Quartermain household sounds like
01:13when they're complaining and Brooklyn's not complaining.
01:16And what was it?
01:19It was fear, panic, desperation, and pain.
01:28I swear, I didn't know that Brooklyn and Chase were planning to adopt.
01:33But you did know that she gave up a child when she was young.
01:43And it broke her heart.
01:46And apparently you found the shattered pieces in Martin Gray's hotel room.
01:52And you have been tormenting her ever since.
01:57Okay, thanks. Great.
01:59So, what do you guys say?
02:00You ready to get your tango on?
02:02Oh, yes, I think so.
02:03I mean, I feel like we've had a couple of very good rehearsals.
02:06But we could definitely give some feedback.
02:08Oh, there will be feedback.
02:09Brooklyn is a very exacting producer.
02:12I promise to be kind after all.
02:15This is for charity.
02:16Yes.
02:17And, um, you know, now that you're here,
02:21uh, the tango's a very passionate dance.
02:24And, uh, I'm his boss.
02:28I'm just glad you're here
02:29because I don't want there to be any question of impropriety.
02:32Which, of course, you know, there wouldn't.
02:34Uh, excuse me.
02:35I don't care if you guys are brother and sister.
02:38This dance needs to have some heat.
02:40If this performance doesn't go well, Lucy won't be happy,
02:42which means I won't be happy.
02:44I do live to make Lucy happy.
02:46Yes, same. Of course.
02:48Uh, where's Gio?
02:49I think we all do.
02:50I thought he was gonna play the violin for you guys.
02:51He is, he is.
02:52Sorry, I'm late.
02:54Oh.
02:55Is everything alright?
02:56Um, not really.
02:59I sort of had a rough night last night.
03:03Thanks for coming in.
03:04Oh, thank you for seeing me.
03:05I'm assuming that you've made your decision
03:07on your summer research assistant?
03:09Yes, I have.
03:10Um, and I'm sorry to say that you did not get the position.
03:17Oh, so good to see you.
03:19Did you spend a lot of time at the pool in LA?
03:22I spent more time in offices than I did by the pool.
03:25But I want to hear about you.
03:26I want to hear about school.
03:27I want to hear about everything going on with you.
03:29Yes, you will.
03:30But first I've got to ask you, what's going on with you and Sonny?
03:36You're telling me that you would sell your peers to Sidwell?
03:40Jason.
03:42I'm gonna consider it.
03:43Okay, you know how dangerous this guy is.
03:46Do you really feel comfortable handing your territory over to him?
03:49Sidwell is not my first choice, but it's the only chance we have to walk away from the business.
03:59I've got a hard problem for our family's sake.
04:06I'm not passing it up.
04:07I'm glad Rocco's all right.
04:11Yeah, Lulu must have been going out of her mind.
04:14Mm-hmm.
04:15Yeah, she and Dante were both pretty upset.
04:17Yeah, we heard Dante was pretty hard on you, but I hope you're not taking it too personally, though.
04:22He was probably just scared for Rocco.
04:24Yeah, that's what your mom said.
04:26I know you guys are trying to look out for me and make me feel better, but I'm good. I'm good.
04:31Well, if you're ready, we are as ready as 11.
04:34Yeah, yeah, let's have a go.
04:35Okay.
04:36All right, so what do you think about this for Chase's tango outfit?
04:41I think that he would break his own leg if he had to wear that.
04:46Sometimes you could just say, pass.
04:49Sorry, pass.
04:51I'm surprised you're still talking to me.
04:55Oh, yeah? Pretty sure I'm not supposed to be talking to Lulu.
04:58I should never have asked you to pick sides, Maxie.
05:01And even though Lulu has done one too many things to me,
05:05doesn't give me the right to try to force you to choose between your friends.
05:08Yeah, well...
05:09It's okay.
05:10No, it's not.
05:11And I'm sorry.
05:13Apology accepted.
05:15What was it that made you decide to let go of whatever it was she did this time?
05:22Well, Chase and I are starting the process of trying to adopt a child.
05:25What?
05:26Oh my gosh, I'm so happy for you.
05:30And since I'm on my way to becoming a parent myself, I thought this was a good time to start acting like an adult.
05:37Which means no more unnecessary drama or childish demands.
05:41Okay, I had the highest grade out of anyone in your class and you practically told me that that job was mine to lose.
05:46In all honesty, it was.
05:48And unfortunately, that's... that's exactly what happened.
05:51How?
05:52Because I can't have a research assistant who can't put together a decent data model.
05:56What are you talking about?
05:57I spent weeks on that data model and it's perfect.
06:00It is not.
06:02Quite frankly, it's a mess.
06:05Do you see what I mean?
06:08This isn't my work.
06:11Something is really wrong here.
06:14There is nothing going on between me and Sunny.
06:17You told me that you were going to LA with him to interview doctors for Michael's follow-up treatment.
06:22And then I'm spending time with Donna and she's going on and on about how worried she is because her father's sick.
06:28I lied to you.
06:30And I'm sorry.
06:32Sunny had heart surgery.
06:34Oh my God.
06:35Is he okay?
06:36Yes, he's fine.
06:37The surgery was a success.
06:38He's already back here in Port Charles.
06:40But we have to keep it quiet.
06:41We don't want people to worry about him, you know?
06:43Yes, and we don't want Sunny's rivals to take advantage of his condition.
06:46Exactly.
06:47Gosh, I'm happy he's okay.
06:49Donna would have been devastated if anything had happened to him.
06:52Yeah, she would have.
06:55Did you have to be the one to go with him?
06:58I did.
06:59And not just because of Donna.
07:01I did it for Sunny.
07:03Sunny's been a part of my life for a very long time and I really needed to be there for him.
07:09Okay.
07:10I get it.
07:11Just tell me there was no romantic reunion.
07:13There was no romantic reunion.
07:15Are you kidding me?
07:16Sunny and I are over.
07:17I'm with Jack now.
07:18Did I just hear my name without any unflattering adjectives before it?
07:22Wow.
07:23That was perfect timing, Mr. Brennan.
07:26Mm-hmm.
07:27You spying on us?
07:28Absolutely not.
07:30I keep my business life separate from my personal life.
07:34This morning, I was at a meeting with Sidwell.
07:37Sidwell's son, Marco, who's also his lawyer.
07:40And Tracy.
07:41Drew showed up as well, but he didn't stay long.
07:45That's not a group I would expect to meet for coffee.
07:49Neither would I.
07:50But they've all decided to put their differences aside so they can focus on the one goal they have in common.
07:55Driving Sunny out of Port Charles.
07:58You know, I knew that Tracy was gunning for Sunny, but I'd hoped that I had talked her out of it.
08:04Yeah.
08:05Well, she's not budging.
08:07And because you're tied to Sunny publicly, it's a good bet they're gunning for you as well.
08:11So they can install Boyle as mayor.
08:15Tracy didn't defend me?
08:17No.
08:20Then I really am in trouble.
08:22You know, it's one thing to go up against Sidwell and Drew, but Tracy...
08:38I mean, she's got quite a bit of sway in this town.
08:42Well, don't give up hope yet.
08:44Strangely enough, in the end, it might be Sidwell who comes to your rescue.
08:52Sidwell's willing to buy my peers at a premium, which means I get to walk away with millions of dollars.
09:02Well, I can put that towards legitimate businesses.
09:05Then I'm not just talking to the coffee.
09:07Why would you pay that kind of money?
09:09When he knows if measure C passes, he could lose the peers.
09:12Because he's betting that if I'm not associated with the peer, the referendum will go away.
09:17Yeah, and then he takes full control of our territory.
09:21What does it matter, Jason?
09:23We'd be out of the game.
09:24Yeah, I want out as much as you do, but I just have a feeling that this is a trap.
09:30Do you have to defend him?
09:34Honey, for you.
09:36You're not looking at this objectively.
09:38You have clear bias against Drew, which I completely understand.
09:42But that forces me to play devil's advocate.
09:44Honey, I don't want to force you to do anything.
09:47Especially when Drew Cain is involved.
09:50Okay, um, let's say, you know what, let's say that you do run this editorial.
09:57Drew's desperate right now.
09:59He's not going to let it stand.
10:01You know, I worry that he could, you know, he could bring a lawsuit against you.
10:05I'd like to see him try.
10:07But you forced him out of Aurora.
10:09He could argue that it's an intentional attack, that you wanted to do him harm.
10:13There's more leeway with an editorial than a straight story.
10:16It's not like I'd be the one writing it.
10:18Honey, you know how this would look.
10:21This has a potential to backfire in a big, big way.
10:27Okay, tormenting is a huge exaggeration, which is typical Brooklyn.
10:33It was my word, not hers.
10:35And I didn't know that she told you about the baby.
10:38She told me she got pregnant in high school and she gave the baby up for adoption.
10:44And that's it? That's all she said?
10:47Actually, she said you stumbled across that information when you broke into Martin Gray's hotel room.
10:54And that you have been poking around in her life ever since.
10:59That is not...
11:00I don't understand, Lulu.
11:03Even if you can't get along with Brooklyn now, how can you not have compassion for the terrified teenager she was?
11:11You've been there.
11:13You know what that horrible moment is like when you realize you're pregnant and you don't want to be.
11:19I do feel for Brooklyn.
11:24It's just it's more complicated than that.
11:26It's always complicated.
11:29Because it's so personal.
11:32When you were pregnant, what should have been a very quiet, private decision was all of a sudden a public debate.
11:40And your thoughts and feelings were obscured by everybody's opinions, which were usually not what yours were.
11:46Mine as well, at least in the beginning.
11:50You got there eventually.
11:54Your father once told me that people get to choose the burdens they're going to carry.
12:05Lulu, I never should have added to your burden, and I'm so sorry.
12:09But I don't understand why you want to add to Brooklyn's burden.
12:20So, does Lulu know that I asked you to choose between us?
12:24Actually, I've not spoken with Lulu, and it's not because you asked me to.
12:28We've both just been busy, you know?
12:30Yeah.
12:31She's got a new job and a new house, and I've been going insane running deception.
12:34We need a new CFO.
12:35Yeah, we do.
12:36And somehow I got roped into helping Lucy.
12:39Yeah, I'm so sorry that I added to your stress by asking you to choose one friendship over another, really.
12:45I'm just glad it never came to that.
12:48But if you had to choose?
12:50I love you both equally and would never choose between either one of you.
12:54Of course.
12:56But you would have picked me, right?
12:57Oh my gosh.
12:58Professor Dalton, I have no idea what has happened here, but this is not the work that I completed.
13:04Okay, so maybe that file got corrupted or something.
13:06Okay, but whatever the case is, I have no choice but to hire somebody else.
13:10But this isn't the work that I did.
13:11I'm sorry.
13:13Look, I know you're disappointed.
13:16All right?
13:17But look at the bright side here.
13:18I mean, the data model was not for a credit, okay?
13:20So it's not going to affect your grade, and you are still, you're still my top student.
13:25I understand.
13:26Yeah.
13:28I just really, really wanted that assistantship.
13:31And you have no idea how important that job was to me.
13:34Jack, join us.
13:35No, no, I don't want to intrude.
13:37No, please, it's fine.
13:39She was just telling me about her trip to L.A.
13:41She was interviewing doctors to try to find a new treatment for me.
13:45Jocelyn, it's okay.
13:46Jack knows the real reason I was there.
13:48In fact, he was already on the West Coast, and he gave me a ride home on the WSB jet.
13:53How thoughtful.
13:54It was.
13:55And I got home a lot sooner than I would have otherwise.
14:02Oh, this is my professor.
14:04I have to go.
14:05What are you talking about? We're not done catching up.
14:06I know, but we will.
14:08I applied for his summer research position, and he could be letting me know if I got the job or not.
14:12Oh, good luck.
14:14And thank you for getting my mom home safe.
14:16Oh, it was my pleasure.
14:17I hope you get the position.
14:20Bye.
14:21I have my reservations about Sidwell, too, but the pros are outweighing the cons.
14:30Okay, let's just talk through it then.
14:31Okay, so we always talked about getting out, right?
14:35There's gonna be a power vacuum.
14:37Somebody's gonna take over.
14:39Yeah, of course.
14:40Somebody's gonna try to take over.
14:41The waterfront is way too valuable.
14:43We've been protecting the waterfront for years.
14:46All the families are gonna make a play for it.
14:48Right, and I've always had my conditions of what comes in and out of the city.
14:52Yeah, and those conditions go away if you're not in charge.
14:57So if the families move in, right, make their play, it's not gonna be good.
15:05There's gonna be a war, and who's to say we're not gonna be dragged right back into this?
15:11I know.
15:13Selling to Sidwell, it avoids it.
15:18And maybe the other families will go after him.
15:21He knows how to secure his holdings.
15:24He'll lay down the law real fast.
15:27Sonny, is this what we want for poor Charles?
15:31Because I have experience with this guy.
15:36He is ruthless.
15:38If we do this, we would essentially be handing him the keys to the city and putting targets on our backs.
15:46Tracy, I am not adding to Brooklyn's burden.
15:49And I promise you, I am not judging her for giving up her child.
15:54But you can see where it might seem like you are when you bring the subject of adoption up and you write an article about it.
16:07But the article's not judging adoption.
16:10But if Brooklyn feels like it is, I guess it must be true.
16:15Brooklyn says I side with you most of the time.
16:18You don't.
16:19Well, I guess if you both feel shortchanged, then I must be doing something right.
16:25For the hundredth time, I pitched three ideas to the Landview banner and the editor chose the adoption piece, not me.
16:32Mm-hmm.
16:34And you knew that one of the ideas you had was a sensitive subject and you pitched it anyway.
16:40And then when the editor picked it, you couldn't be blamed.
16:43That's not why I pitched it.
16:45I don't understand why you think you can involve yourself in something that happened to Brooklyn over 20 years ago.
16:56I think that Brooklyn should tell the baby's father that he has a child and she doesn't agree.
17:06Noted. Moving on.
17:07Wait, no, there is more to this.
17:08It's not your business.
17:10Is this article your way of disagreeing with Brooklyn publicly?
17:17No.
17:19Okay, so then when this article comes out, Brooklyn's not going to see any parallels to her own situation.
17:25I mean, it's not impossible.
17:29Okay, how would you feel if you had been keeping a really big secret for a really long time?
17:37And Brooklyn found out and decided to produce a song about it.
17:45I wouldn't love it.
17:49You should rethink things.
17:52Are you saying I should kill my article?
17:55Yes.
17:57I think you should.
17:58I love you.
18:00I love you.
18:05Hey, what are you doing here?
18:08What's wrong?
18:10Everything.
18:12Yeah, I just talked to Professor Dalton and I didn't get the job.
18:16The research assistant position is yours.
18:19Oh.
18:21Wow.
18:22Thank you so much.
18:24Wow, I can't believe it.
18:26Yeah, I was pretty skeptical when you applied for the position.
18:29You know, you started class late, which didn't help your chances, but you completed the coursework and you did hand in a pretty impressive data model.
18:37And you did all of this in a really short amount of time, so congratulations.
18:40Well, I'm glad that everything turned out okay.
18:44Don't do that.
18:45You give yourself credit for this.
18:47Okay?
18:48Because you are smart.
18:49You are motivated.
18:50You are incredibly focused.
18:51And I have really, really high hopes for you.
18:54Okay?
18:56Okay.
18:57Well, thank you so much for the opportunity.
18:59I'm sure I'm going to learn so much from being your assistant.
19:03I appreciate you looking out for me.
19:05I do.
19:07But that's what excellent lawyers are for.
19:10I promise I will consult with my lawyers before I publish anything.
19:15Even if Drew doesn't sue, aren't you worried about how this is going to look for Aurora?
19:20How will it look?
19:22You slamming someone that might have been victimized and also going after his sweet, adoring girlfriend to the public?
19:30That might look like you're bullying them.
19:32That's ridiculous.
19:33Did you see the press conference?
19:35Willow, she was standing right by Drew's side.
19:37Her devotion to him, I mean, it's written all over her.
19:40It's sincere.
19:42She could sway public opinion in Drew's favor.
19:45Even more reason to run a counter viewpoint.
19:49Especially if we want to stop Drew from getting Ezra Boyle elected mayor instead of Laura.
19:54Honey, please, can you just do what I'm asking you to do?
19:58For my sake.
20:00What does this have to do with you?
20:04Don't tell me that you started to buy into Sidwell's good guy act.
20:08Not even a little.
20:09Okay.
20:11But he is making a move that may unintentionally make life easier for you.
20:18I'm listening.
20:20Sidwell and I paid Sonny a visit at his home.
20:22Sidwell made a generous offer to Sonny to buy his peers outright.
20:27And I assume that Sonny showed him the door.
20:31Actually, no.
20:32He said he'd think it over.
20:34You're not telling me that Sonny's actually entertaining Sidwell's offer.
20:38I don't know.
20:40But if he does, that's great for you.
20:41The referendum will no longer be about Sonny and you can extricate yourself from him.
20:47You'll be a shoo-in for re-election.
20:48Yeah, but with Sonny gone, that would make Sidwell the de facto mob boss of poor Charles.
20:55Look, if I could choose between Jen Sidwell and Sonny Carinthos, I'd choose Sonny every day of the week.
21:00I went to see Sidwell when he first got here. He said he was running a legitimate business.
21:06Yeah, but you didn't buy that.
21:08No.
21:10But, I mean, you know what? He's got eyes on him now.
21:14Maybe he's on his best behavior, keeping his nose clean.
21:17Or maybe he'll turn out to be a complete tyrant and cause all kinds of problems.
21:20Right, but then we'll let the PCPD and the feds shut him down.
21:26I have dealt with threats like Sid will in poor Charles my whole life.
21:32And guess what?
21:34The people can vote against me and send me packing.
21:39You know what?
21:41I don't want that to happen.
21:43I just wish there was another option.
21:46I'm not getting out of the business unless I sell it to you.
21:52And you don't want it.
21:57So, you know, we're gonna have to sell it to the highest bidder.
22:02Listen, listen, everything you're saying makes sense.
22:06I mean, okay, maybe this is our one shot.
22:08Which is why I need to sell to Sidwell.
22:12Just one piece of information I need to know first.
22:16I worked so hard on that data model.
22:20I don't understand how it could get so screwed up.
22:23Emma, I'm so sorry.
22:26Yeah, me too.
22:28Cost me the position.
22:30Isn't the original still on your laptop?
22:33I mean, can you show it to your professor so he can see the work for himself?
22:37I mean, it's an older, less refined version.
22:40And it's too late because he's already hired somebody else.
22:42Emma, this meant everything to you.
22:46Don't you think it's worth giving it one more shot?
22:49I guess I could try and talk to him.
22:52Can't hurt, right?
22:55Right.
22:59Hey, any news on Sidwell?
23:00Like, has he kidnapped anyone recently or jaywalked anything illegal?
23:13No, no. Not that I'm aware of, anyway.
23:15Okay, great. That's good news.
23:16For Deception.
23:17I mean, we are making a lot of money off his ink-ite.
23:20I'm just scared.
23:21You know, he's gonna do something to pull the rug out from under us.
23:25Yeah, I understand that.
23:27I think just keep documenting all your dealings with him.
23:30Because if his assets suddenly get frozen, you're gonna need to extricate Deception as quickly as you can.
23:36And keep looking around for other supply chains.
23:38Okay, thanks for your advice. That's kind of what we've been doing.
23:43Yeah.
23:45Hey.
23:47Where's Emma? I saw she was here.
23:49Did she go?
23:50She had to head back to school.
23:51Oh, okay. That's too bad.
23:54Okay, it is time to put this act together. Let's see what you guys got.
24:01So when can I get started?
24:03Well, the real work doesn't start to the end of the semester.
24:07But until then, you can help me get organized. You know, stuff like that.
24:11Yeah, I'm happy to dive in whenever.
24:13Well, that's exactly what I was hoping to hear.
24:15But before you do anything, there is one condition.
24:20And I'm afraid it's a deal-breaker.
24:25I'm sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt your mother-daughter visit. I was just saying hello.
24:28That's okay. Jocelyn had to go.
24:30I think she's warming up to you.
24:31Mmm, I think she was just being polite.
24:35Oh, my daughter, um, is not shy about voicing her opinion.
24:38I mean, she had plenty to say about Sunny.
24:41Oh, yeah? But, uh, what does she have against your ex?
24:44She doesn't like how Sunny's trouble seems to rub off on me.
24:47She's not wrong.
24:49I mean, she would definitely lose her mind if she knew I was anywhere near that attempted assassination.
24:53Yeah, well, I wasn't thrilled myself.
24:56But everything turned out okay, thanks to you.
24:58No, no. Brick handled the assassin. I just did some light cleaning.
25:04Right. The WSB stepped in and discreetly handled the situation so the word wouldn't get up.
25:11You did Brick and Sunny a huge favor. And I appreciate it more than I can say.
25:16Well, I didn't do it for Brick. I didn't do it for Sunny. I did it for you.
25:23Port Charles has always had an organized crime presence. I don't see that changing.
25:30Port Charles is a port city not far from a major metropolitan area.
25:33Exactly. But with Sunny in control, it has been stable and relatively peaceful.
25:39It's only when a challenger shows up that it gets kind of ugly, which is precisely why I'm undercover with Sidwell.
25:46If he gains control of those peers and starts breaking the law, I will be right there to catch him.
25:51And then we only have to worry about who's coming in after him.
25:54Okay, Laura, one problem at a time. Okay.
25:59Yes, you're absolutely right.
26:01Thank you. Thank you for telling me about Sidwell's offer.
26:04It's an intriguing new development.
26:09Sidwell's never dull.
26:11I will keep you updated.
26:13Yeah, Jordan. Listen, please be careful, okay?
26:18You're risking so much.
26:20Don't worry. I know what I'm doing.
26:24Before I make a deal with Sidwell, I need to make sure that he's not the one who put a firebomb in my apartment and hurt Michael.
26:35If he is, he's probably behind your assassination attempt in L.A. too.
26:39Yeah, well, we've been going back and forth of, you know, him being the guy, but I need to settle this once and for all.
26:47It's time we do a little digging ourselves.
26:51I agree.
26:53I'm on it.
26:57You might not realize it, but your coverage of Drew, it affects me personally.
27:01Because of Willow.
27:03How?
27:05She's my employee.
27:06If you go hard against one of my employees' partners, a congressman no less, it could make things very difficult for me and the hospital. We could be in an uncomfortable position.
27:17Well, I don't want to do that. But I do have an obligation to cover what's happening. And then report it. I can't let Drew have his way. It's not good for this city.
27:26Yes, but it doesn't have to be your fight, babe.
27:28Then whose fight is it?
27:29The public's. There are legitimate arguments out there against Measure C and to re-elect Laura. For the sake of objectivity, how about we let those arguments speak for themselves?
27:42You make a good point. I suppose if I lay off Drew a little bit, it might make both of our lives easier?
27:49I think that it will.
27:59Yeah, hey, Travis. Look, I've been thinking about the Congressman Cain editorial. I think we should hold off. At least for now.
28:09Okay, what's the condition? You have to sign an NDA. Right. It stipulates that you can't talk to anybody about the work you do here as my assistant.
28:22Of course. I will never share anything with anyone. Okay. And all the research is exclusively my IP. And you can't take anything that you learn here as work and use it for the basis of your own work in the future.
28:38Yeah, that sounds perfectly reasonable. If that's what this says, I'm happy to sign.
28:45Well, in that case, welcome aboard, Miss Jacks.
28:52That's not a fair ask, Tracy. This is my journalistic comeback.
28:57You're a Spencer. You can do anything you put your mind to. Sell the editor and what are your other ideas?
29:02Well, and scrap all of my research and all of my interviews. Can't you just tell Brooklyn that this isn't about her and make her let it go?
29:11Would you be able to let it go? Please, Lulu. Do this for me.
29:16Okay, fine. If it'll get everyone off my back, I will call the editor and I'll tell her I need to do something else and I'll just pray that she agrees.
29:27I am only doing this for you.
29:30I appreciate that.
29:33So that's it? We're just done talking?
29:38Uh, yeah. I figure you've heard enough of my voice for one afternoon.
29:46Or you have other people you need to browbeat into submission.
29:49Don't let me keep you.
29:54I love you.
29:55I love you, too.
29:57Even though you went full step monster today.
30:00Really?
30:02I felt kind of rusty.
30:03Boy, your man has moves. You're one lucky lady.
30:19Don't I know it?
30:21You know how you said you keep your personal life and your work life separate?
30:25That's not entirely true.
30:27Why would you say that?
30:28Because we were just saying how you used your position at the WSB to clean up the situation in L.A.
30:34And then you flew me home on the company jet.
30:37Well, that wasn't a big deal. I was heading back to Port Charles anyway.
30:40That's not the only thing.
30:42You ordered a drone strike in Africa because I was worried about Jason and Lucky's safety.
30:46That is a big thing.
30:48Aren't you worried you're gonna get in trouble at the bureau?
30:52I have not done anything that I couldn't justify to my superiors.
30:55Don't they want you doing your actual work, though?
31:00Multitasking is the hallmark of a good agent.
31:03Besides, I'm doing everything that needs to get done.
31:07Anyway, I have dedicated my entire life to the bureau.
31:13At this point, I have earned the right to take a few things for myself.
31:18Am I one of those things?
31:21You're not a thing.
31:23You, Carly Spencer, are everything.
31:30Am I really that important to you?
31:33If you don't know that by now, then I'm really doing this wrong.
31:38Carly, I am so glad you're here. I really need to talk to you.
31:42I'm here, but I'm not alone.
31:45Yes, I know. Hi.
31:46Hi.
31:48Are you okay?
31:50Yes, but I need to talk to you.
31:53You're private.
31:56Yeah, Drew, it's me.
31:58I spoke to Curtis, and I think I was able to make some inroads.
32:02I think you're gonna get what you want.
32:08Hey.
32:09Is everything all right? It sounded urgent when you called.
32:12Hey. Um, it is.
32:15I needed someone I could trust to talk to.
32:18Okay. Well, I'm here. What's going on?
32:21I think my wife is lying to me.
32:22Okay.
32:32Professor Dalton, I just wanted to...
32:34Jocelyn?
32:36What are you doing here?
32:38I, um...
32:41I work here.
32:44I'm so glad you're here.
32:46Well, I came as soon as I got your text. What did you need to see me about?
32:49Well, you have had decades of criminal training, and I thought perhaps you could put your skills to good use for once for our family.
33:00What do you need?
33:02My great-grandson.
33:05I need you to find him.
33:12Wow! That was amazing!
33:14That was a showstopper. I think this is gonna be the performance of the night.
33:17Oh, gosh.
33:19Uh, Anna, do you want to take a break? We could go see Sean, check out what things he has for you to wear.
33:24Oh, yes. Come on.
33:26Gio, we're, um, we're heading home. Do you want to ride?
33:29Uh, before you go...
33:31What's this?
33:33I would like to dance the tango with my wife.
33:36No, no, no, no, no. I don't...
33:37Oh, come on! It'll be fun. The tango is the dance of love.
33:40Yeah, but I don't know how to tango.
33:41Then it is a good thing that I do. Just follow my lead.
33:45Can you play that song again?
33:47It'd be my pleasure, sir.
33:49Can I have this dance?
33:51Okay, fine.
33:56Thanks for coming over here with me.
33:58Yeah.
33:59Well, I didn't really feel like I had much of a choice, but it sounded pretty serious, so here I am.
34:02It is.
34:03You know how you warned me about not blowing things up the way Robin did?
34:07Yes, and I was pretty clear about how I felt.
34:10You were very clear.
34:11But there is a difference between keeping a secret and perpetuating a lie, and right now someone is lying.
34:17Either Lois or Brooklyn or maybe both, which is why I need to find Dante's son.
34:23Thanks for coming by, Laura. Um, there's a few things that I would like to discuss with you.
34:29Oh, okay. Well, uh, first and most importantly, are you okay?
34:35Uh, yeah, I'm doing great. I had my heart surgery.
34:39And?
34:40The doctor says I'm making a full recovery.
34:42Oh, my gosh.
34:44Oh, I'm so glad to hear you say that. I...
34:48I'm so happy. I was worried.
34:52And, uh, the next piece of information is gonna ease your mind even more.
34:57And what would that be?
35:00Sidwell wants to buy my peers.
35:03I haven't checked it out, but I'm-I'm considering it.
35:07Is it okay for me to say that it really surprises me to hear you say that?
35:12Yeah, yeah. I mean...
35:14But you know what?
35:16It would solve my problems, and it would solve your problems.
35:21are you think that your community I Matthew for lazım?
35:23I mean, I'm gonna solve it.
35:24And I then not think so.
35:25That's the next piece of information used for all of us who you are.
35:28Um, I can talk to on August.
35:30I think I can think we can let them problem.
35:31Theelp setting makes sense more, which you can describe it.
35:33No problem with a way.
35:34I don't believe that it's become a ajout to believe in your future.
35:37Personally, we can do it, and you have to rebuild us a mountain.
35:39They don't break the 수 at sleep.
35:40Or prevent us from it or not buying into a mountain.
35:44But don't Kell dragons, especially when you look.
35:45Learning into複美, or the prices are what we realize here?
35:46What will happen is the music that makes you try formations?
