00:00Where's our number?
00:01Uh, yes.
00:02We happily, but we're just the backup.
00:04Where's our fearless leader?
00:08What do you mean you work here?
00:10I'm Professor Dalton's summer research assistant.
00:13You.
00:16I can't believe it!
00:18You stole my job!
00:21Yes, Drew.
00:22I'm sure I got through to Curtis.
00:25Well, it's gonna have to wait, because blackmail or no blackmail,
00:28I can't be at your beck and call 24-7.
00:30I have a hospital that I need to run.
00:35What is it?
00:38Hi, Mom. Bad time?
00:42You think Horsha's lying to you?
00:44About what?
00:46I've noticed that whenever she talks about...
00:48You know what? Stop.
00:50Given our history, I think you'd be better off confiding in someone else about your wife.
00:56You can't sell your property to Jen Sidwell, Sonny. You just can't do that.
01:00I'm still considering the options, but selling could solve both our problems.
01:05No, he's a horrible man.
01:07You know, he held my son captive. He practically killed him.
01:11You can't give this man what he wants.
01:14You know, Laura, sometimes you gotta...
01:17You can't look at this like a mother. You have to see the bigger picture.
01:23What does that mean?
01:24Well, I don't trust Sidwell either.
01:27But sometimes it's worth making a deal with the devil.
01:30You haven't listened to a word I said.
01:33Of course I did.
01:34Really?
01:35Then why have you gone from wanting to tell Dante about the son he never knew he had to tracking the kid down?
01:41It's really important that I find out who he is.
01:43Why?
01:44He's not your child.
01:46He's Brooklyn and Dante's child.
01:48Hell, he's somebody else's child for that matter.
01:50He has another family, Lulu.
01:52But Carly, you don't understand he...
01:54No, no, you don't understand.
01:55I know you think you're doing the right thing by reuniting Dante with his son.
01:59But I'm telling you, if you do this, you're making a huge mistake.
02:06Since when do you have a great-grandson?
02:10Um...
02:11I'll get to that.
02:12First, I need to know that this conversation will stay between us.
02:15You can't give this information to anybody, including Sonny.
02:20Well, I can't promise anything until you tell me exactly what's going on.
02:25I feel like I can trust anybody with this.
02:31Which is what?
02:37When Brooklyn was a teenager, she got pregnant and had a baby boy that she gave up for adoption.
02:46I need you to find him.
02:50You didn't steal anything.
02:52All right?
02:53I earned this position fair and square.
02:56Just stop.
02:57Okay, last night, I told you how important this job was to me,
03:00and you didn't say a damn word about applying for it, too.
03:02I didn't think I had to. I figured you'd get it.
03:05Well, you still should have told me.
03:08Especially after I opened up to you about how important it was to me.
03:13Did you tell him what I told you?
03:15Hmm?
03:16Is that how you got the job?
03:17Absolutely not. No, I would never say anything to him.
03:21Maybe you did, maybe you didn't.
03:22I don't really care, because either way, you stabbed me in the back.
03:27Felicia is right.
03:28It's going to be very hard to rehearse without the main attraction.
03:32Okay, well, I mean, I could fill in for her until she gets here.
03:36Oh, that's a good idea.
03:37At least we can go through what we'll be doing.
03:39Yeah, that's good.
03:40Good idea, fine, thank you.
03:41Okay, guys, guys, guys, listen.
03:43I really want this number to be a showstopper,
03:45and I want people to talk about it forever and remember it.
03:48So guess what?
03:49We really have to bring it.
03:52Oh, your passion is our passion, Lucy.
03:54Yes.
03:56Okay, let's get started.
03:58Okay. Positions?
03:59All right, yeah, yeah.
04:01Here? Yeah, I was here.
04:02You're there.
04:03I'm here.
04:04Are you ready?
04:05Yeah.
04:06Yeah.
04:07Oh, hi.
04:08Gents.
04:09Um, excuse me.
04:11So, um, I'm surprised to see I didn't expect you'd be stopping by.
04:15Well, since I'm underwriting this whole production,
04:17I thought I'd make sure everything's running perfectly.
04:21But please, don't stop rehearsal on my account.
04:26When I get pregnant that young, I had to be hard on Brooklyn.
04:30And then having to decide to give up her child, that's just, it's...
04:33It was terrible.
04:34And it was made worse by keeping it secret all these years.
04:38So nobody else knew?
04:40Well, Lois knew.
04:41Brooklyn went to her mother for help.
04:43Well, I'm glad she had her mother.
04:44She probably needed her.
04:46Yeah, but Lois never told any of us.
04:50Not even Ned, Brooklyn's own father.
04:52Yeah, but I'm sure Brooklyn asked her to keep it between them.
04:55She did.
04:56But Lois told her mother, Gloria, and the two nitwits arranged for the closed adoption of the baby boy.
05:05And Brooklyn wants you to find her son?
05:10Because if she does, I should be having this conversation with her.
05:13Sidwell's willing to pay a lot of money for my waterfront property.
05:20I'm sure he is.
05:21And I stand to benefit, and so do you.
05:24Have a seat.
05:27Sidwell takes my property, measures C, becomes a non-issue.
05:30You're free of me, and as far as your term, it's all clear.
05:36I don't want to be free of you, Sonny.
05:38You're family to me.
05:39I mean politically, because we both know that politically I'm a burden to you.
05:45One I am more than willing to carry, and I am strong enough and tough enough to do it.
05:51No doubt.
05:52I don't want Sidwell to be able to build a power base here in Port Charles.
05:56And frankly, I'm kind of surprised that you would allow him to.
05:59Even if it is for a big sum of money.
06:02It's not about the money, Laura.
06:05No, I guess it isn't.
06:08Well, if you are willing to sell your property, then that can really only mean one thing.
06:17You're planning your exit strategy.
06:21I'm not necessarily going to reunite Dante with his son.
06:24I just need to find out who he is first, and then I'll decide.
06:28Then you'll decide?
06:30I cannot believe I left Jack at the Metro Court so you could come here and play God with other people's lives and decide to tell me about it.
06:36This is great.
06:37That is not my intention.
06:38It is absolutely your intention to tell Dante, or else you wouldn't be looking to find ways to justify it.
06:43I am having a very hard time keeping the secret from Dante.
06:46Who?
06:47If you're having a hard time now, imagine how hard it's going to be when you find out who and where his son is.
06:51I'm pretty sure I already know.
06:54And I think he's right here in Port Charles.
06:57Dante doesn't know it, but he's been interacting with them without knowing they're related.
07:02Who do you think Dante's son is?
07:06It's Gio.
07:10Jordan, I respect your feelings, but you are the only one I can talk to about this.
07:14You know Portia better than anyone, and your background as an agent will come in handy.
07:19How so?
07:21Is Portia in trouble?
07:23I hope not.
07:25And I'm hoping that you can tell me that my suspicions are all wrong, and that I am completely misreading this entire situation.
07:32Okay, well you've always had good instincts, but...
07:35Alright.
07:36What's the situation?
07:38Portia has become a Drew apologist.
07:41Overnight.
07:43For the life of me, I cannot figure out why.
07:46Honey, I'm so sorry to snap at you.
07:47It's okay.
07:49It's just been a day.
07:50Well, I can come back later.
07:52No, no, no.
07:53I'm always happy to see you.
07:55So tell me what brings you by.
07:57Wait, wait.
07:58Let me guess.
07:59Kai?
08:01Yeah.
08:02I was visiting Kai, and then he had to go to physical therapy, so I thought maybe that I could hang out with you if you're okay with that.
08:08I would love that.
08:10Come sit.
08:12Tell me how Kai is feeling.
08:14Um, good.
08:15Although it's kind of hard to tell because he has a camera in his face at, like, all times.
08:20So he has to, like, put on a good front.
08:23Drew still has the documentary filmmaker following him around?
08:26And when the director guy asks me to make a comment on camera, all I want to say is how I really feel about Drew, and just hope that it gets into the documentary.
08:38But you can't, right? Because it would reflect badly on Kai. And Kai knows how you feel about Drew.
08:44Yeah, he pretty much gets the idea.
08:48Honey, it's not your job or mine to convince people of Drew's true nature.
08:54I just had a conversation with your father about this very same thing.
08:58Aurora was going to print an editorial about Drew, a negative one, and I talked him out of it.
09:05Why would you do that?
09:06You're right. I should have been more upfront with you about applying for the position, and I wasn't, and I apologize for that.
09:15But I did not stab you in the back.
09:18I mean, we all know that you used daddy's influence to get the job, so just say it.
09:22I mean, what, did you come to the interview with daddy's check in hand?
09:25Or did he send it in before and that's how you got the job?
09:27I get that you're upset, okay? But my father had nothing to do with this.
09:31I'm really sorry, Emma. Truly, I am. And if I find out that Professor Dalton is experimenting on animals or doing anything else unethical, then I will let the authorities know.
09:44Like I would ever believe a single word that comes out of your mouth.
09:48I mean, honestly, I was an idiot to trust you in the first place, and I actually thought that we bonded.
09:55We did.
09:57How can you say that?
09:58I was right about you all along.
10:02You are nothing but a spoiled, selfish, and untrustworthy bitch.
10:11You think Gio Palmieri is Dante's son.
10:15Why would you think that?
10:17Gio is the exact right age to be Brooklyn and Dante's child.
10:21Yeah, but Gio wasn't adopted.
10:23His mother was a Cerullo cousin, right?
10:25So it would make sense for Lois and Gloria to put Brooklyn's baby with someone they knew and trusted.
10:31Oh, come on, Lulu.
10:33And when Camilla died, who took in Gio?
10:36Gloria and Carmine.
10:38With Lois' help.
10:42I don't know.
10:43This is a huge leap, Lulu.
10:46Not if you'd seen what I did last night.
10:51Given everything that's happened recently, I thought it was time for me to step back from the business and just concentrate solely on my family.
10:59I'm really glad to hear you say that, Sonny.
11:03But do guys in your line of work get to retire?
11:08I mean, there's not going to be a gold watch and a warm send-off, right?
11:12Well, it's going to be tricky.
11:14I'm not leaving Port Charles, so I'm going to have a target on my back.
11:18So you won't go to your home in Puerto Rico?
11:20My family's here. I'm not leaving, so I'm going to have to have some security, right?
11:27Yeah.
11:28But I just think it's time for me to have a fresh start.
11:32I don't want to be the one to begrudge you that fresh start.
11:37But I do have to think about what your retirement would mean to the city of Port Charles.
11:43Especially if you're going to hand over your territory to Jen Sidwell.
11:47Well, he claims to be legit.
11:48You don't believe that any more than I do.
11:53Well, let's just say this.
11:55If Sidwell plans to come here and do illegal stuff, you're going to keep an eye on him, you and the PCPD, like you have me for years.
12:04Plus, you got the WSB here.
12:06Who don't have your influence.
12:08If I sell to Sidwell, the transition's going to be peaceful from one power to another power.
12:17And it's going to prevent wars.
12:21But the problem is you're selling to a very dangerous man, Sonny.
12:25I mean, I'll be honest with you, I'm really concerned about what Sidwell is planning to do here in Port Charles.
12:30Sit right here.
12:32Right here.
12:33Right here.
12:34Make yourself comfortable, please.
12:35And we are going to show you what we've been working on.
12:38Lovely.
12:39Okay, shall we?
12:40Great.
12:41Okay.
12:43I'm sorry, but is Jio still here?
12:45Well, uh, no.
12:46He left sweetheart.
12:47Damn it.
12:48Are you alright?
12:49Uh, can we take five?
12:50I need to just talk to my granddaughter.
12:52Oh, right, but we were just going to...
12:53I know, I know.
12:54Just come.
12:55Let it go.
12:56Take your time.
12:57Hi.
12:58Ahem.
12:59Um, hey.
13:00Sorry about that.
13:01Not to worry.
13:02Um, listen, everything will run like clockwork at showtime.
13:06In the meantime, um, I just would really like to thank you for underwriting the entire nurses' ball.
13:14It is for such a good cause, and, um, you were just wonderful for being so generous.
13:19Well, it wasn't a completely selfless act.
13:23I must admit to having an ulterior motive.
13:44Audience.
14:03Um.
14:08are you saying that portia is suddenly defending drew yes for instance today i told her i was
14:25running an editorial pointing out that there's still no evidence supporting drew's claim that
14:30he was drugged and didn't use ketamine recreationally that would have been a bold move
14:34well it also would have been the truth but then portia comes in with a song and dance telling me
14:39that it would make me look biased and that i'd be asking for trouble if i used aurora media to attack
14:45drew well you and drew do have a tit-for-tat dynamic maybe portia was just looking out for you
14:51that's all it was i'd agree with you but i've walked in on several of their private conversations
14:57once at her office and once at his house are you suggesting that there's something romantic going
15:03on between them no not at all i'm simply saying that something feels off like when portia was
15:12lying to me about trina and i'm worried about history repeating itself i'm here on brooklyn's behalf
15:19she doesn't know you're trying to find her son does she no that you can't you can't go searching
15:26for her kid without her knowledge and permission jason he's my flesh and blood too i have a great
15:33grandson somewhere out there i have to know who he is and then what what if he doesn't even know he's
15:39adopted i don't have all the answers right you don't have any answers tracy i mean isn't it up to
15:48the kid to decide whether he looks for his biological parents or not what if he can't what if he tried and
15:52failed what if he's in trouble and he needs our help i don't know what kind of life gloria and
15:57lois condemned him to i'm sure they found him a good home oh well you have more faith in their
16:03judgment than i do if they cared about that boy they should have made sure he was raised a quartermate
16:10that's as much a curse as it is a blessing
16:13i'm not talking about privilege i'm talking about family don't you think that boy deserved
16:24to know edward and to know his family's legacy it doesn't matter what i think this is none of my
16:31business i'm not getting involved what happened last night that convinced you that geo is brooklyn's
16:39son after you left the hospital dante ripped into geo about rocco the drinking the party all of it
16:51it got really heated and then lois intervened okay but that's lois she meddles all the time no no it
16:58was more than that it was over the top protective she yelled you don't know what you're saying and
17:05you don't know who he really is okay that's weird what'd she mean by that she tried to cover by saying
17:13geo's a good kid but i think it was a slip of the tongue well it could go either way and then after
17:22dante said that lois and gloria never let geo stand on his o2 feet that they were always there
17:28covering for him protecting him all of it so they overcompensated you know i mean geo is an orphan
17:33or lois's grandson do you really think they would do that to brooklyn raise her kid without
17:39telling her maybe they did tell brooklyn although she did seem genuinely stunned when i told her she
17:47had a son but but brooklyn is a good liar and i don't trust her so i'm 50 50 on her knowing okay
17:55that's not helpful in this situation i know but think about it my theory makes sense geo is probably
18:03brooklyn and dante's son and if he is i have to tell dante i don't understand why professor dalton
18:11would choose jocelyn over me she's a bright girl emma but she started the class late okay there's no
18:17way that she had time to put together a data model that was as good as mine and you know dalton said
18:21that mine was corrupted how do you think that happened i don't know i did drop it into the sand at the
18:27beach last night and i freaked out when it was missing and jocelyn was great and
18:32oh my god what jocelyn sabotaged me
18:51hot you scared me i thought you were dalton nope i watched him get in his car and drive away what are
18:59you doing here i thought you could use a little help from the maintenance department well i already
19:06scanned but whatever doesn't hurt to do it again all clear so you snagged the research assistant job
19:17good for you thank you emma's very upset not our concern let's get to work
19:29you keep saying that dante needs to know the truth about his son have you thought about the son
19:36and what he needs because if you're right and it is geo you have to consider how profoundly you would
19:43turn his life upside down but geo lost both of his parents if i'm right i would be giving him a family
19:51yeah and destroying the memory of the one he had geo will learn that everyone he's ever loved has lied to
19:59him including his mother his entire life that would be devastating for him maybe at first but wouldn't it
20:08be better for geo to know the truth rather than keep living a lie and here we are back to you playing god
20:15and deciding what's best for everyone even if you're right you have to let this go it's not your secret to
20:21tell jason wait please just hear me out oh thank you okay so
20:36i figured you were gonna have some objections in exchange for your
20:46services i am prepared to do something that might benefit your friend sonny
20:51what's that if you find brooklyn's child
20:55i am prepared to withdraw my support for the anti-sunny campaign and to
21:06advocate for him to keep his waterfront property you have been going after sonny for years
21:14and now you're just willing to give it all up for my great-grandson
21:18yes that's how much this means to me why not just get a pi because i trust you
21:27to do whatever it takes to find him even if it means breaking a few laws and i want to keep this
21:36in the family jason he's a quarter main he deserves to know that
21:41what ulterior motive could you possibly have well when you first approached me about the nurses ball
21:51you pointed out that by donating i might change people's perception about me and um
21:59maybe make a mark in this town and guess what you're right say more people have been so much more
22:10welcoming you've been a fantastic ambassador and i can't thank you enough well you're welcome
22:20i have to admit something though um at the beginning i uh had some misgivings about you but but when i saw
22:28how much you care about your son how much you love him and how wonderful you have been and generous
22:35giving toward the nurses ball i just realized what an amazingly special wonderful person you are
22:40and i think it's my mission to let everybody in port charles know that too oh thank you
22:49sonny you know as well as i do that your presence here in port charles has for the most part kept the
22:57peace among the local crime bosses i don't think jen sidwell gives a damn about that i think that he's
23:07going to usher in a whole new level of crime and violence in this city i can't predict the future
23:14any more than you can laura we both have our reservations about sidwell but we don't know
23:22for sure we can make a pretty good guess all right let's say you're right okay yeah is it my
23:31responsibility to put him in check make sure he doesn't get out of line or is that up to you
23:41right this hasn't been fair of me has it it's not fair of me to ask you to put
23:48the city of port charles ahead of your own family and yourself okay sonny if you think
23:56it's time for you to walk away
24:01i fully support you in that
24:06i asked your dad not to print the editorial because i didn't want him or aurora open to a libel suit
24:13what if drew proves that he was drugged curtis would be on record casting doubt on the victim
24:21i mean yeah i see your point how did dad take it he saw my point too he called off the editorial
24:30i wasn't in favor of kai's surgery but it worked out
24:33so maybe just maybe we should back off of drew just a little bit i mean him pushing kai to have
24:41that surgery it might have been the right thing to do all along yes kai does seem happy like honey
24:47there you go i would just love for our family to find some sort of middle ground with drew
24:55one that doesn't involve an open conflict between him and curtis are you saying you want dad to make
25:03peace with drew what do you think portion drew's conversations are about i have no idea she talks
25:12about hating drew i believe her and then she takes a gentler kinder approach to things and there's
25:20just no conviction behind it i feel like she takes that position because she has to you think drew is
25:26forcing her to do it which means that he has some leverage on her and i hate thinking about what that
25:31that could mean
26:02i know this is a disappointment that you didn't see coming but i think maybe you're being a little
26:06paranoid no i'm positive that jocelyn did something to my data model and i bet you she stole my work
26:11and passed it off as her own i have to tell professor dalton oh emma no no no you cannot make an
26:17accusation like this without proof that will not go down well at all i'm not just gonna let her get away
26:22with it okay she purposely went after my job even after i explained to her why it was so important to me
26:27why is it so important to you because dalton is doing groundbreaking research and i need to be a
26:32part of it as upsetting as this is a decision has been made and there will be other summer jobs but
26:38this is the job and i know that you are very disappointed and i am genuinely sorry about it
26:44but i do feel that you should let this go
26:48how well it looks like lucy has gotten over her reservations about jen's she is forgiving
26:58how about you okay well his zinkite has made deception a lot of money but i'm worried our
27:05association with him will come back to haunt us as long as you keep your eyes wide open you should be
27:11fine yeah well i am sorry to say that i have to get going i was hoping to get a sneak peek of
27:21your act but i guess just have to wait for it to be a big surprise oh it will be and i promise you
27:27it will be worth the wait
27:29i just want to be sure that uh that my political future will not factor into any of your decision
27:41making about any of this because you and your family you deserve to be secure and and happy and
27:48that should be the only thing guiding your thoughts i'm not sure if that means keeping the status quo or
27:54walking away there's risk in both but you are a very smart man you will make the right decision i
28:02know you will and whatever you decide i just want you to know that you will always have my love and
28:11respect thank you i appreciate that a lot i mean you coming over here listen to me talking the whole
28:19thing but i'm not sure what i'm gonna do but i'll let you know tracy i i feel for for you i mean it's
28:30got to be it's got to be tough to know that you have a great grandson out there somewhere so help me
28:35find it i can't i mean brooklyn she made a decision for her baby and for herself and i gotta respect that
28:45but if she changes her mind she wants my help she can come to me but like i need to hear this directly
28:50from her fine then i will just have to find him through other means and i trust you to keep this to
29:02yourself i will also you know that you have
29:08you have sealed sunny's fate i was willing to back off but now
29:20i'm not gonna stop until i run that man out of port charles for good
29:24this secret affects a lot of people i love and not just dante and rocco geo would be tracy's great
29:39grandson sunny would be his grandfather knowing that could be true that's something you can keep
29:46from him yeah i'd feel bad about it but yes now that i think about it
29:53sunny's being and geo's life all these years only proves that i might be right
30:00hold on you think sunny knows no but i do think lois went to him for help with geo's education
30:07not because sunny had money but because she knew he was geo's grandfather
30:14okay if you're right this is one huge mess if i'm wrong and geo is not dante's son i will drop it and
30:21i'll stop searching for the kid and if he is i have to tell dante you better be right you need to have
30:30proof that geo is dante's son or at the very least proof that geo is not camilla's son because if you
30:36don't this is gonna blow up in your face i don't know about peace but i'd settle for coexisting in other
30:45words you don't want dad making any trouble for drew let drew do his thing and we do ours i think you're
30:55gonna have a tough time selling that to dad maybe not because i made my pitch and it seemed like he
31:00was listening this is the part where you tell me i'm overreacting you have good instincts Curtis you
31:07always have and i never bet against them but i think the obvious answer here is talk to Portia
31:15it's easier said than done yeah but it's better than wondering and being suspicious
31:21but a word of caution from someone who once kept things from you
31:25go on once i told the first lie it was hard not to keep digging myself in deeper
31:31i wanted to complain plenty of times but there just didn't seem to be a way out
31:36maybe Portia is falling into the same trap so you're saying i should try to hear her out yeah
31:44i hear what you're saying i'll try i just pray that i'm wrong about all of this
32:01okay i think i have everything okay all of the bureau run an analysis but we probably didn't find
32:07anything of value here i don't think dalton would leave anything incriminating lying around
32:11it's too accessible well i did sign an nda which had very strict language about working in the lab
32:17right because what we're after isn't in his office it's in his lab
32:23i'm already looking for the evidence i need
32:26i even spoke with ned earlier today you didn't tell him about your suspicion did you no of course
32:31not he doesn't know that brooklyn had a child i was just fishing for info what kind of info
32:36like where lois and brooklyn were around the time when geo was born what do you say mother and
32:43daughter were on a tour with miguel morez brooklyn claims she gave birth in san francisco but i am
32:49wondering if the tour had a stop in la where geo was born okay well that's a good start but you can't
32:57san francisco but i am wondering if the tour had a stop in la where geo was born okay well that's a good
33:04start but you can't whisper a word about your theory to anyone until you can back it all up i know
33:11i need proof and i know just where to find it oh i am i'm glad i ran into you i uh wanted to let
33:20you know that i'm doubling down on my efforts to rid poor charles of sunny carinthos well i'm glad to
33:26hear it's um just as determined myself good we'll talk later i'm late for rehearsal oh all right ladies

34:42it's solved all our problems and she didn't like it she understood and accepted it
34:51well tracy uh just offered an alternative
34:55what she said she would cut off all of her support for measure c if i did her a personal
35:03favor and i don't even want to go into it because it wasn't something i was comfortable with so i
35:08turned her down we we don't need to be making deals with with tracy court yeah but that still leaves us
35:14in a bind well you know what spending time with laura
35:18so i got clear on a few things and one thing that she said was you need to take care of your family
