00:00All I've ever hoped for is that wherever you are, whoever you're with, that you're happy,
00:12healthy, safe, and so loved.
00:19So make today really special, okay?
00:25Brooklyn?
00:28What?
00:31Today's my son's birthday.
00:46Cheeto!
00:47Donna, wait!
00:48The kids.
00:49Where they get the energy, I'll never know.
00:51Right?
00:52I was hoping I'd get to see you today.
00:54No, you weren't.
00:55I crossed my heart.
00:56Will you play my song?
00:59Pretty please?
01:00Is that with a cherry on top?
01:02Mm-hmm.
01:03In that case, I'd be honored.
01:08All right.
01:16Yes, hi.
01:17I'm trying to track down information on a Catholic adoption agency based in Brooklyn.
01:24I do.
01:26St. Ignatius?
01:31Yes, you can reach me at this number.
01:34Thank you so much.
01:35I look forward to hearing from you.
01:38Cody, what's up?
01:39You want to join me?
01:41Are you still doing research on your adoption story?
01:44Because Tracy told me that you walked away from that.
01:49I was on my way to work, and I saw there was an accident.
01:53And I didn't know whose car it was.
01:55But then Molly got the call about her dad.
01:58And so I put it together that it must have been Rick's car.
02:02That's crazy that you just happened to be driving by.
02:04Crazy.
02:06But it was so bad, I didn't think anyone was going to survive that.
02:11Yes.
02:13Can I trust you to take care of things?
02:16Do it. I'll see you tomorrow.
02:19Excuse me?
02:21Why are you always compelled to ask questions that you already know the answers to?
02:28I remember when you used to be fun.
02:30August 1990 and ever.
02:33Where are you off to in such a hurry?
02:37Is this what Rick said? That the insurance company took his car?
02:41Yes.
02:42Like he was going on.
02:44The thing was totaled.
02:46So why do you care so much about what happened to Rick's car?
02:50To be continued...
03:20Hey, what are you doing here? Anyway, the kids are rehearsing their
03:24Nurses ball number down the hall. Oh, that number's gonna be so cute. And yeah, she heard
03:31Geo playing the violin and there's no stopping her not a chance. Oh, well remind me to thank you kid
03:38Because it's been a minute since I've seen you
03:41Yeah, you good
03:44Hanging in there you daddy was sick, but he's all better now
03:50Is that so?
03:51Yeah, Donna's right. I'm fine
03:54It's good to hear
03:56Donna do you like Sleeping Beauty? Do I like her? She's my favorite princess and you should definitely know this one
04:03I
04:17Think about my son Chase, especially now that we're starting a family I get that
04:23It's just had this whole life that I've completely missed
04:29Blowing out
04:30Candles and making wishes and it was like this abstract thing before but now it's like this
04:37Pivot gaping hold I sound like I'm crazy. No, I feel a little crazy
04:44For over 20 years you have been trying to bury this secret Brooklyn
04:5022
04:52He's older than I was when I had him, can you believe that
04:56And now after all this time it's being dug up so, of course you're thinking about him, why wouldn't you be
05:02Dream about him all the time now
05:05What do you dream?
05:07But he come find me
05:15Anything to meet my son
05:18Good news travels fast. I did give up on the adoption article then. What was that phone call?
05:25I'll just
05:26Tying up some loose ends, right?
05:30look
05:32Little you and Brooklyn, I know have stuff and knowing the two of you you probably always will
05:40But Brooklyn was really hurt about that article or the prospect of you writing it at least
05:46Brooklyn told you this Tracy did
05:49Brooklyn found it super invasive and insensitive given that her and chase are starting the adoption process right now
05:57I'm not
05:59Was when I had him can you believe that
06:02And now after all this time it's being dug up. So of course you're thinking about him. Why wouldn't you be?
06:09Dream about him all the time now
06:11What do you dream?
06:14But he come find me
06:17I
06:20Would give anything to meet my son
06:24Good news travels fast. I did give up on the adoption article
06:29Then what was that phone call? Oh, just tying up some loose ends, right?
06:39Little you and Brooklyn, I know have stuff and knowing the two of you you probably always will
06:46But Brooklyn was really hurt about that article or the prospect of you writing it at least
06:52Brooklyn told you this Tracy did
06:55Brooklyn found it super invasive and insensitive given that her and chase are starting the adoption process right now
07:03I'm not looking into them. Then. Why are you going around asking about adoption agencies?
07:10Can you just leave it alone Cody no Lulu I keep catching you in these lies and you keep explaining them away with half-truths
07:18I need the whole story and you'll get it when
07:23Soon, I just I just need a little more time. Can you give me that as my friend?
07:28No, no Brooklyn and chase are my friends too
07:32You're digging around in their personal business. It's not cool Lulu
07:40Okay, fine
07:41Fine what I'll tell you what I'm really doing
07:45Okay, the whole truth and nothing but the truth would be
07:49really refreshing
07:53I'm looking in to an adoption agency, but one from back in the day
08:00When Brooklyn was in high school, I'm not following what?
08:04I
08:07Brooklyn gave birth to Dante's baby a boy
08:13And then she gave him up
08:16I'm just surprised. That's all I mean, I assumed
08:20Rick would be suing half of poor Charles by now, right? I thought so too
08:25Just never expected him to let an insurance company handle it
08:29But I mean, it's good news for you you won't be dragged into a bunch of lawsuits
08:34That's the last thing I need. I thought you were gonna say something was wrong. Oh
08:41I'll get it
08:42And one of these days you're gonna have to let me get it
08:44Well, that thing is not today and maybe when you're moving faster than a snail you can take a shot at it
08:52Those before not for you
08:54Oh
08:56Don't tell me you came all this way to bring me flowers. Oh, well, they're certainly not for this savage. Oh
09:02Beautiful. Thank you. I was hoping you could catch off
09:05We barely got a chance to scratch the surface when you're at GH for your doctor's appointment
09:12But if now is a bad time I can come back no, no, no, it's it's a perfect time Elizabeth's bored
09:19Reminds and I actually have to head out. So you do. Yeah, just have a quick errands. I won't take long
09:32Will you put this in water for me? I am so sorry
09:39Well, clearly I interrupted something I am hoping I just have these sexy variety
09:50The office is closed
09:53Yeah, here you are
09:54I'm on my way out. Well, you can just give your ex-husband a couple minutes
09:58Can't you we may need to adjust your investment schedule with the dolos fun?
10:04Yeah
10:06Sure, let's discuss
10:08In fact, I'm gonna offer you something that you've never offered me a way out
10:14Of what a financial windfall
10:18With all your meticulous planning
10:20This is still embezzlement and the more we embezzle the more likely we are to get caught and if we get caught we go to
10:27prison for a long time
10:30You and I have made a pretty penny already. So get out now and I'll let bygones be bygones
10:37That's a very generous offer
10:40Yeah, because I don't want to see our daughter get hurt
10:44And she will be very hurt if she knows that her father blackmailed her mother. Maybe I won't care if Molly hits her
10:51Do you of course?
10:54But you caring is what really matters. Do you think I would be doing this if I didn't care about mom?
11:03You know, even if I did consider your proposal what makes you think that
11:07You leave
11:12Maybe I know you're in this together then you're gonna go down together
11:16That's right. Okay, don't come crying to me when she drags you to hell
11:22out
11:25Now now Rick
11:31Really should discuss what I came here to tell you when I leave we all leave
11:37I
11:43Well
11:44You interrupt anything
11:46Rick came by earlier to show off his new car and I was telling lucky all about it
11:52but oh
11:55But what?
11:57That Rick's car was very sexy
12:01You know
12:03You are much crueler than someone with the face like that should be
12:07So I didn't interrupt any big romantic moment
12:11Not unless talk of insurance claims and deductibles puts you in the mood. Sorry to disappoint
12:19Well upside give it to me
12:23What you're describing?
12:25Sounds very domestic
12:27Well, again, I are essentially living together again
12:31So we can't all be insurance deductibles, can I the temperature has to be rising between you two
12:41And it's incredible and at the same time
12:47Utterly terrifying
12:49Hey, it's okay to change your mind. If you want to find your son we can do that
12:54No, we we need to let him be. Are you sure?
12:57I'm just telling you how I feel because I know you'll understand
13:01It doesn't matter how badly I want to find him
13:05or
13:06How over the last few weeks I lay in bed at night wondering where he is
13:13It's probably a good thing that st. Ignatius closed I'd be tempted to press them for more information about the adoption
13:20Well, if you're worried about the fallout, whatever it may be
13:23We'll get through it together. I know
13:26But it's not about that truly
13:30Not that people wouldn't get hurt which they would very very hurt
13:34Especially Dante if my son really wanted to find me I would face any consequences that came my way
13:41But he has to be the one to blow this open chase
13:44My son has to want to find his birth mother
13:48Maybe someday he will maybe
13:52He not you know
13:55He's not curious if his life is whole then maybe I should be grateful, right?
14:03See that right there that is what makes you such a good mom
14:08You put your son's needs before your own seems like the least I can do. No, I'm serious. That is huge
14:15And I can't wait to see you in action with our baby
14:20You are going to be a wonderful mom
14:26I have to go to rehearsal go
14:43I love you so much from the deepest part of me that sometimes it scares me
14:51Thank you for being the best husband on the planet
14:55Well, it's hard work, but someone's got to do it. I'll see you later. You can count on it
15:07Oh, and I love you, too
15:14I always just assumed that Brooklyn didn't have the baby
15:18Why well cuz I mean she never mentioned it or even made reference to it ever at all
15:25I just thought that after I put her on that bus she went home to Bensonhurst and
15:31Terminated the pregnancy well, she didn't and you're positive. Yes, as in you have proof I
15:41Broke into Martin Grey's hotel room as one does because I thought he had information about Valentine's whereabouts and
15:49Valentine was with Charlotte who you're looking for
15:52Exactly, but when I got into Martin's room, I didn't find anything about Valentine or Charlotte
15:58But I did find Martin's notes about Brooklyn putting our baby up for adoption
16:02notes
16:03Yeah, I think he met with Lois who told him everything and Dante was listed as the father
16:11Maybe you misread them. I didn't
16:14No, it was so long ago things get misconstrued over time. I just can't I know I got it, right I
16:23Confronted Brooklyn about it
16:25And she confirmed it
16:28Everything Martin wrote down
16:33Hey, how was school fun
16:37I have curiosity. Do you ever get a different answer than fun? So it's fine
16:44I'm glad I got to see you before I took off. Where you go. I am going to watch Donna's nurses ball rehearsal
16:51Oh, well, yeah, what are you doing here? You got important places, but I know so I've been told repeatedly
16:58Thank you for the talk anytime
17:01You
17:03I'm so glad you're okay. Thanks. I'm Christina
17:09Make good choices boys. Oh, yeah, we will
17:13See ya
17:17Now that everything's settled down a little bit I want you to tell me everything that happened at that beach party
17:34Oh
17:35What'd you think I loved it. Can you play another one? Uh, you got rehearsal Jill's got rehearsal. We gotta go
17:45You know how you played at Dante's birthday party, yeah, she's just ignoring you senator jeans
17:51Can you play online?
17:53Of course, when's your birthday?
17:55September 30th, that's so long ways away. I know I just want to make sure nobody gets you to play at their party first
18:03She's a planner
18:05Yes, she always has been
18:08When's your birthday?
18:09June 4th
18:11Will you have a party? I'm not sure yet. But if I do you're definitely invited
18:17Okay. Okay. Can we continue this some other time?
18:20You got rehearsal
18:23Now
18:25Okay, daddy, thank you
18:33Thanks, thank you
18:54Hey Lois, I don't want to cramp your style
18:58It's a beautiful day and I didn't think anyone would be here
19:02You and your daughter are so alike
19:05Don't tell her that she'll lose her mind
19:08Well, you just missed her
19:09Well, yeah, Brooklyn was here. I think you're here for the same reason that she was
19:15It's your grandson's birthday
19:19I tried to get Brooklyn to tell Dante, but she shot me down
19:23She said it's better that he didn't know because it was a closed adoption
19:27How old would this kid be now?
19:312021-22
19:32And I of course
19:34Disagree with Brooklyn. I think that Dante deserves to know that he has a son out there
19:39I practically begged her to do the right thing and she refused not only that
19:44But she's sick to chase on me and he threatened to have me arrested for breaking into Martin's room
19:49If I said anything, I mean she says that she didn't send him. But come on. We all know that Brooklyn's a liar
19:56I just I never thought that she'd keep a secret this big from Dante. I mean, it's not like they're total strangers
20:03They've been friends for ever
20:06They help each other through tough times
20:08Believe me. I know
20:10Cody I tried I I
20:13Really did I tried to stay out of it, but I can't I know that Dante has a grown son out there
20:19And he doesn't know it. It's not right
20:22But look, I know
20:24That this is my problem and it's not yours and your friends with everyone involved. So just
20:30Go on and order your latte and your bran muffin and forget I said anything
20:35Okay, well first of all
20:39Bran muffins are disgusting
20:42And second second I
20:44I
20:47I've been lied to for most of my life
20:51About who I am and now you're telling me that Dante has a son and Brooklyn's keeping him from knowing him
20:57No, sorry, that's not happening
21:01I want to help I had fun at first
21:06And I got dizzy
21:09And after that, it's just fuzzy
21:11But
21:13Danny had nothing to do with it. I'm the one who decided to play that game
21:16Okay, but that's the whole point man
21:18Danny shouldn't have left you alone to begin with he shouldn't have to be my
21:21Babysitter and there's no way he could have known what I was gonna do. I didn't even know what I was gonna do
21:25Okay. All right, I get it. Okay, just
21:29Continue telling me what happened and trying not to defend Danny or Gio in the process make Gio that Gio didn't do anything wrong
21:37I thought you and the princess were at rehearsals. Apparently parents aren't welcome at rehearsals
21:46You know what I want to thank you for what you did earlier
21:49Playing the violin for Donna. She gets a kick out of gosh. Only all my audiences were that enthusiastic
21:57and I
21:58Met what I said about Donna's birthday party
22:01Tell me the date and I'm there
22:03Donna would love that
22:07You can't say I heard a
22:11Donna say you weren't feeling too. Well, yeah, you know, I had minor a surgical procedure
22:17Following the doctor's orders and
22:19I'm on the men as they say
22:22It's good. I
22:24Heard you had an eventful a couple of days
22:29Not me Rocco
22:33Thank God, he's all right. I know
22:36Especially since it was all my fault
22:39As you can see, this is signed by a judge giving me access to the premises as it pertains to an ongoing case
22:46Whatever you say
22:57Thank you
23:06I
23:37You
23:39You know, I have a paramedic friend who was on the scene he said it was like a miracle they survived yeah
23:46How did you see Rick's car
24:07You
24:13Every year on his birthday I
24:16Allow myself to remember or I forced myself to I'm not sure which
24:22It's probably a mixture of both. Mm-hmm
24:26So tough on her Brooklyn the birth I
24:32I mean going through labor and then having to give the baby up
24:39But I tried I tried to be there to support her and comfort her as best I could she said you were incredible
24:48She was incredible
24:50My kid has more strength in her eyelashes than most people do in their entire bodies and I was so proud of her
24:58I mean, I'm still so proud
25:01Well, she's lucky to have you by her side, huh?
25:06Where else would I have been? I
25:08Don't know
25:10Not sure every mother would have handled it the way that you did
25:13Well, I think I screwed a few things up along the way, right?
25:17But you got the most important part, right?
25:20You said it yourself
25:22Brooklyn made it through
25:24And yeah, she was scared
25:27But throughout the whole process
25:30And I know this for a fact because she she told me she said she felt safe and loved
25:35And that is because of you Lois
25:42You know, I just I want to ask you how could you be so
25:46Kind and supportive and then I remember I
25:52Met you dad
25:56I also just really love your daughter. Oh, and she really loves you too so much
26:04And what she's asking you what what we're both asking you
26:10It's gotta be brutal keeping this from Dante
26:15I didn't even see Jill at that party. I had no clue. He was there and I'm almost positive
26:19He didn't know I was there either. Do you remember him getting you to the quartermans? I
26:24I remember Danny came to look for me, but I could barely keep my eyes open
26:30Next thing I know Gio is there. I told him I didn't want to get in trouble because of London in the debate trip
26:36That's it
26:37Dad, please don't be mad at you or Danny be mad at me. I'm the one who drank to my okay
26:43Look, I get that you didn't want to get in trouble
26:46But Gio was the adult in that scenario. Okay, the last thing he should have been worried about was getting you in trouble
26:53He was being a friend I don't care. Okay, I don't care him seeing you in that state
26:58The first thing he should have done is called me period
27:03Him being so worried about not getting you in trouble almost got you killed he almost died. I'm sorry. Hell was Gio thinking
27:13When Danny showed me where Rocco was I should have called Dante or Lulu instead I snuck Rocco back to the bow house
27:20I thought you could drink a bunch of water and sleep it off because you thought he had too much to drink
27:26How would you know he had alcohol poison?
27:30He was in trouble and I missed it. You're a musician not a not a doctor. Anybody would have made that mistake
27:35Cody didn't and thank God for that
27:40You did the best you could with what you had at the time
27:45Dante doesn't see it that way though. He came down on you pretty hard
27:50You tell you that
27:53He mentioned that he was you know, he's afraid for his son so he
27:58Unloaded on the nearest target. I still wish I could go back and do it all over again
28:04Don't we all?
28:07Listen
