00:00But most of all, I want to thank the people of Port Charles for your unwavering support.
00:07I will be your voice in Congress. You can count on me.
00:12I'll pay you 50 bucks to turn that off.
00:23Hey, thanks very much.
00:24How are you? Remember you from the town hall meeting. Good to see you again.
00:28Well, Congressman, you did it.
00:32No, we did it.
00:38Ned, I thought you would be at Drew's victory bash.
00:44I snuck out while Stacey's back was turned.
00:47So where are you off to?
00:49The kitchen to grab one of Sasha's snickerdoodles.
00:53Likely story.
00:55Excuse me?
00:56Admit it, Ned, you're avoiding me like everyone else around here.
01:01What are you talking about?
01:03Something is going on in this house and you're not moving until you tell me what it is.
01:09Sasha, this came for you.
01:11All right, must be the cookbook I ordered.
01:16Wait, Sasha, don't.
01:20I'll open that.
01:22Thank you for coming on such short notice.
01:23I'm not going to keep you long.
01:24As soon as the papers are signed, I am heading to Drew's victory party.
01:28Looks like the best man won.
01:32What do I sign?
01:33Oh, perfect timing.
01:51Mom?
02:01Stupid question, but are you okay?
02:09I'm much better now.
02:12Good, because I have something to tell you.
02:16What?
02:17No, I'm fine.
02:18Uh, yesterday I just, I got in a minor car accident.
02:25Yesterday?
02:26Why didn't you tell me then?
02:28Well, I wasn't going to tell you at all.
02:48Well, you're on your way to Washington.
02:50Congratulations.
02:51Oh, thank you.
02:53I'll continue.
02:53Okay.
02:54All right.
02:54Um, thank you so much for your support.
02:56Oh my God, I'm so happy for you.
02:58I appreciate that.
02:59And now that Larry McConkie is gone, it's so good to have another honest man in Washington.
03:05And I'm just, um, I'm going to say it because I know you're thinking it.
03:10Sam would be really proud of Scout's dad.
03:12Good job, buddy.
03:19I thought you and, you and Drew were close.
03:22Yeah, we were.
03:24Until he started kissing my wife.
03:26What?
03:30Sorry, I shouldn't have blurted that out loud.
03:32It's okay.
03:35Are you and Willow having problems?
03:37I didn't think so.
03:40But a few days ago, I came into the living room and something was going on with
03:44Tracy and Ned and Drew and...
03:50Look, if you want to talk about it...
03:52No, I have to tell somebody or I'm going to explode.
03:54Okay.
03:55All right, go ahead.
03:58So Drew, he's about to tell me something and then Willow and Nina come rushing in
04:01and I can see that something is clearly wrong by the look on Willow's face.
04:07Then Drew says that he kissed Willow.
04:15What'd you do?
04:17I left and I came straight here and I ran into Sasha.
04:23It's good to see a friendly face.
04:27Yeah, well, we were, uh, upset, drinking and I made everything worse.
04:34How?
04:36I slept with Sasha.
04:39And now I think my marriage is over.
04:44Hey.
04:51Hi.
04:52Hey.
04:55How are you holding up?
04:57Drew won, so that's wonderful.
05:00I'm very pleased with the outcome tonight.
05:02Drew will make an excellent congressman.
05:04Yes.
05:06Far away in D.C.
05:10Congressman Corderline, congratulations on your victory.
05:13I appreciate that.
05:15Thanks for your support, Mr.
05:17Oh, you don't know each other.
05:18Drew, this is Jack Brennan.
05:21Oh, Port Charles's new WSB station chief.
05:24And your reputation precedes you.
05:26As does yours.
05:29Wow, what a night.
05:31You are in a good mood.
05:33Damn right I am.
05:35Our good friend just got elected to U.S. Congress.
05:38Oh, wow.
05:40Yeah.
05:41Cheers.
05:43Cheers.
05:45Now that Drew is on his way to D.C.,
05:48I'll no longer be the interim man in charge at Aurora.
05:53Drew's gonna make me permanent CEO.
05:55I think you mixed up the packages.
05:57That's mine.
05:58Is Brooklyn pregnant?
06:00No.
06:00Well, not yet.
06:01We're trying.
06:03How's it going, bro?
06:04You knew?
06:06Yeah.
06:07Please don't say anything to Brooklyn.
06:09Her family's putting enough pressure on her.
06:11I didn't tell anybody anything.
06:15Yeah.
06:17I'm so happy for you.
06:21You're not going anywhere till you tell me what happened.
06:25Lois, nothing happened.
06:27You're lying.
06:28Something happened in this living room the night before Halloween, and I missed it.
06:33Are you suggesting there was drama in this house?
06:37Yes, there was.
06:39And you know what the drama was.
06:41So spill it.
06:43Okay, yes.
06:44Something did happen.
06:48But I can't tell you what it is.
06:51Ma.
06:54Okay, fine.
06:56Brooklyn will tell me.
07:02What?
07:09Won't you?
07:11No.
07:25Now you can go to your party.
07:29Yeah, I'll just lock up when I leave.
07:33Okay.
07:33That's cool.
07:33Okay.
07:33Yeah, for sure.
07:34Have a nice chat, you two.
07:41Bye.
07:46How is Christina?
07:48Uh, yeah.
07:48She went to the doctor, and she's fine.
07:51Thank you for calling and letting me handle the situation.
07:54You know, I'm just glad no one was hurt.
07:57No, you know, she had...
07:58Christina admitted that she shouldn't have been driving the car.
08:01I get it.
08:04I've been there a few years ago.
08:05I got some really terrible news when I was driving,
08:08and I was crying so hard I could barely see the road.
08:11What happened?
08:12Thankfully, no one was hurt with my little behind-the-wheel meltdown, but...
08:18Well, I'm sorry you had to go through that.
08:22I'm sorry for a lot of things.
08:25Such as?
08:28I just...
08:29I wish I'd done better by my children.
08:33I love Willow.
08:34I do.
08:35I love our life.
08:37We keep lying to each other.
08:39Why do you think that is?
08:41I don't know.
08:42But for whatever reason, we just...
08:45We don't trust each other.
08:47Yeah, what do you want to happen?
08:48What I want to happen is I want things to work.
08:53With me and Willow, but...
08:56We both slept with other people, so...
08:58Wait, you just said Drew kissed Willow.
08:59Yeah, that's what they admitted to.
09:04But I found out that Willow and Drew are sleeping together.
09:12Hey, you.
09:12Hey!
09:14Congratulations.
09:14Oh, thank you, thank you.
09:16For what it's worth, I think you are doing an excellent job.
09:20I haven't done anything yet.
09:22You're being the confident man your constituents expect you to be.
09:26It's a tall order for someone dealing with a loss like yours.
09:29So you're saying I don't have a neon sign over my head
09:31saying that I just lost one of the people I love most in the world?
09:34No.
09:36I just have experience putting on a positive public persona,
09:39regardless of what's going on in my personal life.
09:45Hey, sorry I'm late.
09:46Oh, no worries.
09:47What's wrong?
09:48No, nothing's wrong, per se.
09:50I just have to leave soon to meet Jason.
09:52Oh, I'm glad you reached out to him.
09:54Lord knows he wouldn't ask for help on his own.
09:56Actually, he summoned me.
09:58Really?
09:59Was it to rope you into another caper?
10:01Not that that wouldn't be really good for you guys right now.
10:04You know, please remember saying that if indeed a caper is afoot.
10:08Or is he hit an emotional rock bottom?
10:10I'm guessing it's the caper, but how is he doing?
10:13Staying strong, as always.
10:15Although I'm sure the loss of Sam is weighing mightily on him.
10:19Yeah, on all of us.
10:21Especially for you, I'm sure.
10:22Thank you for acknowledging the loss of my partner in truth and crime.
10:27Without Sam, we might not have gotten together.
10:30I think I'm gonna owe her forever.
10:32So say we all.
10:33You know what?
10:34I need to talk to Nina.
10:36So you go see Jason and I will see you at home.
10:39Indeed you will.
10:44Hey!
10:45Hey!
10:46Great night, right?
10:47Yeah, definitely.
10:48So have you told Willow that you slept with Drew yet?
10:52What happened that's got everyone acting so funny?
10:55Brooklyn wasn't even there.
10:57But you know what it is, don't you?
10:59I...
11:00do.
11:03So?
11:05Tell me.
11:08I'm sorry, I can't.
11:09What?
11:11I'm your mother.
11:12I gave you life.
11:13Use it wisely.
11:14It's just, it's not my place to say.
11:18Why won't anyone tell me what's going on?
11:22Because you can't keep a secret.
11:26I'm sorry.
11:27You can't keep a secret.
11:32Don't worry.
11:33I won't tell Brooklyn.
11:34I know you're trying to get pregnant.
11:37We're putting so much pressure on ourselves
11:40ever since we decided to have a baby that it's...
11:43it's all I can think about.
11:44Hey, you're gonna be a great dad.
11:47And Brooklyn will be the coolest mom.
11:50Your kids are gonna be gorgeous.
11:52That's kind of you to say.
11:53Calling it as I see it.
11:58So how you doing?
11:59About what?
12:01Cody, my mother.
12:04You were kidnapped about five minutes ago.
12:06Let's start there.
12:08Well, my mother already left town.
12:11So hopefully she took all the danger and everything else with her.
12:18In case I haven't said so, I'm really sorry about Cody.
12:23It's funny, I um...
12:24I always wanted more family.
12:26Didn't want it to be the guy that I fell for.
12:28But uh, here we are.
12:31Well, look at the bright side.
12:32I mean, now you have a huge new family.
12:35Yeah.
12:36Felicia said something like that yesterday.
12:39Well, how do you feel about it?
12:44Being estranged from Allison has really opened my eyes.
12:47I thought I was really doing right by her.
12:49But then I saw you with Christina last night.
12:52And I just, it really makes me wonder.
12:54How do you mean?
12:56If I had gotten the call that it was Allie that was in the accident,
13:00I would have swept in.
13:01I would have taken charge.
13:03I would have, I would have, you know, focused on all of her minor injuries and everything.
13:07I wouldn't have seen the emotional pain my daughter was in.
13:10I don't think so.
13:11No, I do.
13:11I, I know so.
13:16It's, it's easier to come in and take care of burns and scratches and whatever.
13:21It's easier than getting your child to actually open up to you.
13:26I was driving and was blindsided by a wave of grief and had a minor fender bender.
13:35But no one was hurt and I slept at dad's.
13:40You told your dad?
13:42Yes, but I asked him not to call you.
13:44And he pointed out I should not keep anything from you.
13:48It's a good plan.
13:50Yeah, he was right.
13:51And so are you.
13:52That we really need each other now more than ever.
13:55Couldn't agree with anything more.
13:59And thank you for telling me the truth.
14:03How, how'd you get the footage?
14:05We, we got a new nanny, so I installed a nanny cam.
14:09Has Willow seen this?
14:10No, no, she doesn't even know I had the camera installed.
14:14I can't, I can't believe she'd cheat on me.
14:17You think it's a one-time thing?
14:19No.
14:21No, no, Willow's not capable of a one-night stand.
14:24It's not, it's not who she is.
14:26So what do you think is happening?
14:29Whatever it is, it's...
14:33What if Willow is in love with Drew?
14:43When, um, when Allison was little,
14:45she used to sing to herself constantly.
14:47So I immediately started making plans
14:50because I could see her at Carnegie Hall.
14:52I could see her at the Met.
14:54I could get big, big dreams.
14:57And it just, it never occurred to me, you know,
14:59that my daughter might have dreams of her own.
15:02Because we always know what's best.
15:04Yeah, I wanted, I wanted her to have everything.
15:07And I, um, and I knew exactly what it was going to take to get it.
15:13But then I finally, obviously, realized
15:16that the more you try to control your kids,
15:18the quicker you lose them.
15:20I know what you mean.
15:21You can't make the choices for them,
15:22but you can just be there if they ask for help.
15:26Which sounds so simple.
15:28Well, it's not that simple.
15:31Especially with Christina, who I,
15:32that's who I worry about the most.
15:34Why's that?
15:35Because out of all my kids,
15:38she is the most like my mother, Adela.
15:45Who was too good for this era.
15:47I cannot believe that your dad turned out to be the DA.
15:51You work with Robert.
15:53What is he like?
15:55Well, I wouldn't want to go against him in a courtroom.
15:58But I don't really know him personally.
16:00Did the two of you get a chance to talk at all?
16:03A little.
16:04But I told him I needed time, so.
16:07He said I can call when I'm ready.
16:11Okay, so he's available to you.
16:14I heard he's, uh, taking a leave of absence.
16:17I know.
16:18He skipped town with my mother.
16:21Really?
16:23Honestly, I'm glad that Robert will be out of town for a while
16:27because it gives me some time to get used to the idea.
16:31That's fair.
16:34It is nice to know that I'm not alone in the world.
16:39I just never expected to have a dad.
16:41I don't, I don't even know what that's supposed to look like.
16:45Look, there are no hard and fast rules.
16:47Every father-daughter relationship is unique.
16:51Does that mean you're hoping for a boy or a girl?
16:57Yes.
16:59You don't trust me?
17:01It's not about trust.
17:02It's more about, um, discretion.
17:07Name one time that I haven't been discreet.
17:10The time you told Sonny that it was Nina,
17:12not me, who turned in Drew and Carly to the SEC.
17:15Well, he had a right to know.
17:17Olivia, the person who told you that secret,
17:19specifically asked you not to tell Sonny.
17:22I had no other choice, morally.
17:24Well, Ma, if you don't know the secret,
17:26then you don't have to make any moral judgments
17:27about who you should or shouldn't spill your guts to.
17:30Why are you assuming that I'm gonna spill my guts to anyone?
17:34Because you are terrible at keeping secrets.
17:37Right, Gio?
17:42I never thought that Willow could be unfaithful.
17:46I know, I'm a hypocrite too, right?
17:48I slept with somebody, so...
17:49Hey, it doesn't make what Willow did hurt any less.
17:54She broke our wedding vows.
17:57So she must be in love with Drew, right?
17:59You're not gonna know until you talk to Willow
18:00and you listen to what she has to say.
18:05I'm afraid she's gonna say that there's no future for us.
18:09Congratulations, man, you did it.
18:11I don't even know why I'm acting surprised.
18:13Well, listen, listen, it means a lot to me that you guys were here,
18:15and I want to say thank you again
18:16for everything that you did at Aurora during this campaign.
18:19Drew, it's been the time of my life, and it's only the beginning.
18:22Yeah, well, we'll talk about all that another time.
18:24Good, because tonight is about you and celebrating your victory.
18:28It was smart of you to stay on good terms with your ex.
18:32His newfound political influence could help your business.
18:37Yeah, well, Drew and I are friends because we care about each other,
18:40not because I want to get something from him.
18:42Oh, sure, sure, but now he's in a position where he can be useful to you.
18:45Should you ever need something?
18:48I don't use my friends.
18:50Oh, you've never asked a friend for a favor.
18:53Sure, but I don't consider that using people, and I think it's sad that you do.
18:58Just saying.
19:00Everybody uses everybody.
19:03I don't, and neither does Drew.
19:06Oh, so there's no possible ulterior motive that Drew could have had
19:09for getting romantically involved with you.
19:15Do you have to say these things in a crowded room?
19:25Willow is walking around someplace.
19:27So I take it that's a...
19:28No, it's a no.
19:29I have not told Willow about me and Drew, nor do I plan to.
19:34How well has keeping secrets worked out for you before?
19:36Well, this is different because Willow has assured me
19:39that nothing is going on between her and Drew.
19:43Anymore.
19:44Or ever again, because Drew is going to Washington.
19:49Okay, I have to admit, that's the classiest way to run someone out of town.
19:52Despite his flaws, I think Drew is going to be an excellent congressman.
19:57I'm sorry, Nina.
19:59Flaws?
20:00Drew made out with his nephew's wife and then slept with her mother.
20:04Okay.
20:06You know, plenty of politicians have indiscretions.
20:10Oh my god, you're still sleeping with him.
20:17Your acceptance speech was wonderful.
20:20I wouldn't be here if you hadn't convinced me to run.
20:24I don't know if that's true.
20:26Your faith in me pushed me to be better, to do better.
20:31I have faith you will do great things in Washington.
20:36I'm just sorry that Sam isn't here to see this.
20:41What?
20:43You just, you know me.
20:46You always do.
20:48And yes, I am.
20:50I am thinking about Sam right now.
20:52I know.
20:55When are you headed to Washington?
20:58After Sam's funeral.
21:02I'll miss you.
21:04But it's for the best.
21:06Yeah.
21:08Yeah, I'm hoping that this, you know, makes it easier.
21:12Although I'm not sure anything will.
21:17I need to go find Michael.
21:20Congratulations.
21:21Again.
21:27For god's sakes, Gio.
21:28Don't go sneaking up on people like that.
21:30I wasn't sneaking.
21:31I just walked in.
21:32Are you in on this too?
21:33Ma, lay off of him.
21:35Gio's not in on anything.
21:36I have no idea what I walked in on.
21:38So I'm going to stay out of it.
21:40Good instincts, kid.
21:41You save yourself.
21:42You know what? I'm gonna get out of here too.
21:44I need to go track down my husband.
21:46Chase and Sasha in the kitchen.
22:03Yeah.
22:04I always do what I think is right.
22:07Which is admirable.
22:10But what's right to you may not be right for the family.
22:15So please, just drop it.
22:21Fine.
22:22Good night.
22:26I went by your place and when you weren't there, I figured...
22:29I'd be distracting myself in my office.
22:33You're lucky you have an office to go to.
22:35I've been going out of my mind.
22:37Sweetie, you're gonna have to find something to do to try and occupy your mind.
22:44I just feel like I have no purpose right now.
22:47I'm not working for the foundation and I don't have a child to care for.
22:53Tell me what I can do to help.
22:57Nothing.
22:58Let's just go and get a burger and forget about it.
23:01I thought you said you were going to be up front with me.
23:07Okay.
23:09I've been thinking a lot about Danny and Scout and how they are gonna grow up now without a mother.
23:15And for Dante, it's so complicated for him that he lost Sam while she was trying to save Lulu.
23:22There's just so many questions and there'll never be any answers.
23:27I just have one.
23:29Why did I live and Sam died?
23:34Thanks for coming.
23:35My beloved thinks a bit of intrigue will be good for me.
23:38So, uh, what's our quest?
23:41Any closer on finding Valentine?
23:43Alas, I've scoured the digital world and there is no trace of the errant Cassidy.
23:49Probably because Brennan's helping him with or without the WSB.
23:54And we know this how?
23:56Well, we don't.
23:57But Brennan made it a point to warn me that if we find Valentine, it's gonna be bad for Anna.
24:03Challenge accepted.
24:05How do we proceed?
24:07We focus on Brennan.
24:09We find unexplained transactions, untraceable communications,
24:12any indication that he might be in contact with Valentine.
24:15I'm on it.
24:16But the WSB's anti-hacking measures won't make it easy.
24:22This is when Sam would get involved.
24:25Break into Brennan's office, plant surveillance devices so that we could monitor him.
24:30Yeah, she was great at that.
24:32Indeed.
24:35I miss her so much.
24:43I'm so proud of you.
24:46Well, now that I'm completely in charge, I can't wait to take Aurora to the next level.
24:50Sounds like you got some plans.
24:51Honey, I got big plans.
24:53And they're not just for Aurora.
24:59Michael!
25:02Just the man I want to see.
25:06Pretty good, right?
25:08There you are.
25:09Hi, Sasha.
25:14What's this?
25:16So, uh, due to a little mix-up, Sasha knows that we are trying.
25:20I won't say a word.
25:23Of course.
25:24I've got an early morning, so good night and good luck.
25:31Babe, I hope you know that you don't need a book to learn how to be a great dad.
25:34I've already seen your incredible dad skills with Violet and Bailey Lou.
25:39I just want to make sure I'm doing everything I can to be ready for Project Baby Bum.
25:43We will not be calling this set.
25:44Come on.
25:46I can't wait to see you pregnant.
25:48For real this time.
25:50I love you.
25:50You're cute.
25:56Anything that's good in me comes from my mother.
26:00She was caring, loving, just amazing.
26:04And she forgave everyone, even when she shouldn't have.
26:12Sounds like you had a really great mom.
26:14Yeah, I did.
26:15And Christina is a lot like that.
26:17I mean, Christina just sees the best in everybody, even though sometimes you don't see it.
26:22I see it.
26:23I think, you know, maybe that's why she's easily disappointed.
26:27I mean, I wish my mother would have recognized how strong she was.
26:34She didn't deserve what she got.
26:36She had a hard life.
26:38Well, she kept on getting together with men who just treated her horribly.
26:41And she put up with it because she felt like she couldn't make it on her own.
26:49Well, from what I know of Christina, that's where she's different from your mother.
26:53Yeah, yeah.
26:54I mean, Christina is tough.
26:57She doesn't put up with anything, doesn't take anything from anybody.
27:00No.
27:01That's one of the things I most love about her.
27:06Christina, your sister would never want you to wish it was you and not her.
27:13Sam was loved by so many people, and so many people depended on her.
27:18Nobody's dependent on me.
27:19I am.
27:21Your father is.
27:22Molly is.
27:23Dante, the list is too long to name.
27:25It's not the same, Mom.
27:27You know that.
27:28What I do know is Sam died and you didn't, which means that you're here, so don't waste it.
27:39That is exactly my point.
27:41Sam never wasted a moment, but me, I've wasted plenty.
27:46I'm going to say something to you, and I don't want you to argue.
27:51Can you manage that?
27:54Okay.
27:56You matter.
27:59Your life matters.
28:01You have a beautiful heart, and you are fierce, and you are kind, and you get under people's
28:08skin like nobody I've ever known in my whole life, but you are a beautiful person, and
28:13like nobody I've ever known in my whole life, but you matter to me.
28:22I need you, so don't forget that.
28:27I won't.
28:29And there's something else that I need to ask you.
28:34That car accident, was it an accident?
28:41What?
28:42Yes, it wasn't even an accident, Mom.
28:44It was a minor fender bender, and if you're asking me if it happened because I was trying
28:51to hurt myself, the answer is no.
28:54In fact, I was in bed last night thinking about how much worse it could have been, and
28:59that's when it hit me.
29:00I got my answer.
29:04Answer to what?
29:05What I have to live for.
29:07What else do you want?
29:08What else do you want?
29:10Well, now that I've won the election, I've got some clarity about the future of Aurora.
29:15Yeah, I'm sure Curtis will do great.
29:17Curtis has been doing an amazing job as interim CEO, but there's just one person that has
29:21the vision and the savvy to take Aurora to the heights that I know it can be, and that's
29:27you.
29:28Me?
29:30Absolutely.
29:32Will you do it?
29:33Michael, I've been looking all over for you.
29:36Yeah, same here.
29:39I need to talk to my wife.
29:42Sure.
29:47What do you want to talk about?
29:49Hey, can we get out of here?
29:51Of course.
29:51I have my car.
29:52Okay, I'll meet you at home.
29:58You're disgusting.
29:59Oh, stop flirting, darling.
30:00We're in public.
30:01You know nothing about me and Drew.
30:03You said that you've been friends for a long time, nothing more.
30:07So?
30:08And then Drew waltzes back to town.
30:10After being held captive in a Kasadyne dungeon.
30:12Yeah, and finds himself on the outside looking in.
30:15And there you are, this good platonic friend who just happens to be a heavy hitter in poor
30:21child society.
30:23What's your point?
30:24Drew got his social standing back because of you.
30:28And now, now he's in the bigs.
30:31He's moved on.
30:33Drew went to prison for me.
30:35He was nearly killed in Pentonville.
30:36He never expected to go to prison.
30:38At worst, he thought he'd get a slap on the wrist.
30:40So not exactly the big heroic sacrifice you thought it was.
30:45Wow.
30:46Is that how you see friendships?
30:48A potential asset ready to be used?
30:51Does that mean you're using me now?
30:54Okay, forget about Drew, Nina.
30:55I mean it.
30:56You got to wash that man right out of your... wherever he's been.
31:00I don't want to see you get hurt.
31:03Drew can't hurt me.
31:05I don't care enough.
31:07I didn't say he was the one who could hurt you.
31:11Nina, good.
31:13Hey, Maxie, hi.
31:14Drew, hi.
31:15Nina and I were just talking about all the good you're going to do when you're finally in D.C.
31:19Oh, well, I'm looking forward to it.
31:21Aren't we all?
31:22Nina, I could use some help getting that list of donors that I need to thank.
31:26Oh, sure.
31:27When?
31:28Well, I'm pretty much finished here, so how about now?
31:32Now is perfect.
31:34Perfect.
31:36Now that business is out of the way, I hope you know if you ever need to talk.
31:40Yeah, there is actually something I wanted to run by you.
31:45I had that as a father.
31:48Huh?
31:50I wasn't prepared for that.
31:52I just need to rebalance my serotonin.
31:56What's on your mind?
31:59Danny wants to live with me.
32:03You are his father and you have much time to make up for it.
32:06He also wants to stay with Scout and Rocco.
32:10Ah.
32:12How does that work?
32:14I just, I wouldn't.
32:17I mean, look, I don't want to turn Danny down.
32:20I've abandoned him already too many times.
32:22Not because you were forced to.
32:24Even so, like, I guess I just keep, I keep struggling.
32:28Like, do I let him make his own decision?
32:30Because if he wants to stay with the kids, maybe the right move is not to move in with me.
32:36And if that's what's best for Danny,
32:40then I got to take a step back again.
32:44Wouldn't that hurt?
32:46Not just Danny, but...
32:48I'm not, I'm not worried about me.
32:52I just need to protect the people I love.
32:58What do you say we take this upstairs?
33:00I approve of this plan.
33:02Wait.
33:04Let's bring this with us.
33:06That is something that I love about you.
33:07You are thorough.
33:09Let me show you how thorough.
33:11So I want to hear about these big plans of yours.
33:14Well, as CEO, I've become aware of some things I'd never considered before.
33:19Such as?
33:20Such as the importance of kids getting varied experiences
33:24so they can discover what they love on their own terms.
33:27What brought this on?
33:29Honey, I just got to thinking about my dad and how music shaped his life.
33:32How it shapes all of ours, really.
33:34It's one of the first things they eliminate from the school's curriculum.
33:39And you're planning on changing that?
33:41I was thinking with the new income,
33:43I could start a music program at the community center.
33:47What do you think?
33:49I think I love the idea.
33:51How could I possibly be using you?
33:53I asked for your help once with Jason because there were lives at stake.
33:57Other than that, when have I ever asked for anything from you?
34:01I've been the pleasure of your company.
34:04Well, men like you don't ask.
34:05You trick and you deceive.
34:07You could be using me right now.
34:09What about you?
34:12How do I know you're not using me?
34:17I guess you don't.
34:18Christina's really lucky to have a father like you.
34:22I think I'm lucky that she always finds a way to forgive my shortcomings.
34:27You think that's impressive?
34:29She forgave me.
34:29So there's one for the record books.
34:31Well, that's because she has a big heart like my mother.
34:34Well, see, you're not giving yourself enough credit.
34:37You know, you're the first person to accuse me of that.
34:41But really, seriously, that resiliency that you admire so much in Christina,
34:47that comes from you.
34:50If I had died with my baby, I wouldn't be able to testify against Ava.
34:56Honey, you have a lot more to live for than getting back at Ava.
34:59I know, but Ava is the reason that Adela never got a chance to live.
35:05And she has to pay for that.
35:07That's your newfound purpose?
35:09I am alive so that I can get justice for my daughter.
35:13And with your help, I can do that.
35:17Sorry that took so long.
35:18I guess I wasn't as lucky with the lights as you.
35:22Which happens.
35:25You said you wanted to talk?
35:29Yeah.
35:34Michael, what is it?
35:42I can't tell if that was the hard part or if I finished the easy part.
35:45Oh, I think that was the easy part.
35:47Because now, not only are you going to have to govern,
35:50but you're going to have to get ready to do this again in four years.
35:52Well, let's hope by then I've given the voters a reason to.
35:59Hello?
