00:00Well, this one gets points for adhering to the 3-5-8 rule.
00:07But stylistically, I don't know.
00:11I think I was going for elegant.
00:13I wound up with prissy, borderline fussy.
00:18And that's just not you.
00:22This one, though.
00:25This one's uplifting and relatable.
00:30It's not trying to prove anything.
00:35I know they're not your favorite colors, but if I had gotten black roses, that would have just been depressing.
00:43You never would have worn a yellow leather jacket.
00:48Do you remember that date I went on where the guy wore yellow leather pants?
00:55Anyway, they remind me of the dress you wore to Brooklyn and Chase's wedding.
01:04You looked so beautiful that day.
01:09You always look beautiful.
01:13So we're going with the yellow.
01:17I think she'd approve.
01:24Oh, hi.
01:32Hi.
01:33Hi, Taylor.
01:34Yes, I know.
01:37I'm assuming you're here to see Trina.
01:39Yeah, you think she'll give me the time of day?
01:41I wish I could say the odds were in your favor.
01:43You never give me the odds.
01:45She doesn't have to.
01:46I will.
01:48Zero to none.
02:01Hey, what are you doing here?
02:03I figured after a long night you might like someone to drive you home.
02:06So I took a ride share over.
02:08So I get my own personal driver and you get to practice driving?
02:13Win-win.
02:14Thanks.
02:15Glad you're here.
02:17I've been wanting to talk to you about something.
02:23It's about Dad, isn't it?
02:34Oh, keeping abreast of international affairs.
02:38I like to know what's going on in the world.
02:43Do I know you?
02:44Well, you should.
02:45I'm the man who saved your life.
02:53Hey, is there any chance that you can come over today?
02:58I could really use some help getting myself more presentable.
03:04Daddy?
03:08What happened to your face?
03:23Hey, bud.
03:25Hey, there's coffee over there.
03:27Oh, thanks.
03:28No, I'm good.
03:29I'm good.
03:34Man, you guys made a great looking family.
03:37Still do.
03:40Yeah, I don't know if there's much of a family without Sam.
03:49Come on.
03:51Damn it.
03:53What's going on, Mom?
03:56I can't do this.
03:58Whoa, you can't do what?
04:01I don't think I can get through this today.
04:29I am still out here.
04:31Why did you answer the door?
04:33Because that's what you do when someone knocks on a door.
04:36Well, it could have been a murderer.
04:38Well, then I would have kicked his butt.
04:40And for the record, I'm not going to close the door on our number one future draft pick.
04:46That's why I did it.
04:48Come on.
04:50He came all the way here to talk to you.
04:52Look, I already told him that I asked for a new partner.
04:55I don't even know why he bothered.
04:56Well, maybe if you open the door, he'll tell you why.
04:59Come on.
05:01You're going to give Ava the benefit of the doubt, and you can't give Kai Taylor five minutes to explain himself?
05:06Blow, blow.
05:09If you don't like what he says, you can slam the door in his face again.
05:14I did like doing that.
05:16Okay, I have to go if I'm going to meet my mom before Sam's funeral.
05:20Look, I know this is going to be a hard day for everyone, so if you need anything, I'm here, okay?
05:25Love you.
05:26Love you.
05:31You owe me.
05:33Good luck.
05:34I am going to need it.
05:38You don't give up easily.
05:39I'll give you that.
05:42So why are you here?
05:43To state my case.
05:45What case?
05:47For you to give me another chance.
05:52What happened to your face, Dad?
05:54Is it hurt?
05:55No, it's okay.
05:56I'm fine.
05:57I'm fine.
05:58It actually just kind of looks worse than it is.
05:59Do you want me to call a doctor?
06:00Yeah, I can get Willow.
06:01She's a nurse.
06:02Guys, honestly, I'm fine.
06:05Well, that's not entirely true.
06:07I'm a little embarrassed.
06:09But other than that, I'm fine.
06:11Why are you embarrassed?
06:14Because I was in the kitchen, and I just kind of turned around quick to leave, and I just walked into a door.
06:22Why didn't you see it?
06:24I guess I just really wasn't paying attention.
06:26It was dumb.
06:29Guys, could I have a minute with Scout alone?
06:32Would you mind?
06:35Sure.
06:41Sweetie, I'm okay.
06:44All right?
06:45I promise.
06:47If you stop feeling okay, you have to tell me so we can go to the doctor, okay?
06:53Scout's honor.
06:55No matter what, you have to keep your promise.
06:58The one that you said you'd always be with me, Mom broke hers.
07:06I'm really glad you're here.
07:08Being at this church by myself today, it's been hard.
07:12I wish there were more I could do.
07:15What's going on with you?
07:17Besides the obvious.
07:20Today's not about me.
07:22Lucas, you've known me my whole life.
07:25Clearly, I'm not going to let this go, so you should just tell me.
07:30If I hadn't been Sam's surgeon, then today wouldn't be happening.
07:36Sam is the one who insisted that you do the surgery.
07:40She wasn't a doctor.
07:42I am, and I know that operating on a loved one is never a good idea.
07:46It is when your sister won't allow anyone else to do it.
07:49When you operate on someone that you're close to, emotions get in the way.
07:55And there's just too much at stake for surgeons to take that risk, and I knew it.
08:01Lucas, sometimes bad things happen, and it's nobody's fault.
08:08This time it is.
08:10Okay, so you're determined to take the blame for this.
08:13Sam's gone, and I'm the only one it makes sense to blame.
08:19I was trying to put this on, and I broke it.
08:23Okay, let me see what I can do.
08:25I got it.
08:31Something tells me this isn't about the bracelet.
08:33I don't want to bury her today.
08:35I know.
08:36And I can't leave without that bracelet, because that was the last gift that she gave to me.
08:40On Mother's Day.
08:42It had all of your birthstones, or all three of you.
08:46I know. She had it made for you.
08:48And I broke it.
08:51Well, Molly's going to fix it, maybe. And if she can't, then somebody can.
08:55Nobody can fix it today, and I have to wear it today.
08:58Okay.
09:01This just feels like bad deja vu.
09:05It feels like it was just yesterday, and we were preparing to bury Adela.
09:15I've been replaying Sam's surgery over and over in my mind.
09:20She was healthy. The procedure was straightforward. No complications.
09:25So, I must have made some mistake, but I can't figure out what it was.
09:32Lucas, every aspect of a transplant surgery has risks.
09:35Look at what it took for me to recover from my transplant. Your sister died so I could live.
09:39Your situation and this one are very different.
09:42No, not to me.
09:43You and BJ were patients. And kids.
09:46I'm a surgeon, a trained and experienced adult, who quite possibly made a disastrous mistake.
09:52You're also an adult who's going to take the easy way out?
09:57What are you talking about?
09:59Well, the easiest thing to do in this situation would be for you to blame yourself.
10:04And I'll be damned if I'm going to let you get away with that.
10:09How'd you know I wanted to talk to you about your dad?
10:12You get this look on your face whenever we have to talk about us.
10:16Oh. I thought it was harder to read than that.
10:20Not really. And I'm your kid.
10:23I've had to learn how to read you. Otherwise, I'd never know when I was getting in trouble or just getting close to it.
10:29Right. Well, I'm going to have to work on that. You know, keep things interesting.
10:34Things are interesting enough the way they are.
10:37Yeah. That's it.
10:42So?
10:46About Dad?
10:51I wanted to prepare you for the possibility that your dad will be leaving town again.
11:01I'm not Mom. I kind of expected it.
11:08Uh, can I buy you a coffee?
11:12Shouldn't I be buying yours? Remind me, though, how exactly did you save my life?
11:18Sorry. Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Jack Brennan, Station Chief for the WSB in Port Charles.
11:26And I assisted in your extraction from Africa.
11:31I should throw in a donut, then. Life's worth at least a coffee and a donut.
11:37Well, I would have thought that a man with your last name might value himself a bit more than that.
11:41I would have thought a man of your stature would have found the Metro Court a more appropriate hang than Bobby's.
11:47The Metro Court does indeed have its undeniable charms, but I just can't resist the pie here.
11:57Well, how about this? I'll pay for myself and you have until you finish your coffee to tell me what you want.
12:04Fair enough. You mind if I ask why are you in such a hurry?
12:10Because I have to get to a funeral.
12:15I'm no expert, but I think that once people become a family, you know, that bond doesn't break just because one person's gone.
12:25I'm not sure it works like that, man.
12:28When I first got to Port Charles, you know, I was still running cons.
12:33But you, you, my friend, you you had this job that you loved and a woman who lit up your world.
12:41Kids that made you smile like all of the time.
12:46She had all those things.
12:51I was in awe of you and Sam.
12:53You know, I'd never seen two people support each other like you guys had.
12:57Still haven't. You guys really figured out how to have it all.
13:00Yeah. Well, Sam's the one who made all that possible. You were a big part of it, too.
13:04You still are. Look, whatever I got and did right.
13:08I got it from Sam. I'm not as smart as Sam, but I think between the two of us, we can figure out just about anything.
13:17All I'm trying to figure out right now is if I'm ever going to feel like smiling about anything ever again,
13:22because right now this grief is pretty all consuming and it feels like it just might take me down.
13:30OK, let's go.
13:34You know that your mom loved you more than anything.
13:42She didn't want to leave you.
13:44I know mom loved me, but you still need to keep your promise and stay with me.
13:51And I will.
13:55Those are so beautiful. Where'd you get them?
13:59From Lila's garden. They're for mom. I want to bring them to her.
14:07Well, that's a great idea.
14:11She's gonna love them.
14:23Molly, I'm sorry. I didn't mean.
14:24It's fine. Here, mom. Let's try this.
14:29There. It's beautiful.
14:31Thank you, sweetie.
14:39Molls, I'm just gonna get some air.
14:54How did you know I needed you?
14:57Father's intuition.
15:10Hey, thank you for coming.
15:12Oh, does it still hurt?
15:15It doesn't really feel great. I can tell you that.
15:19It looks bad, doesn't it?
15:20Well, honestly, yes.
15:23Are you sure you're all right?
15:24Yeah, I'm fine. I'm fine. I just would love you to make it look a little less bad.
15:30Well, I am the best designer at Crimson, so I certainly can make it look, well, maybe not great, but at least better.
15:40Well, better. It's gonna have to do.
15:44Thanks for getting here so quickly.
15:45Yeah, I hope I got here before the kids saw you.
15:48No such luck.
15:51What did you tell them?
15:52I said that I walked into a door.
15:56You went with that?
15:57I didn't want Scout to worry. They caught me off guard, so I just said the first thing that popped into my head.
16:03Well, put your thinking cap on, because that story might work on children, but it's definitely not gonna work on anybody else.
16:16Scout says she drew this for Mom so she can feel like we're always with her.
16:22That's nice.
16:25So, um, do you think Scout's dad really walked into a door?
16:32Nah, I think that's just a cover-up for what really happened.
16:37What do you think happened?
16:39My guess is that he got into a fight, but none of that matters right now.
16:46All that matters is getting through today and taking care of Scout.
16:49Yeah. Big brother. I just do.
16:54So, uh, I'm gonna hike over to the church and lay these on Mom's casket so Scout can see them when she walks in.
17:00I'll see you there?
17:01See ya.
17:03Danny, no matter what happens or what anybody says, we're brothers.
17:14No matter what.
17:18Look, I already told you that I asked for a new partner.
17:21I know, okay, but what I didn't know was that me being a jerk would affect you so much.
17:25How could you not know?
17:27Alright, my advisor signed me up for art because he thought it would be easy.
17:32I'm not helping myself, am I?
17:35Anyone who loves art like I do would take that as an insult.
17:38And just to be clear, that's my advisor's thinking. It's not mine.
17:43I should get a new advisor.
17:44Probably.
17:45Okay, but anyway, the only art class with an open spot was art history.
17:50So that is why we ended up being project partners.
17:53Okay, well, if that's all you came here to say.
17:56I also wanted to say that I know art history is not easy.
18:00Then you should drop it.
18:02I take art very seriously.
18:04And I refuse to carry someone whose priority doesn't align with mine.
18:07But I want to learn about art.
18:09And I'm willing to pull my weight.
18:12Look, I appreciate you coming here, but I have a very tough schedule this semester.
18:20I have a job.
18:21You work in an art gallery, right?
18:24Yes.
18:25Okay, an art gallery, so imagine a random guy walking in.
18:30A guy who doesn't know a lot about art, but he wants to learn.
18:34Are you just going to turn him away?
18:42I didn't think I'd see you today.
18:44I came to check on you.
18:45Good timing.
18:47Just took everything in me not to blow up at Christina just now.
18:50Came here to cool down instead.
18:53Probably a good idea.
18:55But I think I might have something to take your mind off of whatever Christina did.
19:00Happy belated, sweetheart.
19:02You remembered.
19:04Of course, of course.
19:06Your birthday, best day of my life.
19:08And your father at the role.
19:13Tickets to 12 Angry Men at the Borghese?
19:16I cannot believe this.
19:18I knew it was your favorite.
19:19I remember when you took me to see it when I was in high school.
19:22I thought it was just going to be a bunch of old guys yelling and, well, angry.
19:27Angry, yeah.
19:28Yeah.
19:29But it was so much more.
19:31I mean, it made me want to become a lawyer.
19:33Yeah, well, they were doing a revival of it, and I...
19:37Look, I know it's your birthday gift, but I was kind of hoping that we could go together.
19:42I wouldn't want to see it with anybody else.
19:49Oh, I just wish that you could have a normal birthday with not all of this heartache.
20:03I really did not mean for Molly to hear me.
20:08Honestly, I mean, we've been doing so well.
20:11Especially after last night.
20:14What happened last night?
20:17I just gave her a necklace for her birthday.
20:20Oh, God, I forgot her birthday.
20:23What is wrong? I don't even know what day it is.
20:26Mom, it's okay. Molly will understand with everything going on.
20:32Hold on a second.
20:36Who is she talking...
20:38What the hell is he doing here?
20:40He's the last person I need to see right now.
20:46Lucas, Sam was not the type of person to make decisions out of sentiment.
20:50Not usually.
20:51Not ever.
20:52If she didn't think you were the right person to do this surgery, she wouldn't have asked you.
21:00She didn't have a lot of time to make the decision.
21:02So? Sam made quick decisions all the time.
21:05She was great at it. She was never wrong.
21:07Including this time.
21:09Well, if that were true, then none of this would be happening.
21:19I know you don't believe in yourself very much right now.
21:22But believe in Sam.
21:29She trusted you.
21:31So trust her.
21:35Mom, I know Dad.
21:37If he's going back to Africa, he's just doing what he does.
21:42Wow, I did not react with half your maturity when he told me.
21:46We have each other.
21:48We'll be fine.
21:59I have a lot more than Danny Rocco and Scout do.
22:03My heart breaks for them.
22:08I might not see Dad every day, but he's still alive.
22:12And out in the world trying to do some good.
22:15And that's cool.
22:18Where did you learn to be such a kind and understanding person?
22:22From you.
22:24I love you.
22:34I love you, too.
22:40I was very impressed by the work you did at the Kenya-Somalia border.
22:44The border is not exactly the easiest or the safest place in the world to go to work.
22:54Well, safe, easy places don't usually need humanitarian aid.
22:58No, they don't.
22:59And you don't seem to shy away from the danger.
23:03In fact, you seem to thrive on it.
23:07Almost finished with your coffee, Chief.
23:09Better cut to the chase.
23:15I have a job opportunity.
23:21It's right up your alley. It's in the same region.
23:24What type of work?
23:25You'll be working with the locals.
23:27Doing?
23:28There's a situation in the works there, and I need boots on the ground to gather intel.
23:35So not aid work.
23:37Well, it is, actually, of a sort.
23:40Just not the sort you're used to.
23:42And unlike your previous position, this time around you would be...
23:50...handsomely rewarded for, well, putting your neck on the line again.
23:55You know, I'm not in it for the money.
23:57I'm very selective about the work I do.
24:01You know, I think you'd find working for the WSB...
24:04Always comes with strings.
24:07And I'm nobody's puppet.
24:09Molly, I am so sorry.
24:11No, I am so sorry. Honey, please forgive me.
24:15It's okay, Mom.
24:19And thank you for being here.
24:20Of course.
24:23I will go call Minister Warren. Make sure he has everything he needs for today.
24:30Thank you for everything.
24:33Anytime.
24:40Happy birthday.
24:47You are not welcome here.
24:48I just came by to wish Molly a happy birthday, okay?
24:52Which I can see you've forgotten, of course.
24:56Our only daughter winds up being the lowest on your list of priorities.
25:01You are going to do this to me today?
25:03What's the matter, Alexis? You don't want to hear the truth?
25:05No, I...
25:10I'm sorry.
25:13You're burying my daughter, you heartless son of a bitch.
25:16Now get the hell off my property, so I can mourn her.
25:20Okay, when you're done doing that, just remember, your youngest daughter is still very much alive.
25:33Sam was a huge part of what made your family work, but...
25:36I mean, those kids, they love you. They trust you, man.
25:43Well, your brother didn't give you that to get payback from Michael.
25:48This beating was a warning.
25:50I'm not worried about Jason.
25:52Well, you should.
25:54Of how far Jason will go on Michael's path.
26:00Okay, hypothetically, if a guy came into the gallery, I would love to talk to him.
26:07But that would be a conversation, not a project for a mandatory class.
26:12And I know it's been unfair that you've had to carry the class workload by yourself.
26:15That's why I asked for a new partner.
26:17But I'm a team player. I don't bail on teammates, and I won't do it to you either.
26:21That's great, but what do you know about art?
26:23In our Medieval to Rococo lab, we will cover Bondol, Pisano, and Bondone.
26:28In Rococo, we will start with Watteau, Alcacer, and Boucher.
26:33And there will be more, but that's just where we're starting.
26:37All that proves is that you read the syllabus.
26:39No, it proves I can be taught.
26:41It proves that I have a good memory.
26:43And isn't that a good thing to have in a partner?
26:50Dante.
26:53Sweet Harvest.
26:56I'm going to go check on the kids.
26:58Yeah, sure, whatever you need to.
27:08Last thing I wanted to do was make Dante feel worse.
27:11You did it.
27:14It's grief. It's unpredictable.
27:18I know someone that you love is gone.
27:23And all the things you ever felt about that person, they hit you right in the face.
27:28You know, the good, the bad, the ugly. Sad.
27:34I was just trying to help him remember the good.
27:37You did.
27:39And Dante's going to need his good friends now to get him through these dark places.
27:45Because there's going to be a whole lot more of them.
27:50I'm going to do everything I can.
27:53I appreciate that, honey.
27:55And Dante appreciates it, too.
27:59He's going to have to find his own way through this grief.
28:03All we can do is help him up when he falls.
28:10I know you think I should have pressed charges against Jason.
28:13But Danny needs him.
28:16I get it. I do get it.
28:18But this might be your last chance to make sure that Jason isn't a danger to whoever it ends.
28:22It's not going to be a problem.
28:24Well, you keep saying that.
28:25Lenita!
28:27Sam asked Jason and me to put the kids first above everything else.
28:30It's literally the last thing that she asked of me.
28:34I'm not going to let her down.
28:39Molly, I am so sorry I forgot your birthday, especially this year.
28:43It's okay.
28:44It's not.
28:45Look, I actually didn't forget.
28:47Okay?
28:48I know, I know.
28:49It's at the apartment.
28:51TJ, it's fine.
28:53Okay? I'm fine.
28:57Well, if you're ever not fine, I'm here.
29:01Okay? If you want to collapse, I will hold you up.
29:04If you're hungry, I'll cook.
29:05I'll cook.
29:06Okay?
29:07I can run you a bath.
29:08I can give you a back rub.
29:10I love you.
29:11Whatever you need.
29:12I love you, okay?
29:14I don't, I think it all the time, but I don't always say it and I shouldn't.
29:19I love you.
29:21Just you being here is all I need today.
29:29Um, excuse me.
29:45The WSB's goals vary depending on the situation, but I can say that part of this job would involve helping refugees.
29:54What about the other part?
29:58I'd like you to get the inside track on a new political group that may be on the rise and may have found its footing.
30:04And from my understanding, you and the WSB would be very much aligned in this particular cause.
30:11So you say.
30:14So I promise.
30:18Almost sounds too good to be true.
30:20You know what they say about that.
30:23Well, if you want the job, I can get you out on a flight in the next 24 hours.
30:37If you give me a chance, I will be the hardest working partner you've ever had.
30:43I don't know.
30:44And I wasn't kidding about my memory.
30:46I memorized PCU's entire playbook in six hours.
30:49I watch game tapes once and I know every defense I'm going to face the next game.
30:54And do you think you can handle art history and being QB one?
30:57You don't think that you'll have to drop one?
30:59No, I don't quit.
31:00I don't quit ever.
31:04And being QB one, you don't think that you'll have to drop one?
31:07No, I don't quit.
31:08I don't quit ever.
31:11And our next game is at home.
31:14And your friend seems like a fan, so why don't you bring her and see for yourself?
31:19Okay, I never give up.
31:23Well, Joss and her boyfriend would love that, but football is not really my thing.
31:29Okay, well maybe you just have to give it a chance.
31:32Well, I can see you have other matters to attend to, so why don't you call me when you've made a decision?
31:41Bye.
31:48Didn't think I'd see you here.
31:50I'm just picking up cookies for the reception after the funeral.
31:55Who's that guy you were talking to?
31:56That was WSB Port Charles Station Chief Jack Brennan.
32:03He offered me a job back in my old neck of the woods.
32:08Africa.
32:10Yeah, same region, even.
32:14So that's it? You're just going to leave again?
32:18So that's it? You're just going to leave again?
32:26All done.
32:28Well, what do you think?
32:30Well, hopefully no one will ever know that Jason laid a hand on you.
32:48Girls, it's time.
33:08What do you think of that one?
33:12It's perfect.
33:14She looks really happy.
33:15She looks really happy.
33:41Danny.
33:42Danny.
33:44No, no, you need to leave.
33:46Danny, I...
33:47No, you are not allowed to be here.
33:48You are the one who let my mother die.
