00:02I hope I didn't keep you waiting long. You know, when I asked you to meet me for lunch, I
00:07didn't know you were already here.
00:09Yeah, I just had a very interesting meeting with Valentin Casado.
00:15About?
00:16Among other things. He mentioned that he helped you save my life.
00:22Hey, beautiful.
00:25How are you and Desi feeling?
00:27Well, Desi's doing great.
00:30Sleeping like a champ, without a care in the world.
00:33Good.
00:34Are you doing everything you can to shield him from this mess?
00:38Yeah. Well, I, on the other hand, have several cares in my world, including Curtis's trial.
00:45The little luck will all be over soon.
00:49In the meantime, do you like to have some good news?
00:53Yeah, I'll take what I can get. Yeah.
00:55Okay.
00:55The latest MRI on my hand is back.
00:58And it is remodeling well.
01:02And it is short marked improvement.
01:06There is no lasting tendon damage on my hand.
01:09Does that mean that you'll be able to perform surgery again?
01:11We don't know yet.
01:13But it's looking hopeful.
01:16Oh, my goodness.
01:26Hey, Scout.
01:33Dad?
01:36What are you doing here?
01:40Chelsea is picking me up at three.
01:41Oh, she still is.
01:42I just, uh, I just wanted to check in on you.
01:46Don't worry.
01:47Danny's not here, I swear.
01:49I know he's not.
01:50It's not about him.
01:51I just wanted to see how you were doing.
01:55You seemed kind of quiet when I dropped you off for practice.
01:57Yeah, I didn't really talking.
02:00Or maybe you thought I didn't want to hear what you had to say.
02:03You don't.
02:09Try me.
02:11Why bother?
02:12We've been over this a million times.
02:15I love my brother and want to spend time with him.
02:18I know you do.
02:20And not agreeing with you is not the same thing as not hearing you.
02:25But I'm not changing my mind.
02:28I realize it may not seem like this, but I am not doing this to hurt you.
02:32I am only doing what's best for you.
02:39Come on in.
02:42Oh, it's okay that I just stopped by?
02:44You said if I ever needed to talk.
02:46Yeah, you can stop by any time you want.
02:48What's on your mind?
02:50Charlotte.
02:51Yeah.
02:52She's moving in with her father.
02:55Why is that?
02:56Because her dad lets her do whatever she wants.
02:59I'm sure your mom's not too thrilled about that.
03:03She's trying to act like everything's fine, but I can tell she's really upset by it.
03:08And I think it's partly my fault.
03:10How do you figure?
03:12I think my mom agreed to let her move in with her dad
03:14because Charlotte and I haven't been getting along lately.
03:17My mom's always trying to protect me.
03:20She probably thinks R not getting along is upsetting me or something.
03:26Yeah, but do you think I rely on my parents too much to solve my problems?
03:31Quinn mentioned there's going to be a party today at Kings Beach.
03:33You want to go?
03:34A lot of the guys from the team will be there.
03:36I haven't seen them in a while.
03:37It'll be cool to catch up.
03:39I'm not really up for a party, but you should definitely go and hang out with your friends.
03:44You'll have more fun without me.
03:46Not as much fun.
03:48At first time.
03:50So I'm guessing you and Gio will be working late, you know, trying to nail down your song.
03:55Yeah, probably.
03:58But also...
03:59What is it?
04:01I'm worried about my dad.
04:03You really screwed up this time.
04:05I know you're embarrassed about what happened to Nina's, but the kids were the slightest bit upset.
04:09They woke up bright and early and went off to camp without a hitch.
04:12Good, but I'm upset.
04:13There's no need to be.
04:15While he asked one question about why you were acting so strange last night, I told him you were just
04:19tired because you've been working so hard.
04:21That's all I needed to hear.
04:22Get out of the rest, Michael.
04:23I'm done with your lies.
04:25I should probably go.
04:26No, stay right where you are.
04:27I want you here as a witness.
04:29A witness for what?
04:30You're not making any sense.
04:31Michael had his girlfriend drug me, and I can prove it.
04:38Kids always need their parents, and then when they grow older, it becomes a two-way street.
04:46Does my dad ever reach out to you for help?
04:48Yeah, he comes to me, you know, for advice.
04:51I go to him for advice, because that's what families do.
04:54They're there for each other.
04:57I guess, but I feel like I rely on my mom and dad way too much.
05:01If I had just been stronger...
05:03Yeah, well, this has nothing to do with strength.
05:06The strongest person needs help sometimes.
05:09Yeah, but not all the time.
05:12Don't minimize what you've been through.
05:15You put your mother and father through a lie.
05:17It's going to take a while for them to get over it.
05:20Your mom being a little overprotective right now,
05:23but she made the decision to let your sister move in with her father.
05:29That's not on you.
05:35Thanks for trying to make me feel better, Grandpa,
05:37but I just feel like I screwed everything up.
05:38You didn't screw anything.
05:40There's nothing you screwed up.
05:41You understand me?
05:45Don't you ever forget
05:48that you saved two lives by shooting Cuckoo.
05:54You hold on to that.
05:58Danny's my brother.
06:00How can keeping us apart be what's best for me?
06:03He's always looked out for me.
06:06Especially since Mom died.
06:09I know you miss your mom.
06:11And I know Danny does too.
06:13But your brother expresses his feelings through reckless behavior.
06:17It's not the way you make it sound.
06:20And it's not that big of a deal.
06:22Yeah, it is.
06:22What about the time he picked you up from Lila's kids?
06:25Without telling him he took you over in the quarter means
06:27how'd you ride on the back of his bike that is dangerous?
06:30You could have been hurt or worse.
06:32I know, Dad, but I...
06:33Your brother may mean well,
06:35but he doesn't think.
06:37It's not like...
06:39It's not like I hate him for it.
06:41In fact, if anything, I feel sorry for him
06:43because he's got a father that doesn't love him enough
06:45to set limits.
06:46Jason just lets his son run wild.
06:50And that's dangerous.
06:52And I love you too much
06:55to put you in danger.
06:59Now I just need to focus on attacking my rehab.
07:02That is so excellent, Isaiah.
07:04We're still a long way off from being able to operate.
07:08But there's no remaining physical deficit to prevent it.
07:13Well, if recovery is predicated on hard work,
07:16it'll happen.
07:17No one works harder than you.
07:20All I know for sure
07:21is I'm going to do whatever it takes
07:23to regain the mobility in my hand.
07:27I'm so relieved.
07:29You're such an excellent surgeon.
07:32I couldn't stand the fact of you
07:34never being able to operate again.
07:39Especially when I know
07:40that what happened to you,
07:41it's because of me.
07:44I understand
07:45why you didn't tell anyone
07:47that Valentine was there
07:48in the end of the accident.
07:51Well, I mean,
07:52telling the cop seemed like a messed up way
07:54of repaying his kindness.
07:57I wasn't going to tell you either
07:58because it seemed like
07:59you already had enough going on.
08:02Well, I'm just glad Valentine was there
08:05because I know you wouldn't have stopped trying
08:07no matter how bad the flames got.
08:09You would have never left heavy.
08:13Damn straight.
08:15You know,
08:16we may have gotten out physically.
08:30Our wounds may have healed.
08:51But that trauma,
08:54that trauma's real
08:55and it's still there.
08:58just hoping the jury rules
09:00in my favor
09:01so we can finally put
09:03that night behind us.
09:04I want that too.
09:07Your grandpa told us
09:08that the jury's deliberating right now.
09:09How could you not be thinking
09:11about your dad?
09:11Because I'm trying really hard not to.
09:15I promised
09:15my parents
09:17and myself
09:18that I would
09:19make an effort
09:20not to obsess over them.
09:23That's why
09:23I listened to my dad
09:24when he asked me
09:25not to go to the trial
09:26and
09:27I'm just trying really hard
09:28to focus on my things.
09:29It still sounds like
09:30you're feeling guilty
09:31about being worried.
09:32I don't want to be what I am.
09:34And I wish that
09:35I could really just take your advice
09:36and just
09:37live my life.
09:38I want that too.
09:40I do.
09:41But
09:41look,
09:42your parents are always
09:43going to be an important
09:44part of your life.
09:45And I know that.
09:47And I just don't want you
09:48to ever,
09:49ever feel like
09:50you have to hide
09:50your feelings for me,
09:51whatever they are.
09:52I don't feel like
09:53I have to,
09:53I promise.
09:57I'm just so grateful
09:58to you for showing me
09:59how much I was
10:01letting my parents'
10:02conflict
10:02consume me.
10:04Okay,
10:04so talk to me now.
10:06What's bothering you?
10:13I'm
10:14I'm worried about my dad
10:16going to prison.
10:19And those were words
10:20I ever thought
10:21I'd say.
10:25And now all I keep
10:27thinking about
10:27is the jury
10:28finding him guilty.
10:29Hey,
10:31we just have to believe
10:32that that will not happen.
10:33Okay?
10:36I have no idea
10:37what you're talking about
10:38and drug you below.
10:40You may not have,
10:41but your hooker
10:42girlfriend did.
10:44I knew something
10:45wasn't right this morning.
10:47And so I went to
10:47GH and had my blood drawn.
10:50Whatever you had
10:51host me with
10:51will show up
10:52in the labs.
10:53So from now on,
10:54the kids will be
10:55staying with me.
10:56If you try to fight me
10:57on this,
10:57we can go to court.
10:58I will use this incident.
11:00I will.
11:00And the power of my office
11:02to make sure that you
11:02never see our children again.
11:04Guys.
11:06I'm supposed to meet
11:07Trina and Kaia Box.
11:08They're probably
11:09wondering where I am.
11:14You really want to
11:15take me back to court?
11:18Didn't you just admit
11:19you were on drugs
11:19last night?
11:20Because
11:21Jacinda
11:21spiked
11:22my coffee.
11:25Coffee
11:25that Wiley
11:27almost drank.
11:31I just want to be able
11:32to spend time
11:32with my family.
11:34I know you do.
11:35My whole family, Dad.
11:36I know.
11:38But sometimes
11:39what you want
11:40isn't what's best for you
11:41and I'm your father
11:42and part of being your father
11:43is to guide you
11:44and protect you
11:45and I couldn't do that
11:47when I was locked in
11:49in that wheelchair
11:50but I can do it now
11:52and I will.
11:56Grandma Alexis?
11:58She thinks I'm safe
11:59around Danny.
12:00Well, of course she does.
12:02She's Danny's grandmother too.
12:05She wants what's best
12:06for both of you
12:07but only you
12:09are my daughter
12:11and so I only have to worry
12:13about what's best for you.
12:15You understand that, right?
12:19I do.
12:21How do you feel
12:22about Charlotte moving on?
12:26It's a relief
12:27in a way.
12:30I've been doing my best
12:31to try and avoid her
12:32but I was handling it
12:34and my mom didn't have
12:35to let Charlotte
12:35go live with her dad.
12:37What about your sister?
12:38You guys aren't getting along.
12:41She thinks I take things
12:42too seriously.
12:44I need to lighten up
12:45and be more fun.
12:47Well, you've been through a lot.
12:48I mean, you're gonna
12:48you're gonna lie low
12:49for a while, right?
12:51I just want to give my parents
12:52a break from having to worry
12:53about me so much.
12:54They're not gonna ever
12:56stop worrying about you
12:57because they love you
12:58just like I love you.
13:01You got to trust yourself.
13:04Just like I trust you.
13:07You trust me?
13:11You got a great head
13:12on your shoulders.
13:14I wish I had your judgment
13:16when I was your age.
13:20Thanks, Grandpa.
13:24Curtis did this to me.
13:26Not you.
13:28He only did that
13:29because you're involved
13:30with me.
13:31Ever since I dragged you
13:33into this domestic disaster,
13:36I feel like your life
13:37has been kind of
13:38one crisis after the other.
13:40Yeah.
13:41Pusha, you didn't drag me anywhere.
13:42I was and am
13:45a very willing participant.
13:48I love you and Dez.
13:50The two of you
13:52have made my heart
13:53grow so much fuller.
13:55However we started,
13:57the two of us,
13:59we found something real.
14:02Something precious.
14:04Somehow we really did.
14:06Yeah.
14:07And any aggression,
14:08animosity,
14:09your hostility
14:10is coming from Curtis
14:11and nowhere else.
14:13Yeah, but
14:15Curtis is always
14:16going to be a part
14:16of Dez's life.
14:18Which means he's always
14:19going to be a part
14:20of our life.
14:21So, face it,
14:23Isaiah.
14:24We're stuck with him.
14:26Unless Curtis goes to prison,
14:28there's not much
14:29she can do from there.
14:30Why did Valentina
14:32ask to meet with you?
14:33He wanted to talk
14:34about Sidwell's holdings,
14:35which are going up
14:36for auction
14:37now that he's taken a plea
14:38and headed for prison.
14:39Wow.
14:41You know,
14:41to take a plea deal,
14:43Sidwell must have known
14:44he was in some serious trouble.
14:46He was.
14:46And now that he's been
14:47taken off the board,
14:49Valentin's interested
14:50in acquiring
14:50some of his holdings.
14:51So he asked me
14:53to point out
14:54which companies
14:54had the most potential.
14:56Smart of him to ask.
14:57You know Sidwell's
14:59legitimate business
15:00is forwards
15:01and backwards.
15:02I do.
15:03And Valentin's interest
15:05crystallized for me
15:06how my knowledge
15:07of those companies
15:08could be quite lucrative.
15:11So,
15:11after I gave him
15:12a few tips,
15:13I told him
15:14if he was interested
15:16in hearing more,
15:17he could hire me
15:18as a consultant.
15:21So you're working
15:22for Valentin now.
15:23He made me an offer,
15:25but I haven't decided
15:26to accept it yet.
15:28But if I play
15:29my cards right,
15:30I could end up
15:31with an even better job
15:33than I had with Sidwell.
15:35something with
15:37CEO potential
15:38down the line.
15:42Are you sure
15:43you want to use
15:43your association
15:44with Sidwell
15:46to do that?
15:50I left my
15:52sheet music
15:52over at the
15:53quartermains.
15:53I ran over there
15:54to get
15:54bad,
15:55pick it up.
15:57Right after I got there,
15:58Willow blew in,
15:59got on Michael's face
16:01and accused him
16:01of drugging her.
16:02What?
16:03I know,
16:04it was weird,
16:06it was crazy.
16:06Is that something
16:07that Michael
16:07would even do?
16:08I have no idea.
16:10I just wanted
16:11out of there.
16:12But before I left,
16:15Willow threatened Michael.
16:16He'd never see
16:17his kids again.
16:20If Miley
16:20had ingested
16:22any of that drug,
16:24he could have OD'd.
16:26Our son could have
16:27died.
16:28Or I could have
16:29gotten behind
16:29the wheel of a car
16:30to take the kids
16:31somewhere and who knows
16:31what could have happened.
16:33Michael,
16:34you put our
16:34children's lives
16:35at risk.
16:36I would never
16:36drug you
16:37when you know it.
16:39Willow,
16:40I think,
16:40I think we both
16:41just need to
16:42take a breath here.
16:43All right,
16:44if you want to
16:44take the kids
16:44for the rest of the week,
16:45fine,
16:46that's fine.
16:46You can pick them up
16:47from camp today,
16:47I won't fight you on it.
16:48Because you know
16:49I'll win.
16:49No,
16:50because of Wiley.
16:53Hey,
16:53Curtis.
16:54Jordan?
16:55True.
16:58I really want
16:59to thank you
16:59for your testimony.
17:00Oh,
17:01I just hope it helps.
17:03That's what we're all hoping.
17:05And it's really great
17:06to see you up and about.
17:07I'm so happy
17:08to see your recovery.
17:09Oh,
17:09I appreciate you saying
17:10that.
17:10I am so happy
17:12to be out of that
17:13wheelchair,
17:13and I,
17:14uh,
17:15I'm ready to make up
17:16for lost time.
17:18Well,
17:19I just came
17:20from the courthouse.
17:21I'm assuming
17:21that you heard
17:22about Sidwell.
17:22Yes,
17:23I did.
17:24Uh,
17:24he took the deal
17:2626 years minimum.
17:27Yeah,
17:28still,
17:28he did himself
17:29a favor by pleading out
17:30if any of those cases
17:31had gone to trial,
17:32Molly would have
17:32given him life
17:33without any
17:34concurrent anything.
17:35She would have
17:36nailed him,
17:37and you know what?
17:38Now we don't get
17:38a chance to see that.
17:40Yeah,
17:41but there,
17:41there is a silver lining.
17:44Sidwell's U.S. assets
17:45officially were put up
17:47on the auction block.
17:49I got my eye
17:50on many of
17:51Sidwell's holdings.
17:53What does
17:54the competition
17:54look like?
17:56Well,
17:57there have been
17:57inquiries
17:58from several people,
18:00including
18:00poor Charles'
18:02very own
18:02miracle man,
18:03Drew Kane.
18:04That,
18:04that's a problem.
18:07So you admit
18:08Wiley's better off
18:10with me?
18:10No,
18:11that's not what I meant.
18:12I don't know
18:13what you remember
18:14about last night,
18:15but for the first time
18:16in a long time,
18:17you weren't antagonistic
18:19towards me.
18:20A clear sign
18:21I wasn't in my right mind.
18:27You said that
18:28you missed being friends.
18:31I do too.
18:33I,
18:34I hate
18:34all this animosity
18:35between us.
18:40I never wanted it
18:42this way.
18:44The saddest part
18:45last night was
18:47when we told
18:48the kids
18:48that the four of us
18:49can go on a trip
18:50together.
18:50I will never
18:51forget Wiley's face.
18:53He was so happy.
18:55It made me realize
18:56how hard this has been
18:57on our son.
18:59It's been hard
19:00on Amelia too.
19:03I know.
19:04I know,
19:04but she's younger.
19:05She doesn't have
19:06any memories
19:06of us being married.
19:08Wiley,
19:08Wiley does.
19:10He remembers us
19:12as a family.
19:12He misses that.
19:15Which is why
19:15we have to do better.
19:16We're well.
19:18I don't even know
19:19if you're being
19:20sincere right now.
19:22That's how little
19:23I trust you.
19:24Okay,
19:24but take the kids
19:24for the rest of the week.
19:26Move things over,
19:27okay?
19:27Think about what's
19:28changed,
19:29what hasn't.
19:30We both love
19:31these kids.
19:34Trust that.
19:37You're worried
19:38about Drew.
19:39Drew is a
19:41complication
19:41because he doesn't
19:42act like a businessman.
19:43Everything's personal.
19:45He just wants
19:46to come after me,
19:47Rick.
19:48Okay,
19:49maybe so,
19:50but I don't think
19:50Drew needs
19:51an ulterior motive
19:52to be interested
19:53in Sidwell's holdings.
19:54Look,
19:55Sidwell used
19:56his personal assets
19:57to fund his
19:58illegal activities,
19:59but he also,
20:00Sonny,
20:00created an incredible
20:02infrastructure.
20:03I mean,
20:03the piers,
20:04shipping companies,
20:05those are all
20:05very lucrative assets
20:06that are going to
20:07attract a lot of attention.
20:09So you really believe
20:10that Drew's motives
20:11are legit,
20:12Rick?
20:12Come on.
20:13I believe
20:13that Drew
20:15has lost a lot.
20:17Okay,
20:18he started Aurora
20:18and Michael took that
20:20from him.
20:20He has no say
20:21in that company
20:21and he's also been
20:23on the odds
20:23with the LQ
20:24for years.
20:25Maybe Drew
20:26just wants
20:27something that's his.
20:29What he wants
20:31is what's mine.
20:33I've been going
20:34over Sidwell's list
20:35of assets
20:36up for auction
20:37and it's a very
20:38impressive list
20:40of holdings
20:40and the infrastructure
20:42he set up
20:42in Port Charles.
20:43It's going to give me
20:44a real leg up.
20:45Well,
20:45you're going to have
20:45competition.
20:47But the rumors are
20:47that Sonny's also
20:48interested.
20:50I bet he wants
20:50his peers back.
20:51Among other things.
20:53Well,
20:53he's not going to get it
20:54because if Sonny
20:55gets to dwell his assets,
20:57then the violence
20:57in Port Charles
20:58is just going to continue.
20:59The best thing
21:00for everybody
21:01is if Sonny
21:02decided to leave town.
21:04But since he's
21:04too stubborn
21:05to do that,
21:07I'm going to do
21:08everything I can
21:09to marginalize him.
21:14Thought I might
21:14see you here today.
21:16I mean,
21:16since Danny's
21:17not working.
21:19Yeah.
21:23Are things
21:24any better
21:25with you, Matt?
21:26Do you think
21:27they are?
21:28Why?
21:31He gave me
21:32this whole speech
21:32about how he's
21:33doing what best
21:34for me.
21:36And when he was done,
21:37I said I understood.
21:38And you said you did,
21:39even though you didn't.
21:41Yeah, I understand
21:42just fine.
21:43I just
21:44don't agree with him.
21:46I do the same
21:47for my parents.
21:48Like, I know
21:48they love me,
21:49but
21:50sometimes doing
21:51what they want
21:52means not always
21:53doing what feels
21:54right to me.
21:55At least sometimes.
21:57For me,
21:58it feels like that
22:00all the time.
22:01After a lifetime
22:02of working
22:03in law enforcement,
22:05I enjoyed
22:06working for Sidwell
22:07in the private sector
22:08much more
22:09than I expected.
22:11I took the job
22:12to gain intel
22:13on Sidwell,
22:13but really kept
22:15to appreciate
22:16the work
22:16and not
22:18to mention
22:19the big paycheck.
22:20Well,
22:22you should be compensated
22:23for what you're worth.
22:24Any company
22:25would be lucky
22:26to have you,
22:28including Aurora.
22:29You know,
22:30I was serious
22:30about finding
22:31a place for you.
22:32And I appreciate it,
22:33but
22:34I want to build
22:35something
22:35of my own.
22:37Something based
22:38on my own merit.
22:39Well, for the record,
22:40I never would have
22:41offered you the job
22:42if I didn't think
22:43you were qualified.
22:44but
22:45I do understand.
22:47So,
22:48if the call
22:49is yours,
22:49do you want
22:50to work for
22:50a big company
22:52like ELQ
22:52or a smaller company
22:55where you can
22:57impact policy changes?
23:00You
23:02are incredible.
23:06I just didn't
23:07think you would be
23:08interested in
23:09talking about this.
23:10Why wouldn't I be?
23:13Because right now,
23:14there are
23:1512 jurors
23:16deciding whether
23:17or not to
23:17send you to prison.
23:20So,
23:21do you think
23:21that Curtis
23:22is going to be
23:22found guilty?
23:25I have to believe
23:26that he'll be
23:26held responsible
23:27for what he did.
23:28Although,
23:29you think
23:30after receiving
23:31the good news
23:32about my hand
23:32that I'd be
23:33put more lenient
23:34towards him?
23:36Well,
23:36I don't think
23:37that you should.
23:38He caused you
23:39all kinds of
23:39pain and suffering.
23:41He lost control
23:42and possibly
23:43could have cost you
23:44your medical career.
23:46So,
23:46I stand by
23:47everything that I said
23:48on that witness stand.
23:50Do you?
23:52The only thing
23:53I regret
23:53is getting heated
23:54up there.
23:55But I know
23:56I told the truth.
23:58That's all
23:58you can do.
24:00Whatever the jury
24:01decides,
24:01that's on them.
24:02It's not on us.
24:05What do you
24:06hope to say?
24:08Guilty or not guilty?
24:10I am so sorry.
24:12I will fix this
24:14ASAP.
24:17Perhaps we could
24:18find a full-page
24:19ad in our
24:20next issue?
24:22No,
24:22we would be
24:23more than happy
24:24to do that.
24:25I just want to
24:26say again,
24:27thank you
24:28for being
24:29so understanding.
24:31Great.
24:31We'll be in touch.
24:34What's wrong, Mom?
24:35Well,
24:36apparently,
24:36I,
24:37this was one of
24:38Crimson's
24:39biggest advertisers
24:40and I had a
24:41huge meeting
24:42with them.
24:45Michael,
24:45let me come.
24:46Are you?
24:47Sorry, guys,
24:47I'm running
24:48to an appointment.
24:48Does this have
24:49anything to do
24:49with Willow?
24:52Look,
24:53Gio said
24:53Willow accused
24:54you of
24:54checking her.
24:55Did you?
24:57No,
24:58I did not.
25:01Gio also said
25:02that Willow's
25:02trying to take
25:03your kids away
25:03from you.
25:05They can help
25:06you stop her.
25:09I have been
25:09jumping out
25:10of my skin
25:11waiting for
25:11the jury
25:11to come back.
25:13Me too.
25:15I am expecting
25:16a not guilty
25:17verdict.
25:18It is the only
25:18way I can move
25:19forward.
25:22I can't even
25:23imagine the
25:23alternative.
25:25I knew it was
25:26a risk to turn
25:27down the plea
25:27deal and take
25:28it to court,
25:29but every time
25:31I look at Des,
25:32I know I did
25:32the right thing.
25:33Des needs
25:34his father.
25:35And I need
25:36him.
25:38Honey,
25:39how can I
25:41miss years
25:41of my son's
25:42life?
25:43If Curtis
25:44is convicted,
25:46it'll destroy
25:47Trina,
25:48Marshall,
25:49and Stella,
25:49and I don't
25:50want to hurt
25:50any of them.
25:53But if he's
25:53acquitted,
25:55he's going to
25:56do everything
25:56in his power
25:57to keep you
25:58away from Des.
25:59And that's
26:00a huge problem
26:01for me.
26:02Because I want
26:03you here.
26:03I want you
26:04with me.
26:05And I've
26:05told Curtis
26:06he has no
26:06say in our
26:07relationship.
26:08Curtis will
26:09never accept
26:09that.
26:10That's why
26:11I'm worried.
26:12I'm worried
26:13that he's
26:13going to
26:13pressure me
26:15and use the
26:15baby as a
26:16bargaining chip.
26:18You and
26:18Curtis have a
26:19custody agreement.
26:21You think
26:21he'll take you
26:22to court to
26:22change it?
26:24My dad
26:24doesn't get it.
26:25He doesn't want
26:26me to see
26:27my grandmother
26:27or Aunt
26:28Molly.
26:29And
26:30definitely
26:30not Danny.
26:32Feels like
26:33the only
26:33person I'm
26:34allowed to
26:35see is
26:36Chelsea.
26:37I'm way too
26:38old for a
26:38babysitter.
26:40At least you
26:40get to spend
26:41more time with
26:41your dad
26:42and know
26:42that he's
26:42healthy again.
26:44Not really.
26:46He's busy
26:46with his own
26:47stuff.
26:48I'm sorry.
26:49Sounds
26:49kind of lonely.
26:53I wish I
26:53was more
26:54like Charlotte
26:54and Danny
26:56and let
26:56anyone stop
26:57them from
26:57doing what
26:58they want.
26:59That's because
26:59they're selfish.
27:01You're not
27:02and don't ever
27:02feel bad about
27:03that.
27:05Well,
27:07at least I
27:07still have my
27:08swimming.
27:09Yeah.
27:09How's the
27:09training going?
27:11Really good.
27:15I'm trying to
27:15keep my lap
27:16time down,
27:17but it's
27:18kind of hard
27:18to time
27:18myself.
27:22things are
27:23pretty slow
27:23right now.
27:24I could
27:25time you.
27:26Are you
27:27sure?
27:27We'll get you
27:27in trouble.
27:28I'll risk
27:29it.
27:32I want
27:33Sidwell's
27:34assets to
27:35help move
27:35my business
27:36in a more
27:36legitimate
27:37direction,
27:39but I'm
27:39a little bit
27:40at a
27:40disadvantage
27:41right now.
27:42Well,
27:42how so?
27:43Well,
27:43because,
27:44you know,
27:44on the
27:45surface,
27:46Drew seems
27:46legit,
27:48but he's
27:48a lot more
27:49connected to
27:50the business
27:50world than
27:51I am.
27:52Yeah,
27:52maybe.
27:54Look,
27:54if you've
27:55got any
27:56residual worry
27:57about friction
27:58between me
27:59and Jason,
27:59let that go.
28:00I promise,
28:01I will do
28:02everything on
28:02my part to
28:03keep things
28:03civil between
28:04us.
28:04That's not
28:05a problem,
28:05Rick.
28:07Jason,
28:08quit.
28:11What?
28:14Or for
28:15good?
28:16Hasn't he's
28:16done?
28:17As far as
28:18my business,
28:19yeah.
28:20And I'm
28:20very disappointed
28:21I ran
28:22and I get
28:22into it,
28:23but I,
28:23uh,
28:24I respect
28:26his reasoning
28:27for getting
28:28out.
28:28Which is?
28:30he wants
28:30to be
28:31their first
28:31son and
28:32be the
28:33father that
28:33he never
28:34could be.
28:36I'm sure
28:37you're relieved
28:37you don't have
28:38to work with
28:38Jason.
28:40Actually,
28:41I'm not
28:41relieved.
28:42I'm just
28:42the opposite.
28:44Okay,
28:45let me get
28:45this straight.
28:46Michael let
28:46you have
28:47the kids
28:47even though
28:48it wasn't
28:48your days?
28:50What's his
28:51angle?
28:52No angle.
28:54Michael's just
28:54a realist
28:55and he knows
28:56when he's
28:56been beaten
28:57and he knows
28:58that the
28:59blood tests
28:59will prove
28:59that his
29:00hooker
29:00girlfriend
29:01drugged me.
29:02Putting your
29:03life and the
29:03lives of your
29:04children in
29:04jeopardy.
29:05Exactly.
29:06And what
29:07kind of judge
29:07would leave
29:08kids with
29:09Michael after
29:09that?
29:11Well,
29:11you're probably
29:12right,
29:14but we do
29:15need to be
29:15cautious,
29:16Willow.
29:17I mean,
29:17he's making
29:17an effort
29:18letting you
29:19have the
29:19children.
29:20So now
29:21you're in
29:21a position
29:21of power.
29:23You can
29:23ask for
29:23vacation times
29:25with the
29:25kids,
29:25you can
29:26ask for
29:26holidays.
29:27Why would
29:27I settle
29:28for that?
29:28Michael
29:29wouldn't if
29:29you were
29:30in my
29:30position.
29:30But you
29:31don't want
29:31to put
29:31Michael
29:32in a
29:32place
29:32where he
29:33has
29:33nothing
29:33left
29:33to lose.
29:34But he
29:34drugged
29:35me.
29:38I
29:38understand
29:39that,
29:39but
29:39Willow,
29:40things have
29:41gotten out
29:42of control
29:43and if
29:43you don't
29:44reach
29:44lasting peace
29:45with
29:45Michael,
29:46things are
29:46going to
29:47escalate
29:47until something
29:48truly tragic
29:50happens.
29:51Do you want
29:52that?
29:53Oh, I know
29:54you're a
29:54congressional
29:55intern guy.
29:55Did you see
29:56Will neglecting
29:57the kids in
29:57some way?
29:58No, no.
29:58Willow is
29:59always great
29:59with Wiley
30:00and Amelia.
30:00It's pretty
30:01obvious that
30:01she loves
30:02them a lot.
30:02This isn't
30:03about what
30:03Willow
30:03did to the
30:04kids.
30:04It's
30:05about
30:05what
30:05Willow
30:05did
30:05to
30:06Drew.
30:06Willow
30:07shot
30:07Drew.
30:11And we
30:11know she
30:11did.
30:13Because we
30:14were there.
30:17Michael
30:18has nothing
30:18left to use
30:19against me.
30:20So I'm
30:21going to
30:21pick up
30:22Wiley
30:22and Amelia
30:22from camp
30:23today and
30:24then they'll
30:24be back
30:24living with
30:25me full
30:26time.
30:26And then
30:26I'll look
30:27for a new
30:28house for
30:28us and
30:28the kids
30:29and I
30:29will make
30:29it a
30:29home
30:29together.
30:31And
30:32Michael?
30:33I would
30:34never cut
30:35Michael out
30:36of their
30:36lives the
30:36way he
30:37did to
30:37me.
30:37He is
30:38their
30:38father and
30:39the kids
30:39would miss
30:39him terribly.
30:40But he
30:41is only
30:41going to
30:42see them
30:42on my
30:43terms.
30:45Okay,
30:45sounds
30:45wonderful.
30:46It does,
30:47doesn't it?
30:48I have
30:48been on the
30:49defensive for
30:49so long,
30:50but soon my
30:51kids will be
30:52with me and
30:53I will be
30:54the one
30:54making the
30:55decisions from
30:55now on.
30:56Moments
30:57after we heard
30:57the shots,
30:58we heard
30:58something else.
30:59a song,
31:00Twinkle,
31:01Twinkle,
31:01Little Star.
31:02It wasn't until
31:03we were in the
31:03court after
31:04closing arguments
31:05that we heard
31:06the song again.
31:09And we saw
31:09Willow pick up
31:10a call from
31:11Wiley and we
31:12realized that
31:12Twinkle,
31:13Twinkle,
31:13Little Star
31:13was the ringtone
31:14that she had
31:15for him.
31:15And that's
31:16how we know
31:17that Willow
31:18was in the
31:19room with Drew
31:19that night.
31:20She was the
31:21one that
31:22shot Drew.
31:25Wiley must have
31:26called her right
31:27after she
31:27shot Drew.
31:29There's gonna be
31:30a record of
31:33what made
31:34you decide
31:35to come
31:35forward
31:35now?
31:37Gio
31:38said that
31:38Willow
31:39was gonna
31:39take you
31:39to court
31:40and make
31:40sure that
31:41you never
31:41see Wiley
31:42and Amelia
31:43and Amelia
31:44And we
31:44couldn't
31:44let that
31:44happen.
31:45Willow
31:46has been
31:46out of
31:47control
31:47lately.
31:48And so
31:49it's not
31:49in their
31:49best interest
31:50to be
31:50living with
31:51her full
31:51time.
31:52So we're
31:52ready to
31:52go public
31:54and tell
31:55everyone
31:56that Willow
31:57got away
31:57with attempted
31:57murder.
31:58That won't
31:59be necessary.
32:03I know
32:04a better
32:04way to
32:05give us
32:05all
32:05what we
32:05want.
32:07Look
32:07Tony.
32:09The one
32:10thing that
32:11I can say
32:12positive about
32:13Jason is that
32:14he always
32:14kept you
32:14safe.
32:15I don't
32:15like the
32:16idea of
32:16you being
32:17out there
32:17without
32:17protection.
32:18I
32:19appreciate
32:20that Rick.
32:21I can
32:22take care
32:22of myself
32:23and the
32:24longer time
32:25passes
32:25we won't
32:27have to
32:27worry about
32:28that.
32:29Hey, why
32:30is that?
32:30Are you
32:31going to
32:31replace
32:31him with
32:32somebody?
32:32No, no.
32:35I'm
32:36getting out
32:36also.
32:39What?
32:40You?
32:41Wait a
32:42minute, when?
32:42How?
32:43I am
32:44transitioning
32:44as we speak.
32:46I've been
32:46thinking about
32:46it for a
32:47long time.
32:48Same
32:48family
32:49reasons
32:49that
32:50Jason
32:51had.
32:53And don't
32:54worry, your
32:54billable hours
32:55will not be
32:56cut.
32:57I'm not
32:58worried about
32:59that.
33:01Well, maybe
33:03not a lot.
33:06Good for you,
33:08Sonny.
33:12But you're
33:13going to take
33:14Jason's place
33:15in some
33:16areas.
33:20Sonny,
33:21um,
33:24if your
33:25past or
33:26your enemies
33:27come looking
33:28for you,
33:28I mean,
33:29I'm probably
33:30not the guy
33:30you want
33:31standing in
33:31front of you
33:32unless it's
33:33a human
33:33shield type
33:34of situation,
33:34which,
33:35personally,
33:36I'd like to
33:36avoid.
33:38I'm not
33:38talking about
33:39that.
33:39I'm talking
33:40about I need
33:40somebody to be
33:41straight with
33:41me.
33:42That's what
33:42Jason was.
33:45And since
33:45Jason's not
33:46here, the
33:47responsibility
33:47falls on
33:48you, I
33:49need you
33:50to tell me
33:51the truth.
33:52Not what I
33:52want to hear,
33:53but you
33:54tell me the
33:55truth.
33:55I need your
33:56input.
33:57You got it.
34:00all right,
34:00let's, uh,
34:02let's talk
34:02strategy as
34:05far as the
34:05option.
34:08What's going to
34:09be the best
34:09way for me to
34:10get everything
34:11that I want?
34:14and Drew to
34:16get nothing.
34:19Now that
34:20Jason is no
34:21longer working
34:21for Sonny,
34:22it's time.
34:24It's time for
34:25me to take
34:25down Sonny
34:26once and
34:26for all and
34:27getting Sid
34:28Wells assets.
34:29That's an
34:30important first
34:31step, Drew.
34:32I wouldn't be
34:33doing my job if
34:34I didn't remind
34:35you that somewhere
34:35out there in the
34:36world, there's a
34:37whole trail of
34:38bodies, the
34:39people who cross
34:39Sonny.
34:40Yeah, that's
34:40because he's an
34:41animal, but
34:42unlike Sonny, my
34:44holdings are all
34:45legitimate and I
34:46will use that
34:47against him.
34:51I'm not going to
34:51stop, Martin.
34:53I will not stop
34:55until Sonny is a
34:56broken man.
34:57You're like a
34:58fish.
34:59You keep getting
34:59faster and faster.
35:00Aren't you tired?
35:02Nope.
35:03I love being in
35:04the water.
35:05I can swim all
35:06day.
35:11hot out, right?
35:13Yeah.
35:14Maybe you should
35:15hop in the pool.
35:16I wish I could,
35:18but I'm on duty.
35:20Hmm.
35:23Hey.
35:24What's that?
35:26What?
35:29Whoa.
35:35Oops.
35:39I'll admit it.
35:40I'm worried Curtis
35:41is going to try to
35:41adjust the custody
35:42agreement.
35:44I mean, if he's
35:45found guilty, it
35:46would be impossible,
35:46but I feel guilty
35:50for even thinking
35:51this.
35:51Liz, Portia, I'm
35:53the one you're
35:54supposed to say
35:54your guilty stuff
35:55to.
35:58For me, it would
36:00be easier if Curtis
36:01was found guilty.
36:03I wouldn't have to
36:04constantly negotiate
36:05with him about Dez,
36:06and trust me,
36:06it would be constant.
36:07But I also know I
36:08don't want Curtis
36:09to be in prison.
36:10I mean, for our
36:11son and for Trina.
36:13She'll really feel
36:14his absence, and
36:15she'll suffer from
36:16it.
36:17And then visiting
36:18him in a prison
36:20visiting area,
36:22that will take away
36:23the joy that is
36:24in that girl.
36:27So, my kids
36:28take precedence.
36:29I just want
36:30what's best for
36:31them.
36:33Say you want,
36:34Curtis.
36:35to be acquitted?
36:42What's going on?
36:45Thanks for letting
36:46me know.
36:52Verdict's in.
36:54Curtis,
36:55forgive me.
36:55I apologize for
36:56you know what I think.
36:57I just heard from
36:57the courthouse.
36:59Jury's back with a
37:00verdict.
37:00Jury's back with you.
37:04I don't know what I
