00:00Come in.
00:05So it's true.
00:07You really did resign.
00:10Ten minutes and you would have missed me.
00:13Jordan, what's going on?
00:16Laura and I have had a few disagreements in private about her relationship with Sunny.
00:22And then Boyle put me on the spot in the middle of the press conference.
00:25I didn't feel like I could or should dodge his questions, so I gave my honest opinion.
00:32After that, it was either quit or Laura would have fired me for in subordination.
00:38Okay.
00:39I understand that's the story you're telling everybody.
00:42But I would like to hear the truth.
00:46Wow, Sunny, the place looks great.
00:49Looks like you've lived here all your life.
00:51Well, I had a little help.
00:52God, I hope so.
00:53This place is huge.
00:55I would have had it at the Quartermain house, but I would have had to put up with Tracy's non-stop complaining.
01:01I just didn't have it in me.
01:03Now, you know what?
01:03I'm happy to do it.
01:05And it's like I want to have more family gatherings.
01:09Willow and I share the cake so the boys don't eat it all before we sing happy birthday.
01:13I think that is very good thinking.
01:16You know, I can't believe I'm actually hugging you.
01:20Look at that smiling face.
01:22Uh, this really is a celebration.
01:26Oh, speaking of celebrating, where is the birthday boy?
01:30Why did you want to talk to me out here, then?
01:33I just wanted to see how you're doing.
01:36I'm good.
01:36Everything's good.
01:38We should go back inside.
01:39It's your party.
01:40Yeah, the party hasn't started yet.
01:41And it seemed like you were upset on the way over here.
01:44No.
01:45I'm good.
01:46See, I don't think I believe you, and it's my birthday, so you have to tell me what's going on.
01:49You can't out-stubber me today.
01:53It's Grandpa.
01:55I think about Michael all the time.
01:58How's he doing?
02:00Um, well, as well as can be expected.
02:03Skin grafts are taking really well.
02:05The doctors are really happy with his progress, and Michael is so motivated to come home.
02:10I just haven't had the heart to tell him that Willow and the kids are moving in with Drew.
02:15I mean, honestly, I've just been holding off because I really thought Willow was going to change her mind,
02:19but it turns out I don't know Willow at all.
02:22You didn't come over here to hear me rant, though, did you?
02:25I don't know.
02:26I just might join in.
02:27But I did have an ulterior motive for inviting myself over.
02:34Mac needs your help.
02:37Do you know who that was?
02:40Jason Morgan.
02:41But apparently you already know that.
02:42No, I mean, do you know who Jason Morgan is?
02:46Obviously he's not very happy with you, and Jason is not a guy you want to have a problem with.
02:52I know he's Sonny Carinthos' right-hand man.
02:55Why, are you on a first-name basis with him?
02:56Jason, he and my sister are very tight.
03:02He's actually here right now.
03:03I'll call you back.
03:05Hi, Lucas, are you looking for me?
03:07Uh, no, I just came to congratulate Marco on his new job.
03:11Oh, well, that's very nice of you.
03:14It's a little premature.
03:16Diane told you?
03:17The minute she found out.
03:19Told you what?
03:21Jen said Willow is my father.
03:23There you are.
03:27Are you ready?
03:27We gotta leave for Dante's party or we're gonna be late.
03:32Is everything okay?
03:34I'm not sure I'm in the right headspace for a party.
03:37Got a lot on my mind.
03:39No, like I told the other guy, I don't need a tow truck.
03:42I just need someone to come and change the tire.
03:45No, no, no.
03:45Do not put me on hold again.
03:46Well, howdy, ma'am.
03:53Anything I can do for you?
03:59I know Dante would be disappointed if we didn't go to his party, but I really need to talk to you.
04:05What's upsetting you?
04:07I'm not upset.
04:08I'm more preoccupied.
04:10I, uh, was talking to your mom earlier.
04:12Uh-uh.
04:13No, it was actually pretty good.
04:15While we were discussing Dante's possible reactions to finding out that he has a son,
04:19I just realized how bad I want to be a dad.
04:23Matt needs my help.
04:25Yeah, he is really worried about this upcoming referendum on Sonny.
04:31Well, technically we know it's about the best place for the esplanade.
04:36But we all know it comes down to the people of Port Charles deciding if they want Sonny's control of the ports to continue.
04:44And Mac's worried about the results.
04:47In a way, he thinks that this referendum makes Laura look bad.
04:53Like she's passing the buck to the voters instead of standing up to Sonny herself.
05:00Does Mac have a plan for Laura?
05:01Yes, he would like Sonny to accept what the voters decide and not fight it.
05:10If the voters decide to take Sonny's property, he's not going to say okay and not fight it.
05:15He won't.
05:16That's why you need to talk to him and convince him to do what's best for Laura.
05:23If anyone can get through to him, it's you.
05:27What do you mean?
05:28I am telling the truth.
05:29Jordan, you forget how well I know you.
05:32And I know there's got to be more to this story.
05:34You know I've always had a problem with Sonny.
05:37I saw his entire operation up close when I was working undercover.
05:40And we both know the man thinks he's above the law.
05:42I don't dispute that.
05:43Yeah, well, Laura knows all of that.
05:45And yet she still considers him a friend.
05:47And that's a problem for me.
05:48Okay, I understand that.
05:50But disagreeing with Laura and resigning from a job you love are two different things.
05:55I wasn't loving it, though.
05:56And I resented the fact that Sonny was a factor in every major decision the mayor's office made.
06:07Boyle opened the door when he put me on the spot.
06:10And I couldn't stop myself from walking through it.
06:13Jordan, you're one of the most self-controlled people I know.
06:16The only other time that I have seen you out of character like this is when you were working undercover.
06:22I'm gonna stop you right there.
06:25What are you doing here?
06:27Well, ah, this road borders the Quartermain's property.
06:32So we were just heading home back to the stables.
06:35Gonna get ready for Dante's party.
06:37And we came across a damsel in distress.
06:39Just a grown woman who is very annoyed at the garage she's been on hold with for 46 minutes now with no progress.
06:46That's not cool.
06:48Is it, uh, just a flat tire?
06:50Yeah, but, uh, yes, yes, yes, I'm still here.
06:53Oh, great!
06:54When?
06:55No, when are they coming?
06:58Oh, wait, wait, hi, just, no!
07:00Ah!
07:02Damn it!
07:03Okay, somebody is coming, but I think I heard the word hours.
07:09Well, that's ridiculous.
07:10You got a spare in the trunk?
07:12Yeah, but no, don't worry about that.
07:14You've got a party to get to, and I don't want to hold you up.
07:16Molly.
07:18I'm not gonna leave you stranded on the side of the road while I go off and eat cake.
07:21What kind of a person do you think I am?
07:24Actually, you know what?
07:25You don't need to answer that.
07:26All right, bud.
07:26I think you're a good guy who sometimes gets himself into bad situations.
07:33And I would be very grateful if you would change my tire, thank you.
07:36Awesome!
07:37Hold on a minute.
07:37No, I don't, I don't.
07:40Come on.
07:44Hey.
07:47Oh, wow, um, I was not expecting you to say that.
07:52You think you're surprised.
07:53I didn't know, and I just hired him.
07:55Apparently, he neglected to mention that in his job interview.
08:00Well, you two obviously have a lot to talk about.
08:02I'm gonna go.
08:03Before you go, there's something I would like to say to both of you.
08:07I didn't conceal anything.
08:09I didn't keep my father's name a secret, and I didn't lie to either of you.
08:13We went through a very extensive job interview, and neither you nor Diane asked about my parents.
08:19I'm just curious.
08:20Did you ask the other candidates for a family tree?
08:23Well, this, this has absolutely nothing to do with me.
08:26I'm so sorry for the interruption.
08:28I, I've got to go.
08:33Technically, you may not have lied, but there are such things as lies of omission.
08:39Are you rescinding the job offer?
08:41Hi, everyone.
08:44Oh, there they are.
08:45I'm bearing gifts.
08:46Oh, thank you so much.
08:50You're a lifesaver.
08:52Hey, Olivia.
08:52Uh-huh.
08:53Are Leo and Charlotte here?
08:55Oh, I'm sorry, honey.
08:56Leo's weekly theater group is meeting today.
08:58I didn't want to take him out of his routine.
09:00And Charlotte, some friends from school invited her to go to a movie, and I'm just so happy she's making friends.
09:04I went ahead and told her to go.
09:06I was pretty sure I knew Dante would understand.
09:08Oh, of course he does.
09:12Martin?
09:13Come on.
09:14Are you there?
09:14It's me, Lois.
09:16Martin.
09:17Lulu.
09:18Have you met Gio?
09:19This is my cousin, Camillus, and he also grew up in Bensonhurst.
09:22Oh, yes.
09:22We've, um, seen each other around and at the Quartermains once or twice.
09:26Oh, yeah?
09:26Have you heard him play the violin?
09:28He's amazing.
09:29You should rock with you.
09:30Ah.
09:34Where's Scout?
09:36She really wanted to come, but she had other plans with her dad.
09:39But I thought Dante was her dad.
09:40Yeah, Scout has two dads, and she's very lucky because they both love her a lot.
09:46Speaking of Dante, where is he?
09:48Uh, leaves out the patio with Rocco.
09:52All right, well, I will tell him everyone's here.
09:54But I wanted to show you the new desk Daddy got for my room.
09:57Yeah, you know what?
09:58She's very excited to show you this, so, uh, I'll go out.
10:02It's all right.
10:03All right.
10:04Let's see this desk.
10:05Come on.
10:08Wow, Laura's press conference was this morning.
10:09There's already this many negative comments?
10:11Yeah.
10:12The hashtag Monster Mayor is trending.
10:15My phone's blowing up.
10:17Wow, okay.
10:18Let's, uh, put that on silent again.
10:23Look, don't worry about your grandmother, okay?
10:26She, she's pretty tough.
10:28She can take care of herself.
10:29I mean, this, this is all politics.
10:31People keep talking about Grandma's link to Grandpa, and I'm the link.
10:35I'm the reason they spend so much time together.
10:37No, you're not.
10:38I mean, it has nothing to do with you.
10:40I mean, they're both going to be in my debate on Tuesday, and that's just going to make everything
10:44worse.
10:44Grandma always has one or two photographers following her, but if Grandpa's there, too,
10:48there will be a lot more.
10:50Well, yeah.
10:51I mean, I guess, I guess that is a possibility.
10:53I don't even want to go to my debate anymore if it's just going to make things worse for
10:57Grandma.
10:57Okay, don't talk like that, okay?
10:59You worked really hard on this thing, okay?
11:00So you can't drop out.
11:01And don't you have a debate partner?
11:03You can't bail on them, right?
11:04I don't know what else to do.
11:06Unless, unless what?
11:09Unless Grandpa doesn't go to my debate.
11:10Are you almost done?
11:15I think your horse is getting restless.
11:17Hades will be fine.
11:19Its name is Hades?
11:20Is it dangerous?
11:22Is that a warning?
11:23His name is Hades.
11:25And, I mean, he's a little high-spirited, but we just went for a good long run, so he'll
11:30be fine.
11:31His name's the horse Hades.
11:32Tracy.
11:34Probably reminded her of home.
11:37Well, I want to take it easy, though.
11:39If you're scared, he can sense it.
11:41The calmer you are, the calmer he'll be.
11:43Oh, good, yeah.
11:45Telling me my nervousness is making him nervous is a great way to calm me down.
11:49You'll be fine.
11:50Your, uh, your tire, on the other hand, won't.
11:53Thing's got a pretty good puncture in it.
11:56I forgot that needed to be fixed.
11:58Oh, well.
11:59On to plan B.
12:00Hey, regardless of who my father is, I'm still extremely qualified for the job you
12:05offered me, and I still bring the same extensive list of clients to your firm.
12:09I understand, but that means...
12:10My father has never had a criminal record.
12:12In fact, he's never been charged with a crime.
12:14The same can't be set for your firm's biggest clients.
12:18Sonny Corinthos and Jason Morgan.
12:21You have to admit, your client list is far more problematic than mine.
12:25Sonny and I are finally in a good place, you know?
12:31I mean, for the sake of our kids and my peace, I have no intention of butting back into his
12:36business.
12:37I don't blame you for not wanting to jump back in.
12:41And I know losing the peers after he's had them for so long would be a bitter pill for
12:46Sonny to swallow.
12:49Do you think that ultimately this could make Port Charles safer and more peaceful for everyone,
12:56including Sonny?
12:57What do you mean?
12:59Well, I was just wondering if he didn't own the peers anymore.
13:04Could this turn out to be a good thing for your family?
13:10Mom, Molly, and I had a noodle Buddha the other night.
13:14We watched a cheesy rom-com.
13:16It was a lot of fun.
13:17It was just something Molly and I planned as the perfect Davis girls' night.
13:22We were thinking of inviting you, but of course.
13:24It's okay.
13:25Sounds like you and Aunt Molly aren't fighting anymore.
13:29I'm surprised you knew about that.
13:31It was kind of hard to miss.
13:34Well, Molly and I are fine.
13:37We're always going to be fine, but now we're great.
13:38I'm glad.
13:41And, um, I know my mom would be too.
13:48Grandpa, that isn't what it sounded like.
13:50No, that's all right.
13:51You don't want me to go to the debate?
13:54I didn't mean it, Grandma.
13:56I'm sorry.
13:56Is that why you were so upset earlier?
13:58It doesn't matter.
14:00I shouldn't have sent anything.
14:01No, I mean, look, something's wrong with you or whatever.
14:05You want to talk about something, you can tell me anything, right?
14:07What's going on?
14:08It's not that I don't want you to come.
14:11I do.
14:12I love it when you come to my stuff.
14:14After Grandma's press conference earlier today, I'm worried it'll be bad for her if you two are seen together.
14:21Well, hey, what if we sit separately?
14:22Your mom and your grandma can sit together, and Grandpa and I will sit together on the other side of the room.
14:27No, Rocco's right.
14:28I think it's best for me to stay home.
14:30You can record it, right?
14:33Yeah, yeah, of course.
14:35Are you sure, Grandpa?
14:37Yeah, yeah, listen, I don't want to cause them any problems for Laura or for you, and I'm proud that you're looking out for your grandma.
14:49Thanks.
14:50I'm really sorry.
14:52I'll make it up to you.
14:53There's no need to bank it up.
15:02Sorry about that.
15:03You want me to talk to him?
15:06Come on.
15:06I'm proud of the kid.
15:08You know, he told me the truth, even though it was difficult for him.
15:11I'd love to be able to, you know, watch him and celebrate, but you'll have a video, and I'll watch.
15:19It's all good.
15:22You think if Sonny no longer controlled the docks, it would be a way for him to get out of the criminal aspect of his organization,
15:30that he could be a legitimate businessman?
15:32I know I may sound naive, but it's possible, isn't it?
15:38And think how great it would be for your kids.
15:40It would be, but I don't know if it's possible.
15:43People don't generally walk away from Sonny's business, Felicia.
15:47That's true, but you never know.
15:49And if it could happen, this eminent domain thing could turn out to be a blessing in disguise.
15:56Carly, you home?
15:58Yeah, I'm in the kitchen.
15:59You are not going to believe me.
16:02Oh, hi, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt.
16:05Oh, it's fine, Lucas.
16:06I need to get going anyway.
16:09Will you think about what we talked about?
16:11I will.
16:14It's nice to see you both.
16:15Thanks for the coffee.
16:16Yes.
16:20What's up?
16:21It's Jason.
16:23Is he gunning for Marco Rios?
16:26There's a big difference between doing something illegal
16:29and getting caught doing something illegal.
16:32Yes, I know.
16:34And a lot of times, that difference is a good lawyer.
16:37Frankly, the fact that you and Diane have managed to keep Sonny from being brought up on Rico charges
16:42is one of the many reasons why I admire this firm.
16:45You know, I've met your father.
16:48And my first impression of him was that he was charming and intelligent and completely ruthless.
16:55That sounds pretty accurate.
16:57You didn't disclose your relationship on purpose.
17:01You're right.
17:03But I thought you of all people would understand.
17:06Why is that?
17:07Before I applied here, I did my research.
17:12You're a Casadine, but you don't use their name.
17:15You've distanced yourself from your problematic family and their dark international reputation.
17:21I'm guessing you do that so that you are judged on your own merits.
17:25And that's what I really wanted to do.
17:29I appreciate you checking in on me, but if you still care about me at all,
17:34you will drop this subject and leave.
17:36Right now.
17:38What is going on, Jordan?
17:41Are you in trouble?
17:42Are you being blackmailed?
17:43No, no, I am not in any trouble.
17:45Then why won't you talk to me?
17:47Because I promised myself I would never lie to you again.
17:51Our marriage didn't work because I wasn't honest with you.
17:56I kept secrets.
17:58I lied to you.
17:59I convinced myself that I could keep my job separate from our marriage.
18:04I thought I was protecting you.
18:06You never have to protect me.
18:08Not then, not now.
18:09No.
18:10You need honesty.
18:12And you deserve it.
18:14But I couldn't give that to you back then, and I lost you because of it.
18:20It took a lot of work for us to get back to being friends.
18:24And I do not want to jeopardize that.
18:26So please, Curtis, just let this go.
18:31It is still really hard for me to accept the fact that I can't get you pregnant.
18:34I feel like, like I failed you.
18:41Breaks my heart.
18:43You were so wrong.
18:46The fact that you think that the extraordinary man that you are can be reduced to whether or not you could get me pregnant is crazy.
18:52You are more than any man I have ever met.
18:57All I want to do is be worthy of you.
18:59And most days I have to settle for an ace for effort because I don't think I'll ever really deserve you.
19:05How do you do it?
19:08How do you always manage to pick me up when I'm feeling down?
19:11Same way you do it for me.
19:13And all I want to do is think about our future together.
19:15Well, I'm finally ready to talk about that, too.
19:19I don't want my disappointment over us not being able to have a biological child stop us from moving forward with a child that we can have.
19:28I want to raise a kid with you.
19:32No matter what obstacles we have to face.
19:35So what do you think?
19:37You feel the same way?
19:38Well, I got a party to get to, so let's get moving on Plan B.
19:47Okay, so I will give you these.
19:49I'll wait for the tow truck.
19:50Thanks for trying.
19:51And tell Dante happy birthday.
19:54I'm sorry.
19:55You really think I'm going to leave you on the side of the road, especially when it's about to get dark?
19:59I think I'll be fine.
20:00You've got a party to get to, and I think you need to let Hades run or have a carrot or something.
20:05Well, you obviously know a lot about horses, which is good, because we happen to kind of have an obvious solution standing right here.
20:14Happy birthday to you.
20:19Happy birthday to you.
20:23Happy birthday, dear Dante.
20:28Happy birthday to you.
20:31Woo!
20:33Yay!
20:33Well, I can't think of a better way to spend my birthday than with my family.
20:44Which is fortunate for me, because none of my friends bothered to show up.
20:48Means more cake for us, right?
20:50That is right.
20:53Everything okay, honey?
20:54Yeah.
20:55I'm fine.
20:55Uh, no, but seriously, uh, I feel really lucky to have, uh, you all in my life.
21:04Uh, Michael, even going through what he's dealing with, called me today, and that's what this family does, is we show up, no matter what it entails.
21:12So, uh, thank you guys, I love you all, thank you.
21:18Emma, this is supposed to be a happy time, so no crying, okay?
21:21I know, I know, I can't help it.
21:23I just love this family so much.
21:25All right, I second that, now let's have some cake.
21:27Come on, okay?
21:28All right?
21:29Take a rest, don't cry.
21:34Nothing's changed.
21:35I still want to start a family with you, no matter how we do it.
21:38Well, the great thing is, there's still a lot of options.
21:40We just have to decide which one is right for us.
21:43Yeah, actually, I, um, I've been thinking a lot about it, and I would like to rule out IVF with a sperm donor.
21:51Just saw how hard it was for Molly when her first surrogate miscarried, and then how devastated she was when Christina lost the baby.
21:57I just, I don't think I can go through that.
22:00I agree.
22:02Keep coming back to adoption.
22:04I mean, I certainly think it's the best fit for us, but I didn't know how you felt about it, having given up your baby for adoption when you were a teenager.
22:12Who's Marco Rios?
22:14Oh, Miami Marco?
22:15Yeah, and I, I told you about that job he was there doing for.
22:18Well, he got it.
22:20As an associate at Alexis and Diane's firm, although, I'm not sure that's going to work out now.
22:27Oh, well, that's a bummer.
22:28I still don't understand what any of this has to do with Jason.
22:31Okay, I'm getting to it.
22:32So, Marco texted me with his good news, and I decided to stop by the firm to congratulate him.
22:38Okay, hold that grin.
22:40There's more.
22:42When I got there, there was a lot of tension between Jason and Marco, and it sounded like Jason had just threatened him.
22:48That's weird.
22:49I have no idea why Jason would have a problem with your boyfriend.
22:52Okay, well, first of all, not my boyfriend.
22:56Secondly, Marco's father is Jen Sidwell.
23:01Okay, that's why Jason has a problem.
23:03And I know Sidwell is a really bad guy.
23:06I've heard all about his crimes that weren't technically crimes in East Africa.
23:10He kidnapped Sasha, and he held me at gunpoint.
23:12That sounds like something someone should have told me.
23:15I'm telling you now, okay?
23:17Look, officially, it didn't happen because Jack took care of it quietly.
23:21Oh, Jack took care of it.
23:23Well, then I guess everything's good now.
23:24Oh, my God, knock it off.
23:25We're not talking about me.
23:26We're talking about you and Marco.
23:28There is no me and Marco.
23:29There was only ever a possibility, and now even that's gone.
23:35Thanks for inviting me, Uncle Sonny.
23:37This was really fun.
23:38You're family and people in the neighborhood stick together.
23:42So, you got any plans for the summer?
23:45Actually, I do.
23:47Port Charles Symphony's got an apprentice program, and they invited me.
23:52Is everything okay?
23:54Uh, oh, yeah, thank you.
23:56Uh, yeah, absolutely.
23:57I was just thinking about, of all the years that Sonny and I have been friends,
24:04he's never missed a chance to help my family out.
24:07And we've been through some really bumpy times, you know?
24:10But the second that Gio picked up that violin, Sonny supported him.
24:17You know, he made sure that Gio's musical education, it was a priority.
24:22I mean, how many people have someone like that in their lives?
24:25Not enough.
24:27Sonny has always been really generous.
24:30Yeah.
24:31I'm so sorry that Nat and Leo couldn't be here,
24:34but they're definitely going to be there for your debate.
24:36They got it circled on the calendar.
24:38You're going to have a ton of people cheering and clapping for you that night.
24:42Except that's not how it works, right, Mom?
24:43You don't cheer until the end and for the winner, right?
24:46I read that you could cheer and clap if your grandson was one of the debaters.
24:51All right.
24:52I'm really excited for the opportunity.
24:54It's awesome.
24:55I'm trusting you with my genuine feelings.
25:00So can you please just accept them for what they are and leave it at that?
25:07When we got divorced, I lost the right to have you explain yourself for everything you do.
25:13So I respect your right not to tell me.
25:18Like I said, I don't want to lie to you again.
25:21My lies have already cost me too much.
25:23They cost both of us.
25:26Well, thank you for caring enough to stop in and check on me and for your understanding.
25:33Well, you're welcome.
25:36Just know my understanding comes with a price.
25:39Giving up my baby only made me respect the adoption process even more.
25:47I know that my son went to people who wanted him.
25:49People who couldn't wait to give him all their love.
25:54And I've always prayed for the chance to pay that gift forward, you know?
25:59To give a child a loving home.
26:02There are so many kids out there who need parents.
26:06Which is something else I've been thinking about.
26:08How would you feel about adopting an older child?
26:12I'm not saying I don't want a baby.
26:14I just want us to explore all our possibilities.
26:16I would definitely be open to adopting an older child.
26:19Monica and Alan adopted Emily when she was 12 and they loved her with all their heart.
26:23I didn't know that.
26:24Because it didn't matter.
26:25Emily was a quarter main through and through.
26:27She obviously remembered her biological parents, but she was fully accepted as a quarter main.
26:33Okay.
26:34So we start looking into adoption.
26:36I just know there is a kid out there that isn't meant for us.
26:40It doesn't matter how old they are.
26:42Sidwell being Marco's father is a really good reason to walk away, Lucas.
26:46Yeah, but nothing I've seen from Marco makes me think he's like his father.
26:50And it's not like he lied to me and said his dad was an accountant or something.
26:53It just never came up.
26:55Well, you have to admit Marco wanting to work for Diane and Alexis puts him in an interesting light.
27:00Yeah.
27:01And after Brad, the last thing I want is another man I can't trust.
27:07You're right.
27:09We both come from problematic families, so I understand your desire to have your own life separate from your father.
27:17However, in this case, he's not just your father.
27:20He's also your client.
27:22He's one of many.
27:25True.
27:25True.
27:27Although Diane and I prefer not to hire individuals whose clients want to kill our clients.
27:32It's just not good for business.
27:34The optics aren't ideal either.
27:37But let me be clear.
27:39I represent the North American interests of J.S. and Associates, which is my father's firm.
27:44But my father has never involved me in any criminal enterprise.
27:48Now, I'm not going to sit here and say that I'll distance myself from him, even if that means I lose this job.
27:55I love my father.
27:57I just hope that you'll judge me on my own merits and no one else's.
28:02No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
28:03Come on.
28:04Hades can easily carry the both of us.
28:06The x-ray won't even slow him down a little.
28:08I'm not worried about him going too slow.
28:09Wait, how fast does he usually go?
28:12Slow.
28:13Very slow.
28:14Like, rock a baby to sleep slow.
28:16It's totally safe.
28:17No, I don't think so.
28:19I can't.
28:20I mean, it's safer than waiting on the side of a road for a tow truck that may never come.
28:25You make it sound like I'm in a horror movie.
28:27Sorry.
28:27A lot of them do start out that way.
28:29Come on.
28:30I'll take you back to the stables and then I'll drop you off wherever you need on the way to Dante's party.
28:35Or you can call a rideshare if you want, if you don't want to wait for me, okay?
28:40I guess it does make more sense.
28:43Yeah.
28:44Come on.
28:45Okay, okay, okay, okay.
28:46It'll be fine.
28:47Fine, fine.
28:47Okay, just hang on a second.
28:49What?
28:51Okay.
28:51Really?
28:52Hey, you're going to bring your briefcase?
28:54There are court documents in here.
28:56I can't leave legal documents on the side of the road.
29:00Dad, we should ride to Rocco's debate together.
29:04Uh, well, I'm not going to be able to make this one.
29:07Some business came up.
29:10Is that a joke?
29:12You're not going to Rocco's debate?
29:13Yeah, well, him and I have an understanding.
29:16We talked through it and everything, and, uh, and Dante's going to record it, right?
29:24Can I talk to you for a second?
29:25Yeah.
29:28Yeah.
29:37Rocco has worked so hard on this.
29:39Honey, this is the first time our grandson is putting himself out there.
29:41I know, I saw him practice, but, you know, I just can't make it this time.
29:45You are his grandfather.
29:47The kid adores you.
29:49Sonny, your being there is not optional.
29:56I never thought I would see the day where you would put work in front of your family.
30:01Come on, Ma.
30:01You know Dad would be there if he could.
30:05Fine.
30:05I'm coming to this house, and I'm going to make sure you watch every second of Dante's recording.
30:15Okay?
30:17Yeah, I'm okay.
30:18I'm taking my pills, and I haven't, you know...
30:21I'm fine.
30:23You know, why don't I tell her that the reason you're not going is for Rocco's sake?
30:28No, no.
30:29Because then she'll be mad at Rocco.
30:31Let her be mad at me.
30:32I'm a big boy.
30:33I can take it.
30:35Look, I know you're good at your job and everything, but this would be a lot easier if you leave your briefcase here.
30:40Can't do that.
30:41But if it's safer for me not to hold it like this, I can totally just wait in my car.
30:44I said easier, not safer.
30:46And I'm going to hang on to you tight, so you'll be safe, okay?
30:50Um, okay, just don't let him gallop or jump over anything.
30:54I won't.
30:55Promise.
30:56Trust me?
30:57I trust that you're good with horses.
31:00Enough.
31:02Let's go.
31:03You promise to call me with whatever you're up against.
31:06I won't ask any questions, but I will be there.
31:10I promise.
31:12And thank you for your understanding.
31:14And you can count on me and my discretion should you ever need it.
31:18That means the world to me.
31:19What are you going to do?
31:26I don't know.
31:28Maybe think about it some more.
31:30That's progress.
31:32In the past, you would have used Sidwell as an excuse to walk away from Marco.
31:35Where is the lecture about how I have horrible taste in men and Marco could break my heart?
31:42Boy, that would be annoying, wouldn't it?
31:44Ah.
31:46So you are doing unto me and Marco what you wish I would do unto you and Jack.
31:51Works for me.
31:53Yeah.
31:55Me too.
31:56I know all too well how awful it is to feel like you have to pay for the sins of a family that you didn't choose.
32:04My family did horrible things that I had no part of, and yet I'm still associated with them.
32:11I know we had a lot in common.
32:13Well, that remains to be seen.
32:15What we do have in common is our family backgrounds.
32:20So I hope that you'll listen to me when I say this to you.
32:25Walking the fine line between legality and family can be trickier than you think.
32:31And at some point, you are going to have to choose between the life that you made for yourself and working for your father.
32:39Question is, should that day ever come, will I be working for your firm?
32:43Well, I'm going to have to talk it over with Diane.
32:47And do know that we will be doing an extensive background check on you.
32:53Knock yourself out.
33:00So, we're really doing this?
33:03We're doing this.
33:05You know, at first I was, I was really nervous, but now I'm just excited.
33:10You're going to be the most amazing father.
33:12And any kid would be lucky to have you as their mom.
33:22I can't believe the crap they're saying about Sonny.
33:25Just a bunch of idiots who don't know what they're talking about.
33:27I, I got into it with a few of them.
33:30They don't want to hear the truth.
33:32You got to be careful, man.
33:33The truth is, they can be crazy.
33:36Good point.
33:36I'm going to grab a soda before I write something I really shouldn't.
33:41You guys want one?
33:42I'm good.
33:42No, thanks, man.
33:46You really dodged a bullet tonight.
33:48What do you mean?
33:49If both your grandparents were here,
33:52people would have posted saying it's proof that your grandma favors Sonny over everybody else.
33:57It's total garbage.
33:58Grandma wouldn't do that.
33:59I know, but it's probably best that Sonny can't come to the debate.
34:05I'm sorry this referendum thing is happening before your surgery.
34:09People are going to probably say some nasty stuff.
34:12Nothing I haven't heard before.
34:15Yeah, but are you planning on fighting back somehow if this doesn't go your way?
34:19I'm ready for it.
34:20I just don't want anybody to get caught in the crossfire.
34:27Here to you.
34:28I saved you another piece.
34:29Thank you so much.
34:31That's really nice of you.
34:32People from the old neighborhood stuck together.
34:36Yes, they do.
34:37And if you ever need somebody to have your back, you call me, okay?
34:41I will.
34:43She will, too.
34:46Do you ever miss home?
34:47Uh, yeah.
34:49Yeah, sometimes I do.
34:50You know, I always knew that one day I'd have to leave my hometown to pursue a music career.
34:55That's what my mom had to do.
34:58Was she away a lot?
34:59Well, before Gia was born.
35:01Sure.
35:02But, uh, you know, once she had this one, she really cut back on the traveling because she hated to be away from him.
35:08But she worked right up until the very second that Gia was born.
35:12I mean, literally.
35:13What do you mean?
35:14My mom was in California playing in a concert when she went into labor.
35:19That's why I was born in Los Angeles.
35:21That's when she was born.
35:23Yeah.
35:24You just know so much.
35:26You're out.
35:26Yeah.
35:27I know.
