00:00Oh, hello, God, Emma, you're okay, I'm fine, you can go, you sure about that, wait, what
00:19do you mean you'll take care of Sidwell, is he under investigation, are you going to arrest
00:24him, because if you do, his assets could be frozen, and you know what that means, bye
00:28by Zinkite, there's no way we'd find another supplier to fulfill all pending orders, please
00:34Anna, you have to tell us, this is our business, our livelihood, how bad is this guy, why'd
00:42you sell out to Sidwell, what about Sidwell, what are you talking about, well you said
00:46you have a stash of money, a stash that you could use to move out if you want to, so yes
00:52or no, did that money come from Sidwell, yes
00:57yes
00:58so Sonny Corinthos needs heart surgery
01:05when, I don't know, it's been rescheduled a couple of times, but it's soon, you and
01:14Sonny must have gotten rather close, someone in Sonny's line of work doesn't confide that
01:21kind of thing easily, I happened to walk in on him having an episode and I got him his medication
01:27and the whole thing, it was just, the whole thing was terrifying
01:30are you saying that Sonny's condition is fatal, that the surgery is life saving
01:37I don't know Jens, I'm not a doctor
01:39that's the one thing he didn't share with you
01:44I told you everything I know, okay, I have to go because of that little stunt that you just pulled with Lucy
01:50I've got to go do damage control with deception
01:51Natalia, I always love you to see you
01:56I wasn't sure you'd show, you didn't answer my text
02:01I was busy
02:02but here I am
02:04I'm glad
02:06I could see how thrown you were when I told you that Jen Sidwell was my father
02:11I was
02:12but
02:13I thought before I judge anyone, I would
02:16give you a chance to explain
02:18very gracious and open-minded of you
02:21but not unlimited
02:23so
02:24I'll hear that explanation now
02:27you decide to infiltrate Sidwell, so now we're done?
02:35yes
02:35I don't want us to be over
02:39I was really looking forward to seeing where this could go, Jordan
02:44I've been having a really good time
02:46haven't you?
02:48yes, Suzanne?
02:54it's alright, I'll handle it, put him through
02:56what do you want?
03:00I was under the impression that your firm was going to extend an offer of employment to my son
03:04it seems to have hit a snag
03:07yes, we thought his relationship with you was pertinent information that should have come out in the interview
03:14Ms. Davis, I can assure you that I...
03:18this is reassuring
03:19I don't have time for this
03:21you're coming to L.A.?
03:28absolutely I'm coming to L.A.
03:31you need someone with you during the surgery and for post-op
03:34and that someone's going to be me
03:35you know you can't do that, right?
03:37I've really enjoyed our time together
04:04I always looked forward to seeing you
04:06me too
04:07so why can't we just keep doing what we've been doing?
04:11Ms. I can't take the risk
04:13I need to focus on this new job with Sidwell
04:16and I'm sure he's probably going to be keeping eyes on me
04:19Jordan, tell me the truth
04:21are you DEA?
04:23what?
04:24no
04:25so you're just doing all this on your own?
04:28you're breaking up with me, completely disrupting your life and putting yourself in a dangerous position
04:34just so you could be the one to bring Sidwell down?
04:36this isn't about ego
04:38Sidwell needs to be stopped and I'm uniquely positioned to do that
04:42Jordan
04:43Sidwell has been operating under the radar for decades
04:48he's got layers of protection all around him
04:51anywhere he goes
04:52the man commits crimes the minute his feet hit the ground
04:56his rap sheet is clean
04:58the chances of you finding any incriminating evidence to bring him down are slim to none
05:03your father has hurt a lot of my friends and family
05:09and I am being very, very polite when I say that all of them think he's a criminal
05:16I didn't grow up with my dad
05:18my parents split right after I was born and my mom wouldn't let me see him
05:22I have no childhood memories of my father, none
05:25well, maybe your mom was onto something
05:27I'm sure she thought she was
05:29but, when I was in high school, we had a falling out
05:33and it was... that...
05:37I'm... I'm sorry, I...
05:39what... what happened?
05:41she didn't want a gay son
05:43and she definitely didn't want one living openly
05:46oh, well that... must have been just... terrible
05:51I'm... I'm sorry you went through that
05:53thank you
05:54but, it's what made me reach out to my father
05:58he didn't care about who I was or me coming out
06:02he was just there for me
06:04I... didn't know my father until I was older either
06:08I was an adult, in fact
06:10are you guys close now?
06:12Julian... died... about four years ago
06:16and, um... we were estranged at the time
06:20what about you?
06:22are... are you close with your father?
06:24yeah, we are
06:26when he said he was moving to Port Charles
06:28he suggested I... I move too
06:32I said yes
06:34did you know who I was?
06:36and that I lived in Port Charles
06:38when you offered to buy me that drink in Miami?
06:42oh... great
06:50you good?
06:52I'm fine
06:54you sure? you don't sound fine
06:57I'm fine, okay? I'm just trying to get my foot in stuck
07:00so I can make my big move out of here
07:02so find something to stand on
07:04so I can reach you and get you out of here
07:06Jocelyn, I told you I'm fine
07:08really? you don't look fine
07:10come on
07:12seriously, come on
07:14hey, Paul
07:18I appreciate that you want to do this for me
07:20but this trip to L.A. has to be like any other business trip
07:24nothing that's gonna draw attention to anything
07:28now, you're my ex-wife
07:31that's like the exact opposite
07:33what are you talking about? we've traveled together before
07:36well, not recently and not without Donna
07:38okay, so I'll just leak that I'm scouting hotels
07:42because I want to expand the metro court
07:44our relationship's good enough for people to believe you'll give me a ride to L.A.
07:47okay, so what happens when we get there?
07:49we can't stay in the same hotel room
07:51it's not gonna work
07:53I know
07:55we can say that we're interviewing doctors
07:57for Michael's follow-up treatment for when he comes back from Germany
08:00I don't like to use Michael as a cover
08:02it doesn't make me feel good
08:04what are you talking about? Michael will approve
08:05especially when he hears the whole story
08:07and it'll explain our presence in the hospital
08:10it's kind of perfect actually
08:12and very understandable
08:13I mean, two parents looking out for their son?
08:16come on
08:17I think it's perfect and it'll work
08:21I don't have any reason to officially investigate Sidwell right now
08:25I don't
08:26he has managed to distance himself from all the events in Africa
08:29he hasn't broken any U.S. or international laws
08:32that you know of
08:33should we distance ourselves from him?
08:35wouldn't that destroy your business?
08:38look, he has every incentive to keep his dealings with you above board
08:43what makes you say that?
08:44because he's an outsider
08:45he's looking to establish himself here
08:47deception, like, puts him in a position in Port Charles as a legitimate businessman
08:54so he's using us to launder his reputation?
08:58yeah, probably
09:00look, ultimately, this is your decision, this is your company
09:05but if it were me
09:07I would stay the course
09:09I really think that it's the safest thing for you to do right now
09:13we can do that, I think
09:15but
09:16whatever you do
09:18do not trust Sidwell
09:20that was never gonna happen
09:22alright
09:23okay
09:24I hope this helped
09:25thank you
09:26oh
09:27Anna
09:28Lucy
09:29hi
09:30please
09:31thank you
09:32okay
09:33you're never ever gonna believe what I just heard
09:37Natalia is Jen's Sidwell's ex-wife
09:41Jason told us
09:43why would you take anything from Sidwell
09:48he kidnapped you at gunpoint
09:50put you in a room with a bomb
09:51and we barely got you out of there
09:52I know
09:53okay, then why?
09:54why?
09:55why would you take money from that bastard
09:57and then lie to Maxi and Brooklyn about him?
09:59I thought they were your friends
10:00they are my friends
10:02and I didn't lie
10:05exactly
10:06come on, Sasha
10:08look, yes, he did what you said he did
10:11but he only did it in response to my mother's conning him
10:15and then stealing his diamonds worth hundreds of millions of dollars
10:18the man almost killed you
10:20I'm not saying he's not dangerous
10:22all I'm saying is that he was provoked
10:25look
10:26Deception desperately needed Sidwell's syncite
10:30and Maxi told me that they weren't gonna use him as a supplier
10:33because of what he did to me
10:35and Deception could have lost everything
10:38so, yeah, I downplayed what he did
10:42because I want Deception and my friends who I love and care about to succeed
10:47and what he did to me shouldn't play into who they do business with
10:51what, did you feel this way before Sidwell paid you off?
10:54maybe
10:55I... I don't know
10:57I don't know, but...
10:59I certainly didn't think that I was putting them in danger, okay?
11:02they are all smart adults who can make up their own minds about him
11:07but you took his money
11:09you didn't have to take the money
11:11yes, I did
11:15Sasha, I've told you over and over
11:17you don't have to worry about money
11:19and I know Michael's told you the same thing
11:21I want to know that I can support myself and my child
11:25look, I grew up with a mother who was driven by money
11:32and she would completely transform herself into whatever her latest mark wanted her to be
11:38and I did it too
11:40like when I was pretending to be Nina's daughter
11:43and I told myself that it was a valid way to live
11:47but it wasn't
11:48and I don't ever want my child to think that it is
11:51okay, but you're acting like you're all alone
11:54in the world, and you're not
11:56I mean, you have family now, you got friends
11:58and I don't want their charity
12:00Sidwell offered me compensation for what he had put me through
12:04and I took it
12:06and now we're done
12:07okay, well, I hope that's true, but hold on
12:13so you would be okay if your family and friends found out that you took money from Sidwell?
12:17you're not gonna tell them, are you?
12:19no
12:21but the fact that you don't want me to tells me something
12:26you're not okay with it
12:28so first you say what a bad guy Sidwell is
12:31and now you're saying there's no evidence he's done anything illegal
12:34I'm saying he's dangerous and ruthless
12:37and way too smart to leave a paper trail for anyone to follow
12:41okay, well all the more reason to get close to him
12:44Jordan, I gotta be honest
12:47I am afraid for you
12:49if he finds out about you, you'll just be gone
12:52well, I assumed as much
12:54why are you so hell bent on risking your life with no backup?
12:59no DEA or WSB
13:01this is why I'm saying goodbye now
13:04if we had been in a relationship, I would have had to make you understand
13:09wow, that's cold
13:12yeah, well, it's the truth, Nizia
13:15and my choices are my own
13:17so there's no talking you out of this?
13:19no
13:20I'm doing what I need to do
13:23I'm doing what I need to do
13:24alright
13:25then
13:26Bajra
13:28please be careful
13:33hey, hey, is everything alright?
13:40I'm sorry, Miss Davis, he just walked right by
13:45Suzanne
13:47it's okay, I got this
13:48thanks so much for seeing me
13:52I already told you that I didn't have time for you today
13:54well, I thought you'd feel differently if we were face to face
13:56I don't
13:57what do you want?
13:58you're on the verge of hiring Markov
14:00but he hasn't officially been brought on yet
14:03you have a perfect grasp
14:05of the right
14:07you have a perfect grasp
14:09of the right
14:11you have a perfect grasp
14:12of the right
14:14how are you?
14:15okay, I will
14:17Marco. Um, but he hasn't officially been brought on yet.
14:22You have a perfect grasp of the situation.
14:25I presume the stumbling block is me.
14:29The fact that you're his father is a factor, but not the only one.
14:34We've interviewed many qualified candidates and we're considering all of them.
14:39None of them are as qualified as Marco.
14:41So, Penn State, Harvard Law, Marco's admirable dedication to his pro bono work.
14:48Plus, he has an excellent client list.
14:51Including you.
14:53And the possibility that you knew Sonny and Jason were clients of this firm.
14:57So you brought Marco in to infiltrate it.
15:01Not even a remote possibility.
15:04Did you ask Marco to relocate here?
15:07Yes.
15:08On stateside for the first time in years, I was looking forward to be close to my son.
15:16I didn't know he wanted to work for your firm, but he really does.
15:21So, what can I say or do to alleviate your concerns about my son's father?
15:27Because frankly, Ms. Davis, you'd be a fool not to hire him.
15:31We knew what Sidwell did in Africa with Jason and Anna Unlucky.
15:39And they came back fine.
15:41So we were kind of fine and we sort of, you know, said, all right, we'll let that happen.
15:45We accept that.
15:46It's okay.
15:46But now, we've got his ex-wife insinuating herself into our company.
15:53That really falls out of the category of bygones.
15:55So what are you thinking?
15:57I don't know.
15:59Okay.
16:00We could invoke Sidwell's morals clause, right?
16:04And we could sever all ties with him.
16:05That way, deception is never, ever implicated in anything he's done illegally.
16:10Okay.
16:11But that would imply that we knew he'd done something illegal.
16:14Well, that's an excellent point.
16:16Well, come on.
16:18If we cut our losses with gents, it's going to take us months and months to build up that
16:22supply chain again of Zingite.
16:24No, no, no.
16:25Demand is already outpacing supply.
16:27Exactly.
16:28So we can't really cut him out because that would mean completely postponing our global launch.
16:34And that means our wrinkle queen would never get out there.
16:37And that also means that we would lose all momentum.
16:41Okay, wait.
16:42Bear with me.
16:44What if we just stick with Sidwell?
16:48I mean, come on, think about it.
16:49He's not really in the inner circle, and I could maybe keep an eye on him.
16:52We do not have to like the man to do business with him.
16:58Okay, all right.
16:59Then that brings us to our CFO.
17:02What are we going to do about Natalia?
17:09I don't want you to disrupt your life because of me.
17:12Sonny, left to your own devices, you're going to stay still for about two days.
17:20You're going to push yourself, and then your recovery will suffer because of it.
17:25You think you can tell me what to do?
17:27I know that I have a better shot at it than anyone else.
17:31And I know you trust my judgment, at least enough to listen to me.
17:35Yeah, I do.
17:37And you know you can trust me.
17:39Natalia, on the other hand, I'm really worried that she knows as much as she does, Sonny.
17:45If I had known she was Sidwell's ex-wife, I would have acted differently.
17:49But I do not think she would wish harm on me.
17:52Yeah, what's up?
18:04Hi, Sonny.
18:05Can you come to Deception right away?
18:07We need to talk about Natalia.
18:08Oh, um, you still got gum in your hair.
18:21Yeah.
18:22Didn't just magically fall out when I fell into the dumpster.
18:26I could do without the commentary, but thanks.
18:28Okay.
18:29You're welcome.
18:30Are you okay?
18:35I'm fine.
18:36Did that just happen?
18:39No.
18:40No, uh, I-I twisted it on my hike.
18:43Huh.
18:44Island hike?
18:46Yes.
18:49Actually, I think I'm just gonna sit for a second.
18:54Okay, well, you're obviously in pain, so where are your crutches?
18:57What, they not go with your outfits or something?
19:00Okay.
19:00Uh, my ankle was just fine until I put all of my weight on it, hauling your ass.
19:06Oh, I know that you did not just call me fat.
19:08Okay, would you drop it already?
19:12Why are you always so angry with me?
19:14God, because, Joss.
19:17I'm so sick of you getting everything that you want.
19:20First, it's the Easter Island hike, and then it's getting into Dalton's class, even though that's already so-
19:24Everything just always seems to work out for you.
19:28That's funny.
19:29That's exactly what I used to think about you when we were kids.
19:32You were perfect.
19:34You could do no wrong.
19:35You never got into trouble.
19:37It's because I was always being who everybody else wanted me to be.
19:40Well, look at where that got you.
19:42You're now a criminal with a rap sheet.
19:44Yeah.
19:45Public enemy number one.
19:46I don't know what I just walked in on, but it seemed pretty tense.
19:53Yeah.
19:54I just broke up with Isaiah.
19:57Oh.
19:58Oh, sorry.
19:59I didn't realize that you had something going on.
20:01Oh, well, not anymore.
20:04And it's too bad, because I really liked him.
20:06Oh.
20:06Well, what happened?
20:09Jen Sidwell came into town, just when things were starting to get interesting between me and Isaiah.
20:16Right.
20:17So, given the history between Sidwell and Isaiah, you had to cut him loose, because you didn't want Sidwell to become suspicious when you started to cultivate him.
20:28Is that okay?
20:29Yeah, well, I've cultivated some targets in my life, and, oh, I gave you the listening device.
20:38Is that it?
20:39Yeah, I will be putting that to use.
20:42As for me and Isaiah, we decided we'd try to see each other on the down low.
20:48I said that you're not going to do that at all.
20:50So why?
20:51What changed?
20:54So, I got your text.
20:55Everything okay?
20:56I'm fine.
20:57Everything's not okay.
20:58Hey, I just found out about Sonny's heart and his upcoming surgery.
21:02Did Sonny tell you?
21:03Just now.
21:05How long have you known about this?
21:06Uh, you know, I've known for a while, before everything went down to the penthouse.
21:10And before you, wait, hold on, before you come at me, Sonny didn't want anybody to know.
21:16Okay, Dr. Gannon knows because you've been monitoring Sonny's condition, and Brick knows because he found us a specialist in L.A.
21:22What did Natalia bring to this party?
21:25Ugh, yeah.
21:26Um, well, she found Sonny when he had one of his episodes, and she gave him his pills.
21:32After that, he confided in her, which, you know, I didn't like at all.
21:35Oh.
21:37So she literally stumbled upon Sonny's secret, and now her connection to Sidwell comes out?
21:42Come on.
21:43Sonny, why didn't you tell me what was going on?
21:45Sonny didn't want you to know.
21:47That never mattered in the past.
21:50Why didn't you trust me this time?
21:53Is it because of Jack?
21:54You found me out.
21:57I waited, and then I dropped my credit card, knowing that you'd find it, and then hoping that once you did, you got so drunk that I'd have to half-care you back.
22:04Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, stop.
22:07I don't know why I constantly embarrass myself in front of you.
22:12I'm really sorry.
22:14For the record, I didn't know you lived here, and that night I was just relieved to get my credit card back, and intrigued by the cute boy who found it.
22:25Our connection caught me completely off guard, and the next morning, well, I had no reason to think that I would ever see you again.
22:34And look at us now.
22:36Surprise again.
22:38And Jen Sidwell is your father.
22:42Yeah, that's a good surprise.
22:44Do you work for him?
22:47SRE Worldwide is one of my clients, yes.
22:51Anything else you need to know?
22:53Is Jen Sidwell a criminal?
22:55I have no knowledge of my father doing anything illegal.
22:59Interesting phrasing, counselor.
23:02Is that because he's legit?
23:05Or because you're willfully ignorant?
23:08Don't want to know the truth.
23:11Natalia's been in here longer than Seymour's been in poor Charles.
23:14She's been doing our books for over a year now.
23:17Wow.
23:18Okay.
23:19Do you believe that Natalia could have said anything to Sidwell that could actually hurt us?
23:25No.
23:26I wouldn't have said anything to him, even if there was something to tell.
23:29Now, I know that you guys are upset.
23:31You have every right to be, but please, please, please hear me out.
23:34Why?
23:34Why would we do that?
23:36Lucy?
23:37Go ahead, Natalia.
23:40Look, my ex-husband has been out of my life for decades.
23:43We broke up when our son was still just a baby.
23:46And the last I heard about him, he was in East Africa.
23:49Yeah, he made quite the impression in Africa on everyone.
23:52Well, there was no reason for me to ever think that he was going to be here at poor Charles.
23:56But he is.
23:58And if you weren't working with him, why didn't you say something when you heard he was doing business with Deception?
24:04I was envious of you when we were kids.
24:11I mean, you were like this super cool girl who lived part-time in Australia, and you surfed, and you never cared what people thought about you.
24:24You weren't afraid to push the boundaries and go after the things that you wanted.
24:28Wow.
24:29We remember things differently.
24:32Yeah, I guess.
24:34It always bugged me that you were so fearless.
24:40That you weren't afraid to go after the things that you wanted.
24:44Meanwhile, here I was, stuck being this good little rule follower.
24:48I was jealous of you.
24:51It always seemed like you had everything figured out.
24:54You didn't need to break the rules or push the boundaries to get what you wanted.
25:00Yeah, well, now all I want to do is fight for what's right.
25:03Here I am.
25:04I'm covered in paint and gum in my hair that a tiny child put there.
25:10Well, it looks good on you.
25:13Yeah, I really think that I'm making it work.
25:15Tell me one thing, though.
25:17How did you actually get into Dalton's class when I know there are at least ten people who are on that wait list?
25:23My father is a very powerful and ambitious man.
25:27I know there are parts of him that he keeps from me, and frankly, I prefer it that way.
25:34I get why people would find that hard to understand.
25:37I understand it all too well.
25:40I ignored everything my father did until I couldn't anymore.
25:47That's why we were estranged when he died.
25:50This is new.
25:52What is?
25:53Telling a guy my whole life story?
25:56I usually wait until date three.
25:57Oh, this is a date?
25:59Right after I resigned as deputy mayor, Sidwell offered me a job as his personal lobbyist.
26:08And I said, yes.
26:11Are you going undercover full-time?
26:13Not officially.
26:14But I'd appreciate it if you didn't say anything to anyone.
26:18Especially Curtis.
26:19Oh, God, no.
26:19Of course not.
26:21That's why you resigned from your position.
26:23Oh, is Laura in on this too?
26:25Well, we came up with the plan together.
26:27We knew Boyle wouldn't be able to resist a chance to grandstand and put me on the spot at the press conference.
26:35And he did not disappoint.
26:37Gave you your opening for Sidwell.
26:40Well, like any good cover story, it works because there's an element of truth to it.
26:47I've never been comfortable with Laura's closeness to Sonny.
26:52Does my involvement with Jack Brennan make you question my judgment so much that you didn't want to tell me that Sonny needed help?
27:00No.
27:01I know you would never give Sonny secrets to grandstand.
27:03Then why?
27:04Why wouldn't you tell me?
27:07Because you have the right to have a life separate and apart from Sonny.
27:14I knew there were times in the past where you would try to distance yourself and I would pull you right back in.
27:19Yeah, but I make my own choices, Jason.
27:21I know, and I know that, and I trust you.
27:24But I also know, no matter how bad things are with Sonny, you'll always come through for him.
27:30Always.
27:31And over the years, that's cost you a lot.
27:33Yeah, but nothing's changed.
27:34You've changed.
27:35You've changed.
27:37Especially after what happened with Sonny and Nina.
27:39I saw how painful that was for you, and I didn't think it was fair to ask you to come through for Sonny again.
27:49Why are you working so hard to get your son hired here?
27:55Perhaps I am overcompensating.
27:59His mother and I divorced when Marco was really young, and as a father, I was mostly absent.
28:06So, his mother had him for all of his early years, and, um, oh, I believe you know her, Natalia Ramirez.
28:19Natalia is your ex-wife?
28:20Yes.
28:21Are you Allison's father?
28:23No, no.
28:25Natalia remarried, but our divorce was so acrimonious, oh, that, um, I missed out on Marco's childhood.
28:35So, when did you reconnect?
28:38Well, he reached out when he was in high school.
28:41I was happy to pay for college and law school, and, uh, grateful for the chance to, um, bond with my son.
28:50I'm sure you were.
28:51You missed out on a lot of his life.
28:54Yeah.
28:54Really looking forward to living in the same city for a change.
29:00I can see that you love your son.
29:03I do.
29:05Very much.
29:06However, unfortunately, your feelings have no bearing on our firm's hiring decisions.
29:12I'll have my assistant see you out.
29:17You're right.
29:19I should have said something about Jens the second that he walked into the office, but I, and I'm sorry, I'm so sorry that I didn't, but I saw the man and I completely froze.
29:27I, I didn't even know he was in North America, let alone poor Charles.
29:32Yeah, I'm sure that was a shock.
29:35Yeah, but it's been two months since that meeting.
29:39And you kept your connection to Sidwell quiet the entire time.
29:43To be honest, with Lulu's passionate objections, I didn't think you guys were going to move forward with the deal.
29:49And then I thought, well, what would be the use of telling you?
29:51And then the deal did move forward and too much time had passed and I, I didn't know you'd be here, Natalia.
30:01Well, of course I owe these ladies an explanation and an apology.
30:06Yeah, she was just explaining why she kept her ex-husband a secret.
30:11What did you decide?
30:15Um, are we still all in agreement?
30:19Yeah.
30:21All right, Natalia, we're not going to drag this out.
30:24Effective immediately, we're terminating your contract.
30:27We cannot continue with you as deception CFO.
30:34Hoping to get from Sidwell.
30:37Well, we both know that he's up to something.
30:39Yeah.
30:40And he may have hired me to be public-facing, but once I'm in the inside, I'll be in the perfect position to keep an eye on him.
30:47If he's planning something, do you think you can get some evidence that we can use against him?
30:51Maybe.
30:53I'm also hoping that my presence in his organization will make it harder for him to pull something.
30:58This is almost too good to be true.
31:01Laura and I will finally have a man on the inside.
31:04That's right.
31:06I couldn't think of a better man for the job.
31:08But I've been an excellent CFO.
31:11Wait, Sonny only decided to invest if you made me CFO.
31:16That's why I asked my uncle Sonny to come here.
31:19I'm really sorry I had to bring you into this.
31:21Sorry, I understand.
31:22Look, Natalia, you've been an excellent CFO, but in light of the circumstances, we can't trust you.
31:29Right now, Sidwell is a necessary evil, but we would like to distance ourselves from him.
31:34Exactly.
31:34So we can't have his ex-wife anywhere near our financials.
31:40But, Sonny, you know better than anyone that I can be trusted.
31:44So please, don't let this happen.
31:48Sorry, Natalia.
31:50I understand their position.
31:53And I accept their decision.
31:55I can't believe you're doing this.
31:57Really?
31:58After all that I have done for you?
32:00Where's your loyalty?
32:02Business is business.
32:03You're calling this a date?
32:18Oh, I had no idea.
32:20Your standards were so low.
32:21This isn't the worst date I've had.
32:24Me either.
32:25And thank you for being so honest with me.
32:31It wasn't too much information?
32:33I asked the questions.
32:36Well, you didn't ask, but you should also know that I have a half-sister.
32:40Okay, you know what?
32:41Before we get into, like, every pet you've ever owned...
32:44I'm sorry.
32:45It's my mom.
32:46She doesn't usually call.
32:47Excuse me.
32:48That's fine.
32:49I've got a consult I should get to.
32:51I'll tell you the rest on date number three.
32:54I look forward to it.
32:58Mom?
32:59What's going on?
33:03Thank you for taking me and my life into consideration when it comes to Sonny.
33:11I didn't want to use our friendship to get you to help Sonny.
33:17Not again.
33:21Gosh.
33:24It seemed like it was forever before I could have a conversation without Sonny's name coming up, you know?
33:29I mean, I love him.
33:34You know, I'm always going to love him.
33:35We have kids together and everything.
33:36No, I know.
33:39And I love you.
33:41I love you for thinking about me and supporting my choices, even when you don't agree with them.
33:47But I just...
33:48I want to be clear that it is my choice to go with Sonny to L.A.
33:52It is.
33:52Are you sure?
33:54Yes.
33:54Because I can...
33:55No, no, no, no.
33:57I want to go.
33:57I want to be there for Sonny.
33:58I do.
34:00I mean, we've been through a lot together over the years.
34:02And no matter what, I'm always going to be there for him, just like he's always going to be there for me.
34:06You know?
34:08I want to do this.
34:10Okay.
34:11I'm just glad that he told you.
34:14And I am glad that you're going.
34:16Because he's going to need a lot more help than he thinks.
34:23I don't know how I got into environmental physics.
34:28But what I do know is I didn't ask for any special favors.
34:33I guess PCU really will do whatever it takes to keep your dad happy.
34:39Someone's got to pay for a new sports center.
34:40I know that it's unfair that I got into Dalton's class when there was such a long wait list.
34:51But now that I'm in the class, I'm going to work my ass off.
35:02It's better.
35:07I'll see you in class.
35:10So, I do support your reasoning, but I think that the bottom line is you kind of miss the action.
35:20You know, you're very good undercover.
35:23But I think what is worse, maybe, is that you love it.
35:27That's probably why I missed it so much.
35:30I do worry that your focus on Zidwell is going to cost you.
35:35Yeah.
35:36It already has.
35:38He's not going to be an easy target.
35:39Yeah, Jordan.
35:42Zidwell is dangerous.
35:44And for someone who's been in town such a short time, he has a lot of powerful connections.
35:51Mr. Zidwell, I am not going to tell you again.
35:53You need to leave this office immediately.
35:55You should...
35:56It's okay.
35:56I'll take it from here.
35:58Do I need to call security?
36:03No.
36:06I just want to give you my word on one thing.
36:09Marco has never done anything remotely illegal.
36:12I'm proud of my son, and I love him very much.
36:17Do you really think I would condone him getting involved with any form of criminality?
36:21I don't really know you, so I have no idea.
36:25But I'll take everything that you've said under advisement.
36:28You, Mrs. Davis, are a very hard woman to impress.
36:36But Marco, well, he can rise to the challenge.
36:42As can I.
36:43Have a good day.
36:50You definitely got your work cut out for you.
36:53Keeping Sonny still while recuperating is not going to be easy.
36:56I already told him that I know he's going to be a problem.
36:59And he knows it, too.
37:00But you know what?
37:01I got him through the injury that caused this 25 years ago.
37:04I'll get him through this, too.
37:05You're probably the only one.
37:07I'm more worried about what he's shared with Natalia over the past few months.
37:15Do you think she's told Sid well?
37:17Sonny's secrets.
37:18You're an ex.
37:20How much do you tell Sonny?
37:23Pretty much everything.
37:25Then that's our answer.
37:27We have to assume that Natalia told Sid well.
37:32Everything.
37:33What's going on, Mom?
37:34I don't know who I'm angrier at.
37:36Is it your dad or Sonny?
37:38Why?
37:38What happened?
37:38Your dad, he just blew my life to hell.
37:41And then Sonny, after all that I've done for him, he just fired me.
37:45Like I was nothing.
37:48All right.
37:48Now, I guess we have to look for a brand new CFO.
37:56I'm sorry for putting me in that position.
37:59Really, Natalia was furious.
38:01Yeah, she was.
38:02But we can't ignore her connection to Sid well.
38:06And since I'm the one who brought it into deception, look, I mean, I felt it was right for me to be involved in letting her go.
38:15But what happens now, just do it with her.
38:24On the next, General Hospital.
38:25Is that something you can do?
38:26The best option is leave it alone.
38:28The only way I can free myself is to confess.
38:31You think it's a good idea, then I'm in.
38:32Are we in agreement on our plans?
38:34We need to face it and end this war once and for all.
38:37Maybe it's your own music.
38:39The best option is leave it alone.
38:42It doesn't fall.
38:43It doesn't fall
