01:13adoption agency based in Brooklyn I do st. Ignatius
01:22yes you can reach me at this number thank you so much I look forward to
01:28hearing from you Cody what's up you wanna join me are you still doing
01:33research on your adoption story just Tracy told me that you walked away from
01:37that I was on my way to work and I saw there was an accident and I didn't know
01:44whose car it was but then Molly got the call about her dad and so I put it
01:49together that it must have been Rick's car that's crazy that you were just
01:52happen to be driving by crazy but it was so bad I didn't think anyone was gonna
01:58survive that yes can I trust you to take care of things do it I'll see you
02:05tomorrow miss me why are you always compelled to ask
02:12questions that you already know the answers to I remember when you used to
02:17be fun August 1990 never where are you up to in such a hurry
02:24it's what Rick said that the insurance company took his car yes like he was
02:30going on the thing was totaled why do you care so much about what happened to
02:35Rick's car
02:40okay the whole truth and nothing but the truth would be really refreshing I'm
02:48looking in to an adoption agency but one from back in the day when Brooklyn was
02:55in high school I'm not following what
03:01Brooklyn gave birth to Dante's baby a boy and then she gave him up I'm just
03:10surprised that's all I mean I assumed Rick would be suing half of Port Charles
03:16by now right I thought so too just never expected him to let an insurance company
03:21handle it but I mean it's good news for you you won't be dragged into a bunch of
03:25lawsuits that's the last thing I need I thought you were gonna say something
03:30was wrong I'll get it and one of these days you're gonna have to let me get it
03:36well that thing is not today maybe when you're moving faster than a snail you
03:40can take a shot at it yeah who might those before not for you
03:55I'm looking in to an adoption agency but one from back in the day when
04:21Brooklyn was in high school I'm not following what Brooklyn gave birth to
04:30Dante's baby a boy and then she gave him up I'm just surprised that's all I mean
04:38I assumed Rick would be suing half of Port Charles by now right I thought so
04:43too just never expected him to let an insurance company handle it but I mean
04:49it's good news for you you won't be dragged into a bunch of lawsuits that's
04:53the last thing I need I thought you were gonna say something was wrong I'll get
04:59it and one of these days you're gonna have to let me get it well that thing is
05:03not today maybe when you're moving faster than a snail you can take a shot
05:07at it yeah yeah who might those before not for you don't tell me you came all
05:14this way to bring me flowers oh well they're certainly not for this savage
05:18beautiful thank you I was hoping you could catch up we barely got a chance to
05:23scratch the surface when you're at GH for your doctor's appointment but if now
05:29is a bad time I can come back no no it's it's a perfect time Elizabeth's bored
05:34out of her mind and I actually have to head out so you do yeah just have a
05:39quick errands won't take long okay see ya see oh you put this in water for me
05:48Elizabeth I am so sorry why well clearly I interrupted something I am hoping I
05:58just have these sexy variety the office is closed yeah here you are I'm on my
06:08way out well you just give your ex-husband a couple minutes can't you
06:11we may need to adjust your investment schedule with the dolos fun yeah sure
06:18let's discuss in fact I'm gonna offer you something that you've never offered
06:23me a way out of what a financial windfall with all your meticulous
06:30planning this is still embezzlement and the more we embezzle the more likely we
06:35are to get caught and if we get caught we go to prison for a long time you and
06:41I have made a pretty penny already so get out now and I'll let bygones be
06:46bygones that's a very generous offer yeah because I don't want to see our
06:51daughter get hurt and she will be very hurt if she knows that her father
06:57blackmailed her mother maybe I won't care if Molly gets hurt do you of course
07:02but you caring is what really matters do you think I would be doing this if I
07:06didn't care about my we're full circle you know even if I did consider your
07:12proposal what makes you think that Ava will you leave Ava to me
07:18Ava I know you're in this together then you're gonna go down together that's
07:22right okay don't come crying to me when she
07:26drags you to hell out now now now Rick
07:35really should discuss what I came here to tell you when I leave we all leave
07:46well you didn't interrupt anything Rick came by earlier to show off his new car
07:52and I was telling lucky all about it but oh but what but Rick's car was very
08:01sexy you know you are much crueler than someone with the face like that should
08:08be so I didn't interrupt any big romantic moment not unless talk of
08:15insurance claims and deductibles puts you in the mood
08:18sorry to disappoint hmm well upside give it to me what you're describing
08:26sounds very domestic well lucky and I are essentially living together again so
08:32it can't all be insurance deductibles can I the temperature has to be rising
08:38between you two and and it's incredible and at the same time utterly terrifying
08:48hey it's okay to change your mind if you want to find your son we can do that no
08:53we we need to let him be are you sure I'm just telling you how I feel because
08:58I know you'll understand it doesn't matter how badly I want to find him or
09:04how over the last few weeks I lay in bed at night wondering where he is it's
09:11probably a good thing that st. Ignatius closed I'd be tempted to press them for
09:15more information about the adoption well if you're worried about the fall
09:18out whatever it may be we'll get through it together I know it's not about that
09:24truly not the people wouldn't get hurt which they would very very hurt
09:30especially Dante if my son really wanted to find me I would face any consequences
09:36that came my way but he has to be the one to blow the soap and chase my son
09:40has to want to find his birth mother maybe someday he will maybe you're not
09:47you know he's not curious if his life is whole then maybe I should be grateful
09:55right you see that right there that is what makes you such a good mom you put
10:02your son's needs before your own seems like the least I can do no I'm serious
10:06that is huge and I can't wait to see you in action with our baby you are
10:13going to be a wonderful mom I have to go to rehearsal go
10:24I love you so much from the deepest part of me that sometimes it scares me
10:41thank you for being the best husband on the planet well it's hard work someone's
10:47got to do it I'll see you later you can count on it
10:56oh and I love you too I always just assumed that Brooklyn didn't have the
11:06baby why well cuz I mean she never mentioned it or even made reference to
11:12it ever at all you know I just thought that after I put her on that bus she
11:16went home to Bensonhurst and terminated the pregnancy well she didn't and and
11:23you're positive yes as in you have proof I broke into Martin Gray's hotel room as
11:31one does because I thought he had information about Valentin's whereabouts
11:34and Valentin was with Charlotte who you're looking for exactly but when I
11:40got into Martin's room I didn't find anything about Valentin or Charlotte but
11:44I did find Martin's notes about Brooklyn putting her baby up for
11:47adoption notes yeah I think he met with Lois who told him everything and Dante
11:54was listed as the father maybe you misread them I didn't
11:58Lulu it was so long ago things get misconstrued over time I just can't I
12:04know I got it right I confronted Brooklyn about it and she
12:10confirmed it everything Martin wrote down was true
12:16hey how was school fun out of curiosity do you ever get a different answer than
12:24fun it's always fine I'm glad I got to see you before I took off where you go
12:30I am going to watch Donna's nurses ball rehearsal oh well yeah what are you doing
12:35here you got important places I know so I've been told repeatedly thank you for
12:40the talk anytime you I'm so glad you're okay
12:47thanks aunt Christina make good choices boys oh yeah we will see ya now that
12:58everything's settled down a little bit I want you to tell me everything that
13:02happened at that beach party oh what'd you think I loved it can you play

13:24you play at Dante's birthday party yeah she's just ignoring you

13:39to play at their party first she's a planner uh yeah she always has been

14:05Donna happy birthday thank you
14:19happy birthday
14:24hey Lois I don't want to cramp your style it's a beautiful day and I didn't
14:30think anyone would be here you and your daughter are so alike don't tell her
14:36that she'll lose her mind well you just missed her well yeah Brooklyn was here
14:41and I think you're here for the same reason that she was it's your grandson's
14:46birthday I tried to get Brooklyn to tell Dante but she shot me down she said it's
14:53better that he didn't know because it was a closed adoption how old would this
14:56kid be now like 20 21 22 and I of course disagree with Brooklyn I think
15:04that Dante deserves to know that he has a son out there I practically begged her
15:08to do the right thing and she refused not only that but she's sick to chase on
15:13me and he threatened to have me arrested for breaking into Martin's room if I said
15:17anything I was she says that she didn't send him but come on we all know that
15:21Brooklyn's a liar I just I never thought that she'd keep a secret this big from
15:26Dante I mean it's not like they're total strangers they've been friends
15:30forever you know they help each other through tough times believe me I know
15:35Cody I tried I I really did I tried to stay out of it but I can't I know that
15:42Dante has a grown son out there and he doesn't know it it's not right but look
15:48I know that this is my problem and it's not yours and you're friends with
15:52everyone involved so just go on and order your latte and your brand muffin
15:57and forget I said anything okay well first of all brand muffins are
16:03disgusting and second second I Lulu I've been lied to for most of my life about
16:14who I am and now you're telling me that Dante has a son and Brooklyn's keeping
16:18him from knowing him no sorry that's not happening I want to help
16:24I had fun at first and I got dizzy and after that it's just fuzzy but Danny had
16:35nothing to do with it I'm the one who decided to play that game okay but
16:38that's all point man Danny shouldn't have left you alone to begin with he
16:40shouldn't have to be my babysitter and there's no way he could have known what
16:43I was gonna do I didn't even know what I was gonna do okay all right I get it
16:47okay just continue telling me what happened and try not to defend Danny or
16:52Gio in the process I mean Jill dad you didn't do anything wrong I thought you
16:58and the princess were at rehearsals apparently parents aren't welcome at
17:02rehearsals you know what I'm gonna thank you for what you did earlier playing
17:08the violin for Donna she gets a kick out of gosh only all my audiences were that
17:13enthusiastic and I I meant what I said about Donna's birthday party tell me
17:19the date and I'm there Donna would love that you can't say I heard uh Donna say
17:28you weren't feeling too well yeah you know I had minor a surgical procedure
17:33following the doctor's orders and I'm on the men as they say it's good I heard
17:41you had an eventful a couple of days not me
17:46Rocco thank God he's all right I know especially since it was all my fault as
17:54you can see this is signed by a judge giving me access to the premises as it
17:59pertains to an ongoing case whatever you say
18:04let me know when you've done thank you
18:34you
18:49you know I have a paramedic friend who's on the scene he said it was like a
18:53miracle they survived yeah wait how did you see Rick's car that night
19:04you
19:20every year on his birthday I allow myself to remember or I force myself to
19:27I'm not sure which it's probably a mixture of both mm-hmm so tough on her
19:35Brooklyn the birth I mean going through labor and then having to give the baby
19:43up but I tried I tried to be there to support her and comfort her as best I
19:49could she said you were incredible she was
19:54incredible my kid has more strength in her eyelashes than most people do in
19:59their entire bodies and I was so proud of her I mean I'm still so proud well
20:06she's lucky to have you by her side huh where else would I have been I don't
20:13know not sure every mother would have handled it the way that you did well I
20:17think I screwed a few things up along the way right but you got the most
20:21important part right you said it yourself Brooklyn made it through and
20:27yeah she was scared but throughout the whole process and I know this for a fact
20:33because she she told me she said she felt safe and loved and that is because
20:39of you Lois
20:43you know I just I want to ask you how could you be so kind and supportive and
20:49then I remember I met you dad I also just really love your daughter oh and
21:00she really loves you too so much and what she's asking you what we're both
21:07asking you it's gotta be brutal keeping this from Dante I didn't even see Gio at
21:16that party I had no clue he was there and I'm almost positive he didn't know I
21:19was there either do you remember him getting you to the
21:21quartermaids I remember Danny came to look for me but I could barely keep my
21:26eyes open next thing I know Gio is there I told him I didn't want to get in
21:31trouble because of London in a debate trip that's it
21:35dad please don't be mad at you or Danny be mad at me I'm the one who drank too
21:39much okay look I get that you didn't want to get in trouble but Gio was the
21:44adult in that scenario okay the last thing he should have been worried about
21:47was getting you in trouble he was being a friend I don't care okay I don't care
21:52him seeing you in that state the first thing he should have done is called me
21:57period him being so worried about not getting you in trouble almost got you
22:02killed you almost died right oh I know and I'm sorry hell was Gio thinking
22:08when Danny showed me where Rocco was I should have called Dante or Lulu instead
22:13I snuck Rocco back to the bow house I thought he could drink a bunch of water
22:17and sleep it off because you thought he had too much to drink you how would you
22:21know he had alcohol poisoning he was in trouble and I missed it you're a
22:26musician not a not a doctor anybody would have made that mistake
22:29Cody didn't and thank God for that you did the best you could with what you had
22:36at the time Dante doesn't see it that way though he came down on you pretty
22:42hard you tell you that he mentioned it he was you know he's afraid for his son
22:49so he unloaded on the nearest target I still wish I could go back and do it all
22:55over again don't we all listen here's here's the way it is with me if I know
23:02you did something wrong I would be very angry about it okay but I don't think
23:10you did and I appreciate what you did for my grandson
23:14thanks uncle sonny and I know that I wasn't there this time but if you're
23:22ever in a jam I want to be the first person you call
23:30you might come to regret that I don't think so
23:36tell me to back off if I'm proud no no no it's actually really nice being able
23:41to talk to somebody about this and don't get me wrong I love Laura and Lulu but
23:46they clearly want lucky and me back together no do you want to be back
23:52together I love him are you in love with him I don't think there was ever a time
24:00when I wasn't and I know that sounds crazy because I've been with other men
24:05whom I've loved deeply but with lucky it's different yeah we just had an
24:13intense connection right from the beginning and we've been through so much
24:17together good and bad now he's back and it's been amazing for Aiden for me it
24:27makes me want to believe that we can actually make it work this time want to
24:33believe
24:35does that mean you don't think it will
24:40I never took you for the littering type I was gonna pick it up I was just having
24:47a dramatic moment thank you
24:53lucky what are you doing here same thing as you I think I was under the
25:00impression that Rick's car was crushed at the impound lot turns out I was
25:04misinformed and track the car here apparently it's been moved why are you
25:10looking for Rick's car because the brake lines were cut that's what caused the
25:16accident you know who cut them don't and so do you
25:23Christina whatever you need me to do I'm in you have no idea what a relief it is
25:32to know that someone has my back it feels like everyone and their mother has
25:35been telling me to stay away from us yeah so it's a where are we with
25:39everything is it is it time to tell Dante the truth not yet I need a little
25:43more information speak of the devil maybe I shouldn't say that about a
25:50Catholic charity organization I wouldn't risk it this is Lulu I thank you so much
25:57for getting back to me really you're positive no that's all I
26:07needed thank you so much so
26:14Brooklyn said she used the st. Ignatius adoption agency but st. Ignatius closed
26:21their doors in 1987 there's no way she could have placed her baby with them but
26:27why would Brooklyn lie about that
26:31it's very very sorry you don't have to apologize to me or me sweetheart what are
26:38you doing hey well I was hoping I could watch Donna rehearse oh they gave you
26:41the boot too yeah family members are distracting apparently right right yeah
26:45I'm sorry to waste your time come on no it's not a waste of time at all I get to
26:49see you and you all right so I don't know maybe we could see Gio practice
26:55unless that makes you nervous Sonny Gio has played the national anthem at the
27:00PCU Stadium we're not gonna rattle him I don't know I always get nervous
27:04performing in front of family what I need in a relationship like you may not
27:11be able to give in what way he's the kind of guy who always leaves what would
27:19make him any different now time circumstance life maybe there's always
27:26been a part of lucky that just wants to be out in the world exploring and I'm
27:32not like that I like to be settled here with my family and my friends and my
27:39work you know coming home to Port Charles I realized that that's what I
27:44wanted to so maybe lucky the same way I don't know I think despite all of his
27:52love and best intentions he may not be made for a settled down life and my
27:59biggest fear is that I would ask him to stay and he would try because he would
28:06yeah and in the end it just wouldn't work out it's funny
28:13Luke used to always call lucky cowboy and that's basically what he is he's the
28:20guy that's always riding off into the sunset on the hunt for his next
28:25adventure I I knew it was Christina since the night of the accident how well
28:34she she came into Charlie's wasn't making a whole lot of sense and then she
28:38just took off I was worried so I followed her she pulled over at the
28:43site of the crash said that it was supposed to be Ava driving the car not
28:49Rick and that's when I realized that she was responsible well what did you do
28:54after that I told her to go back to Charlie's try to act as normal as
28:58possible and then I went to the impound lot where Rick's car was towed they said
29:02it had already been through the crusher which was a relief yeah well that had
29:07been true yeah exactly but then today Rick told Elizabeth that that the
29:12insurance company took the car so somebody's lying how did you end up here
29:19I went back to the impound lot and discovered that the car had been towed
29:23to this location discovered they just handed the information to you I had to
29:28work for it but what the hell is going on here I mean why is Rick lying
29:37you should talk to lucky about this he'll promise to stay no matter what and
29:43he wouldn't be lying he honestly thinks he will stay this time and the guy
29:48obviously loves you I know and I know he wants to be with me I do believe that
29:55but I also think he may be so afraid to let me down but I can't trust him to be
30:03honest with himself or with me I've done everything I can to protect Christine
30:09I've lied to everyone around me including Elizabeth which I'm sure you
30:14hated doing yeah more than anything so I don't know I just kind of feel like I
30:18have a right to know
30:25you're looking for something Ava and Rick left that for me so they have the
30:36car I just don't know where and they they know about Christina too they have
30:44footage that strongly implies that she cut the brakes
30:47oh and they're blackmailing me and I have to keep paying and paying or
30:55they're gonna tell Molly what Christina did which will blow up what's left of my
30:59family and they will see to it that Christina is charged and convicted of
31:04attempted murder it was all my fault you didn't know how much I had to drink did
31:08he ask maybe I don't know okay look it doesn't matter he should have called
31:13your parents give me an idea how close we came to losing you if Cody hadn't
31:18come down to the boathouse and found you I don't know what happened I don't want
31:21to think about what it could have happened because after losing Sam I'm
31:23not gonna think about losing my only child
31:28Jill screwed up big-time this on him come on Jill there's nothing to be
31:33nervous about yeah you always do great all right
31:36there goes nothing got this
31:54yeah keeping this from Dante has been difficult I'll bet but it's not my
32:00secret to tell Brooklyn is my wife she made a decision and I am standing by her
32:07do you think I made a mistake all those years ago not encouraging Brooklyn to
32:19keep her baby well I think you prioritized her well-being and Brooklyn
32:27was so young when she got pregnant I really did my best to try and protect
32:32her you know but sometimes I wonder what our lives would be like you know
32:39all of our lives if if we had made a different decision you want my advice
32:46please focus on the here and now soon God willing your daughter and I are
32:52going to adopt a child and start a family of our own
32:55I can't wait and wherever Brooklyn's son is he is surrounded by a family who
32:59loves him and that's thanks to you and who knows maybe one day we'll get lucky
33:04he'll come looking for his birth mother I think Brooklyn lied because she knows
33:10exactly where Dante's son is okay well the way that you said that makes me
33:15think that you do too do you know where the kid lives I do or I'm almost
33:23positive I do he's at the quarter mains that would be funny oh my god you're
33:31wait you're serious who I think Dante's son is Gio Palmieri
