00:00♪♪
00:04I'm okay.
00:06Christina, you okay?
00:10Actually, that depends on you.
00:13Thank you for taking the time to meet with me.
00:15Whoa, that was some serious corporate speak.
00:17I'm sorry. You're right.
00:20I guess I'm, like, kind of stuck in the zone.
00:22Try again.
00:23Hi, Willow.
00:24Hi, Drew.
00:25So nice of you to stop by.
00:26I was happy to.
00:28It gives me the chance to tell you in person
00:30that Amelia loved her first swim lesson.
00:33You see?
00:34You were right.
00:35I knew it!
00:36Oh, that makes me so happy.
00:38I mean, okay, so Amelia did well, but how did Mom do?
00:41Well, I was nervous at first,
00:42but once I saw how comfortable she was,
00:44I was fine.
00:46That's awesome.
00:48Hey, you beat me here.
00:50Amazing what running a few red lights can do.
00:53I'm kidding. I even drove the speed limit.
00:55I know one drives the speed limit.
00:56Truth.
00:57So, uh, what's with this mystery meeting?
01:00Yeah, I've never been asked to sit in
01:01on Aurora business before.
01:03Should I be scared?
01:04No.
01:05No, but I hope you'll be excited.
01:08Do you happen to know if Jason Morgan's here?
01:10Oh, I'm sorry, sir.
01:11I can't disclose who's made reservations
01:13at the restaurant.
01:14No, he wouldn't be a patron.
01:15Uh, hi.
01:16Can I help you with something?
01:17Carly, hi.
01:18Hi again.
01:20How's your head?
01:21Uh, it's still attached.
01:22I see.
01:23So, do you need something?
01:24Uh, uh, uh, I, since I'm staying here,
01:27I thought I would meet the new owner of the hotel.
01:30Well, you already know Jason.
01:31And if you're looking for the new owner,
01:33you found her.
01:42Hi.
01:43Hey.
01:44Thanks for meeting me.
01:45Yeah, of course.
01:50I want to debrief you.
01:52I think if we are going to figure out
01:55who's running Pikeman and shut them down,
01:59there's a fair amount of things you need to know.
02:02Such as?
02:03Well, firstly, I think Valentine is involved.
02:08In Pikeman?
02:09Big time.
02:23There must be some sort of mistake.
02:25The only visitor I ever had was my mother.
02:27And she was just here.
02:36Hello, Nicholas.
02:43Hello.
02:44Hello.
02:45Hello.
02:46Hello.
02:47Hello.
02:48Hello.
02:49Hello.
02:50Hello.
02:52Hello.
02:54Right this way.
03:21I'm meeting with a non-profit who wants us to run their PR.
03:25OK.
03:26What kind of PR were they thinking?
03:27Well, they want Aurora to help raise awareness
03:29for their cause by featuring them in our publications
03:31and in our media.
03:32But the reason that you're here is because they're
03:36looking for a spokesperson.
03:38Oh.
03:39Sure.
03:40I could help you research some candidates.
03:43I think the spokesperson should be you.
03:45Me?
03:46You sound surprised.
03:48Because I am.
03:50I have zero experience with non-profits
03:52or being a spokesperson for anything.
03:54But this cause in particular, you do have experience with.
03:58This probably should have been my first question.
04:00What exactly does this non-profit do?
04:02OK, the New Tomorrow Institute helps
04:04people find bone marrow donors.
04:07They also coordinate umbilical cord blood donations.
04:11So I think it's safe to say that the transplant process isn't
04:15very well understood by the general public.
04:17And this organization is really trying to change that.
04:19And when they said that they were looking for somebody
04:22to personalize their message, I immediately
04:25thought of you, a leukemia survivor, in large part
04:28due to a bone marrow donation.
04:31Willow, you've got the power to make a huge impact here.
04:38Well, I shouldn't say owner.
04:39I'm a co-owner with Olivia Quartermain.
04:43Just like old times.
04:45Yep.
04:47Happy for you.
04:49Really?
04:50That's not exactly the vibe I'm getting from you.
04:52No, no, no, no.
04:53I am.
04:54I remember how you talked about the MetroCorp,
04:56how much you loved running the place.
04:58I did.
04:59I do.
05:00But I also remember you saying you never
05:02thought you'd get it back.
05:04That's also true.
05:05So what happened?
05:06Jason bought it and then sold you his half?
05:11He gave it to me.
05:12Just handed it over.
05:14Expected nothing in return.
05:16Jason doesn't operate like that.
05:18When he does or says something, he means it.
05:21OK.
05:22That explains his side.
05:24But not mine.
05:26Well, you just don't strike me as someone
05:28who would accept a gift like that.
05:30You know, you seem to value your independence too much.
05:33Am I off base?
05:35No.
05:37You're spot on.
05:38So Valentine, Jack Brennan, and I, we all
05:41came up through the WSB together.
05:43Wait.
05:44You're saying that Valentine was an agent?
05:47A desk agent.
05:48You didn't know that?
05:51So anyway, we all went through the WSB training
05:54course at the same time.
05:56Jack Brennan, he finished top of the class,
05:58which is what I had intended to do.
06:00But I wound up second.
06:02I think it was maybe sexism at work.
06:05Who knows?
06:06Anyway, Valentine did very well too.
06:08He finished close to the top.
06:11I mean, it's kind of just like going
06:13through university together.
06:14You know people, but you don't know them very well.
06:17Brennan, always a bit of a pragmatist.
06:21Now, I'm almost positive that he stole the money that
06:24was used to seed Pikeman.
06:28OK, where does Valentine fit in?
06:30If you were to ask him, nowhere.
06:33However, when Pikeman initially approached Sunny
06:36to handle the shipment, Valentine was the go-between.
06:39Now, he says it's because he did contract work for them
06:41back in the 90s and that there are no other ties.
06:44But you don't buy it?
06:46No.
06:47Did you push him on it?
06:48No.
06:49I mean, push him?
06:52No.
06:54I don't think that he believes I'm suspicious of him anyway.
06:59The subject that I probed on was Brennan.
07:02OK, and?
07:04It's really interesting.
07:07I think he convinced me that I was remembering wrong,
07:13that he and Brennan weren't tight the way I believed.
07:17I mean, you know, it was the 80s, so it's a while back.
07:21But I did some thinking.
07:24I know I'm right.
07:27I know Brennan and Valentine were thick as thieves back then.
07:31OK, so Valentine's hiding something.
07:34I'm almost certain.
07:36At times, and then at other times,
07:38I think I'm being a bit paranoid.
07:41I can go back and forth.
07:43That's not like you.
07:46I have to be honest with you.
07:49When it comes to Valentine, you know,
07:53my judgment is a bit compromised.
07:58Look at you.
07:59Trusted status.
08:00Free movement around the place.
08:02Yeah, let's not go crazy.
08:04Well, you're out and about with no guards present.
08:07I'm impressed.
08:08It is a perk.
08:10And how about you?
08:12Finding a reason to visit Pentonville that has nothing to do with me
08:15and doesn't require a midnight van trip.
08:18Kudos.
08:19I guess we all have our moments, Jack.
08:21What we don't have is a whole lot of time.
08:24What's happening with Corinthos?
08:26Adjusting well to life on reduced medication?
08:28Well, it looks that way.
08:30He's isolated from his closest friends and family.
08:32The only one he trusts is Ava Jerome.
08:35I heard you were being transferred.
08:37I wanted to see you before that happened.
08:40How are you?
08:42Incarcerated.
08:44Besides that?
08:46I'm all right.
08:49Resigned to my fate, I suppose.
08:53Helps that nothing's waiting for me on the outside.
08:58And you?
09:00I'm...
09:03doing well.
09:05That's it?
09:07Did you expect more?
09:09My mother told me you're living with Sonny.
09:11Ah.
09:13I'd be lying if I said I wasn't the least bit curious.
09:17What's going on there?
09:19Well, it started as a safety precaution after the break-in at Windermere.
09:23Never known you to be afraid of the dark.
09:26I do have a daughter to protect.
09:28A daughter that you share with Sonny.
09:30That's right.
09:32You said it started as a safety precaution, so...
09:37what is it now?
09:40Why am I discussing this with you?
09:42Because I'm safe.
09:44Trapped in here with nothing to gain.
09:47Or trapped in here with nothing to lose.
09:49There's always something to lose.
09:52I think we both learned that the hard way.
09:56My relationship with Sonny has...
10:01evolved, let's say.
10:03Hmm.
10:04For the worse?
10:05For the better?
10:08Best it's ever been.
10:11What do you need? I can give you a ride to G.H.
10:13I can call someone for you.
10:14Oh, no, no, no, no. I'm just...
10:16I'm fine. The baby was just kicking up a storm.
10:18Oh, okay. Good.
10:20Actually, I'm glad I ran into you.
10:21Well, you're running. I'm not.
10:23But you get the point.
10:24I do. What's up?
10:25Listen, I'm a straight shooter, so I'm just going to come out and ask you.
10:30Jocelyn told me that my dad ordered you to kill Cyrus.
10:35That's not true, is it?
10:38This thing between Sonny and me...
10:40Is toxic?
10:42I was going to say hard to define.
10:45But it's working.
10:47Recent betrayals have left Sonny feeling hurt and alone.
10:51And he's found in me somebody he can trust.
10:54We support each other.
10:56We rely on each other.
10:59Are you in love with Sonny Corinthos?
11:02No.
11:04Why?
11:05Are you jealous?
11:06Always.
11:08I mean, do I find him attractive? Yes.
11:10And I'm not saying that my feelings won't change in the future.
11:13But for now, I'm just happy to be on the same side.
11:19Must be nice for Avery.
11:21Yes. It is.
11:23Honestly, I've never seen her so happy.
11:26She's got both her parents. We're all living together under the same roof.
11:30And she's loving it.
11:33And as for me, you know, I'm used to skating on such thin ice with Sonny.
11:36Always this close to a custody battle.
11:39It's such a relief to not constantly be bracing for that.
11:45Makes sense.
11:47Well, why do you say it like that?
11:49Like what?
11:51Like you're not completely sold.
11:53Oh, I'm sold.
11:54I get that you like not fighting with Sonny and that it's healthy for Avery and blah, blah, blah.
12:00But that is not the part that you get off on the most.
12:04You do tell.
12:06You like being in the inner sanctum.
12:09In Sonny's coveted circle of trust.
12:12The one he leans on.
12:14The one he confides in.
12:16The one he believes.
12:19Damn right I do.
12:21I've had other offers throughout the year.
12:24Other people wanting to buy you back your half of the hotel.
12:28Yeah. Sonny, my son Michael, even Nina Reeves offered to sell it back to me in the name of peace.
12:34So she said.
12:36I'm guessing you weren't feeling that peaceful towards Nina Reeves.
12:39Uh, no.
12:40And the ex-husband, I get.
12:42But why not accept the offer from your son?
12:45Because I didn't want to expose Michael to scrutiny from the SEC.
12:48Not that they would find anything, but I didn't want to put him through that kind of an investigation.
12:53It was bad enough when it happened to me.
12:57I'm guessing you already know all about this.
13:00Just because I'm FBI doesn't mean I'm familiar with every federal charge ever filed.
13:04But you are familiar with that one.
13:08Yeah.
13:10So, you know the ending, right? I messed up, I lost my hotel.
13:15And I was going to do everything in my power to get it back on my terms.
13:22But that just brings me back to my original question.
13:25If you weren't able to accept charity, for lack of a better term, from Sonny or Nina or Michael,
13:30how were you able to accept it from Jason?
13:35Because taking my hotel back wasn't for me.
13:41It was for him.
13:43Sonny's on one quarter of his bipolar medication and no one has any idea.
13:49I've got to hand it to you, Val.
13:51The strategy is simple, effective, hard to detect.
13:56If this were a project back when we were trainees, they'd steal your idea and put it in a textbook.
14:03However, we have a rather bigger, rather more pressing problem than Sonny.
14:06Jason Morgan, also known as Alan Jacobs, spent years at Pikeman, therefore knows too much.
14:12Yeah. I'm sure by now you've been back through his file and double-checked our screening process.
14:18How did Morgan get the job at Pikeman in the first place? Who messed up and where?
14:22The short answer is no one messed up because Alan Jacobs' history checks out.
14:26My supporting documents, his outstanding record of military service, everything seems legitimate.
14:33That's troubling.
14:34Someone went through a lot of trouble to put Jason Morgan at Pikeman.
14:38Someone capable of manipulating government records.
14:41Could be a business rival.
14:43There's a couple of other security firms that have that kind of tech.
14:47So sabotage Pikeman from within and steal our clients?
14:51Yeah, it's plausible.
14:53Except for Morgan himself. Why would he take the job? What was his incentive?
14:57Well, Jason has always had blind faith in Sonny Corinthos. It's kind of a defining character trait.
15:02Right. So what would make him disappear on Sonny?
15:05Not money. He was born a quarterman.
15:09So, if Morgan wasn't paid to infiltrate Pikeman, what if he was coerced?
15:15Yeah, but who could coerce a man like that? And who could deliver flawless credentials?
15:20The answer has three letters. Only question is, which ones?
15:26Yours is such an important story, Willow, and thank goodness it has a happy ending.
15:31I really, I hope you'll consider coming on board.
15:35Wow, I...
15:39Willow's a private person. She may not want to share her story with the world, even if it is for a worthy cause.
15:45I mean, I completely understand that. I don't want to pressure you.
15:49I definitely don't want you to feel uncomfortable in any way.
15:52Oh no, I know that. And I am so honored that you thought of me.
15:56You're the only person I thought of.
16:00Can I get back to you? I promise I won't take too long.
16:03Absolutely. Take as much time as you need.
16:05Because, while, yes, I do value my privacy, the fact that you're a private person
16:11means that I need you to do something.
16:25I don't think that we should talk about that.
16:28My God, it is true.
16:30Yeah.
16:31Yeah.
16:32Dex, I'm so sorry.
16:34You're not responsible for your father.
16:36No, but I feel so stupid and naive. I mean, I know my dad worked outside the law,
16:41but I can't believe he would put you in that position.
16:44Does he feel any better? It surprised me, too.
16:48Can I ask you another question?
16:50Sure.
16:51In the time that you've worked with my dad, has he seemed different in the end than he was in the beginning?
16:58I know that's vague.
16:59No, no, no. I get what you mean. Yeah.
17:01Towards the end, Sonny was more volatile, quicker to fly off the handle.
17:05Paranoid?
17:06Yeah. After the attack in Puerto Rico, he was convinced there was a traitor inside his organization.
17:12It didn't take him long to decide that it was me, and after that, there was no change in his mind.
17:16Okay, so it was after the shooting in Puerto Rico.
17:19Yeah, he'd always been volatile, but that's when it flipped to paranoia.
17:23Wait, when he even moved in.
17:26Christina? Something wrong?
17:32Jason thinks that I wouldn't have lost the hotel to begin with if he had been here.
17:38Do you agree?
17:39Probably.
17:42I mean, it's not Jason's fault. Something was obviously keeping him away.
17:45I mean, he's been through something.
17:47Jason told you that?
17:49No, I can see it in his eyes.
17:52And now that he's back home, there's so much that he can't get back or make up for.
17:56But this hotel, you know, it's the one thing he could fix.
18:00So you swallowed your pride and let him.
18:03Don't get me wrong, I am thrilled to have the hotel back, but I wouldn't have accepted it from anyone else.
18:10You took it from Jason. For him.
18:15Yeah. And I'd do it again.
18:19Enjoy your hotel, Carly.
18:21Enjoy your stay, Agent Cates.
18:27My defenses were up because I thought that someone was targeting me.
18:31Somebody was targeting you.
18:33Yeah, not that night though.
18:36When I got back to the apartment, I could see that someone had opened the door and I entered.
18:43And there was a figure standing there in the dark, rifling through my things.
18:50And they turned toward me. There was something in their hand.
18:58And I fired.
19:02You did what your instincts were telling you to do.
19:04You wouldn't have done that.
19:06Anna, you don't know that.
19:07Yeah, I do. You wouldn't have entered an apartment that was dark.
19:12And fired at a target that you couldn't see clearly.
19:16I... I wasn't there.
19:18It's impossible to say what would have or wouldn't have happened. You just can't.
19:23It's really hard for me to accept, you know, that that happened.
19:27And every time it flashes in my mind, I just try to block it out.
19:32I just...
19:33Mmm.
19:41I shot a child, Jason.
19:51I'm sorry.
19:53You should feel sorry for Charlotte.
19:55I feel sorry for you too.
19:59Had to be tough to live through that.
20:04I'm really glad Charlotte's okay.
20:06Oh, God. I don't know what I would have done if she hadn't made it.
20:11Anyway.
20:13So, what I'm saying is that it's impossible for me to... to look at Valentin and not think about his daughter.
20:21You see, to me, he is a father first. And a person of interest second.
20:26In which case...
20:29I think I'm putting this entire investigation at risk.
20:34I fear we've caught the interest of a government agency. FBI, CIA, NSA.
20:40MI5?
20:41Yeah. The only one we can be sure it's not is the WSB.
20:46They don't want to investigate Biden. They want to keep it running just the way it has for decades.
20:51You think the CIA put you in charge?
20:53I think we'd be idiots not to consider that possibility.
20:57I mean, Morgan's perfect. He's got the right skill set, but he's not an agent.
21:03I mean, you know, if we hadn't had the blind good luck to assign Morgan to an op in his own hometown, we'd never have tripped to him.
21:12You think that's good luck?
21:14Well, any luck's good if you know how to play it.
21:17Now that we know an intelligence firm is coming after us, we can adjust accordingly.
21:23Jack, this is going to have to be our last face-to-face. There can be nothing linking me to you.
21:27Right. And we still have to tie off Morgan.
21:32Well, I think we may have gotten a break there. Because Jason and Sonny are currently at odds.
21:37Yeah? How bad? I was scared I'd lose my job.
21:40Well, I think we may have gotten a break there. Because Jason and Sonny are currently at odds.
21:45Yeah? How bad? I was scared I'd lose my job.
21:46Yeah? How bad? I was scared I'd lose my job.
21:47I'll scale from creative differences to all-out war.
21:52From Sonny's perspective, the latter. And with him erratic and angry?
21:58We eliminate Jason and pin it on Sonny.
22:04Sorry, I didn't know that you were here.
22:06It's fine.
22:07We were just leaving.
22:08I will get back to you with an answer as soon as possible.
22:11Like I said, no rush.
22:12And thank you again so much for thinking of me.
22:23Willow barely said a word to me.
22:25Because we were in the middle of a meeting, Nina.
22:28Did you see her smile? Just a little?
22:30Maybe I could call her. No, you know what? I think texting is more appropriate.
22:34I think you should give Willow some space.
22:36Now, what was so important that you had to barge into my office without knocking again?
22:40Well, Carly is giving me a hard time about doing standard maintenance on my office.
22:45Really? I wonder where she got that idea from?
22:49Remember, Drew, we are on the same team.
22:52In what world am I on the same team as you?
22:56One where Carly and Jason screwed us both over?
23:01So what's the plan?
23:03For?
23:06Payback.
23:10Everything's fine.
23:12Are you sure? Because things looked a little tense.
23:14Yeah, no, it's fine. The baby was just kicking and...
23:21I asked Dex if what you told me about my dad was true.
23:26Oh.
23:28You were right.
23:30Well, for the record, I wish I wasn't.
23:32And looking back, I certainly did not have to tell you the way that I did.
23:43Well, I should probably get going, so it's good to see you.
23:49Dex, wait.
23:52I like it.
23:53Thought you might.
23:54But, you need to tread carefully and make it look convincing.
23:59Otherwise, Anna will totally be on to you.
24:02I heard she came to see you.
24:04She wanted to know all about Pikeman.
24:06She seemed to think that somehow I'd know who was running the show.
24:10And what did you tell her?
24:11I gave her nothing.
24:13But Anna's closing in, Val.
24:16You know, we can take precautions against the NSA or whoever it is that has Pikeman under scrutiny.
24:23But our defenses against Anna are limited.
24:25She knows us both.
24:26She knows our history.
24:28She was there when we sold her the money to fund Pikeman.
24:32Now, all she has to do is put those pieces together.
24:37And she's plenty smart enough to do that.
24:40She's already come to see me to talk about Pikeman.
24:43She asked me about your involvement.
24:45And I stonewalled her.
24:46And she believed you.
24:48Of course.
24:50Trust me.
24:51Anna's not going to be a problem.
24:53Every instinct in my body is just screaming that Valentin is more involved in Pikeman than he is saying.
24:59But for the reasons that I just outlined when I questioned him, I come up empty.
25:05I just, I think I'm incapable of being objective.
25:09Oh, and this is where I come in?
25:12Yeah.
25:14You're good at rational thinking.
25:16Yeah.
25:18You're good at rational thinking, yeah?
25:21That's what I hear.
25:23And I'm just wondering, maybe you can get a read on Valentin?
25:26Because he's not going to be as suspicious of you as he would be of me.
25:29Right. Look, I'll do anything I can to help you.
25:32But you may not trust your own judgment.
25:36I do.
25:38And I always will.
25:40Thank you.
25:44I have a lead for you.
25:45Great, what?
25:46Well, Dex confirmed for me that Sonny did, in fact, take that shipment from Pikeman.
25:53Yeah, I got my own reasons to talk to this guy, Dex.
25:56I'll follow up, and I'll see if he knows anything about Valentin.
26:01I know I'll always be here for backup.
26:03I know.
26:04Jason!
26:05Jason!
26:11Oh, look, the gang's all here.
26:13Except, wait, you're missing a member.
26:15I don't care what you were doing here.
26:18The investigation into Pikeman is stalled.
26:21Care to explain why?
26:28Buying the MetroCorp for Carly Spencer?
26:31Just because you're back in Port Charles with access to your bank accounts does not make you a free man.
26:37Understood.
26:39I want an update on Pikeman. Now.
26:42There's nothing to report right now.
26:44Now you listen up, Morgan.
26:46Either you figure out a way to give me what I want,
26:50or Carly will lose the hotel. Again.
26:54Because she will be up on Rico charges.
26:56Oh, hi! My two favorite people.
27:00It's already looking so much better in here.
27:02You think?
27:03Yeah, the MetroCorp has missed your special touch.
27:05Thank you.
27:06Well, what are you guys doing here?
27:08Late lunch? Early dinner? Drinks? Do you know? We do it all.
27:11No, we're not sure just yet.
27:13All right, well, let me know when you decide.
27:15Um, duty calls.
27:17Excuse me.
27:19Your mom seems so happy.
27:22Yeah, she does.
27:23So, what do you think about Drew's offer?
27:28I mean, I was flattered and really surprised.
27:32Look, I don't want you to feel pressured.
27:35We're 100% fine if you say no.
27:38Is that what you think I should do?
27:41You knock yourself out. I'm not interested in payback.
27:45Since when? I mean, you really enjoyed getting even with me.
27:49Why are you letting Carly and Jason off the hook?
27:52Carly and Jason didn't send me to prison.
27:55If you weren't sent away, Drew,
27:58then you and Carly would have been married by the time Jason came back home.
28:01And how humiliating would that have been?
28:04Oh, I see. So, you actually saved me from divorce.
28:07That's right.
28:08So, do you want me to thank you?
28:11What I want right now doesn't really require any words.
28:14What I want right now doesn't really require any words.
28:32Oh, is it too much for you, Drew?
28:44I owe you an explanation.
28:45You don't owe me anything.
28:47It wasn't my place to say anything to Christina,
28:50but at the time, I was just very scared of what Sonny might do to you,
28:55and I thought that if I told Christina, it would help.
28:59You're not scared anymore?
29:01No, I think that you're going to be just fine.
29:04Have you heard from the Academy?
29:06Not yet.
29:08Well, I'm sure you'll get in.
29:09We'll see.
29:11PCPD would be lucky to have you.
29:12You really think so?
29:14I know so.
29:16All those years I spent with my nose pressed up against the window,
29:22on the outside looking in, despised, ridiculed by everybody in Sonny's orbit.
29:27Not Nina.
29:29No.
29:31No, not Nina.
29:35But the collapse of Sonny and Nina was inevitable.
29:38I mean, she never had a chance of really understanding him.
29:42Not like I do.
29:44Because Sonny wasn't the man that she thought he was.
29:48Do you know what I'm really loving?
29:51What I'm really tickled pink about,
29:54is that finally, Carly is getting a taste of her own medicine.
29:59Now we're getting somewhere.
30:01Glaring down her nose at reprehensible, despicable Ava Jerome.
30:05Repeatedly slamming the door in my face.
30:08Well, guess who's in charge of entry now?
30:11You.
30:12Me.
30:13And she can be the ousted traitor.
30:15I'm the trusted confidante.
30:17Sonny makes you feel powerful.
30:20Yeah.
30:21Yeah.
30:23But I am helping him, too.
30:25How so?
30:32Sonny is out.
30:34Sonny is on a quarter dose of his medication.
30:38Did you arrange it?
30:39No.
30:40No, absolutely not.
30:42And I have to find out who's responsible.
30:44In the meantime, I know that Sonny is vulnerable and I'm watching out for him.
30:48Whoa, whoa, whoa.
30:49You're saying that you haven't told Sonny?
30:57You both know I have a lot to make up for.
30:59Look, if I've come off as some perfect angel, I know that I'm not.
31:04I have done things that I'm not proud of.
31:07And I don't even know why I did them.
31:11I just know that they didn't make me feel like me.
31:15Does that make sense?
31:17It makes a lot of sense.
31:19There is a scale, Joss.
31:21Bad things you've done versus the bad things that I've done.
31:24I'm not trying to compare.
31:26I'm not trying to compare.
31:29I'm just saying that I know that I've messed up too.
31:33So, I shouldn't stand in judgment of anybody else.
31:38And that includes you.
31:56Come on.
32:17No, I haven't told Sonny.
32:20Why not?
32:22Never mind.
32:23I think I know.
32:24You like quarter-medicated Sonny, don't you?
32:27He's receptive to you in a way he's never been before.
32:32Getting along very well, yes.
32:34Getting along?
32:35Playing house, Ava.
32:37Well, as long as I'm watching out for Sonny.
32:40What's the downside?
32:41How much time do you cut?
32:44If Sonny finds out what's wrong and that you knew.
32:47If he even suspects that you had a hand in this.
32:49Well, I didn't.
32:50But you didn't try and fix it.
32:52Okay, Sonny's not rational.
32:55I'm playing with real fire here.
32:58You almost sound like you care.
33:01You know I do.
33:03And yet you always underestimate me.
33:09I know what I'm doing.
33:16God, I hope so.
33:19Do you think I wouldn't be good at it?
33:20No, I think.
33:21Actually, no, I know that you'd be amazing with whatever you put your mind to.
33:24I just, I don't want you to feel obligated, Willow.
33:26That's all.
33:28If you do decide to take the job, just make sure it's what you, what you really want.
33:33Well, Drew told me I could think on it.
33:36So, that's what I'm gonna do.
33:38Okay.
33:41Carly stays free as long as you do what the FBI asks of you.
33:44Are we clear?
33:47Clear.
33:49Clear.
33:50Good.
33:51Now, we both know you spent years running contraband through here.
33:56I suggest you renew your contacts and find out how Pikeman is moving their shipments through Port Charles and when they plan to do it again.
34:10I do what I have to to get the results I need.
34:12Maybe.
34:14But I can tell you don't like yourself very much when you treat Jason like that.
34:18It doesn't matter how any of us feel about it.
34:21What matters is we get it done.
34:24Don't worry, Jack. I know how to play Anna.
34:29You better be right.
34:31For her sake.
34:33I like Anna.
34:34I always have.
34:37But the WSB has too much invested in Pikeman, okay?
34:41If she threatens that, take a wild guess what's gonna happen to her.
34:46Nothing's gonna happen.
34:47No.
34:48You want to protect her, Val. Really.
34:50You want to keep her safe.
34:52Keep your distance.
34:55The more time you spend with Anna, the greater the risk you'll give yourself away.
35:02That's all the time I have for you, Jack.
35:06I need to get going.
