00:00Whoa.
00:06Oh, hi Jason.
00:08Agent Cates came to see me about Pike.
00:11You better come in.
00:19I wanted to be here when you got home from work,
00:21but I had to take the kids to school.
00:23Don't leave me in suspense.
00:25How did Anna take it
00:25when you told her you were quitting the force?
00:27Did she want me to give a notice of some sort?
00:29Like a month?
00:30That seems kind of fair of you, yeah?
00:33Sam, I didn't resign.
00:39We should do this more often.
00:43I agree.
00:46Barely eating and barely talking.
00:50So what's up?
00:51I'm sorry.
00:52I know we're supposed to be out for a nice lunch together.
00:54I'm just a million miles away.
01:00This has to do with your visit with Heather.
01:04I take it it didn't go well?
01:06Just the opposite.
01:08It went really well.
01:11And that's why I'm troubled.
01:15Hey, what brings you by?
01:17I just wanted to say hi, unless this is a bad time.
01:20No, it's a perfect time.
01:22I'm actually in between patients right now.
01:25I'm surprised you have any free time at all,
01:27considering it's almost your wedding day.
01:30Yeah, yeah, we're really in the home stretch.
01:32Yeah, how you feeling?
01:34I'm excited.
01:35Yeah, I can't wait for Brooklyn to walk down the aisle.
01:38I mean, yeah.
01:41There's just one big problem.
01:42Only one?
01:44I really don't want Dad flying to Coney Island
01:47for the rehearsal dinner.
01:49The last thing I want is for him to be tired
01:52and wear himself out the day before the wedding.
01:54But how do I tell him that
01:55when I know how much he's looking forward to it?
01:59You don't.
02:00Thank you for helping me pick out
02:02all the rehearsal dinner gifts.
02:03I just hope everyone likes them.
02:05Oh, come on.
02:06Chase's family is so gracious.
02:08They're gonna love when we bought him.
02:10And even if they don't like it,
02:12they're never gonna tell us.
02:13Now, Tracy, on the other hand.
02:15Oh, please.
02:16I think Tracy is secretly looking forward to Coney Island.
02:18She just won't admit it to herself.
02:21No way.
02:22What way?
02:25Don't be obvious.
02:26But that guy over there is that dirtbag FBI agent
02:30who tried to question Danny without Sam present.
02:38Oh my God.
02:39That's Jagger Cates.
02:42Well, well, well.
02:46This guy just got a hundred percent better.
02:57Well, well, well.
03:11Gorilla, I can't believe how long it's been.
03:14It is so good to see you.
03:17You have not changed.
03:18Oh, well, you know what?
03:19I don't even care if you're being nice.
03:21I'm gonna take that compliment.
03:22Now, don't you care about what this guy did to Danny?
03:26And I know that you know my daughter, Brooklyn.
03:28We've met, unfortunately, not under the best of circumstances.
03:31Putting it mildly.
03:33Actually, I've been meaning to find you, Brooklyn.
03:35Miss Quartermain, and why would you want to see me again?
03:38You want to interrogate me, too?
03:40Not at all.
03:41I owe you an apology.
03:43And my thanks.
03:48Heather was so much more rational this time.
03:51She was more clear-headed than I have seen her in years.
03:54It was like I had a glimpse of the old Heather
03:56from way back when.
03:58Well, that makes sense now that she's getting
04:00the medical attention she needs.
04:03And I gave her a picture of Ace and Kevin.
04:07She was so grateful.
04:08It clearly meant so much to her.
04:12She loves that little boy.
04:14Well, of course she does, but honestly, who wouldn't?
04:18And then we talked about Esme.
04:22Did Heather happen to say anything upsetting?
04:26Maybe about Spencer?
04:27She didn't mention Spencer, but it was actually just
04:31in the context of her regrets.
04:34I don't know, I just realized in talking to her
04:37that despite all the crimes that she's committed
04:42and her crazy outlook on life, she's really
04:44just another grieving mother who's missing her child.
04:50Well, of course you can empathize with that.
04:53I do.
04:54You see why I'm distracted?
04:56I am empathizing with a serial killer.
05:01I went into Hannah's office to talk to her.
05:04I put my resignation letter on her desk
05:06and said she refused to accept it.
05:11What exactly did Hannah say?
05:14She said that resigning from the force
05:16was not going to solve this conflict that I'm having.
05:22That it was going to open the door to further
05:25overtures from Sonny.
05:27The boundaries would be gone.
05:30Without my badge, Sonny would see no reason
05:32to have distance between me and his business.
05:37She basically said that to get out of Sonny's orbit,
05:42I'd have to leave Port Charles.
05:45I'm not going to do that.
05:48OK, I'm not going to run away.
05:51I just, I got to thinking, I kind of felt like I
05:54was running away from my duty.
06:02I'm a cop, Sam.
06:07It's what I love to do.
06:09It's kind of the only thing I'm good at.
06:11But, you know, it just means I can't be on a case
06:16that Sonny's a part of.
06:17Like, right now, he's involved in some criminal investigation,
06:23right?
06:27Can you say something?
06:30Be a little quiet.
06:34I just, I don't want to say the wrong thing.
06:41You can't say the wrong thing.
06:42I'm going to work through this with you.
06:43So just say, say whatever you want to say.
06:47I should have known better than to get my arms up.
06:53What did Kate say about Pikeman?
06:55Well, he asked a lot of questions
06:57about the ties between Pikeman and Sonny.
07:00And he talked about that guy up in Pettinville.
07:03Oh, Jack Brennan.
07:08Yeah, he talked about how Brennan was the director
07:10of the WSB and the alleged head of Pikeman.
07:13You know what the funny thing is, though?
07:14He didn't, he didn't even mention Valentin.
07:17I don't think Kate's or the FBI is aware
07:19that Valentin's involved.
07:21That's interesting.
07:22Did you mention Valentin to Kate's?
07:24No.
07:25No, my deal with the FBI is to take Pikeman down.
07:28Listen, I don't, I don't trust Kate's.
07:30I'm not going to give them any more information
07:31than, than I have to.
07:32Well, I can't fault you there.
07:35Um, Jason,
07:40if we're going to do this,
07:42I feel like we should have full transparency.
07:46I think I need to know what it is
07:47that the FBI is holding over you
07:50and what evidence they have against Carly.
07:55I don't get many visitors.
07:57So they never expected you to show up.
08:00I've been thinking about you.
08:02Well, that's encouraging.
08:04I've been thinking that you lied to me
08:06about who you were
08:07and you tried to abduct me from my own restaurant.
08:11I never had any intention of abducting you.
08:14You had zip ties.
08:16Yes, I did.
08:17And I can see how that might look.
08:20I apologize if you got the wrong impression,
08:23but zip ties were standard in my profession.
08:27So I've always carried them.
08:28But I never had any intention of trying to harm you
08:32in any way with zip ties.
08:33They just happened to be in your pocket.
08:35And sadly, you jumped to the wrong conclusion
08:38and nearly took off my head with that tray.
08:40But to say, no hard feelings over here.
08:44Let's just chalk it up to miscommunication.
08:47Let's.
08:49I also remember that night
08:51that Anna and Dante came in with their guns drawn
08:54and they arrested you.
08:55Now, it's still a little blurry,
08:58but I think Anna said something
09:00about you being involved with a company
09:04or an organization named Pikeman.
09:10Anna said a lot of things about me.
09:12It's not all of them is true.
09:19Close, we were talking,
09:20I was running through all these options in my head.
09:23And I've got to tell you, there are no easy answers.
09:28You're right.
09:29We can't leave Port Charles because it's our home.
09:33Our families are here.
09:35We're happy here.
09:36We are.
09:37And the thing about you being a cop,
09:41if you gave up your badge,
09:42yes, you would probably get dragged in deeper
09:47into Sonny's business.
09:48I don't know.
09:49We don't know that, but we don't want that.
09:50But Dante, when you told me
09:54that you wanted to give up your badge,
09:57I had this huge wave of relief come over me.
10:02It was like I could finally breathe for a second
10:05because I was able to get just this tiny little glimpse
10:11into what our future could look like
10:15if I didn't have to worry every time you went to work
10:19and walked out that door.
10:22Look, I don't think it's safe for Dad
10:23to be flying right now either.
10:25So look, I'll go to him and from a medical standpoint,
10:28I'll break the news to him.
10:30No, I can't let you do that.
10:33Look, it's gonna be hard,
10:33but I owe it to Dad to have the conversation with him,
10:37especially after the huge effort he made
10:39to be a part of my wedding.
10:41Although telling him he can't be a part of the fun
10:44the night before, it's a hell of a way of saying thank you.
10:47I'm sorry.
10:48Before, it's a hell of a way of saying thank you.
10:51Yeah, look, I just, just be honest with him, bro.
10:55All right, just remind him
10:56that by staying home from the rehearsal dinner
10:58and resting, it ensures that he'll be well enough
11:01to be there and to enjoy your actual wedding day.
11:05That's true, but I don't know
11:06if he's gonna see it that way.
11:08Dad never wants you spending the most important day
11:11of your life worrying about him.
11:13And he'll know that this will put your mind at ease.
11:15He'll understand because you've always been
11:18a devoted son.
11:20Come on, you're a good son too, babe.
11:25We both know that's not true.
11:28My arrest was purely political.
11:31Made a lot of enemies on my rise to director of the WSB.
11:35My rivals framed me just to get me out of the way.
11:39You were locked up because people were jealous of you?
11:42Mm-hmm.
11:43And there were also allegations,
11:47completely untrue by the way,
11:48that I was secretly head of Pikeman,
11:50as if one could secretly head up a major arms manufacturer.
11:55So here I sit,
11:58the prisoner of my own ambition, one might say.
12:01Framed for crimes that I did not commit
12:04so that someone else can run the WSB.
12:07That's a sad story.
12:09It is sad, so I try not to dwell on it.
12:11Let's talk about something else.
12:13Distract me from my misery.
12:16Tell me all about you.
12:19You wanna thank me?
12:22I was wrong to question Danny without a parent present.
12:26It may have been technically legal,
12:27but I shouldn't have done it.
12:28And you had every right to call me out.
12:31And I'm grateful that you stopped me
12:33from doing something I would have regretted.
12:36Well, that's very nice of you to say,
12:38if you really mean it.
12:40Once I walked away,
12:42I realized how furious I would have been
12:44if somebody had questioned my son when he was Danny's age.
12:47You made me see that.
12:48You have a son?
12:50I do.
12:52It's the best thing that ever happened to me.
12:54His name is Stone.
12:57You named him after your brother?
13:00What a beautiful way to honor his memory.
13:02Thank you.
13:03I just wish they could have met.
13:08Oh, this is perfect timing.
13:10I've got to go meet Chase down at the station.
13:13So you guys can catch up.
13:14Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
13:15Hey, I thought we were having coffee.
13:17You never said anything about meeting Chase earlier.
13:19I'm so sorry, Ma, I completely forgot.
13:22If your daughter has to leave, please join me.
13:25Coffee's on me.
13:27I would love that.
13:29Thank you so much for helping me shop, Ma.
13:31You're welcome.
13:33Agent Case, bye.
13:37We have so much to catch up on.
13:41I need your word that you will not use anything.
13:46That whatever I say stays between us.
13:49Of course, this is the FBI's case.
13:52It's not mine.
13:52I'm under no obligation to act on any information
13:55that you would give me.
13:56Not that I would anyway.
13:58Whatever you tell me is between us.
14:01You have my word.
14:04Okay.
14:05The FBI has a recording of Carly
14:10at a meeting with other heads of organized crime families
14:16saying that she's in charge of the Corinthos organization
14:20and saying that she controls all the business
14:22that goes through the Corinthos territory.
14:24Oh, I had no idea that Carly was involved
14:28in the mob so deeply.
14:29She wasn't.
14:31It's when we thought she was.
14:32So deeply.
14:33She wasn't.
14:34It's when we thought Sonny was dead.
14:37His business was completely under siege.
14:39We were doing everything we could to hold it together
14:41and look strong as possible.
14:42I was supposed to be at that meeting,
14:45but I had been shot, so Carly went instead.
14:48Oh, against your wishes, I'm sure.
14:50Yeah, I mean, I didn't want her to go,
14:52but she didn't have a choice.
14:53She had to protect herself.
14:53She had to protect her kids.
14:54She knew that any sign of weakness,
14:56someone from another family would try to eliminate her
14:59and target her kids.
15:00So Carly's best defense was to present herself
15:03as part of the mob.
15:05And the FBI has it all on tape.
15:12I can't deny a part of me will always want that,
15:18but Dante, a cop is who you are.
15:21It's who you were when I fell in love with you
15:23and I knew what I was getting myself into
15:26and I can't try to ask you to change
15:30or be something you're not.
15:34Well, I gotta say, that's a huge relief.
15:37I can't ask you to be another man.
15:41The only thing I can control
15:46is my response to your choices.
15:50So will you stay with me if I'm still a cop?
15:56Metallosis, cobalt poisoning,
15:58manifests differently in different patients.
16:02In Heather's case, it seems to have tipped her
16:05from transgressive behaviors to a pathology
16:09that led to rampage.
16:11Okay, so then what's next?
16:13Is it right to just leave Heather in prison
16:16for the rest of her life to pay for crimes
16:19that were actually brought on by the metallosis
16:23and on the basis of her actions?
16:25And on the other hand, what about all the victims, you know?
16:29And all of their loved ones, their loss,
16:31their pain is still very real.
16:34Would it ever be appropriate to show Heather leniency?
16:38Chase, you're the reason why I have a relationship
16:40with Dad today.
16:42You were tireless when you were trying
16:45to reconcile the two of us.
16:47I wanted nothing to do with Dad
16:48and you refused to accept that.
16:51I knew you'd regret it later.
16:52I do, I hurt him.
16:55I was so stubborn and self-righteous at the time.
17:01I know you still feel guilty,
17:03but that was a long time ago.
17:06You and Dad are good now.
17:08Don't you think it's time to leave it in the past?
17:10I lost so much precious time with him
17:13because of my pride and my anger.
17:18Time that I will never get back.
17:19Finn, you got to stop beating yourself up.
17:24Dad has always loved you
17:28and he always will.
17:31Why didn't you call the FBI's brothers?
17:34You know, let them proceed against Carly.
17:37She has an excellent lawyer.
17:38She may well have beat the charges.
17:40With no guarantee, I couldn't take that risk.
17:44I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
17:50Man, at first I thought it would just be three months,
17:53six months, but now I'm almost three years in.
18:00I'm just in too deep.
18:02Look, I don't want Carly to know
18:04that all of this was to protect her.
18:06Why not?
18:08I mean, she's a strong woman.
18:10I think she deserves to know what the FBI has on her.
18:13Because if she ever finds out,
18:14I know exactly what her reaction's gonna be.
18:17She's gonna try to save me.
18:20She's gonna do something crazy.
18:23Wind up sending herself to prison.
18:26If all things went sideways,
18:30I really look forward to talking to you.
18:33So let's pretend we're at your restaurant
18:35and I've just ordered a coffee and some eggs, sunny side up.
18:43How's the world been treating you?
18:45Well, my daughter just had her first dance recital.
18:48Soccer girl.
18:50Yeah, yeah, that's the one.
18:52And she nailed her solo, so I'm a proud mom.
18:56That must be a good feeling.
18:57It is.
18:59Recently went through a breakup.
19:02That's been tough.
19:04But I'm getting through it, you know.
19:06Mostly because my friend, my best friend is back
19:10and he was missing for two years
19:12and he was missing for two years
19:13and now Jason is back in Port Charles
19:16and all is right in my world.
19:19Jason Morgan, he got a lot of news coverage, right?
19:22I mean, at first he was a fugitive
19:24and then he was exonerated
19:26or at least the charges were dropped, is that?
19:29Yeah, you can't believe everything the news says, right?
19:31Yeah.
19:32I mean, Jason didn't do any of the things he was accused of.
19:35And enough talk about me, let's get back to you.
19:38Oh, that's right, you came here
19:39because you want to know about Pikeman.
19:42Yeah.
19:43You sure you're not involved with them?
19:46If I was, I'd have the fleet of lawyers
19:49working to secure my freedom
19:51instead of me paying my own little attorney
19:53out of my own little pocket.
19:56So it would mean nothing to you
19:58that the FBI is investigating Pikeman.
20:04This is for you to make.
20:06Carly's safety versus you having to allow
20:09the people you love to think that you were dead.
20:12I just weighed what I had to lose
20:14against what Carly had to lose.
20:16Just came down to our kids, you know?
20:18I knew Jake and Danny would be okay
20:20because they have great moms and stable homes,
20:22but Donna, I mean, she's just a kid, she needs her mom.
20:29That's very admirable of you.
20:32There's another reason.
20:36I chose to work for Sonny.
20:39I chose to come back into this life
20:41knowing the potential consequences.
20:43Carly never chose that.
20:46Me and Sonny pulled her in.
20:48I mean, Carly went to that meeting.
20:49She had no criminal intent.
20:51She was just going to try to protect her family.
20:54You got Carly into this.
20:56And it's on me to get her out.
21:00You're a charming woman, Carly,
21:01but I just don't see you being tied with law enforcement.
21:06How would you know who the FBI is investigating?
21:11Because I'm friends with an agent, John Cates.
21:15Yeah, he comes into Bobby's to eat something.
21:18And you struck up an acquaintance.
21:21We have people in common.
21:24You know, John is originally from Fort Charles
21:26and has recently moved back.
21:29Why, to work a case against Pikeman?
21:32Why the entrance?
21:34You have a problem with John Cates being in town?
21:37Should I have a problem?
21:40I've been talking to you, Ray Rolfe.
21:41Enough about me.
21:42Tell me about you.
21:42I mean, how did you wind up at the FBI?
21:48Well, after my first marriage to Karen broke up,
21:53I was kind of reeling,
21:54and that's when I joined the Bureau.
21:56Hey, I was really sorry to hear about Karen's death.
22:00Thank you.
22:03It took me a while to make my peace with losing her.
22:07You know, they say that the ones we love
22:11never really leave us.
22:13But you know what?
22:13Enough about that.
22:14Let's talk about something happy.
22:15I want to hear about your son, Stone.
22:18Oh, I mean, talk about time flying.
22:22He's 21 now.
22:24Stone's on the spectrum,
22:25so he lives in a group home outside of Quantico.
22:28It's the perfect place for him,
22:29and he's really happy there.
22:31Oh, it's gotta be so hard for you, though,
22:33being so far away.
22:34It is.
22:35I wish I could see him more,
22:36but this is the way it has to be for now,
22:39so there's a lot of texts and a lot of video chats.
22:42Oh, thank God for cell phones.
22:46And what about you?
22:47How's it been coming back to Port Charles?
22:50I mean, so much has changed.
22:51I know, I know.
22:53You know, all of our old hangouts,
22:55they're all gone, except for this place,
22:57but you know, it used to be Kelly's.
22:59But I mean, places aren't the only thing that's changed.
23:01We have, too.
23:03Well, I guess I should only speak for myself,
23:05but I know I've changed.
23:09All the dreams I had when I was young,
23:11you know, turned out to either be wrong for me
23:14or slip through my fingers.
23:19I do believe that Heather's metalosis
23:21was a major factor in her crimes,
23:24but it's impossible to say that was the only cause.
23:29But couldn't there be some middle ground?
23:30I mean, at least from a legal point of view.
23:34Philosophically speaking,
23:35I believe that Heather should have a shot
23:38at building a better life,
23:40but not with absolving her for everything she's done.
23:43No, that's the hospital.
23:47I need to take this.
23:48Oh, yeah, go ahead, I'm fine.
23:49I'll be right back.
23:52Oh.
23:59Laura?
24:01Valentin.
24:02Hope you don't mind if I impose.
24:04That depends.
24:06What is it about?
24:10Okay, let's settle then, all right?
24:12I'll go to Dad and I will talk to him
24:14about staying home and resting during the rehearsal dinner,
24:17and you just focus on getting married
24:19and having the best day of your life, all right?
24:22Thank you, Finn.
24:24I don't know what I'd do without you.
24:26Well, hey, you remember that and be forgiving
24:30when I stumble through my best man speech.
24:33Okay.
24:40Life together.
24:44Is something like this worth breaking up for?
24:52I mean, what would I do?
24:54I would have to tell you and Rocco to leave.
24:58I mean, what would be the point?
24:59To separate our children so they would be miserable apart
25:05while we're still missing each other?
25:08So you don't want me to leave?
25:12It's not like I would love you any less
25:16or be less afraid of your safety if we weren't together.
25:23All I would lose is you.
25:26So I will just have to learn to live with the fear.
25:35I'm sorry.
25:37I'm sorry that I'm making you feel that way.
25:39I hate it, and if I could take that fear away from you,
25:44I would.
25:45I know.
25:47And I'm really sorry that I gave you this false hope
25:52that I was gonna resign.
25:53Well, I can't pretend that I'm not disappointed.
25:57You know, I'm gonna have to feel these emotions
26:02and just learn to work through it.
26:05Whatever you need, however I can help you.
26:07Okay, I just, probably a little time
26:10so I can process it all, you know?
26:14Whatever you need.
26:16I promise you I will never take you for granted,
26:18you or what you're sacrificing, okay?
26:21I love you.
26:22I love you.
26:28Hey, what are you doing here?
26:30I thought you were gonna spend the day with your mom.
26:31Yeah, well, she ran into a friend,
26:33so I came here to distract you
26:35from your very important work.
26:37Well, I only just got here.
26:39I actually went to speak to Finn
26:41and he agreed to talk to Dad
26:43about not coming to the rehearsal dinner.
26:46That was nice of him.
26:48Look, I'm really sad that Gregory's not gonna be there,
26:50but I do think it's what's best.
26:53And now he'll be well-rested for the actual wedding day.
26:57That's the idea.
26:59You know, I thought that my mom was crazy
27:04for wanting to have the rehearsal dinner in Coney Island,
27:06but now that it's here, I'm actually really excited.
27:09I can't wait to show you all my favorite places
27:12and to have cotton candy with you on the boardwalk
27:15and to go on all the rides together.
27:16Yeah, we are gonna be so busy
27:18that we're not gonna have time
27:19to have any pre-wedding jitters,
27:20which everyone keeps warning me about.
27:22I've been waiting for them to happen, but so far, nothing.
27:24Really?
27:25Because I am a total wreck.
27:29I totally get what you're going through,
27:31because I feel it too.
27:34Being back in Port Charles
27:35is harder than I thought it would be.
27:39What's that saying?
27:40You can never really go home again.
27:42Yeah, ain't that the truth?
27:45But you know, listen, don't get me wrong.
27:46The last few months I've spent here with my daughter,
27:49before she gets married, starts a family,
27:52and doesn't have as much time for her ma, has been amazing.
27:56You know, it's a gift I'm always gonna treasure.
27:59But it's like you said, you know,
28:02being back here, it's a constant reminder
28:06of what my life was, what I thought it would be,
28:10and how it actually turned out.
28:13But Jagger, different is not necessarily bad.
28:23I thought you might like to hear
28:24how Charlotte's doing in Switzerland.
28:26Oh, that would be lovely.
28:27I always love to hear about my granddaughter.
28:29Well, she's busying herself with school.
28:32She's checking in with me once or twice a week
28:34by text or phone.
28:36We actually video chatted the other day,
28:37and I saw her room, so she's thriving.
28:40Oh, I didn't realize how much I needed to hear that.
28:44That's so great.
28:45I mean, she sent me a couple of emails,
28:46but nothing on a regular basis.
28:48Well, she's a teenager.
28:49We take what we can get.
28:51That's true.
28:53Yeah, she did talk quite a bit
28:56about how much she missed that school of hers,
28:58so I'm glad that she's happy to be back there.
29:01But do you think now that she's in Switzerland,
29:03she'll be able to put everything that happened
29:05here in Port Charles behind her?
29:09All right, say this does go according to plan,
29:12and you're able to deliver John whatever the hell it is
29:15that he wants on Pikeman.
29:17You think the FBI is going to hold up
29:21their side of the deal?
29:22I mean, with my experience with intelligence agencies,
29:25I say it's very hard to believe
29:27that they would ever destroy that evidence.
29:29I mean, they might bury it for a time,
29:30but they will always have it to use against you and Carly.
29:35I plan to honor my part of the deal
29:37and help the FBI take Pikeman down,
29:39but after that, that's it.
29:40I'm done.
29:42I have no intention of taking orders from John Cates
29:44or the FBI for the rest of my life.
29:50Nanny, I feel so lucky to have you.
29:56I don't know what I would've done if I'd lost you.
30:43I know that we have put so much work
30:45into planning this wedding,
30:46but there's still so much that could go wrong.
30:48I mean, what if the flowers aren't what we wanted?
30:51What if my dress gets ruined?
30:53That's not gonna happen.
30:54Well, don't be so sure.
30:55I read this post about this custom designer gown.
30:59The bride was about to put it on,
31:00and somebody had left a black felt pen open,
31:04and there was a big black pen in the middle of the dress.
31:07And I thought, oh, my God,
31:09somebody had left a black felt pen open,
31:10and there was a big black blob in the middle of the dress.
31:13No, did they postpone the wedding?
31:15Article didn't say.
31:18Look, if that happens-
31:20God forbid.
31:21Then you can get married in blue jeans.
31:24You can get married in a bathrobe.
31:26You can wear the dress, ink, stains, and all.
31:29I don't care.
31:30It doesn't matter to me.
31:31That is so sweet of you to say,
31:34but that's impossible
31:35because our wedding day has to be perfect.
31:39But there is one thing that I am not nervous about,
31:41and that is marrying you.
31:43I cannot wait to be your wife.
31:45I can't wait to be your husband.
31:49I shouldn't kiss you in the squad room.
31:51No, you shouldn't.
31:54It'd be a bad idea.
32:04The FBI made a deal with you,
32:06and they need to stick to it.
32:06And if they don't,
32:07if they don't use their power,
32:08then frankly, in my books,
32:09they are no better than Pikeman.
32:11We have to take Pikeman down first.
32:18It seems to me that the FBI are not onto Valentin at all,
32:24but I still think he's a key player in Pikeman.
32:27And luckily, he invited me out to dinner,
32:31and I accepted.
32:33And I think that that would be an opportunity
32:36for me to work him.
32:38Do you think he'll give anything up?
32:40The date on the photo that Dex gave you,
32:41it proves that Valentin was here in Port Charles
32:45when there was the shooting at Metro Court.
32:47But he doesn't know that he was caught in a lie,
32:49so he has no reason to have his guard up.
32:52I think if I, if I play it right,
32:56he could lead us to whoever's in charge of Pikeman.
33:01I'm glad that Charlotte's happy back in school,
33:04but I can't help but worry a little bit
33:07that it might be too soon, you know,
33:09for her to be so far from Port Charles
33:11and all of her family.
33:13Yeah, I was worried about that, too.
33:14But as it happens, I have a new business venture
33:17that'll be taking me to Switzerland quite often
33:18so I can keep an eye on her.
33:20It should ease both of our minds.
33:22It does, actually.
33:24So what's the new venture?
33:25Is it something for ELQ?
33:28Something for ELQ.
33:30See, I think you're looking at this all wrong.
33:33I mean, you have achieved so much.
33:35Becoming an FBI agent, it's so impressive.
33:39Do you like the work?
33:40For the most part, yeah.
33:42And even when I don't,
33:43I can tell myself that I'm,
33:47I'm accomplishing good things by enforcing the law.
33:51You know?
33:52Yeah.
33:53Sorry.
33:55Speaking of my job, I'm so sorry,
33:57but I have to make a phone call.
33:58Oh, absolutely.
34:00You know what?
34:00You go save the world.
34:02And listen, it was so great
34:06running into you, catching up.
34:09Hey, don't be a stranger.
34:11You neither.
34:12Okay.
34:24Yeah, Brandon's got a visitor.
34:29What is Carly Spencer doing there?
34:31The only problem I have with this Agent Cates
34:34is that he still has his badge, his freedom,
34:36and most importantly,
34:37he gets to enjoy the pleasure of your company.
34:39Right on.
34:41Time's up?
34:43That's my cue.
34:44Time flies when a beautiful woman comes to visit.
34:55I'm sure you could have done a lot worse to me
34:58that day than some zip ties.
35:01For whatever reason, you didn't.
35:04Thank you.
35:06Your visit really brightened up my day.
35:10Maybe you could come back sometime.
35:13We'll see.
35:15I live in hope.
35:25Watch your back, Valentine.
