00:00What'd that bag ever do to you?
00:08Hey.
00:09Lucky.
00:10Good to see you.
00:11I'm out of shape.
00:12Good to see you too.
00:13You here to spar?
00:16I was actually looking for you.
00:18Why?
00:19What happened?
00:20Nothing.
00:21I just could really use some advice, but I don't want to interrupt your workout.
00:25Why don't you join me?
00:26I'm sure you're itching to hit something.
00:29I'll tell you the truth.
00:30That doesn't sound too bad.
00:31All right.
00:32Come to my office.
00:33Get some gloves.
00:34Meet you in the ring.
00:35Sounds like a plan.
00:36Hi.
00:37Hi.
00:38Are you looking for DJ?
00:39I actually was here on city business, but now that that's out of the way, I wanted to
00:53check in and see how Lulu's doing.
00:56Well, Laura did clear you for updates, so I'm happy to report that Lulu is stable and
01:01improving.
01:02That's great news.
01:03Ever since Lulu's surgery, Laura seems a little lighter.
01:07I'm sure she's overjoyed with how well it went.
01:11She is, but her joy is definitely tempered because of what happened with Sam.
01:19Yeah.
01:20Laura is devastated that Sam died saving her daughter's life.
01:26Dr. Gannon, thank you for waiting.
01:30No problem.
01:31I just wish I knew what I was waiting for.
01:34Of course.
01:35Let's get to it.
01:36Frankly, I thought you'd have some idea why I asked you here.
01:41Is there a problem with Lulu Spencer's recovery?
01:47This must be important for you to call me to your office at this hour.
01:51I think it is.
01:52Oh, okay.
01:53So, why am I here?
01:54Tell me.
01:55I'm dying to know.
01:56Robert's leave of absence.
01:57Mac was CC'd on the email.
01:58Did he tell you?
01:59Yeah.
02:00We figured that Robert was finally taking that well-deserved holiday.
02:03Oh, God, I wish.
02:06That's not what's going on.
02:07Who do you think is in a world of trouble again?
02:10Oh, dear.
02:11Holly?
02:12Holly.
02:13And she left town at the same time as Robert.
02:16So, what are the chances that he's going to have a relaxing holiday?
02:35Christina said she saw you walking through the diner and it looked like you had been in an accident.
02:39What happened?
02:41I'm fine.
02:43I don't know why I bother asking you anything because you always give me the same answer.
02:46It's because I'm fine.
02:47I asked you what happened.
02:49I'm not leaving until you tell me.
02:52I got into a fight with Drew.
02:55What?
02:56Why?
02:57I had my reasons.
02:59What do you mean you had your reasons?
03:00Carly.
03:01Jason.
03:03All you need to know is Drew got everything he deserved.
03:11Rick, thanks for coming by so late.
03:12So, what happened to you?
03:14Uh, minor accident.
03:18Nina mentioned that there was some kind of altercation.
03:21Is this the minor accident that she's talking about?
03:24Yeah.
03:25My brother Jason and I had a disagreement.
03:29That's the reason your face looks like this?
03:33Oh.
03:35Please tell me we're pressing charges.
03:42Please.
04:02I know how Laura feels.
04:04Sam's death was tragic.
04:07I'm just relieved that Lulu is improving.
04:10It's truly a miracle.
04:12And we're awfully lucky that Dr. Gannon agreed to do the surgery.
04:18He really came through?
04:20You seem surprised.
04:21Pleasantly surprised, but still.
04:24I got the sense Isaiah was competent.
04:27Mostly from him, but I don't know, maybe a little overconfident?
04:32Well, turns out his confidence was justified because the OR nurses can't stop singing his phrases
04:38and they are not easily impressed.
04:40Well, he's done dozens of these procedures before.
04:43It must be fairly routine for him by now.
04:46The complications with Lulu's surgery made it anything but routine.
04:50Most surgeons wouldn't even attempt the transplant.
04:55Well, I guess he is as good as he says.
04:58And not only was he successful, he made it look easy.
05:02He hasn't been in practice for a while, but it was like he hadn't missed a beat.
05:06Well, it sounds like the OR nurses aren't the only ones impressed by Dr. Gannon's surgical skills.
05:12Let's just say when all eyes were watching, Dr. Gannon proved himself to be a very talented surgeon.
05:19Well, from what I've heard from you and the mayor, it certainly seems so.
05:27You want to hire me?
05:29This is our offer.
05:31I think you'll find it's quite generous.
05:33Plus, the odds of you being kidnapped by a homicidal warlord are somewhat smaller.
05:39When I got your call, I thought there was a problem with Lulu's recovery.
05:42I'm sorry I wasn't more direct on the phone. Honestly, I thought you'd be expecting the offer.
05:46No, not at all.
05:49I don't know what to say.
05:51You don't have to say anything right now.
05:54But please, think hard about the offer before you make a decision.
05:58Read the packet and come to me if you have any questions.
06:04If there's anything we miss...
06:05No, I won't be shy.
06:06Good. Because we're willing to do whatever it takes to keep you at GH.
06:13Why the enthusiasm?
06:15Well, suffice it to say, Jason Morgan and I can't stand each other.
06:19Because he works for your brother.
06:21Yeah, all you need to know is Jason's and my mutual antipathy makes me the perfect person to represent you.
06:27Does that mean that the attorney-client privilege is in effect?
06:30Absolutely.
06:34Well, then there's something that you need to know.
06:49The reason that Jason attacked me is because I've had some involvement with Michael's wife, Willa.
06:59Define involvement.
07:02All that Jason knows is that Willa and I kissed.
07:04How would he know that?
07:05Well, I told Michael when Ned was trying to blackmail me.
07:10Okay, so Ned decides to leverage this information and then you neutralize him by coming clean to Michael?
07:17That took some brass.
07:18Well, Michael must have told Jason about the kiss and then this happened.
07:22Okay, so we got blackmail, we got assault, you must want justice.
07:27I don't want this to end.
07:28Like tonight. I don't want to get the police involved. I have no desire to press charges.
07:33Then why am I here?
07:36I need you to broker a deal with Jason.
07:39He needs to understand that I will put this entire incident behind us if he just stays quiet about what he knows.
07:50Okay, if you're not going to tell me why you got into a fight with Drew, can you tell me what happened?
07:56Drew came into the house, I hit him, he hit me back, I hit him again. End of story.
08:01The house? Where Drew lives?
08:04Yeah, I was waiting for him when he got home.
08:06You got into a fight with Drew at the quarter mains with Danny and Scout right upstairs?
08:15Got a second?
08:16Sure, what's up?
08:18I just saw Dr. Gannon leave in your office. Is there something you want to share with me?
08:23Ms. Baldwin, I'm shocked.
08:26The head nurse would ask such probing questions about a confidential HR matter.
08:31I'll shut the door.
08:35Okay, promise me you'll keep this to yourself.
08:38I promise.
08:40We just offered Dr. Gannon a position at General Hospital.
08:43That's awesome.
08:44It will be if he takes it. He didn't seem so sure when he left my office.
08:48Give him time.
08:50If he does accept, I'm sure Lucky will be thrilled his bestie's staying in Port Charles.
08:57Did I say something wrong?
09:00Dr. Gannon might end up sticking around, but Lucky's already looking for his next adventure.
09:10So what's on your mind?
09:12What's on my mind is, what am I doing here?
09:15Oh, you're getting your butt kicked.
09:16No, no, no. I mean, what am I doing here in Port Charles?
09:20I mean, you know, this is my home, but I already feel like moving on again.
09:27Anywhere in particular?
09:29Thanks.
09:31Well, I was thinking of heading back to Somalia or, I don't know, somewhere else in Africa.
09:38It's just, depending on where I can do the most good.
09:40Depending on where I can do the most good.
09:43You were working with some doctors. A surgeon that operated on Lula.
09:49Yeah, Isaiah Gannon. He's a friend.
09:51You did some good stuff. That took a lot of guts.
09:54Well, or I'm an idiot.
09:56It's also a possibility.
09:58Nah, you're not an idiot.
10:00Well, it's a good thing I did what I did for Lula anyway, right?
10:04Yeah. Now you want to go?
10:07When I'm out there in the world, I feel like I have purpose.
10:12You know, I wake up every day, I know I'm doing something that matters.
10:16Even if nothing happens that day.
10:18You could be there just in case.
10:20Yeah, I'm protecting people who are saving lives.
10:23I happen to be good at it.
10:25And it gives you the purpose you're craving.
10:29I guess I need to be somewhere where I can make a difference.
10:32Well, it looks like you already made your decision.
10:35I wish it were that easy.
10:37And it's not?
10:39Well, all those other times when I went away, I left my family behind.
10:45And you don't know if you can do that again.
10:50So I think Robert going off with Holly is my fault.
10:54How?
10:56Well, she came here and she told me everything.
10:58It's my fault.
11:00How?
11:02Well, she came here and she told me she was leaving and I encouraged her to go and say goodbye to Robert.
11:06You know, never thinking that she would try to leave with him.
11:08Yeah, the timing could be better, especially for Sasha.
11:11Yeah, you know. I mean, I'm not surprised at Holly, but Robert should have stayed for his daughter.
11:15Is Sasha the only reason you were upset he left town?
11:19Yeah, why?
11:21Well, I mean, how do you feel about him leaving town?
11:24Well, I love Robert. I want him to be happy.
11:26Even with Holly?
11:28I mean, if she makes him happy, sure.
11:32What are you hiding?
11:37Holly has got herself in trouble with some rather dangerous, powerful people.
11:41And she does need someone to protect her.
11:44And who better?
11:46Yes, but Robert is going to obviously clean up whatever mess she's in.
11:49And then they will fall into each other's arms and...
11:53Yeah.
11:54What?
11:56What? It sounds romantic.
11:58No, but that's the problem.
12:00Yeah, Robert will ride to her rescue.
12:03And then they will fall into each other's arms.
12:05And then he will think, this is it, finally.
12:08It's going to last.
12:10And then, disaster.
12:12Heartbreak? Mayhem?
12:14Yeah, well, Holly will start lying again and stealing and conning.
12:17And once again, she will find whatever reason to avoid making a real commitment to Robert.
12:24Yeah.
12:26Look, I understand that you're hesitant about pressing charges.
12:28You want to avoid a scandal.
12:30I can weather a scandal, but Willow...
12:32Willow shouldn't have to.
12:34Okay, noble.
12:36But have you considered that a jail cell is a better place for Jason?
12:39Jason needs to be at Sam's funeral tomorrow.
12:41His son needs him there.
12:43Okay, fine. Fine.
12:45We can wait until after the funeral.
12:47But Nina said that a PCPD detective lives here.
12:49Yeah, Detective Chase.
12:51Alright, so sooner or later, he is going to find out.
12:52Because he's going to want to play by the book.
12:54I'll talk to Chase. I'll tell him that it was just a personal misunderstanding.
12:57A personal disagreement that got out of hand.
12:59And police doesn't need to be involved.
13:01To protect Willow.
13:03The Willow situation is taken care of.
13:05Jason is the only loose end.
13:07What I need from you is, I need you to convince him to take my offer.
13:11Which is?
13:13I won't press charges as long as he keeps his mouth shut about me and Willow.
13:19Yeah, unfortunately.
13:22I'm not going to be able to do this.
13:24Why not?
13:26Because you're not being straight with me.
13:28Look, half-truths are a work with Michael.
13:30But from the looks of your face, not so much.
13:32But I need all of the facts.
13:35And what if I say that I've told you everything that I'm going to?
13:38Then I'm afraid I can't represent you.
13:43Okay.
13:45The whole truth.
13:49Willow and I slept together.
13:53Kids were asleep.
13:56How do you know they wouldn't come downstairs?
13:58Especially if they woke up to the sound of their fathers punching each other.
14:02That's a really big what if.
14:04If they would have come downstairs and seen their fathers fighting each other,
14:08do you know how badly that would have messed them up?
14:10There wasn't time for them to see anything.
14:12Jason.
14:14You're all Danny has left.
14:16You can't do things like this anymore.
14:19No matter how much you think Drew deserves it.
14:20I care about the kids.
14:24But this needed to happen.
14:26Really? It needed to happen?
14:28The night before Sam's funeral?
14:31Yes.
14:36Lucky was actually surprised that I was upset.
14:39He asked what good he was to Aiden.
14:42I thought things were going well between those two.
14:45They have been great.
14:47And that's why I didn't understand why he said that.
14:49Maybe he feels he's no good to anybody.
14:52But why?
14:54He came all this way to help Lulu only to find out he couldn't.
14:57That had to have done a number on his head.
14:59Yeah, but since then he's been a huge support to his mom.
15:02He convinced Isaiah to do the surgery.
15:04He's stepped up with Aiden.
15:06No issues with Aiden coming out to him?
15:09None. None.
15:11He's totally given Aiden time and space and shown him nothing but love and support.
15:16Doesn't sound like a guy ready to bail.
15:19Except that Lucky and Aiden are getting closer.
15:23And when things get real, Lucky takes off.
15:27I shouldn't have been surprised.
15:30You have every right to be angry with Lucky.
15:33But I'm not angry with him.
15:36I'm angry with myself.
15:38Why?
15:39Because I let myself believe that this time might be different.
15:45This time, Lucky might stay.
15:55Okay, so.
15:57If you go back to Africa.
16:00Yeah?
16:02Is something going to be waiting for you there?
16:04You mean like a girlfriend?
16:06No, I'm just saying if you got on a plane tonight, right,
16:07and you landed there, would there be a job waiting for you?
16:11No, I'd just kind of jump in where I'm needed.
16:14Then if no one's waiting, what's the rush?
16:19I don't know, Sonny. I'm restless.
16:21You know, I need to be useful.
16:23Well, maybe your mom needs you to be useful.
16:27Sure, but she doesn't need me.
16:30She came very close to losing her daughter.
16:34Now tell me about Lulu.
16:35She's doing better, but odds are she's not going to be waking up anytime soon.
16:40I thought you loved bad odds.
16:42Not when it comes to people I love.
16:45Well, maybe these people, you know, they want you around.
16:48They need your help.
16:50Well, I'll make sure to visit more.
16:53Now, I know you mean that, but...
16:57Oh, you don't think I will?
16:59Well, it took you this long to come back here, right?
17:02Tell me, how's your son doing?
17:05Okay, I know what you're doing.
17:07I know what you're doing.
17:09Aiden, he's used to me not being around.
17:11Well, that's not a great thing, is it?
17:15No, but look, I can't be in a place where I don't have anything to offer.
17:22I mean, what am I supposed to do in Port Charles? Dig ditches?
17:25There are other options.
17:27Like what? I mean, I'm not going to be a cop again.
17:29My dad warned me about joining the force and I should have listened to him.
17:33Maybe.
17:35I don't know what I was thinking back then.
17:37I think I was just looking for a place to fit in.
17:41And you don't?
17:45If what I'm looking for isn't here, why should I stay?
18:00Dr. Gallagher.
18:02Deputy Mayor Ashford.
18:05I take it your ears were burning?
18:07Why this time?
18:09I see your ego's still intact.
18:12Did you think it wouldn't be?
18:14Were you looking for me?
18:16I was actually here checking in on my boss's daughter.
18:19Elizabeth told me you did a great job with her surgery.
18:24No problem.
18:25Well, I will let you get back to whatever it is that you were doing.
18:29Wait, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be rude.
18:33You weren't. I see you weren't taking compliments very well, but...
18:39It's just I got hit with something unexpected.
18:43Bad news?
18:46Dr. Randolph offered me a position here.
18:49Congratulations. That's great.
18:52Are you going to take it?
18:54Probably not.
18:59What are you going to do now?
19:01About what?
19:03Well, let's start with Sam's funeral tomorrow.
19:07I'll be there.
19:09And how do you know Drew won't have the police there?
19:11Drew will not be getting the police involved.
19:13You don't know that!
19:15Yes, I do.
19:17What if you're wrong?
19:19I'm not.
19:21Were there any witnesses that saw you attack Drew?
19:24Jason, they could go straight to the police.
19:27So what, Carly?
19:29So you could be arrested. The DA could press charges.
19:31Drew will not let that happen.
19:33Drew may not get a choice in the matter.
19:35You could be arrested. You could go to jail and you could be tried.
19:38And every single thing you've ever done could be caught into question.
19:40Okay, it's a risk that I had to take.
19:44And you won't tell me why.
19:50No.
19:55Okay.
19:57Carly, where are you going?
19:59I'm going to go fix your mess.
20:09So the truth is that Jason attacked you because you slept with Michael's wife.
20:13Jason doesn't know that we slept together. Nobody does.
20:16You sure about that?
20:17Absolutely. Willow and I are the only two people that know about that.
20:23Okay.
20:27Wait a minute. What are you doing?
20:29Your face is evidence.
20:31We don't need evidence. I just need you to make this thing go away.
20:34The statute of limitations in New York for assault is five years.
20:36You may not always be a politician, but Jason will always be your brother and he is relentless.
20:40Jason got what he came for.
20:42Do you honestly think that Jason isn't biding his time so he can come back and he can actually attack you again?
20:45This is not his style.
20:47So says the man who got sucker punched.
20:49Look, are you going to do what I asked you or not?
20:51All right, fine. I'll talk to your brother, but you need to listen to me and be prepared.
20:55For?
20:57There's a very good chance that this attempt to muzzle your brother is only going to serve to piss him off more.
21:02So if you won't reconsider and put Jason in prison where he belongs, then at least you'll be ready for what comes next.
21:08You know, you could be wrong.
21:10Robert and Holly may finally get their happily ever after.
21:14What makes this time different from all the others?
21:16Well, this time they have a daughter.
21:18What? They've had a daughter for decades.
21:21But yes, Robert didn't know about it until now.
21:23Yes, and now he does.
21:25And now they're a family, which means Robert didn't just leave to save Holly.
21:29He left to save Sasha's mother, which makes all the difference in the world.
21:33Oh, you've been doing a lot of babysitting.
21:34Haven't you, Pollyanna?
21:36Pollyanna? I like that.
21:38Yes, and I do hope for the best.
21:40Don't you think you're going a bit overboard, though?
21:42No, I don't.
21:44Although I am a little bit worried about Sasha.
21:46She may feel like she's been left behind.
21:48It's not like she's been abandoned at daycare.
21:50She's a fully grown adult.
21:52Yeah, well, that doesn't mean you still can't be hurt by your parents' actions.
21:55I'm just not sure that they're gone forever, you know?
21:58You don't think so?
22:00Well, maybe with Holly, I don't know.
22:01But Robert, no.
22:03You know, he has a daughter.
22:05He's going to want to build a relationship with her.
22:07Well, you know that and I know that, but Sasha doesn't know that.
22:13If you're looking for a job, that's not a problem.
22:17Your father was my best friend.
22:19I'm always going to look out for you.
22:21Yeah, well, that's why I'm here.
22:23And I know a lot of places where they could use somebody with the skills.
22:27Well, I appreciate that more than I can say,
22:29but with all the respect in the world, it would have to be legit.
22:33Your mother would have my head and I'm already on thin ice.
22:39Yeah, she's the last person we'd want to piss off.
22:41Don't I know it?
22:43I appreciate the offer, but you'd be doing me a favor.
22:48But listen, if you don't want to be somewhere,
22:53don't stay because other people want you to.
22:56It's kind of selfish though, isn't it?
22:58Maybe, maybe.
23:00But maybe you just, it's time for you to move on.
23:06I had no plans to return to surgery.
23:09I operated on Lulu because her brother asked me.
23:12Despite doing a brilliant job?
23:15There are plenty of surgeons who could have done it just as,
23:18almost as brilliant.
23:20Well, how many?
23:21Thousands? Tens of thousands?
23:24In this country? About 500.
23:27So not many. Minus you.
23:32When I was in Africa, I was making a difference.
23:36Treating people no one would help.
23:39Fixing broken bones, treating contagious diseases,
23:44vaccinating people for everything from immunotherapy to surgery.
23:48Vaccinating people for everything from measles to meningitis.
23:53Kids who were marking their time a year ago will live to see their grandchildren.
23:59You're passionate about your work. I respect that.
24:03What?
24:05But you don't need to be a transplant specialist to administer a vaccine.
24:08But you need to be willing to go to people who need you.
24:11Yeah, and there are doctors for that.
24:13And as a transplant recipient, I would hate to see you waste your skills.
24:17Right now, I'm trying to wrap my head around the idea of staying in Port Charles
24:22or be useful elsewhere.
24:25Alright, well, you want to be wherever you can do the most good, right?
24:29Yes.
24:30Where you can save the most lives?
24:31Exactly, yeah.
24:32Well, considering you're the best surgeon in the country,
24:35according to you anyway,
24:37wouldn't that be the OR?
24:41Have a good night, Dr. Gannon.
24:46Good night.
25:01Hi.
25:02Carly.
25:04Oh my God, your face.
25:07Have you been to General Hospital to get checked out?
25:09Carly, let's just cut to the chase, okay?
25:11We both know why you're here.
25:13To protect Jason.
25:17No matter what I think I should do, it feels wrong.
25:20I'll see Aiden or my mom or Lulu and think,
25:23yeah, you know, a little more time.
25:26And then everything inside me starts screaming for me to leave.
25:30Then go.
25:32Yeah, but when I decide to do that,
25:34I start checking flights and message boards to see where I might end up.
25:37I feel guilty for even looking.
25:39So, here I am.
25:42I wish I could tell you what to do.
25:44Me too.
25:46Be your own man like your father.
25:49Whatever you decide to do, I'm going to support you.
25:55I mean, you don't think I'd be running away again?
25:58The way I see it is you're going back to a life that you built yourself.
26:03It's your home.
26:05No wonder you want to go back.
26:07So, no matter what I do, it's the right choice?
26:10I don't know if that's what I said, but I'm going to...
26:13Listen to me, okay?
26:15You need to be honest.
26:18Why you're going,
26:20you need to be honest with your son,
26:23and you need to be honest with your mother,
26:25but especially with yourself.
26:36You got some place you got to be?
26:38Yeah, actually I do.
26:40I got to meet someone, but thanks for hearing me out.
26:45And just to put it out there, I really need a sparring partner,
26:51so I hope you stick around.
27:01I just realized why I'm so upset about Lucky leaving.
27:04After all these years, he still has this effect on me.
27:08You still care about him?
27:10Yeah, he can be such a great guy,
27:13when he's not all wrapped up in his own angst and turmoil,
27:18and when he's not wanting to be any place other than where he is.
27:21But otherwise, he's great.
27:25He can be really charming, and kind, and warm.
27:31And it's been really nice watching Aiden get to know that side of him.
27:35Which will make it that much worse when he leaves again.
27:40And he always leaves.
27:43I feel like such an idiot for getting my hopes up,
27:47for letting myself imagine what it would be like for my son to have a father,
27:51and for me to have a co-parent.
27:56A co-parent and a partner?
28:00No, no, no. No, that's over. What's done is done.
28:05You just admitted you still care about him.
28:08Yeah, and it's because of those crazy, mixed-up feelings that I let myself believe
28:16that somehow he can have someone else.
28:21I let myself believe that somehow we can,
28:26that we could be a family.
28:31What do you want?
28:34Here to offer you a deal.
28:39A deal for what?
28:42I'm going to draw up an NDA.
28:44You're never to speak of why you attacked Drew Quartermain,
28:47and in exchange, you won't press charges.
28:49If Drew wanted to press charges, I'd be in jail.
28:52Statute of limitations. It's five years.
28:54I'll wait.
28:56This is a golden deal, Jason. Take it.
28:59No, thank you.
29:01You know, my client is very concerned about the well-being of your son, Danny.
29:08You don't talk about my son.
29:10Well, what?
29:12You know, out of a great deal of empathy and kindness, more than I ever would recommend,
29:16Drew is willing to let you off the hook.
29:19And you must be so disappointed.
29:22Well, if we're up to me, I'm going to hesitate to put you away.
29:29I'm here because despite your differences, you and Jason are still brothers.
29:35You really don't have to play the brother card, Carly,
29:37because I already made the decision. I made the decision not to press charges.
29:40Good. Because Jason needs to be there for Danny tomorrow.
29:44Yeah. Maybe he should have thought of that before he committed another felony.
29:47I told him the same thing.
29:50Look, I know you're upset. Understandably.
29:54I'm going to go so you can get some rest.
29:57You're not going to ask why Jason attacked me?
30:00That's between the two of you. I don't need to get involved.
30:04I mean, you're always involved, Carly, especially when it comes to Jason.
30:08So go ahead. Admit it. You came here to ask me not to press charges.
30:11Because Jason needs to be at Sam's funeral tomorrow.
30:13Okay. Well, then I'll wait until after the service and then I'll press charges. Is that all right?
30:18Thought so.
30:20I didn't say anything.
30:22Yeah. When it comes to Jason, you don't need to.
30:25You will take his side. You will stand by him no matter what.
30:28No, I still hold him accountable.
30:30Since when? You see, this is why we needed to split up.
30:33Carly, because you'll take his side. You'll take his side over me, over anyone.
30:38You never gave me a chance to prove you wrong.
30:40Because our relationship was over the second he came back to Port Charles.
30:44And now, Jason attacked me.
30:48Carly, I'm provoked with our children upstairs and you're still defending him.
30:54You always will.
31:00Sasha didn't just gain a father.
31:03She got Mac and me and Maxie and her children and Robert.
31:07She's a Scorpio.
31:09Yes, and is a former member of the Scorpio clan.
31:12There are no more former members. Only forever members.
31:15That might be a lot for Sasha.
31:18I mean, she's never had many relatives. She might not know what having a family means.
31:23It's time that changed.
31:29Have you shared these feelings with Lucky?
31:32If my feelings mattered, he wouldn't have left Port Charles in the first place.
31:37And he would have been present for our son.
31:40So, what are you going to do?
31:42What can I do? I just have to accept him for who he is.
31:47And?
31:49And, I'm going to tell him that he can't keep me and Aiden in limbo like this.
31:56We can't just sit here and do nothing.
31:58We can't keep me and Aiden in limbo like this.
32:01We can't just go about our days wondering if he's going to stay in Port Charles or up and leave again.
32:08It's not fair to Aiden or you.
32:10No, it's not.
32:12So, I will tell Lucky, if he's not going to stay and make a life here, then he needs to go.
32:25Hey.
32:26Hey.
32:28Thanks for meeting me here.
32:30Yeah, I was going to swing by and visit Lulu anyway. What's up?
32:34Well, I was going to tell you that I was ready to return to Africa and ask if you were going to come with me.
32:40Now?
32:42But Dr. Randolph offered me a position here at GH.
32:46Oh, as a surgeon?
32:49No, as an orderly, but I could work my way up.
32:52Yes, as a surgeon.
32:53Okay, so, are you going to take it?
32:57My knee jerk was to say no.
33:00But then someone reminded me I have a highly specialized skill set and I save lives other people can't and I shouldn't let that go to waste.
33:11Okay, then stay.
33:15You're not going to try and talk me out of it?
33:18Hey man, this is a great opportunity.
33:21I think so too.
33:24What about you? You going to stick around?
33:28Uh, I'm still trying to figure that out.
33:37Yeah, I need you to set something up. It's for an old friend of mine.
33:43I might not know what happened, but from what I understand, it wasn't unprovoked.
33:50Did Jason say that I provoked him?
33:53He said you deserved it.
33:55Right. And what Jason says is gospel.
33:59Jason doesn't act without reason. Certainly not like this.
34:03Which means you must have given him a really good one.
34:08You can threaten me all you want.
34:10You can threaten me all you want. I'm not putting my name on anything.
34:15Fine by me. I don't care how you get put away by Jay Walking or anything else. As long as you're behind bars. Salt will do nicely though.
34:25You know, you tell your client I'm not going to say anything about what happened tonight. Or about anything else.
34:33Am I supposed to take your word for that?
34:35Drew will. And you tell him if anybody finds out it didn't come from me.
34:42Okay. I'll deliver the message.
34:47Nice doing business with you.
34:53You want to hit me, don't you, Jason?
34:56Who doesn't?
35:00Well, take your shot.
35:05I dare you.
35:08That's what I thought.
35:16It's nice doing business with you.
35:29My condolences for Sam.
