00:00Alexis, you are going to hear what I have to say, whether you want to or not.
00:07Well, I can say it in your office, or I can say it really loudly out here, or anybody
00:12might...
00:16You've got exactly two minutes before I call the cops and have you arrested for disturbing
00:25my peace.
00:26Can I get you a coffee, or...
00:31No, no, I'm great, thanks.
00:34Can I ask why we're meeting here, not as accused?
00:36Not complaining, but there is less of a commute to the kitchen.
00:39There's a lot of people living there now.
00:40It feels like the walls, the floors, the doors, they all have ears.
00:44Yeah, there are a lot of ears in many shapes and ages wandering around.
00:50So what's going on?
00:53I need your help.
00:55I think that Willow and I are headed for a divorce.
00:59You know, if you keep showing up at my door, people are going to talk.
01:08We have a serious problem.
01:10Then by all means, come on in.
01:11I should have known better.
01:22I only went along with this meeting because I didn't want to disappoint my daughter.
01:26I should have known the first thing out of your mouth would be a lie.
01:28Valentin, that's not what happened.
01:30I didn't lie.
01:31You swore to her you'd come alone.
01:32And I did.
01:33Just go.
01:34I don't need you here.
01:35Get out of here.
01:36Papa.
01:37Come on, Charlotte.
01:38Okay, wait, wait, Valentin.
01:39It's clear how much you love Charlotte, but a life on the run, that is no life at all.
01:45You know that.
01:47I'm sorry.
01:53I'm sorry.
01:59I'm sorry.
02:05I'm sorry.
02:35Hey.
02:36I was, um, I was hoping I would find you here.
02:40Am I interrupting?
02:41Uh, no.
02:42Uh, no, my shift just finished.
02:44Good.
02:45Great.
02:46I just, I just wanted to check in.
02:49Christmas at Nina's was...
02:52Does eventful adequately describe it?
02:55Eventful is a good place to start.
02:57Well, how are you holding up?
03:00Lucas's words definitely had an impact.
03:04But I don't want to dwell on it too much.
03:06I would much rather focus on the future.
03:08Yeah, me too.
03:10I'm starting to see so many possibilities that I never could have dreamt of before.
03:18Speaking of the future, immediate future, shouldn't you be on your way to D.C.?
03:24Congressman?
03:25No, I'm on my way.
03:26As soon as I pick up Scout, I'm heading out.
03:27I just wanted to...
03:30I just wanted to see you first.
03:34Well, I'm glad you did, because it gives me the chance to tell you how proud I am of you.
03:41You know, while you can still hear me.
03:43What does that mean?
03:45Once you're sworn in, there will be hundreds of voices clamoring for your attention every single day.
03:51Much more important voices.
03:53Louder voices, yeah, maybe, but more important?
03:58Never.
04:00And I could pick out your voice inside of a crowded football stadium.
04:05You're the only voice that I'm listening for, the only one that matters.
04:12You're going to do great things as a congressman.
04:16I'm going to try.
04:18Wouldn't be happening if it wasn't for you.
04:20I can't take credit for something you accomplished, but I can be super happy for you.
04:27The fact that you're happy for me, especially considering everything that's gone on,
04:34that's the whole reason I'm here.
04:38I don't want to make this visit any longer than it has to be, so I will get right to the point.
04:43Thank the goddess for that.
04:46It has been brought to my attention that you are the trustee for the Casadine Estate.
04:51Okay, so we both know that now.
04:55Well, due to a misunderstanding or perhaps a clerical error, and clerks are human, too, after all.
05:02Getting to the point, remember?
05:06It seems that the Casadine Estate has retrieved a significant amount of money from my various accounts.
05:15Now, I have other assets, of course, but I would like that money returned.
05:20Of course you would.
05:22Well, I'm not asking for a gift here, Alexis. That money is mine.
05:26So if you would be so kind as to facilitate the return of those monies, my monies, I would very much appreciate that.
05:33You do it, and I'll be out of your hair lickety-split.
05:37To make that dream come true, there is really very little I wouldn't do.
05:42But being that this is my first time and probably the only time I will ever enjoy being the spokesperson for the Casadines,
05:49it gives me more pleasure than it should to tell you that the Casadine Estate doesn't owe you a dime.
06:01Obviously, you and Willow have been having a tough time lately, but I had no idea you were headed for a divorce.
06:07Yeah, Willow hired a lawyer and filed for legal separation.
06:11Wow, that was fast.
06:13Yeah, it surprised me, too, at first.
06:16But then I realized she's gotten close to Nina, and Nina would want nothing more than to have Willow all to herself.
06:22I mean, it was not that long ago that Willow would leave her room just because Nina was in it.
06:26And now she's Willow's marriage counselor?
06:29Yeah, worse. She is Willow's mother.
06:31And Diane thinks that Willow took the kids and filed for separation because of her.
06:36Would Willow let herself be pressured to this extent by her mother?
06:40I don't know. I don't know anymore.
06:42I would say that I knew Willow better than anyone.
06:45Now, I don't know what's going on inside her head.
06:50I mean, if you want me to reach out to Nina, I will.
06:53But we're close, but we're nowhere near as close as Willow and Nina.
06:56I'm not sure anything I say would make a difference.
06:58No, I'm not asking you to do anything like that.
07:01Okay, then what?
07:05Well, I spoke at length with Diane and her advice combined with my own personal experience from when I was a kid.
07:11It reminded me of just how ugly and dirty custody battles can be.
07:15As much as I hate it, I have to prepare for the worst.
07:20What would that look like?
07:24Well, I pray it doesn't come to this, but I might have to go public with Willow and Drew's affair.
07:31And you want to make sure no one finds out that you and I slept together.
07:39You may want to remember your badge means nothing here, Detective.
07:42Oh, I know. I'm not here as a cop. I'm here for Willow.
07:47Papa? Is everything okay?
07:49Sweetheart, do me a favor, okay? Why don't you go sit back at your table?
07:53We're almost done talking here anyway.
07:55It's okay. We'll leave just as soon as I'm finished here.
08:01If you think I won't make a scene in front of my daughter, you are sadly mistaken.
08:05No, no one's here for you. We want to see if Charlotte wants to go home, that's all.
08:10You want to take my daughter away from me? That's all you want to do?
08:12Our daughter. Valentin, she's my child too.
08:16Look, why don't we all just calm down before we attract more attention than we already have?
08:32Charlotte!
08:40I was trying to address this issue as nicely as possible. I can see now I shouldn't have bothered.
08:45I realize you have no self-awareness, but let me clue you in, Ava. You're not nice.
08:52Well, does that moral superiority get you a lot of clients, Alexis?
08:57Does the desperation rolling off your face, did that tip wreck off that you're not going to be able to afford his legal fee?
09:03I mean, even if you are a charity case, he's not really the pro bono type.
09:08I know that there is no love lost between us, but that money was part of my divorce settlement from Nicholas.
09:14And whatever else you think about me, you know that I was a good wife to him, and he didn't make it easy.
09:19The Cassidines don't make things easy, Ava.
09:23If they did, you'd be in somebody else's office with your sob story, and I wouldn't have anything to do with this.
09:29But the Cassidines are bad people. So here we are.
09:35Well, I stood by one of those bad people when any sane woman would have gone running.
09:40You left him more times than I can count.
09:42You'd swan off in a fit, he'd grovel after you, and then you'd talk about all these renewals of vows you were going to have that were never going to happen.
09:51Our relationship was volatile. That's true.
09:55But I stayed with Nicholas because I loved him. And Nicholas knew that.
09:59That's why he was so generous in the settlement.
10:03I believe that.
10:05Well, then you know that the money from that settlement, and from the sale of Windermere, is rightfully mine.
10:12So please, give it back to me.
10:16Can you tell how much aid I have in this conversation?
10:19There are clues.
10:21I never thought I'd have to stand here and play out all the ways that the woman I love would hurt me to try and get custody of our kids.
10:28I mean, you know Willow. This isn't who she is, right?
10:31Until now, I never would have thought so.
10:33And just for the record, I do not think that publicly humiliating Willow is a way to prove that I'm a better parent.
10:39I'm the better parent.
10:41Are you the better parent?
10:42Not necessarily.
10:45In spite of everything that Willow's done, she is still a good mother.
10:50I think so too. But divorce can really bring out the ugly in a person.
10:55And on top of that, Willow's got a lot of people whispering in her ear right now.
11:00Willow.
11:04When my parents went through a divorce, I saw their very worst sides up close and personal.
11:10And I do not want our kids to see the very worst of me and Willow.
11:15Well, you don't have to worry about me making anything worse, because I have not told anyone about our night, and I'm not going to.
11:22Thank you. And look, I'm sorry for putting you on the spot. I just have to cover all the bases.
11:26No, you're smart to think things through ahead of time and troubleshoot any potential problems.
11:33To that end, I have been thinking about leaving town.
11:36What?
11:37Yeah, I'm actually done thinking about it. I am going to leave town. And this conversation has given me even more reasons to do it.
11:43I didn't mean to drive you out of town.
11:45No, you're not. You're not. I've been thinking about leaving Port Charles and starting fresh for a while.
11:50Okay, I don't understand. Wait, Sasha, you just found out that you have this big, beautiful family in the Scorpios.
11:55I don't want you to leave that all behind because of me.
11:57I'm not. I don't have a choice, Michael. I'm pregnant.
12:15Hang on.
12:16Yeah.
12:17Take it easy. I'm Dr. Isaiah Gannon. Tell me what's going on.
12:21I have a tightness in my chest.
12:24Okay. Let me see.
12:30Your pulse is a little fast and irregular, so I'm just going to need you to take it easy, okay?
12:35Take some deep breaths in. And out. Good. Again. Good. Keep going.
12:43Any dizziness? Okay. How about any lightheadedness?
12:49Yeah.
12:50You may be experiencing some atrial fibrillation, so I'm going to need you to just, yeah, hang in there.
12:58I'm going to get an ambulance here, okay?
13:01Yeah, this is Dr. Isaiah Gannon. I need an ambulance here at Volanino's Gym on Dunbar Avenue.
13:08You know, I do have an office, and I actually conduct business there.
13:13This couldn't wait. Well, I couldn't wait.
13:16Am I disturbing you? Is Carly coming by?
13:20Sadly, no. Not that that's any business of yours.
13:23I was enjoying Tolstoy and a lovely glass of Shiraz.
13:26I'd offer you something, but you'd just turn me down again, wouldn't you?
13:30War and peace? A little bit on the nose, wouldn't you say?
13:34Why are you here, Anna?
13:37Jason told me that Lulu went to Prague to search for Valentina and Charlotte.
13:41Of course, you and the WSB already know that.
13:45I don't know anything of the kind, but the importance of their reunion has been made clear to me, so I hope it happens.
13:50Really? You insist that the Bureau doesn't know or care about Valentina's whereabouts?
13:56Come on, Jack. We both know that's not true.
13:59Anna, you're the one responsible for Valentina becoming a fugitive.
14:02The mess that has become is all yours.
14:07If you haven't found Valentina yet, maybe it's because instead of, say, looking for him,
14:11you're wasting your time flying in here on your broomstick and berating me about it.
14:15This is Brennan.
14:17There's been a complication. He's gone. With the girl.
14:21Okay. Okay. Well, keep me apprised of any and all developments. Thank you.
14:28Brennan!
14:35No, I'm okay. Thanks.
14:41So, where'd they go? Did you see anything?
14:43I put an air tag in her bag with any luck we can track her.
14:46According to this, the air tag's on the move. Let's go.
14:51I don't get it. This thing shows Charlotte right here. So, where is she?
14:56Yeah, something's off.
15:03Wait. Here it is. Valentina must have dumped it.
15:08I mean, Charlotte was right here. They can't have gone far.
15:10Okay. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. The Prague's a big city.
15:13You have no idea what direction they even went in.
15:15You don't have to come with me. You know what? Maybe it's better if you don't.
15:18What's that supposed to mean?
15:19Valentina was about to let me take Charlotte.
15:21Oh, he was? Is that what he said to you?
15:23Not in so many words, but I know that I was getting through to him until you showed up.
15:27Okay. Look, you know, this whole thing would have been great if you told me you were coming over here to get Charlotte.
15:32We could have made a plan.
15:33You know what? I don't have time for this. I'm going to go find my daughter.
15:35You cannot just run aimlessly through the city of Prague with no leads.
15:39You don't know what I can do is let Valentina take my child again.
15:43What I can do is let Valentina take my child again.
15:46He's gone, Lulu. Okay? And Charlotte's gone with him.
15:49So let's go back to the cafe.
15:51We were witnesses to a shooting. Let's talk to local police.
15:54No, I don't have time to beg strangers to do their jobs.
15:59You don't know this city.
16:01You don't know the language, but guess who does? Valentina.
16:07What I'm saying is we can't do this by ourselves.
16:10All right? We need help.
16:13You thought you were divorcing a rich man.
16:16Then when Nicholas was presumed dead, it went to Spencer.
16:20And now Spencer's gone.
16:22And now Ace is the heir. So it is my job to keep this estate whole until Ace is of age.
16:29At which point you can appeal to him, but you're going to have to wait until he's 21.
16:34What?
16:36You're saying there's nothing I can do to challenge this?
16:39You can do whatever you want, but the court in Greece has made its decision.
16:44Oh, you've got to be loving this.
16:48I must say it's the only perk in a job that I never wanted or asked for.
16:53Poor Alexis. Having to oversee all that money.
16:57On top of which, getting to take what's mine.
16:59I'm not taking anything from you, Ava. What I'm relaying to you is not personal.
17:04It's the law.
17:05Oh, please. We both know all of this is personal.
17:14The baby's mine, isn't it?
17:21I've been going back and forth about whether I should tell you.
17:27Um, okay. First of all, thank you. I appreciate you telling me.
17:34Second, why were you so hesitant?
17:38Simple. We never planned to conceive a child together.
17:42It happened because we had both had a spectacularly bad day
17:46and ended up spending one tequila-infused night together in bed.
17:51We got drunk together. We slept together. We made a baby together.
17:56Are you staking your claim?
17:58No, I'm saying we're both responsible. I'm not going to let you go through this alone.
18:02Michael, I want this child and I will take full responsibility for this baby.
18:08I'm not asking for anything from you. That's not why I told you.
18:11You don't have to ask. This is my child, too.
18:14I knew that if I told you, you would want to be a father to this child.
18:18But I don't want you involved.
18:28It looks like your Gautaisin did his job. Your heart rate's back to normal.
18:34How do you feel?
18:35Better.
18:37Thank you. Appreciate what you did for me. You guys are appreciated.
18:43You need to be admitted to GH for observation.
18:47With all due respect, that's not going to happen.
18:53If this is your idea of foreplay, I have to say I don't think things are going to work out between us.
19:00I don't think things are going to work out between us. It's not me, it's you. It's definitely you.
19:06It's such an interesting trait that you have.
19:09Even given the circumstances, you still managed to turn on the charm.
19:14Is there any particular reason you felt the need to tase me in my own hotel suite?
19:20Yeah, I need to talk to you. And I need you to really hear me.
19:26Anna, I'm not an unreasonable man. We were already talking.
19:32If you change your mind about the Shiraz, all you had to do was grab the bottle and help yourself like you did last time.
19:36I don't want your damn wine. I want you to pay attention.
19:41My granddaughter came to me and she said that she met a man with an Australian accent who said that he knew me.
19:48It's obviously you. And that is the first and the last time that you ever speak to Emma Scorpio Drake.
19:59You know, I am not the only one who's happy you're elected.
20:03Well, you're the one who got me through the campaign's rough patches.
20:06And?
20:07I was really looking forward to having you there at the swearing-in.
20:11We talked about this. Michael and I were supposed to go together.
20:16Obviously, that's not happening and it just, it doesn't feel right for me to go alone.
20:23Bring Wiley.
20:25Wiley?
20:26Sure. Chance for him to see civics in action, to attend a congressional oath of office.
20:32I mean, Scout's gonna be there. It'd be lousy if she was just hanging out with my aide the whole time.
20:36That way the kids can be together.
20:37I'm not sure it's a good idea. Nina just hired Martin Gray to be my lawyer and Michael and I just officially separated.
20:45Oh, I'm sorry.
20:47At the moment, the quartermains are keeping what happened between us under wraps.
20:51But if I come with you, there's a chance it could all become public, which could make things very difficult for both of us.
20:59Do you want a scandal before you've even entered office?
21:01Where's the scandal in you attending an event that you were already planning to be at?
21:05I mean, your name's on the list. They're expecting you there.
21:07The only difference is Wiley's gonna be sitting next to you instead of Michael.
21:11Look, I'm not pushing for anything other than the chance to spend a really important moment in my life with, with people that mattered.
21:21You, Scout, and Wiley.
21:27What do you say?
21:29What do you say?
21:33I am not saying this to hurt you, Michael. And it's not that I don't think you're a great dad. I think you're a wonderful dad.
21:39You adore Wiley and Amelia and they adore you right back and they're so lucky to have you as their father.
21:44Then why don't you want me in our baby's life?
21:47Because raising a child as a quartermain and a Corinthos would have way too many complications.
21:55I love your family and I respect them.
21:58But?
22:00But I don't think it's healthy to raise a child surrounded by a family that's drowning in money and makes backstabbing each other an art.
22:08Well, that's not exactly true. Then again, it's not exactly untrue either.
22:15As much as I like your father, you have paid a high price for being his son.
22:22I really don't want this baby exposed to that kind of danger.
22:28So basically you don't want our child raised the same way that I was?
22:32No, this isn't coming out right. You're a good man.
22:35But you just pointed out a few minutes ago how complicated your childhood was.
22:40This baby won't have to go through that.
22:44Provided I stay out of their life.
22:46No one likes going to the hospital. We're not talking about a headache here.
22:51An atrial fibrillation is not something to be taken lightly. You can't just walk this off.
22:56I'm not taking it lightly.
23:00You're welcome.
23:05How long have you been having these symptoms? Did you have them prior to your workout?
23:09Because exercise is something that can bring on an incident like you had today.
23:15Before we get into this, can I ask you a question?
23:19Does this fall under the doctor-patient confidentiality?
23:25While this may not be a standard office visit, I cannot disclose any of your medical issues to anyone.
23:35Then you need to give me your word that nobody ever hears about what happened.
23:46A restaurant, if you're in it, or am I talking to anyone who will listen about what a horrible person you are, that's personal.
23:54My refusal to dispense money that is not mine, that's personal.
24:00My refusal to dispense money that is not mine, that's the law.
24:06Alexis, whatever your flaws, you are not stupid. You could figure out a way to help me if you really wanted to.
24:16You know, in Ava's world, where you reside, you believe that if you want something, that your will will make it happen.
24:26But in the real world, where everyone else lives, that's not the case.
24:31Recent events have made that reality very clear.
24:34The only reason I'm doing this is because there is an innocent child on deck to inherit all of this.
24:40Selfless? Yeah, selfless, that's the first word that comes to mind when your name comes up.
24:45And since, as you say, none of this is personal, why don't we get really honest with each other?
24:50I've been honest with you since you barged into this room.
24:52No, you haven't. Not really, not entirely.
24:56I know that you blame me for Christina's fall and the death of the baby she was carrying.
25:02That was truly tragic, but not my fault.
25:07I can and I do blame you.
25:10But whether I love or hate you has nothing to do with anything, because the terms of this Casadena estate have nothing to do with personal feelings.
25:19Not yours, not mine, not anybody else's.
25:22And I would explain that further to you.
25:24This is exhausting me and I've already wasted too much time talking to you.
25:32So that's it then?
25:35According to terms determined by people who are not me, you will never see a dime of that money again.
25:42And growing up a Quatermain in a Corinthos wasn't easy.
25:45Lucky us, we can eliminate two sources of difficulty before the child is even here.
25:52By pretending I don't exist.
25:55Michael, are you afraid that I won't be able to raise this baby by myself?
26:00No, no, not at all. I know you'll be a great mother, but I can't pretend that I'm not the father.
26:06I want to be a part of this baby's life.
26:08Michael, I appreciate that so much.
26:11Most women in my situation would probably pray for the kind of support you're offering me right now.
26:16I just wish you were happy to have it.
26:18I'm thinking long term, and not just for this baby. What about Wiley and Amelia?
26:23What about them?
26:25I don't think having slept with another woman and fathered a child with her would help your custody case.
26:31So I have to choose between being a father to our child?
26:35So I have to choose between being a father to our child? Or a father to Wiley and Amelia?
26:41Michael, after I lost Liam, I did not think that I would ever have the chance to become a mother again.
26:48But because of our one night together, I have the gift of a second chance.
26:53All I want from you is trust.
26:57Trust that I will be a good mom, and that I will always do what's right for our child.
27:05I'm in a business that brings a lot of rivals.
27:09I cannot appear weak, so that's why I need to know that you're going to be discreet about what happened here.
27:17I cannot and will not disclose anything to anyone unless you give me authorization to do so.
27:27But you can't just sit around and hope for the best. We're talking about your heart.
27:31Okay, but you know, is this like a one time thing or is it going to happen again? You said maybe the exercise causes it.
27:39When did you first start getting symptoms? And tell me the truth, or I won't be able to answer you with any accuracy.
27:47I was having symptoms before I started working out.
27:51Has your heart ever been damaged?
27:55I was shot in the chest a long time ago.
27:59You were shot?
28:02Yeah, one time my heart stopped.
28:05Okay, how long ago?
28:0820 years ago.
28:10Okay, in that case, you're definitely going to need to see a cardiologist.
28:16An AFib incident like the one you had today can happen one time, but there's a very good chance it'll happen more than once.
28:24Because you've sustained damage to your heart in the past.
28:28Is this an ongoing thing?
28:30Most certainly.
28:32But if you act on this right now, you could live a good many years.
28:39But if you don't and you just ignore it, you will have a heart attack or stroke very soon.
28:47Is that something you want to risk?
28:50We were here with two other people talking with Valentin Kastanian and his daughter Charlotte.
28:56You said we?
28:59Yeah, me and Charlotte's mother over there, Lulu Spencer.
29:04Look, Valentin Kastanian is wanted by Interpol for multiple felonies in the U.S.
29:11So you're here on official police capacity trying to effect an arrest?
29:14No. No, actually, we were here to try to convince him to let us take Charlotte.
29:19The child is his, though?
29:22The child is also Ms. Spencer's.
29:25So you're here with the girl's mother because of a custody issue?
29:30Yeah, look, it's a long story and before we got into much of the discussion,
29:36the shots were fired, by the time it all ended, Valentin and Charlotte were gone.
29:40Hmm.
29:41Do you think the shot was fired as a distraction so Valentin could escape with Gerdot?
29:48No, look, look, this guy has a lot of enemies, that's why he's on the most wanted list.
29:53Are you guys going to get the CCTV footage so we can figure out where the shots came from?
29:57We are collecting it now.
29:59Okay.
30:01But it may take some time to go through it all.
30:04Sure.
30:05If you think of anything else, Detective, please call me immediately.
30:09Will do. Thank you.
30:14Well, the good news is no one got hurt.
30:17But they have no idea where the shooter is.
30:22This is everything I was trying to avoid.
30:25Valentin getting shot at by God knows who and Charlotte right in the line of fire.
30:29Valentin getting shot at by God knows who and Charlotte right in the line of fire.
30:34I was at Bobby's when I overheard Jocelyn Jacks with, unbeknownst to me, your granddaughter.
30:40It's pure coincidence.
30:42Yeah, I'm fond of the burgers and as you very well know, I'm also fond of the owner.
30:47I was on my way out and I stopped to thank Jocelyn for the excellent burger and the excellent service when she made the introductions.
30:54Whatever I am, Anna, I'm not rude.
30:55Whatever I am, Anna, I'm not rude.
30:58You know, your granddaughter looks very much like you.
31:03Back in the day.
31:05It's quite striking.
31:08I wonder if she has the same temperament, the same uncompromising will.
31:13That's none of your damn business and you leave her alone.
31:16What sinister designs could I possibly have on a young woman that I met for approximately 30 seconds?
31:22I know how you work, Jack.
31:23You are a master at using people for your own gains or for the Bureau's.
31:27A professional necessity, as you well know.
31:30Before you practice your profession on someone else, my granddaughter will not be one more means to an end for you or the Bureau.
31:36She will not have anything to do with you or the WSB.
31:40Okay, well maybe you should be having this conversation with her.
31:42Mine is the taser, mine are the handcuffs, of course.
31:45I'm having the conversation with you.
31:47You will not destroy her life the way you have so many others, do you understand?
31:52Emma is off limits.
31:57The bottom line is there's nothing I can do for you.
32:01So if you'll excuse me, I have clients that can actually afford to pay me.
32:14I had to try.
32:16And try you did.
32:18This isn't over.
32:19I'm not going to give up everything that was promised to me.
32:28Couldn't have happened to a more deserving person.
32:42I hate it.
32:45But I can see why you want to raise this baby alone.
32:47And I know you'll be a great mom.
32:49Thank you, Michael.
32:52I'll agree to your plan.
32:54For the baby.
32:57But I need you to do something for me in return.
33:02So, what do you say?
33:05Come to D.C.?
33:09You're right.
33:11I was always planning to go, so I'll go.
33:15And you'll bring Wiley?
33:17Absolutely.
33:19This is an important day.
33:21Congress taking office.
33:23Congressman Andrew Corder made taking his oath.
33:25Wiley should definitely be there.
33:29I know it'll mean a lot to Scout to have you and Wiley there.
33:32And it means a lot to me too.
33:39I've had plenty of patients who want to deal with medical issues.
33:42On their own.
33:44I bet.
33:47And I'm going to tell you what I tell them.
33:50Whatever that important job is, it can't be more important than your life.
33:56Ignoring what happened today would be foolish.
34:00And I don't think for one second that you are a foolish man.
34:04I've been called a lot worse.
34:06Yeah.
34:08Haven't we all?
34:09But I get the feeling that you got a lot of people that care about you.
34:15I'm a lucky man.
34:17Yes, you are.
34:20And from everything I've seen today, it all points to one conclusion.
34:27You got a ticking time bomb in your chest.
34:32I respect your concern for your granddaughter.
34:34But I just can't help feeling that the exact same message could have been delivered without the theatricality and deception.
34:42Well, now you know how far I will go to protect the people I love.
34:46Yeah.
34:54Anne.
34:56I'll let you have this one.
34:58You ever come at me again, it'll end very differently.
35:01You ever come at me again, it'll end very differently.
35:08Duly noted.
35:19Look.
35:21The Prague police said to put an APB out on Valentin.
35:26We're gonna get Charlotte back.
35:28How?
35:31Valentin won't leave a trail and he won't let her contact me again.
35:36That was my one chance to bring Charlotte home and you blew it for me.
