1
00:00:06,907 --> 00:00:08,242
Hey.
2
00:00:08,342 --> 00:00:09,943
Hi. I've been looking for
you two.
3
00:00:10,043 --> 00:00:11,245
-MICHAEL: Hey.
-Hi, yeah.
4
00:00:11,345 --> 00:00:12,412
I got your text. We just
5
00:00:12,513 --> 00:00:14,848
needed to get together and, uh,
6
00:00:14,948 --> 00:00:16,583
think things through.
7
00:00:16,683 --> 00:00:18,552
Okay. Well, what's there to
think about?
8
00:00:18,652 --> 00:00:19,786
As far as I'm concerned,
9
00:00:19,887 --> 00:00:21,054
it's business as usual,
10
00:00:21,154 --> 00:00:22,322
full steam ahead.
11
00:00:22,422 --> 00:00:24,157
I have a list of some candidates
12
00:00:24,258 --> 00:00:27,027
to replace all of those slugs
13
00:00:27,127 --> 00:00:29,730
that Victor bullied into
quitting.
14
00:00:29,830 --> 00:00:31,131
I have some good ones here.
15
00:00:31,231 --> 00:00:34,535
I think that Victor actually
did us a favor.
16
00:00:35,736 --> 00:00:37,437
It's too late, Phyllis.
17
00:00:37,538 --> 00:00:38,605
What? Too late for what?
18
00:00:38,705 --> 00:00:39,973
What are you talking about?
19
00:00:40,073 --> 00:00:41,875
You have to understand that
there's a very good chance
20
00:00:41,975 --> 00:00:44,811
that you could lose the company,
or worse.
21
00:00:46,113 --> 00:00:49,016
[laughs] Why? Because of
Victor's threats?
22
00:00:49,116 --> 00:00:51,552
And his ability to carry them
out.
23
00:00:51,652 --> 00:00:53,153
Oh, he doesn't scare me.
24
00:00:53,253 --> 00:00:55,222
I don't care, really, Michael.
25
00:00:55,322 --> 00:00:57,791
Seriously. And with you...
26
00:00:57,891 --> 00:00:59,993
running my defense,
27
00:01:00,093 --> 00:01:01,361
going head to head with Victor
28
00:01:01,461 --> 00:01:03,530
and his little lackey Christine,
29
00:01:03,630 --> 00:01:05,499
they don't stand a chance.
30
00:01:08,735 --> 00:01:10,737
Here are some of the emails
that were discovered
31
00:01:10,837 --> 00:01:12,873
when we took back control of
Chancellor.
32
00:01:14,942 --> 00:01:18,412
Well, there are many more
where that came from, but...
33
00:01:18,512 --> 00:01:20,781
it will give you an idea
of what Phyllis was up to.
34
00:01:21,949 --> 00:01:23,517
She stole from us.
35
00:01:23,617 --> 00:01:25,319
She cheated us, and she deserves
36
00:01:25,419 --> 00:01:26,787
to go down in flames.
37
00:01:26,887 --> 00:01:28,956
And I know that
you're as anxious as I am
38
00:01:29,056 --> 00:01:33,060
to make her pay for all of
the damage that she's caused.
39
00:01:35,395 --> 00:01:40,400
♪♪
40
00:02:11,398 --> 00:02:13,000
So...
41
00:02:13,100 --> 00:02:15,035
Sienna didn't say anything more
42
00:02:15,135 --> 00:02:16,436
last night?
43
00:02:16,536 --> 00:02:18,639
Just that she killed Matt.
44
00:02:18,739 --> 00:02:21,241
She kept repeating it
over and over again.
45
00:02:21,341 --> 00:02:22,876
And every time I would ask
for more details,
46
00:02:22,976 --> 00:02:25,445
she...shut down.
47
00:02:25,545 --> 00:02:27,481
She did seem nervous about
48
00:02:27,581 --> 00:02:29,816
talking to the police, though.
49
00:02:29,916 --> 00:02:31,585
She said that to you?
50
00:02:31,685 --> 00:02:33,987
I told her it had to have been
in self-defense,
51
00:02:34,087 --> 00:02:36,456
but she got really agitated,
so I just...
52
00:02:36,556 --> 00:02:37,891
stayed quiet.
53
00:02:37,991 --> 00:02:41,294
Well, maybe it wasn't
self-defense.
54
00:02:41,395 --> 00:02:43,397
No. Sienna?
55
00:02:43,497 --> 00:02:45,232
No, not a chance.
56
00:02:45,332 --> 00:02:47,434
You don't know that, Noah.
57
00:02:47,534 --> 00:02:49,536
And God knows,
I would understand
58
00:02:49,636 --> 00:02:51,738
if she did do it deliberately.
59
00:02:51,838 --> 00:02:54,408
But she's got to let it out.
60
00:02:54,508 --> 00:02:56,243
She can't bury something
like that.
61
00:02:56,343 --> 00:02:59,212
It'll eat her alive.
I know that from experience.
62
00:02:59,312 --> 00:03:01,982
Maybe you should be the one
to talk to her.
63
00:03:02,082 --> 00:03:04,951
I mean, you're the professional.
You've been through it.
64
00:03:05,052 --> 00:03:08,221
I'm just afraid I'm gonna
do or say the wrong thing.
65
00:03:08,321 --> 00:03:10,323
Even after he's gone,
66
00:03:10,424 --> 00:03:12,726
he still claims victims.
67
00:03:13,994 --> 00:03:16,163
I know exactly
how she's feeling.
68
00:03:16,263 --> 00:03:19,066
To think that Matt
is finally out of your life
69
00:03:19,166 --> 00:03:21,034
and he can never hurt you again,
70
00:03:21,134 --> 00:03:24,604
only to have him turn up
and inflict even more pain.
71
00:03:25,439 --> 00:03:28,241
I will go easy on her.
72
00:03:28,341 --> 00:03:30,844
But I need to know
that Matt Clark
73
00:03:30,944 --> 00:03:32,746
will not be turning up again.
74
00:03:32,846 --> 00:03:34,948
That's the only way
that any of us
75
00:03:35,048 --> 00:03:37,350
will find any real peace.
76
00:03:39,453 --> 00:03:42,155
Well, it was a close call...
77
00:03:42,255 --> 00:03:44,591
but the trip to Vegas
was worth it.
78
00:03:44,691 --> 00:03:46,393
We found Matt Clark.
79
00:03:46,493 --> 00:03:50,497
Well, it sounds a little to me
like Matt Clark found you.
80
00:03:51,498 --> 00:03:53,934
Yeah, there were some, uh,
mistakes made.
81
00:03:54,034 --> 00:03:55,635
Mostly by me.
82
00:03:55,736 --> 00:03:58,638
Adam is the one who stepped up.
He really came through.
83
00:03:58,739 --> 00:04:00,841
That is not accurate.
84
00:04:00,941 --> 00:04:03,310
We both made mistakes
along the way.
85
00:04:03,410 --> 00:04:05,112
But we're here now,
86
00:04:05,212 --> 00:04:06,713
and we're sorry for giving you
so much worry
87
00:04:06,813 --> 00:04:09,082
on top of everything else
that you're dealing with.
88
00:04:09,182 --> 00:04:10,917
How's your health, my boy?
89
00:04:13,553 --> 00:04:15,889
Well, that's one of the ways
I really messed up.
90
00:04:15,989 --> 00:04:17,557
What do you mean, you messed up?
91
00:04:17,657 --> 00:04:19,459
You mean by allowing Matt Clark
92
00:04:19,559 --> 00:04:22,963
to slip some tainted drugs
into your drink or whatever?
93
00:04:26,266 --> 00:04:28,268
Nick didn't know
what was in them,
94
00:04:28,368 --> 00:04:30,470
but he's okay now.
95
00:04:33,340 --> 00:04:34,875
Boys, what are you
not telling me?
96
00:04:34,975 --> 00:04:37,244
How can you be okay
when you just got home?
97
00:04:37,344 --> 00:04:38,979
ADAM:
They gave him some medication
98
00:04:39,079 --> 00:04:41,848
that reversed the effects
of the bad fentanyl.
99
00:04:41,948 --> 00:04:44,017
So it's out of his system now.
100
00:04:44,117 --> 00:04:46,520
VICTOR: Guys, come on.
What I don't understand
101
00:04:46,620 --> 00:04:49,689
is how did you allow Matt Clark
102
00:04:49,790 --> 00:04:52,359
to make you take drugs?
103
00:05:02,469 --> 00:05:04,204
Oh, uh, what's this?
104
00:05:04,304 --> 00:05:07,507
That is a list of names
and the resumes of people
105
00:05:07,607 --> 00:05:10,744
that I chose to replace
the slugs who quit, so...
106
00:05:12,846 --> 00:05:16,850
I know you want things
to be business as usual,
107
00:05:16,950 --> 00:05:18,485
but it's not.
108
00:05:18,585 --> 00:05:21,087
And we can't afford to be
in denial.
109
00:05:21,188 --> 00:05:24,391
Now, tell us--
tell us what Victor said.
110
00:05:24,491 --> 00:05:25,792
Uh--uh--
111
00:05:25,892 --> 00:05:27,961
Wait. You spoke to Victor?
112
00:05:28,061 --> 00:05:30,764
Oh, I tried to broker a deal.
113
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,569
Why did you not
inform me of that?
114
00:05:35,669 --> 00:05:38,772
Because all Victor wanted to do
was deliver a message to me
115
00:05:38,872 --> 00:05:40,106
to give to you.
116
00:05:40,207 --> 00:05:41,775
I don't care about his messages.
117
00:05:41,875 --> 00:05:44,511
I don't wanna hear
anything he has to say.
118
00:05:44,611 --> 00:05:47,447
Well, you need to care, Phyllis.
119
00:05:47,547 --> 00:05:48,648
Why?
120
00:05:50,050 --> 00:05:52,819
Why, Michael, because the great
Victor Newman has spoken?
121
00:05:52,919 --> 00:05:54,688
He's a treacherous
son of a bitch.
122
00:05:54,788 --> 00:05:56,990
-Two can play at that game.
-Just stop it, Phyllis.
123
00:05:57,090 --> 00:05:59,159
[softly] Stop it!
124
00:05:59,259 --> 00:06:01,194
You can't beat him.
125
00:06:02,162 --> 00:06:04,397
And you can rant and rave
and complain all day
126
00:06:04,497 --> 00:06:08,435
about how unfair it is,
but the bottom line...
127
00:06:08,535 --> 00:06:11,271
Victor has all the weapons now.
128
00:06:11,371 --> 00:06:15,275
And he has every intention
of using what he has
129
00:06:15,375 --> 00:06:17,410
to destroy you.
He will get his company back,
130
00:06:17,510 --> 00:06:20,080
and you will go to prison
if you keep fighting him.
131
00:06:20,180 --> 00:06:23,383
I'm giving you the reality
of your situation.
132
00:06:23,483 --> 00:06:25,218
[laughs]
133
00:06:25,318 --> 00:06:27,854
Hell, my situation too,
if I think about it.
134
00:06:27,954 --> 00:06:30,090
-What does that mean?
-Victor just made it
135
00:06:30,190 --> 00:06:33,994
very clear that he would
view my representing you
136
00:06:34,094 --> 00:06:35,996
as the ultimate betrayal.
137
00:06:36,096 --> 00:06:38,164
You never told me that.
138
00:06:38,265 --> 00:06:40,934
Well, he said it, and it's real.
He means it.
139
00:06:41,034 --> 00:06:42,936
And how did you respond?
140
00:06:43,036 --> 00:06:45,572
That's what this is about,
right?
141
00:06:46,406 --> 00:06:49,309
You're afraid that Victor
will be mad at you.
142
00:06:49,409 --> 00:06:51,578
That's why you want me
to give up.
143
00:06:53,280 --> 00:06:55,749
So you wanna throw me
under the bus
144
00:06:55,849 --> 00:06:58,084
to save face with Victor, right?
145
00:07:00,820 --> 00:07:03,156
I'd like to hear the answer
to that too.
146
00:07:07,694 --> 00:07:10,830
We should establish something
right up front.
147
00:07:10,931 --> 00:07:13,967
Whatever my past experiences
have been with Phyllis,
148
00:07:14,067 --> 00:07:15,735
this is purely professional.
149
00:07:15,835 --> 00:07:18,338
I'm not gonna tip the scales
one way or the other.
150
00:07:18,438 --> 00:07:20,573
-Understood.
-I will go where the facts
151
00:07:20,674 --> 00:07:24,010
and evidence lead me,
if, in fact, there is evidence.
152
00:07:24,110 --> 00:07:25,879
Well, if you'll read on,
153
00:07:25,979 --> 00:07:28,515
you'll find that
there's plenty of that.
154
00:07:28,615 --> 00:07:30,250
And you and Victor
discovered this
155
00:07:30,350 --> 00:07:33,320
by doing a forensic sweep of
Chancellor's operating systems?
156
00:07:33,420 --> 00:07:35,655
We were looking for anything
that would shine a light
157
00:07:35,755 --> 00:07:38,825
on how Phyllis and Cane took
control of Newman Enterprises.
158
00:07:38,925 --> 00:07:41,361
And never, in our wildest
imagination,
159
00:07:41,461 --> 00:07:44,297
did we think that we would
come across correspondence
160
00:07:44,397 --> 00:07:46,433
that detailed how they did it.
161
00:07:46,533 --> 00:07:48,368
-It's all in here?
-Yes.
162
00:07:48,468 --> 00:07:51,071
Names, dates, places.
163
00:07:51,171 --> 00:07:54,741
You'll see there's a clear line
of criminal intent.
164
00:07:54,841 --> 00:07:57,277
I mean, but Phyllis was
the driver behind all of it.
165
00:07:57,377 --> 00:07:59,579
She's the one who hacked
into our systems
166
00:07:59,679 --> 00:08:01,247
and planted the AI virus
167
00:08:01,348 --> 00:08:04,017
that transferred everything
that we owned into her name.
168
00:08:04,117 --> 00:08:06,353
You mentioned Cane,
so we're going to need to
169
00:08:06,453 --> 00:08:09,522
look into his involvement
as well.
170
00:08:09,622 --> 00:08:13,193
Is it just the two of them
in this iceberg, or...
171
00:08:13,293 --> 00:08:15,495
or are there other people
involved?
172
00:08:17,063 --> 00:08:19,699
Guys, what are you not
telling me?
173
00:08:21,501 --> 00:08:22,969
Nicholas?
174
00:08:23,970 --> 00:08:26,139
What are you not telling me?
What's going on?
175
00:08:27,974 --> 00:08:30,477
I took fentanyl.
176
00:08:30,577 --> 00:08:32,512
Willingly.
177
00:08:33,980 --> 00:08:35,648
You what?
178
00:08:36,850 --> 00:08:38,818
Yeah, I did, uh...
179
00:08:40,220 --> 00:08:42,956
[sniffling] Some of it
was because of Matt.
180
00:08:44,891 --> 00:08:47,127
But most of it was on me.
181
00:08:53,967 --> 00:08:55,368
Oh, boy.
182
00:08:57,704 --> 00:09:00,173
What do you mean, it was on you?
183
00:09:04,044 --> 00:09:07,447
I was in a lot of pain, Dad,
after my accident...
184
00:09:10,250 --> 00:09:13,686
I was burning through
my prescription meds...
185
00:09:13,787 --> 00:09:16,589
really quickly
after I left the hospital.
186
00:09:16,689 --> 00:09:18,958
And I could, uh...
187
00:09:19,059 --> 00:09:21,061
see that it was becoming
a problem,
188
00:09:21,161 --> 00:09:23,396
but honestly, I thought
that I could manage it.
189
00:09:23,496 --> 00:09:24,864
I was...
190
00:09:26,833 --> 00:09:28,601
I was wrong. I couldn't.
191
00:09:30,637 --> 00:09:34,007
Did a doctor prescribe this damn
fentanyl to you or what?
192
00:09:35,475 --> 00:09:36,543
No.
193
00:09:38,078 --> 00:09:41,214
I was out in LA, and, uh,
Matt had...
194
00:09:41,314 --> 00:09:43,149
taken Noah and Sienna...
195
00:09:43,249 --> 00:09:45,185
and he gave me this bag of pills
196
00:09:45,285 --> 00:09:47,687
and said I could use it
to trade for information
197
00:09:47,787 --> 00:09:49,589
when I went out to
that drug warehouse.
198
00:09:49,689 --> 00:09:51,624
He was trying to
convince me and Sharon
199
00:09:51,724 --> 00:09:54,060
that Noah was a drug addict.
200
00:09:55,528 --> 00:09:57,630
Is that how it started?
201
00:09:57,730 --> 00:10:01,835
I just put the pills in my
pocket of my jacket and...
202
00:10:03,736 --> 00:10:07,440
I came back to Genoa City,
and I was in a lot of pain, Dad.
203
00:10:07,540 --> 00:10:10,110
And I was wearing that jacket
and I just...
204
00:10:13,279 --> 00:10:15,782
I put my hands in the pocket
and...
205
00:10:15,882 --> 00:10:17,917
the pills were there.
206
00:10:21,554 --> 00:10:23,490
I see.
207
00:10:23,590 --> 00:10:25,558
NICK: I was desperate.
[sniffling]
208
00:10:25,658 --> 00:10:28,761
I couldn't get any more
prescription meds, so...
209
00:10:31,764 --> 00:10:34,400
I took the fentanyl.
210
00:10:40,807 --> 00:10:43,076
You could have died, my boy.
211
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:48,515
I know.
212
00:10:50,183 --> 00:10:52,452
And I'm deeply ashamed...
213
00:10:54,020 --> 00:10:56,356
...that I was so weak.
214
00:10:56,456 --> 00:10:58,958
But all I can do is stand here
215
00:10:59,058 --> 00:11:00,493
and tell you the truth
216
00:11:00,593 --> 00:11:02,695
that I'm gonna make this right,
217
00:11:02,795 --> 00:11:04,864
and I'll get better.
218
00:11:04,964 --> 00:11:07,333
Nick is already on his way
to doing that.
219
00:11:07,433 --> 00:11:11,271
Sharon has set up an appointment
with an outpatient facility.
220
00:11:11,371 --> 00:11:13,606
He's gonna do the meetings,
221
00:11:13,706 --> 00:11:17,710
and he's gonna push
through this, better than ever.
222
00:11:17,810 --> 00:11:20,547
NICK: You should also know
that the only reason
223
00:11:20,647 --> 00:11:22,515
I'm standing here
is because of Adam.
224
00:11:22,615 --> 00:11:24,050
Oh, come on.
225
00:11:24,150 --> 00:11:25,785
It's true.
226
00:11:25,885 --> 00:11:28,288
You're gonna ruin
my reputation, man.
227
00:11:28,388 --> 00:11:31,090
Every time I fell,
you were there to pick me up.
228
00:11:31,191 --> 00:11:33,359
You risked your life to save me,
229
00:11:33,459 --> 00:11:36,029
and that's not something
I will ever forget.
230
00:11:37,397 --> 00:11:39,432
Dad. [crying]
231
00:11:42,235 --> 00:11:44,804
I'm so sorry, okay?
232
00:11:44,904 --> 00:11:48,341
I know that this is the last
thing you or this family needs.
233
00:11:48,441 --> 00:11:50,877
Come here, my boy.
234
00:11:50,977 --> 00:11:52,745
Come here.
235
00:12:02,755 --> 00:12:04,557
I know you said
you didn't want anything,
236
00:12:04,657 --> 00:12:07,260
but this might make you
feel better.
237
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:09,162
Thanks.
238
00:12:09,996 --> 00:12:12,599
Listen, I'm--I'm-I'm...
239
00:12:13,633 --> 00:12:15,635
I'm gonna go to prison.
240
00:12:15,735 --> 00:12:17,170
No.
241
00:12:18,171 --> 00:12:20,173
I killed him, Noah.
242
00:12:20,273 --> 00:12:22,308
No. In self-defense.
243
00:12:23,443 --> 00:12:25,111
I don't remember.
244
00:12:25,211 --> 00:12:27,247
And you are not gonna be
punished for this.
245
00:12:27,347 --> 00:12:28,581
I promise.
246
00:12:33,419 --> 00:12:35,755
I'm just glad
that you guys are all...
247
00:12:35,855 --> 00:12:37,290
safe.
248
00:12:43,296 --> 00:12:45,198
What do you remember
249
00:12:45,298 --> 00:12:47,166
about what happened?
250
00:12:48,668 --> 00:12:50,637
I mean, you don't have to
put it all together now.
251
00:12:50,737 --> 00:12:53,439
Just whatever
pops into your head.
252
00:12:57,510 --> 00:12:59,279
His eyes.
253
00:12:59,379 --> 00:13:01,547
His eyes. What about them?
254
00:13:01,648 --> 00:13:04,117
They were just...
255
00:13:05,585 --> 00:13:07,954
It's like they were on fire,
256
00:13:08,054 --> 00:13:09,789
you know? He--he...
257
00:13:11,090 --> 00:13:14,727
It was like he was excited,
like he was happy.
258
00:13:14,827 --> 00:13:17,497
It's like he had waited
his entire life
259
00:13:17,597 --> 00:13:19,866
for this exact moment, and he...
260
00:13:19,966 --> 00:13:22,835
he had you both and he had Adam
and he had Nick,
261
00:13:22,935 --> 00:13:24,937
and you guys were trapped
in that building
262
00:13:25,038 --> 00:13:27,540
and he was gonna blow you up.
263
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:30,410
Did you...try to talk him
out of it?
264
00:13:30,510 --> 00:13:34,080
I told him. I told him
he didn't have to do this.
265
00:13:36,182 --> 00:13:38,117
[sniffling] I told him...
266
00:13:39,619 --> 00:13:42,055
That he could...
he could disappear.
267
00:13:42,155 --> 00:13:45,591
He could start over again,
like...like he had before.
268
00:13:45,692 --> 00:13:48,261
And I even tried to convince
him that I'd go with him.
269
00:13:48,361 --> 00:13:50,129
-You didn't.
-I did. I did.
270
00:13:50,229 --> 00:13:52,031
I was desperate,
and it didn't matter, though,
271
00:13:52,131 --> 00:13:53,366
'cause it didn't work, he just--
272
00:13:53,466 --> 00:13:55,702
he got angrier and he got
angrier and crazier,
273
00:13:55,802 --> 00:13:57,470
and then he just...
274
00:13:57,570 --> 00:14:00,173
I didn't know what to do,
so I just--
275
00:14:00,273 --> 00:14:01,574
I--[strained laugh]
276
00:14:02,809 --> 00:14:04,977
[crying] And I...
277
00:14:06,612 --> 00:14:08,648
By the way, has there been
any confirmation
278
00:14:08,748 --> 00:14:10,383
that Matt Clark is dead?
279
00:14:10,483 --> 00:14:13,252
Uh, no. Sienna couldn't
even tell us anything more.
280
00:14:13,353 --> 00:14:15,955
She collapsed before she could
answer any questions.
281
00:14:16,055 --> 00:14:17,790
Well, where is Sienna now?
282
00:14:17,890 --> 00:14:20,526
We took her to
a Las Vegas hospital.
283
00:14:20,626 --> 00:14:22,995
Noah stayed with her.
Last time I talked to him,
284
00:14:23,096 --> 00:14:24,097
he said they were
heading home soon.
285
00:14:24,197 --> 00:14:26,265
He's probably home by now.
286
00:14:26,366 --> 00:14:27,467
Huh.
287
00:14:27,567 --> 00:14:29,836
And we haven't involved
the police...yet,
288
00:14:29,936 --> 00:14:31,738
for obvious reasons,
but I have been in touch
289
00:14:31,838 --> 00:14:34,307
with your team in Vegas,
bringing them up to speed.
290
00:14:34,407 --> 00:14:36,275
That way, in case the cops
do get involved,
291
00:14:36,376 --> 00:14:39,645
they won't ask any questions
that lead back to the family.
292
00:14:39,746 --> 00:14:41,581
Good work.
293
00:14:41,681 --> 00:14:43,850
Yeah, I'm gonna head down
and talk to Sharon,
294
00:14:43,950 --> 00:14:46,652
see if, uh, Sienna remembers
anything else.
295
00:14:46,753 --> 00:14:48,121
You'll be okay?
296
00:14:48,221 --> 00:14:50,757
Yeah. Definitely.
297
00:14:50,857 --> 00:14:54,060
I'm gonna beat this, Dad. Uh...
298
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:56,362
It's my number one priority.
299
00:14:56,462 --> 00:14:59,232
Okay, my boy.
I won't ask you again, okay?
300
00:14:59,332 --> 00:15:01,234
Thank you.
301
00:15:02,902 --> 00:15:04,737
Before we go, though,
could you fill us in
302
00:15:04,837 --> 00:15:06,639
on what's going on with
the company and Phyllis?
303
00:15:06,739 --> 00:15:08,274
Oh.
304
00:15:08,374 --> 00:15:10,209
Well, I'm happy to say that,
on that front,
305
00:15:10,309 --> 00:15:12,879
I have some good news, you know?
306
00:15:15,815 --> 00:15:18,217
I didn't tell Victor
I wouldn't represent Phyllis.
307
00:15:18,317 --> 00:15:21,020
I bet you didn't tell him
you would, either, did you?
308
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:22,989
Is that right, Michael?
309
00:15:23,089 --> 00:15:25,792
Well, I, um...
310
00:15:25,892 --> 00:15:28,294
-I'm still contemplating that.
-Okay, Michael, Michael.
311
00:15:28,394 --> 00:15:29,929
This is very simple.
312
00:15:30,029 --> 00:15:32,765
You're either in my camp
or you're in Victor's camp.
313
00:15:32,865 --> 00:15:36,169
Well, there's nothing simple
about this case.
314
00:15:36,269 --> 00:15:38,871
That's why I'm considering
all my options.
315
00:15:38,971 --> 00:15:41,841
I wanna do the right thing
for all the parties involved.
316
00:15:41,941 --> 00:15:44,177
Well, the right thing for me
is to stay out of prison.
317
00:15:44,277 --> 00:15:45,711
The right thing
for me and Lauren
318
00:15:45,812 --> 00:15:48,948
is to keep a company we've been
working so hard to build.
319
00:15:49,048 --> 00:15:50,716
I'm aware of all of that.
320
00:15:50,817 --> 00:15:54,353
Okay, Michael, none of the other
parties matter right now.
321
00:15:54,454 --> 00:15:56,722
Can I count on you or not?
322
00:15:59,292 --> 00:16:01,427
It would mean a lot to me
323
00:16:01,527 --> 00:16:04,297
if you would take
Phyllis's case.
324
00:16:04,397 --> 00:16:06,966
Well, as I just said...
325
00:16:07,066 --> 00:16:09,802
I am still contemplating that.
326
00:16:09,902 --> 00:16:11,871
No.
327
00:16:11,971 --> 00:16:13,873
That is not good enough.
328
00:16:13,973 --> 00:16:15,875
I'm with Phyllis on this.
329
00:16:15,975 --> 00:16:19,378
Because the only reason
that you wouldn't represent her
330
00:16:19,479 --> 00:16:22,114
is if Victor had gotten to you.
331
00:16:23,115 --> 00:16:24,750
Has he?
332
00:16:24,851 --> 00:16:29,121
Because I really, really thought
we were past all of that.
333
00:16:34,026 --> 00:16:36,262
Feel free to dig further.
334
00:16:36,362 --> 00:16:38,531
But the fact is,
the emails do exist,
335
00:16:38,631 --> 00:16:40,833
and they prove criminal intent
336
00:16:40,933 --> 00:16:43,202
and Phyllis's name
is all over it.
337
00:16:43,302 --> 00:16:45,304
Case closed,
as far as I'm concerned.
338
00:16:45,404 --> 00:16:48,574
Yeah, I won't deny
these emails are damning,
339
00:16:48,674 --> 00:16:50,776
and it doesn't look like
it's just Phyllis and Cane
340
00:16:50,877 --> 00:16:52,211
caught up in this.
341
00:16:52,311 --> 00:16:54,380
The emails also implicate Billy.
342
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:56,282
I'm aware of that.
343
00:16:56,382 --> 00:16:58,684
I know. I could tell
by the look on your face
344
00:16:58,784 --> 00:17:01,053
when I asked if anyone else
could be involved.
345
00:17:02,588 --> 00:17:06,025
But, you know, there's actually
no direct correspondence
346
00:17:06,125 --> 00:17:07,560
to or from Billy.
347
00:17:07,660 --> 00:17:09,929
He's only mentioned
as having played a role.
348
00:17:10,029 --> 00:17:11,364
But if this goes to trial,
349
00:17:11,464 --> 00:17:14,467
Billy's role, whatever it was,
will be revealed.
350
00:17:14,567 --> 00:17:17,403
It will be looked at
under a microscope.
351
00:17:17,503 --> 00:17:18,971
And if it turns into a crime,
352
00:17:19,071 --> 00:17:21,674
he will go down
with Phyllis and Cane.
353
00:17:23,609 --> 00:17:26,279
Okay. Now it's not the DA
talking.
354
00:17:26,379 --> 00:17:28,314
It's me.
355
00:17:28,414 --> 00:17:31,651
I know--I know the Newmans lost
a lot of money in this takeover,
356
00:17:31,751 --> 00:17:33,953
but Victoria,
this would become personal,
357
00:17:34,053 --> 00:17:36,589
so you really have to
think about it.
358
00:17:36,689 --> 00:17:38,925
Do you really want the father
of your children
359
00:17:39,025 --> 00:17:41,627
caught up in this mess?
360
00:17:48,901 --> 00:17:51,504
We don't have to do this now
if you don't want to.
361
00:17:51,604 --> 00:17:54,340
No. No, no, no. I do. I--
362
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:56,609
I do want to. It's just...
363
00:17:58,778 --> 00:18:00,313
Everything's such a blur.
364
00:18:00,413 --> 00:18:03,649
Well, let's just
take it back a little bit.
365
00:18:03,749 --> 00:18:05,985
How did you even know
where Matt was?
366
00:18:06,085 --> 00:18:07,887
How did you find him?
367
00:18:07,987 --> 00:18:09,822
I didn't. I didn't know.
I just--
368
00:18:09,922 --> 00:18:14,026
I was going to the location
that Riza gave me, and I--
369
00:18:14,126 --> 00:18:15,695
I just saw him.
370
00:18:15,795 --> 00:18:17,663
He was stopped
on the side of the road.
371
00:18:17,763 --> 00:18:21,200
So I confronted him.
I knew he was up to something.
372
00:18:21,300 --> 00:18:24,870
Did he attack you
or try to hurt you?
373
00:18:24,971 --> 00:18:26,872
Not at first.
374
00:18:26,973 --> 00:18:30,309
He was actually pretty calm.
375
00:18:30,409 --> 00:18:32,878
It's like...it's like
he wanted me to know
376
00:18:32,979 --> 00:18:35,448
what he was gonna do, like...
377
00:18:35,548 --> 00:18:37,750
he was proud of it.
378
00:18:37,850 --> 00:18:40,753
SHARON: You said that you
tried to dissuade him?
379
00:18:40,853 --> 00:18:42,788
Yeah, and I thought that I was--
380
00:18:42,888 --> 00:18:45,791
I was actually getting
somewhere, you know? But...
381
00:18:45,891 --> 00:18:46,993
[scoffs]
382
00:18:47,093 --> 00:18:48,527
Can't out-mind game Matt.
383
00:18:48,628 --> 00:18:50,930
He is always gonna win.
384
00:18:51,864 --> 00:18:55,001
So...you got angry?
385
00:18:57,737 --> 00:18:59,305
I must have.
386
00:18:59,405 --> 00:19:00,906
But...oh, my God.
387
00:19:01,007 --> 00:19:03,209
-And what happened then?
-I don't know.
388
00:19:03,309 --> 00:19:07,513
I don't--I don't know, 'cause
I don't--I don't remember.
389
00:19:11,550 --> 00:19:13,786
I remember we were
outside of the car...
390
00:19:15,521 --> 00:19:17,923
And Matt was lying
on the ground, and he wasn't...
391
00:19:18,024 --> 00:19:20,292
he wasn't moving, and--
392
00:19:21,927 --> 00:19:24,397
I must...
393
00:19:24,497 --> 00:19:27,199
I musta done it, because
there was nobody else around.
394
00:19:27,299 --> 00:19:30,369
But I don't remember.
I don't remember doing it.
395
00:19:31,937 --> 00:19:33,439
SHARON: Did you check
396
00:19:33,539 --> 00:19:35,775
for a pulse,
make sure that he was dead?
397
00:19:35,875 --> 00:19:37,543
He was--he was dead. Ha.
398
00:19:38,644 --> 00:19:40,980
Okay, but you said
you don't remember,
399
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:44,583
and he hasn't turned up dead.
400
00:19:44,684 --> 00:19:48,087
You think that I would
make something like this up?
401
00:19:48,187 --> 00:19:50,256
He's dead.
402
00:19:50,356 --> 00:19:53,125
Matt is dead.
403
00:19:55,161 --> 00:19:56,529
NICK: So you found emails
404
00:19:56,629 --> 00:20:01,300
confirming that Phyllis
and Cane and Billy
405
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:03,402
colluded to try and steal
the company.
406
00:20:03,502 --> 00:20:06,372
Exactly.
A paper trail a mile long.
407
00:20:06,472 --> 00:20:08,908
And you confronted Phyllis
with this.
408
00:20:09,008 --> 00:20:11,310
Yep. And she, of course,
you know...
409
00:20:11,410 --> 00:20:13,212
determined to fight it in court.
410
00:20:13,312 --> 00:20:14,580
Good luck to her.
411
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:17,383
So what's the next step?
412
00:20:17,483 --> 00:20:19,385
The next step is that Victoria
413
00:20:19,485 --> 00:20:22,555
is delivering the evidence
to the new DA in town
414
00:20:22,655 --> 00:20:26,625
as we speak, and the new DA
is Christine Romalotti.
415
00:20:26,726 --> 00:20:29,628
Christine is the new DA.
Since when?
416
00:20:29,729 --> 00:20:31,197
As of today.
417
00:20:31,297 --> 00:20:33,365
What happened
to her predecessor?
418
00:20:33,466 --> 00:20:36,569
I have no clue. Apparently,
she retired due to illness.
419
00:20:36,669 --> 00:20:38,270
And you wouldn't have
anything to do with
420
00:20:38,370 --> 00:20:40,406
suggesting Christine as her
replacement, would you?
421
00:20:40,506 --> 00:20:41,941
I wish I could take credit
for that,
422
00:20:42,041 --> 00:20:43,876
but I had nothing to do with it.
423
00:20:43,976 --> 00:20:46,378
It's a lucky circumstance.
Worked out well for us.
424
00:20:46,479 --> 00:20:49,381
Yeah, I mean, it is amazing
425
00:20:49,482 --> 00:20:51,183
that those emails turned up.
426
00:20:51,283 --> 00:20:54,019
I mean, it's...very lucky.
427
00:20:54,120 --> 00:20:56,288
-Indeed.
-I don't know.
428
00:20:56,388 --> 00:20:58,157
I guess I just find it
hard to believe
429
00:20:58,257 --> 00:21:00,025
that Phyllis and Cane
430
00:21:00,126 --> 00:21:02,628
and even dumb-as-a-box-of-rocks
Billy
431
00:21:02,728 --> 00:21:05,865
would leave a paper trail
like that, Dad.
432
00:21:05,965 --> 00:21:07,900
Are you a hundred percent sure
433
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,569
that evidence is legit?
434
00:21:10,669 --> 00:21:13,939
Why would I claim it otherwise?
435
00:21:14,940 --> 00:21:16,475
For my children's sake,
436
00:21:16,575 --> 00:21:19,311
of course I don't want
Billy drawn into this, you know?
437
00:21:19,411 --> 00:21:22,414
I hate that he has
any involvement
438
00:21:22,515 --> 00:21:25,951
to begin with, but, you know,
he made the decision
439
00:21:26,051 --> 00:21:28,387
to cheat my mother
and my father.
440
00:21:28,487 --> 00:21:32,591
His children's grandmother
and grandfather, so...
441
00:21:32,691 --> 00:21:34,860
the chips will fall
where they may.
442
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:38,497
It might be that simple for you
is all I'm saying.
443
00:21:38,597 --> 00:21:40,800
I appreciate your concern,
I really do,
444
00:21:40,900 --> 00:21:44,870
but family ties didn't mean
anything to Billy.
445
00:21:44,970 --> 00:21:46,806
They didn't mean
anything to Phyllis.
446
00:21:46,906 --> 00:21:49,441
I mean, she was willing
to try to steal
447
00:21:49,542 --> 00:21:51,343
from her own daughter's family.
448
00:21:52,311 --> 00:21:55,114
Summer has disowned Phyllis.
You know that, right?
449
00:21:55,214 --> 00:21:56,982
-Daniel told me.
-Yeah.
450
00:21:57,082 --> 00:21:59,685
And Daniel doesn't want anything
to do with her either.
451
00:21:59,785 --> 00:22:01,020
So what does that tell you?
452
00:22:01,120 --> 00:22:03,622
But Victoria,
I'm just trying to point out
453
00:22:03,722 --> 00:22:06,492
this could get so much
bigger and uglier
454
00:22:06,592 --> 00:22:08,994
if you fight back.
455
00:22:09,094 --> 00:22:12,097
Knowing you as long as I have,
I have to believe
456
00:22:12,198 --> 00:22:14,366
that your children mean
far more to you
457
00:22:14,466 --> 00:22:19,205
than any company, even one
as grand as Newman Enterprises.
458
00:22:19,305 --> 00:22:22,441
I am doing this for my children.
459
00:22:22,541 --> 00:22:24,443
This is just as much
about their future
460
00:22:24,543 --> 00:22:26,412
as it is about mine.
461
00:22:26,512 --> 00:22:29,148
Billy, I mean, he played a part
462
00:22:29,248 --> 00:22:31,650
in the theft and the destruction
of the company
463
00:22:31,750 --> 00:22:35,054
that my family spent
their entire lives building.
464
00:22:36,322 --> 00:22:39,725
Well, he can take his punishment
along with the rest of them.
465
00:22:41,327 --> 00:22:43,362
This case has nothing to do
466
00:22:43,462 --> 00:22:45,397
with my relationship
with Victor.
467
00:22:45,497 --> 00:22:47,867
Ha. Of course it does.
468
00:22:47,967 --> 00:22:50,302
He's the one making
all of this happen.
469
00:22:50,402 --> 00:22:52,571
Mm. Yes.
But unlike the two of you,
470
00:22:52,671 --> 00:22:55,774
I can't afford to get caught up
in all the emotion of it
471
00:22:55,875 --> 00:22:58,377
because one of us
has to deal with the facts.
472
00:22:58,477 --> 00:23:00,479
There are not facts.
Victor's lying.
473
00:23:00,579 --> 00:23:02,514
And you can prove that in court?
474
00:23:02,615 --> 00:23:05,150
Michael, I was sort of
hoping you could.
475
00:23:05,251 --> 00:23:08,921
Well, judges and juries
can be convinced
476
00:23:09,021 --> 00:23:10,623
that the evidence is authentic.
477
00:23:10,723 --> 00:23:12,591
-PHYLLIS: How?
-The emails themselves.
478
00:23:12,691 --> 00:23:15,094
-They're fake.
-You have to prove it.
479
00:23:15,194 --> 00:23:17,029
There will also be the testimony
480
00:23:17,129 --> 00:23:19,198
of the former department heads.
481
00:23:19,298 --> 00:23:22,368
Right. Who Victor has paid off
to lie for him, so...
482
00:23:22,468 --> 00:23:25,371
Right. I have seen you
pull this kind of testimony
483
00:23:25,471 --> 00:23:26,906
and evidence apart.
484
00:23:27,006 --> 00:23:31,210
You've turned it into grumblings
of disgruntled employees.
485
00:23:32,544 --> 00:23:34,780
And Christine,
486
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:37,116
who happens to be
a brilliant attorney,
487
00:23:37,216 --> 00:23:39,184
will sell it as gospel.
488
00:23:39,285 --> 00:23:41,553
Look, the actual facts
of the case
489
00:23:41,654 --> 00:23:43,289
don't even matter anymore.
490
00:23:43,389 --> 00:23:45,291
It's the perception that counts.
491
00:23:45,391 --> 00:23:48,627
And right now, that perception
is working against you.
492
00:23:48,727 --> 00:23:50,763
Okay, Michael.
493
00:23:50,863 --> 00:23:52,865
What do you suggest I do?
494
00:23:52,965 --> 00:23:58,437
If you insist on fighting it
and taking it to trial,
495
00:23:58,537 --> 00:24:01,707
it would be borderline
malpractice for me
496
00:24:01,807 --> 00:24:04,543
not to advise you
to accept a plea deal.
497
00:24:04,643 --> 00:24:06,879
Uh, there's no way in hell
I'm doing that.
498
00:24:06,979 --> 00:24:09,381
Oh, gosh, what a surprise.
Well...
499
00:24:09,481 --> 00:24:11,450
the other option would be
500
00:24:11,550 --> 00:24:13,719
not to get charged
in the first place.
501
00:24:13,819 --> 00:24:16,021
And that offer might still
be on the table,
502
00:24:16,121 --> 00:24:19,224
but you will have to give
Victor what he wants.
503
00:24:19,325 --> 00:24:21,393
I knew he'd do this to me.
504
00:24:21,493 --> 00:24:23,262
What? Whether you
like it or not,
505
00:24:23,362 --> 00:24:25,564
it's still your best option.
506
00:24:25,664 --> 00:24:29,735
No, you presented
this lame strategy to me before,
507
00:24:29,835 --> 00:24:33,839
and I told you very directly
what to do with it.
508
00:24:33,939 --> 00:24:36,508
But apparently,
you went behind my back
509
00:24:36,608 --> 00:24:38,510
and tried to make a deal
with Victor.
510
00:24:38,610 --> 00:24:41,680
No! I'm not doing that.
511
00:24:41,780 --> 00:24:44,083
And you ignored me, once again.
512
00:24:44,183 --> 00:24:46,385
And here we are, Phyllis.
513
00:24:46,485 --> 00:24:48,220
You pretending to be
queen of the world
514
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:49,922
while everything
crumbles around you!
515
00:24:50,022 --> 00:24:51,023
LAUREN: Okay. All right.
516
00:24:51,123 --> 00:24:52,324
-Take a breath.
-No, no, no, no!
517
00:24:52,424 --> 00:24:53,826
I know how her mind works.
518
00:24:53,926 --> 00:24:56,261
If I represent her
and she loses,
519
00:24:56,362 --> 00:24:59,298
she'll accuse me of throwing
the case to appease Victor,
520
00:24:59,398 --> 00:25:03,369
and that is a scenario
I dearly would like to avoid.
521
00:25:03,469 --> 00:25:05,804
Okay. I can help you with that.
522
00:25:05,904 --> 00:25:07,940
Don't lose.
523
00:25:18,017 --> 00:25:20,753
I agree with Nick.
It seems strange that Phyllis
524
00:25:20,853 --> 00:25:23,455
would leave a trail of
email messages
525
00:25:23,555 --> 00:25:26,091
-that could send her to prison.
-She's too savvy, okay?
526
00:25:26,191 --> 00:25:28,627
She knows nothing's going to
disappear on the internet, Dad.
527
00:25:28,727 --> 00:25:30,029
She's not that reckless.
528
00:25:30,129 --> 00:25:32,664
You know she is reckless.
She was born reckless.
529
00:25:32,765 --> 00:25:34,933
Okay. So [laughs] how, exactly,
530
00:25:35,034 --> 00:25:37,669
did this "best" tech team
in the world
531
00:25:37,770 --> 00:25:40,639
pull up these emails?
Are we sure they're legitimate?
532
00:25:40,739 --> 00:25:43,075
Who cares
if it's legitimate or not?
533
00:25:43,175 --> 00:25:45,711
We all know she stole
my company from me.
534
00:25:45,811 --> 00:25:47,813
I'm trying to get it back.
535
00:25:47,913 --> 00:25:50,282
She wants to fight me in court.
536
00:25:50,382 --> 00:25:53,619
She's gonna lose in court.
She has no chance.
537
00:25:53,719 --> 00:25:56,622
I'm just trying to
protect you, Phyllis.
538
00:25:56,722 --> 00:26:00,826
But if you won't let me
do that by taking my advice...
539
00:26:00,926 --> 00:26:03,629
then at least I can try
to protect our friendship.
540
00:26:03,729 --> 00:26:06,865
It sounds like you're protecting
your friendship with Victor.
541
00:26:06,965 --> 00:26:10,202
I'm just trying to prove
a point--you can't beat him.
542
00:26:10,302 --> 00:26:12,471
Well, maybe what you're trying
to tell me, Michael,
543
00:26:12,571 --> 00:26:15,274
is you can't beat him.
544
00:26:15,374 --> 00:26:17,743
You're not the only game
in town.
545
00:26:17,843 --> 00:26:21,080
I feared this might happen,
so I've put together a list
546
00:26:21,180 --> 00:26:26,285
of some crackerjack attorneys
in the country and, um,
547
00:26:26,385 --> 00:26:28,153
I think they'd jump at
the chance
548
00:26:28,253 --> 00:26:30,222
to be head of
the legal department
549
00:26:30,322 --> 00:26:31,557
at Summers Conglomerate.
550
00:26:31,657 --> 00:26:32,991
Let me see that.
551
00:26:33,092 --> 00:26:35,894
-Oh, no. That's not for you.
-Ah-uh--
552
00:26:38,597 --> 00:26:40,299
[laughing]
553
00:26:40,399 --> 00:26:41,767
Why are you laughing?
554
00:26:41,867 --> 00:26:44,770
Well, your first candidate
was disbarred last month.
555
00:26:44,870 --> 00:26:48,540
And your second choice
was indicted for bribery.
556
00:26:49,541 --> 00:26:50,976
[laughs]
557
00:26:51,076 --> 00:26:53,679
Oh, but I have to admit
I do like your third pick.
558
00:26:53,779 --> 00:26:55,981
I've seen her in court.
She's killer.
559
00:26:56,081 --> 00:26:57,649
Okay, good.
I'll hire her then.
560
00:26:57,749 --> 00:26:59,785
Please give that back to me.
561
00:26:59,885 --> 00:27:02,988
Well, the only, uh,
problem with that is
562
00:27:03,088 --> 00:27:07,192
Victor hired her last week
to head Legal at Chancellor.
563
00:27:07,292 --> 00:27:08,961
And I can guarantee you
564
00:27:09,061 --> 00:27:10,729
that every other
viable name on that list
565
00:27:10,829 --> 00:27:13,732
has already been gotten to
by Victor.
566
00:27:16,635 --> 00:27:19,471
I can't catch a break, can I?
567
00:27:19,571 --> 00:27:21,707
I mean, the hits
just keep on coming.
568
00:27:21,807 --> 00:27:23,809
Good God. [exhales]
569
00:27:23,909 --> 00:27:26,078
No one has my back.
570
00:27:26,178 --> 00:27:27,779
No one.
571
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:29,581
Except you.
572
00:27:29,681 --> 00:27:31,984
You're the only person who has
not abandoned me, Lauren.
573
00:27:32,084 --> 00:27:35,787
No, wait, hold on.
I have not abandoned you.
574
00:27:35,888 --> 00:27:38,590
I'm...I'm just trying to
make you see
575
00:27:38,690 --> 00:27:40,225
what you're up against.
576
00:27:40,325 --> 00:27:41,693
What I'm up against? Oh!
577
00:27:41,793 --> 00:27:44,796
'Cause poor Victor...
is a victim?
578
00:27:44,897 --> 00:27:47,432
He's never been a victim, ever.
579
00:27:47,533 --> 00:27:50,502
Although, everybody
feels bad for him--my son.
580
00:27:50,602 --> 00:27:52,871
My daughter.
581
00:27:52,971 --> 00:27:54,773
My so-called friends.
582
00:27:54,873 --> 00:27:57,009
I mean, everybody's trying to
guilt me into
583
00:27:57,109 --> 00:28:00,612
giving up something that
I've worked so hard to attain.
584
00:28:00,712 --> 00:28:02,681
You know,
with everybody jumping ship
585
00:28:02,781 --> 00:28:04,183
and stabbing me in the back,
586
00:28:04,283 --> 00:28:07,486
I never thought that you would
be one to do that as well.
587
00:28:14,259 --> 00:28:17,229
I'm not doubting your story,
Sienna,
588
00:28:17,329 --> 00:28:19,932
but you said yourself
it's a blur.
589
00:28:20,032 --> 00:28:22,968
Yeah, but I know
that that happened.
590
00:28:23,068 --> 00:28:25,037
Matt is dead. I killed him.
591
00:28:25,137 --> 00:28:26,872
W-what more do you want me
to say?
592
00:28:26,972 --> 00:28:29,474
Okay, Mom, maybe we should
give it a rest for now.
593
00:28:29,575 --> 00:28:32,044
The sooner you can
piece this together,
594
00:28:32,144 --> 00:28:33,712
the sooner we can help.
595
00:28:33,812 --> 00:28:35,447
You said you killed him.
596
00:28:35,547 --> 00:28:36,882
I did kill him.
597
00:28:36,982 --> 00:28:39,918
Well, where did this
altercation take place?
598
00:28:40,018 --> 00:28:42,621
Was it at the roadside,
near Matt's car?
599
00:28:42,721 --> 00:28:44,223
It was in the desert.
600
00:28:44,323 --> 00:28:46,124
Where in the desert?
601
00:28:46,225 --> 00:28:48,060
I don't know. I-I don't know.
602
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:50,195
He--he--he was chasing me,
and then--
603
00:28:50,295 --> 00:28:52,698
Really, what difference
does all this make?
604
00:28:52,798 --> 00:28:54,533
Okay, Mom, that's it.
That's enough.
605
00:28:54,633 --> 00:28:57,436
He is dead. I told you this,
and that much I am certain of.
606
00:28:57,536 --> 00:28:59,671
And you--I--I'm sor--
I just--I can't.
607
00:28:59,771 --> 00:29:01,773
I can't.
I can't do this anymore.
608
00:29:01,873 --> 00:29:03,008
-I can't.
-Whoa, wait.
609
00:29:03,108 --> 00:29:04,943
Mm-mm. No.
610
00:29:07,112 --> 00:29:10,015
-What's going on?
-Ask Mom.
611
00:29:19,157 --> 00:29:20,425
What was that about?
612
00:29:20,525 --> 00:29:22,661
I was trying to get Sienna
to remember
613
00:29:22,761 --> 00:29:25,297
what actually happened
with her and Matt.
614
00:29:25,397 --> 00:29:26,798
Did she?
615
00:29:26,898 --> 00:29:30,669
A little. I don't know.
Maybe I pushed her too hard.
616
00:29:32,371 --> 00:29:34,773
Well, I'm sure Noah
can calm her down.
617
00:29:34,873 --> 00:29:38,210
I wish he could
get me to calm down.
618
00:29:38,310 --> 00:29:40,445
How are you feeling?
619
00:29:42,014 --> 00:29:44,750
Better, you know,
maybe a little shaky.
620
00:29:47,219 --> 00:29:50,055
Well, that sounds pretty normal.
621
00:29:52,791 --> 00:29:55,227
Yeah. That's my target,
you know, normal.
622
00:29:57,262 --> 00:30:00,732
I still cannot believe
that I got so out of control
623
00:30:00,832 --> 00:30:02,801
with those drugs.
624
00:30:02,901 --> 00:30:05,771
I mean, I've never wanted
anything in my life that bad,
625
00:30:05,871 --> 00:30:07,706
not ever.
626
00:30:08,707 --> 00:30:10,842
It's scary.
627
00:30:10,942 --> 00:30:14,613
Gives me a real understanding
of what my mom's gone through.
628
00:30:14,713 --> 00:30:16,415
Nicholas...
629
00:30:16,515 --> 00:30:18,684
this wasn't your fault.
630
00:30:18,784 --> 00:30:22,688
This happens to good people
every single day.
631
00:30:22,788 --> 00:30:25,891
Your family understands that.
I understand that.
632
00:30:25,991 --> 00:30:28,026
Nobody is judging you.
633
00:30:29,594 --> 00:30:31,596
Well, you'd be wrong about that.
634
00:30:31,697 --> 00:30:34,132
Well, then, you need to
forgive yourself.
635
00:30:34,232 --> 00:30:36,802
I'm trying. I really am.
636
00:30:38,370 --> 00:30:41,406
But I put so many people
that I love in danger.
637
00:30:43,041 --> 00:30:45,444
I'm having a hard time
coming to terms with that.
638
00:30:47,679 --> 00:30:49,781
By the way, what did you know?
639
00:30:49,881 --> 00:30:52,451
-About Nick?
-Yeah.
640
00:30:52,551 --> 00:30:55,687
I mean, he'd been acting strange
even before Vegas.
641
00:30:55,787 --> 00:30:57,923
His mood swings,
his recklessness.
642
00:30:58,023 --> 00:30:59,691
Looking back, it's probably
one of the reasons
643
00:30:59,791 --> 00:31:01,626
that I agreed to take
the trip with him,
644
00:31:01,727 --> 00:31:04,029
because I knew
something was off.
645
00:31:04,129 --> 00:31:06,031
Well...
646
00:31:06,131 --> 00:31:09,668
if there's one silver lining
in this, it's that...
647
00:31:09,768 --> 00:31:12,504
that you brothers
are getting closer.
648
00:31:12,604 --> 00:31:15,040
Well, we still piss
each other off, but yeah,
649
00:31:15,140 --> 00:31:17,209
he's my brother.
650
00:31:17,309 --> 00:31:20,846
It's feeling more and more
normal for me to say that.
651
00:31:20,946 --> 00:31:23,882
And I'm very happy
to hear that, son.
652
00:31:25,450 --> 00:31:28,019
I delivered the evidence
to Christine.
653
00:31:29,287 --> 00:31:33,125
So now we wait and see
if she'll run with it.
654
00:31:36,194 --> 00:31:37,462
Yep.
655
00:31:43,201 --> 00:31:44,870
Hang on, Phyllis. I--
656
00:31:44,970 --> 00:31:47,239
You know, Michael, we've known
each other a long time--
657
00:31:47,339 --> 00:31:50,041
longer than I can remember,
actually--
658
00:31:50,142 --> 00:31:54,279
and our friendship
has been through a lot,
659
00:31:54,379 --> 00:31:56,982
even when you decided to
defend Sharon
660
00:31:57,082 --> 00:31:59,351
against my son's wishes.
661
00:32:00,819 --> 00:32:04,556
Do I still need to remind you
that Sharon was innocent?
662
00:32:06,758 --> 00:32:08,527
So am I.
663
00:32:08,627 --> 00:32:10,562
Phyllis...
664
00:32:10,662 --> 00:32:12,164
please.
665
00:32:12,264 --> 00:32:15,467
You and Cane did unleash
that AI program.
666
00:32:15,567 --> 00:32:18,403
You did steal Victor's company.
667
00:32:18,503 --> 00:32:20,605
And then...
668
00:32:20,705 --> 00:32:24,676
you double-crossed Cane to take
possession of it yourself.
669
00:32:24,776 --> 00:32:26,778
Now, there are a lot of words
to describe that,
670
00:32:26,878 --> 00:32:28,880
but innocent isn't one of 'em.
671
00:32:28,980 --> 00:32:31,082
You know Victor and Cane
did the same thing,
672
00:32:31,183 --> 00:32:34,019
but in their case,
you would just call it
673
00:32:34,119 --> 00:32:36,455
hardball and buy him a drink,
right?
674
00:32:36,555 --> 00:32:39,558
-Not true.
-Okay. You know? Of course.
675
00:32:39,658 --> 00:32:42,427
Of course it's not true, because
it goes against the narrative
676
00:32:42,527 --> 00:32:44,396
of me being the bad guy, right?
677
00:32:44,496 --> 00:32:46,865
No. I don't believe that either.
678
00:32:46,965 --> 00:32:48,900
I just don't think
you're gonna win this,
679
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:51,336
and I don't want to see you
go to prison for it.
680
00:32:51,436 --> 00:32:53,271
Okay, well,
whether I win or lose,
681
00:32:53,371 --> 00:32:55,106
it's not of your concern
anymore,
682
00:32:55,207 --> 00:32:57,909
and I want you to know
the worst lawyer on this list
683
00:32:58,009 --> 00:32:59,878
is better than you.
684
00:33:07,118 --> 00:33:09,454
I don't know what else
to say to her.
685
00:33:09,554 --> 00:33:11,823
Well, then.
686
00:33:11,923 --> 00:33:15,260
Better start thinking about what
you're going to say to me.
687
00:33:24,035 --> 00:33:25,770
Christine
will do the right thing.
688
00:33:25,871 --> 00:33:30,275
I don't know, Dad.
She didn't seem 100% convinced.
689
00:33:30,375 --> 00:33:32,644
She'll follow the evidence.
690
00:33:32,744 --> 00:33:34,980
Evidence is on our side.
691
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:36,781
It would be nice to get
a win for a change.
692
00:33:36,882 --> 00:33:38,650
Family's been getting hit
from all sides
693
00:33:38,750 --> 00:33:40,418
for far too long.
694
00:33:40,519 --> 00:33:43,054
Did you speak to Michael?
695
00:33:43,154 --> 00:33:45,123
Yeah. I gave him a warning.
696
00:33:45,223 --> 00:33:48,093
Is he still planning
to defend Phyllis?
697
00:33:48,193 --> 00:33:50,962
He won't if he knows
what's good for him.
698
00:33:52,731 --> 00:33:55,300
This case is a lost cause.
Can you not see that?
699
00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:56,735
That's not the point.
700
00:33:56,835 --> 00:33:59,437
Of course it's the point.
It's the only point.
701
00:33:59,538 --> 00:34:01,039
Come on, Michael.
702
00:34:01,139 --> 00:34:03,875
I have watched you defend
more hopeless causes
703
00:34:03,975 --> 00:34:05,544
than I can even count,
704
00:34:05,644 --> 00:34:08,046
so don't you dare try
and use that as an excuse
705
00:34:08,146 --> 00:34:10,081
not to help Phyllis.
706
00:34:10,181 --> 00:34:14,586
This is all about you staying
on the right side of Victor.
707
00:34:14,686 --> 00:34:18,256
You just can't let him go.
708
00:34:38,176 --> 00:34:40,345
Why can't I catch a break?
709
00:34:41,780 --> 00:34:43,848
Why is everybody out to get me?
710
00:34:45,984 --> 00:34:49,688
So what did Sienna remember
about that night?
711
00:34:49,788 --> 00:34:51,423
Not a whole lot,
712
00:34:51,523 --> 00:34:53,692
but she did become
very agitated
713
00:34:53,792 --> 00:34:57,796
when I suggested that
Matt Clark might not be dead.
714
00:34:57,896 --> 00:34:59,798
You're having doubts
about that too?
715
00:34:59,898 --> 00:35:02,434
SHARON: This is Matt Clark
we're talking about.
716
00:35:02,534 --> 00:35:05,537
Of course I'm having doubts.
717
00:35:15,513 --> 00:35:17,449
SPEAKER: "Next week
on the Young and the Restless."
718
00:35:17,549 --> 00:35:19,184
Oh, my God, this can't be
happening.
719
00:35:19,284 --> 00:35:21,886
No, Lily, it's fine.
Amanda will post my bail.
720
00:35:21,987 --> 00:35:23,955
I promise you,
I'll get to New York.
721
00:35:25,490 --> 00:35:28,426
-DIANE: Ugh.
-Well, hello, you two!
722
00:35:28,526 --> 00:35:31,229
Oh, can the day get any better?
723
00:35:31,329 --> 00:35:32,897
[giggles]
724
00:35:32,998 --> 00:35:35,000
Are you okay?
725
00:35:35,100 --> 00:35:38,570
How far away am I
from this place?
726
00:35:52,884 --> 00:35:55,487
