1
00:00:05,205 --> 00:00:06,540
Phyllis better come through
2
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:08,575
and hand over Matt Clark soon.
3
00:00:08,675 --> 00:00:10,244
Out of human decency
4
00:00:10,344 --> 00:00:12,045
and the fact that your son
is not--
5
00:00:12,145 --> 00:00:14,715
-You mean our son?
-Our teenage son
6
00:00:14,815 --> 00:00:17,084
is not loving all this extra
security around him lately.
7
00:00:17,184 --> 00:00:19,887
The pick-ups and drop-offs
at Walnut Grove...
8
00:00:19,987 --> 00:00:23,857
It's weird! We have this black
SUV following us everywhere.
9
00:00:23,957 --> 00:00:25,859
They're supposed to be low-key.
10
00:00:25,959 --> 00:00:28,028
Well, for a kid who's very
sensitive
11
00:00:28,128 --> 00:00:30,063
about his surroundings,
12
00:00:30,163 --> 00:00:31,732
it doesn't go unnoticed.
13
00:00:31,832 --> 00:00:34,268
Well, did Connor say anything?
Has his OCD been triggered?
14
00:00:34,368 --> 00:00:35,969
Uh, no, but his attitude
15
00:00:36,069 --> 00:00:37,404
has been triggered.
16
00:00:37,504 --> 00:00:39,840
It's a lot of, "Aw, Mom,
come on! Come on!"
17
00:00:39,940 --> 00:00:41,341
It's weird for him.
18
00:00:41,441 --> 00:00:42,576
He's the only one of his
friends
19
00:00:42,676 --> 00:00:44,211
that has a security detail.
20
00:00:44,311 --> 00:00:47,514
Okay, well, it's great.
It's just normal teen angst.
21
00:00:48,782 --> 00:00:51,251
I mean, sure, but still...
22
00:00:51,351 --> 00:00:55,155
Matt Clark will be handled
and the security will ease up.
23
00:00:55,255 --> 00:00:57,257
We think. We hope.
24
00:00:57,357 --> 00:01:00,427
Phyllis says that she has him.
25
00:01:00,527 --> 00:01:01,662
Christine will drop
the charges,
26
00:01:01,762 --> 00:01:03,830
my father will get Matt,
and it's done.
27
00:01:03,931 --> 00:01:06,500
I know, Adam,
but there's just a lot--
28
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:08,135
Victor wants his company back.
29
00:01:08,235 --> 00:01:09,970
Which means it's not a done
deal.
30
00:01:10,070 --> 00:01:12,139
Okay, well, Phyllis is gonna
have to give in.
31
00:01:12,239 --> 00:01:15,309
Yes. Yes, right, because
she's so good at doing that.
32
00:01:15,409 --> 00:01:17,244
She will cave.
33
00:01:17,344 --> 00:01:19,613
To someone.
34
00:01:19,713 --> 00:01:21,548
What does that mean?
35
00:01:21,648 --> 00:01:24,184
Nick is obsessed with Matt,
36
00:01:24,284 --> 00:01:26,420
and he insists he be the one
to deal with him.
37
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:28,255
But Nick is not part of
the negotiation.
38
00:01:28,355 --> 00:01:31,858
Yes, I know, but if he makes
a deal with Phyllis,
39
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:35,295
that could be terrible
for all involved.
40
00:01:36,663 --> 00:01:38,632
PHYLLIS: Great.
41
00:01:38,732 --> 00:01:39,967
One of you that's finally
42
00:01:40,067 --> 00:01:41,768
reasonable--a reasonable Newman.
43
00:01:41,868 --> 00:01:44,404
-Whoa!
-Then you'll make the trade.
44
00:01:45,405 --> 00:01:47,341
You know, you want Matt.
45
00:01:47,441 --> 00:01:49,443
I want the charges dropped.
46
00:01:49,543 --> 00:01:50,911
Your dad is making a bunch of
47
00:01:51,011 --> 00:01:52,546
insane demands. He doesn't have
48
00:01:52,646 --> 00:01:53,814
higher ground here.
49
00:01:53,914 --> 00:01:56,583
No, no. Matt for the charges.
That's it.
50
00:01:56,683 --> 00:01:58,719
Forget everything else
my dad has asked for.
51
00:01:58,819 --> 00:02:00,387
-Gladly.
-Good.
52
00:02:00,487 --> 00:02:02,456
Then let's go.
Take me to see Matt--now.
53
00:02:02,556 --> 00:02:05,158
Not so fast.
54
00:02:08,662 --> 00:02:13,634
♪♪
55
00:02:40,427 --> 00:02:43,397
Phyllis, what's the problem?
What do we need to wait for?
56
00:02:43,497 --> 00:02:45,465
Well, we don't really have
a contract.
57
00:02:45,565 --> 00:02:47,768
We're not drawing one up.
58
00:02:47,868 --> 00:02:50,537
So we need to be specific
about what this entails.
59
00:02:50,637 --> 00:02:52,606
Phyllis, I'm telling you
right now,
60
00:02:52,706 --> 00:02:54,141
you don't want this guy
on your hands
61
00:02:54,241 --> 00:02:55,642
any longer than he needs to be.
62
00:02:55,742 --> 00:02:57,411
I get it.
Matt is a son of a bitch.
63
00:02:57,511 --> 00:03:00,247
He's dangerous. He's psycho.
I understand.
64
00:03:00,347 --> 00:03:02,282
But tell me, when you have him,
65
00:03:02,382 --> 00:03:04,885
what are you gonna do?
'Cause I know you're not
66
00:03:04,985 --> 00:03:06,987
just gonna give him
a stern talking to.
67
00:03:07,087 --> 00:03:09,723
That is none of your concern.
68
00:03:11,825 --> 00:03:14,394
You're not your father, Nick.
69
00:03:14,494 --> 00:03:17,364
Honestly, I know that Victor
can make these charges go away.
70
00:03:17,464 --> 00:03:19,800
I know that. Can you do that?
71
00:03:19,900 --> 00:03:22,369
Yes, I can. Are we done?
72
00:03:22,469 --> 00:03:24,805
I'm tired of Victor
coming for me and my company.
73
00:03:24,905 --> 00:03:26,540
I want the charges dropped.
74
00:03:26,640 --> 00:03:29,643
-I'm gonna handle that.
-I want them dropped...
75
00:03:29,743 --> 00:03:32,979
and I want to keep
Summers Conglomerate.
76
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,315
Is that understood?
77
00:03:35,415 --> 00:03:39,386
If you don't agree to that,
I'm not giving you Matt.
78
00:03:48,729 --> 00:03:49,629
Hey!
79
00:03:49,730 --> 00:03:51,131
-[giggling]
-You made it.
80
00:03:51,231 --> 00:03:53,633
Such a treat to see you
again, Matt.
81
00:04:02,342 --> 00:04:04,578
Nick has been through hell
because of Matt Clark.
82
00:04:04,678 --> 00:04:06,580
That man is evil.
It's like he's made it
83
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:10,016
his life's mission
to torture Nick and his family.
84
00:04:10,117 --> 00:04:11,685
I'm not arguing that.
85
00:04:11,785 --> 00:04:13,620
I just--there's a bigger
picture here
86
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:15,155
that Nick refuses to see.
87
00:04:15,255 --> 00:04:17,357
But what's bigger than
protecting his family?
88
00:04:17,457 --> 00:04:20,193
Protecting his entire family.
89
00:04:20,293 --> 00:04:21,828
What does that even mean?
90
00:04:21,928 --> 00:04:25,098
It means getting Matt
and getting Newman
91
00:04:25,198 --> 00:04:26,833
back in our hands
where it belongs.
92
00:04:26,933 --> 00:04:30,237
Why--why do the two of them
have to be tied together?
93
00:04:30,337 --> 00:04:33,006
Because Phyllis
made it that way?
94
00:04:33,106 --> 00:04:34,608
And Nick is ruining our chances
95
00:04:34,708 --> 00:04:36,810
to end both threats to
the Newmans--he could blow that.
96
00:04:36,910 --> 00:04:39,646
I know what Newman means to you,
to all of you,
97
00:04:39,746 --> 00:04:43,450
but this man has tried to
murder members of your family.
98
00:04:43,550 --> 00:04:45,218
I understand. And our father
will deal with that.
99
00:04:45,318 --> 00:04:48,688
But Phyllis doesn't have a free
pass when it comes to Matt.
100
00:04:48,789 --> 00:04:50,323
And honestly, at this point,
I think
101
00:04:50,423 --> 00:04:52,692
Nick would agree to anything
to get Matt where he wants him.
102
00:04:52,793 --> 00:04:54,594
But Nick hasn't done
anything so far, right?
103
00:04:54,694 --> 00:04:56,663
So maybe you're worrying
about nothing.
104
00:04:56,763 --> 00:04:58,498
Maybe.
105
00:04:58,598 --> 00:05:00,734
But it needs to happen now.
106
00:05:00,834 --> 00:05:03,470
The longer that man is protected
by Phyllis or anybody else,
107
00:05:03,570 --> 00:05:06,540
the less control we have
over the situation.
108
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:08,408
The way Victor wants it,
you mean.
109
00:05:08,508 --> 00:05:11,945
No. The way that it needs to be.
110
00:05:12,679 --> 00:05:14,414
Dropping the charges
against a crime
111
00:05:14,514 --> 00:05:16,650
that she absolutely committed--
112
00:05:16,750 --> 00:05:18,084
okay.
113
00:05:18,185 --> 00:05:21,855
But she doesn't get to keep
what she stole from us, Chelsea.
114
00:05:21,955 --> 00:05:23,657
That's a nonnegotiable.
115
00:05:24,791 --> 00:05:28,862
I need to make sure
this ridiculous case goes away.
116
00:05:28,962 --> 00:05:31,798
I told you I will handle that.
What is the problem?
117
00:05:31,898 --> 00:05:33,867
I want the charges dropped,
118
00:05:33,967 --> 00:05:35,702
and Summers Conglomerate is mine
119
00:05:35,802 --> 00:05:37,370
and it needs to stay that way.
120
00:05:37,470 --> 00:05:39,639
Okay, so that's it.
That's your bottom line?
121
00:05:39,739 --> 00:05:41,408
Yes. That's my bottom line.
122
00:05:41,508 --> 00:05:42,742
Done.
123
00:05:42,843 --> 00:05:45,145
"Done"? Really?
How can you say that?
124
00:05:45,245 --> 00:05:47,480
Because I'm saying it.
Take the win.
125
00:05:47,581 --> 00:05:49,416
I'll make sure my father
lets it go.
126
00:05:49,516 --> 00:05:51,785
You're sure of that?
127
00:05:51,885 --> 00:05:54,487
Matt is...a constant threat
to this family.
128
00:05:54,588 --> 00:05:56,323
He will never stop trying
to kill us,
129
00:05:56,423 --> 00:05:57,858
just like he did out in Vegas.
130
00:05:57,958 --> 00:06:00,427
My father will understand that.
131
00:06:00,527 --> 00:06:02,829
Business is business.
Money, it comes and goes.
132
00:06:02,929 --> 00:06:04,798
But family is everything.
133
00:06:04,898 --> 00:06:06,633
If one of us dies
because of this,
134
00:06:06,733 --> 00:06:08,001
there's no coming back
from that.
135
00:06:08,101 --> 00:06:09,569
Yeah? Really?
136
00:06:09,669 --> 00:06:11,638
Are you sure your dad
sees it that way?
137
00:06:11,738 --> 00:06:13,573
Why are you such a pain
in the ass about this?
138
00:06:13,673 --> 00:06:16,376
You know that Matt's a threat
to you too, right?
139
00:06:16,476 --> 00:06:18,011
I'm fine.
140
00:06:18,111 --> 00:06:19,813
Thanks for caring about me,
by the way.
141
00:06:19,913 --> 00:06:21,815
That, right there,
that overconfidence
142
00:06:21,915 --> 00:06:24,317
is gonna come back and bite you.
143
00:06:24,417 --> 00:06:26,786
Okay, once I hear
that the charges are dropped
144
00:06:26,887 --> 00:06:29,389
and you've made headway
with your father...
145
00:06:29,489 --> 00:06:31,157
I will tell you where Matt is.
146
00:06:31,258 --> 00:06:33,026
Not good enough.
147
00:06:33,126 --> 00:06:35,228
I need to know
that you have him.
148
00:06:35,328 --> 00:06:37,063
If I was to say to you,
"I need you to
149
00:06:37,163 --> 00:06:40,467
take me to him right now,"
can you make that happen?
150
00:06:41,301 --> 00:06:43,603
I was really pleased
to hear from you.
151
00:06:43,703 --> 00:06:45,472
Yeah. Thank you for coming.
152
00:06:45,572 --> 00:06:47,340
Well, how can I help?
153
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:49,776
How do you know
that I need help?
154
00:06:51,278 --> 00:06:53,647
I have a high level of empathy.
155
00:06:54,714 --> 00:06:56,349
You have kind eyes, Matt.
156
00:06:56,449 --> 00:06:58,151
And I see a lot of pain.
157
00:06:58,251 --> 00:06:59,986
-Really?
-Mm-hmm.
158
00:07:00,086 --> 00:07:03,056
I mean, I can see that,
but not everyone can.
159
00:07:03,156 --> 00:07:04,591
Yeah.
160
00:07:04,691 --> 00:07:06,526
I'm totally upside down
right now.
161
00:07:06,626 --> 00:07:08,261
I mean, people talk about
dissociating.
162
00:07:08,361 --> 00:07:10,096
It's like this buzzword,
but it's real.
163
00:07:10,196 --> 00:07:12,365
Yeah. I'm familiar.
164
00:07:12,465 --> 00:07:14,267
I'm like a stranger to myself.
Like I-I...
165
00:07:14,367 --> 00:07:16,036
I know things for sure,
but at the same time,
166
00:07:16,136 --> 00:07:17,470
those same things
that I think that I know,
167
00:07:17,570 --> 00:07:19,005
I don't really even know them.
168
00:07:19,105 --> 00:07:22,709
Like--like I'm reasonably sure
that I'm capable of driving,
169
00:07:22,809 --> 00:07:24,811
like I'm probably really good
at parallel parking,
170
00:07:24,911 --> 00:07:26,212
but I don't know,
do I own a car?
171
00:07:26,313 --> 00:07:28,915
Where's my car? Do I have
a wallet? Where's my wallet?
172
00:07:29,015 --> 00:07:30,884
I mean, was I carjacked?
Was I mugged?
173
00:07:30,984 --> 00:07:32,819
Is that where I got
this blunt-force trauma?
174
00:07:32,919 --> 00:07:34,321
Wow, I mean...
175
00:07:34,421 --> 00:07:36,289
you have been spinning
since I saw you last.
176
00:07:36,389 --> 00:07:38,391
Yeah. And I'm totally freaked
out about being in public.
177
00:07:38,491 --> 00:07:40,794
At any moment, any one of these
people, for no reason at all,
178
00:07:40,894 --> 00:07:42,395
out of the blue,
could just come up to me
179
00:07:42,495 --> 00:07:43,730
and start punching me
in the face!
180
00:07:43,830 --> 00:07:45,031
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
181
00:07:45,131 --> 00:07:47,400
I would never have
recognized you if you didn't say
182
00:07:47,500 --> 00:07:49,636
that you were gonna be wearing
the hat and glasses.
183
00:07:49,736 --> 00:07:50,870
Thank God.
184
00:07:50,971 --> 00:07:52,672
And it turns out this guy
who hates me,
185
00:07:52,772 --> 00:07:54,407
he's from like
this really big family.
186
00:07:54,507 --> 00:07:57,444
He's from the Newman family.
Do you know them?
187
00:07:57,544 --> 00:07:59,012
-Yes.
-You know them?
188
00:07:59,112 --> 00:08:01,081
Everyone knows
the Newman family.
189
00:08:01,181 --> 00:08:03,950
They are very wealthy
and powerful.
190
00:08:04,050 --> 00:08:06,353
Great. So I have a big target
on my back,
191
00:08:06,453 --> 00:08:08,054
and I don't even know why.
192
00:08:08,154 --> 00:08:10,557
Well, I mean,
we're in the same boat.
193
00:08:10,657 --> 00:08:12,993
I have a family
that hates me too.
194
00:08:13,093 --> 00:08:15,128
Right, but--
well, do you know why?
195
00:08:15,228 --> 00:08:17,664
I do.
196
00:08:17,764 --> 00:08:20,834
Okay, why? What'd you do?
197
00:08:20,934 --> 00:08:24,304
Are you really asking me that,
Matt, or...
198
00:08:24,404 --> 00:08:28,975
did Phyllis tell you
and you wanna see if I own it?
199
00:08:35,448 --> 00:08:37,217
You're thinking like a Newman.
200
00:08:37,317 --> 00:08:38,918
What does that even mean?
201
00:08:39,019 --> 00:08:41,621
Focused on this,
as far as legacy goes,
202
00:08:41,721 --> 00:08:43,490
focused on getting back
what was stolen.
203
00:08:43,590 --> 00:08:45,859
But from what you've told me,
Nick is on a different track.
204
00:08:45,959 --> 00:08:49,529
Okay. A better track, you mean.
205
00:08:50,730 --> 00:08:52,832
Focusing on getting rid
of the danger,
206
00:08:52,932 --> 00:08:54,200
first and foremost.
207
00:08:54,300 --> 00:08:56,436
He's not using this opportunity
to prove a point.
208
00:08:56,536 --> 00:08:58,538
What point?
209
00:08:58,638 --> 00:09:00,573
That Phyllis has something
that is not hers,
210
00:09:00,673 --> 00:09:02,175
or she could give Matt back
211
00:09:02,275 --> 00:09:04,811
but she needs to
stick it to us first?
212
00:09:04,911 --> 00:09:07,914
Matt is trying to murder
Newmans, Adam.
213
00:09:08,014 --> 00:09:10,817
And he's not going to stop.
214
00:09:11,785 --> 00:09:14,487
Even Connor, you know, he's
annoyed by this extra security.
215
00:09:14,587 --> 00:09:16,556
I'm not. I'm grateful for it.
216
00:09:17,857 --> 00:09:19,993
Because what's to stop Matt
from going after him,
217
00:09:20,093 --> 00:09:22,562
another Newman target?
Even now, as we talk,
218
00:09:22,662 --> 00:09:24,464
as we talk in this room,
I'm worried.
219
00:09:24,564 --> 00:09:26,433
Maybe this place is rigged
to blow up too!
220
00:09:26,533 --> 00:09:28,468
Chelsea, no!
That is not happening.
221
00:09:28,568 --> 00:09:30,103
Well, that's where my mind goes
222
00:09:30,203 --> 00:09:32,472
because that's what Matt
has done to me--he's in my head.
223
00:09:32,572 --> 00:09:34,841
Triple that--that's what Nick
is going through right now.
224
00:09:34,941 --> 00:09:36,810
That's what he's dealing with.
So I can understand
225
00:09:36,910 --> 00:09:38,745
why he wants that guy
off the street.
226
00:09:38,845 --> 00:09:40,547
And which will happen.
227
00:09:40,647 --> 00:09:42,582
When, Adam?
228
00:09:42,682 --> 00:09:44,084
Victor's not gonna back down.
229
00:09:44,184 --> 00:09:46,319
Phyllis is not gonna give up.
230
00:09:49,522 --> 00:09:51,391
Nick is gonna take care of this,
231
00:09:51,491 --> 00:09:54,360
and I just hope
nobody gets in his way.
232
00:09:55,328 --> 00:09:57,030
Phyllis might have mentioned
233
00:09:57,130 --> 00:10:00,467
some things that you
might have done, maybe.
234
00:10:00,567 --> 00:10:03,470
-Is that why you called?
-No.
235
00:10:04,737 --> 00:10:08,908
Some morbid curiosity
to meet a monster?
236
00:10:09,008 --> 00:10:13,046
See if all the things that
Phyllis said about me was true?
237
00:10:13,146 --> 00:10:16,249
I really thought that you called
me because you needed a friend.
238
00:10:16,349 --> 00:10:19,018
I did. Patty, hold on a second.
Hold on. Okay, look...
239
00:10:19,119 --> 00:10:21,020
Okay, yes, Phyllis
gave me a very long
240
00:10:21,121 --> 00:10:23,523
and detailed laundry list of
things that you might have done.
241
00:10:23,623 --> 00:10:25,658
But I don't know anything
about anyone, even me--
242
00:10:25,758 --> 00:10:26,993
especially myself.
243
00:10:27,093 --> 00:10:30,730
Look, I-I...honestly,
Phyllis has been great.
244
00:10:30,830 --> 00:10:32,899
But I am freaking out right now.
245
00:10:32,999 --> 00:10:34,767
I mean, my memories are not
exactly flooding back.
246
00:10:34,868 --> 00:10:36,636
I mean, I'm getting little
glimpses here and there,
247
00:10:36,736 --> 00:10:38,605
but I'm really uncomfortable,
and it's like you said.
248
00:10:38,705 --> 00:10:40,807
You have a really high level
of empathy.
249
00:10:40,907 --> 00:10:43,343
You do. And I don't have
any right to ask.
250
00:10:43,443 --> 00:10:45,044
I'm being totally selfish
right now,
251
00:10:45,145 --> 00:10:46,546
but I really could use
a friend right now.
252
00:10:46,646 --> 00:10:48,314
[sighs] All right, well,
that's me.
253
00:10:48,414 --> 00:10:49,415
I don't have anything
to offer in return.
254
00:10:49,516 --> 00:10:50,783
I don't bring anything
to the table.
255
00:10:50,884 --> 00:10:52,852
-Don't sell yourself short.
-I mean, let's be honest.
256
00:10:52,952 --> 00:10:55,688
I'm kinda making a mess
of this whole thing, right?
257
00:10:55,788 --> 00:10:57,557
Ah, it's just because...
258
00:10:57,657 --> 00:11:00,160
Phyllis told you
horrible things about me.
259
00:11:00,260 --> 00:11:02,128
Hey, who am I to judge?
260
00:11:02,228 --> 00:11:03,897
[chuckles]
261
00:11:03,997 --> 00:11:05,832
Let me just be clear.
262
00:11:05,932 --> 00:11:07,367
Okay.
263
00:11:08,301 --> 00:11:10,036
No misunderstanding.
264
00:11:11,337 --> 00:11:13,439
I promise you...
265
00:11:13,540 --> 00:11:16,709
most of what Phyllis told you
is true.
266
00:11:17,844 --> 00:11:20,480
I have been arrested.
I have been committed
267
00:11:20,580 --> 00:11:24,317
to psychiatric facilities.
268
00:11:24,417 --> 00:11:26,186
I've hurt people.
269
00:11:27,453 --> 00:11:30,156
Damaged people hurt people.
270
00:11:30,256 --> 00:11:31,824
Yeah.
271
00:11:31,925 --> 00:11:33,760
But you were released.
272
00:11:33,860 --> 00:11:36,863
Yeah, I got treatment
and I got better.
273
00:11:36,963 --> 00:11:38,431
But the people in this town,
274
00:11:38,531 --> 00:11:40,934
they--they don't seem to
accept it.
275
00:11:42,035 --> 00:11:44,904
They see this image
in their minds and...
276
00:11:45,004 --> 00:11:47,207
they just can't shake it.
277
00:11:47,307 --> 00:11:48,875
Or they don't want to.
278
00:11:48,975 --> 00:11:50,577
You're talking about
the family.
279
00:11:50,677 --> 00:11:53,146
You mentioned them earlier.
Those--those people that...
280
00:11:53,246 --> 00:11:54,814
they have it out for you,
those people?
281
00:11:54,914 --> 00:11:57,016
Yeah, those people.
282
00:11:57,116 --> 00:11:59,953
The way they look at me...
283
00:12:00,053 --> 00:12:02,522
with fear and disgust...
284
00:12:02,622 --> 00:12:06,059
it just pierces
right into your soul.
285
00:12:06,159 --> 00:12:09,429
And there's a part of me that
just wants to run and hide
286
00:12:09,529 --> 00:12:12,298
and there's this other part...
287
00:12:12,398 --> 00:12:15,068
that's kinder...
288
00:12:15,168 --> 00:12:17,237
it's kinder to them and to me.
289
00:12:18,471 --> 00:12:19,973
And, I mean, these poor people,
290
00:12:20,073 --> 00:12:22,375
they shouldn't live in fear
in this town
291
00:12:22,475 --> 00:12:25,545
because of what they think
I might do, or--
292
00:12:25,645 --> 00:12:28,781
And you know what?
I shouldn't live in shame.
293
00:12:28,881 --> 00:12:31,651
And so the best thing...
294
00:12:31,751 --> 00:12:34,187
that I can do to heal
all of us
295
00:12:34,287 --> 00:12:36,623
is to just stick it out.
296
00:12:36,723 --> 00:12:39,292
Be brave.
297
00:12:39,392 --> 00:12:41,861
Because...
298
00:12:41,961 --> 00:12:45,231
I'm just like them.
299
00:12:45,331 --> 00:12:47,533
No better, no worse.
300
00:12:47,634 --> 00:12:50,069
Just human.
301
00:12:51,204 --> 00:12:53,273
Patty, I need you to do
something for me.
302
00:12:53,373 --> 00:12:55,875
Can you do something for me?
303
00:12:55,975 --> 00:12:59,245
Can you swear to me
that you and I have never met?
304
00:13:01,347 --> 00:13:04,050
No. I haven't met you.
305
00:13:04,150 --> 00:13:07,053
You do, right? 'Cause there's
something about everything
306
00:13:07,153 --> 00:13:09,822
that you just said--
I don't--I don't...
307
00:13:09,922 --> 00:13:12,725
I feel like we have a kinship.
308
00:13:12,825 --> 00:13:16,362
I feel like you and I
are kinda the same person.
309
00:13:18,097 --> 00:13:21,401
I have Matt somewhere safe.
He's close by.
310
00:13:21,501 --> 00:13:23,202
-How close?
-How close?
311
00:13:23,303 --> 00:13:25,638
What do you want,
the GPS on him?
312
00:13:25,738 --> 00:13:27,307
He's close.
313
00:13:28,274 --> 00:13:29,876
You just be ready.
314
00:13:29,976 --> 00:13:32,312
I'm gonna be taking him
off your hands real soon.
315
00:13:36,983 --> 00:13:39,385
Christine, hey. Nick Newman.
316
00:13:39,485 --> 00:13:40,920
I'm good, thanks.
317
00:13:41,020 --> 00:13:45,625
Um, listen, I need to see you
in person as soon as possible.
318
00:13:47,527 --> 00:13:48,995
Great.
319
00:13:49,095 --> 00:13:51,864
Great. Okay. I'll see you then.
Bye.
320
00:13:51,964 --> 00:13:54,100
Wow. The Bug just hops to it
321
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:56,669
like the minion she is,
doesn't she?
322
00:13:56,769 --> 00:13:58,771
My father's not the only person
in this town
323
00:13:58,871 --> 00:14:00,573
who delivers on his promises.
324
00:14:01,774 --> 00:14:03,242
I hear you.
325
00:14:03,343 --> 00:14:05,011
And when I make all this happen,
326
00:14:05,111 --> 00:14:06,946
you're gonna live up to
your end of the bargain.
327
00:14:07,046 --> 00:14:11,017
Well, there's still the Victor
part of the equation.
328
00:14:11,117 --> 00:14:13,586
That's gonna be handled too.
329
00:14:13,686 --> 00:14:18,057
All right, well, then, call me
when you have the news, okay?
330
00:14:18,157 --> 00:14:20,360
Oh, I will.
331
00:14:20,460 --> 00:14:22,261
Do not play games with me.
332
00:14:22,362 --> 00:14:24,263
Don't try and screw me over.
333
00:14:24,364 --> 00:14:26,733
Don't play games with me,
all right?
334
00:14:26,833 --> 00:14:29,435
Matt is a means to an end
for me.
335
00:14:29,535 --> 00:14:32,171
I want my freedom.
I want my company.
336
00:14:32,271 --> 00:14:34,207
And then you will get
Matt Clark.
337
00:14:44,250 --> 00:14:45,685
Thank you.
338
00:14:45,785 --> 00:14:49,021
Well, that is quite a statement
that we are so much alike.
339
00:14:49,122 --> 00:14:52,759
Yeah. But what you just said...
you know, the bad things
340
00:14:52,859 --> 00:14:54,560
and the way that
you've hurt people--
341
00:14:54,660 --> 00:14:56,496
I don't know, it's--it's...
342
00:14:56,596 --> 00:14:58,598
it's like I have this feeling
in my gut, but--
343
00:14:58,698 --> 00:15:00,633
it's really hard to explain.
344
00:15:00,733 --> 00:15:03,803
Well, I mean,
do you know what it means?
345
00:15:03,903 --> 00:15:08,641
It means, maybe, that...
that's me...maybe.
346
00:15:09,509 --> 00:15:10,977
I don't know.
347
00:15:11,077 --> 00:15:13,212
Maybe that's why the Newmans
have it in for me.
348
00:15:13,312 --> 00:15:15,381
-But you don't know that.
-I think you're trying to
349
00:15:15,481 --> 00:15:17,150
make me feel better,
and I appreciate that,
350
00:15:17,250 --> 00:15:18,651
but I really need to
figure out who I am.
351
00:15:18,751 --> 00:15:21,487
I don't need to feel better.
I need to figure that out.
352
00:15:21,587 --> 00:15:23,389
Okay, well, I-I...
353
00:15:23,489 --> 00:15:25,625
Look, I'm here to help. Go on.
354
00:15:25,725 --> 00:15:26,926
Okay.
355
00:15:27,026 --> 00:15:29,095
So here's the thing
that I remember.
356
00:15:29,195 --> 00:15:31,030
There's a guy,
and he's looking at me
357
00:15:31,130 --> 00:15:33,132
with pure hatred and rage
in his eyes,
358
00:15:33,232 --> 00:15:35,468
and he's punching me.
359
00:15:36,502 --> 00:15:39,572
Have you ever considered
that maybe...
360
00:15:39,672 --> 00:15:42,074
they're the ones who are
the violent ones and not you?
361
00:15:42,175 --> 00:15:43,643
That's not what this is about.
362
00:15:43,743 --> 00:15:45,945
This is about
why is he like that?
363
00:15:46,045 --> 00:15:48,314
What did I do?
Why does he hate me so much?
364
00:15:48,414 --> 00:15:50,817
'Cause, look,
there's a part of me
365
00:15:50,917 --> 00:15:53,119
that wants to figure that out
so that I can apologize,
366
00:15:53,219 --> 00:15:54,520
so I can try and fix it,
367
00:15:54,620 --> 00:15:56,222
so I can try and make people
hate me less.
368
00:15:56,322 --> 00:15:59,125
Right, because you don't wanna
be out there walking around
369
00:15:59,225 --> 00:16:00,326
with everyone attacking you,
right?
370
00:16:00,426 --> 00:16:02,228
'Cause who does?
But here's the--[laughs]
371
00:16:02,328 --> 00:16:05,731
the other part of it is
is that maybe they're right.
372
00:16:05,832 --> 00:16:10,436
Maybe I'm the worst person
in the whole world.
373
00:16:10,536 --> 00:16:15,274
And--and maybe there's no way
I can ever make amends...
374
00:16:15,374 --> 00:16:17,310
because maybe the things
that I've done
375
00:16:17,410 --> 00:16:20,446
are more horrible
than I can even imagine.
376
00:16:25,852 --> 00:16:29,922
My father is not gonna
let Matt slip away.
377
00:16:30,022 --> 00:16:31,924
So there is no risk.
378
00:16:32,024 --> 00:16:34,727
We're gonna get Newman back,
and we're gonna get Matt.
379
00:16:34,827 --> 00:16:36,429
Are you sure about that?
380
00:16:36,529 --> 00:16:37,797
Completely.
381
00:16:37,897 --> 00:16:40,600
Even though Phyllis is
the other side of the equation?
382
00:16:40,700 --> 00:16:44,670
It's because she is predictable.
383
00:16:44,770 --> 00:16:47,073
No matter what, she's gonna
look out for herself.
384
00:16:47,173 --> 00:16:49,208
She also has
all the leverage, Adam.
385
00:16:49,308 --> 00:16:52,044
It doesn't matter
what she thinks she has.
386
00:16:52,144 --> 00:16:54,847
My dad will always have
more power.
387
00:16:54,947 --> 00:16:56,816
And more determination.
He's gonna make sure
388
00:16:56,916 --> 00:16:58,684
this goes the way
it's supposed to.
389
00:16:58,784 --> 00:17:01,787
And not the way
Nick wants it to.
390
00:17:01,888 --> 00:17:05,358
Nick--Nick is not
thinking straight.
391
00:17:06,792 --> 00:17:08,961
Can I just ask you something?
392
00:17:09,061 --> 00:17:13,299
If a man raped me
decades ago...
393
00:17:13,399 --> 00:17:15,768
terrorized us,
tried to kill our son
394
00:17:15,868 --> 00:17:17,603
and then tried to blow up
our family,
395
00:17:17,703 --> 00:17:19,672
are you telling me
you wouldn't want him dead?
396
00:17:19,772 --> 00:17:21,607
No--you know the answer to that.
397
00:17:21,707 --> 00:17:23,576
But I would also
not risk this family
398
00:17:23,676 --> 00:17:26,212
to deal with him myself.
399
00:17:26,312 --> 00:17:29,582
Well, just 'cause Nick wants to
doesn't mean he's gonna do it.
400
00:17:29,682 --> 00:17:33,286
Chelsea, every second
that Nick is fixated on this,
401
00:17:33,386 --> 00:17:35,755
he's not getting
addiction treatment.
402
00:17:37,490 --> 00:17:39,225
Oh.
403
00:17:39,325 --> 00:17:43,095
That's what has you so worried.
Nick is avoiding getting help.
404
00:17:43,195 --> 00:17:45,865
Well, why? Why is he
avoiding getting help?
405
00:17:45,965 --> 00:17:49,669
Because, um, having fentanyl
in his system feels good.
406
00:17:50,770 --> 00:17:53,506
Or it feels...different.
407
00:17:53,606 --> 00:17:57,944
Or maybe it's a relief to not be
"the good son" for a while.
408
00:17:58,044 --> 00:18:00,746
Or maybe he finally realized
there's something in his life
409
00:18:00,846 --> 00:18:04,050
that he's afraid
that he cannot beat.
410
00:18:04,150 --> 00:18:08,154
My point is Nick is still using,
and I'm sure of it.
411
00:18:08,254 --> 00:18:11,324
And I don't know when
it's gonna stop.
412
00:18:22,501 --> 00:18:23,402
Hey.
413
00:18:23,502 --> 00:18:26,372
Hey. Thanks for coming.
414
00:18:26,472 --> 00:18:28,274
Yeah. The Newman case
is a priority,
415
00:18:28,374 --> 00:18:29,976
so if you have
any new evidence,
416
00:18:30,076 --> 00:18:31,410
I look forward to hearing it.
417
00:18:31,510 --> 00:18:36,482
Oh, yeah, I, uh, I don't have
anything like that for you.
418
00:18:36,582 --> 00:18:39,051
[huffs] So what's this about?
419
00:18:39,151 --> 00:18:44,190
What would it take to get the
charges against Phyllis dropped?
420
00:19:05,645 --> 00:19:07,546
-Oh--
-Looking for someone?
421
00:19:08,848 --> 00:19:12,385
What? No! No. I mean, y--no!
422
00:19:12,485 --> 00:19:15,254
Uh, well, someone to--
to work the coffee machine.
423
00:19:15,354 --> 00:19:17,590
I mean, because...
424
00:19:17,690 --> 00:19:19,692
I want a latte.
425
00:19:19,792 --> 00:19:22,828
So more coffee?
426
00:19:22,928 --> 00:19:26,565
Well, yeah. Isn't that
what you guys do here?
427
00:19:26,666 --> 00:19:29,902
I'm just saying you already got
coffee and pastries earlier.
428
00:19:31,070 --> 00:19:33,406
That's weird. I mean, what,
do you have cameras here?
429
00:19:33,506 --> 00:19:36,308
Y-you stalking your customers?
430
00:19:36,409 --> 00:19:40,046
That is just weird
and very unnecessary.
431
00:19:40,146 --> 00:19:42,181
Oh, please, Phyllis.
432
00:19:42,281 --> 00:19:45,918
Esther told me
you got two coffees earlier.
433
00:19:46,018 --> 00:19:48,154
Esther. Why's Esther care?
434
00:19:48,254 --> 00:19:50,723
She thought it was odd.
435
00:19:50,823 --> 00:19:53,659
Since you don't have very many
friends left in this town.
436
00:19:55,161 --> 00:19:56,462
That is deeply hurtful.
437
00:19:56,562 --> 00:19:58,464
Well, Esther's harmless.
438
00:19:58,564 --> 00:20:01,600
Yeah, but you repeated it
to me, okay?
439
00:20:01,701 --> 00:20:04,470
I mean...and I-I know why.
440
00:20:04,570 --> 00:20:08,307
Because you're trying to get me
to reassess my actions
441
00:20:08,407 --> 00:20:10,943
so people like me, and
I'm not doing that--no way.
442
00:20:11,043 --> 00:20:15,047
No. I said it because
I wanted you to feel bad
443
00:20:15,147 --> 00:20:18,217
[shouting]
for buying Matt coffee!
444
00:20:18,317 --> 00:20:19,985
-Shh.
-It was for him, wasn't it?
445
00:20:20,086 --> 00:20:22,154
No, it wasn't.
446
00:20:23,556 --> 00:20:24,924
It's for Lauren.
447
00:20:25,024 --> 00:20:27,860
She is my colleague
and she is my friend.
448
00:20:29,595 --> 00:20:32,364
You're lying. It was for Matt.
449
00:20:32,465 --> 00:20:34,033
Nick told Noah and me
450
00:20:34,133 --> 00:20:36,335
that you've got Matt
stashed away somewhere
451
00:20:36,435 --> 00:20:38,637
and you're using him
as a bargaining chip!
452
00:20:38,738 --> 00:20:43,442
[sighs] Phyllis,
you were once Nick's wife.
453
00:20:43,542 --> 00:20:45,845
You were Noah's stepmom.
454
00:20:45,945 --> 00:20:49,315
A-and me--you were my friend!
455
00:20:49,415 --> 00:20:51,016
And now you're harboring
this man
456
00:20:51,117 --> 00:20:52,752
who tried to destroy us all.
457
00:20:52,852 --> 00:20:54,887
You're exploiting him
for your own personal gain
458
00:20:54,987 --> 00:20:56,856
when you should be staying
far away from him.
459
00:20:56,956 --> 00:20:58,624
You know what it means
to be terrorized
460
00:20:58,724 --> 00:21:00,593
by a man who's enjoying
your fear.
461
00:21:00,693 --> 00:21:02,394
Well, that's who Matt is
to my family,
462
00:21:02,495 --> 00:21:04,930
and you're buying him coffee
and croissants.
463
00:21:06,499 --> 00:21:09,001
I'm not gonna do this with you.
I'm not gonna do this with you.
464
00:21:09,101 --> 00:21:11,103
Yes, you are.
465
00:21:11,203 --> 00:21:13,639
Yes, you are,
because you owe me!
466
00:21:13,739 --> 00:21:17,543
I owe you? I do not!
H-how's that?
467
00:21:17,643 --> 00:21:20,112
From the clinic!
468
00:21:20,212 --> 00:21:22,915
No, no. No, no, no, Sharon.
469
00:21:23,015 --> 00:21:26,485
I saved your life.
You saved my life.
470
00:21:26,585 --> 00:21:28,854
Nobody owes anybody anything.
471
00:21:28,954 --> 00:21:30,890
[quietly]
You know, at the clinic,
472
00:21:30,990 --> 00:21:34,627
we decided to drop
all of the other garbage
473
00:21:34,727 --> 00:21:36,729
and just accept the fact
474
00:21:36,829 --> 00:21:39,799
that we were going to be
connected forever.
475
00:21:42,101 --> 00:21:44,136
You know, I'm gonna get
my latte somewhere else.
476
00:21:44,236 --> 00:21:46,672
I can't have Matt out there.
Phyllis.
477
00:21:46,772 --> 00:21:50,276
The fear...is exhausting.
478
00:21:50,376 --> 00:21:54,280
The idea that he could
hurt Nick or hurt Noah...
479
00:21:55,748 --> 00:21:58,083
And you can put an end
to it all.
480
00:21:58,184 --> 00:21:59,752
So please...
481
00:21:59,852 --> 00:22:02,788
please, Phyllis,
do the right thing.
482
00:22:11,096 --> 00:22:12,765
Did Summer ask you to do this?
483
00:22:12,865 --> 00:22:15,067
Because I don't think Daniel
would put you up to it.
484
00:22:15,167 --> 00:22:16,569
He'd come to me directly.
485
00:22:16,669 --> 00:22:20,206
No. No, this has nothing to do
with either one of them.
486
00:22:20,306 --> 00:22:22,775
Well, Nick, you're not giving me
much to go on,
487
00:22:22,875 --> 00:22:25,411
and you're not giving me
a reason to drop the charges.
488
00:22:25,511 --> 00:22:26,946
Does Victor know about this?
489
00:22:27,046 --> 00:22:29,448
No. This is just between
you and me.
490
00:22:29,548 --> 00:22:31,584
Well, he's the primary
victim here.
491
00:22:31,684 --> 00:22:36,222
It's about his life's work
and a very serious crime.
492
00:22:36,322 --> 00:22:39,592
And it's within my jurisdiction
to prosecute.
493
00:22:39,692 --> 00:22:42,261
Phyllis and Cane
earned the charges.
494
00:22:42,361 --> 00:22:45,030
Cane is a completely separate
issue.
495
00:22:45,130 --> 00:22:47,499
I don't give a damn about him.
You do whatever you want.
496
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:49,935
But dropping the charges
against Phyllis
497
00:22:50,035 --> 00:22:51,971
will be very beneficial
to this family.
498
00:22:52,071 --> 00:22:54,840
-I don't see how.
-Look, I know...
499
00:22:54,940 --> 00:22:57,409
because of your history with
Phyllis how important this is--
500
00:22:57,509 --> 00:22:59,879
Nick, I take my job
as an officer of the court
501
00:22:59,979 --> 00:23:01,447
very seriously.
502
00:23:01,547 --> 00:23:06,218
Bottom line is, someone with
no role at Newman Enterprises
503
00:23:06,318 --> 00:23:08,254
took this massive corporation.
504
00:23:08,354 --> 00:23:11,290
They slapped their name on it
and committed fraud.
505
00:23:11,390 --> 00:23:14,159
The DA's office has extensive
evidence to prove that.
506
00:23:14,260 --> 00:23:16,428
So unless you can give me
a hell of a good reason
507
00:23:16,528 --> 00:23:19,031
why I should ignore those facts,
then...
508
00:23:19,131 --> 00:23:21,066
How about
a violent career criminal
509
00:23:21,166 --> 00:23:22,968
who's currently
walking the streets,
510
00:23:23,068 --> 00:23:26,272
ready to unleash hell
on anyone who gets in his way?
511
00:23:26,372 --> 00:23:28,374
Would that be very interesting
to you?
512
00:23:28,474 --> 00:23:30,009
Who are you talking about?
513
00:23:30,109 --> 00:23:32,811
Matt Clark.
514
00:23:32,912 --> 00:23:36,048
What a kind, mature
perspective, Matt.
515
00:23:36,148 --> 00:23:39,752
I mean, that shows
no matter who you are
516
00:23:39,852 --> 00:23:42,988
that you have a generous spirit,
and that we do have in common.
517
00:23:43,088 --> 00:23:45,524
But, uh, to go directly
over to the Newmans'?
518
00:23:45,624 --> 00:23:47,559
Uh-uh. That's a risky move.
519
00:23:47,660 --> 00:23:49,094
If it'll help me figure out
who I am,
520
00:23:49,194 --> 00:23:50,496
I'm willing to take that risk.
521
00:23:50,596 --> 00:23:52,765
And you're not afraid
of what you might learn?
522
00:23:52,865 --> 00:23:55,901
Patty, this is a sample loop
from my brain, okay?
523
00:23:56,001 --> 00:23:58,103
Do I have a wife?
Does my wife love me?
524
00:23:58,203 --> 00:23:59,972
Do I love my wife?
Does my wife hate me?
525
00:24:00,072 --> 00:24:02,041
Do I hate my wife?
Is my wife dead?
526
00:24:02,141 --> 00:24:05,044
Am I wearing a wedding band
in remembrance of a woman
527
00:24:05,144 --> 00:24:06,745
who I don't even remember?
528
00:24:06,845 --> 00:24:08,547
Do I have a family?
Do I have siblings?
529
00:24:08,647 --> 00:24:11,383
Do I have any friends,
or am I...
530
00:24:11,483 --> 00:24:13,585
-Are you what?
-Am I a guy
531
00:24:13,686 --> 00:24:17,056
who doesn't have anything?
Am I a man who has no one?
532
00:24:17,156 --> 00:24:19,124
All right. You are...
533
00:24:19,224 --> 00:24:21,493
very confused, in fear,
534
00:24:21,593 --> 00:24:23,495
and you need some answers.
535
00:24:23,595 --> 00:24:25,431
Yeah.
536
00:24:25,531 --> 00:24:27,366
I don't know what to do.
537
00:24:27,466 --> 00:24:30,302
Well, I mean, you definitely
have to retrieve your memories.
538
00:24:30,402 --> 00:24:32,371
-Yeah. That's what Phyllis says.
-Oh, okay.
539
00:24:32,471 --> 00:24:35,074
You--you cannot trust
anything she says.
540
00:24:35,174 --> 00:24:37,042
Well, she says I shouldn't
trust you either.
541
00:24:37,142 --> 00:24:38,610
Maybe neither one of you
should trust me.
542
00:24:38,711 --> 00:24:40,212
Here's what I know for sure,
okay?
543
00:24:40,312 --> 00:24:41,647
I cannot live like this.
544
00:24:41,747 --> 00:24:44,917
Living like this
is no life at all.
545
00:24:45,784 --> 00:24:47,820
You may think that Matt
is harmless.
546
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:50,289
You may think that you have it
under complete control.
547
00:24:50,389 --> 00:24:52,491
-Who says I have him?
-Oh, please.
548
00:24:52,591 --> 00:24:54,093
-Don't insult me--
-I hear he has amnesia.
549
00:24:54,193 --> 00:24:55,427
-Really?
-Yeah.
550
00:24:55,527 --> 00:24:56,628
Did you also know
551
00:24:56,729 --> 00:24:58,797
that he was presumed dead
for 20 years?
552
00:24:58,897 --> 00:25:01,133
Did you know that he was
going by the name Mitch?
553
00:25:01,233 --> 00:25:03,302
Yeah, the man lies
like he breathes.
554
00:25:03,402 --> 00:25:04,670
And because you think you can
555
00:25:04,770 --> 00:25:06,271
get something
out of the situation,
556
00:25:06,372 --> 00:25:08,874
you're ignoring the facts.
He is evil.
557
00:25:08,974 --> 00:25:10,642
Everything about him.
558
00:25:10,743 --> 00:25:14,646
He enjoys inflicting pain.
559
00:25:14,747 --> 00:25:17,383
And you might be next.
560
00:25:20,819 --> 00:25:23,756
-My back is against the wall.
-[gasps]
561
00:25:23,856 --> 00:25:26,725
-Has Matt threatened you?
-No, Victor's threatening me.
562
00:25:26,825 --> 00:25:29,862
He's threatening to take
my company away from me.
563
00:25:29,962 --> 00:25:31,764
That isn't yours, Phyllis.
564
00:25:31,864 --> 00:25:34,600
And the fact that you would
protect this monster
565
00:25:34,700 --> 00:25:36,568
to keep what you stole...
566
00:25:36,668 --> 00:25:41,073
He doesn't even know who he is.
He doesn't know who you are.
567
00:25:41,173 --> 00:25:43,876
Is that what he told you?
And you bought it?
568
00:25:45,277 --> 00:25:47,546
He's playing you.
569
00:25:47,646 --> 00:25:50,983
But you're letting him,
even though you know better,
570
00:25:51,083 --> 00:25:54,219
because your need for a trophy
571
00:25:54,319 --> 00:25:56,522
matters more than anything else.
572
00:25:56,622 --> 00:25:58,057
That is not true.
573
00:25:58,157 --> 00:26:01,760
Summers Conglomerate
is not a trophy to me.
574
00:26:01,860 --> 00:26:04,930
It is my empire.
It is my legacy.
575
00:26:06,198 --> 00:26:09,568
How sad and small for you,
Phyllis.
576
00:26:09,668 --> 00:26:13,305
If you would hang your legacy
on the devil...
577
00:26:14,540 --> 00:26:17,543
...then you're not the person
I thought you were.
578
00:26:22,181 --> 00:26:24,049
Nick's been back long enough
to start the program
579
00:26:24,149 --> 00:26:26,885
-Sharon recommended.
-But he hasn't started?
580
00:26:26,985 --> 00:26:28,587
No. He acts like he's on it,
581
00:26:28,687 --> 00:26:30,689
but I don't think
he's done a damn thing.
582
00:26:31,824 --> 00:26:34,026
Because of Matt.
583
00:26:34,126 --> 00:26:37,362
Nick thinks he's the only one
who can handle him.
584
00:26:37,463 --> 00:26:39,598
I mean, I understand why, but--
585
00:26:39,698 --> 00:26:41,366
Yeah, well, meanwhile,
Nick is spiraling.
586
00:26:41,467 --> 00:26:43,135
I mean, he can say that
he's detoxing,
587
00:26:43,235 --> 00:26:47,039
but when I look at him, that is
not what cold turkey looks like.
588
00:26:47,139 --> 00:26:50,342
Which means he's still using,
and he's lying about using.
589
00:26:50,442 --> 00:26:52,177
And then the shame kicks in
590
00:26:52,277 --> 00:26:54,246
and then you definitely
don't wanna admit anything.
591
00:26:54,346 --> 00:26:56,415
And then there's this defiance
like, "Screw you.
592
00:26:56,515 --> 00:26:59,218
"I can handle this, and I'm not
gonna tell you the truth,
593
00:26:59,318 --> 00:27:00,719
"because you wouldn't
understand,
594
00:27:00,819 --> 00:27:02,554
"and I have a bigger
purpose here.
595
00:27:02,654 --> 00:27:04,690
Only I can handle Matt."
596
00:27:04,790 --> 00:27:06,792
This has all been running around
in your head,
597
00:27:06,892 --> 00:27:09,661
and I didn't realize.
I'm sorry.
598
00:27:09,761 --> 00:27:11,330
Because I knew
if I talked about it,
599
00:27:11,430 --> 00:27:13,765
it'd make me even more nuts.
600
00:27:13,866 --> 00:27:15,801
Phyllis is exploiting Matt
to get what she wants
601
00:27:15,901 --> 00:27:19,104
and Nick is using the situation
to avoid treatment.
602
00:27:19,204 --> 00:27:21,340
I mean, he's not
thinking straight.
603
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:23,909
He should not be making deals
and plotting revenge.
604
00:27:24,009 --> 00:27:26,512
He needs to deal with
the fentanyl first.
605
00:27:26,612 --> 00:27:29,281
And if he keeps lying
606
00:27:29,381 --> 00:27:31,483
and covering and using...
607
00:27:31,583 --> 00:27:34,052
this whole thing could just
spiral out of control
608
00:27:34,153 --> 00:27:36,255
in the worst way possible.
609
00:27:41,059 --> 00:27:43,762
The fact that this guy was let
off for his crimes out in LA
610
00:27:43,862 --> 00:27:45,464
is absolutely insane.
611
00:27:45,564 --> 00:27:48,667
I'm talking drug trafficking,
kidnapping, attempted murder.
612
00:27:48,767 --> 00:27:51,370
He's one violent crime
after another.
613
00:27:51,470 --> 00:27:52,771
They did bring charges
against him
614
00:27:52,871 --> 00:27:54,706
for trying to blow us all up
out in Las Vegas.
615
00:27:54,806 --> 00:27:57,176
-Yeah, I'm aware.
-You are?
616
00:27:57,276 --> 00:28:00,212
Yeah, the Feds were brought in
because of drug trafficking.
617
00:28:00,312 --> 00:28:02,147
Genoa City's his last known
location,
618
00:28:02,247 --> 00:28:03,982
and I was alerted
to the warrant.
619
00:28:04,082 --> 00:28:06,685
This is your chance
to get him off the streets,
620
00:28:06,785 --> 00:28:08,854
do what the other prosecutors
couldn't.
621
00:28:08,954 --> 00:28:10,589
This is a win for you,
Christine,
622
00:28:10,689 --> 00:28:12,090
and for the rest of the world.
623
00:28:12,191 --> 00:28:13,592
And I know he's a monster.
624
00:28:13,692 --> 00:28:16,328
I will do everything I can
to bring him to justice.
625
00:28:16,428 --> 00:28:18,263
He keeps getting away
with all this stuff
626
00:28:18,363 --> 00:28:20,832
because he's always
one step ahead of everyone.
627
00:28:20,933 --> 00:28:22,334
But this is your moment,
628
00:28:22,434 --> 00:28:24,670
a chance where you can get
the jump on him.
629
00:28:24,770 --> 00:28:26,972
With your help.
630
00:28:27,072 --> 00:28:28,740
Okay, but why not both?
631
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:30,342
Why offer Matt in exchange
632
00:28:30,442 --> 00:28:32,744
for letting Phyllis continue
to steal from you all?
633
00:28:32,844 --> 00:28:34,680
Why not bring them both
to justice?
634
00:28:34,780 --> 00:28:37,583
Doesn't your family
deserve that?
635
00:28:45,457 --> 00:28:46,792
How did it happen?
636
00:28:46,892 --> 00:28:49,461
How is it possible that the only
two people in the world
637
00:28:49,561 --> 00:28:51,530
who know who I am,
who I can talk to,
638
00:28:51,630 --> 00:28:53,699
hate each other so much
that if I trust one of them,
639
00:28:53,799 --> 00:28:55,200
then I'm offending
the other one?
640
00:28:55,300 --> 00:28:57,169
Not even offending, like worse
than that, like betraying?
641
00:28:57,269 --> 00:29:00,472
And why is it that it feels like
it might be okay with me?
642
00:29:00,572 --> 00:29:02,608
Is that just how I roll?
And is that why people,
643
00:29:02,708 --> 00:29:04,876
like random strangers wanna just
come punch me in the face?
644
00:29:04,977 --> 00:29:07,112
'Cause I'm a two-faced
son of a bitch? Is that why?
645
00:29:07,212 --> 00:29:11,383
You may feel stuck, but that's
what Phyllis wants you to feel.
646
00:29:11,483 --> 00:29:13,352
To depend on her.
647
00:29:13,452 --> 00:29:17,189
I mean, but why? I mean, doesn't
that sound strange to you?
648
00:29:17,289 --> 00:29:19,791
Yeah, strange is a relative term
for someone like me
649
00:29:19,891 --> 00:29:21,793
in my situation.
It's all a little strange.
650
00:29:21,893 --> 00:29:25,130
All right, all right, so did
Phyllis happen to mention
651
00:29:25,230 --> 00:29:27,499
that, uh,
652
00:29:27,599 --> 00:29:30,369
this young man Noah, uh,
653
00:29:30,469 --> 00:29:34,406
you know, she, uh,
was once his stepmother?
654
00:29:34,506 --> 00:29:36,708
-What?
-Yeah. She was married,
655
00:29:36,808 --> 00:29:39,911
many years ago, to Nick Newman.
656
00:29:40,012 --> 00:29:42,848
They have a Newman daughter,
Summer.
657
00:29:42,948 --> 00:29:45,617
-It didn't come up. No.
-No.
658
00:29:45,717 --> 00:29:48,587
Okay. So whatever the Newmans
have against you,
659
00:29:48,687 --> 00:29:50,389
she knows exactly what it is.
660
00:29:50,489 --> 00:29:51,723
Look at you.
661
00:29:51,823 --> 00:29:53,659
You're open, you're kind,
662
00:29:53,759 --> 00:29:55,560
you're just trying to
figure out the answers,
663
00:29:55,661 --> 00:29:58,463
and she is withholding
that information.
664
00:29:58,563 --> 00:30:01,400
Which--which means...
do you know what that means?
665
00:30:01,500 --> 00:30:05,604
It means that she knows
exactly who you are.
666
00:30:05,704 --> 00:30:08,206
And she's been keeping you
alone, confused,
667
00:30:08,307 --> 00:30:09,441
and in the dark.
668
00:30:09,541 --> 00:30:12,577
No. Nah, there's gotta be
another explanation.
669
00:30:12,678 --> 00:30:14,212
Oh. Oh, there is.
670
00:30:14,313 --> 00:30:16,915
She's not your friend, Matt.
671
00:30:17,015 --> 00:30:19,584
She's--she's leading you on,
672
00:30:19,685 --> 00:30:22,020
and she's setting you up.
673
00:30:24,623 --> 00:30:26,491
You know, this is really
unfair, Sharon.
674
00:30:26,591 --> 00:30:28,060
How am I responsible
675
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:32,130
for all of Matt Clark's
crimes against your family?
676
00:30:32,230 --> 00:30:35,133
I mean,
'cause that's how it sounds.
677
00:30:35,233 --> 00:30:37,502
That you're blaming me
for Matt Clark
678
00:30:37,602 --> 00:30:39,571
and being the way he is,
you know?
679
00:30:39,671 --> 00:30:41,740
Well, you can make him
face justice.
680
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:44,743
Haven't you thought that maybe
I'm trying to do that?
681
00:30:44,843 --> 00:30:46,511
Maybe I'm trying to.
682
00:30:46,611 --> 00:30:48,246
I wanna hand him over to you.
683
00:30:48,347 --> 00:30:50,382
I wanna end your pain.
684
00:30:50,482 --> 00:30:53,018
But, my God, don't I deserve
to end my own pain?
685
00:30:53,118 --> 00:30:55,053
Don't I deserve to get out
from under the sword
686
00:30:55,153 --> 00:30:57,956
that Victor has on my neck?
Don't I deserve that?
687
00:30:58,056 --> 00:31:01,493
He has been trying to crush me
and my family for decades
688
00:31:01,593 --> 00:31:03,095
with no reason!
689
00:31:03,195 --> 00:31:05,230
-You provoked Victor.
-No! No!
690
00:31:05,330 --> 00:31:07,032
No, Victor provoked me.
691
00:31:07,132 --> 00:31:09,501
I'm trying to get justice.
I'm trying to get justice
692
00:31:09,601 --> 00:31:11,036
for everybody in this town.
693
00:31:11,136 --> 00:31:13,238
You know what?
I'm not backing down.
694
00:31:19,077 --> 00:31:20,779
ADAM: Hey.
695
00:31:20,879 --> 00:31:22,681
Any word from Nick?
696
00:31:24,716 --> 00:31:26,785
No, not recently.
697
00:31:27,886 --> 00:31:29,588
-Anything wrong?
-No, nothing.
698
00:31:29,688 --> 00:31:32,257
Just hoping for news.
699
00:31:32,357 --> 00:31:35,293
I don't have a good feeling
about Nick right now.
700
00:31:35,394 --> 00:31:37,929
You mean because he wants to
deal with Matt Clark himself?
701
00:31:38,029 --> 00:31:41,867
That and how he plans
to get to that point.
702
00:31:41,967 --> 00:31:44,236
I mean, he's on edge.
He's strung out.
703
00:31:44,336 --> 00:31:45,604
And I have this gut feeling
704
00:31:45,704 --> 00:31:48,507
that he's gonna try to negotiate
with Phyllis on his own.
705
00:31:48,607 --> 00:31:49,841
Meaning what?
706
00:31:49,941 --> 00:31:52,210
Meaning that he will agree
to whatever she wants
707
00:31:52,310 --> 00:31:54,513
just so he can get his hands
on Matt.
708
00:31:54,613 --> 00:31:57,249
And if Phyllis gives him Matt
and nothing else,
709
00:31:57,349 --> 00:32:00,919
we may never get Newman back.
710
00:32:08,860 --> 00:32:10,028
You know...
711
00:32:10,128 --> 00:32:13,098
you have these wounds, Phyllis,
712
00:32:13,198 --> 00:32:16,101
like, they go deep,
713
00:32:16,201 --> 00:32:18,603
straight to your core.
714
00:32:18,703 --> 00:32:20,539
But I understand. I do.
715
00:32:20,639 --> 00:32:23,074
Oh, yeah, sure. It really
seems like you understand.
716
00:32:23,175 --> 00:32:25,010
Yeah, because I have
my own wounds along with
717
00:32:25,110 --> 00:32:26,878
my body and mind screaming
for the world
718
00:32:26,978 --> 00:32:28,280
to give my family a break.
719
00:32:28,380 --> 00:32:30,148
Yeah, I just want...
720
00:32:30,248 --> 00:32:32,751
I want everybody here
to leave me the hell alone.
721
00:32:32,851 --> 00:32:36,354
But the way you're
going about it, though...
722
00:32:36,455 --> 00:32:39,124
don't you miss Daniel
and Summer?
723
00:32:39,224 --> 00:32:41,493
Don't you miss having Nick
on your side
724
00:32:41,593 --> 00:32:44,796
as someone that you can
count on? As co-parents,
725
00:32:44,896 --> 00:32:47,666
you do want what's best
for each other, right?
726
00:32:47,766 --> 00:32:50,969
And then there's me.
Don't you miss our friendship?
727
00:32:51,069 --> 00:32:53,138
Because I do. I mean...
728
00:32:53,238 --> 00:32:55,207
Martin deserves to rot in hell,
yeah,
729
00:32:55,307 --> 00:32:57,542
but the connection that we made
in the clinic--
730
00:32:57,642 --> 00:33:00,145
it really healed
some old hurts for me.
731
00:33:00,245 --> 00:33:03,014
Everyone turned their back
on me, Sharon.
732
00:33:03,114 --> 00:33:04,549
Not the other way around.
733
00:33:04,649 --> 00:33:07,819
So you...rely on Matt,
734
00:33:07,919 --> 00:33:11,389
a manipulator, a liar who
enjoys tormenting people?
735
00:33:11,490 --> 00:33:13,592
Because every cell in his body
is programmed
736
00:33:13,692 --> 00:33:15,660
to inflict harm.
737
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:19,564
And if you are the only person
he has access to...
738
00:33:19,664 --> 00:33:22,901
you will be the one
that he hurts next.
739
00:33:24,970 --> 00:33:27,138
You think Phyllis
knows who I am,
740
00:33:27,239 --> 00:33:29,608
but she's pretending not to?
741
00:33:29,708 --> 00:33:32,043
No way.
There's no way that's true.
742
00:33:32,143 --> 00:33:33,745
Also, I think I'd know.
743
00:33:33,845 --> 00:33:36,081
I think I have better
instincts than that.
744
00:33:36,181 --> 00:33:39,684
Oh. When you're in a state
of heightened anxiety,
745
00:33:39,784 --> 00:33:41,286
things just don't make sense.
746
00:33:41,386 --> 00:33:44,589
You know, I-I learned that
in my treatment.
747
00:33:44,689 --> 00:33:46,691
I mean,
that's how I got better.
748
00:33:46,791 --> 00:33:50,061
Phyllis is so free
and straightforward
749
00:33:50,161 --> 00:33:51,796
and she's so comfortable
with herself.
750
00:33:51,897 --> 00:33:54,733
I just don't see someone
like that lying to me
751
00:33:54,833 --> 00:33:56,668
or trying to set me up.
752
00:33:56,768 --> 00:34:01,206
Or that's simply how good she is
at what she does.
753
00:34:02,507 --> 00:34:05,310
Gaining trust
to exploit weakness.
754
00:34:05,410 --> 00:34:08,346
When a man doesn't know why
755
00:34:08,446 --> 00:34:10,515
the Newmans hate him...
756
00:34:10,615 --> 00:34:13,285
that's--that's a definite
weakness.
757
00:34:13,385 --> 00:34:15,453
All of the things
that I wonder about myself--
758
00:34:15,554 --> 00:34:17,956
I never even considered
that I might be a sucker.
759
00:34:18,056 --> 00:34:20,125
Hey, you know what?
760
00:34:21,626 --> 00:34:23,461
Just leave it alone for now,
761
00:34:23,562 --> 00:34:26,364
and--and I will take care of it.
762
00:34:26,464 --> 00:34:29,868
Then at least
you'll always know that...
763
00:34:29,968 --> 00:34:32,938
someone will have your back.
[giggles]
764
00:34:34,940 --> 00:34:38,476
I honestly think Nicholas knows
better than to trust Phyllis.
765
00:34:38,577 --> 00:34:41,079
In theory, maybe.
766
00:34:41,179 --> 00:34:43,014
But he's not thinking straight.
767
00:34:43,114 --> 00:34:46,751
He's gotten too close to getting
Matt out of his life for good.
768
00:34:46,851 --> 00:34:50,221
And the son of a bitch
just keeps coming around.
769
00:34:50,322 --> 00:34:54,292
So between his endless
supply of rage
770
00:34:54,392 --> 00:34:56,995
and the other things
that are going on, it just...
771
00:34:58,463 --> 00:35:01,800
I think your brother
needs treatment.
772
00:35:01,900 --> 00:35:03,668
Yep.
773
00:35:06,237 --> 00:35:09,207
-You calling Nick?
-No. I'm gonna call Phyllis.
774
00:35:09,307 --> 00:35:11,376
To force the issue?
775
00:35:11,476 --> 00:35:14,579
Well, before he
gives her an easy out.
776
00:35:16,514 --> 00:35:18,617
You wanna let Phyllis
off the hook?
777
00:35:18,717 --> 00:35:22,654
I wanna nail a violent criminal
who is a danger to the public.
778
00:35:22,754 --> 00:35:24,422
If she's not challenged legally,
779
00:35:24,522 --> 00:35:26,091
she's gonna keep
Newman Enterprises.
780
00:35:26,191 --> 00:35:28,593
I'm not worried about that
right now.
781
00:35:28,693 --> 00:35:30,328
How can you have
a soft spot for her
782
00:35:30,428 --> 00:35:31,863
with everything you know?
783
00:35:31,963 --> 00:35:33,865
Christine,
you say you're doing your job
784
00:35:33,965 --> 00:35:36,001
and it's nothing personal,
so what do you say
785
00:35:36,101 --> 00:35:39,671
we stop talking about Phyllis
and start focusing on Matt?
786
00:35:39,771 --> 00:35:41,740
Okay. [scoffs]
787
00:35:44,009 --> 00:35:46,044
Where is Matt?
788
00:35:47,779 --> 00:35:50,615
Wait. You don't know, do you?
789
00:35:51,950 --> 00:35:54,819
But Phyllis does.
790
00:35:54,919 --> 00:35:58,790
She'll give you Matt
if you make this deal with me.
791
00:35:58,890 --> 00:36:00,825
You're letting her extort you?
792
00:36:00,925 --> 00:36:04,329
What the hell is wrong
with you, Nick?
793
