1
00:00:10,862 --> 00:00:12,310
- Oh, Sally.
- Victoria, hi.
2
00:00:12,413 --> 00:00:14,862
Uh, Sally, um...
3
00:00:14,965 --> 00:00:17,172
you know, I really haven't had
a chance
4
00:00:17,275 --> 00:00:18,931
to talk to you since, um,
5
00:00:19,034 --> 00:00:20,827
since all of your big news,
and...
6
00:00:21,965 --> 00:00:23,689
Yeah. I'm really sorry
7
00:00:23,793 --> 00:00:26,000
for the way we sprung that
on you.
8
00:00:26,103 --> 00:00:27,758
Oh, no, no, not at all.
9
00:00:27,862 --> 00:00:29,344
Um, you know the kids.
10
00:00:29,448 --> 00:00:30,793
They're so excited about the
wedding
11
00:00:30,896 --> 00:00:32,551
and the baby.
12
00:00:32,655 --> 00:00:34,103
They're very sweet, yeah.
13
00:00:34,206 --> 00:00:35,689
I'm sure it's a lot for them
14
00:00:35,793 --> 00:00:36,862
to wrap their head around,
15
00:00:36,965 --> 00:00:39,275
especially with the new sibling.
16
00:00:40,413 --> 00:00:42,965
Well, um, I apologize in
advance
17
00:00:43,068 --> 00:00:45,586
for any tricks they might teach
their new brother
18
00:00:45,689 --> 00:00:46,793
- or sister.
- Yeah.
19
00:00:46,896 --> 00:00:48,000
I definitely will be ready.
20
00:00:48,103 --> 00:00:49,310
I know they learned from
the best.
21
00:00:49,413 --> 00:00:50,758
- Billy.
- Billy. Yeah.
22
00:00:52,689 --> 00:00:54,793
So how are you feeling?
23
00:00:54,896 --> 00:00:56,379
Good. Yeah.
24
00:00:56,482 --> 00:00:57,862
Better.
25
00:00:57,965 --> 00:01:00,206
The morning sickness was not
fun,
26
00:01:00,310 --> 00:01:03,551
but it's definitely calmed down.
27
00:01:03,655 --> 00:01:05,620
And, uh, yeah, I can't...
28
00:01:05,724 --> 00:01:07,517
button my jeans anymore, so...
29
00:01:07,620 --> 00:01:09,379
Oh, yeah.
30
00:01:09,482 --> 00:01:11,275
Always a fun sign.
31
00:01:12,689 --> 00:01:14,206
Look, um...
32
00:01:14,310 --> 00:01:16,344
I understand how scary
it can be, you know,
33
00:01:16,448 --> 00:01:18,931
being pregnant after a loss,
and...
34
00:01:19,034 --> 00:01:22,689
just remember every pregnancy
is different, so...
35
00:01:22,793 --> 00:01:25,965
you deserve to enjoy
every minute of it.
36
00:01:26,068 --> 00:01:28,413
Thank you for saying that.
37
00:01:28,517 --> 00:01:31,758
I...yeah, the panic has
died down,
38
00:01:31,862 --> 00:01:33,827
but I can always use
a reminder.
39
00:01:34,793 --> 00:01:36,517
Anytime.
40
00:01:39,862 --> 00:01:41,448
Since you're being so lovely,
41
00:01:41,551 --> 00:01:44,862
I really hope that this
isn't crossing a line, but...
42
00:01:44,965 --> 00:01:47,827
now that the Newmans
have gotten their company back,
43
00:01:47,931 --> 00:01:51,689
do you think maybe you could
reach out to Billy and...
44
00:01:51,793 --> 00:01:55,000
admit that you were
a little hard on him?
45
00:01:58,034 --> 00:02:01,310
That is amazing.
46
00:02:01,413 --> 00:02:05,413
I could not be happier or more
hopeful!
47
00:02:05,517 --> 00:02:07,482
No, I know, but, you know what?
48
00:02:07,586 --> 00:02:08,655
This is progress.
49
00:02:08,758 --> 00:02:10,793
This is wonderful progress.
50
00:02:12,137 --> 00:02:14,206
I'm glad you did, and please,
51
00:02:14,310 --> 00:02:15,586
keep me posted.
52
00:02:15,689 --> 00:02:18,241
Let me know the minute you learn
anything more.
53
00:02:18,344 --> 00:02:21,103
Mariah, I'm so happy.
54
00:02:21,206 --> 00:02:23,137
And I love you so much.
55
00:02:23,241 --> 00:02:25,172
Okay, bye.
56
00:02:26,551 --> 00:02:29,724
Hey. It sounds like Mariah's
doing well.
57
00:02:29,827 --> 00:02:31,827
She's making progress?
58
00:02:31,931 --> 00:02:33,896
Not only that.
59
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,137
She's making amazing progress
next week.
60
00:02:37,241 --> 00:02:41,275
She's meeting with her team
to discuss her release.
61
00:02:42,379 --> 00:02:44,896
Wow. That--that's great news.
62
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,034
It's all just preliminary
and tentative right now.
63
00:02:48,137 --> 00:02:51,275
Of course, her team, even
if they do agree she's ready,
64
00:02:51,379 --> 00:02:53,103
a judge still has to agree.
65
00:02:53,206 --> 00:02:55,206
Well, I'm--I'm sure the judge
will agree
66
00:02:55,310 --> 00:02:57,137
if the doctors sign off on it.
67
00:02:57,241 --> 00:02:59,034
That's what I think.
68
00:02:59,137 --> 00:03:01,931
But you know what?
This is all good news.
69
00:03:02,034 --> 00:03:04,137
And if everything goes smoothly,
70
00:03:04,241 --> 00:03:08,827
I will have my daughter with me
back home where she belongs.
71
00:03:09,931 --> 00:03:12,068
I'm so happy for you.
72
00:03:14,758 --> 00:03:19,655
♪♪
73
00:04:05,655 --> 00:04:07,172
Well, hello.
74
00:04:10,137 --> 00:04:12,793
Oh, I'm sorry.
Did you just snub me?
75
00:04:13,931 --> 00:04:15,275
Hello.
76
00:04:19,344 --> 00:04:22,931
I came over here to have
a civil conversation.
77
00:04:23,034 --> 00:04:25,931
You can't see that I'm busy?
78
00:04:26,034 --> 00:04:27,827
Ah.
79
00:04:27,931 --> 00:04:31,103
Ordering new linens
for Matt Clark's room?
80
00:04:31,206 --> 00:04:33,344
Special pillows?
81
00:04:34,620 --> 00:04:36,068
What the hell are you thinking
82
00:04:36,172 --> 00:04:38,827
bringing that madman
onto our ranch
83
00:04:38,931 --> 00:04:41,241
near our children
and grandchildren?
84
00:04:41,344 --> 00:04:43,551
Have you lost your damn mind?
85
00:04:48,379 --> 00:04:50,620
My father wants this
to go a certain way
86
00:04:50,724 --> 00:04:53,517
or this whole deal is off.
87
00:04:53,620 --> 00:04:56,137
Yeah. The security
right outside the door
88
00:04:56,241 --> 00:04:58,448
makes that pretty clear.
89
00:04:58,551 --> 00:05:00,689
Then you know
what you have to do and say.
90
00:05:00,793 --> 00:05:03,103
Don't go off script.
91
00:05:03,206 --> 00:05:05,413
Can we just back up
for a minute?
92
00:05:05,517 --> 00:05:07,482
Do you need me to explain
this to you again?
93
00:05:07,586 --> 00:05:10,068
No. I need for you
to understand something.
94
00:05:10,172 --> 00:05:11,827
Understand what?
95
00:05:11,931 --> 00:05:14,551
- I've been thinking.
- Okay, Matt...
96
00:05:14,655 --> 00:05:15,965
that's not your job.
97
00:05:16,068 --> 00:05:17,448
Could you please
stop talking for a second
98
00:05:17,551 --> 00:05:19,655
and just listen?
99
00:05:19,758 --> 00:05:21,551
This can't happen.
100
00:05:21,655 --> 00:05:24,793
The whole situation has changed.
101
00:05:32,896 --> 00:05:35,758
Just to remind you...
102
00:05:35,862 --> 00:05:39,482
the ranch and who stays there
is none of your damn business.
103
00:05:39,586 --> 00:05:41,793
You have a suite up here, so...
104
00:05:41,896 --> 00:05:43,482
that's your domain.
105
00:05:43,586 --> 00:05:47,551
Oh, please.The people
at the ranch are my family too.
106
00:05:47,655 --> 00:05:50,724
And Matt Clark has tried
to murder most of them.
107
00:05:50,827 --> 00:05:52,620
Yes, I know he saved Nicholas,
108
00:05:52,724 --> 00:05:55,000
and I am grateful to him
for that.
109
00:05:55,103 --> 00:05:56,793
But the idea of him
living there,
110
00:05:56,896 --> 00:05:58,724
close to our grandchildren--
111
00:05:58,827 --> 00:06:01,137
That's why I keep him
where I can see him.
112
00:06:02,620 --> 00:06:05,344
And what if he becomes
suddenly murderous again?
113
00:06:05,448 --> 00:06:07,413
Then what?
114
00:06:07,517 --> 00:06:11,655
Victor, you have got to hand him
over to the police.
115
00:06:11,758 --> 00:06:14,413
Unless you wanna be arrested
for harboring a fugitive
116
00:06:14,517 --> 00:06:17,034
from justice.
117
00:06:17,137 --> 00:06:19,862
The charges against him
were dropped.
118
00:06:20,965 --> 00:06:22,620
How can that be?
119
00:06:22,724 --> 00:06:26,965
What did you do?
Did you bribesomebody?
120
00:06:27,068 --> 00:06:31,000
I mean, why on earth would you
let that man walk free?
121
00:06:34,724 --> 00:06:37,241
Is this it? Is this
where you admit that you're
122
00:06:37,344 --> 00:06:38,689
- still a son of a bitch...
- What?
123
00:06:38,793 --> 00:06:40,172
...and you're playing us?
Is that what you're about to
124
00:06:40,275 --> 00:06:41,551
- tell me, Matt?
- No, I'm not gonna
125
00:06:41,655 --> 00:06:43,000
- say that to you.
- Because I'll call security in
126
00:06:43,103 --> 00:06:44,724
- right now.
- I'm not a threat to anyone.
127
00:06:44,827 --> 00:06:46,137
- Really?
- Really.
128
00:06:46,241 --> 00:06:48,068
'Cause that was some expression
on your face just now.
129
00:06:48,172 --> 00:06:49,413
Oh, I had an expression
on my face?
130
00:06:49,517 --> 00:06:51,517
Yes. That you're gonna be
an issueagain.
131
00:06:51,620 --> 00:06:54,000
Oh, I have like resting "I'm
gonna be an issue again" face?
132
00:06:54,103 --> 00:06:55,862
Are you serious?
You are so high strung.
133
00:06:55,965 --> 00:06:57,413
You have like a hair trigger.
134
00:06:57,517 --> 00:06:59,103
- What's going on with you?
- I wonder why, Matt.
135
00:06:59,206 --> 00:07:01,689
Well, okay, look, I get it.
I mean, I wake up in the morning
136
00:07:01,793 --> 00:07:04,758
and I have a whole checklist
of like, yeah, I did that
137
00:07:04,862 --> 00:07:09,172
and I am that and I did that
and I...thought that.
138
00:07:09,275 --> 00:07:12,758
I did that twice. [laughs]
More than twice.
139
00:07:12,862 --> 00:07:15,241
And here's the thing.
Then I'm grateful, right,
140
00:07:15,344 --> 00:07:17,172
because Sienna hit me
in the head with a rock
141
00:07:17,275 --> 00:07:18,862
and rattled loose
that part of my brain,
142
00:07:18,965 --> 00:07:20,620
and maybe it won't come back,
143
00:07:20,724 --> 00:07:23,137
and I seem to have
a conscience now.
144
00:07:23,241 --> 00:07:25,620
She's activated my conscience.
I can't explain it to you.
145
00:07:25,724 --> 00:07:27,793
I don't even understand it
myself, but I owe her,
146
00:07:27,896 --> 00:07:30,758
even though she won't look me
in the eye. She doesn't like me.
147
00:07:30,862 --> 00:07:32,724
I owe your family,
and I wanna make good
148
00:07:32,827 --> 00:07:34,172
on what I've promised you.
149
00:07:34,275 --> 00:07:35,724
I wanna make amends
to your family,
150
00:07:35,827 --> 00:07:39,310
but it can't be thisway.
151
00:07:39,413 --> 00:07:43,137
And you think that's your call
why, exactly?
152
00:07:43,241 --> 00:07:46,758
I told you. This is
my father's decision, Matt.
153
00:07:46,862 --> 00:07:49,137
And I have to tell you,
if you say no,
154
00:07:49,241 --> 00:07:51,172
it's not gonna sit well
with him.
155
00:07:51,275 --> 00:07:53,103
Oh, it'll sit well with him.
It'll be fine.
156
00:07:53,206 --> 00:07:54,689
You just have to
explain it right.
157
00:07:54,793 --> 00:07:58,517
It...[laughs] it can't be
this way because it won't work.
158
00:07:58,620 --> 00:08:00,689
And why is that?
159
00:08:00,793 --> 00:08:04,103
Well, okay, so Victor asked me
if I knew Cane Ashby
160
00:08:04,206 --> 00:08:07,034
and I said no because name
didn't mean anything to me.
161
00:08:07,137 --> 00:08:09,206
But then he gave me all of this
research material--
162
00:08:09,310 --> 00:08:11,103
I'm going through it.
I see a picture of the guy.
163
00:08:11,206 --> 00:08:14,241
I met that guy
when I first came to town.
164
00:08:14,344 --> 00:08:15,482
And I didn't know his name,
165
00:08:15,586 --> 00:08:17,448
because I didn't know
my own name at the time.
166
00:08:17,551 --> 00:08:20,310
But if he recognizes me...
167
00:08:20,413 --> 00:08:23,448
then this whole thing
is already blown.
168
00:08:26,655 --> 00:08:29,103
I was hard on Billy?
169
00:08:29,206 --> 00:08:31,241
Weren't you?
170
00:08:31,344 --> 00:08:33,551
Given that...
171
00:08:33,655 --> 00:08:36,241
Billy helped steal
my father's life's work...
172
00:08:36,344 --> 00:08:38,206
no, I don't think so.
173
00:08:38,310 --> 00:08:39,758
But he didn't create the AI.
174
00:08:39,862 --> 00:08:41,689
He didn't load it onto
the Newman system
175
00:08:41,793 --> 00:08:44,206
and he didn't activate
the program.
176
00:08:44,310 --> 00:08:47,241
Sally, are you forgetting
that Spectra-Charles
177
00:08:47,344 --> 00:08:49,551
absorbed Newman Media?
178
00:08:49,655 --> 00:08:52,241
I mean, your company
has more than doubled in size
179
00:08:52,344 --> 00:08:54,448
because Billy was willing
to go along with Phyllis.
180
00:08:54,551 --> 00:08:56,931
Meanwhile, she's given back
everything that she still has
181
00:08:57,034 --> 00:08:58,689
that doesn't include
Newman Media.
182
00:08:58,793 --> 00:09:00,275
You still have it.
183
00:09:00,379 --> 00:09:02,620
Well, I saw Adam the other day,
184
00:09:02,724 --> 00:09:04,551
and he didn't even bring it up.
185
00:09:04,655 --> 00:09:06,137
Was he focused on your wedding
186
00:09:06,241 --> 00:09:09,344
and the baby that you and Billy
are gonna have?
187
00:09:09,448 --> 00:09:11,172
Yeah. I thought so.
188
00:09:11,275 --> 00:09:14,000
And, you know, maybe you
mentally put that to the side
189
00:09:14,103 --> 00:09:16,482
and you're focused on
the same things.
190
00:09:16,586 --> 00:09:19,344
But, look,
the truth of the matter is
191
00:09:19,448 --> 00:09:22,551
is that you and Billy benefited
way more than Phyllis and Cane
192
00:09:22,655 --> 00:09:25,034
from this whole nightmare.
So do you really
193
00:09:25,137 --> 00:09:28,827
want to talk to me
about being rough on Billy?
194
00:09:28,931 --> 00:09:32,620
Okay. This isn't about business.
195
00:09:32,724 --> 00:09:34,758
This is about the new family
196
00:09:34,862 --> 00:09:38,206
that we're creating and how
we're all gonna get along.
197
00:09:38,310 --> 00:09:40,068
Johnny and Katie
are really smart
198
00:09:40,172 --> 00:09:41,482
and they're really insightful
199
00:09:41,586 --> 00:09:43,241
and they're gonna pick up
on the tension
200
00:09:43,344 --> 00:09:46,379
and it's just gonna become
more stressful for everyone.
201
00:09:46,482 --> 00:09:50,034
Right. You don't need
that kind of stress either.
202
00:09:51,275 --> 00:09:53,586
Look, I know you didn't ask
that question for yourself.
203
00:09:53,689 --> 00:09:56,172
I know you're just being
a thoughtful stepparent.
204
00:09:56,275 --> 00:09:58,689
But it's okay to think about
yourself too, you know?
205
00:09:58,793 --> 00:10:02,379
You have a baby on the way
and Billy and...
206
00:10:02,482 --> 00:10:05,206
the kids and coparenting
and all of it--it's a lot.
207
00:10:05,310 --> 00:10:07,896
You have a lot on your plate
right now.
208
00:10:09,206 --> 00:10:13,172
But first, uh, the wedding,
right?
209
00:10:14,793 --> 00:10:17,034
Yeah. Lotta decisions to make.
210
00:10:17,931 --> 00:10:19,241
Such as?
211
00:10:21,241 --> 00:10:24,344
I mean, is it gonna be...
212
00:10:24,448 --> 00:10:28,517
small and sweet
or grand and elegant?
213
00:10:28,620 --> 00:10:31,172
I mean, either sounds lovely.
214
00:10:31,275 --> 00:10:32,862
But...
215
00:10:34,965 --> 00:10:36,862
You have a tone in your voice.
216
00:10:36,965 --> 00:10:38,275
No. It's not my place.
217
00:10:38,379 --> 00:10:40,689
But I asked.
218
00:10:40,793 --> 00:10:44,413
Well, if you're thinking...
grand and elegant,
219
00:10:44,517 --> 00:10:46,310
then I'd say go for that.
220
00:10:46,413 --> 00:10:48,413
Have it.
221
00:10:48,517 --> 00:10:50,206
Yeah, I mean, I...
222
00:10:50,310 --> 00:10:52,172
I'm definitely
leaning toward that.
223
00:10:52,275 --> 00:10:56,275
Yeah. You're from the style
and fashion world, right?
224
00:10:56,379 --> 00:10:59,310
I hope Billy isn't trying to
shoot down any of your ideas.
225
00:10:59,413 --> 00:11:00,689
He's not.
226
00:11:00,793 --> 00:11:02,206
Are you sure he's not?
227
00:11:02,310 --> 00:11:06,482
No, truly. He wants to give me
everything that I want.
228
00:11:07,413 --> 00:11:10,413
Well, you deserve all the best.
Truly, you do.
229
00:11:10,517 --> 00:11:12,827
And I just want you to know
that no matter what happens
230
00:11:12,931 --> 00:11:15,103
between me and Billy ever,
231
00:11:15,206 --> 00:11:19,137
I want what's best
for both of you, I really do.
232
00:11:25,034 --> 00:11:27,206
Well, I'm very happy for you.
233
00:11:27,310 --> 00:11:31,517
I know that whole experience
with Mariah, that was...
234
00:11:31,620 --> 00:11:33,482
that was harrowing for you.
235
00:11:33,586 --> 00:11:36,689
Oh...for the longest time,
236
00:11:36,793 --> 00:11:38,620
I kept asking myself
237
00:11:38,724 --> 00:11:41,586
how did things get
to this point?
238
00:11:42,379 --> 00:11:44,137
Yeah. I think sometimes
it's better
239
00:11:44,241 --> 00:11:46,551
not to ask yourself
those kind of questions.
240
00:11:46,655 --> 00:11:48,448
Oh, well, I had my answers.
Ian Ward.
241
00:11:48,551 --> 00:11:50,137
He came back into our lives,
242
00:11:50,241 --> 00:11:52,724
and he pushed Mariah
to the brink.
243
00:11:52,827 --> 00:11:56,068
She kept all that inside
until she couldn't anymore.
244
00:11:57,965 --> 00:12:01,413
Yeah. She hit her breaking
point, didn't she?
245
00:12:01,517 --> 00:12:03,379
And taking Dominic...
246
00:12:03,482 --> 00:12:05,931
that was her way
of trying to find
247
00:12:06,034 --> 00:12:08,517
a center again for herself.
248
00:12:08,620 --> 00:12:12,586
She convinced herself
that he could be that for her.
249
00:12:12,689 --> 00:12:16,344
It always comes back
to our kids, doesn't it?
250
00:12:16,448 --> 00:12:18,655
They center us, don't they?
251
00:12:19,965 --> 00:12:23,034
You're talking about Summer
and Daniel now, aren't you?
252
00:12:25,103 --> 00:12:26,931
They're all I have.
253
00:12:29,758 --> 00:12:31,068
Anyway.
254
00:12:31,172 --> 00:12:33,931
It's like Mariah, you know?
255
00:12:35,034 --> 00:12:38,206
They're my center, my kids.
256
00:12:39,758 --> 00:12:41,931
I'd do anything to get...
257
00:12:42,034 --> 00:12:45,413
Ah, this is not about me.
This is about you and Mariah.
258
00:12:46,655 --> 00:12:48,655
And it seems like
Mariah found her center,
259
00:12:48,758 --> 00:12:50,448
and I'm so happy for her.
260
00:12:50,551 --> 00:12:52,827
And I'm glad
that you have her back.
261
00:12:52,931 --> 00:12:55,586
- Thank you for saying that.
- Yeah.
262
00:12:55,689 --> 00:12:57,413
You know,
263
00:12:57,517 --> 00:13:00,655
I still marvel
at the change in our dynamic,
264
00:13:00,758 --> 00:13:02,448
our relationship.
265
00:13:02,551 --> 00:13:05,344
I know I've said that before.
266
00:13:05,448 --> 00:13:07,689
I think it bears repeating.
267
00:13:10,724 --> 00:13:13,758
Martin Laurent
was our Ian Ward...
268
00:13:15,827 --> 00:13:18,689
...that pushed us to the brink.
269
00:13:20,137 --> 00:13:22,275
I think we're still recovering.
270
00:13:29,931 --> 00:13:31,551
What did you say to Cane
exactly?
271
00:13:31,655 --> 00:13:33,793
Oh, I don't remember exactly.
272
00:13:33,896 --> 00:13:36,862
[sighing] Then what did you say
in general?
273
00:13:36,965 --> 00:13:39,310
Uh...well, yeah, no.
[laughs] I don't know.
274
00:13:39,413 --> 00:13:41,379
I mean, it couldn't have been
much of a conversation,
275
00:13:41,482 --> 00:13:43,379
'cause I didn't know anything
about anything at that point.
276
00:13:43,482 --> 00:13:44,655
Where were you?
277
00:13:44,758 --> 00:13:47,068
Uh, the Genoa City
Athletic Club.
278
00:13:47,172 --> 00:13:48,482
I found a card key from there,
279
00:13:48,586 --> 00:13:50,172
so I was just kinda
waving my face around town,
280
00:13:50,275 --> 00:13:52,137
seeing if anybody
could tell me who I was.
281
00:13:52,241 --> 00:13:53,758
What did he say to you?
282
00:13:53,862 --> 00:13:56,896
Oh, not much. He was really
involved with his phone.
283
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,172
Dark cloud, bad mood kinda guy.
284
00:13:59,275 --> 00:14:01,379
And then Phyllis comes in
and the two of them get into it.
285
00:14:01,482 --> 00:14:03,379
Okay. So let's be clear.
You didn't tell him
286
00:14:03,482 --> 00:14:05,241
you were back in town
'cause you lost your memory
287
00:14:05,344 --> 00:14:06,724
after trying to blow up
somebody.
288
00:14:06,827 --> 00:14:08,793
Oh, no, no, no,
I totally left that part out
289
00:14:08,896 --> 00:14:10,793
because I didn't remember
that part. Come on, man!
290
00:14:10,896 --> 00:14:13,275
Is this how things
are gonna go with us, okay?
291
00:14:13,379 --> 00:14:15,620
'Cause the maniac
who thought those things
292
00:14:15,724 --> 00:14:16,758
and did those things--
293
00:14:16,862 --> 00:14:18,620
I don't even have
those thoughts anymore.
294
00:14:18,724 --> 00:14:20,000
- Mm-hmm.
- In fact, I'm worried
295
00:14:20,103 --> 00:14:21,413
that I might have overcorrected.
296
00:14:21,517 --> 00:14:23,586
Like my conscience
is in such an overdrive,
297
00:14:23,689 --> 00:14:25,793
I'm not even comfortable
looking at another man
298
00:14:25,896 --> 00:14:27,862
and telling him something
that isn't true
299
00:14:27,965 --> 00:14:30,310
just because it gets me
something that I want.
300
00:14:30,413 --> 00:14:32,862
Even if it's your path
to redemption?
301
00:14:34,379 --> 00:14:36,586
Okay. [laughs]
302
00:14:36,689 --> 00:14:40,103
The old me was pretty obsessed
with your family, right?
303
00:14:40,206 --> 00:14:43,137
[clears throat] It was mostly
before my time,
304
00:14:43,241 --> 00:14:45,103
but...yes.
305
00:14:45,206 --> 00:14:47,275
I was. Trust me.
306
00:14:47,379 --> 00:14:50,172
I know everythingthere is
to know about the Newman family.
307
00:14:50,275 --> 00:14:52,413
And you, Adam...
308
00:14:52,517 --> 00:14:54,137
you didn't always do
the right thing.
309
00:14:54,241 --> 00:14:56,413
Maybe not as bad as me,
310
00:14:56,517 --> 00:14:59,103
but you're not the guy
that you used to be.
311
00:14:59,206 --> 00:15:00,655
Am I right about that?
312
00:15:00,758 --> 00:15:03,137
Okay. So the feeling
that you get
313
00:15:03,241 --> 00:15:05,482
when you think about doing
the thing that you used to do,
314
00:15:05,586 --> 00:15:07,034
even if it's for
the right reason this time,
315
00:15:07,137 --> 00:15:09,931
even if you think
that it might help somebody...
316
00:15:10,034 --> 00:15:12,034
it's still a really horrible
feeling, right?
317
00:15:12,137 --> 00:15:14,172
It's like you're standing
in front of a door
318
00:15:14,275 --> 00:15:17,310
that you just don't wanna open.
319
00:15:17,413 --> 00:15:18,517
Vegas.
320
00:15:18,620 --> 00:15:20,551
Right--why are we talking
about Vegas?
321
00:15:20,655 --> 00:15:22,482
Because I felt that way
in Vegas.
322
00:15:22,586 --> 00:15:25,827
Going back to a past life
didn't sit well with me,
323
00:15:25,931 --> 00:15:28,551
even though I was doing it
to help my family.
324
00:15:28,655 --> 00:15:31,862
Thank you.
I'm that guy right now.
325
00:15:31,965 --> 00:15:34,172
And I'm standing
in front of the door,
326
00:15:34,275 --> 00:15:36,344
but it's like horror movie style
327
00:15:36,448 --> 00:15:38,310
and like everybody
in the movie theater's like,
328
00:15:38,413 --> 00:15:40,310
[high voice]
"Don't get in the door!"
329
00:15:40,413 --> 00:15:43,379
But you're like still
reaching for the handle
330
00:15:43,482 --> 00:15:45,137
to rattle the handle.
331
00:15:45,241 --> 00:15:49,413
You know, you really are the
opposite of your former self.
332
00:15:49,517 --> 00:15:51,137
Thank you,
333
00:15:51,241 --> 00:15:53,758
Seriously, thank you so much
for saying that.
334
00:15:53,862 --> 00:15:56,068
Yeah. I get it. I get it.
335
00:15:56,172 --> 00:15:59,448
But my dad doesn't, okay?
336
00:15:59,551 --> 00:16:01,827
He wants this from you.
337
00:16:01,931 --> 00:16:05,344
There's a chance that Cane
may not remember you.
338
00:16:05,448 --> 00:16:07,379
So...
339
00:16:07,482 --> 00:16:09,379
what do you say?
340
00:16:09,482 --> 00:16:11,965
You think you can do this?
341
00:16:13,103 --> 00:16:16,034
I'd like to try.
Yeah, let's give it a shot.
342
00:16:16,137 --> 00:16:17,551
Okay.
343
00:16:25,758 --> 00:16:27,068
For your information,
344
00:16:27,172 --> 00:16:29,310
I don't control the cops
in Las Vegas, all right?
345
00:16:29,413 --> 00:16:32,413
And you have no idea
why they dropped the charges?
346
00:16:32,517 --> 00:16:33,862
No clue.
347
00:16:36,241 --> 00:16:40,758
Well, then, the lifelong
criminal goes free... again.
348
00:16:40,862 --> 00:16:42,551
However it happened,
349
00:16:42,655 --> 00:16:44,896
it goes back to you
thinking you know best.
350
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:47,034
I don't need to share
my plans with you.
351
00:16:47,137 --> 00:16:49,827
You walked away from
that privilege.
352
00:16:49,931 --> 00:16:53,551
If you had told me everything
when I wasby your side,
353
00:16:53,655 --> 00:16:55,517
things would be
very different now.
354
00:16:55,620 --> 00:16:57,620
But you shut me out.
355
00:16:59,724 --> 00:17:01,689
You're damn right
I shut you out.
356
00:17:01,793 --> 00:17:05,000
Okay. Well, then
maybe I'll shut you out.
357
00:17:05,103 --> 00:17:08,000
Maybe I won't tell you about
my morning with Nicholas.
358
00:17:10,034 --> 00:17:12,758
What about it? Is he okay?
359
00:17:14,172 --> 00:17:15,275
Victoria.
360
00:17:15,379 --> 00:17:17,137
Sally.
361
00:17:17,241 --> 00:17:19,241
Didn't expect
to see you two together.
362
00:17:20,103 --> 00:17:23,689
Uh, yeah. This is a surprise
for everyone.
363
00:17:23,793 --> 00:17:25,517
- MATT: Victoria.
- It's nice to see you again.
364
00:17:25,620 --> 00:17:27,137
You look well.
365
00:17:27,241 --> 00:17:29,241
Thank you.
366
00:17:29,344 --> 00:17:31,448
- Uh, this is Matt.
- SALLY: Hi.
367
00:17:31,551 --> 00:17:33,000
- He's a family friend.
- Nice to meet you.
368
00:17:33,103 --> 00:17:34,551
- I'm showing him around town.
- SALLY: Oh!
369
00:17:34,655 --> 00:17:36,206
How are you liking Genoa City?
370
00:17:36,310 --> 00:17:37,793
- Big fan.
- Great.
371
00:17:37,896 --> 00:17:40,068
[laughs] Good to hear.
372
00:17:40,172 --> 00:17:42,655
[sighs] Anyway,
I should get back to work.
373
00:17:42,758 --> 00:17:45,827
It was...I'm really glad
that we got to talk.
374
00:17:45,931 --> 00:17:47,620
VICTORIA: Yeah, me too.
375
00:17:47,724 --> 00:17:49,413
I'll keep everything
that you said in mind.
376
00:17:49,517 --> 00:17:52,068
I will do the same.
377
00:17:52,172 --> 00:17:53,896
- Nice to meet you.
- MATT: Nice meeting you.
378
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:56,275
- Take care.
- You too.
379
00:18:01,137 --> 00:18:03,137
What is he doing here?
380
00:18:03,241 --> 00:18:05,517
He used to live here.
People know him.
381
00:18:05,620 --> 00:18:07,896
They knewhim.
382
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,172
- It was a long time ago.
- Well, they thought
383
00:18:10,275 --> 00:18:12,206
that he's been dead
all of this time, Adam.
384
00:18:12,310 --> 00:18:15,068
Okay, and then they forgot him.
Also, does he look like he did
385
00:18:15,172 --> 00:18:17,275
20 years ago,
whatever it's been?
386
00:18:17,379 --> 00:18:19,586
- I doubt it.
- Whoa, I'm...right here.
387
00:18:19,689 --> 00:18:21,275
Okay. There's a reason that Dad
388
00:18:21,379 --> 00:18:23,379
kept him locked down
on the ranch.
389
00:18:23,482 --> 00:18:26,620
Matt shouldn't be out.
It's not safe for anyone.
390
00:18:30,827 --> 00:18:33,827
You know what? I still...
391
00:18:33,931 --> 00:18:38,241
have nightmares about that
prison that he kept us in...
392
00:18:38,344 --> 00:18:42,275
and the experiments
that he subjected us to.
393
00:18:44,482 --> 00:18:46,448
So do I.
394
00:18:47,724 --> 00:18:49,379
You know, Sharon...
395
00:18:51,517 --> 00:18:54,965
I-I, too, marvel at...
396
00:18:55,068 --> 00:18:57,689
what that experience has done
to our connection.
397
00:18:59,275 --> 00:19:02,206
No matter what happens with us
going forward...
398
00:19:04,413 --> 00:19:07,000
We are bonded forever.
399
00:19:08,896 --> 00:19:10,517
You know what I think?
400
00:19:10,620 --> 00:19:14,034
It's even made me a better,
stronger parent.
401
00:19:14,137 --> 00:19:15,896
That's what I think.
402
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:19,137
And now that you have
put Newman aside,
403
00:19:19,241 --> 00:19:22,206
you've let Newman go
and all of that is behind us,
404
00:19:22,310 --> 00:19:26,344
I think that you will find
a way to get Summer and Daniel
405
00:19:26,448 --> 00:19:29,413
back into your life.
406
00:19:36,827 --> 00:19:38,551
PHYLLIS:
You know, my instinct is,
407
00:19:38,655 --> 00:19:41,862
of course, to just force
the issue with my kids
408
00:19:41,965 --> 00:19:45,172
and just keep on harping on them
and harping on them
409
00:19:45,275 --> 00:19:47,000
until they fold and forgive me.
410
00:19:47,103 --> 00:19:49,517
Not that I need forgiveness.
I don't need forgiveness.
411
00:19:49,620 --> 00:19:53,034
I beat Victor at his own game.
I mean...
412
00:19:53,137 --> 00:19:55,965
[ahem] it's just business.
They don't see it like that.
413
00:19:57,758 --> 00:20:01,517
I thought that you'd given up
that way of thinking.
414
00:20:01,620 --> 00:20:05,068
I mean, can't you see
their point of view finally?
415
00:20:05,172 --> 00:20:08,034
If you can't,
you really have no hope
416
00:20:08,137 --> 00:20:10,241
of ever winning
their trust back.
417
00:20:12,482 --> 00:20:14,137
You know
one of the hardest things
418
00:20:14,241 --> 00:20:16,206
about our new best friendship...
419
00:20:17,862 --> 00:20:20,241
...is admitting you're right.
420
00:20:25,689 --> 00:20:29,827
Remember when I saved your life?
Do you remember that?
421
00:20:29,931 --> 00:20:33,655
I think that goes down
as one of the most stellar
422
00:20:33,758 --> 00:20:37,310
Phyllis Summers moments
in history.
423
00:20:37,413 --> 00:20:40,827
No question.
I will alwaysowe you for that.
424
00:20:40,931 --> 00:20:44,172
Just as youwill always owe me.
425
00:20:45,724 --> 00:20:48,103
We can't ever forget
any of that.
426
00:20:48,206 --> 00:20:52,517
We need it to feed us
so that we get better every day.
427
00:20:59,137 --> 00:21:01,758
Nicholas and I went to
a meeting today.
428
00:21:01,862 --> 00:21:03,551
Hmm.
429
00:21:03,655 --> 00:21:05,931
And he spoke.
He shared everything
430
00:21:06,034 --> 00:21:08,379
that he's going through.
431
00:21:08,482 --> 00:21:11,931
He also said that he feels
like a disappointment,
432
00:21:12,034 --> 00:21:14,172
and that's very upsetting
to him.
433
00:21:14,275 --> 00:21:16,034
I was never disappointed in him.
434
00:21:16,137 --> 00:21:18,482
I've always been
very proud of my boy.
435
00:21:18,586 --> 00:21:20,758
I told him how proud
we all are of him
436
00:21:20,862 --> 00:21:25,103
and that we will do anything
to support him.
437
00:21:25,206 --> 00:21:29,379
Gosh, he sure is a lot stronger
than I was at my first meeting.
438
00:21:30,931 --> 00:21:33,620
Well, he must have been
very glad that you were there.
439
00:21:34,620 --> 00:21:37,448
I think it meant
even more to me.
440
00:21:37,551 --> 00:21:39,448
Nicholas and Victoria
441
00:21:39,551 --> 00:21:43,137
have supported me
through myfight.
442
00:21:43,241 --> 00:21:47,068
[sighs] I hate that
he's going through this, but...
443
00:21:47,172 --> 00:21:50,103
I'm grateful
that he's let me in.
444
00:21:57,517 --> 00:21:59,482
Anyway,
thank you for the update.
445
00:22:01,517 --> 00:22:05,379
I got my own update earlier
from Victoria.
446
00:22:05,482 --> 00:22:06,724
About what?
447
00:22:06,827 --> 00:22:08,931
Chancellor.
448
00:22:09,034 --> 00:22:11,862
That you've handed it over
to Lily.
449
00:22:11,965 --> 00:22:14,517
So I did. Mm-hmm.
450
00:22:14,620 --> 00:22:17,034
Without a word to me.
451
00:22:17,137 --> 00:22:19,931
How could you do that?
452
00:22:20,034 --> 00:22:22,310
Very simple. I did.
453
00:22:24,586 --> 00:22:26,137
VICTORIA: Honestly, Adam,
454
00:22:26,241 --> 00:22:28,103
having him out here
in public like this...
455
00:22:28,206 --> 00:22:29,862
I get it. I do. I understand.
456
00:22:29,965 --> 00:22:31,655
Thank you so much.
That's so reassuring.
457
00:22:31,758 --> 00:22:34,517
I'm not great at this.
458
00:22:34,620 --> 00:22:37,275
What about you? You were
being the voice of reason.
459
00:22:37,379 --> 00:22:39,000
What happened to that?
460
00:22:39,103 --> 00:22:42,310
I am avoice.
But I don't make the calls.
461
00:22:42,413 --> 00:22:43,724
That would be our father.
462
00:22:43,827 --> 00:22:45,931
Yes. And he has a mission
for Matt.
463
00:22:46,034 --> 00:22:47,896
No violence.
464
00:22:49,965 --> 00:22:52,586
What is the point of this plan?
465
00:22:52,689 --> 00:22:55,206
He's gonna keep tabs
on Cane Ashby.
466
00:22:55,310 --> 00:22:56,931
Pops isn't sure that he's let go
467
00:22:57,034 --> 00:22:58,482
of getting revenge
on the family.
468
00:22:58,586 --> 00:23:01,068
Well, how can Matt help?
469
00:23:01,172 --> 00:23:03,931
He's gonna play nice
and be our eyes and ears.
470
00:23:04,034 --> 00:23:06,724
No havoc or destruction.
Just eyes, ears.
471
00:23:06,827 --> 00:23:09,344
Right. Because
that's not who you are anymore.
472
00:23:09,448 --> 00:23:12,137
He is committed to doing
what Dad wants.
473
00:23:12,241 --> 00:23:14,758
And we can trust you on that?
474
00:23:14,862 --> 00:23:17,137
- Yeah, you can.
- To save your skin.
475
00:23:19,551 --> 00:23:23,000
Hurting you,
hurting anyone in your family...
476
00:23:23,103 --> 00:23:24,896
that's not my instinct.
477
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,862
Okay, but what if somebody
says something
478
00:23:27,965 --> 00:23:31,241
- and triggers him or--
- Security's never far away.
479
00:23:33,275 --> 00:23:35,068
Look, this is
our father's decision,
480
00:23:35,172 --> 00:23:38,068
and he did do the impossible
and he got the company back.
481
00:23:38,172 --> 00:23:41,137
So I don't see what choice
we have but to go with...
482
00:23:41,241 --> 00:23:42,896
this.
483
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,000
You know what you have to do?
484
00:23:45,103 --> 00:23:47,137
Uh, I-I think so...
485
00:23:51,103 --> 00:23:53,827
Cane. Thanks for coming.
486
00:23:53,931 --> 00:23:57,068
Adam. Victoria.
487
00:24:20,724 --> 00:24:23,034
PHYLLIS: Summer, I don't know
if Daniel's told you
488
00:24:23,137 --> 00:24:25,655
or if you've looked at...
489
00:24:25,758 --> 00:24:28,413
my previous messages to you.
490
00:24:28,517 --> 00:24:30,241
Hopefully you have.
491
00:24:31,448 --> 00:24:33,413
Or at least
you'll look at this one.
492
00:24:35,275 --> 00:24:37,655
It's your mom, being
overbearing and intrusive.
493
00:24:37,758 --> 00:24:39,310
I need you to know
494
00:24:39,413 --> 00:24:42,034
that I've given
the company back to Victor.
495
00:24:43,827 --> 00:24:45,965
I understand
why you're so angry at me
496
00:24:46,068 --> 00:24:47,448
for taking it
in the first place.
497
00:24:47,551 --> 00:24:49,034
I do understand that,
498
00:24:49,137 --> 00:24:52,310
along with so many other things
you think I've done wrong.
499
00:24:54,206 --> 00:24:56,206
Maybe you could just
talk about it
500
00:24:56,310 --> 00:24:58,310
and have a conversation?
501
00:24:59,379 --> 00:25:02,241
Can't you find it in your heart
to give me that much?
502
00:25:03,931 --> 00:25:07,206
Maybe you could consider
coming home for a bit.
503
00:25:09,379 --> 00:25:12,448
I don't know if you still
think of this as your home.
504
00:25:15,172 --> 00:25:19,517
I...I don't know if you
still think of me as your mom.
505
00:25:23,137 --> 00:25:27,482
Uh, where are my manners?
Um, Cane, this is Matt.
506
00:25:27,586 --> 00:25:30,310
Matt, Cane.
507
00:25:30,413 --> 00:25:31,689
What are we doing here?
508
00:25:31,793 --> 00:25:33,655
We thought a civil meeting
on neutral territory
509
00:25:33,758 --> 00:25:37,655
- was overdue.
- Yeah, just to clear the air.
510
00:25:37,758 --> 00:25:39,275
Okay.
511
00:25:40,344 --> 00:25:44,206
Okay. The DA's case against you,
Phyllis--
512
00:25:44,310 --> 00:25:47,137
When I was arrested in front of
my staff in my own club?
513
00:25:47,241 --> 00:25:49,551
It was never about you, Cane.
You know that.
514
00:25:49,655 --> 00:25:52,034
Phyllis was the one that we were
trying to get through to.
515
00:25:52,137 --> 00:25:53,586
No, I clued into that,
516
00:25:53,689 --> 00:25:55,068
considering my company
was decimated
517
00:25:55,172 --> 00:25:57,551
and I had zero control over
anything that you people wanted.
518
00:25:57,655 --> 00:26:00,034
ADAM: We're sorry
for the inconvenience.
519
00:26:00,137 --> 00:26:01,896
Oh. Well, then, we're all good.
520
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:05,068
Look, the charges were dropped.
You know that.
521
00:26:05,172 --> 00:26:07,793
And it's not like our actions
were unprovoked.
522
00:26:07,896 --> 00:26:09,862
CANE: All anybody
could talk about for months
523
00:26:09,965 --> 00:26:11,655
was Victor's misplaced empire.
524
00:26:11,758 --> 00:26:14,137
You got it back,
and you still won't let it go.
525
00:26:14,241 --> 00:26:17,379
Look, we're just trying to have
a friendly conversation, Cane.
526
00:26:17,482 --> 00:26:19,379
You didn't have to bother.
527
00:26:19,482 --> 00:26:22,517
Just...we're trying to
smooth the waters.
528
00:26:22,620 --> 00:26:24,241
CANE: I don't think you are.
529
00:26:24,344 --> 00:26:25,862
If we're all gonna live here
in Genoa City,
530
00:26:25,965 --> 00:26:27,758
we need to find a way
to coexist.
531
00:26:27,862 --> 00:26:30,517
I think this is about
something else.
532
00:26:30,620 --> 00:26:32,103
Such as what?
533
00:26:32,206 --> 00:26:34,965
I don't know. You tell me.
What's...what's...
534
00:26:35,068 --> 00:26:37,137
what's this guy doing
at the meeting?
535
00:26:37,241 --> 00:26:39,206
Hmm?
536
00:26:39,310 --> 00:26:42,000
What kinda trap
you trying to set now?
537
00:26:45,517 --> 00:26:47,137
VICTOR: Well, I'm sorry
you feel that way.
538
00:26:47,241 --> 00:26:50,586
Oh, don't give me
some fake apology,
539
00:26:50,689 --> 00:26:54,000
pretending that you didn't
wantto hurt me.
540
00:26:54,103 --> 00:26:56,310
Giving away the company
that I loved
541
00:26:56,413 --> 00:26:58,103
without any warning--
542
00:26:58,206 --> 00:27:01,758
that told me that you're just
saying, "Go to hell, Nikki."
543
00:27:01,862 --> 00:27:04,724
You chose your friendship
with Jack Abbott
544
00:27:04,827 --> 00:27:07,206
over your husband.
545
00:27:07,310 --> 00:27:10,103
You don't have a right
to ask any questions.
546
00:27:10,206 --> 00:27:13,379
Oh. Uh-huh. You had already
put Victoria in charge then,
547
00:27:13,482 --> 00:27:15,379
and I accepted that.
548
00:27:15,482 --> 00:27:19,103
But then you had to go
and give it back to Lily.
549
00:27:22,758 --> 00:27:25,413
Oh, my God.
550
00:27:25,517 --> 00:27:28,620
That's what you promised her,
isn't it?
551
00:27:28,724 --> 00:27:33,241
When she went along with
that fake kidnapping scam.
552
00:27:34,344 --> 00:27:36,413
No, wait, wait, wait, wait.
553
00:27:36,517 --> 00:27:40,896
That was long before Jack,
before we started arguing,
554
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:43,000
before I moved out.
555
00:27:44,931 --> 00:27:47,000
You think what you want, okay?
556
00:27:48,137 --> 00:27:51,758
I am asking you a question.
I deserve an answer.
557
00:27:51,862 --> 00:27:53,413
No, you don't.
558
00:27:54,827 --> 00:27:57,551
- How can you say that?
- I said it.
559
00:27:57,655 --> 00:28:01,000
Just as you refuse
to give up on Jack Abbott.
560
00:28:02,724 --> 00:28:06,620
Your hatred of him
will always mean more to you
561
00:28:06,724 --> 00:28:08,620
than I do--ow!
562
00:28:10,965 --> 00:28:13,689
What's the matter?
563
00:28:21,689 --> 00:28:24,172
VICTOR: Are you all right?
564
00:28:24,275 --> 00:28:26,448
Yes. It's...
565
00:28:26,551 --> 00:28:28,620
it's just a headache, Victor.
566
00:28:28,724 --> 00:28:30,379
It happens.
567
00:28:30,482 --> 00:28:33,586
Yeah, but not that often.
Is this related to your MS?
568
00:28:34,931 --> 00:28:36,724
Now you're being civil...
569
00:28:36,827 --> 00:28:38,724
after being so dismissive?
570
00:28:38,827 --> 00:28:40,482
I am fine.
571
00:28:40,586 --> 00:28:42,931
I don't need your phony concern.
572
00:28:43,034 --> 00:28:46,034
I asked you a damn question
about your headache.
573
00:28:46,137 --> 00:28:48,241
You know, I think it's best
574
00:28:48,344 --> 00:28:51,068
that we not talk about anything
other than the children
575
00:28:51,172 --> 00:28:53,172
so that we can at least pretend
576
00:28:53,275 --> 00:28:54,965
that we can get alon--
577
00:28:55,068 --> 00:28:56,275
Oh!
578
00:28:57,620 --> 00:28:59,551
[Nikki gasping]
579
00:28:59,655 --> 00:29:01,724
Shall I call a doctor or what?
580
00:29:01,827 --> 00:29:03,241
Victor...
581
00:29:04,448 --> 00:29:07,344
It is stress.
582
00:29:07,448 --> 00:29:09,379
Now, don't be so surprised
583
00:29:09,482 --> 00:29:11,862
after everything
you've put me through.
584
00:29:18,344 --> 00:29:20,103
You okay?
585
00:29:22,827 --> 00:29:26,241
[laughs] No. No.
586
00:29:26,344 --> 00:29:28,000
No.
587
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:33,931
But I-I'll get there.
588
00:29:34,034 --> 00:29:36,689
I know we'll get there.
589
00:29:43,241 --> 00:29:45,379
Matt's a friend of the family.
590
00:29:45,482 --> 00:29:47,620
Yeah? You bring all your friends
to meetings like this?
591
00:29:47,724 --> 00:29:49,655
My father wants Matt to get
acquainted with Genoa City.
592
00:29:49,758 --> 00:29:51,655
Yeah. He's thinking about
staying for a while.
593
00:29:51,758 --> 00:29:53,620
He might be doing
some work for us,
594
00:29:53,724 --> 00:29:56,103
and there's nothing that we've
discussed that he can't hear.
595
00:29:56,206 --> 00:29:57,724
So you're one of the gang now?
596
00:29:57,827 --> 00:29:59,482
Hoping to be one of the gang
eventually.
597
00:29:59,586 --> 00:30:00,862
Yeah, you sure
that's what you want?
598
00:30:00,965 --> 00:30:02,206
These people are a wily bunch.
599
00:30:02,310 --> 00:30:04,000
Oh, they've been great,
really nice to me.
600
00:30:04,103 --> 00:30:06,413
I totally appreciate
all their hospitality.
601
00:30:07,965 --> 00:30:10,379
Bro, can--can I ask you
a question?
602
00:30:11,482 --> 00:30:13,655
Is it true?
603
00:30:13,758 --> 00:30:15,896
Were you Aristotle Dumas?
604
00:30:17,896 --> 00:30:19,172
Why?
605
00:30:19,275 --> 00:30:22,103
Oh, man! Bro, that was some
serious empire building!
606
00:30:22,206 --> 00:30:24,482
You did so much
in such a short period of time,
607
00:30:24,586 --> 00:30:26,689
and it's not like the press
was doing you any favors.
608
00:30:26,793 --> 00:30:29,551
Right? The coverage was a little
lopsided. Am I right?
609
00:30:29,655 --> 00:30:31,724
- Matt, we've been over that.
- No, and I got it then.
610
00:30:31,827 --> 00:30:34,379
Right? But this is the man!
Dude, you are the man.
611
00:30:34,482 --> 00:30:36,206
Exactly. He was always
just a man
612
00:30:36,310 --> 00:30:38,586
playing fast and loose
with somebody else's money.
613
00:30:38,689 --> 00:30:40,620
Yeah, well, not everybody's
born right, right?
614
00:30:40,724 --> 00:30:43,068
- No offense.
- No. None taken.
615
00:30:44,068 --> 00:30:46,344
You took a little bit
of seed money...
616
00:30:46,448 --> 00:30:48,103
turned it into something epic.
617
00:30:48,206 --> 00:30:50,103
And all it took
was one massive mistake
618
00:30:50,206 --> 00:30:51,758
- for him to lose it all.
- Who cares?
619
00:30:51,862 --> 00:30:53,275
You did it once,
you can do it again.
620
00:30:53,379 --> 00:30:55,103
Genius like this
doesn't just fade away, right?
621
00:30:55,206 --> 00:30:57,034
Doesn't matter
what he calls himself.
622
00:30:57,137 --> 00:31:00,620
My man, I put you up there
right next to Victor Newman.
623
00:31:00,724 --> 00:31:03,310
And before you get grumpy
about that, it's okay.
624
00:31:03,413 --> 00:31:07,172
I can be impressed by two people
at the same time.
625
00:31:07,275 --> 00:31:09,896
And I am.
626
00:31:21,827 --> 00:31:23,827
I find your concern ironic
627
00:31:23,931 --> 00:31:26,517
considering you are
the source of my stress.
628
00:31:26,620 --> 00:31:27,931
I'm not going to argue with you.
629
00:31:28,034 --> 00:31:30,379
I want you to go upstairs,
take your pain pill,
630
00:31:30,482 --> 00:31:32,620
and call the doctor.
631
00:31:34,068 --> 00:31:35,689
I don't take orders from you.
632
00:31:35,793 --> 00:31:37,551
Will you stop being stubborn?
633
00:31:37,655 --> 00:31:39,310
You're not doing this for me.
634
00:31:39,413 --> 00:31:41,827
You're doing this for yourself
and for the children.
635
00:31:41,931 --> 00:31:45,413
As if anything you say now...
636
00:31:45,517 --> 00:31:48,448
is important...
after everything you've done.
637
00:32:26,241 --> 00:32:29,275
Can I like fangirl ask you
a couple of quick questions,
638
00:32:29,379 --> 00:32:30,965
just like a couple of
little questions?
639
00:32:31,068 --> 00:32:32,931
Please?
640
00:32:33,034 --> 00:32:34,862
Okay. Let's talk acquisitions.
641
00:32:34,965 --> 00:32:37,137
'Cause it seemed like you were
positioned really aggressively,
642
00:32:37,241 --> 00:32:39,448
like you were really
prioritizing growth.
643
00:32:39,551 --> 00:32:41,586
And staffing.
Explain that to me, all right?
644
00:32:41,689 --> 00:32:43,379
How do you hire
high-level executives
645
00:32:43,482 --> 00:32:45,034
and still flying under
the radar like that?
646
00:32:45,137 --> 00:32:46,620
That must have taken
a lot of planning.
647
00:32:46,724 --> 00:32:48,827
Matt, when my father wanted me
to show you around town,
648
00:32:48,931 --> 00:32:50,931
I don't think this is
what he had in mind.
649
00:32:51,034 --> 00:32:52,551
Okay. I think the business world
650
00:32:52,655 --> 00:32:55,000
can manage having
two brilliant minds in it.
651
00:32:55,103 --> 00:32:57,241
Unless...unless you mind me
asking questions.
652
00:32:57,344 --> 00:32:59,724
There's nothing to tell.
There's no reason to tell it.
653
00:32:59,827 --> 00:33:01,862
- Dumas was a mistake.
- Yeah, I find that
654
00:33:01,965 --> 00:33:04,551
that hard to believe.
I refuse to believe that.
655
00:33:04,655 --> 00:33:07,275
You know, if I remember right...
656
00:33:07,379 --> 00:33:09,724
you asked your father
for advice? Is that true?
657
00:33:09,827 --> 00:33:11,586
Did you talk to your old man
like that, or was that
658
00:33:11,689 --> 00:33:15,034
just a hit piece generated
by the Newman Media team?
659
00:33:15,137 --> 00:33:17,551
And you didn't approve of that.
We've been over that, Matt.
660
00:33:17,655 --> 00:33:19,137
Yeah, I didn't. I think that
661
00:33:19,241 --> 00:33:21,586
your tiny little agenda was
showing when you published that.
662
00:33:21,689 --> 00:33:23,517
CANE: The coverage
was conveniently skewed.
663
00:33:23,620 --> 00:33:25,206
Most of it was garbage.
664
00:33:25,310 --> 00:33:27,344
It is amazing
how you can go from
665
00:33:27,448 --> 00:33:29,482
admitting you screwed up
so badly
666
00:33:29,586 --> 00:33:31,724
to blaming us.
667
00:33:31,827 --> 00:33:33,103
MATT: Yeah, right?
668
00:33:33,206 --> 00:33:35,241
Because both of those things
can be true, right?
669
00:33:35,344 --> 00:33:37,965
Not just in business, man,
but life is the same, right?
670
00:33:38,068 --> 00:33:42,068
You do some things right
and then you make some mistakes.
671
00:33:42,172 --> 00:33:44,068
You take missteps along the way.
672
00:33:44,172 --> 00:33:46,103
But the smart people,
the world changers,
673
00:33:46,206 --> 00:33:48,448
they make amends, they adapt.
674
00:33:48,551 --> 00:33:49,965
Can I buy you a drink
sometime, bro,
675
00:33:50,068 --> 00:33:52,000
and you can tell me all about
how you're plotting
676
00:33:52,103 --> 00:33:54,275
your next meteoric rise?
677
00:33:55,551 --> 00:33:57,275
- Maybe.
- MATT: Maybe! I'll take it.
678
00:33:57,379 --> 00:33:58,896
I'll take it.
I'm free right now.
679
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:01,655
- No.
- Ha!
680
00:34:01,758 --> 00:34:03,000
Are we done?
681
00:34:03,103 --> 00:34:04,862
Yeah.
682
00:34:04,965 --> 00:34:06,482
Thanks for meeting me.
683
00:34:07,344 --> 00:34:09,448
CANE: [sarcastic laugh]
684
00:34:15,965 --> 00:34:18,206
How'd I do?
685
00:34:18,310 --> 00:34:19,724
Well enough.
686
00:34:19,827 --> 00:34:21,931
Came on a little strong,
if you ask me.
687
00:34:22,034 --> 00:34:23,724
Yeah.
688
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:27,275
Pop.
689
00:34:27,379 --> 00:34:29,206
VICTOR:
Did Matt do as he was told?
690
00:34:29,310 --> 00:34:30,896
Oh, he did.
691
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:33,275
And he was all in.
692
00:34:38,517 --> 00:34:41,034
You wanna talk about it?
693
00:34:41,137 --> 00:34:45,413
Um, no, I don't want to talk
about it, that's for sure.
694
00:34:45,517 --> 00:34:47,827
Uh, I just pulled myself
together. I'm good!
695
00:34:48,862 --> 00:34:52,034
Okay. Well, I'm always around.
696
00:34:52,137 --> 00:34:54,689
I know you are.
697
00:34:55,724 --> 00:34:57,344
I know you are.
698
00:34:57,448 --> 00:35:00,275
Hey, I'm always around
for you, too,
699
00:35:00,379 --> 00:35:02,724
if you need me.
700
00:35:04,551 --> 00:35:07,379
I'm really excited
about Mariah coming home.
701
00:35:07,482 --> 00:35:09,827
I hope she comes back soon.
702
00:35:11,482 --> 00:35:15,275
I know that will be the case.
I can feel it in my bones.
703
00:35:17,758 --> 00:35:19,965
Well, okay then.

00:35:41,551 --> 00:35:44,482
Yeah. I think we can too.
