1
00:00:07,808 --> 00:00:09,142
Drop Connor off at
baseball practice?
2
00:00:09,243 --> 00:00:11,478
Ah, yes, I sure did.
3
00:00:11,578 --> 00:00:15,849
I also got
our entire summer itinerary.
4
00:00:15,949 --> 00:00:17,518
Apparently,
there are tournaments
5
00:00:17,618 --> 00:00:19,753
all over Wisconsin this summer.
6
00:00:19,853 --> 00:00:23,657
Duluth, Milwaukee, and on to
Green Bay.
7
00:00:23,757 --> 00:00:26,193
Mm. Sounds like we're gonna be
doing a lot of traveling.
8
00:00:26,293 --> 00:00:28,061
Yeah. Well, lucky for us,
9
00:00:28,161 --> 00:00:30,531
our very practical son
created a spreadsheet
10
00:00:30,631 --> 00:00:34,468
so all of the parents can divvy
up the driving responsibilities.
11
00:00:34,568 --> 00:00:37,371
-That's my boy.
-Yeah.
12
00:00:38,472 --> 00:00:41,942
Although, I...I guess I'll be
doing most of the traveling
13
00:00:42,042 --> 00:00:44,645
-for our team.
-Well, I wanna go to the games.
14
00:00:44,745 --> 00:00:47,481
No, I know, Adam, but you've
kind of got your hands full
15
00:00:47,581 --> 00:00:49,716
with all of the other members
of your family lately.
16
00:00:49,816 --> 00:00:53,086
Okay, well,
this one is more important.
17
00:00:53,186 --> 00:00:55,722
I get it. I-I do.
It's just--let's be honest.
18
00:00:55,822 --> 00:00:58,058
You've been putting out
a lot of fires lately.
19
00:00:58,158 --> 00:01:00,794
Between worrying about Nick
and Nikki's health
20
00:01:00,894 --> 00:01:02,863
and Victor just in general,
it's been a lot.
21
00:01:02,963 --> 00:01:04,431
Okay, nothing I can't handle,
22
00:01:04,531 --> 00:01:07,000
and I can watch my son
play baseball too.
23
00:01:08,468 --> 00:01:11,071
Okay. You win.
24
00:01:11,171 --> 00:01:13,674
-Can I show you something?
-Uh, sure.
25
00:01:14,508 --> 00:01:17,110
-What is it?
-I've been coming up with ideas,
26
00:01:17,210 --> 00:01:19,246
how to get Newman Media
back on its feet.
27
00:01:19,346 --> 00:01:22,215
-And--
-Look, I-I...
28
00:01:22,316 --> 00:01:26,386
pitched our idea to my father,
and he shot it down.
29
00:01:26,486 --> 00:01:28,288
-He did?
-Mm-hmm.
30
00:01:28,388 --> 00:01:29,957
Why?
31
00:01:30,057 --> 00:01:33,827
His plan is to get all of the
assets of Newman Media back
32
00:01:33,927 --> 00:01:36,563
by attacking Spectra-Charles
33
00:01:36,663 --> 00:01:38,599
and Sally.
34
00:01:44,972 --> 00:01:46,373
What's the matter, Mom?
35
00:01:46,473 --> 00:01:48,575
-Nothing.
-[sighs]
36
00:01:48,675 --> 00:01:51,111
Well, you've been agitated
all morning.
37
00:01:51,211 --> 00:01:53,480
Well, I can't see anything,
Victoria.
38
00:01:53,580 --> 00:01:56,850
It's enough to frustrate
anybody.
39
00:01:56,950 --> 00:01:59,319
I can't even find the food
on my plate.
40
00:02:02,456 --> 00:02:03,724
I'm sorry.
41
00:02:03,824 --> 00:02:06,126
You don't need to apologize.
42
00:02:06,226 --> 00:02:09,496
No, it's not right for me
to take this out on my family.
43
00:02:09,596 --> 00:02:11,999
Well, you have every right to be
upset about what's happened,
44
00:02:12,099 --> 00:02:14,401
so if you wanna complain
or get angry
45
00:02:14,501 --> 00:02:16,837
or if you wanna throw your plate
across the room,
46
00:02:16,937 --> 00:02:19,072
you can do that--
it's okay with me.
47
00:02:19,172 --> 00:02:21,341
Don't tempt me.
48
00:02:21,441 --> 00:02:23,777
Just gives me a heads up, okay?
So I can duck.
49
00:02:23,877 --> 00:02:26,580
[both chuckling]
50
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,116
I have an idea.
51
00:02:29,216 --> 00:02:32,386
It's a beautiful day out.
Why don't we go for a walk?
52
00:02:32,486 --> 00:02:34,354
We can walk down by the stables.
53
00:02:34,454 --> 00:02:38,291
Yeah, it would be nice
to get a breath of fresh air,
54
00:02:38,392 --> 00:02:41,528
and we can smell the lilies
in bloom.
55
00:02:41,628 --> 00:02:43,530
Ah, yes. It's a date.
56
00:02:43,630 --> 00:02:45,799
Maybe we could ask Dad
to join us.
57
00:02:45,899 --> 00:02:47,434
No. Stop.
58
00:02:47,534 --> 00:02:49,236
What?
59
00:02:49,336 --> 00:02:51,204
Trying to play matchmaker
for your father and me.
60
00:02:51,304 --> 00:02:54,508
Oh, that is literally the last
thing that I'm doing right now.
61
00:02:54,608 --> 00:02:56,977
Victoria, you cannot fool me.
62
00:02:57,077 --> 00:02:58,945
All right.
63
00:02:59,046 --> 00:03:01,982
I'll admit maybe I'm trying to
nudge you a little.
64
00:03:02,082 --> 00:03:04,718
But maybe it wouldn't hurt
to tell Dad
65
00:03:04,818 --> 00:03:06,987
what you told me last night...
66
00:03:07,087 --> 00:03:09,923
about how you appreciate
staying here in your home.
67
00:03:11,224 --> 00:03:14,761
And how he makes you feel
comforted and safe.
68
00:03:14,861 --> 00:03:17,631
Well, I'll tell you.
69
00:03:17,731 --> 00:03:23,236
Your father can be the most
wonderful man in the world
70
00:03:23,336 --> 00:03:25,505
when he chooses to be.
71
00:03:35,082 --> 00:03:36,650
Home sweet home.
72
00:03:36,750 --> 00:03:39,586
That's right. The only thing
missing is your father.
73
00:03:39,686 --> 00:03:41,588
I hated leaving him
at the hospital.
74
00:03:41,688 --> 00:03:43,423
Well, it won't be long.
75
00:03:43,523 --> 00:03:44,891
I could tell
he was feeling better
76
00:03:44,991 --> 00:03:47,427
when he asked us to bring him
empanadas from Society.
77
00:03:47,527 --> 00:03:49,062
He'll be home soon.
78
00:03:49,162 --> 00:03:52,232
I am just ready for this
whole nightmare to be over.
79
00:03:52,332 --> 00:03:53,967
But it is.
80
00:03:54,067 --> 00:03:57,137
You're home. Dad's on his way.
81
00:03:57,237 --> 00:03:59,272
We can put it behind us.
82
00:03:59,372 --> 00:04:03,677
Not yet. Not until we find out
what happens with Patty.
83
00:04:05,278 --> 00:04:10,250
♪♪
84
00:04:37,077 --> 00:04:39,513
You don't think they'll release
Patty on bail, do you?
85
00:04:39,613 --> 00:04:40,881
Pfft? Are you kidding me?
86
00:04:40,981 --> 00:04:42,883
Two counts of attempted murder,
kidnapping?
87
00:04:42,983 --> 00:04:44,684
Mom, how could they
even consider it?
88
00:04:44,785 --> 00:04:46,153
Well, Michael's at her
arraignment,
89
00:04:46,253 --> 00:04:47,587
and why hasn't he called?
90
00:04:47,687 --> 00:04:49,923
Maybe it's just taking the State
a hell of a long time
91
00:04:50,023 --> 00:04:52,592
to run through Patty's
long list of crimes.
92
00:04:52,692 --> 00:04:54,928
Mom, there is no way
93
00:04:55,028 --> 00:04:57,631
she is ever going to see
the outside of a prison again.
94
00:04:57,731 --> 00:05:00,834
I wish I could believe that,
Kyle, but I can't.
95
00:05:00,934 --> 00:05:03,770
She has done too much damage.
She's caused too many problems.
96
00:05:03,870 --> 00:05:06,072
And you know what?
I won't rest easy
97
00:05:06,173 --> 00:05:07,774
until I know for certain
98
00:05:07,874 --> 00:05:10,844
that Patty Williams
is out of our lives forever.
99
00:05:19,186 --> 00:05:21,087
Well, you look about
as happy as I was
100
00:05:21,188 --> 00:05:23,824
when Victor told me about
his new plans for Newman Media.
101
00:05:23,924 --> 00:05:26,426
I was looking forward to
building something new
102
00:05:26,526 --> 00:05:30,497
and exciting, not being part of
Victor's endless revenge tour.
103
00:05:30,597 --> 00:05:32,132
Mm-hmm. Same.
104
00:05:32,232 --> 00:05:34,167
-So he didn't listen to you?
-Oh ho.
105
00:05:34,267 --> 00:05:36,570
He listened. Politely.
106
00:05:36,670 --> 00:05:38,572
You know,
the way that people listen
107
00:05:38,672 --> 00:05:40,507
when they've already
made up their mind
108
00:05:40,607 --> 00:05:42,475
and they're just waiting
for you to stop talking.
109
00:05:42,576 --> 00:05:45,745
God. When is it gonna stop?
110
00:05:45,846 --> 00:05:48,181
Never. It's not gonna stop,
Chelsea.
111
00:05:48,281 --> 00:05:51,985
Victor's like a shark,
always stalking his next meal.
112
00:05:53,887 --> 00:05:56,189
Look, I tried to sell him
on the idea
113
00:05:56,289 --> 00:05:57,891
of us rebuilding Newman Media,
114
00:05:57,991 --> 00:05:59,893
new and different and bold.
115
00:05:59,993 --> 00:06:01,595
Let me guess what he said.
116
00:06:01,695 --> 00:06:02,963
Why go to all the trouble
117
00:06:03,063 --> 00:06:05,165
when I can just take
someone else's company?
118
00:06:05,265 --> 00:06:07,167
He doesn't see it
as taking something.
119
00:06:07,267 --> 00:06:10,003
He sees it as taking back
something that was already his.
120
00:06:10,103 --> 00:06:13,373
And he's not entirely wrong
about that.
121
00:06:13,473 --> 00:06:16,443
But Sally will get hurt.
And Billy.
122
00:06:16,543 --> 00:06:21,047
The fact that Billy's attached
just sweetens the pot for him.
123
00:06:22,048 --> 00:06:25,452
Right, but...we don't want that,
Adam, right?
124
00:06:25,552 --> 00:06:27,587
I mean, that's what
you said to him?
125
00:06:27,687 --> 00:06:32,058
I told him. But he responded
in typical Victor fashion.
126
00:06:32,158 --> 00:06:35,328
You either get on board or you
get the hell out of the way.
127

-Good morning.
-Oh.
128
00:06:39,032 --> 00:06:40,166
Good morning.
129
00:06:41,468 --> 00:06:43,803
Did you sleep well?
130
00:06:43,904 --> 00:06:46,740
I was concerned that you
might not be comfortable
131
00:06:46,840 --> 00:06:50,210
in the guest bedroom.
132
00:06:50,310 --> 00:06:53,546
No, I was very comfortable.
Thank you. Um...
133
00:06:53,647 --> 00:06:55,715
I'm doing just fine.
134
00:06:55,815 --> 00:06:58,685
You know my offer stands that...
135
00:06:58,785 --> 00:07:00,754
I move into the guest bedroom
136
00:07:00,854 --> 00:07:03,456
and you move to
the major bedroom.
137
00:07:03,556 --> 00:07:07,560
I don't want to put you out
any more than I already have.
138
00:07:08,628 --> 00:07:11,031
All right. As you wish.
139
00:07:11,131 --> 00:07:13,133
Uh, Mom and I were
thinking about
140
00:07:13,233 --> 00:07:15,101
taking a walk around the ranch
141
00:07:15,201 --> 00:07:16,970
and we were gonna go visit
the horses.
142
00:07:17,070 --> 00:07:19,806
Would you, uh,
would you care to join us?
143
00:07:19,906 --> 00:07:22,409
Uh, not this time, but you know,
144
00:07:22,509 --> 00:07:25,111
I think it's a wonderful idea
for you to take a walk.
145
00:07:25,211 --> 00:07:27,514
But please be careful.
146
00:07:27,614 --> 00:07:30,417
Victoria's been taking
very good care of me.
147
00:07:30,517 --> 00:07:33,687
But I'm hoping I'm not going to
need this amount of attention
148
00:07:33,787 --> 00:07:35,322
for much longer.
149
00:07:35,422 --> 00:07:37,324
When are you going to see
your doctor?
150
00:07:37,424 --> 00:07:41,428
I find out today
when the bandages come off.
151
00:07:41,528 --> 00:07:45,298
I'd like to be there
when that happens.
152
00:07:48,668 --> 00:07:50,737
I would like that too.
153
00:07:51,905 --> 00:07:54,140
I can't believe she actually
lived here, Kyle.
154
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:56,042
She didn't. Not really.
155
00:07:56,142 --> 00:07:58,244
Dad just tricked her
into moving in
156
00:07:58,345 --> 00:08:00,747
so we could find out where
you were. That's all it was.
157
00:08:00,847 --> 00:08:03,583
Well, I know that's why
Patty was here.
158
00:08:03,683 --> 00:08:06,252
But it still makes my skin crawl
that she was, you know,
159

walking around upstairs,
eating at our breakfast table.
160

It's like
she's this dark presence

00:08:10,290 --> 00:08:11,958
that's haunting the place.
162
00:08:12,058 --> 00:08:13,827
Okay. We'll buy some sage.

Don't think
I haven't thought of that.

-What?

174
00:08:43,690 --> 00:08:45,592
-Okay.
-No, no, I'm sorry, Michael.
175
00:08:45,692 --> 00:08:47,127
I'm just--
I'm just a little anxious.
176
00:08:47,227 --> 00:08:49,562
Completely understandable after
everything you've been through.
177
00:08:49,662 --> 00:08:52,032
-So?
-So...
178
00:08:53,133 --> 00:08:55,869
Christine laid out
a devastating case against her,
179
00:08:55,969 --> 00:08:58,638
not only in terms of her
attacking you and Jack,
180
00:08:58,738 --> 00:09:00,707
but with everything else
she did in her past.
181
00:09:00,807 --> 00:09:02,642
It was a gift
that kept on giving.
182
00:09:02,742 --> 00:09:04,711
-Didn't I tell you?
-Yeah, yeah.
183
00:09:04,811 --> 00:09:07,147
Even with all that, it was
still touch and go for a while.
184
00:09:07,247 --> 00:09:09,349
What do you mean, touch and go?
185
00:09:09,449 --> 00:09:11,418
Patty had a public defender,
but that didn't keep her
186
00:09:11,518 --> 00:09:13,253
from addressing the judge
directly,
187
00:09:13,353 --> 00:09:15,855
which she did at length,
which is why I'm late.
188
00:09:15,955 --> 00:09:18,425
And Christine
didn't object to that?
189
00:09:18,525 --> 00:09:20,927
Mm. Christine did exactly
what I would have done
190
00:09:21,027 --> 00:09:22,796
if I had a defendant like Patty.
191
00:09:22,896 --> 00:09:25,799
She let her talk...
and talk and talk!
192
00:09:25,899 --> 00:09:28,001
And talk some more.
193
00:09:28,101 --> 00:09:29,836
She gave her just enough rope
to hang herself,
194
00:09:29,936 --> 00:09:31,237
and of course, Patty did,
195
00:09:31,337 --> 00:09:34,174
and then when things started
not going Patty's way...
196
00:09:34,274 --> 00:09:37,477
oh, she turned like milk.
She became herself.
197
00:09:37,577 --> 00:09:38,945
-Meaning?
-Ugh.
198
00:09:39,045 --> 00:09:40,480
Shouts, threats, the bailiff
had to restrain her.
199
00:09:40,580 --> 00:09:41,881
-It was a circus!
-KYLE: So no bail?
200
00:09:41,981 --> 00:09:43,550
-No bail.
-Thank God.
201
00:09:43,650 --> 00:09:45,251
There was never gonna be
any bail, Diane!
202
00:09:45,351 --> 00:09:47,120
Oh, come on. I know
that's what everybody said,
203
00:09:47,220 --> 00:09:49,856
but I have seen that woman lie
and trick her way out of trouble
204
00:09:49,956 --> 00:09:52,525
too many times
to take anything for granted.
205
00:09:52,625 --> 00:09:56,329
Well, she didn't this time,
and I have a very strong feeling
206
00:09:56,429 --> 00:09:59,099
that this time
is the last time for Patty.
207
00:09:59,199 --> 00:10:02,235
Okay, um, I need to
take care of something,
208
00:10:02,335 --> 00:10:04,337
so I'll leave the two of you
to talk.
209
00:10:04,437 --> 00:10:05,939
Thank you, Michael.
210
00:10:06,039 --> 00:10:07,240
Anytime.
211
00:10:07,340 --> 00:10:09,042
I'm glad you're home safe.
212
00:10:09,142 --> 00:10:10,376
Thanks to you.
213
00:10:10,477 --> 00:10:12,345
You saved my life. Twice.
214
00:10:12,445 --> 00:10:14,347
Oh, I don't know about that.
215
00:10:14,447 --> 00:10:16,349
I think I saved
Laurence Markham's life.
216
00:10:16,449 --> 00:10:18,118
He's no match for you.
217
00:10:18,218 --> 00:10:20,019
I love you, Kyle.
218
00:10:21,988 --> 00:10:24,023
I love you, Mom. Bye.
219
00:10:44,944 --> 00:10:46,546
MICHAEL: You're sure you're
up for company this morning?
220
00:10:46,646 --> 00:10:48,681
I'm fine.
221
00:10:48,781 --> 00:10:50,183
Mm. Fine.
222
00:10:50,283 --> 00:10:53,019
You were literally attacked
last night.
223
00:10:53,119 --> 00:10:56,156
You were kidnapped and held
captive for days before that,
224
00:10:56,256 --> 00:10:59,325
so I think "fine"--fine might be
a little aspirational for you
225
00:10:59,425 --> 00:11:01,628
at this point.
226
00:11:01,728 --> 00:11:05,064
-What do you want me to say?
-The truth.
227
00:11:05,165 --> 00:11:07,367
You don't have to pretend
with me.
228
00:11:08,735 --> 00:11:10,737
The truth? Uh...
229
00:11:10,837 --> 00:11:14,307
the truth is that I'm exhausted.
230
00:11:14,407 --> 00:11:17,477
I am physically, mentally,
231
00:11:17,577 --> 00:11:19,345
and emotionally exhausted.
232
00:11:19,445 --> 00:11:22,148
And I-I think
I'm just trying to process
233
00:11:22,248 --> 00:11:24,851
everything
that's happened to me.
234
00:11:24,951 --> 00:11:27,453
-That might take a bit of time.
-Yeah.
235
00:11:27,554 --> 00:11:29,222
Well, you know me.
236
00:11:29,322 --> 00:11:31,324
Always trying to
hurry things along, you know,
237
00:11:31,424 --> 00:11:35,261
solve one problem
and move on to the next.
238
00:11:35,361 --> 00:11:37,730
Speaking of which,
has Christine agreed
239
00:11:37,830 --> 00:11:39,632
to drop all charges against me?
240
00:11:39,732 --> 00:11:41,401
-Of course she has.
-Well, I didn't
241
00:11:41,501 --> 00:11:43,203
-wanna make any assumptions.
-No, once she had
242
00:11:43,303 --> 00:11:45,872
Jack's statement and figured out
what Patty was up to,
243
00:11:45,972 --> 00:11:47,540
it all went away.
244
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:50,009
It should never have gotten
that far in the first place,
245
00:11:50,109 --> 00:11:53,179
-in my opinion.
-Well, Patty's pretty shifty.
246
00:11:53,279 --> 00:11:55,882
Yeah, well, now she's shifty
and locked up.
247
00:11:55,982 --> 00:11:57,951
A situation
she's likely to remain in
248
00:11:58,051 --> 00:11:59,919
for the rest of her days.
249
00:12:00,019 --> 00:12:02,956
I...I just hope that
that's true.
250
00:12:03,056 --> 00:12:04,757
I'll make sure it's true.
251
00:12:04,857 --> 00:12:06,326
She even looks at the exit,
252
00:12:06,426 --> 00:12:09,195
I'll be on her like a monkey
on a cupcake.
253
00:12:10,263 --> 00:12:13,299
Thank you for doing all this
for me, Michael.
254
00:12:13,399 --> 00:12:15,602
I really couldn't ask for
a better attorney
255
00:12:15,702 --> 00:12:18,238
or a better friend.
256
00:12:24,510 --> 00:12:27,213
Well, the answer is no.
257
00:12:27,313 --> 00:12:31,584
Victor can go play his revenge
game without me on board.
258
00:12:31,684 --> 00:12:34,387
I assumed that's what your take
would be on it.
259
00:12:34,487 --> 00:12:36,556
Well, isn't it yours?
260
00:12:36,656 --> 00:12:39,559
We both agreed
it would be cruel and spiteful
261
00:12:39,659 --> 00:12:41,494
to do something like that
to Billy and Sally,
262
00:12:41,594 --> 00:12:43,162
especially now
that they're about to
263
00:12:43,263 --> 00:12:44,597
-start a family together.
-I know.
264
00:12:44,697 --> 00:12:46,699
And I'm not backing away
from that.
265
00:12:46,799 --> 00:12:49,769
Good! Because we don't need
Victor, Adam.
266
00:12:49,869 --> 00:12:52,005
We have everything we need
right here
267
00:12:52,105 --> 00:12:54,073
to start our own company
and make it amazing,
268
00:12:54,173 --> 00:12:56,009
make it everything
we wanted before
269
00:12:56,109 --> 00:12:58,244
without the--the pettiness
and vindictiveness.
270
00:12:58,344 --> 00:13:00,146
Okay, let's just calm down
for a minute.
271
00:13:00,246 --> 00:13:02,649
-I can't calm down! I'm angry.
-Chelsea!
272
00:13:03,850 --> 00:13:04,984
Look at me.
273
00:13:06,719 --> 00:13:09,022
My point is nothing that I was
gonna say in that moment
274
00:13:09,122 --> 00:13:10,890
was gonna make a difference.
275
00:13:10,990 --> 00:13:14,627
Victor is dug in.
He's not gonna change his mind.
276
00:13:14,727 --> 00:13:16,696
At least not now.
277
00:13:16,796 --> 00:13:19,465
What do you mean...
at least not now?
278
00:13:19,565 --> 00:13:22,235
Okay. You think
that we don't need Victor.
279
00:13:22,335 --> 00:13:24,203
I'm saying it would be
a hell of a lot easier
280
00:13:24,304 --> 00:13:27,607
to get what we want
if he helps us.
281
00:13:27,707 --> 00:13:29,375
But not under his conditions.
282
00:13:29,475 --> 00:13:31,044
Exactly.
283
00:13:31,144 --> 00:13:33,579
So what are we supposed to do,
just...
284
00:13:33,680 --> 00:13:36,549
sit around and wait for him
to turn into another person?
285
00:13:36,649 --> 00:13:39,485
No. We wait until the rawness
286
00:13:39,585 --> 00:13:42,522
of what he just went through
lessens.
287
00:13:42,622 --> 00:13:44,724
Okay? He just almost lost
everything, Chelsea.
288
00:13:44,824 --> 00:13:46,959
It scared him.
And I think that's where
289
00:13:47,060 --> 00:13:49,562
a lot of this payback stuff
is coming from.
290
00:13:49,662 --> 00:13:52,165
He needs to show the world
who he is.
291
00:13:54,667 --> 00:13:57,470
Okay, so he got scared.
And that's why he's lashing out.
292
00:13:57,570 --> 00:13:59,972
And listen, I have a lot of
compassion for your father
293
00:14:00,073 --> 00:14:02,208
and everything he's been through
over the past few months.
294
00:14:02,308 --> 00:14:05,078
But if you really think
that he's about to calm down,
295
00:14:05,178 --> 00:14:06,913
you're being very naive.
296
00:14:07,013 --> 00:14:08,781
And why would you say that?
297
00:14:08,881 --> 00:14:11,017
Because Victor would never
pass up an opportunity
298
00:14:11,117 --> 00:14:13,119
to hurt Billy Abbott.
299
00:14:13,219 --> 00:14:16,489
And going after Sally
is the best way to do it.
300
00:14:21,294 --> 00:14:23,796
Send him in.
301
00:14:42,548 --> 00:14:45,985
If you're asking me to have
sympathy for Billy Abbott--
302
00:14:46,085 --> 00:14:48,121
I'm not asking that.
303
00:14:48,221 --> 00:14:50,056
I'm just stating a fact.
304
00:14:50,156 --> 00:14:53,593
Victor hates him, and that's why
he's never gonna let this go.
305
00:14:53,693 --> 00:14:56,229
If you look at this
from my dad's perspective,
306
00:14:56,329 --> 00:14:59,599
he has every reason
to go after Billy
307
00:14:59,699 --> 00:15:01,534
who was a very willing
foot soldier
308
00:15:01,634 --> 00:15:04,470
in Cane and Phyllis's attack
against Newman Enterprises.
309
00:15:04,570 --> 00:15:06,439
No one's arguing that.
310
00:15:06,539 --> 00:15:09,442
But Sally is gonna take the hit
right alongside him.
311
00:15:09,542 --> 00:15:13,946
Okay, and that is a great reason
why I'm not for that plan.
312
00:15:14,046 --> 00:15:16,182
And if it was just Billy,
though, you'd be fine?
313
00:15:16,282 --> 00:15:18,050
Listen, I'm not gonna pretend
314
00:15:18,151 --> 00:15:19,952
that I give a damn about
Billy Abbott.
315
00:15:20,052 --> 00:15:23,723
He is and he will always be
his own worst enemy.
316
00:15:25,224 --> 00:15:28,194
Reminds me of someone else
I used to know.
317
00:15:28,294 --> 00:15:29,695
Yeah?
318
00:15:29,796 --> 00:15:33,232
Well, that someone grew up
319
00:15:33,332 --> 00:15:36,202
and realized their priorities
in life.
320
00:15:36,302 --> 00:15:39,038
With the help of an amazing
partner.
321
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:43,810
And I really do hope Sally
is that for Billy--
322
00:15:43,910 --> 00:15:45,711
for her sake, not for his.
323
00:15:45,812 --> 00:15:48,147
So I guess I am cheering them on
324
00:15:48,247 --> 00:15:51,451
because she deserves
to be happy.
325
00:15:52,318 --> 00:15:55,188
Okay. You're not gonna like
what I'm about to say, but...
326
00:15:56,856 --> 00:15:59,759
Billy deserves to be happy too.
327
00:15:59,859 --> 00:16:02,795
He's in a good place, Adam.
He's focused on his family.
328
00:16:02,895 --> 00:16:05,231
He's not obsessing over
Chancellor anymore.
329
00:16:05,331 --> 00:16:07,066
I would just hate to see Victor
330
00:16:07,166 --> 00:16:09,769
take a wrecking ball
to his new life.
331
00:16:13,005 --> 00:16:16,843
Okay, well, that brings us
back to square one.
332
00:16:16,943 --> 00:16:19,245
So where do we go from here?
333
00:16:19,345 --> 00:16:21,481
It's easy.
334
00:16:21,581 --> 00:16:23,416
We stop Victor.
335
00:16:25,551 --> 00:16:27,119
VICTOR: So, Kyle,
336
00:16:27,220 --> 00:16:30,089
tell me what brings you by.
337
00:16:30,189 --> 00:16:32,458
I assume you've heard
about my father?
338
00:16:32,558 --> 00:16:35,094
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah, yeah.
339
00:16:35,194 --> 00:16:37,897
Poor guy. How's he recovering?
340
00:16:37,997 --> 00:16:41,200
He's doing all right.
No thanks to you.
341
00:16:41,300 --> 00:16:44,437
-What do I have to do with it?
-Come on, Victor.
342
00:16:44,537 --> 00:16:46,005
You have everything
to do with it.
343
00:16:46,105 --> 00:16:49,041
You brought Patty to town
and back into my father's life.
344
00:16:49,141 --> 00:16:51,277
Oh!
345
00:16:51,377 --> 00:16:53,679
I plum forgot.
346
00:16:53,779 --> 00:16:56,949
I forced your dad to have sex
with Patty Williams!
347
00:16:57,049 --> 00:17:00,486
I forgot. Then I asked you
and the rest of the family,
348
00:17:00,586 --> 00:17:02,421
you know,
to catch him in the act.
349
00:17:02,522 --> 00:17:04,056
Now, that's a hell of a coup
on my part.
350
00:17:04,156 --> 00:17:06,526
Yeah. None of this happens
without you, Victor.
351
00:17:06,626 --> 00:17:08,294
We can agree on that much.
352
00:17:08,394 --> 00:17:10,663
We don't agree on a damn thing.
353
00:17:10,763 --> 00:17:13,165
Now, I'm tired of you
coming here and telling me
354
00:17:13,266 --> 00:17:15,501
that I'm responsible for
the lack of a commitment
355
00:17:15,601 --> 00:17:18,304
-between your parents.
-A lack of commitment?
356
00:17:18,404 --> 00:17:20,206
My parents are doing just fine.
357
00:17:20,306 --> 00:17:22,375
-Oh, really?
-My dad's making a full recovery
358
00:17:22,475 --> 00:17:26,045
and my mom is right there
by his side...so it didn't work.
359
00:17:26,145 --> 00:17:28,814
Oh, that warms the cockles
of my heart.
360
00:17:28,915 --> 00:17:31,584
Hey, uh, where's Nikki,
by the way?
361
00:17:32,652 --> 00:17:35,087
-You're overstepping right now.
-No, no, no. Don't get me wrong.
362
00:17:35,187 --> 00:17:37,557
I just figured since
we were having a conversation
363
00:17:37,657 --> 00:17:39,058
about morality and commitment,
364
00:17:39,158 --> 00:17:41,427
I should ask how it's working
out on your side of the street.
365
00:17:41,527 --> 00:17:42,828
And I told you
you're overstepping.
366
00:17:42,929 --> 00:17:45,598
And if you don't leave
the premises voluntarily,
367
00:17:45,698 --> 00:17:47,567
I may have you removed.
368
00:17:47,667 --> 00:17:50,603
You can do whatever you want.
You're Victor Newman, after all,
369
00:17:50,703 --> 00:17:54,040
but I will keep coming back
370
00:17:54,140 --> 00:17:57,043
and I will remind you
that payback goes both ways.
371
00:17:57,143 --> 00:18:00,179
Please, no empty threats,
all right?
372
00:18:00,279 --> 00:18:04,483
No threats,
because time is on my side.
373
00:18:04,584 --> 00:18:07,086
And one day,
the opportunity will come around
374
00:18:07,186 --> 00:18:11,357
for me to do to you what you
have done to so many others.
375
00:18:11,457 --> 00:18:15,027
Now, I used to know
a different version of you.
376
00:18:15,127 --> 00:18:18,030
A man I looked up to,
admired even.
377
00:18:18,965 --> 00:18:21,334
So where did that man go?
378
00:18:21,434 --> 00:18:24,503
What happened to that guy?
379
00:18:25,938 --> 00:18:29,508
I don't know why I keep
telling everyone I'm okay.
380
00:18:31,010 --> 00:18:32,878
You don't wanna worry anyone.
381
00:18:32,979 --> 00:18:36,182
Yeah, but I think
I'm also in a bit of denial
382
00:18:36,282 --> 00:18:38,584
about everything I went through.
383
00:18:39,585 --> 00:18:44,690
I mean, I was...I was locked up
in a man's home, Michael.
384
00:18:44,790 --> 00:18:46,158
And I was scared.
385
00:18:46,258 --> 00:18:49,328
I was really scared, but
I couldn't show it, you know?
386
00:18:49,428 --> 00:18:51,263
I had to--I had to play along
387
00:18:51,364 --> 00:18:53,399
with Patty's
demented psychiatrist.
388
00:18:53,499 --> 00:18:56,202
I had to--I had to pretend
to trust him
389
00:18:56,302 --> 00:18:59,405
until I could figure out
a way to get out of there.
390
00:18:59,505 --> 00:19:02,074
Okay. All right. Um...
391
00:19:02,174 --> 00:19:04,310
Look at me.
392
00:19:04,410 --> 00:19:06,879
You did what you had to do.
393
00:19:06,979 --> 00:19:10,616
You did what I would have
expected you to do.
394
00:19:11,450 --> 00:19:14,687
And it was smart, and it worked.
395
00:19:14,787 --> 00:19:18,457
I know, but in doing so,
I was...
396
00:19:18,557 --> 00:19:20,292
you know,
I was forced to talk about
397
00:19:20,393 --> 00:19:24,997
what happened between
Jack and Patty on the yacht,
398
00:19:25,097 --> 00:19:26,866
and it was pretty painful.
399
00:19:26,966 --> 00:19:30,269
You know, I was just
sharing my feelings with him
400
00:19:30,369 --> 00:19:33,205
to appear vulnerable, but I...
401
00:19:33,305 --> 00:19:36,075
I became vulnerable, and I-I--
402
00:19:36,175 --> 00:19:39,145
[scoffs] I confronted thoughts
about my marriage
403
00:19:39,245 --> 00:19:42,381
that I had never spoken out loud
to anyone,
404
00:19:42,481 --> 00:19:44,817
not even to myself,
if that makes any sense.
405
00:19:44,917 --> 00:19:48,187
No, no. I know how angry
you were with Jack.
406
00:19:49,689 --> 00:19:52,191
And it wasn't completely
irrational.
407
00:19:52,291 --> 00:19:55,895
I mean, I know that Patty
drugged him.
408
00:19:55,995 --> 00:19:58,364
But I couldn't get past it.
Like I couldn't...
409
00:19:58,464 --> 00:20:02,368
I couldn't unsee what I saw--
the two of them in bed together.
410
00:20:02,468 --> 00:20:05,738
And what's so weird is that,
you know,
411
00:20:05,838 --> 00:20:08,974
by talking to Markham about it,
I finally realized
412
00:20:09,075 --> 00:20:12,211
just why it had brought
so much up for me.
413
00:20:13,546 --> 00:20:16,982
Do you...
still have doubts about Jack?
414
00:20:18,084 --> 00:20:20,986
No.
415
00:20:21,087 --> 00:20:24,023
No, I think the one, uh,
the one good thing
416
00:20:24,123 --> 00:20:27,593
to come out of this
whole ordeal is, um,
417
00:20:27,693 --> 00:20:30,629
the realization that I love Jack
418
00:20:30,730 --> 00:20:33,399
much more than I hate
what he did.
419
00:20:33,499 --> 00:20:36,435
I mean, there's still...
there's still pain.
420
00:20:36,535 --> 00:20:38,938
But, um...
421
00:20:39,038 --> 00:20:41,240
I think we'll be able
to work through it
422
00:20:41,340 --> 00:20:45,044
and I think we'll be able
to heal together.
423
00:20:52,618 --> 00:20:53,786
VICTORIA:
The chair's right here.
424
00:20:53,886 --> 00:20:54,920
Okay, thank you.
425
00:20:55,020 --> 00:20:56,255
All right. You good?
426
00:21:00,493 --> 00:21:02,628
Oh, Nikki.
427
00:21:02,728 --> 00:21:04,597
Nikki, hi.
428
00:21:04,697 --> 00:21:06,866
Oh, good morning, Esther.
429
00:21:06,966 --> 00:21:09,668
Sharon told me about
your operation.
430
00:21:09,769 --> 00:21:11,971
I-I've been praying for you.
431
00:21:12,838 --> 00:21:14,039
Well, thank you.
432
00:21:14,140 --> 00:21:17,643
I can use all the prayers
I can get these days.
433
00:21:17,743 --> 00:21:20,279
What do the doctors say?
434
00:21:20,379 --> 00:21:23,215
We'll know more when
the bandages finally come off,
435
00:21:23,315 --> 00:21:25,251
but we're hopeful.
436
00:21:25,351 --> 00:21:26,986
You do know that you have
437
00:21:27,086 --> 00:21:29,588
a guardian angel up there,
don't you?
438
00:21:29,688 --> 00:21:31,423
Because I believe that Mrs. C
439
00:21:31,524 --> 00:21:34,126
is looking down at you
right now and--
440
00:21:34,226 --> 00:21:36,829
[stammers]
Oh, when I say "looking"
441
00:21:36,929 --> 00:21:41,367
what I meant was, uh,
you know, uh...all-seeing!
442
00:21:42,501 --> 00:21:43,936
Oh, which is even worse.
443
00:21:44,036 --> 00:21:46,071
Why can't I keep
my big mouth shut?
444
00:21:46,172 --> 00:21:48,140
I'm sorry.
445
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:49,875
It's fine, Esther.
446
00:21:49,975 --> 00:21:54,213
I like to think that Katherine
is looking down on all of us.
447
00:21:54,313 --> 00:21:57,550
Okay, well,
I-I'll get you your tea.
448
00:21:59,251 --> 00:22:01,220
It's on the house.
449
00:22:03,956 --> 00:22:06,025
She means well.
450
00:22:06,125 --> 00:22:08,160
I'm not upset about
what Esther said.
451
00:22:08,260 --> 00:22:10,296
But you seem a little upset.
452
00:22:10,396 --> 00:22:12,798
I'm just frustrated, Victoria.
453
00:22:15,601 --> 00:22:17,770
I'm a little angry at myself.
454
00:22:17,870 --> 00:22:19,471
Angry? Why?
455
00:22:19,572 --> 00:22:23,275
I took so much for granted
when I had my sight.
456
00:22:23,375 --> 00:22:24,844
I would wake up every morning
457
00:22:24,944 --> 00:22:26,879
and the whole world
would be in front of me
458
00:22:26,979 --> 00:22:29,215
in beautiful, vivid colors.
459
00:22:30,616 --> 00:22:32,785
And I miss it.
460
00:22:32,885 --> 00:22:37,356
I-I miss seeing the flowers.
I miss the sunsets.
461
00:22:38,524 --> 00:22:41,493
I miss seeing my children's
and grandchildren's faces.
462
00:22:42,561 --> 00:22:44,430
-What if I never get--
-Mom.
463
00:22:44,530 --> 00:22:46,165
-Mom, don't.
-Victoria,
464
00:22:46,265 --> 00:22:49,435
it's possible that I could
never get my sight back.
465
00:22:49,535 --> 00:22:51,871
Mom, I believe that you will,
466
00:22:51,971 --> 00:22:54,673
and I believe that you will
very soon.
467
00:22:54,773 --> 00:22:57,543
You need to believe that too.
468
00:22:57,643 --> 00:23:00,779
Please, Mom, don't give up.
469
00:23:04,650 --> 00:23:06,986
You're not sure how to
handle this, are you?
470
00:23:08,554 --> 00:23:10,489
I am thinking about it.
471
00:23:10,589 --> 00:23:12,491
Well, then, don't.
472
00:23:12,591 --> 00:23:14,260
Let me take the lead
473
00:23:14,360 --> 00:23:17,963
in rebuilding Newman Media
in our image, not Victor's.
474
00:23:19,832 --> 00:23:22,701
And--and you're gonna
tell him that?
475
00:23:22,801 --> 00:23:25,204
Yeah! Why not?
476
00:23:25,304 --> 00:23:28,374
And when he says no...
477
00:23:28,474 --> 00:23:30,576
I haven't figured out
that part yet.
478
00:23:30,676 --> 00:23:32,111
Neither have I.
479
00:23:32,211 --> 00:23:35,047
That's why
I'm thinking about it.
480
00:23:39,418 --> 00:23:41,620
Any ideas so far?
481
00:23:43,155 --> 00:23:45,457
Well...
482
00:23:45,557 --> 00:23:48,060
first of all, you're not gonna
go in there by yourself.
483
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:50,796
We're gonna go in there
as a team.
484
00:23:50,896 --> 00:23:53,299
I really like that idea.
485
00:23:54,466 --> 00:23:56,568
And we can't just go in there
and tell Victor
486
00:23:56,669 --> 00:23:58,003
that we don't want Newman Media.
487
00:23:58,103 --> 00:24:00,639
We need to make a strong case
for why we don't need it.
488
00:24:00,739 --> 00:24:02,341
Have a business plan, yeah.
489
00:24:02,441 --> 00:24:04,109
On steroids.
490
00:24:04,209 --> 00:24:07,813
Facts, figures, projections--
the whole deal.
491
00:24:07,913 --> 00:24:10,582
And hopefully, he's gonna think
it's impressive enough
492
00:24:10,683 --> 00:24:13,752
that he stops talking about
taking Newman Media back,
493
00:24:13,852 --> 00:24:16,355
but I can't guarantee it.
494
00:24:19,091 --> 00:24:23,796
Did I just hear you two talking
about taking Newman Media back?
495
00:24:23,896 --> 00:24:25,497
What is that about?
496
00:24:30,302 --> 00:24:32,871
-VICTOR: That makes me laugh.
-Yeah?
497
00:24:32,972 --> 00:24:34,373
What's so funny?
498
00:24:34,473 --> 00:24:38,377
Well, your attempts at trying to
tell me what makes me click.
499
00:24:38,477 --> 00:24:40,279
I'm not trying to do anything.
500
00:24:40,379 --> 00:24:42,748
I just used to know
a different version of you
501
00:24:42,848 --> 00:24:46,585
before you...curdled into
whatever it is you are now.
502
00:24:46,685 --> 00:24:50,689
And I knew a young man
who had a semblance of promise
503
00:24:50,789 --> 00:24:53,025
until he made
the fateful decision
504
00:24:53,125 --> 00:24:54,827
to follow in
the failing footsteps
505
00:24:54,927 --> 00:24:57,329
of his incompetent father.
506
00:24:57,429 --> 00:24:59,198
Stop kidding yourself,
young man.
507
00:24:59,298 --> 00:25:02,067
You know how many people
have tried to take me down?
508
00:25:02,167 --> 00:25:05,170
Where are they now?
Where's your family?
509
00:25:05,270 --> 00:25:07,172
Weak! Disoriented!
510
00:25:07,272 --> 00:25:11,210
Have you seen me
gloat at your father's bedside
511
00:25:11,310 --> 00:25:14,480
the way he gloated at me
when I lost temporary control
512
00:25:14,580 --> 00:25:17,116
of Newman Enterprises?
513
00:25:17,216 --> 00:25:18,751
Get ahold of yourself, son.
514
00:25:18,851 --> 00:25:22,454
Any attempt at putting me down
is useless!
515
00:25:22,554 --> 00:25:25,357
Your psychoanalysis
is ridiculous!
516
00:25:25,457 --> 00:25:28,894
If I were you, I'd go home,
be the ineffectual son
517
00:25:28,994 --> 00:25:30,596
your family wants you to be
518
00:25:30,696 --> 00:25:33,098
instead of the man
you could have been!
519
00:25:33,198 --> 00:25:37,669
If that's being a man
like you, Victor...no, thanks.
520
00:25:37,770 --> 00:25:39,571
I like having a soul.
521
00:25:39,671 --> 00:25:41,507
I don't take pleasure
in hurting people
522
00:25:41,607 --> 00:25:45,010
except for when it comes to you,
and that day is coming.
523
00:25:45,110 --> 00:25:49,048
So you can keep pretending
I am someone you can flick away,
524
00:25:49,148 --> 00:25:51,250
but I will come back,
and I promise you
525
00:25:51,350 --> 00:25:53,018
an Abbott will take you down.
526
00:25:53,118 --> 00:25:55,954
Shiver me timbers! My goodness.
527
00:25:56,055 --> 00:25:58,123
I can hardly wait.
528
00:25:58,223 --> 00:26:00,492
Now, show yourself out.
529
00:26:07,366 --> 00:26:09,802
I am happy to hear that you and
Jack are working to get past
530
00:26:09,902 --> 00:26:11,870
all the damage patty caused.
531
00:26:11,970 --> 00:26:14,406
Well, our marriage
is only part of it.
532
00:26:14,506 --> 00:26:16,141
Oh, hell. What do you mean?
533
00:26:16,241 --> 00:26:18,243
Well, I know Patty
was denied bail.
534
00:26:18,343 --> 00:26:20,712
But we both know
how clever she is.
535
00:26:20,813 --> 00:26:23,148
I mean, what if they
throw her into prison
536
00:26:23,248 --> 00:26:25,117
and then she somehow
manages to convince them
537
00:26:25,217 --> 00:26:27,019
that she's had another
psychological break
538
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:28,987
and then they put her
into another hospital?
539
00:26:29,088 --> 00:26:31,457
All right, all right.
That's not likely to happen.
540
00:26:31,557 --> 00:26:33,759
-Well, why not?
-Because she clearly
541
00:26:33,859 --> 00:26:36,095
should not have been sent
to some cushy private hospital
542
00:26:36,195 --> 00:26:37,729
in the first place.
543
00:26:37,830 --> 00:26:40,933
And she wasn't, at first.
But Patty being Patty,
544
00:26:41,033 --> 00:26:43,335
she somehow managed to
talk her way out of
545
00:26:43,435 --> 00:26:46,705
high-security hospital
for the criminally insane
546
00:26:46,805 --> 00:26:48,841
into Laurence Markham's care.
547
00:26:48,941 --> 00:26:50,742
And if she did it once,
she can do it again.
548
00:26:50,843 --> 00:26:53,512
And by the way, uh,
what's going on with Markham?
549
00:26:53,612 --> 00:26:55,481
Have the police
brought him in yet?
550
00:26:55,581 --> 00:26:59,251
Not yet. There's a warrant
for his arrest, but they have--
551
00:26:59,351 --> 00:27:01,320
But they can't find him?
552
00:27:01,420 --> 00:27:03,689
They have been all through his
house, all over his property,
553
00:27:03,789 --> 00:27:05,124
but there's no sign of him
anywhere.
554
00:27:05,224 --> 00:27:07,092
I mean,
Patty apparently expected him
555
00:27:07,192 --> 00:27:09,128
to show at her arraignment
to vouch for her,
556
00:27:09,228 --> 00:27:11,230
-but nothing.
-But he didn't show up?
557
00:27:11,330 --> 00:27:13,132
-Diane, just--
-No, Michael!
558
00:27:13,232 --> 00:27:15,267
That means he's still out there.
559
00:27:15,367 --> 00:27:18,137
That means he could
still come after me!
560
00:27:24,510 --> 00:27:26,411
MICHAEL:
Diane, come on.
561
00:27:26,512 --> 00:27:29,014
-Why would Markham come for you?
-Because he's obsessed.
562
00:27:29,114 --> 00:27:30,849
He's--he's crazy.
563
00:27:30,949 --> 00:27:33,452
He is far more likely
to have gone into hiding
564
00:27:33,552 --> 00:27:36,388
or maybe talking with his lawyer
about turning himself in.
565
00:27:36,488 --> 00:27:38,624
No, no, not him. Not this guy.
566
00:27:38,724 --> 00:27:41,827
This guy was once a highly
respected professional
567
00:27:41,927 --> 00:27:43,929
until he hooked up with Patty.
568
00:27:44,029 --> 00:27:46,565
Look, if he were my client,
I would be advising him
569
00:27:46,665 --> 00:27:50,335
to stay as far away from you
and Jack as he possibly could.
570
00:27:50,435 --> 00:27:52,738
Yes, and if he were a normal
person, he would listen to you,
571
00:27:52,838 --> 00:27:55,941
but he's not, Michael.
Trust me, he's not.
572
00:27:57,309 --> 00:28:00,412
Well, look, I think you're
giving him far too much credit.
573
00:28:00,512 --> 00:28:03,815
He is probably more scared
than you are right now.
574
00:28:03,916 --> 00:28:08,187
You weren't around him.
You don't know what he's like.
575
00:28:08,287 --> 00:28:11,690
I mean, there were times that
he had this look on his face
576
00:28:11,790 --> 00:28:13,859
that just--it gave me chills.
577
00:28:13,959 --> 00:28:16,795
And Traci saw it too
when she ran into him once.
578
00:28:16,895 --> 00:28:20,732
It was this--like this creepy
smile and these dead eyes!
579
00:28:20,832 --> 00:28:22,935
All right. I have no doubt
that Markham has problems
580
00:28:23,035 --> 00:28:26,371
or he would never have hooked up
with somebody like Patty.
581
00:28:26,471 --> 00:28:28,607
But the police
are looking for him.
582
00:28:28,707 --> 00:28:30,676
You and Jack have security 24/7.
583
00:28:30,776 --> 00:28:33,579
You're safe now,
and if Markham is smart...
584
00:28:33,679 --> 00:28:35,013
he will stay gone.
585
00:28:35,113 --> 00:28:36,548
But what if he doesn't?
586
00:28:36,648 --> 00:28:38,984
What if he still
comes after me?
587
00:28:39,084 --> 00:28:41,053
[exhales] Then...
588
00:28:41,153 --> 00:28:43,388
he'll have to go through me
589
00:28:43,488 --> 00:28:45,958
and everyone else who loves you.
590
00:28:46,058 --> 00:28:49,628
There's no one who's gonna let
Patty or Markham
591
00:28:49,728 --> 00:28:52,064
or anyone else
hurt you ever again.
592
00:28:54,566 --> 00:28:58,570
Did this brilliant idea
to reclaim Newman Media
593
00:28:58,670 --> 00:29:00,939
come from you two,
or is that from Victor?
594
00:29:01,039 --> 00:29:02,341
Sally, if you will just
let me explain--
595
00:29:02,441 --> 00:29:04,209
'Cause if you are
gonna launch an attack,
596
00:29:04,309 --> 00:29:06,578
then we are gonna sue you
and Victor.
597
00:29:06,678 --> 00:29:08,580
And anyone else
who tries to push us around.
598
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:10,549
Because that company is now
a part of Spectra-Charles Media.
599
00:29:10,649 --> 00:29:12,317
And we had absolutely
nothing to do with
600
00:29:12,417 --> 00:29:13,685
whatever happened between
Phyllis and Victor.
601
00:29:13,785 --> 00:29:16,888
So go ahead and try it.
See how far you get.
602
00:29:16,989 --> 00:29:18,724
-Are you finished?
-For now.
603
00:29:18,824 --> 00:29:20,425
Good. Because I would like to
604
00:29:20,525 --> 00:29:22,461
set you straight
on a few things.
605
00:29:22,561 --> 00:29:25,130
The company
that is Spectra-Charles Media
606
00:29:25,230 --> 00:29:27,532
includes Newman Media,
607
00:29:27,633 --> 00:29:29,701
which was given to Billy
by Phyllis
608
00:29:29,801 --> 00:29:32,237
who stole it from my dad.
609
00:29:32,337 --> 00:29:33,538
Okay.
610
00:29:33,639 --> 00:29:35,841
So that's what this is about.
Billy.
611
00:29:35,941 --> 00:29:38,510
Is this because Cane offered him
a job at Chancellor
612
00:29:38,610 --> 00:29:42,047
-and Victor hates that?
-Wait. Wait, he what?
613
00:29:42,147 --> 00:29:45,617
Nothing is settled.
It is not public knowledge.
614
00:29:45,717 --> 00:29:49,288
Okay, well, I will be sure
to keep it quiet.
615
00:29:49,388 --> 00:29:52,357
So you are coming after us.
616
00:29:52,457 --> 00:29:55,294
I cannot believe that you would
do this to me, Adam.
617
00:29:55,394 --> 00:29:56,995
-Sally, please calm down.
-Please do not tell me
618
00:29:57,095 --> 00:29:58,730
-to calm down.
-We are not the enemies here.
619
00:29:58,830 --> 00:30:02,100
But, yes, Victor has made it
clear that he intends to
620
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:03,969
reclaim Newman Media.
621
00:30:04,069 --> 00:30:06,772
And we are not gonna
go along with it.
622
00:30:06,872 --> 00:30:09,274
We are gonna fight Victor
on this.
623
00:30:09,374 --> 00:30:11,910
Okay, well, assuming
that's the truth...
624
00:30:12,010 --> 00:30:15,447
-It's the truth.
-Assuming it is...
625
00:30:15,547 --> 00:30:19,918
I appreciate you guys
being on my side.
626
00:30:21,153 --> 00:30:22,788
But let's get real here
for a second.
627
00:30:22,888 --> 00:30:25,724
Victor usually gets
what he wants.
628
00:30:25,824 --> 00:30:27,492
And I hate to say this, Adam,
629
00:30:27,592 --> 00:30:29,961
but when push comes to shove,
630
00:30:30,062 --> 00:30:32,397
you always back down
when it comes to him.
631
00:30:32,497 --> 00:30:35,000
You never openly defy your
father and stick with it.
632
00:30:35,100 --> 00:30:37,135
So why am I supposed to believe
633
00:30:37,235 --> 00:30:40,272
that you are gonna do it
this time?
634
00:30:42,441 --> 00:30:44,843
Am I being morose?
635
00:30:44,943 --> 00:30:47,879
[sighs] I wouldn't say morose.
636
00:30:47,979 --> 00:30:51,883
All right, well,
feeling sorry for myself?
637
00:30:51,983 --> 00:30:55,520
Well, maybe a little but,
you know, you're entitled, Mom.
638
00:30:55,620 --> 00:30:57,589
What you've been through
in the past year
639
00:30:57,689 --> 00:30:59,758
would have knocked
a hundred people down.
640
00:30:59,858 --> 00:31:01,860
And here you are.
You're still standing.
641
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:03,829
-Just barely.
-No.
642
00:31:03,929 --> 00:31:05,397
More than barely.
643
00:31:05,497 --> 00:31:07,165
And every time you say
something like that,
644
00:31:07,265 --> 00:31:09,134
I'm gonna counter it
with something good,
645
00:31:09,234 --> 00:31:10,936
something positive.
646
00:31:11,036 --> 00:31:12,637
Please do.
647
00:31:12,738 --> 00:31:14,940
You have the best surgeons
in the whole country
648
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:17,042
committed to your recovery.
649
00:31:17,142 --> 00:31:20,379
You have a family
who loves you and adores you.
650
00:31:20,479 --> 00:31:24,116
I also have a daughter
who I've leaned on too much.
651
00:31:24,216 --> 00:31:27,953
No, Mom, no. Never too much.
652
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:32,257
Well, I want you to know
I appreciate it and...
653
00:31:32,357 --> 00:31:34,626
if you see me getting down
or feeling blue,
654
00:31:34,726 --> 00:31:37,195
you have my permission
to smack me out of it.
655
00:31:37,295 --> 00:31:40,332
Ha. Well, you know I will.
656
00:31:40,432 --> 00:31:41,833
[Nikki chuckles]
657
00:31:41,933 --> 00:31:44,870
-Nikki, what happened?
-Oh! Kyle.
658
00:31:44,970 --> 00:31:47,672
Um, I had to have eye surgery.
659
00:31:47,773 --> 00:31:49,708
Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.
660
00:31:49,808 --> 00:31:51,376
Well, it went very well,
661
00:31:51,476 --> 00:31:53,545
and we're hoping for
a full recovery.
662
00:31:53,645 --> 00:31:57,048
-I hope so too.
-Thank you.
663
00:31:57,149 --> 00:31:59,484
How are you doing, Kyle?
664
00:31:59,584 --> 00:32:01,887
Well, I'm guessing
you haven't heard.
665
00:32:01,987 --> 00:32:04,756
My dad's in the hospital.
Patty Williams attacked him.
666
00:32:04,856 --> 00:32:07,492
My mom too,
and they both almost died.
667
00:32:07,592 --> 00:32:11,062
All thanks to Victor.
668
00:32:17,836 --> 00:32:20,439
It means a lot to have you
in my corner
669
00:32:20,539 --> 00:32:22,607
to fight for me, you know,
670
00:32:22,707 --> 00:32:25,544
always there to protect me.
671
00:32:25,644 --> 00:32:27,712
Always.
672
00:32:27,813 --> 00:32:30,849
I do have a confession to make.
673
00:32:30,949 --> 00:32:32,417
-Oh...
-No, no.
674
00:32:32,517 --> 00:32:34,019
It's not anything I did,
675
00:32:34,119 --> 00:32:37,589
but it is something
I thought about doing.
676
00:32:37,689 --> 00:32:39,591
Okay.
677
00:32:39,691 --> 00:32:43,195
When I was being held hostage
at Markham's,
678
00:32:43,295 --> 00:32:46,331
there came a point
when I realized that
679
00:32:46,431 --> 00:32:48,800
my only way out
680
00:32:48,900 --> 00:32:52,137
might be for me to do
something...
681
00:32:52,237 --> 00:32:53,672
drastic.
682
00:32:56,441 --> 00:32:58,844
Oh.
683
00:32:58,944 --> 00:33:00,512
And by drastic, you meant...
684
00:33:00,612 --> 00:33:03,682
I think we both know
what I mean.
685
00:33:03,782 --> 00:33:06,818
And I'm glad I didn't have to
make that choice.
686
00:33:06,918 --> 00:33:10,856
But if I were to have
crossed that line...
687
00:33:10,956 --> 00:33:13,625
I know that
you would have been there
688
00:33:13,725 --> 00:33:16,027
to defend me.
689
00:33:16,127 --> 00:33:20,398
Well, I'm glad you got
back home without any of...
690
00:33:20,499 --> 00:33:23,001
that happening.
691
00:33:23,101 --> 00:33:25,437
Yes.
692
00:33:25,537 --> 00:33:27,772
I'll always be there for you.
693
00:33:27,873 --> 00:33:30,842
I mean, that's the deal, right?
694
00:33:30,942 --> 00:33:33,278
I'll always be there.
695
00:33:34,446 --> 00:33:36,515
Come here. Bring it.
696
00:33:36,615 --> 00:33:38,183
[Michael chuckles]
697
00:33:40,785 --> 00:33:44,623
-Hang on, Sally. I think--
-Chelsea, no, look, it's okay.
698
00:33:44,723 --> 00:33:47,526
I get why Sally feels that way.
699
00:33:48,827 --> 00:33:51,062
When we were together,
there were a few times
700
00:33:51,162 --> 00:33:54,065
that I was conflicted
about challenging my father.
701
00:33:54,165 --> 00:33:56,968
Well, I'd say more than
a few, but...
702
00:33:57,068 --> 00:33:59,304
The point is...
703
00:33:59,404 --> 00:34:02,407
you always tried to appeal
to my conscience.
704
00:34:02,507 --> 00:34:05,310
And I always appreciated that
you actually thought I had one.
705
00:34:05,410 --> 00:34:07,479
Hmm. Never really seemed like
you appreciated it
706
00:34:07,579 --> 00:34:09,214
'cause whenever
we would argue about it,
707
00:34:09,314 --> 00:34:11,483
you would always take his side
or defend him.
708
00:34:11,583 --> 00:34:13,919
Adam's changed.
709
00:34:14,019 --> 00:34:16,254
I see that.
710
00:34:16,354 --> 00:34:18,924
And that is credit to him.
711
00:34:19,024 --> 00:34:21,359
And to you, Chelsea.
712
00:34:21,459 --> 00:34:23,461
But we have all seen
and experienced
713
00:34:23,562 --> 00:34:25,397
Victor doing and taking
whatever he wants
714
00:34:25,497 --> 00:34:27,299
and never looking back.
715
00:34:27,399 --> 00:34:29,534
Chelsea and I
have every intention
716
00:34:29,634 --> 00:34:31,469
of stopping him this time.
717
00:34:33,905 --> 00:34:36,942
I know you mean that now.
718
00:34:37,042 --> 00:34:39,444
And I believe you. I do.
719
00:34:41,546 --> 00:34:43,048
But you have to understand
720
00:34:43,148 --> 00:34:46,618
why your intention
doesn't bring me much comfort.
721
00:34:48,086 --> 00:34:49,621
Anyway.
722
00:34:49,721 --> 00:34:52,657
Thank you for the heads up.
723
00:35:00,899 --> 00:35:04,069
We need to meet. Urgent.
724
00:35:08,273 --> 00:35:10,342
Is Jack gonna be okay?
725
00:35:10,442 --> 00:35:12,077
He'll make a full recovery.
726
00:35:12,177 --> 00:35:14,412
Patty stabbed him
and then went after my mother.
727
00:35:14,512 --> 00:35:16,748
-Oh!
-I'm sorry to hear all this,
728
00:35:16,848 --> 00:35:19,150
Kyle, but what does my father
have to do with any of it?
729
00:35:19,250 --> 00:35:20,785
He's the one
who brought her to town,
730
00:35:20,885 --> 00:35:22,354
set her loose
to do what she does.
731
00:35:22,454 --> 00:35:24,089
So you can defend him
all you want,
732
00:35:24,189 --> 00:35:26,458
but none of this happens
without Victor.
733
00:35:26,558 --> 00:35:28,093
None of it.
734
00:35:33,198 --> 00:35:35,133
I want you to give me
a complete update
735
00:35:35,233 --> 00:35:38,603
on Jack Abbott's
medical condition, all right?
736
00:35:38,703 --> 00:35:41,172
And then I want you
to take a look
737
00:35:41,272 --> 00:35:44,342
at Patty Williams' arraignment.
738
00:35:44,442 --> 00:35:47,312
I wanna know if all the charges
will stick.
739
00:35:48,780 --> 00:35:50,982
That clear?
740
00:35:51,082 --> 00:35:52,951
Thank you.
741
00:35:59,891 --> 00:36:02,093
Ha ha.
742
00:36:02,193 --> 00:36:04,696
Let him bring it on, man.
743
00:36:04,796 --> 00:36:07,632
Bring it on.
