1
00:00:01,702 --> 00:00:04,304
I genuinely hope that you're
all happy now.
2
00:00:04,404 --> 00:00:07,207
I'm giving you everything
you've ever wanted in your life.
3
00:00:07,307 --> 00:00:08,942
I'm gonna get the hell
outta town.
4
00:00:09,042 --> 00:00:10,477
Yeah, can't happen soon enough.
5
00:00:10,577 --> 00:00:11,979
-I second that.
-I'm not buying it.
6
00:00:12,079 --> 00:00:14,781
Really? Why would I stay here?
Tell me that.
7
00:00:14,882 --> 00:00:19,119
Nothing I ever do will ever
convince you that I've changed.
8
00:00:19,219 --> 00:00:22,189
Years from now, if I so much
as run through a red light,
9
00:00:22,289 --> 00:00:24,091
you'll all be standing around
the intersection pointing at me,
10
00:00:24,191 --> 00:00:26,593
trying to remind me
of what a bad guy I used to be.
11
00:00:26,693 --> 00:00:28,562
Stop playing the victim
and painting us
12
00:00:28,662 --> 00:00:30,564
like we're the villains
because we didn't welcome you,
13
00:00:30,664 --> 00:00:34,801
this supposedly reformed version
of you, with open arms.
14
00:00:34,902 --> 00:00:37,004
You literally terrorized
every single person in this room
15
00:00:37,104 --> 00:00:38,472
-at one time or another.
-See, that's what I'm talk--
16
00:00:38,572 --> 00:00:40,541
Noah, this is exactly
what I'm talking about!
17
00:00:40,641 --> 00:00:41,942
Right this moment,
18
00:00:42,042 --> 00:00:43,944
you're reminding me
of how horrible I am.
19
00:00:44,044 --> 00:00:46,113
Can you blame us,
after what you've done?
20
00:00:46,213 --> 00:00:48,549
Done. Exactly!
That's like a past tense word!
21
00:00:48,649 --> 00:00:51,685
But every time we look at you,
that's all we see.
22
00:00:51,785 --> 00:00:53,620
Thank you, Sharon, for saying
the quiet part out loud.
23
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:55,789
I understand.
No matter what I do,
24
00:00:55,889 --> 00:00:58,125
you will never believe
that I've changed--you will
25
00:00:58,225 --> 00:01:00,160
only ever see this monster
that you think that I am.
26
00:01:00,260 --> 00:01:02,162
Yeah, so put the blame
where it really lies
27
00:01:02,262 --> 00:01:04,831
and consider the possibility
that you've gone about this
28
00:01:04,932 --> 00:01:07,734
whole alleged forgiveness tour
all wrong.
29
00:01:07,834 --> 00:01:11,605
Okay, so this is a teaching
moment. Instruct me, Noah.
30
00:01:11,705 --> 00:01:14,541
Tell me, please, how I should
go about asking for forgiveness,
31
00:01:14,641 --> 00:01:16,343
since you know so much about it.
32
00:01:16,443 --> 00:01:19,079
Although I don't remember you
asking me for my forgiveness
33
00:01:19,179 --> 00:01:20,847
when you slept with my wife.
34
00:01:20,948 --> 00:01:22,516
Oh, that's nothing compared
to what you've done.
35
00:01:22,616 --> 00:01:23,817
It meant something to me!
36
00:01:23,917 --> 00:01:26,153
And before
you start with a lecture
37
00:01:26,253 --> 00:01:29,356
on how I was a lousy husband,
I get it.
38
00:01:29,456 --> 00:01:31,058
I dropped the ball.
I understand.
39
00:01:31,158 --> 00:01:35,195
That's why I came here.
I wanted to apologize.
40
00:01:35,295 --> 00:01:37,464
No, you came in here
to corner her and harass her
41
00:01:37,564 --> 00:01:39,967
for not wanting anything
to do with you.
42
00:01:42,502 --> 00:01:44,571
Is that how you see things?
43
00:01:44,671 --> 00:01:46,406
Sienna, you think I came here
to harass you?
44
00:01:46,506 --> 00:01:49,042
-NOAH: No, leave her alone.
-Let her talk.
45
00:01:52,913 --> 00:01:56,116
I came here
to have a heart to heart...
46
00:01:56,216 --> 00:01:58,018
with my wife.
47
00:01:58,118 --> 00:02:01,021
And she's not your wife anymore.
48
00:02:01,121 --> 00:02:04,858
The marriage was annulled, and
you know what that means, right?
49
00:02:04,958 --> 00:02:07,394
Null and void.
50
00:02:07,494 --> 00:02:09,763
As if it never happened.
51
00:02:13,133 --> 00:02:15,202
One more reason to leave town.
52
00:02:17,337 --> 00:02:19,906
-Adios.
-If you are truly, truly leaving
53
00:02:20,007 --> 00:02:21,675
I need to know
what your next move is.
54
00:02:21,775 --> 00:02:23,310
Why? Why do you care?
55
00:02:23,410 --> 00:02:25,178
I'll be gone. I'm leaving.
56
00:02:25,278 --> 00:02:26,813
Because I bought into
that lie once before,
57
00:02:26,913 --> 00:02:28,782
and you always find a way
to keep coming back.
58
00:02:28,882 --> 00:02:31,084
If you are truly
walking out that door
59
00:02:31,184 --> 00:02:32,953
and not looking for forgiveness,
60
00:02:33,053 --> 00:02:35,956
I need to know what it is
you're after.
61
00:02:40,827 --> 00:02:45,766
♪♪
62
00:03:16,163 --> 00:03:17,431
Thank you.
63
00:03:21,468 --> 00:03:24,071
Mind if I join you?
64
00:03:24,171 --> 00:03:26,206
Oh, hi...Adam.
65
00:03:26,306 --> 00:03:28,909
Uh, yeah, I, uh...
66
00:03:29,009 --> 00:03:31,745
put this away. [small laugh]
67
00:03:31,845 --> 00:03:34,281
Those the, uh, colors
that you're thinking about
68
00:03:34,381 --> 00:03:36,516
for the baby nursery?
69
00:03:38,118 --> 00:03:41,822
Yeah. We thought we would
get a head start on the room.
70
00:03:41,922 --> 00:03:43,690
Billy's been ordering
a bunch of stuff,
71
00:03:43,790 --> 00:03:45,892
so we have this steady stream
of delivery trucks
72
00:03:45,992 --> 00:03:48,161
coming to our door.
73
00:03:48,261 --> 00:03:50,263
Well, wedding to plan,
74
00:03:50,363 --> 00:03:52,165
nursery to set up.
75
00:03:52,265 --> 00:03:54,935
Sounds like someone's got
a lot of time on his hands.
76
00:03:55,035 --> 00:03:58,672
Don't tell me he got canned from
Chancellor before even starting.
77
00:03:58,772 --> 00:04:00,941
Uh, no, he did not get canned.
78
00:04:01,041 --> 00:04:03,543
He hasn't accepted the offer.
79
00:04:03,643 --> 00:04:05,512
Yet.
80
00:04:05,612 --> 00:04:07,647
But we both know he will.
81
00:04:07,748 --> 00:04:11,151
If it makes him happy, right?
82
00:04:11,251 --> 00:04:12,686
Okay.
83
00:04:12,786 --> 00:04:16,356
I'm sorry. Uh, I did not
come here to discuss Billy.
84
00:04:16,456 --> 00:04:18,625
Are you sure about that?
85
00:04:18,725 --> 00:04:21,561
I came here to talk to you
about Victor.
86
00:04:23,330 --> 00:04:25,132
Did he tell you that Audra and I
87
00:04:25,232 --> 00:04:27,434
offered to sell Newman Media
back to him?
88
00:04:27,534 --> 00:04:31,104
He did, and I just have
one question.
89
00:04:31,204 --> 00:04:33,974
Why the hell would you do that?
90
00:04:36,943 --> 00:04:38,779
You know, whatever the outcome
91
00:04:38,879 --> 00:04:41,481
of tomorrow's
doctor's appointment...
92
00:04:41,581 --> 00:04:43,984
we're gonna face it together,
okay?
93
00:04:44,084 --> 00:04:46,620
And you will not be alone.
94
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,956
The last thing I wanted
through this whole ordeal
95
00:04:50,056 --> 00:04:53,226
was for you to feel obligated
to show me compassion.
96
00:04:53,326 --> 00:04:55,162
Sweetheart,
I don't feel obligated.
97
00:04:55,262 --> 00:04:58,298
Don't think that.
I wanna be there.
98
00:04:58,398 --> 00:05:02,002
I don't want anybody's pity,
least of all yours.
99
00:05:02,102 --> 00:05:03,970
I'm not pitying you.
100
00:05:04,070 --> 00:05:05,939
You're strong and independent.
101
00:05:10,277 --> 00:05:12,312
-What?
-So...
102
00:05:12,412 --> 00:05:16,917
you're here willingly in spite
of our unresolved differences?
103
00:05:17,017 --> 00:05:19,019
Of course.
104
00:05:21,154 --> 00:05:22,989
What's the matter?
105
00:05:24,357 --> 00:05:26,793
I just wonder...
106
00:05:26,893 --> 00:05:29,029
if I weren't facing blindness
107
00:05:29,129 --> 00:05:31,932
and I went to see Jack
in the hospital
108
00:05:32,032 --> 00:05:34,501
if we would be having
this conversation,
109
00:05:34,601 --> 00:05:38,071
or would you even be
speaking to me?
110
00:05:46,980 --> 00:05:48,849
When I told you that my father
111
00:05:48,949 --> 00:05:50,917
was planning to take back
Newman Media,
112
00:05:51,017 --> 00:05:53,119
you said that you were
hellbent on fighting him
113
00:05:53,220 --> 00:05:55,555
with everything that you got.
114
00:05:55,655 --> 00:05:57,791
You're right. I was.
115
00:05:57,891 --> 00:06:00,927
So then why the switch-up
with the offer to sell?
116
00:06:01,027 --> 00:06:03,363
Well, after I spoke with
Audra about it,
117
00:06:03,463 --> 00:06:08,001
I realized a hard truth that
we couldn't afford to ignore.
118
00:06:08,101 --> 00:06:09,569
Which is?
119
00:06:09,669 --> 00:06:11,137
Against the corporate warfare
120
00:06:11,238 --> 00:06:12,939
your father
has been known to wage,
121
00:06:13,039 --> 00:06:16,376
we are outgunned
and way outmatched.
122
00:06:17,611 --> 00:06:20,146
Yeah, you and everybody else.
123
00:06:20,247 --> 00:06:22,349
Yeah, exactly.
Which is why we thought
124
00:06:22,449 --> 00:06:24,284
if we offered to sell
Newman Media back to him,
125
00:06:24,384 --> 00:06:26,253
at least we could
get something for it,
126
00:06:26,353 --> 00:06:29,823
not to mention avoid your father
taking everything from us.
127
00:06:29,923 --> 00:06:32,125
You made a valid judgment call.
128
00:06:32,225 --> 00:06:33,727
And I will give you credit
for that.
129
00:06:33,827 --> 00:06:35,896
It was definitely worth a shot.
130
00:06:35,996 --> 00:06:38,732
I'm glad you think so.
131
00:06:38,832 --> 00:06:40,500
It's too bad
that there is no way
132
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:42,669
that Victor's gonna go for it.
133
00:06:45,038 --> 00:06:47,374
Sweetheart,
with all due respect,
134
00:06:47,474 --> 00:06:50,043
why are you
bringing this up now?
135
00:06:50,143 --> 00:06:54,547
Because it's the elephant
in the room, Victor.
136
00:06:54,648 --> 00:06:56,650
I noticed a shift in your mood
137
00:06:56,750 --> 00:06:58,985
as soon as Victoria and I
walked in
138
00:06:59,085 --> 00:07:01,321
-after having seen Jack.
-Hello!
139
00:07:01,421 --> 00:07:04,891
And, when you asked us
where we had been,
140
00:07:04,991 --> 00:07:07,494
it was clear that you
already knew the answer.
141
00:07:07,594 --> 00:07:10,931
It was also clear
that you had been spying on me.
142
00:07:11,031 --> 00:07:13,166
I mean, how else
could you have known?
143
00:07:13,266 --> 00:07:16,336
So what? Were you gonna
keep this a secret?
144
00:07:16,436 --> 00:07:19,005
No, there's nothing secretive
about it.
145
00:07:19,105 --> 00:07:22,075
Jack is one of my oldest
and dearest friends.
146
00:07:22,175 --> 00:07:26,212
He nearly died.
Why wouldn't I go see him?
147
00:07:26,313 --> 00:07:29,482
Why don't you understand
that I can't stand the guy
148
00:07:29,582 --> 00:07:33,186
and that I do not like the fact
that my wife goes to see him
149
00:07:33,286 --> 00:07:34,888
and visit him in a hospital?
150
00:07:34,988 --> 00:07:36,957
I don't give a damn about
the guy, okay?
151
00:07:37,057 --> 00:07:39,059
He nearly cost you your life.
152
00:07:39,159 --> 00:07:41,861
Oh, my God, for the last time,
Victor...
153
00:07:41,962 --> 00:07:44,764
[exhales] he saved my life,
154
00:07:44,864 --> 00:07:47,934
and instead of being grateful,
for some reason,
155
00:07:48,034 --> 00:07:51,638
you've decided to
forever see him as a threat.
156
00:07:51,738 --> 00:07:55,875
[sighs] I'm not gonna argue
with you, okay?
157
00:07:55,976 --> 00:07:58,712
And you have already made
my case anyway, so...
158
00:07:58,812 --> 00:08:01,181
at least we understand
each other.
159
00:08:01,281 --> 00:08:05,652
What I don't understand and what
I find completely hypocritical
160
00:08:05,752 --> 00:08:09,255
is that I shouldn't go see Jack
161
00:08:09,356 --> 00:08:13,493
after a near-fatal stabbing
in the hospital...
162
00:08:15,195 --> 00:08:18,498
At the hands of a woman that you
brought to town, by the way.
163
00:08:18,598 --> 00:08:22,902
But I should accept you cozying
up to a criminal like Matt Clark
164
00:08:23,003 --> 00:08:25,338
and moving him onto
our property.
165
00:08:25,438 --> 00:08:27,841
Who on earth
could make sense of that?
166
00:08:30,377 --> 00:08:32,045
MATT: What do you want from me?
167
00:08:32,145 --> 00:08:34,647
I'm trying so hard
to take the high road here.
168
00:08:34,748 --> 00:08:37,050
Right now, the high road
is the road out of Genoa City.
169
00:08:37,150 --> 00:08:39,452
-Nothing pleases you!
-Did you really expect us
170
00:08:39,552 --> 00:08:41,554
to blindly accept this new Matt
171
00:08:41,654 --> 00:08:44,057
just based on a few months
of good behavior?
172
00:08:44,157 --> 00:08:45,658
Yeah.
173
00:08:45,759 --> 00:08:47,894
I'm not the only person
in this room
174
00:08:47,994 --> 00:08:50,196
who's done stuff
that needs to be forgiven.
175
00:08:50,296 --> 00:08:51,765
NICK:
You're dodging the question.
176
00:08:51,865 --> 00:08:53,633
-What is your next move?
-I don't know, Nick.
177
00:08:53,733 --> 00:08:56,169
I don't have a ten-year plan.
I don't have any plan at all.
178
00:08:56,269 --> 00:08:58,505
This is what I'm gonna do.
I'm gonna get a job, maybe.
179
00:08:58,605 --> 00:09:00,440
I don't know.
Make some money, earn a living.
180
00:09:00,540 --> 00:09:02,675
Earn an honest living.
181
00:09:02,776 --> 00:09:04,811
Build a life.
Maybe find somebody
182
00:09:04,911 --> 00:09:07,447
that'll share that life with me,
someone who would look at me
183
00:09:07,547 --> 00:09:09,215
the way people seem to
look at you, Nick.
184
00:09:09,315 --> 00:09:11,918
'Cause I'm tired of the way
you all look at me now.
185
00:09:12,852 --> 00:09:14,487
I would like for somebody
to look at me
186
00:09:14,587 --> 00:09:15,722
and see something decent.
187
00:09:15,822 --> 00:09:17,590
I wanna do something nice
for somebody.
188
00:09:17,690 --> 00:09:19,492
I wanna do something nice
for another person
189
00:09:19,592 --> 00:09:22,595
and have them appreciate it
instead of being suspicious.
190
00:09:22,695 --> 00:09:25,131
It's a vague answer
and not at all reassuring.
191
00:09:25,231 --> 00:09:27,000
Man, this is a tough crowd.
192
00:09:27,100 --> 00:09:29,302
You know, it wasn't that long
ago that you and your family
193
00:09:29,402 --> 00:09:31,438
offered me a whole bunch
of money to get outta town,
194
00:09:31,538 --> 00:09:34,240
and now, because I can't give
you a detailed itinerary
195
00:09:34,340 --> 00:09:36,409
of what I'm gonna do, you don't
wanna let me loose on the world?
196
00:09:36,509 --> 00:09:38,244
What's with you, man?
Do you want me gone or not?
197
00:09:38,344 --> 00:09:41,581
Oh, I want you gone...
more than you will ever know.
198
00:09:41,681 --> 00:09:44,084
But if you think you're getting
a dime out of this family--
199
00:09:44,184 --> 00:09:46,119
I don't want anything,
all right? You want me to leave.
200
00:09:46,219 --> 00:09:47,687
I'm gonna leave!
201
00:09:47,787 --> 00:09:49,989
What can I do for any of you
202
00:09:50,090 --> 00:09:51,991
that would finally
just be enough?
203
00:09:52,092 --> 00:09:54,394
Just leave and don't come back.
That would be enough for me,
204
00:09:54,494 --> 00:09:57,363
and I'll help you pack.
205
00:10:03,703 --> 00:10:06,606
Sharon, thank you so much.
I so appreciate your kind offer
206
00:10:06,706 --> 00:10:08,007
to help me pack.
207
00:10:08,108 --> 00:10:10,143
It'll be really easy.
I don't own much.
208
00:10:10,243 --> 00:10:12,312
It'll all fit into
one duffel bag.
209
00:10:12,412 --> 00:10:14,647
How 'bout I call a car
to take you to the bus station?
210
00:10:14,747 --> 00:10:17,016
You...all might be unforgiving,
211
00:10:17,117 --> 00:10:19,219
but you sure are accommodating.
212
00:10:20,854 --> 00:10:23,823
There might be one small problem
213
00:10:23,923 --> 00:10:26,159
with me making
such a hasty exit.
214
00:10:26,259 --> 00:10:27,327
I knew it.
215
00:10:27,427 --> 00:10:28,795
What are you trying to pull now?
216
00:10:28,895 --> 00:10:31,464
I'm not trying to pull anything.
I'm the guy that wants to leave.
217
00:10:31,564 --> 00:10:33,766
But Victor...he might have
a problem with me leaving,
218
00:10:33,867 --> 00:10:35,935
because he was so insistent
on putting me to a test
219
00:10:36,035 --> 00:10:39,672
and I think he might be upset
if I leave the test unfinished.
220
00:10:39,772 --> 00:10:42,175
You don't need to
worry about my dad.
221
00:10:42,275 --> 00:10:45,011
-I'll take care of that for you.
-Yeah, Victor doesn't strike me
222
00:10:45,111 --> 00:10:47,013
as the kind of guy
that can be "taken care" of,
223
00:10:47,113 --> 00:10:49,048
but I'm sure you know him
better than I do.
224
00:10:50,917 --> 00:10:52,886
Well, is that it?
Is there anything else
225
00:10:52,986 --> 00:10:55,221
or anyone standing in your way?
226
00:10:55,321 --> 00:10:56,890
Well, none of you,
that's for sure.
227
00:10:56,990 --> 00:10:58,625
What are you waiting for, Matt?
228
00:10:58,725 --> 00:11:00,994
Go get that duffle bag
and hit the road.
229
00:11:08,501 --> 00:11:10,503
You're awfully quiet.
230
00:11:11,838 --> 00:11:14,073
You on board with this plan
to push me out the door
231
00:11:14,174 --> 00:11:16,809
into parts unknown?
232
00:11:19,345 --> 00:11:21,714
Well, I know you have an opinion
233
00:11:21,814 --> 00:11:23,950
about the deal
that Audra and I presented,
234
00:11:24,050 --> 00:11:26,252
but we didn't come to you.
We went to Victor.
235
00:11:26,352 --> 00:11:28,421
And he didn't accept
or reject our offer.
236
00:11:28,521 --> 00:11:30,089
He just said that he would
think about it
237
00:11:30,190 --> 00:11:32,959
and he would get back to us
with his final decision.
238
00:11:33,059 --> 00:11:35,161
Of course he did.
239
00:11:35,261 --> 00:11:38,031
-What is that supposed to mean?
-Sally...
240
00:11:38,131 --> 00:11:42,202
Victor only said that
to get you to leave.
241
00:11:42,302 --> 00:11:44,370
Okay, that's what you think--
242
00:11:44,470 --> 00:11:47,540
No. That is what I know.
243
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:51,077
He heard you and Audra out,
either as a courtesy,
244
00:11:51,177 --> 00:11:53,947
or he was amused by watching you
try to negotiate
245
00:11:54,047 --> 00:11:56,182
a different outcome
than he already planned.
246
00:11:56,282 --> 00:11:59,018
And knowing him,
it was the latter.
247
00:12:00,119 --> 00:12:03,056
So you're saying that Victor's
not even considering our deal?
248
00:12:03,156 --> 00:12:05,658
Not even for a second.
249
00:12:07,961 --> 00:12:10,330
I'm sorry, Sally.
250
00:12:11,364 --> 00:12:13,433
Not as sorry as I am.
251
00:12:13,533 --> 00:12:16,636
I mean, it's Victor.
[scoffs] What did I expect?
252
00:12:16,736 --> 00:12:19,505
Look...don't beat yourself up
253
00:12:19,606 --> 00:12:22,275
because the man's better angels
didn't show up.
254
00:12:22,375 --> 00:12:24,344
I mean, you really think
he has any?
255
00:12:24,444 --> 00:12:26,246
Sorry. I know he's your father.
256
00:12:26,346 --> 00:12:28,481
Look, he doesn't always
play fair,
257
00:12:28,581 --> 00:12:30,850
especially when it comes
to business.
258
00:12:32,885 --> 00:12:34,687
Well...
259
00:12:34,787 --> 00:12:37,290
guess I'm going to war then.
260
00:12:37,390 --> 00:12:39,592
Sally...war?
261
00:12:39,692 --> 00:12:42,328
-Come on. Why?
-I meant what I said.
262
00:12:42,428 --> 00:12:44,931
I'm not giving up Newman Media
with nothing in return.
263
00:12:47,467 --> 00:12:51,070
Okay, well, maybe there is a way
that war is not necessary.
264
00:12:51,170 --> 00:12:53,673
You just said that your father
has zero interest
265
00:12:53,773 --> 00:12:55,675
in making a deal with us so,
what,
266
00:12:55,775 --> 00:12:58,211
he's just gonna take the company
and leave us high and dry?
267
00:12:58,311 --> 00:13:00,079
Before you ready
your battle stations,
268
00:13:00,179 --> 00:13:02,148
just hear me out.
269
00:13:02,248 --> 00:13:04,450
I might have an idea
on how you might be able
270
00:13:04,550 --> 00:13:06,552
to avoid this fight
with my father...
271
00:13:06,653 --> 00:13:08,388
altogether.
272
00:13:10,523 --> 00:13:13,426
Sweetheart...
273
00:13:13,526 --> 00:13:15,728
let's not talk about this
anymore.
274
00:13:15,828 --> 00:13:19,899
No more mentioning of Matt Clark
or Jack Abbott, okay?
275
00:13:19,999 --> 00:13:23,970
You're facing
some real problems--
276
00:13:24,070 --> 00:13:27,073
that's the possibility
of blindness.
277
00:13:27,173 --> 00:13:29,008
And talking about that,
have you decided
278
00:13:29,108 --> 00:13:31,911
who's going to take you
to the appointment?
279
00:13:32,011 --> 00:13:35,214
Well, I know Victoria
wants to go and...
280
00:13:35,315 --> 00:13:37,550
probably Nicholas.
281
00:13:37,650 --> 00:13:39,519
You had mentioned
you wanted to go
282
00:13:39,619 --> 00:13:41,387
when the bandages
were being removed.
283
00:13:41,487 --> 00:13:43,256
Of course I want to go.
284
00:13:43,356 --> 00:13:46,326
But that was before
I went to see Jack.
285
00:13:46,426 --> 00:13:49,195
-Please.
-So...
286
00:13:49,295 --> 00:13:53,333
does your offer to go with me
still stand, or...
287
00:13:53,433 --> 00:13:57,270
have I inadvertently caused
yet another rift between us?
288
00:13:59,172 --> 00:14:02,575
Let's not talk about this
anymore, okay?
289
00:14:03,576 --> 00:14:05,311
Please?
290
00:14:11,918 --> 00:14:14,287
-I'll be honest.
-You always are.
291
00:14:15,722 --> 00:14:17,457
I personally feel that
292
00:14:17,557 --> 00:14:20,560
it would be best for everyone,
you included,
293
00:14:20,660 --> 00:14:21,794
if you left town.
294
00:14:21,894 --> 00:14:24,697
And the fact that you came
to the same decision
295
00:14:24,797 --> 00:14:28,101
on your own, it's really--
there's nothing up for debate.
296
00:14:29,869 --> 00:14:31,070
[softly] Right.
297
00:14:31,170 --> 00:14:33,005
Listen, I get
it's not gonna be easy for you
298
00:14:33,106 --> 00:14:34,674
to start over from scratch
and deal with
299
00:14:34,774 --> 00:14:38,244
the baggage from your past
that you now seem to regret.
300
00:14:38,344 --> 00:14:40,413
-I do. I do regret it.
-Okay, but listen.
301
00:14:41,748 --> 00:14:45,118
For everybody to be able
to move on...
302
00:14:45,218 --> 00:14:47,687
leaving Genoa City's
the only answer.
303
00:14:50,556 --> 00:14:53,025
I'll let you know when I leave.
304
00:14:53,126 --> 00:14:55,795
No, you're letting her know now.
305
00:14:55,895 --> 00:14:57,463
She doesn't need
another confrontation.
306
00:14:57,563 --> 00:14:59,232
No, what I--
307
00:15:04,771 --> 00:15:06,506
I am sorry
308
00:15:06,606 --> 00:15:09,509
for all of the pain and anguish
that I have caused you
309
00:15:09,609 --> 00:15:12,678
and your family.
310
00:15:15,748 --> 00:15:17,683
And, uh,
311
00:15:17,784 --> 00:15:19,285
Noah, I wish--I wish you--
312
00:15:19,385 --> 00:15:22,455
I wish you and Sienna...
313
00:15:22,555 --> 00:15:25,191
the best of luck with the club.
314
00:15:25,291 --> 00:15:27,360
Yeah, well, we don't need
your good wishes.
315
00:15:27,460 --> 00:15:30,463
Okay, when--when--you just
say thank you. That's what you--
316
00:15:40,673 --> 00:15:43,042
[exhales] Finally.
317
00:15:44,477 --> 00:15:46,579
We'll see.
318
00:15:46,679 --> 00:15:48,648
You don't think
we've seen the last of him?
319
00:15:50,850 --> 00:15:53,719
What do you think?
320
00:15:56,055 --> 00:15:58,424
Short of waving a white flag,
321
00:15:58,524 --> 00:16:01,360
which is absolutely
not gonna happen, by the way,
322
00:16:01,461 --> 00:16:04,764
I don't see how
we avoid a war with Victor.
323
00:16:04,864 --> 00:16:06,232
And I meant what I said.
324
00:16:06,332 --> 00:16:08,568
I'm not giving up Newman Media
or Spectra-Charles
325
00:16:08,668 --> 00:16:12,438
-for zero compensation.
-And I get the sentiment.
326
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:16,108
But Sally, considering
who you're going up against,
327
00:16:16,209 --> 00:16:20,279
zero compensation
is a real possibility.
328
00:16:20,379 --> 00:16:23,483
And I just--I don't wanna
see you annihilated by my father
329
00:16:23,583 --> 00:16:26,352
in the process.
Neither does Chelsea.
330
00:16:27,987 --> 00:16:30,756
Well, I appreciate the concern.
331
00:16:30,857 --> 00:16:32,925
But I'm not going down
without a fight.
332
00:16:33,025 --> 00:16:34,794
Just because my father
isn't willing
333
00:16:34,894 --> 00:16:36,195
to pay for Newman Media
334
00:16:36,295 --> 00:16:39,465
doesn't mean that
somebody else won't.
335
00:16:39,565 --> 00:16:41,200
Like who?
336
00:16:42,768 --> 00:16:44,270
Like me.
337
00:16:44,370 --> 00:16:47,073
-You?
-Mm-hmm.
338
00:16:47,173 --> 00:16:49,976
Why would you make a deal
your father refuses?
339
00:16:51,410 --> 00:16:53,946
I have my reasons.
340
00:16:54,046 --> 00:16:56,282
You'd really be willing
to go behind your father's back
341
00:16:56,382 --> 00:16:58,484
to buy your family's company?
342
00:16:58,584 --> 00:17:00,286
I would.
343
00:17:00,386 --> 00:17:03,823
Under the same terms you were
willing to sell to Victor.
344
00:17:06,225 --> 00:17:08,094
Well, now, if both Nicholas
and Victoria
345
00:17:08,194 --> 00:17:10,129
go with you to the appointment,
346
00:17:10,229 --> 00:17:12,665
I think we've got it covered,
right?
347
00:17:14,500 --> 00:17:16,302
I suppose so.
348
00:17:17,837 --> 00:17:19,739
Well, I'm asking
because don't you think
349
00:17:19,839 --> 00:17:22,174
it's gonna be too crowded
if I join them?
350
00:17:24,410 --> 00:17:27,113
You're right.
It--it will be crowded.
351
00:17:27,213 --> 00:17:28,781
VICTOR: Yeah.
352
00:17:30,550 --> 00:17:32,418
I'm tired.
353
00:17:32,518 --> 00:17:35,821
Tomorrow will be a trying day.
354
00:17:35,922 --> 00:17:37,957
I'm going to bed.
355
00:17:40,693 --> 00:17:42,528
Victor, if you don't mind,
356
00:17:42,628 --> 00:17:46,098
I wanna get used to making
the trip on my own.
357
00:18:14,060 --> 00:18:15,461
-Victor?
-Mm-hmm.
358
00:18:16,362 --> 00:18:17,430
Yeah.
359
00:18:19,932 --> 00:18:22,268
Despite everything...
360
00:18:22,368 --> 00:18:24,570
I love you.
361
00:18:26,038 --> 00:18:28,140
I always will.
362
00:18:32,278 --> 00:18:35,247
One, two,
363
00:18:35,348 --> 00:18:37,216
three, four,
364
00:18:37,316 --> 00:18:40,286
five, six,
365
00:18:40,386 --> 00:18:42,555
seven, eight,
366
00:18:42,655 --> 00:18:44,957
nine, ten...
367
00:18:48,694 --> 00:18:50,997
You're not sure
that you can trust me.
368
00:18:51,097 --> 00:18:53,633
Why would you say that?
369
00:18:53,733 --> 00:18:56,469
The look on your face.
370
00:18:56,569 --> 00:18:59,839
And you never were good
at hiding your true feelings.
371
00:18:59,939 --> 00:19:01,907
Well, I never saw the point.
372
00:19:02,008 --> 00:19:03,976
-Hmm.
-And, yeah, you're right.
373
00:19:04,076 --> 00:19:08,180
I mean, I don't know
if I can trust you.
374
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:10,182
Also, when I told Audra
that you and Chelsea
375
00:19:10,282 --> 00:19:12,151
were vowing to side with us
against Victor,
376
00:19:12,251 --> 00:19:13,986
she immediately suspected
it was some power move
377
00:19:14,086 --> 00:19:16,155
that you were executing
on your father's behalf.
378
00:19:16,255 --> 00:19:18,858
[sighing] Look,
Audra's your best friend
379
00:19:18,958 --> 00:19:21,527
and, given what she witnessed
when you and I were together,
380
00:19:21,627 --> 00:19:23,262
I don't blame her
for not trusting me.
381
00:19:23,362 --> 00:19:25,431
But let's be honest.
She doesn't trust anyone.
382
00:19:25,531 --> 00:19:27,767
-Except you.
-Yeah, with good reason.
383
00:19:27,867 --> 00:19:29,969
You have my word.
What I'm offering you
384
00:19:30,069 --> 00:19:33,172
-is on the level.
-You've worked so hard
385
00:19:33,272 --> 00:19:35,274
to get back
in your father's good graces.
386
00:19:35,374 --> 00:19:37,710
It makes no sense
why you would willingly
387
00:19:37,810 --> 00:19:41,013
and knowingly
alienate him like this.
388
00:19:41,113 --> 00:19:43,616
Um, well, maybe because
389
00:19:43,716 --> 00:19:46,318
he has alienated me.
390
00:19:46,419 --> 00:19:48,454
When he regained control
of Newman,
391
00:19:48,554 --> 00:19:50,756
I thought that
I was gonna have a major role
392
00:19:50,856 --> 00:19:52,558
in putting things back together.
393
00:19:52,658 --> 00:19:55,227
-Don't you?
-[chuckles]
394
00:19:55,327 --> 00:19:58,164
Let's just say
that the music stopped...
395
00:19:58,264 --> 00:20:01,567
and there aren't any seats left
in the last round
396
00:20:01,667 --> 00:20:03,736
of corporate musical chairs.
397
00:20:05,538 --> 00:20:08,841
-I'm sorry.
-No, look, don't be.
398
00:20:09,775 --> 00:20:11,544
Look, Chelsea and I are...
399
00:20:11,644 --> 00:20:13,946
are proud of what we did
at Newman Media,
400
00:20:14,046 --> 00:20:16,549
and we would like to pick
things up where we left off,
401
00:20:16,649 --> 00:20:18,484
but I don't wanna do that
at your expense.
402
00:20:18,584 --> 00:20:21,654
I want to see you profit
from the transaction.
403
00:20:24,924 --> 00:20:27,126
What are you thinking about?
404
00:20:29,028 --> 00:20:31,564
Billy.
405
00:20:31,664 --> 00:20:33,833
How does he come into this?
406
00:20:33,933 --> 00:20:35,634
You barely said hello earlier
407
00:20:35,735 --> 00:20:38,270
before you had to
get a dig into him.
408
00:20:38,370 --> 00:20:40,573
If your father
can't get past the fact
409
00:20:40,673 --> 00:20:42,742
that Billy gave me Newman Media,
410
00:20:42,842 --> 00:20:45,845
how am I supposed to believe
that you will?
411
00:20:49,648 --> 00:20:51,650
I don't trust him.
412
00:20:51,751 --> 00:20:53,185
And I'll believe
that he's really gone
413
00:20:53,285 --> 00:20:54,787
when he stops dropping by
unannounced.
414
00:20:54,887 --> 00:20:57,890
Okay, look, I understand
why you're wary, but...
415
00:20:57,990 --> 00:21:00,893
there was something
about him just now,
416
00:21:00,993 --> 00:21:04,497
you know, the way he didn't
put up a fight about leaving.
417
00:21:05,731 --> 00:21:07,366
What exactly did Matt say to you
418
00:21:07,466 --> 00:21:09,835
in this little heart-to-heart
before I interrupted?
419
00:21:09,935 --> 00:21:12,271
He came by to clear the air.
That's what he said.
420
00:21:12,371 --> 00:21:14,874
That he was sorry
for everything.
421
00:21:14,974 --> 00:21:17,176
Look, he didn't want me
to blame myself
422
00:21:17,276 --> 00:21:19,478
for not knowing
who he truly was
423
00:21:19,578 --> 00:21:22,047
back when we were together.
424
00:21:22,148 --> 00:21:23,849
That was it?
425
00:21:25,084 --> 00:21:27,586
He also said that he wished
he could have been
426
00:21:27,686 --> 00:21:29,955
the husband I deserved.
427
00:21:31,891 --> 00:21:33,859
I can see why
you'd wanna believe that.
428
00:21:33,959 --> 00:21:37,696
You spent a lot of years with
the guy, but...it sounds to me
429
00:21:37,797 --> 00:21:40,132
like it's just more manipulation
on Matt's part.
430
00:21:40,232 --> 00:21:43,269
He is a master at that.
431
00:21:43,369 --> 00:21:46,772
Okay, yes, you all are right.
It could have been that.
432
00:21:46,872 --> 00:21:48,774
What do you two think?
433
00:21:48,874 --> 00:21:50,543
You think Matt's apologies
are genuine
434
00:21:50,643 --> 00:21:52,144
or just more smoke and mirrors?
435
00:21:52,244 --> 00:21:54,313
I didn't get the feeling
he was trying to mask anything.
436
00:21:54,413 --> 00:21:57,783
When we walked in and saw him
all worked up like that...
437
00:21:57,883 --> 00:21:59,852
seemed an awful lot
like the old Matt.
438
00:21:59,952 --> 00:22:02,021
It was unnerving,
to say the least.
439
00:22:02,121 --> 00:22:04,123
Okay, listen, I-I know,
I understand
440
00:22:04,223 --> 00:22:07,092
where you're all coming from,
I really do, but I just...
441
00:22:07,193 --> 00:22:08,594
it wasn't like that.
442
00:22:08,694 --> 00:22:11,363
It wasn't--yes, yes,
Matt was emotional,
443
00:22:11,463 --> 00:22:14,433
but it was coming from
frustration, not anger.
444
00:22:14,533 --> 00:22:16,168
And not once did I get the sense
445
00:22:16,268 --> 00:22:18,604
that he was on the verge
of violence.
446
00:22:18,704 --> 00:22:20,739
I'm not taking that guy's word
for anything.
447
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:24,076
If and when he does leave town,
I will do everything in my power
448
00:22:24,176 --> 00:22:25,711
to make sure
he never comes back.
449
00:22:25,811 --> 00:22:27,346
SIENNA: Okay, listen,
we gotta get ready.
450
00:22:27,446 --> 00:22:29,748
There are gonna be customers
coming soon.
451
00:22:30,816 --> 00:22:32,551
Let me know
if there's anything I can do
452
00:22:32,651 --> 00:22:34,553
to help speed up
Matt's departure.
453
00:22:34,653 --> 00:22:36,255
I'll take care of that.
454
00:22:36,355 --> 00:22:39,525
You just focus on
your business, bud.
455
00:22:43,596 --> 00:22:46,465
You're starting to scare me
a little bit, Nick.
456
00:22:46,565 --> 00:22:50,302
You said that you'll make sure
that Matt is gone for good.
457
00:22:50,402 --> 00:22:52,104
Tell me...
458
00:22:52,204 --> 00:22:54,874
that doesn't mean
what I think it does.
459
00:23:04,183 --> 00:23:05,818
Victor?
460
00:23:05,918 --> 00:23:07,720
Hey.
461
00:23:08,921 --> 00:23:12,258
The guard said I should
let myself in, so...
462
00:23:12,358 --> 00:23:15,227
So you have some news
regarding Cane Ashby?
463
00:23:16,262 --> 00:23:19,331
Not the reason I'm here,
actually.
464
00:23:19,431 --> 00:23:22,034
So what's the reason?
465
00:23:22,134 --> 00:23:24,203
W--okay, first of all,
466
00:23:24,303 --> 00:23:26,772
there isn't gonna be any report
on Cane Ashby.
467
00:23:26,872 --> 00:23:28,440
I cannot give you what you want.
468
00:23:28,540 --> 00:23:32,077
It's just not working, Victor.
I need to leave town.
469
00:23:32,177 --> 00:23:33,579
Is that right?
470
00:23:33,679 --> 00:23:35,247
I'm fighting a losing battle
here.
471
00:23:35,347 --> 00:23:37,116
No one's ever gonna believe
that I've changed,
472
00:23:37,216 --> 00:23:40,119
no matter what I do, no matter
how hard I try and prove it.
473
00:23:40,219 --> 00:23:41,787
I'm losing the fight.
474
00:23:41,887 --> 00:23:43,689
And if I'm gonna have a life,
any kind of life,
475
00:23:43,789 --> 00:23:45,958
a decent life...
476
00:23:46,058 --> 00:23:49,395
I need to get out of Genoa City.
I have to go.
477
00:23:49,495 --> 00:23:51,630
I decide
478
00:23:51,730 --> 00:23:55,200
if and when you leave town.
479
00:23:55,301 --> 00:23:57,369
And if you cannot
fulfill your mission
480
00:23:57,469 --> 00:24:01,006
regarding getting information
about Cane Ashby...
481
00:24:03,375 --> 00:24:07,646
Then I'm gonna have to rethink
the whole scenario.
482
00:24:09,014 --> 00:24:10,549
Maybe what people say in town,
483
00:24:10,649 --> 00:24:13,419
that you are pulling
a con job on me...
484
00:24:13,519 --> 00:24:15,587
is true.
485
00:24:15,688 --> 00:24:17,957
If that's the case,
486
00:24:18,057 --> 00:24:21,193
I will see to it
that you go to prison...
487
00:24:21,293 --> 00:24:23,529
or worse.
488
00:24:33,806 --> 00:24:36,241
This is not about Billy.
489
00:24:36,342 --> 00:24:38,510
It's about you, Sally.
490
00:24:38,610 --> 00:24:41,180
And me and Chelsea.
491
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:44,083
So Chelsea's on board with this
whole deal you're proposing too?
492
00:24:45,284 --> 00:24:47,052
She will be.
493
00:24:47,152 --> 00:24:48,687
[laughs]
494
00:24:48,787 --> 00:24:51,724
So you've gone totally rogue.
495
00:24:51,824 --> 00:24:54,626
I-I-I--I don't get it.
496
00:24:54,727 --> 00:24:56,762
I mean, why even get involved?
497
00:24:56,862 --> 00:24:59,531
Does it matter?
The bottom line is
498
00:24:59,631 --> 00:25:01,767
Victor has painted a target
on Spectra-Charles,
499
00:25:01,867 --> 00:25:04,269
and I'm offering you
a way out of his crosshairs.
500
00:25:04,370 --> 00:25:06,405
I appreciate the offer.
501
00:25:07,906 --> 00:25:09,975
And for the record,
I do believe you.
502
00:25:11,210 --> 00:25:14,046
I do feel like
you're trying to protect me.
503
00:25:14,146 --> 00:25:16,015
I am.
504
00:25:16,115 --> 00:25:18,684
Okay, but won't this
just make things worse for me?
505
00:25:18,784 --> 00:25:21,987
I mean, you'd obviously be going
behind your father's back.
506
00:25:22,087 --> 00:25:26,392
Well, that is the beauty of it.
He never has to know.
507
00:25:26,492 --> 00:25:28,660
Okay, well, how would you
explain the strategy
508
00:25:28,761 --> 00:25:31,263
behind getting Newman Media
out from under Spectra-Charles?
509
00:25:31,363 --> 00:25:34,433
I will claim that I wrestled it
away from you
510
00:25:34,533 --> 00:25:36,168
as a gift to him.
511
00:25:36,268 --> 00:25:38,804
No one needs to know
that I paid you for it.
512
00:25:38,904 --> 00:25:41,974
And in the end, you and Audra
will be compensated
513
00:25:42,074 --> 00:25:45,144
and you'll be spared
a bloody corporate battle.
514
00:25:45,244 --> 00:25:47,713
What you're offering
is very generous.
515
00:25:47,813 --> 00:25:51,383
Well, it would be my pleasure.
516
00:25:54,086 --> 00:25:56,155
That's the thing.
517
00:25:56,255 --> 00:25:58,290
I don't know if it'd be mine.
518
00:25:59,425 --> 00:26:01,026
What does that mean?
519
00:26:01,126 --> 00:26:04,963
Somehow, some way,
I would owe you.
520
00:26:05,064 --> 00:26:07,399
And I don't want that.
521
00:26:07,499 --> 00:26:09,501
So thank you.
522
00:26:09,601 --> 00:26:11,437
Really. But I'll pass.
523
00:26:14,073 --> 00:26:15,607
Sunset Blush.
524
00:26:18,110 --> 00:26:20,012
What did you just say?
525
00:26:20,112 --> 00:26:22,581
I didn't forget.
526
00:26:22,681 --> 00:26:25,484
The color of a pink rose
about to bloom...
527
00:26:25,584 --> 00:26:27,653
as you describe it.
528
00:26:29,288 --> 00:26:32,191
Yeah. It's the color I wanted
to paint Ava's nursery.
529
00:26:35,127 --> 00:26:37,196
You could never owe me, Sally.
530
00:26:38,730 --> 00:26:41,366
Not after Ava.
531
00:26:41,467 --> 00:26:44,470
Even if we make this deal...
532
00:26:44,570 --> 00:26:48,107
I will always owe you.
533
00:26:50,476 --> 00:26:52,578
I'm not the only one
who wants me gone, right?
534
00:26:52,678 --> 00:26:54,246
Talk to your family. Ask them.
535
00:26:54,346 --> 00:26:55,981
They don't want me
just off this property.
536
00:26:56,081 --> 00:26:57,916
They want me as far away
from this town
537
00:26:58,016 --> 00:26:59,218
as is humanly possible.
538
00:26:59,318 --> 00:27:00,586
You would be their hero
539
00:27:00,686 --> 00:27:03,255
if you banished me from
Genoa City once and for all.
540
00:27:05,023 --> 00:27:07,459
My family is not thinking
rationally.
541
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:11,430
If I let you go...
542
00:27:11,530 --> 00:27:13,565
you'll be the wild card.
543
00:27:13,665 --> 00:27:15,501
Look, man, I don't have
some grand plan, okay?
544
00:27:15,601 --> 00:27:17,169
It's not like
I'm gonna leave here
545
00:27:17,269 --> 00:27:20,372
and then come back with a scheme
of vengeance, all right?
546
00:27:20,472 --> 00:27:24,109
I-I--that's the old me.
I'm not that guy anymore.
547
00:27:24,209 --> 00:27:27,412
Once I remove
that ankle monitor...
548
00:27:27,513 --> 00:27:30,883
and the 24-7 surveillance...
549
00:27:30,983 --> 00:27:33,152
all bets are off.
550
00:27:34,486 --> 00:27:37,856
I won't survive here.
551
00:27:37,956 --> 00:27:40,893
Everywhere I go, all I encounter
552
00:27:40,993 --> 00:27:44,596
is hatred and rage
because of my past.
553
00:27:44,696 --> 00:27:47,966
You think long and hard...
554
00:27:48,066 --> 00:27:50,936
before you let me down.
555
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:04,383
You know I'm just trying to
protect you.
556
00:28:04,483 --> 00:28:06,318
I know.
557
00:28:06,418 --> 00:28:09,454
I don't care how chill the guy
seems when he talks to you.
558
00:28:09,555 --> 00:28:11,356
I still can't shake
who he used to be
559
00:28:11,456 --> 00:28:15,127
-and might be again.
-Okay. Listen.
560
00:28:15,227 --> 00:28:17,763
It really--it really seemed like
he was sorry.
561
00:28:19,598 --> 00:28:22,301
Have you forgotten what happened
in Vegas in the desert,
562
00:28:22,401 --> 00:28:23,635
how he almost tried to kill you?
563
00:28:23,735 --> 00:28:25,404
I almost killed him!
564
00:28:26,605 --> 00:28:28,941
Hey. Hey.
565
00:28:29,041 --> 00:28:32,811
Look, I know you feel guilty
about that still. I know.
566
00:28:32,911 --> 00:28:34,613
But you cannot give in to it,
okay?
567
00:28:34,713 --> 00:28:37,516
That's when he'll strike, when
he knows your guard is down.
568
00:28:37,616 --> 00:28:39,418
Okay? Just...
569
00:28:39,518 --> 00:28:41,987
just trust me on this.
570
00:28:45,224 --> 00:28:48,360
Sharon, I'm not gonna
do anything crazy.
571
00:28:48,460 --> 00:28:51,430
You talked about
removing Matt earlier,
572
00:28:51,530 --> 00:28:53,365
and now you're saying
you'll make sure
573
00:28:53,465 --> 00:28:55,234
that he never comes back.
574
00:28:55,334 --> 00:28:57,703
How, exactly, would you do that?
575
00:28:57,803 --> 00:28:59,671
You don't believe
he's gonna stay gone
576
00:28:59,771 --> 00:29:01,607
any more than I do.
577
00:29:01,707 --> 00:29:03,442
I know you're tormented,
578
00:29:03,542 --> 00:29:05,711
thinking that we will
never be rid of him.
579
00:29:05,811 --> 00:29:08,146
But I don't want that to mean
that you're gonna do something
580
00:29:08,247 --> 00:29:10,115
you'll end up regretting.
581
00:29:10,215 --> 00:29:12,484
Promise me that.
582
00:29:13,285 --> 00:29:15,187
I need to go let my dad know
583
00:29:15,287 --> 00:29:17,789
that Matt's plans
may have changed.
584
00:29:28,667 --> 00:29:31,336
[phone rings]
585
00:29:31,436 --> 00:29:33,972
Hey, stranger. Long time no see.
586
00:29:37,209 --> 00:29:39,344
What--wait. Wait a second.
Slow down.
587
00:29:39,444 --> 00:29:41,079
Slow down.
588
00:29:41,179 --> 00:29:43,282
What happened?
589
00:29:49,921 --> 00:29:53,392
I would never leverage this
against you, okay?
590
00:29:53,492 --> 00:29:55,394
This is a free and clear
negotiation.
591
00:29:55,494 --> 00:29:58,930
I get what I want,
and you get compensated for it.
592
00:29:59,031 --> 00:30:02,501
That's better than going to war
against Victor, don't you think?
593
00:30:02,601 --> 00:30:05,270
I mean, there's so many ways
to retaliate
594
00:30:05,370 --> 00:30:07,673
for being left out of
your father's resurrection
595
00:30:07,773 --> 00:30:09,508
of Newman Enterprises.
596
00:30:09,608 --> 00:30:11,810
Why do this?
597
00:30:15,881 --> 00:30:18,583
I know that I hurt you, Sally.
598
00:30:18,684 --> 00:30:21,153
For what I did.
599
00:30:21,253 --> 00:30:23,955
Lying to you and making you
feel like you were crazy
600
00:30:24,056 --> 00:30:26,258
for doubting me.
601
00:30:26,358 --> 00:30:28,393
It was wrong.
602
00:30:28,493 --> 00:30:30,095
And I'm so sorry.
603
00:30:32,297 --> 00:30:34,733
It was in the past, Adam.
604
00:30:34,833 --> 00:30:36,802
I know.
605
00:30:36,902 --> 00:30:39,338
But it still haunts me.
606
00:30:39,438 --> 00:30:41,373
And knowing
what my dad has planned,
607
00:30:41,473 --> 00:30:43,608
I don't want him
to hurt you too.
608
00:30:45,177 --> 00:30:48,380
So I'm asking you
to just let me do this.
609
00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:50,515
Trust me to handle this.
610
00:30:52,517 --> 00:30:55,087
If your father finds out
that you went behind--
611
00:30:55,187 --> 00:30:57,989
I will make sure
that he doesn't.
612
00:30:58,090 --> 00:31:00,425
Okay. But not a lot
gets by your father.
613
00:31:02,194 --> 00:31:04,363
So if he does find out...
614
00:31:05,731 --> 00:31:08,066
...are you prepared for
the fallout?
615
00:31:13,138 --> 00:31:15,607
VICTOR: Hey, son.
616
00:31:15,707 --> 00:31:19,511
Hey, Dad, uh, glad you're here.
617
00:31:19,611 --> 00:31:22,781
I wanted to give you
a heads up.
618
00:31:22,881 --> 00:31:27,352
You mean about Matt Clark's
decision to leave town?
619
00:31:27,452 --> 00:31:29,788
How'd you hear about that?
620
00:31:29,888 --> 00:31:31,923
From Matt Clark.
621
00:31:33,158 --> 00:31:35,794
I told him to let me
handle things with you.
622
00:31:37,496 --> 00:31:38,830
Mm-hmm.
623
00:31:38,930 --> 00:31:41,833
What do you think
prompted him to...
624
00:31:41,933 --> 00:31:44,369
want to leave?
625
00:31:44,469 --> 00:31:46,605
I think he finally realized
626
00:31:46,705 --> 00:31:48,707
that he is fighting
a losing battle here,
627
00:31:48,807 --> 00:31:50,275
that none of us
are ever gonna believe
628
00:31:50,375 --> 00:31:54,212
that he's not gonna turn back
into the monster he was before.
629
00:31:54,312 --> 00:31:57,916
His deal with me was contingent
on him staying put.
630
00:31:58,016 --> 00:32:01,553
Yeah. He said you might
have a problem with that.
631
00:32:01,653 --> 00:32:04,222
Certainly might, yes.
632
00:32:04,322 --> 00:32:06,291
Well...
633
00:32:06,391 --> 00:32:08,193
I find it very hard to believe
634
00:32:08,293 --> 00:32:12,731
that he's willing to leave town
and risk your wrath
635
00:32:12,831 --> 00:32:16,101
just because we're not all
lining up to hear his apologies.
636
00:32:16,201 --> 00:32:18,570
Do you think he has an agenda?
637
00:32:18,670 --> 00:32:21,807
I don't know, Dad.
638
00:32:21,907 --> 00:32:24,476
I just...
639
00:32:24,576 --> 00:32:26,912
I don't believe
anything he says.
640
00:32:27,012 --> 00:32:28,814
I don't trust him.
641
00:32:28,914 --> 00:32:31,049
Well, the fact that he was
willing to
642
00:32:31,149 --> 00:32:34,119
break his agreement with me
643
00:32:34,219 --> 00:32:36,521
makes me not trust him.
644
00:32:36,621 --> 00:32:39,224
Although he did save
your life, you know.
645
00:32:41,026 --> 00:32:44,930
Yeah, well, my gratitude
for that only goes so far.
646
00:32:45,030 --> 00:32:47,098
Yeah, I agree.
647
00:32:48,500 --> 00:32:50,135
Let me ask you.
648
00:32:50,235 --> 00:32:53,972
If his fate were in your hands,
what would you do?
649
00:33:00,111 --> 00:33:02,547
You okay, Mom?
650
00:33:02,647 --> 00:33:04,716
I don't know.
651
00:33:04,816 --> 00:33:08,053
You're worried Matt's
not really leaving, aren't you?
652
00:33:08,153 --> 00:33:10,355
It would be foolish of us
653
00:33:10,455 --> 00:33:13,758
to believe that we could finally
be rid of him,
654
00:33:13,859 --> 00:33:16,761
especially considering how many
times we thought that before.
655
00:33:16,862 --> 00:33:18,597
Yeah, he better not
show his face back here.
656
00:33:18,697 --> 00:33:21,166
The fact that he was brazen
enough to do it more than once
657
00:33:21,266 --> 00:33:22,634
tells me he hasn't changed
658
00:33:22,734 --> 00:33:24,736
as much as he wants people
to believe he has.
659
00:33:24,836 --> 00:33:30,308
Even if the kinder, gentler
version of Matt is for real,
660
00:33:30,408 --> 00:33:32,811
I still prefer he leave.
661
00:33:32,911 --> 00:33:35,280
Okay, wait. So you think he
might have really changed too?
662
00:33:35,380 --> 00:33:37,616
I'm glad I'm not the only one.
663
00:33:37,716 --> 00:33:40,485
You know, I'm starting to think
he's actually getting to you.
664
00:33:40,585 --> 00:33:43,121
Come on, Sienna.
You know better than anyone
665
00:33:43,221 --> 00:33:45,156
what a master manipulator
Matt is.
666
00:33:45,257 --> 00:33:48,293
I do. Trust me,
I still got my guard up.
667
00:33:48,393 --> 00:33:51,062
You know, Nick,
he left in a hurry, huh?
668
00:33:51,162 --> 00:33:54,366
Yeah, well, he wanted to
alert Victor
669
00:33:54,466 --> 00:33:57,235
as to Matt's new plans.
670
00:33:57,335 --> 00:33:58,837
Personally, I wish he would
671
00:33:58,937 --> 00:34:01,273
just let Matt deal with Victor
on his own.
672
00:34:01,373 --> 00:34:04,242
I'm not sure who
you're more worried about--
673
00:34:04,342 --> 00:34:06,745
Dad or Matt.
674
00:34:06,845 --> 00:34:08,880
I'm not sure either.
675
00:34:08,980 --> 00:34:12,017
Dad seems like he's got things
under control.
676
00:34:12,117 --> 00:34:15,453
I mean, he's going to rehab
and all of his meetings.
677
00:34:15,554 --> 00:34:17,122
I know he's worried about
Grandma,
678
00:34:17,222 --> 00:34:19,758
but it sounded like
he's on top of that.
679
00:34:19,858 --> 00:34:21,726
Well, he is worried about Nikki.
680
00:34:21,826 --> 00:34:24,062
It's all starting
to take a toll.
681
00:34:24,162 --> 00:34:26,097
Are you worried
that all the stress
682
00:34:26,197 --> 00:34:28,199
is gonna make Nick
wanna use again?
683
00:34:28,300 --> 00:34:31,536
You know what I'm really
afraid of?
684
00:34:31,636 --> 00:34:34,573
If Matt doesn't leave...
685
00:34:34,673 --> 00:34:37,642
his lingering presence
686
00:34:37,742 --> 00:34:41,613
could be as deadly to Nick
as the drugs were.
687
00:34:44,583 --> 00:34:46,318
[rapid approaching footsteps]
688
00:34:46,418 --> 00:34:47,819
Oh.
689
00:34:47,919 --> 00:34:49,788
Here you are. You're fine.
690
00:34:49,888 --> 00:34:52,757
Off that phone call,
your urgency,
691
00:34:52,857 --> 00:34:54,993
I expected you to be beaten
and battered.
692
00:34:55,093 --> 00:34:56,928
Only on the inside.
693
00:34:57,028 --> 00:34:59,564
Well, whatever's going on,
I'm sure you can fix it.
694
00:34:59,664 --> 00:35:02,000
No. The only way
I'm gonna fix this one
695
00:35:02,100 --> 00:35:04,903
is to get the hell outta town
and never look back.
696
00:35:06,037 --> 00:35:09,274
That's why you called me?
To tell me you're leaving?
697
00:35:09,374 --> 00:35:11,643
No, I called you
because I thought you might be
698
00:35:11,743 --> 00:35:12,978
the one person who cared.
699
00:35:13,078 --> 00:35:15,680
I do care. I do.
700
00:35:15,780 --> 00:35:17,916
I'm not letting you go.
