1
00:01:07,501 --> 00:01:10,971
If my prayers are answered...
2
00:01:11,071 --> 00:01:14,541
I'll be able to see myself
by the end of the day.
3
00:01:16,076 --> 00:01:17,778
VICTOR: I spoke to your mother
4
00:01:17,878 --> 00:01:20,514
last night about what's ahead.
5
00:01:21,782 --> 00:01:25,152
And obviously, she is concerned
6
00:01:25,252 --> 00:01:27,854
that her present condition
may be permanent.
7
00:01:27,955 --> 00:01:29,923
Well, once she gets those
bandages off,
8
00:01:30,023 --> 00:01:32,492
no matter what happens,
we're gonna make sure she knows
9
00:01:32,593 --> 00:01:34,261
she has all of our love
and support.
10
00:01:34,361 --> 00:01:35,662
-VICTORIA: Yes.
-VICTOR: Exactly.
11
00:01:35,762 --> 00:01:37,764
That's exactly
what we're gonna do.
12
00:01:37,864 --> 00:01:39,866
But it's pretty much time
to get going, so I'm going to
13
00:01:39,967 --> 00:01:41,802
-go check on Mom.
-All right.
14
00:01:45,706 --> 00:01:47,341
What's got you so glued
to that phone?
15
00:01:47,441 --> 00:01:50,811
Well, you know that Matt Clark
has an ankle monitor on
16
00:01:50,911 --> 00:01:53,914
so I can follow exactly
as to where he is,
17
00:01:54,014 --> 00:01:57,584
and it seems he spent the night
at the Athletic Club.
18
00:01:57,684 --> 00:01:59,886
So he didn't leave town.
19
00:01:59,987 --> 00:02:03,190
And you're not gonna like
who he stayed with.
20
00:02:36,323 --> 00:02:37,891
Hey.
21
00:02:37,991 --> 00:02:39,826
Morning.
22
00:02:43,664 --> 00:02:48,568
♪♪
23
00:03:15,662 --> 00:03:18,765
Are you saying Matt Clark
was with Phyllis?
24
00:03:18,865 --> 00:03:20,567
You know, it was bad enough
watching them make out
25
00:03:20,667 --> 00:03:22,235
in the middle of
the Athletic Club,
26
00:03:22,335 --> 00:03:24,304
but then watching Phyllis
take him upstairs...
27
00:03:24,404 --> 00:03:25,939
I just couldn't believe it.
28
00:03:26,039 --> 00:03:28,075
-Did you confront them?
-Yeah.
29
00:03:28,175 --> 00:03:31,445
I wanted to know why
Matt was still in town
30
00:03:31,545 --> 00:03:34,014
and why Phyllis was trying to
convince him to stay.
31
00:03:34,114 --> 00:03:35,615
I mean, she was telling Matt
that he needed
32
00:03:35,716 --> 00:03:38,118
to stand his ground
and not be intimidated by us.
33
00:03:38,218 --> 00:03:39,953
Do you think he listened to her?
34
00:03:40,053 --> 00:03:43,557
I don't know. I went upstairs
and knocked on their...
35
00:03:43,657 --> 00:03:46,193
the door to their suite.
They didn't open it.
36
00:03:46,293 --> 00:03:48,495
-You went to Phyllis's suite?
-Yeah, Dad.
37
00:03:48,595 --> 00:03:52,532
I'm worried about her.
I know Phyllis just...
38
00:03:52,632 --> 00:03:55,001
Matt's got his whole
kicked puppy thing going on,
39
00:03:55,102 --> 00:03:56,670
but I know how dangerous he is.
40
00:03:56,770 --> 00:03:59,339
I know what he's capable of,
and Phyllis refuses to see it.
41
00:03:59,439 --> 00:04:01,475
And the fact
that she is actively
42
00:04:01,575 --> 00:04:05,078
lobbying him to stay in town
is insane to me.
43
00:04:05,178 --> 00:04:07,047
You're right.
44
00:04:07,147 --> 00:04:10,016
She should be resurrecting
the company I gave her.
45
00:04:10,117 --> 00:04:12,953
Well, I'll tell you, last night
business was the last thing
46
00:04:13,053 --> 00:04:14,654
on her mind.
47
00:04:14,755 --> 00:04:17,090
You ready?
48
00:04:18,558 --> 00:04:20,026
I am.
49
00:04:20,127 --> 00:04:21,795
I am just grateful
Detective Burrow was able
50
00:04:21,895 --> 00:04:25,298
to arrange this video call
with Martin so quickly.
51
00:04:25,398 --> 00:04:28,502
Yah, hopefully Martin will be
the key to the information
52
00:04:28,602 --> 00:04:29,870
we need to find Markham.
53
00:04:29,970 --> 00:04:31,505
And there's still time
to back out
54
00:04:31,605 --> 00:04:33,073
if you don't wanna do
this, Traci.
55
00:04:33,173 --> 00:04:36,042
We would all understand, after
what Martin put you through.
56
00:04:36,143 --> 00:04:39,246
I am more than ready for this.
I am.
57
00:04:40,180 --> 00:04:42,983
And I wanna thank you all for
being here for moral support.
58
00:04:43,083 --> 00:04:44,351
-I appreciate it.
-JACK: We will be here
59
00:04:44,451 --> 00:04:46,920
every step of the way.
60
00:04:47,020 --> 00:04:49,956
And can I ask a favor?
Don't say anything, okay?
61
00:04:50,056 --> 00:04:52,759
Don't even make a sound
no matter what Martin says,
62
00:04:52,859 --> 00:04:56,730
because I'm afraid that if he
thinks people are listening in,
63
00:04:56,830 --> 00:04:59,232
-he'll shut down.
-Well, I don't like it,
64
00:04:59,332 --> 00:05:01,701
but, yeah, it's probably
the best decision.
65
00:05:03,069 --> 00:05:04,805
TRACI: Here we go. [ahem]
66
00:05:06,106 --> 00:05:07,307
[click]
67
00:05:09,009 --> 00:05:10,510
Martin?
68
00:05:10,610 --> 00:05:11,845
MARTIN: Traci.
69
00:05:13,947 --> 00:05:16,883
I can't tell you how wonderful
it is to see you.
70
00:05:25,959 --> 00:05:27,561
You're looking well.
71
00:05:27,661 --> 00:05:30,564
Beautiful as ever.
72
00:05:30,664 --> 00:05:34,301
I can't tell you how surprised
I was and grateful
73
00:05:34,401 --> 00:05:36,770
to hear that you wanted
to talk to me, and...
74
00:05:36,870 --> 00:05:39,206
does that mean you've been
receiving my letters?
75
00:05:39,306 --> 00:05:41,474
Yes, I have.
76
00:05:41,575 --> 00:05:45,378
[exhales] I'm so relieved.
77
00:05:45,478 --> 00:05:48,548
Not that I thought
you would respond, but...
78
00:05:48,648 --> 00:05:51,918
I thought the staff here
was not letting them go through.
79
00:05:52,018 --> 00:05:55,956
For which I blame the imbecilic
practitioner overseeing my case.
80
00:05:56,056 --> 00:05:59,259
She tries to restrict
my every move.
81
00:05:59,359 --> 00:06:02,495
Tries to control my actions,
my mind.
82
00:06:02,596 --> 00:06:05,866
Ha ha. Of course,
she's too obtuse to realize
83
00:06:05,966 --> 00:06:08,368
that it is I who's in control.
84
00:06:09,803 --> 00:06:11,771
But you, uh...
85
00:06:11,872 --> 00:06:13,940
you didn't reach out to discuss
86
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:16,977
the limits of modern
psychiatry, did you?
87
00:06:17,077 --> 00:06:20,213
-I did not.
-Shame. Really.
88
00:06:21,648 --> 00:06:24,150
Remember those long talks
we used to have?
89
00:06:24,251 --> 00:06:27,721
Over wine...
at our favorite café.
90
00:06:28,555 --> 00:06:30,824
Long walks along the Seine...
91
00:06:32,225 --> 00:06:34,661
I treasure those memories
more than you know.
92
00:06:34,761 --> 00:06:37,564
I think about you
all the time, Traci.
93
00:06:37,664 --> 00:06:40,300
So much so that I dare to hope
94
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:45,171
that sometimes,
despite the way things ended,
95
00:06:45,272 --> 00:06:47,774
I'm not so far away
from your thoughts.
96
00:06:47,874 --> 00:06:52,712
Martin, um, this is not
exactly a social call,
97
00:06:52,812 --> 00:06:56,182
and I do not want to discuss
the past with you.
98
00:06:56,283 --> 00:06:59,686
I'm reaching out
because I need your help.
99
00:06:59,786 --> 00:07:02,722
It's the least I can do after
all the anguish I've caused you.
100
00:07:02,822 --> 00:07:05,892
Do you know a therapist
by the name
101
00:07:05,992 --> 00:07:08,261
of Dr. Laurence Markham?
102
00:07:08,361 --> 00:07:10,563
Markham?
103
00:07:10,664 --> 00:07:13,633
How could I forget
the good doctor?
104
00:07:19,506 --> 00:07:22,309
You didn't have to sleep
on the sofa.
105
00:07:22,409 --> 00:07:25,278
I, um, I didn't wanna be
presumptuous.
106
00:07:25,378 --> 00:07:26,980
Oh!
107
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,049
What a gentleman.
108
00:07:30,450 --> 00:07:31,751
Thank you.
109
00:07:31,851 --> 00:07:34,054
Nobody's ever called me that
before.
110
00:07:34,154 --> 00:07:35,989
They haven't? Really?
111
00:07:36,089 --> 00:07:37,424
Well, you are a gentleman.
112
00:07:37,524 --> 00:07:39,326
You're also
a really good kisser.
113
00:07:39,426 --> 00:07:41,194
-I enjoyed that.
-I enjoyed...
114
00:07:41,294 --> 00:07:44,264
the kissing part very much.
115
00:07:44,364 --> 00:07:46,700
You put on the brakes.
116
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,035
I did.
I'm not sticking around,
117
00:07:49,135 --> 00:07:51,671
and I didn't wanna take
advantage of the situation
118
00:07:51,771 --> 00:07:53,540
-and then head out.
-Oh, really?
119
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:56,509
Who said
you'd be taking advantage?
120
00:07:56,609 --> 00:07:59,512
The smart thing for you to do
is throw me out right now
121
00:07:59,612 --> 00:08:02,649
and just never see me again.
122
00:08:02,749 --> 00:08:04,551
You have issues.
123
00:08:04,651 --> 00:08:07,721
-Yeah, so many.
-[laughs]
124
00:08:08,922 --> 00:08:11,424
I think...
I might have them too.
125
00:08:11,524 --> 00:08:13,059
-No. No.
-No, I do.
126
00:08:13,159 --> 00:08:16,363
-None.
-I think...[small laugh]
127
00:08:16,463 --> 00:08:21,001
I think that's why we connect.
Because...
128
00:08:21,101 --> 00:08:24,237
we may both have issues,
and that's our connection.
129
00:08:24,337 --> 00:08:26,339
Maybe.
130
00:08:26,439 --> 00:08:27,807
No.
131
00:08:29,743 --> 00:08:31,611
I don't think so.
132
00:08:31,711 --> 00:08:35,548
You know what I think
you should stop doing is, um,
133
00:08:35,648 --> 00:08:38,051
thinking you're a monster.
134
00:08:38,151 --> 00:08:41,955
You should stop your apology
tour. Just end it right now.
135
00:08:42,055 --> 00:08:46,159
Because I don't see a monster.
I see a really great guy,
136
00:08:46,259 --> 00:08:49,095
and, um, I see a guy
137
00:08:49,195 --> 00:08:50,730
who makes me laugh.
138
00:08:50,830 --> 00:08:53,033
You made me laugh last night.
139
00:08:53,133 --> 00:08:55,902
I also feel safe with you.
140
00:08:58,471 --> 00:09:01,608
You know, that's the safest
I've felt in a really long time.
141
00:09:01,708 --> 00:09:05,845
I slept the best
I've slept in a...while.
142
00:09:08,214 --> 00:09:10,850
That's a very kind thing
for you to say. Thank you.
143
00:09:12,252 --> 00:09:13,720
Doesn't make up
for all the horrible things
144
00:09:13,820 --> 00:09:15,688
-I've done in my life.
-Okay, but see,
145
00:09:15,789 --> 00:09:17,490
there you are
thinking about the past.
146
00:09:17,590 --> 00:09:19,659
Don't do that.
147
00:09:19,759 --> 00:09:22,328
Just stay here.
148
00:09:22,429 --> 00:09:27,000
It's called the here and now.
It's a lot more fun.
149
00:09:28,568 --> 00:09:29,936
Sensing that.
150
00:09:30,036 --> 00:09:32,906
So you asked me out on a date.
151
00:09:33,006 --> 00:09:35,708
I mean, when are we--
when are we doing that?
152
00:09:35,809 --> 00:09:38,511
When are we going on a date?
153
00:09:40,113 --> 00:09:42,715
You know what would happen
if we went on a date?
154
00:09:42,816 --> 00:09:45,051
Here's what'd happen.
155
00:09:45,151 --> 00:09:47,620
Nick, your ex-husband,
he'd bang on the door again
156
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:49,989
like he did last night.
He'd tear into us like he did
157
00:09:50,090 --> 00:09:52,392
-in the restaurant downstairs.
-It doesn't matter. Who cares?
158
00:09:52,492 --> 00:09:54,194
-It does.
-We'll ignore him like we did
159
00:09:54,294 --> 00:09:55,929
-last night--who cares?
-I don't know, Phyllis.
160
00:09:56,029 --> 00:09:58,264
I'm starting to get
the impression that
161
00:09:58,364 --> 00:10:02,402
Nick might be jealous
of any man you're ever with.
162
00:10:04,704 --> 00:10:07,507
There she is. Good job, Mom.
163
00:10:07,607 --> 00:10:09,542
-Yes.
-You look amazing.
164
00:10:09,642 --> 00:10:11,578
-You ready to attack the day?
-You know what
165
00:10:11,678 --> 00:10:15,248
the amazing thing is?
Mom got ready all on her own.
166
00:10:15,348 --> 00:10:17,650
Victoria was a big help.
167
00:10:17,750 --> 00:10:21,921
I'm afraid I'm not very adept
at living without my sight.
168
00:10:22,021 --> 00:10:23,890
Not yet, anyway.
169
00:10:23,990 --> 00:10:25,725
No, no, no. None of that, Mom.
170
00:10:25,825 --> 00:10:27,627
Positive vibes only, right?
171
00:10:27,727 --> 00:10:29,496
I'm trying my best.
172
00:10:29,596 --> 00:10:33,032
I'm prepared to accept
whatever the day brings.
173
00:10:33,133 --> 00:10:35,935
That's what I wanna hear.
I'm proud of you.
174
00:10:42,642 --> 00:10:46,012
Is your father here?
175
00:10:46,112 --> 00:10:48,181
I'm right here.
176
00:10:48,281 --> 00:10:51,751
Will you be joining us?
177
00:10:58,558 --> 00:11:00,126
I know you were concerned
178
00:11:00,226 --> 00:11:02,195
that there might be
too many people in the room,
179
00:11:02,295 --> 00:11:05,298
so if you'd rather not go...
180
00:11:05,398 --> 00:11:07,167
No, no, I'd like to go.
181
00:11:07,267 --> 00:11:09,435
Unless, of course,
you have changed your mind.
182
00:11:09,536 --> 00:11:11,571
No, I-I didn't say that.
183
00:11:11,671 --> 00:11:13,806
It's completely up to you.
184
00:11:13,907 --> 00:11:15,942
VICTORIA: Of course
Dad wants to be there.
185
00:11:16,042 --> 00:11:19,412
Of course he does.
So we're all gonna go together.
186
00:11:19,512 --> 00:11:23,416
All right,
then we should head out.
187
00:11:23,516 --> 00:11:27,153
-I'll drive.
-BOTH: [chuckling]
188
00:11:27,253 --> 00:11:28,855
NICK: Let's take your Ferrari,
Mom.
189
00:11:28,955 --> 00:11:30,089
NIKKI: Yeah!
190
00:11:30,190 --> 00:11:32,125
Trust me, Nick isn't jealous
191
00:11:32,225 --> 00:11:34,260
of anyone that
I'm potentially seeing.
192
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,796
Yeah. But I think any man
who'd give up on you
193
00:11:36,896 --> 00:11:39,499
would live to regret it.
194
00:11:40,867 --> 00:11:44,137
No. Nick isn't upset
195
00:11:44,237 --> 00:11:47,941
because he has romantic
intentions toward me.
196
00:11:48,041 --> 00:11:51,377
He's a white knight, you know?
He likes to save people.
197
00:11:51,477 --> 00:11:54,314
Ah. No residual feelings
at all between the two of you?
198
00:11:54,414 --> 00:11:55,982
-No!
-Oh, my goodness.
199
00:11:56,082 --> 00:12:00,320
When the man OD'd, you were in
like a thousand percent.
200
00:12:00,420 --> 00:12:02,755
Well, of course I was.
Because he OD'd.
201
00:12:02,855 --> 00:12:04,457
He's the father of my daughter.
202
00:12:04,557 --> 00:12:06,292
You practically
willed him back to life.
203
00:12:06,392 --> 00:12:08,561
You willed his breath
back into his lungs.
204
00:12:08,661 --> 00:12:11,864
You can deny it all you want.
There are some feelings
205
00:12:11,965 --> 00:12:13,833
that are unresolved
from both sides.
206
00:12:13,933 --> 00:12:15,835
I'm not getting in the middle
of anything like that.
207
00:12:15,935 --> 00:12:17,537
But there's no middle
to get into.
208
00:12:17,637 --> 00:12:18,905
Nick hates me already.
209
00:12:19,005 --> 00:12:21,007
I'm not gonna give him
another reason to hate me.
210
00:12:21,107 --> 00:12:23,376
-Oh, can we forget about Nick?
-That doesn't work.
211
00:12:23,476 --> 00:12:25,278
You can't tell somebody
to forget about something.
212
00:12:25,378 --> 00:12:27,413
Of course I can. Of course.
Forget about him.
213
00:12:27,513 --> 00:12:29,916
What, you wanna run?
Is that what you wanna do?
214
00:12:30,016 --> 00:12:31,951
No, I prefer to look at it
like I wanna explore life
215
00:12:32,051 --> 00:12:33,753
somewhere else,
away from Nick and the Newmans
216
00:12:33,853 --> 00:12:35,255
where I can walk out
the front door
217
00:12:35,355 --> 00:12:37,090
without anybody hating on me.
218
00:12:37,190 --> 00:12:39,459
All right, well, you can go.
219
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:42,228
I mean, you can.
I'm not gonna stand in your way.
220
00:12:42,328 --> 00:12:43,630
Go.
221
00:12:44,964 --> 00:12:47,467
I would just be really
disappointed to realize
222
00:12:47,567 --> 00:12:49,602
that you were the kind of guy
who gave up on something
223
00:12:49,702 --> 00:12:53,339
that could, you know,
potentially change your life.
224
00:12:53,439 --> 00:12:55,575
I'm really hungry
and I don't have any money.
225
00:12:55,675 --> 00:12:57,710
-Will you buy me breakfast?
-Yeah.
226
00:12:57,810 --> 00:13:00,113
-Thank you.
-Okay. Let's go.
227
00:13:01,381 --> 00:13:05,151
Also, uh, be prepared
to continue this conversation.
228
00:13:05,251 --> 00:13:09,322
And you should know
I don't take no for an answer.
229
00:13:12,859 --> 00:13:15,194
How well do you know
Dr. Markham?
230
00:13:15,295 --> 00:13:17,664
Well, he was friends with Alan,
231
00:13:17,764 --> 00:13:19,666
so I met him on
several occasions,
232
00:13:19,766 --> 00:13:22,702
and, of course,
when I was living as Alan.
233
00:13:23,803 --> 00:13:25,571
Why are you interested
in the man?
234
00:13:25,672 --> 00:13:27,206
He has partnered with a woman
235
00:13:27,307 --> 00:13:31,911
who has terrorized my family
in the past and has returned.
236
00:13:32,011 --> 00:13:35,715
He kidnapped Diane
and he tried to convince her
237
00:13:35,815 --> 00:13:37,784
that she had had
some sort of breakdown
238
00:13:37,884 --> 00:13:39,485
and needed therapy, but...
239
00:13:39,585 --> 00:13:41,954
the bottom line is
she was his prisoner.
240
00:13:42,055 --> 00:13:44,791
And I assume Diane is safe now?
241
00:13:44,891 --> 00:13:46,759
Yes, she is.
242
00:13:46,859 --> 00:13:50,797
But Markham has fled
and he's in hiding,
243
00:13:50,897 --> 00:13:53,633
and until we know where he is,
he's still a threat.
244
00:13:53,733 --> 00:13:55,435
Yeah.
245
00:13:55,535 --> 00:13:57,403
That's quite the story.
246
00:13:58,971 --> 00:14:02,475
Perhaps your family should avoid
psychiatrists from here on out.
247
00:14:02,575 --> 00:14:05,144
Seems like you don't have
much luck in that regard.
248
00:14:05,244 --> 00:14:07,814
TRACI: [sighs] You are not
249
00:14:07,914 --> 00:14:09,349
a psychiatrist, Martin.
250
00:14:09,449 --> 00:14:11,484
You were just pretending to be.
251
00:14:11,584 --> 00:14:13,886
The only difference between me
and the real deal, Traci,
252
00:14:13,986 --> 00:14:15,221
is a piece of paper.
253
00:14:15,321 --> 00:14:17,690
And yet, look at all
the damage you've done,
254
00:14:17,790 --> 00:14:20,093
and not just to me.
255
00:14:20,193 --> 00:14:23,196
No, you're right. I'm sorry.
256
00:14:23,296 --> 00:14:25,832
Forever and ever.
I've said it over and over
257
00:14:25,932 --> 00:14:28,901
in my letters.
I deeply regret how I hurt you.
258
00:14:29,001 --> 00:14:31,704
Then talk to me.
Anything you know
259
00:14:31,804 --> 00:14:34,774
about Dr. Markham
would be really helpful.
260
00:14:34,874 --> 00:14:37,009
You're the one who says
that you owe me
261
00:14:37,110 --> 00:14:38,811
because of all the pain
that you've caused.
262
00:14:38,911 --> 00:14:43,649
If that is sincere,
this is how you can pay me back.
263
00:14:56,229 --> 00:14:57,497
Morning.
264
00:14:57,597 --> 00:14:59,031
Good morning, Doctor.
265
00:14:59,132 --> 00:15:00,433
How you feeling?
266
00:15:00,533 --> 00:15:02,301
I-I'm a little nervous.
267
00:15:02,402 --> 00:15:04,237
Are you here alone?
268
00:15:04,337 --> 00:15:06,606
No. My family is out
in the waiting room.
269
00:15:06,706 --> 00:15:07,907
Oh, good.
270
00:15:08,007 --> 00:15:11,077
Before I remove the bandages,
I want to remind you
271
00:15:11,177 --> 00:15:13,279
that what you experience
once they come off
272
00:15:13,379 --> 00:15:14,981
isn't necessarily an indication
273
00:15:15,081 --> 00:15:17,483
of what you can expect
moving forward.
274
00:15:17,583 --> 00:15:20,453
All sorts of things can
contribute to ongoing blindness
275
00:15:20,553 --> 00:15:22,755
after a surgery like yours.
276
00:15:22,855 --> 00:15:26,559
The optic nerve
is incredibly delicate.
277
00:15:26,659 --> 00:15:28,528
Because the tumor
was pressing against it,
278
00:15:28,628 --> 00:15:31,631
it's possible
that it hasn't yet fully healed.
279
00:15:31,731 --> 00:15:35,368
That doesn't mean it won't.
It'd just be a matter of time.
280
00:15:36,602 --> 00:15:39,605
-Do you have any questions?
-No, I understand.
281
00:15:39,705 --> 00:15:42,475
Good.
Well, then let's get started.
282
00:15:42,575 --> 00:15:44,577
I'll be removing the bandages
one at a time.
283
00:15:44,677 --> 00:15:47,680
-Are you ready?
-Yes.
284
00:15:47,780 --> 00:15:50,049
No! Um, wait, Doctor, um...
285
00:15:50,149 --> 00:15:51,851
What is it?
286
00:15:51,951 --> 00:15:54,120
I thought I could
do this alone,
287
00:15:54,220 --> 00:15:57,657
but I'm actually quite anxious.
288
00:15:57,757 --> 00:15:59,125
Would it be all right
289
00:15:59,225 --> 00:16:02,562
if I had someone from my family
be in here with me?
290
00:16:02,662 --> 00:16:03,830
Of course.
291
00:16:03,930 --> 00:16:05,665
But given the size of the room,
292
00:16:05,765 --> 00:16:08,334
I'll have to limit you
to only one family member.
293
00:16:08,434 --> 00:16:11,404
Who would you like to join you?
294
00:16:13,339 --> 00:16:15,174
Thank you.
295
00:16:15,274 --> 00:16:16,742
Oh! Oh, thank you.
296
00:16:16,843 --> 00:16:18,611
You're welcome.
297
00:16:18,711 --> 00:16:22,148
The empanadas are amazing.
298
00:16:23,449 --> 00:16:25,818
Another--another reason
for you to stick around.
299
00:16:25,918 --> 00:16:27,954
-Thank you very much.
-Yeah.
300
00:16:28,054 --> 00:16:30,256
Lord knows--thank you--
I do love a good empanada.
301
00:16:30,356 --> 00:16:32,792
But this place is owned by
Victor Newman's daughter Abby
302
00:16:32,892 --> 00:16:34,727
and Abby's a Newman,
so she hates me,
303
00:16:34,827 --> 00:16:38,130
so the empanadas're actually a
reason for me to get outta town.
304
00:16:38,231 --> 00:16:40,766
No, no, Abby is like...no.
She's harmless.
305
00:16:40,867 --> 00:16:42,068
-She's nothing.
-Oh!
306
00:16:42,168 --> 00:16:45,104
-Yeah.
-She's the harmless Newman.
307
00:16:45,204 --> 00:16:46,906
I see. Okay.
308
00:16:47,006 --> 00:16:49,308
Um, listen to me, cheerleader
309
00:16:49,408 --> 00:16:52,011
for the lovely township
of Genoa City.
310
00:16:52,111 --> 00:16:55,648
It's gonna require a greater
incentive for me to stay
311
00:16:55,748 --> 00:16:57,850
in a place where nobody's
ever gonna look past my past
312
00:16:57,950 --> 00:17:00,386
than just a perfectly prepared,
airy pastry.
313
00:17:00,486 --> 00:17:02,722
I'm just, um, I'm just
working it out, you know?
314
00:17:02,822 --> 00:17:07,326
I'm just coming up with...
with...
315
00:17:07,426 --> 00:17:09,562
things that will
make your decision to stay
316
00:17:09,662 --> 00:17:11,597
a little easier.
317
00:17:11,697 --> 00:17:14,233
You're a woman who's very,
very used to getting her way.
318
00:17:14,333 --> 00:17:16,369
Yeah.
319
00:17:16,469 --> 00:17:18,237
I feel seen.
320
00:17:18,337 --> 00:17:19,872
I'm so glad.
321
00:17:20,740 --> 00:17:24,677
Okay. Let's think this through.
322
00:17:24,777 --> 00:17:26,546
Um...
323
00:17:26,646 --> 00:17:29,382
let's say
that I do decide to stay
324
00:17:29,482 --> 00:17:31,517
and Victor, for whatever reason,
325
00:17:31,617 --> 00:17:34,020
decides that he's not gonna
throw me in jail, or worse,
326
00:17:34,120 --> 00:17:36,022
for quitting.
327
00:17:36,122 --> 00:17:38,558
How do I build a future here?
328
00:17:38,658 --> 00:17:41,360
Tell me that, honestly.
329
00:17:41,460 --> 00:17:44,530
What kind of life
do you think I can lead here?
330
00:17:47,333 --> 00:17:49,268
MARTIN: I can't say
I'm surprised to see
331
00:17:49,368 --> 00:17:51,571
he tried to play God
with Diane.
332
00:17:51,671 --> 00:17:53,606
After five minutes
of meeting the man,
333
00:17:53,706 --> 00:17:57,944
it was clear he was a sociopath
with narcissistic tendencies.
334
00:17:59,412 --> 00:18:00,813
I know what you're thinking.
335
00:18:00,913 --> 00:18:03,749
Takes one to know one, right?
336
00:18:03,849 --> 00:18:05,518
At least I own what I am.
337
00:18:05,618 --> 00:18:10,156
But, enough about me.
You wanna know about Larry.
338
00:18:10,256 --> 00:18:11,791
Yes, please.
339
00:18:11,891 --> 00:18:15,161
Well, I've read
all of his work--
340
00:18:15,261 --> 00:18:17,096
and I mean all of it.
341
00:18:17,196 --> 00:18:19,999
It is...[huffs] pure drivel.
342
00:18:20,099 --> 00:18:22,969
The circular ramblings
of a lunatic on lunacy.
343
00:18:23,069 --> 00:18:27,473
He's as empty-headed and vain
as Alan was. Ha.
344
00:18:27,573 --> 00:18:31,177
Were your brother
and Dr. Markham close?
345
00:18:31,277 --> 00:18:33,346
Well, they saw each other
on occasion, you know,
346
00:18:33,446 --> 00:18:35,414
exchanged emails,
saw each other at conferences--
347
00:18:35,514 --> 00:18:37,917
-that sort of thing.
-Is there anything more specific
348
00:18:38,017 --> 00:18:40,119
that you can remember?
349
00:18:40,219 --> 00:18:43,222
Well, now that I recall,
350
00:18:43,322 --> 00:18:46,759
there was a place that, uh,
Alan used to stay with Larry,
351
00:18:46,859 --> 00:18:49,629
a summer house he rented.
352
00:18:49,729 --> 00:18:53,165
Um, do you happen to remember
where that house is?
353
00:18:53,265 --> 00:18:56,302
I'll tell you...
354
00:18:56,402 --> 00:18:58,704
if you grant me a small favor.
355
00:18:58,804 --> 00:19:02,208
Ha. No, you're the one
who wants to make amends.
356
00:19:02,308 --> 00:19:05,378
That makes me the person
that gets to ask the favors,
357
00:19:05,478 --> 00:19:06,712
not grant them.
358
00:19:06,812 --> 00:19:10,182
Well, I'm happy to see
that when I broke your heart,
359
00:19:10,282 --> 00:19:13,586
I didn't break
your spirit, Traci.
360
00:19:13,686 --> 00:19:15,788
And, yes,
under normal circumstances,
361
00:19:15,888 --> 00:19:18,357
I would never presume
to ask something of someone
362
00:19:18,457 --> 00:19:19,925
I'd wounded so deeply.
363
00:19:20,026 --> 00:19:22,628
But I'm afraid you have me
at a severe disadvantage, Traci,
364
00:19:22,728 --> 00:19:27,433
and I must ask you
for this very small favor.
365
00:19:28,334 --> 00:19:31,470
What is it you want?
366
00:19:39,445 --> 00:19:42,515
I want you to come see me.
367
00:19:42,615 --> 00:19:45,618
-To come see you?
-There are things
368
00:19:45,718 --> 00:19:48,487
left unsaid between us,
things I need to tell you.
369
00:19:48,587 --> 00:19:50,623
Martin, I have your letters.
370
00:19:50,723 --> 00:19:53,759
And you can say anything
you want to right now.
371
00:19:53,859 --> 00:19:56,896
The things I wanna say
I can't put in writing, and I--
372
00:19:56,996 --> 00:20:01,400
not over a video chat
that's being listened to.
373
00:20:01,500 --> 00:20:04,470
You are sounding
just a little paranoid.
374
00:20:04,570 --> 00:20:06,372
Traci...
375
00:20:06,472 --> 00:20:09,709
we both know I'm more than
a little paranoid.
376
00:20:09,809 --> 00:20:13,212
But that doesn't mean my doctor
isn't recording this call.
377
00:20:13,312 --> 00:20:14,780
Why would she do that?
378
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:16,782
To parse my every word.
379
00:20:16,882 --> 00:20:19,151
To dissect my body language.
380
00:20:19,251 --> 00:20:21,420
Yeah, and not to help me--
not that I need it--
381
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:25,291
but, uh, to use me as fodder
for some insipid paper
382
00:20:25,391 --> 00:20:28,327
she'll read at a third-tier
conference at a subpar school
383
00:20:28,427 --> 00:20:30,796
in some backwater town.
384
00:20:30,896 --> 00:20:33,699
-Wow. That seems a little harsh.
-It's the truth.
385
00:20:33,799 --> 00:20:37,837
And I refuse to be treated like
some lab rat in an experiment.
386
00:20:37,937 --> 00:20:39,672
It's dehumanizing.
387
00:20:39,772 --> 00:20:41,674
Maybe
that's another reason why
388
00:20:41,774 --> 00:20:43,843
I need to see you again,
Traci,
389
00:20:43,943 --> 00:20:46,879
to look into the eyes
of the woman I love
390
00:20:46,979 --> 00:20:48,247
and the woman who loved me
391
00:20:48,347 --> 00:20:50,382
and tell her
what's in my heart.
392
00:20:50,483 --> 00:20:53,486
To ask her to forgive me
for all my shortcomings,
393
00:20:53,586 --> 00:20:56,622
to beg for forgiveness
yet again.
394
00:20:57,523 --> 00:21:01,093
Okay. If I were to come
to see you...
395
00:21:01,193 --> 00:21:03,629
you would give me all the
information that I need, right?
396
00:21:03,729 --> 00:21:06,465
I'm confident I know enough
about Markham
397
00:21:06,565 --> 00:21:08,734
to give you everything
you need to know
398
00:21:08,834 --> 00:21:11,570
to keep your family safe.
399
00:21:11,670 --> 00:21:13,739
All you have to do
is say yes.
400
00:21:15,708 --> 00:21:18,177
All right.
I will arrange a meeting.
401
00:21:18,277 --> 00:21:21,046
[exhales] Thank you, Traci.
402
00:21:21,147 --> 00:21:23,616
I can't tell you
how much this means to me.
403
00:21:23,716 --> 00:21:25,384
I really look forward to--
404
00:21:26,285 --> 00:21:28,487
[exhaling] Oh.
405
00:21:28,587 --> 00:21:30,556
You all right?
406
00:21:32,491 --> 00:21:34,260
I--[laughs] That was--
407
00:21:34,360 --> 00:21:37,429
that was a lot harder
than I thought it was gonna be.
408
00:21:37,530 --> 00:21:40,099
[small laugh]
409
00:21:40,199 --> 00:21:41,467
Okay.
410
00:21:46,405 --> 00:21:49,175
There are so many things
here in Genoa City.
411
00:21:49,275 --> 00:21:51,477
-We have so many things.
-Mm-hmm.
412
00:21:51,577 --> 00:21:53,946
Um...parks.
413
00:21:54,046 --> 00:21:56,649
-Lakes.
-Lakes! We have lakes.
414
00:21:56,749 --> 00:21:59,351
-So many lakes.
-And--and night life.
415
00:21:59,451 --> 00:22:01,554
-Right. The Shadow Room.
-The Sh--
416
00:22:01,654 --> 00:22:05,524
Right. We have friendly people.
417
00:22:05,624 --> 00:22:07,993
Um...I grew up here. [laughs]
418
00:22:08,093 --> 00:22:10,930
How many friends do you have?
419
00:22:11,030 --> 00:22:13,199
-Um...
-[laughing]
420
00:22:13,299 --> 00:22:16,268
Yeah, I--it's okay.
You know what?
421
00:22:16,368 --> 00:22:18,671
That doesn't matter. I'm just...
422
00:22:18,771 --> 00:22:22,374
I'm just giving you
some ideas and...
423
00:22:22,474 --> 00:22:25,377
there's a lot of opportunity
for you to make a fresh start.
424
00:22:25,477 --> 00:22:28,214
Great. Let's think this through.
For a fresh start, I would need
425
00:22:28,314 --> 00:22:30,182
a place to live, which would
mean I would need money,
426
00:22:30,282 --> 00:22:31,851
which means I need a job,
427
00:22:31,951 --> 00:22:34,053
which means I need somebody
that would actually hire me.
428
00:22:34,153 --> 00:22:35,955
-What are you doing?
-Yeah, on it. On it. On it.
429
00:22:36,055 --> 00:22:37,122
-What are you on?
-Yeah.
430
00:22:37,223 --> 00:22:39,558
-I am on it.
-What's going on here?
431
00:22:39,658 --> 00:22:42,661
So tell me about your goals,
your purposes,
432
00:22:42,761 --> 00:22:44,763
what inspires you,
what motivates you...
433
00:22:44,864 --> 00:22:46,966
-We're--we're vision boarding?
-Yeah!
434
00:22:47,066 --> 00:22:48,868
-Okay.
-I'm just...
435
00:22:48,968 --> 00:22:51,237
we're just streamlining this,
all right?
436
00:22:51,337 --> 00:22:55,474
So what...
what are you good at, Matt?
437
00:22:55,574 --> 00:22:59,178
Terrorizing people.
And--and almost--no.
438
00:22:59,278 --> 00:23:02,348
Scratch that. Not almost.
All of the illegal things.
439
00:23:02,448 --> 00:23:04,149
So I got that going for me.
440
00:23:04,250 --> 00:23:06,385
You do, you do.
I mean, many businesses
441
00:23:06,485 --> 00:23:08,621
would find that to be an asset,
sadly.
442
00:23:08,721 --> 00:23:11,023
Not going back to that life
443
00:23:11,123 --> 00:23:13,058
-in any way, shape, or form.
-No, of course not.
444
00:23:13,158 --> 00:23:15,027
Of course not. Of course not.
445
00:23:15,127 --> 00:23:19,298
We're just trying to...
to work this out.
446
00:23:19,398 --> 00:23:22,434
So, um, do you have references?
447
00:23:22,534 --> 00:23:25,137
I'm not sure this is the best
use of our time together.
448
00:23:25,237 --> 00:23:27,339
No, it is, you know?
449
00:23:27,439 --> 00:23:30,175
We're just gonna identify
the problem, that's all.
450
00:23:30,276 --> 00:23:31,777
-I'm the problem.
-No, you're not the problem.
451
00:23:31,877 --> 00:23:34,213
Your past was problematic,
452
00:23:34,313 --> 00:23:36,181
but you are not your past.
453
00:23:36,282 --> 00:23:38,384
We're gonna do this.
It's not gonna be easy,
454
00:23:38,484 --> 00:23:41,387
-but we're going to do this.
-Why are you doing this?
455
00:23:43,389 --> 00:23:45,324
Because I've...
456
00:23:45,424 --> 00:23:47,793
been where you are.
457
00:23:47,893 --> 00:23:50,296
And I understand what it's like
458
00:23:50,396 --> 00:23:52,364
to have people hate me.
459
00:23:52,464 --> 00:23:54,833
I understand that, so...
460
00:23:54,934 --> 00:23:56,902
any--I, um...
461
00:23:57,002 --> 00:24:00,873
I want you to know that there's
light at the end of the tunnel.
462
00:24:00,973 --> 00:24:02,708
You'd be my light?
463
00:24:02,808 --> 00:24:05,477
Yeah, kind of,
I'd be your light.
464
00:24:07,413 --> 00:24:09,448
See? I made it out.
465
00:24:09,548 --> 00:24:11,450
I didn't just make it out,
you know.
466
00:24:11,550 --> 00:24:13,419
I'm thriving.
467
00:24:15,921 --> 00:24:18,057
So you can too.
468
00:24:18,157 --> 00:24:20,626
You have this way of...
469
00:24:21,994 --> 00:24:24,163
-Just--
-Getting what I want. I know.
470
00:24:24,263 --> 00:24:26,498
Yeah, I'm sure you do.
471
00:24:28,133 --> 00:24:29,802
But also, Phyllis,
when you say things,
472
00:24:29,902 --> 00:24:32,171
I just feel the nicest things.
473
00:24:33,906 --> 00:24:37,009
Y-you make things seem possible.
474
00:24:38,277 --> 00:24:40,145
They are possible.
475
00:24:40,245 --> 00:24:42,414
They are.
476
00:24:43,082 --> 00:24:44,516
[inhaling]
477
00:24:44,616 --> 00:24:46,251
-Ahh...
-Oh, no.
478
00:24:46,352 --> 00:24:47,553
-I've got it.
-No.
479
00:24:47,653 --> 00:24:49,188
Oh, I'm not gonna like this.
480
00:24:49,288 --> 00:24:52,057
No, you will. You'll like it.
You know...
481
00:24:52,157 --> 00:24:53,726
Victor gave me a company.
482
00:24:53,826 --> 00:24:55,594
-Victor gave you a company?
-He did. Well, I mean,
483
00:24:55,694 --> 00:24:58,397
he gave me a shell of a company.
484
00:24:58,497 --> 00:25:02,034
But he gave it to me
probably as a joke...
485
00:25:02,134 --> 00:25:05,771
but I'm not gonna be
the punchline of his joke.
486
00:25:05,871 --> 00:25:09,608
I'm gonna prove that I can
turn it into something great.
487
00:25:10,876 --> 00:25:14,346
So me and my partner Lauren...
488
00:25:14,446 --> 00:25:17,049
I mean, we'll need help
with this.
489
00:25:17,149 --> 00:25:19,284
That's where you come in.
490
00:25:22,021 --> 00:25:24,289
As requested.
491
00:25:29,128 --> 00:25:30,662
I'm right here, sweetheart.
492
00:25:30,763 --> 00:25:32,297
Are you all right?
493
00:25:32,398 --> 00:25:35,901
I am now.
Thank you for coming in.
494
00:25:36,001 --> 00:25:39,505
I-I didn't wanna be alone
for...
495
00:25:39,605 --> 00:25:42,007
whatever the outcome is.
496
00:25:47,546 --> 00:25:49,648
I'm right here.
497
00:25:49,748 --> 00:25:51,850
Are we ready?
498
00:25:51,950 --> 00:25:54,286
Yes.
499
00:26:27,719 --> 00:26:29,955
Okay, Nikki. It's time.
500
00:26:30,055 --> 00:26:31,957
Open your eyes.
501
00:26:43,569 --> 00:26:45,704
-No...
-What do you see?
502
00:26:45,804 --> 00:26:48,040
No.
503
00:26:48,140 --> 00:26:51,343
It's all black. There's nothing!
504
00:26:51,443 --> 00:26:53,612
[crying]
505
00:27:06,925 --> 00:27:09,128
VICTORIA: You know, Dr. Nowling
came out to talk to us
506
00:27:09,228 --> 00:27:11,497
after the bandages were removed,
and he made it very clear
507
00:27:11,597 --> 00:27:13,499
that there's still
a very good chance
508
00:27:13,599 --> 00:27:15,300
that you're gonna
get your vision back
509
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:17,102
in the weeks to come, Mom.
510
00:27:17,202 --> 00:27:19,972
Guy's an expert. He knows
what he's talking about.
511
00:27:21,073 --> 00:27:25,410
He also said that my vision
may never return.
512
00:27:25,511 --> 00:27:28,881
Well, sweetheart, we are not
gonna think that way, okay?
513
00:27:28,981 --> 00:27:32,050
This is temporary, and that's
how we're gonna deal with it.
514
00:27:32,151 --> 00:27:34,887
I know how much it means...
515
00:27:34,987 --> 00:27:38,290
to you all that I get
my sight back.
516
00:27:38,390 --> 00:27:41,894
And obviously, I am
praying for that as well.
517
00:27:41,994 --> 00:27:46,999
So I am holding on to
the possibility that...
518
00:27:47,099 --> 00:27:49,434
someday soon...
519
00:27:49,535 --> 00:27:53,038
I'll be able to see
your beautiful faces again.
520
00:27:59,578 --> 00:28:02,514
I was worried how you would
react to seeing Martin,
521
00:28:02,614 --> 00:28:04,449
even if it was over
a video call.
522
00:28:04,550 --> 00:28:07,186
I can't believe it.
He completely got to me.
523
00:28:07,286 --> 00:28:09,388
I have to be honest.
I thought I was stronger!
524
00:28:09,488 --> 00:28:12,624
Traci, it doesn't mean
you're weak or powerless.
525
00:28:12,724 --> 00:28:15,060
Men like Martin
and Laurence Markham,
526
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:17,229
they live to manipulate people,
527
00:28:17,329 --> 00:28:19,331
to take advantage
of our vulnerabilities.
528
00:28:19,431 --> 00:28:23,702
These guys just find a soft spot
and go in for the kill.
529
00:28:23,802 --> 00:28:25,837
Well, I think I may have
too many soft spots.
530
00:28:25,938 --> 00:28:28,307
No, no. You couldn't have
been stronger, Aunt Traci.
531
00:28:28,407 --> 00:28:31,376
You were focused, calm,
in total control.
532
00:28:31,476 --> 00:28:34,313
Martin tried to shake you,
but you gave him nothing.
533
00:28:34,413 --> 00:28:37,216
I gave him
a face-to-face meeting.
534
00:28:37,316 --> 00:28:39,785
JACK: Yeah, I don't like that.
535
00:28:39,885 --> 00:28:43,255
And none of us would blame you
if you want to back out now.
536
00:28:43,355 --> 00:28:45,257
In fact, I recommend it.
537
00:28:45,357 --> 00:28:47,659
We just saw how Martin
was able to affect you
538
00:28:47,759 --> 00:28:49,461
over a computer screen.
539
00:28:49,561 --> 00:28:52,931
Why are we even talking about
you facing him in the flesh?
540
00:28:53,031 --> 00:28:57,302
Jack, I am not afraid
of seeing him in person.
541
00:28:57,402 --> 00:29:00,272
It doesn't mean you have to
go through with it.
542
00:29:00,372 --> 00:29:04,243
We will be in a supervised
psychiatric ward in a prison.
543
00:29:04,343 --> 00:29:06,278
I'll be perfectly safe.
544
00:29:06,378 --> 00:29:08,880
Traci, what worries me
is Martin's ability
545
00:29:08,981 --> 00:29:11,883
to get inside people's heads,
to get under their skin.
546
00:29:11,984 --> 00:29:14,486
He fooled me once.
547
00:29:14,586 --> 00:29:18,991
Martin Laurent will never, ever
have power over me again!
548
00:29:20,025 --> 00:29:23,262
Me? You wanna hire me? You want
me to come work for you?
549
00:29:23,362 --> 00:29:24,696
-Yeah.
-Oh, come on.
550
00:29:24,796 --> 00:29:26,164
It's genius. It's genius.
551
00:29:26,265 --> 00:29:27,666
I should have
thought of this sooner.
552
00:29:27,766 --> 00:29:33,705
You're--you're so smart,
and you're motivated and, oh...
553
00:29:33,805 --> 00:29:36,174
you'll be a perfect match
for Arabesque.
554
00:29:36,275 --> 00:29:38,176
-You'll--
-The company's named Arabesque?
555
00:29:38,277 --> 00:29:40,779
-Well, yeah, I mean--
-You make ballet slippers?
556
00:29:40,879 --> 00:29:42,814
[laughs] No. No.
557
00:29:42,914 --> 00:29:44,916
-No?
-We can change the name.
558
00:29:45,017 --> 00:29:48,086
Look at you! You're already
bringing ideas to the table.
559
00:29:48,186 --> 00:29:51,356
This is incredible. You know,
I love this. Let's celebrate.
560
00:29:51,456 --> 00:29:53,191
-Mimosas for everyone!
-I think we're getting
561
00:29:53,292 --> 00:29:55,394
-ahead of ourselves.
-Mimosas for everyone.
562
00:29:55,494 --> 00:29:57,429
Can we have service, please?
563
00:29:57,529 --> 00:30:00,332
The only businesses
that I'm qualified to run
564
00:30:00,432 --> 00:30:03,035
are--are nightclubs and bars
565
00:30:03,135 --> 00:30:04,970
and drug rings.
566
00:30:05,070 --> 00:30:08,807
That doesn't make me
a candidate for anybody.
567
00:30:08,907 --> 00:30:12,044
But it does. Don't you see that?
568
00:30:12,144 --> 00:30:15,947
You know how to deal with
569
00:30:16,048 --> 00:30:18,750
people--sober, not sober,
570
00:30:18,850 --> 00:30:21,186
um, shady, not shady.
571
00:30:21,286 --> 00:30:24,289
Matt, you're a people person.
572
00:30:24,389 --> 00:30:26,224
Yeah, I think
there's a long list of people
573
00:30:26,325 --> 00:30:27,759
who would disagree with that.
574
00:30:27,859 --> 00:30:30,729
Oh, who cares about them?
Who cares?
575
00:30:30,829 --> 00:30:37,202
Your skill set, I mean,
what you bring to the table--
576
00:30:37,302 --> 00:30:41,306
you can repurpose that skill set
into the corporate culture,
577
00:30:41,406 --> 00:30:43,809
and then you will just
578
00:30:43,909 --> 00:30:45,544
shine.
579
00:30:45,644 --> 00:30:49,715
And together,
we will be unstoppable.
580
00:30:53,985 --> 00:30:56,955
Why are you looking at me
like that?
581
00:30:57,055 --> 00:30:59,358
You are so into me.
582
00:30:59,458 --> 00:31:03,328
You are totally
falling for me.
583
00:31:11,603 --> 00:31:13,839
You have an ego. Wow.
584
00:31:13,939 --> 00:31:16,375
You know, I'm simply
trying to help you.
585
00:31:16,475 --> 00:31:19,978
I see your value, and I'm just
trying to help you as a friend.
586
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:24,015
You want me to come work
for you
587
00:31:24,116 --> 00:31:26,151
because of my excellent kissing.
588
00:31:26,251 --> 00:31:27,853
Ha.
589
00:31:27,953 --> 00:31:29,121
No.
590
00:31:30,489 --> 00:31:32,858
Um, no. I-I have good instincts.
591
00:31:32,958 --> 00:31:34,693
-I always trust them.
-Oh, your in--
592
00:31:34,793 --> 00:31:36,661
Phyllis, look--
593
00:31:36,762 --> 00:31:38,964
you haven't vetted me.
I don't have any references.
594
00:31:39,064 --> 00:31:41,199
Nobody in their right mind would
ever hire me to do anything.
595
00:31:41,299 --> 00:31:42,567
Why would you hire me?
596
00:31:42,667 --> 00:31:44,236
Well, those people don't matter.
597
00:31:44,336 --> 00:31:46,505
I'm hiring you
because I believe in you.
598
00:31:46,605 --> 00:31:48,907
You know what? You should be
thanking me right now.
599
00:31:49,007 --> 00:31:51,376
You're right.
I'm sorry, Phyllis. Thank you.
600
00:31:51,476 --> 00:31:53,712
It's very sweet of you.
It feels a little like pity.
601
00:31:53,812 --> 00:31:55,847
It's not pity. It's not pity.
602
00:31:55,947 --> 00:31:58,850
And you do have a skill set.
It's gonna take you a bit
603
00:31:58,950 --> 00:32:01,686
to just adapt that skill set.
604
00:32:01,787 --> 00:32:04,389
That's all. You know,
it's win-win for both of us.
605
00:32:04,489 --> 00:32:08,293
Listen, Matt,
you're gonna have to adjust
606
00:32:08,393 --> 00:32:10,629
into the corporate world,
but I believe that you can.
607
00:32:10,729 --> 00:32:14,065
[softly] I mean, you're a guy
who thinks outside the box.
608
00:32:14,166 --> 00:32:15,801
I know you do.
609
00:32:15,901 --> 00:32:19,304
And you can solve problems...
610
00:32:19,404 --> 00:32:21,840
that come up.
611
00:32:21,940 --> 00:32:26,278
And...I find that to be
very beneficial.
612
00:32:27,879 --> 00:32:31,249
Victor wants me to be his fixer.
613
00:32:31,349 --> 00:32:34,419
That's what you want me to do.
614
00:32:35,587 --> 00:32:39,324
Would you rather work for
Victor...or work for me?
615
00:32:45,497 --> 00:32:48,033
Well, we had an early start
this morning. Um...
616
00:32:48,133 --> 00:32:50,969
is anyone hungry?
I can go grab some pastries.
617
00:32:51,069 --> 00:32:54,005
-Coffee.
-Yeah. Sounds like a plan.
618
00:32:54,105 --> 00:32:55,740
Grandma, what can I get you?
619
00:32:55,841 --> 00:32:59,711
Oh, nothing for me, darling.
Thank you. I...
620
00:32:59,811 --> 00:33:03,014
I think the excitement
of preparing for my appointment
621
00:33:03,114 --> 00:33:05,417
wore me out. I...
622
00:33:05,517 --> 00:33:07,586
I think I'm just gonna
go lie down.
623
00:33:07,686 --> 00:33:09,521
-Can I get you a cup of tea?
-No.
624
00:33:09,621 --> 00:33:11,590
No, I-I'm fine.
625
00:33:13,024 --> 00:33:15,026
I love all of you
for supporting me
626
00:33:15,126 --> 00:33:17,395
during this--
627
00:33:17,496 --> 00:33:20,265
your energy, your love.
628
00:33:20,365 --> 00:33:22,801
It means so much to me.
629
00:33:22,901 --> 00:33:24,503
VICTORIA: It will happen.
630
00:33:24,603 --> 00:33:26,838
You know?
You will get your eyesight back.
631
00:33:26,938 --> 00:33:28,707
We'll just have to wait and see
632
00:33:28,807 --> 00:33:31,643
what the next days
and weeks bring.
633
00:33:34,779 --> 00:33:37,382
-Let me help you, sweetheart.
-No, Victor, please.
634
00:33:37,482 --> 00:33:39,851
I-I need to do this on my own.
635
00:33:40,919 --> 00:33:42,354
You sure?
636
00:33:42,454 --> 00:33:44,656
Yeah, I-I'm fine.
637
00:33:46,057 --> 00:33:50,395
One, two,
638
00:33:50,495 --> 00:33:53,865
three, four,
639
00:33:53,965 --> 00:33:57,636
five, six,
640
00:33:57,736 --> 00:34:01,573
seven, eight,
641
00:34:01,673 --> 00:34:05,076
nine, ten,
642
00:34:05,176 --> 00:34:07,779
eleven, twelve.
643
00:34:09,581 --> 00:34:13,285
Well, I guess I should start
arranging the meeting.
644
00:34:13,385 --> 00:34:16,021
Traci, wait. Maybe you don't
need to go see Martin at all.
645
00:34:16,121 --> 00:34:18,123
It shouldn't be too hard for us
to find out
646
00:34:18,223 --> 00:34:19,591
where Markham
had a summer home.
647
00:34:19,691 --> 00:34:21,526
Except he rented it,
and he could have done that
648
00:34:21,626 --> 00:34:23,929
under any number of names,
through a corporation,
649
00:34:24,029 --> 00:34:26,698
-a clinic, even an alias.
-JACK: Yeah, it's a good point,
650
00:34:26,798 --> 00:34:29,334
and we can't know
how he used the place.
651
00:34:29,434 --> 00:34:31,303
Look, for all we know,
652
00:34:31,403 --> 00:34:33,405
this guy was this dangerous
and twisted
653
00:34:33,505 --> 00:34:35,340
before he ever met Patty...
654
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:37,509
and I think could very well
have gone as far
655
00:34:37,609 --> 00:34:39,778
as using the place
to hold his other patients.
656
00:34:39,878 --> 00:34:41,846
You know, I don't even wanna
think about that,
657
00:34:41,947 --> 00:34:44,883
but it shouldn't be too hard for
us to track down this property
658
00:34:44,983 --> 00:34:46,818
without Traci subjecting herself
659
00:34:46,918 --> 00:34:49,354
to an in-person meeting
with Martin.
660
00:34:49,454 --> 00:34:51,289
Sis, this is entirely
your decision.
661
00:34:51,389 --> 00:34:53,325
Whatever you are
comfortable with,
662
00:34:53,425 --> 00:34:55,360
we're gonna go with that, but...
663
00:34:55,460 --> 00:34:58,863
if you have even the slightest
doubt about your safety
664
00:34:58,964 --> 00:35:01,399
or your ability
to handle Markham,
665
00:35:01,499 --> 00:35:03,201
this ends now.
666
00:35:03,301 --> 00:35:05,103
I agreed to meet him in person
667
00:35:05,203 --> 00:35:07,906
because I want Martin to see
that I am not afraid of him,
668
00:35:08,006 --> 00:35:09,908
and I am not.
669
00:35:11,710 --> 00:35:13,712
But if I'm honest...
670
00:35:13,812 --> 00:35:16,514
I am in favor of avoiding
671
00:35:16,615 --> 00:35:18,750
ever having to sit across
the table from him
672
00:35:18,850 --> 00:35:21,553
or see that man's face
ever again.
673
00:35:44,209 --> 00:35:45,977
-Aah!
