and somebody that you could

326
00:17:00,657 --> 00:17:03,460
trust with your child?
>> Thomas: Dumb luck,

327
00:17:03,527 --> 00:17:05,562
recessive gene kicking in,
who knows?

328
00:17:05,629 --> 00:17:07,431
>> Brooke: It's really not
fair that you would blame me

329
00:17:07,498 --> 00:17:10,367
for all of your bad behavior.
>> Thomas: I just wonder what

330
00:17:10,434 --> 00:17:13,103
it would have been like
if I had the chance,

331
00:17:13,170 --> 00:17:15,873
the opportunity to grow up
without you as a mother.

332
00:17:15,939 --> 00:17:18,809
>> Brooke: So, because of
my influence, you turned

333
00:17:18,876 --> 00:17:21,645
into the kind of person
that would lie about

334
00:17:21,712 --> 00:17:25,249
a baby being dead
or think that kidnapping

335
00:17:25,315 --> 00:17:29,520
is a courtship.
And I'm not even going

336
00:17:29,586 --> 00:17:33,357
to mention the mannequin.
To think about what you put

337
00:17:33,424 --> 00:17:36,093
my daughter through.
And you really wonder

338
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:39,363
why I'm so worried that
Douglas is here alone with you.

339
00:17:39,430 --> 00:17:41,598
>> Thomas: Worry all
you want, Brooke.

340
00:17:41,665 --> 00:17:44,034
I don't really care what
you think.

341
00:17:44,101 --> 00:17:47,004
And soon my dad won't either.
>> Brooke: No,

342
00:17:47,070 --> 00:17:48,839
that's not true.
>> Thomas: You know,

343
00:17:48,906 --> 00:17:51,809
my mother is a thousand times
the woman that you are.

344
00:17:51,875 --> 00:17:54,578
And her and my father,
they are getting closer

345
00:17:54,645 --> 00:17:57,214
because they're meant to be.
I mean, that kiss in Monaco.

346
00:17:57,281 --> 00:18:01,919
That was meant to happen.
A day is coming

347
00:18:01,985 --> 00:18:05,355
and soon will be,
when your reign and your grip

348
00:18:05,422 --> 00:18:09,993
over my father
and my family ends.

349
00:18:10,060 --> 00:18:15,399
Mark my words, Brooke,
they will end.
