Come on, come on, come on.
[grunts]
- Let me ask you something. - What's that?
How many times have the two of us been in this situation?
Oh, that must've been about ten years ago.
Up and to your left. Up and to your left.
At least we're not out of practice.
That's because we still got it, buddy!
[both grunt]
Nice.
Oh, one--one to go.
Ah, yeah.
I think I broke it.
Going somewhere, boys?
It's two against one, Megan.
- [chuckles] - Gun!
My father did all the hard work years ago.
It's a privilege to put the final touches on what he started.
My wish is now your command.
Apologize for your disobedience.
BOTH: Sorry.
Miss Hathaway.
BOTH: Miss Hathaway.
That's more like it.
Now, let's get to work.
MAN: Like sands through the hourglass...
WOMAN: So are the days of our lives.
WOMAN: Whoo!
MAN: Wow!
- Fantastic turnout. - Oh, yeah!
Where's the prism?
I thought there was gonna be a case or something.
We'll be unveiling it at the end of the evening.
Oh, okay. Why don't we go find Phil Helworth, then?
Sounds like a plan.
Why don't we start at the blackjack tables?
I don't know about you, but I'm feeling lucky.
[cheering]
[indistinct chatter]
Did I mention that you two clean up pretty well?
You don't do a bad job of that yourself.
I hate dressing up.
Hey, you remember when Tripp first saw you in Seattle
and thought you were a guy?
Hey, you thought the same thing.
I definitely wouldn't make that mistake now.
Okay. Ready to make an entrance?
Oh, I got this covered.
I have two arms, guys.
Oh. Hey, a DJ.
We're not here to dance, Joey.
We're here to find out who kidnapped Dad.
Right.
No.
No, no, no. It can't be, Mom.
Say something.
Hope, sweetheart.
She's losing so much blood.
Someone call 911!
How could this happen?
911. Like that'll work. This is Canada.
I'm getting the ambulance.
Harris.
All you're going to get is the prism on that dress.
CIARA: Mom.
Mom, I can't lose you.
I can't lose you. Please, open your eyes.
[sobs, whispers] Say something.
Please, open your eyes.
BEN: Let me see something.
[Ciara whimpers]
She doesn't have a pulse, Ciara.
- She's lost so much blood. - No. No.
- Baby, she's gone. I'm sorry. - No.
I'm sorry.
Sorry.
Come on.
Baby, come on.
Beau?
Fancy Face.
Ready to pass yourself off as somebody named Harris Michaels?
It's the only way we're gonna get into that party.
Are you sure you wanna do this?
My dad's kidnapper could be in there.
So yeah. I'm sure.
You actually think this game is fun?
You should never double down when the dealer's showing a 10.
Whatever the hell that means.
How much money did DiMera shell out for this shindig?
A lot. But don't worry. The PR is more than worth it.
People will be rushing to invest when they hear what these prisms can do.
Yeah, but we only have one prism.
So even if we find Helworth, we still have to find the third.
And we will have it. I promise.
I'll track it down for you.
Okay. But... I'll settle for a diamond, though.
Maybe you'll have that too.
Someday.
[elevator dings]
Weapons check.
Well, let's get to work.
Fold.
I'll see you $1,000, and raise you $1,000.
- Call. - Big spender over here.
Hey, it's not my money.
Damn. That Harris Michaels guy isn't here yet.
If he's even coming at all.
If he's after the prisms, he's coming.
Just keep your eyes open.
What have you got?
Read them and weep.
Well, a flush beats four of a kind.
Oh. Wow.
[Tripp chuckles]
First time at the poker table?
No. I'm just, uh... a little distracted.
Off my game.
I got... I have a bad feeling about this whole night.
Beau, is it really you?
Am I dreaming?
No. It's me.
What...? I don't understand. How...?
How can I be looking at you?
You died.
In your arms.
[sighs]
Am I...?
Did I die? Did I die?
And I'm...
We're in Heaven?
[sighs] Oh, my God, Brady.
I've missed you so much. I--
What's wrong?
Can't you think...? What do you think is wrong?
You went and got yourself killed.
No.
Mom, you can't leave me, okay? You can't leave me.
- e ambulance is-- - Don't leave me.
Oh, God, no.
You did this to her.
- You don't know what you're talking about. - Like hell I don't.
The shot came from up there. I was standing right here.
Okay, maybe you didn't pull the trigger, but you're behind everything.
Look, I know how close you were with your mother,
- but I can assure-- - Close? We were close. Of course we were close.
We were so close that she told me she was on to you
this entire time, and the only reason that she married you
was so she could get enough evidence on you
to put you away forever.
She's in shock. She doesn't know what she's saying.
Ben, it doesn't matter if he knows the truth right now.
It doesn't.
You never loved her.
The only thing you ever wanted from her...
was this.
But guess what.
You screwed up.
Did you think I would just give up?
If you wanna be around to give your mother
a decent burial...
you give me that prism.
Now!
Hey.
I thought you were done with blackjack.
No, I'm gonna try again. Look, I'm 19 now.
- So you stay. - No, I wanna get 21.
Gabi, you never hit on 19.
Hit me.
Whoo! Yes! See? 21.
There we go.
Jin Wen!
I almost didn't recognize you.
I don't think I've seen you in a dress
since your 7th birthday.
I didn't want to get turned away at the door.
I assume that these two gentlemen
are your dates for this evening.
Right. I'd like you to meet my brother Li. Li, this--
I just got three blackjacks in a row.
Wait. Joey and Tripp, what...?
What are you two doing here?
You know these guys?
Y-yes, of c-- Sure I do.
What--what are you up to?
Looking for our dad.
Uh, he's definitely not gonna be on this guestlist.
- He's been kidnapped. - What?
Yeah, and same guy that grabbed him
is after those prism things.
We think he is likely to show up here tonight.
Okay, yeah. We--we'll definitely be on the lookout.
Yeah, well, watch yourselves. This guy doesn't play around.
He attacked my family with a flash grenade, put Stephanie in the hospital.
I assure you that we have the highest level of security.
Don't worry. No uninvited guests are getting into this party.
No. I know, but if someone sa-- [gasps]
John.
Steve!
Oh, thank God we found you!
- Oh. - Right.
How've you been?
Oh.
Ciara, just give him the damn thing.
My mother died for this, Ben.
I'm not gonna give it to the guy who got her killed.
If I could just say a word--
[groans]
He's dead.
- Why would you do that? - To get it through
your thick head that I mean business right now.
No.
So you can either give me the prism,
or I can take the prism from your cold, dead hand.
Hope, you were supposed to expose that homicidal bastard
for what he is, not marry him.
But not, you go and push it too far, consequences be damned.
No, no, no. I didn't really love Harris, Beau.
That is not the issue here.
This is not about me being jealous.
This is about you losing your life over a hunk of glass.
Oh. Could we just back it up a second here?
Have you completely forgotten that you and I,
both nearly got ourselves killed trying to get our hands
on those three hunks of glass?
Oh, my God. That was a very long time ago,
when you and I were young and dumb,
and didn't have kids of our own.
You put Ciara's life on the line today.
I didn't want her there.
Do you think I wanted her there?
I told her to leave, but she wouldn't leave because--
Because she's like you. Stubborn.
Oh, and you're not stubborn as hell?
Not just stubborn, but you always have to prove
you're the strongest, bravest person on the planet.
That was uncalled for--
And not just that. What is it that makes you...
risk your life like this?
And for what? So you have this amazing obituary?
So your friends and family fawn all over you?
Excuse me. Excuse me. You listen to me, Beau Brady!
I am not, nor have I ever been looking to be...
What was it that you said? Because I wanna get this right.
"Fawned over?" Thank you so much.
I risked my life for a damn good reason,
which had nothing to do with my ego.
I did it for a noble cause.
[fake coughs]
[clears throat]
So this is the great love of the ages
you've been telling me about? [giggles]
Nice!
Who are you?
This is Angela. Sh--she's my...
guardian angel.
Ish.
Anyway, she helped me convince the highers up
to let me come back to Earth
and help get you out of this mess.
And I was just about to do that, walk out the door,
when you ended up here,
so forgive me for being a little upset.
Brady, I'm sorry.
I get it, I understand now. I'm sorry.
- No worries. - No, I am. I...
How could I have known?
Listen, what's done is done.
Okay? You didn't get to save her, so she ended up here,
but look on the bright side.
The two of you are together again.
So... tell me, tell me, tell me!
Oh... How is this reunion in paradise working out for you?
[giggles]
Not so well.
How about a do-over?
ANGELA: Ooh. [giggles]
Let's take it from the top.
Yeah.
Oh. I'll give you two kids some alone time.
- Thank you. - Aw.
Thank you.
Ooh.
Here we are.
Together again.
[sighs] I sure wish it didn't happen like this.
- You were right. - Mm?
- Mm. For once. - [laughs]
I took too big of a risk.
I lost my way after I lost you.
You did the best you could,
under some pretty difficult circumstances.
How do you know?
Angela lets me watch you every now and then.
Oh. Well, then I guess you've seen me make a...
- lot of stupid mistakes. - No. Hey.
I've seen the love of my life...
be tough and strong,
and be an awesome mom.
She lets me keep an eye on Shawn and Ciara too.
And little baby Beau.
- You've seen him? - Yeah.
Our grandson.
Ciara said that she and Ben saw you in the hospital,
right after little Beau was born.
Yeah.
Damn, I wish I could've hugged that little guy.
He's so cute. And Ciara...
She's this... beautiful young lady,
like her mom.
And you...
But you weren't there.
One of my biggest regrets.
- I should've been there. - Oh.
I've been insane without you.
With memories of you...
everywhere I look, it's just been painful without you.
I've missed you. I've missed you.
I've missed you so much.
Sometimes work was the only place I truly felt like myself.
Yeah. I understand that.
We were so young when we fell in love, weren't we?
- Yeah. - Uh-huh.
It was like we... became a part of each other.
And when we were fighting, even.
[chuckles]
And even when we were broken up.
Oh, Brady.
I lost my way. I lost who I am.
Mm. Well, let me help you out, then.
Do you still ice skate?
- Yes. - Yeah?
Ah. And something tells me you already know that.
Yes.
I've had fun coaching the young kids.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
I remember like yesterday you skating just for me.
Yeah.
You looked like an angel gliding across the ice.
And how about that daredevil young lady
who jumped on the back of that motorcycle with me?
- Yeah. - When I broke up your wedding.
- That idiot Welch. - Yeah.
You were my hero.
You're still my hero.
And you my passionate, loving wife.
Strong, devoted mother.
You're always the love of my life.
And you will be mine.
You and our children.
[sighs]
I've been pretty blessed, haven't I?
Wait, Zack.
Is he here? I wanna see him.
- Can I talk to him? - Yeah, I can...
I prayed every day that the two of you were together.
- Can I see him? - Yeah, yeah, we're together.
We're together. We always will be.
You don't have to worry about that.
What I'm worried about
is our children and grandchildren.
What are they gonna do without you?
I--
I wish there was some way that I can tell them...
that I'm here with you.
What if there is a way that you could be back with them again?
What do you mean?
As much as I want you here...
and have loved...
looking in those beautiful eyes...
Fancy Face, you need to go back.
No.
Now I'm starting to run out of patience.
[sighs] Do you wanna see your kid again?
Ciara.
This prism isn't worth it.
You just lost your mother.
Do you really want our son to grow up without his mother?
If I give this to him, Ben,
he's just gonna shoot the both of us.
What are you waiting for, Michaels?
Shoot her and take what's mine.
What are you doing here?
Well, we came here to find you.
Paul said you'd both been kidnapped.
No. Tripp and Joey are on their way here to look for you.
They shouldn't have come here. And you shouldn't have either.
Well, what was I supposed to do?
Sit around and wait for you to be rescued?
You should be with Stephanie.
I was, and she's fine.
Thank God for that.
So did--did Tripp and Joey rescue you?
No. We managed to escape.
And you didn't let us know?
It just happened.
We needed to make sure you were safe.
How did you escape without being hurt?
Yeah, I'd like to know that.
[sighs]
Tripp and Joey are upstairs.
Paul's with them.
And when did you meet up with them?
Let's all go upstairs and we'll explain everything.
Great.
The boys will be thrilled to see you. Come on.
- The point is five. - Woo!
[laughter]
Oof.
What, do you do this for a living?
Ah, beginner's luck.
I've never been at a craps table in my life.
I just spotted Gabi DiMera over there.
Do you know her?
I used to. She's with Li from the DiMera Board.
Maybe they know something about this--this Harris guy.
Well...
You want me to go back? How is that possible?
- No. - Okay, come here.
Beau. Please, don't. [sobs]
Angela.
Beau. Beau--
- Did I miss something good? - Shh, shh, shh.
Please.
What if I was to give Hope my second chance?
- Oh. - Shh, shh, shh.
Beauregard. Beauregard, this is not a subway token.
Second chances are very, very rare.
And non-transferable!
Even if it wasn't her time to be here?
Which it wasn't, I know it wasn't.
Read the fine print on the back of the ticket.
It allows you to intervene on very specific situations.
You cannot use that pass to go down there and stay forever.
Well, I couldn't do that if I wanted to.
I've been up here too long.
It's too late for me, but it's not for Hope.
Angela, listen to me, she...
She needs a miracle, and this is it.
Mm... okay.
I think I can make something work.
I mean, with faith all things are possible, right?
Wait, wait! No!
Do I have a say in this?
What if I don't wanna go back?
I hate leaving all the people that I love,
but I'll be here with you.
I'll be here with Zack.
- I'll be with you again, Brady. - You will be with me and Zack.
For eternity.
But not today.
- This is not your day. - Please.
Hope, Ciara, the baby, Ben...
they all need you right now.
I don't think you know how much.
They need you down on Earth.
I wanna give you this second chance.
You gotta take it.
- No. I can't. - Hope.
I wanna see Zack. I wanna see my son. Where is he?
I wanna talk to him, Beau, please.
Hope, Hope...
I'm right here, Mom.
Zack. Oh, my God!
My son, my son.
Oh.
Oh, Zack.
- Oh, we have a problem. - Yeah, what is it?
See those two guys over there with Gabi and Shin?
One of them is my cousin.
If he spots me, everybody in this room is gonna know that I lied my way in here.
Okay. Let's get going.
Andrew?
Too late. [clears throat]
What are you doing here?
Uh, the same thing you are.
- Hey, Paul. - Hey.
How you guys been? It's been a long time.
Yeah.
And so you all know each other.
- Yeah. - Yeah, we do.
Uh, what do you mean you're doing the same thing we are?
I'm here for my dad, and I know Steve was kidnapped too.
John was kidnapped?
I wondered where you went in such a hurry.
Uh... Uh, who are you?
How do you... How do you figure into this?
So Wendy is Shin's little sister.
She's been helping us out, and thanks to her we found out
that our dad and John, I guess, they've both been kidnapped by a guy named Harris Michaels.
Michaels is desperate to get his hands on the three prisms.
Is why we're here tonight.
Yeah, well, the only reason we got in this
because Andrew swiped an invitation.
Security thinks I'm his plus one.
And he is here as Michaels.
Oh, boy.
Yeah. We have to talk to my brother Li. He's throwing this party.
Wait, what I don't get is what is Dad and John have to do with these prisms?
Maybe we can ask your brother that.
You said it's his party, right?
- Why aren't the boys here? - I don't--[gasps]
That's because we lied.
You two really should've stayed in Salem.
Let go of me.
What's wrong with you?
John?
Look at me. Listen to my voice.
I don't take orders from you. I only obey one person.
Megan Hathaway.
Megan Hathaway?
I thought she was dead.
Ciara, look at me.
Your life is worth so much more than this piece of glass.
Our son needs you.
I need you.
I know. It's...
[sighs]
Here.
It's about time.
You're gonna rot in hell,
for what you did to my mother.
My sweet Zack.
In my mind, you stayed five years old.
But look at you.
All grown up.
I still see the beautiful little boy you were before you were taken from us.
I love you, Mom.
The last living thought I remember having was...
"I want my Mom."
[sighs] Honey, I'm here. I'm here, I'm here now.
Oh, Zack.
Dad says you have to go back.
And I agree with him.
No, I can't. I don't wanna leave you.
I don't wanna leave either of you.
He and I will be here waiting for you.
Someday.
And now you know that we will be with you in spirit.
Always.
But our family needs you now.
You're not ready to be here.
I know this.
- Okay. - Okay.
- I'll go back. - All right.
There is one technicality.
Once you walk through that door, you won't remember any of this.
We'll see about that, Angela.
You're right. She's not ready.
Well, if you're so smart, tell me something.
How do I say good-bye... again?
I have one idea.
How about... one last dance?
Okay. What I don't understand is how the two of you got in here.
I know you're not on the guest list.
- Oh. - You're ISA.
Does the name Harris Michaels mean anything to you?
- Never heard of it. - Me neither.
I run Harris' name through every available database.
This is my sister. She's an IT geek.
What did you find out?
Former Navy SEAL, currently based in Montreal.
Currently seeing a woman named Hope Brady.
Hope Brady?
Do you know her?
Yeah, we all do. She's from Salem.
The plot thickens.
Okay, Michaels wants the prisms.
Now, I heard that one of them is gonna be unveiled tonight.
The plan is to unveil it after the dancing and champaign.
That's when the party really get started.
And that's when the second prism may come into play.
Second prism?
A man named Phil Helworth may be here with it tonight.
Mm. Actually, that's not gonna happen.
What do you mean?
Phil Helworth was found dead in a hotel room...
in Monte Carlo.
Oh, well. There goes the second prism.
Win some, lose some.
[sighs]
We don't have time for a long good-bye,
but, fortunately, Heaven is on its own time zone.
May I have this dance?
[Roberta Flack & Peabo Bryson's "Tonight I Celebrate My Love"]
* *
Would you like to dance?
I don't dance.
Oh, come on.
To be more accurate, I can't dance.
Well, lucky for you I can.
Don't say you weren't warned.
Everyone looks like they're having so much fun.
We can join them, you know?
May I cut in?
True love's a gift that God hath given
to man alone beneath the Heaven.
The silver link, the silver tie,
which heart to heart
and mind to mind,
in body and in soul combined.
* *
Heart to Heart.
Mind to mind.
Body and soul.
I will always be with you.
I love you, Beau Brady.
You...
are the one true love of my life.
And I love you, Hope Williams Brady.
Until we meet again.
Good-bye, Mom.
Zack.
[sighs]
I love you.
Get out of here, Fancy Face.
Love you.
Forever.
Go.
Let's get out of here and get our son.
Not so fast.
Ciara!
Hope returned to the real world just in time.
- What do you mean? - Hope.
HARRIS: Go be with your mother.
Is Hope--? What--what happened to Ciara?
Relax, everything's gonna be okay.
Okay, now we're gonna try this again,
and this time we're gonna try for a happier ending.
I know what I'm doing.
I do.
I now pronounce you man and wife.
You may kiss the bride.
What is that?
I can't see Hope get shot again.
Beau, just keep watching.
Do you see it? From over there.
[screams]
Thomas Banks, what did I tell you was gonna happen
if you keep playing with guns?
Sissy.
Don't you sissy me.
Now, you put that gun down.
Do you want to spend eternity burning in hell
'cause you took a human life?
I got a job to do.
The only job you gotta do, mister, is to love, honor
and serve the Lord in this world and then be happy with Him in the next.
[struggle]
[gunshot]
Oh, dear.
I'm shot.
Somebody call for help.
Call for help.
My God.
[sighs] Thank God she's all right.
I'll do that.
You know, Beauregard, I am so impressed with your wife.
She's one tough cookie.
- That she is. - Uh-huh.
All I know is that I did the right thing.
I just wish that...
You probably miss them already, don't you?
Yeah. But...
I'll see them again one day. I'll just...
hold on to that.
[grunts] Who--who shot me?
I don't know. It came from up there.
No, you're not going anywhere!
Give me the prism.
So much for being one of the good guys.
- Let him go! - Enough!
Shit!
Megan Hathaway.
Megan Hathaway's been alive all this time?
In a manner of speaking.
Ladies, please give me your hands.
What? You're gonna tie us up?
Oh, you should be used to this by now.
[scoffs]
And if you'll excuse us, we have a party to go to.
And you're not invited.
I hope everyone here is having a winning evening.
[cheering and applause]
Still not sign of Dad or John.
You're about to feast your eyes on one of the famous,
Torvette prisms.
[cheering and applause]
The power of these prisms can be used to treat brain tumors and other illness
that are believed to be incurable.
[cheering and applause]
And now I give you one of the famous...
Torvette prisms.
[cheering and applause]
Okay. He unveiled the prism.
Why isn't anything happening?
I don't think it's gonna be long now.
