00:00So of course I follow both of your children on social media, although I have
00:06to tell you they make me feel like I'm out of the loop. Oh my gosh, tell me
00:09about it. Your children are out there in the world, they're working hard, they're
00:13having adventures. So brave and so confident. Does it remind you of anyone?
00:18Like your daughter? Colleen would have loved your children. Maddie would be her
00:24favorite person on the planet. Next to you, of course. Yeah, it would have been
00:29nights for Maddie to have someone trustworthy to confide in, and Colleen
00:32would have given her advice about things just like she did with me even though I
00:35thought I never needed it. Tracey, I'm sorry. I mean, if it's too painful to talk
00:43about Colleen. No, never. I love it. Always. I don't get to talk about her enough.
00:53Don't worry about any of this. It's just that there are hardly any people that
00:57that know her as well as you do or that have these memories with her.
01:00Yeah. My beautiful, creative, intelligent friend. She was all of that. She was.
01:08And I am so grateful to have had her in my life, even though it was just so brief. But
01:14it helps you know how precious our children are. Yeah, I mean, they mean everything, right?
01:20Yeah. And distance is really hard. Yeah. Mine won't even come home for Christmas.
01:26What? Is it like work schedules or something? I told them I would meet them somewhere.
01:32Anywhere, you know, but they said maybe next year.
01:35Lily, is this about Cain? I'm sure. I mean, there's no communication, right? And I feel like it's partly my fault,
01:45because I feel like I've done everything wrong when it comes to Cain and the kids.
01:48Okay. Lily, listen. Do you remember when Colleen was in her rebellious phase? She rebelled against
01:55me and her dad, and then both of us, and she moved in with her Uncle Jack for a while?
02:01During that whole time, the love was always there, and she always, always came back.
02:07I know. I know. You're right. You're right. I'm just, I'm...
02:10I'm not going to give up. I'll give it another chance. Of course you're not going to give up.
02:16Now, the situation with Cain, you do have a little bit of control over. So how are things going between
02:21the two of you? Oh gosh, it is very messy and confusing. Oh, that's so much better than bitter
02:27and angry. Yeah. I mean, you know, I kept my distance for a while. And that's changed?
02:34I mean, things have gotten even more complicated. I can send money or arrange for tickets.
02:47Anything to get you two home for Christmas. To be with Mom. Uh, don't worry, I won't be randomly
02:54showing up or angling for a visit. I just don't want to be the reason that you three don't spend the
03:00week together. So, uh, text me back. Let me know. Okay? I'll make it happen.
03:14Knock, knock. Is it a bad time? And if it is? Well, if it is, I apologize.
03:22Can I come in? Walking into enemy territory. That, uh, that takes brass.
03:31It does. I know. I know it takes brass. Thank you. What do you want, Phyllis?
03:46Hey, bud. I know you weren't happy going on lockdown with
04:16Sienna, but we were right going on high alert. Matt is definitely back in town. We have the
04:21security footage to prove it. Now is not the time to go radio silent. I need you to get in touch
04:27with me or your mother and absolutely keep a low profile until we can get you back on the ranch.
04:33Call me. Turns out stress baking doesn't always reduce stress, but maybe sugar will help.
04:40Something has to. So, Noah hasn't returned any of your messages?
04:46No. And he's made his point. You know, all that talk about being an adult and showing Sienna around.
04:53He is not afraid of Matt. Well, he should be. Matt is a maniac. And I want Noah home now.
05:08Matt is a maniac. He is a maniac. I want Noah home now.
05:15Sienna?
05:24Sienna?
05:25Okay, let's talk about that.
05:37What's happening with you and Cain?
05:39I mean, are you talking to each other more?
05:41Not on purpose, at least.
05:44You're talking accidentally?
05:45That's interesting.
05:46Well, we'll run into each other, you know,
05:49and we'll start talking, and sometimes it makes me crazy.
05:52And other times, he's very entertaining and convincing.
05:58Convincing about what?
06:00Well, he convinced me to take him to the Abbott Communications launch party.
06:04Wait, he was your date, and I missed him?
06:07No, no, he was not my date.
06:09He was my plus one, and you know how the night ended.
06:12With Newman Media's attack piece.
06:17I'm just so sorry I missed Billy's big night.
06:19But there had to have been some celebrating, right?
06:21Yeah, for a while, definitely.
06:23But he had to have been really convincing to get you to agree.
06:26Or I was very weak.
06:29Why did you say yes?
06:31I don't know.
06:32He was funny and, you know, not brooding like he was as Dumas.
06:38I feel like since his company fell apart, he's been lighter.
06:41I just felt easier to be around him, kind of like how it used to be.
06:44And that's disorienting, isn't it?
06:46I mean, to be reminded of the past when you have fought so hard to forget it.
06:50But you really did have a special relationship.
06:53Yeah, well, we've been through a lot together.
06:56My cancer, the baby's coming early, the chaos of his family.
07:01I mean, not that mine was calm.
07:02And you did all of that together.
07:05Yeah.
07:07Until it all fell apart.
07:09Lily, I think every relationship sort of has its own evolution.
07:14The two of you are very connected.
07:17Because of your kids.
07:18Because of your marriage.
07:20And even when you're furious with him, he's still in your thoughts.
07:24Just why does he have to be so charming and funny suddenly?
07:30He was always charming and funny.
07:33Yeah, but he could also be selfish and hurtful.
07:36Yeah, and we all are that way, too, from time to time.
07:41Okay, now you're being rational.
07:42I know, how can I do that?
07:43And it's Christmas and everything.
07:44I know, it's terrible.
07:47Oh, Lily, I just want you to find a way to give yourself a break.
07:50Seriously, it is okay to laugh and have fun.
07:55Even with a charming jerk who gave you two beautiful children.
07:59Real happiness in life is so rare.
08:02And it needs to be cherished.
08:04And I want you to be able to enjoy it when it comes along.
08:10Well, I think that you're very challenging.
08:13God bless us, everyone.
08:15Yeah, you're doing your damnedest to just yank me around all the time, aren't you?
08:23Like that kiss out of nowhere.
08:25Out of nowhere?
08:26Really?
08:27Okay, well, I'm not done.
08:28Is that all you think I was doing?
08:29I'm not done.
08:29Okay, well, then by all means.
08:30I think we are the same.
08:32Okay.
08:33We see life the same way.
08:37Too much is never enough for us.
08:41Yeah, some people might see that level of entitlement as narcissism.
08:44Well, I think some people are stupid.
08:47I think some people care about labels.
08:49And I don't.
08:50I'm a doer.
08:50I make things happen.
08:52So, here I am.
08:54Yeah, and I still don't know why.
08:56We should be friends.
09:00Compadres.
09:01Yeah.
09:04Pals.
09:05You were done with me, Phyllis.
09:08I was done with you.
09:11Forever.
09:13And now, suddenly, you just want to be pals.
09:17Hmm?
09:19Yeah.
09:20I have a gift for you.
09:21Yeah.
09:21No, thank you.
09:22All right, take it.
09:22It's the holiday.
09:23It's a gift.
09:25Take it.
09:25Is it ticking?
09:26Well, maybe.
09:28So, you better open it, or else we're going to self-destruct in ten seconds.
09:31What is it?
09:37Blunt-force murder weapon?
09:38Ha-ha.
09:40Uh, no.
09:41It's a puzzle for a man who likes puzzles and mazes.
09:48Well, that's intriguing.
09:49You can take it apart.
09:51So, you could try to put it back together again.
09:53Yeah, I don't try.
09:54I just do.
09:55Well, it's trickier than how it looks.
09:57All good things are.
09:58Look, I am, here I am empty-handed.
10:01I don't, I don't have a gift for you.
10:02Okay, Santa.
10:05I'll just whisper something in your ear.
10:08And you can make magic happen.
10:13Noah, please call me or your father.
10:17We need to know that you're okay.
10:21You're as worried as I am, aren't you?
10:24He said he could take care of himself.
10:25Well, the last time that Noah didn't answer, it was because Matt had him locked up.
10:31Well, he was recovering then.
10:32He's like 100% now.
10:34The options are, he's ignoring us because he knows that we're trying to keep him safe,
10:40or because Matt got to him again.
10:43Look, he probably just wanted to show Cena around, spend some time with this woman he cares about.
10:48That happens.
10:49This is ridiculous.
10:50I know.
10:52How about if I just go track him down myself?
10:54Oh, and then you'll run straight into Matt yourself.
10:57Perfect.
10:58Can't think like that, okay?
10:59We can't let Matt think that he's got the upper hand here because he doesn't.
11:03I've got traps set for him all over town.
11:05That doesn't mean Noah is safe out there.
11:07Neither are you.
11:09All right.
11:10How about this?
11:10I promise you I will keep in touch with you constantly, okay?
11:17It's Noah.
11:18Hey, your mom and I were hoping to hear from you.
11:21Is Sienna there?
11:23Is she with me?
11:24No, son.
11:25We thought she was with you.
11:26She's not.
11:28I don't know where she is.
11:36Noah, I'm putting you on speakerphone.
11:37Noah, tell us what happened.
11:42I took Sienna to the park.
11:43What?
11:44Why would you do that?
11:45I made it clear that I want you to stay here where you will be safe.
11:49I just wanted us to feel like normal people for five minutes.
11:52Ever since I was run off the road, life has been one nightmare after another.
11:55So you put yourself at risk for yet another one by running off?
11:59Okay, can we not do this right now, Mom?
12:01I screwed up.
12:02I shouldn't have left.
12:03I wanted to show Sienna around.
12:04And obviously that was a stupid idea because I've lost her.
12:07He's right.
12:08Now's not the time.
12:08Just tell us what happened.
12:10I don't know exactly.
12:11Someone bashed me on the back of the head and knocked me out.
12:13I woke up.
12:14Sienna was gone.
12:15Noah, is there any chance that Sienna's the one who knocked you out?
12:20No, that's insane.
12:21I'm not saying that she wanted to hurt you, but if she wanted to leave town and she didn't
12:25think that you would let her, then maybe...
12:27She wouldn't have left me on the ground unconscious.
12:29I don't see that either.
12:31Okay.
12:32You're both right.
12:33Are you at the park?
12:34Is your head okay?
12:35Should we call an ambulance?
12:36We can come and get you.
12:37No, I'm okay.
12:38I got out of there.
12:39Came to Crimson Lights, figured it was safer to be in public.
12:42That's good thinking.
12:43But Sienna, we have to find her.
12:45It was mad.
12:46It has to be.
12:47All right?
12:47He has her.
12:48I know it.
12:49He didn't even have the guts to face us.
12:50You're right.
12:51This isn't just about him grabbing her.
12:53That's not his MO.
12:54This is all part of a bigger plan.
12:56We have to find them both before he hurts her, before he...
12:58Before he kills her.
13:00Noah, just stay put.
13:02Your mom and I are on the way.
13:03Do you remember when you and Colleen moved back here after you and Steve split up?
13:12I do.
13:14And I think I know where you're going with this.
13:17Eventually, Steve and I got back together, and Colleen was not happy about it.
13:21But one thing I know for sure, Cain is not Steve, and we're not talking about a reunion,
13:29are we?
13:32Are we?
13:33I thought we were just talking about you allowing yourself to be comfortable being around Cain.
13:37I mean, that's what I meant.
13:38Are we talking about a reunion?
13:40No, no, no, no.
13:41No.
13:42Of course not.
13:42Well, then, why is it a bad thing for you to find him entertaining and enjoy chatting with him?
13:49No, I'm just more surprised by my own reactions than anything.
13:54That's okay.
13:55It's good to surprise ourselves from time to time.
13:57I mean, I think it's a gift, you know?
13:59Otherwise, we'd get bored.
14:00Thank you, by the way, for all the sweet advice, when I know the Abbotts have enough on their
14:06plates right now.
14:08Victor.
14:09Yeah, and Adam, and Newman Media.
14:12Well, so much for a peaceful Christmas.
14:14Is Chabot going to be okay?
14:16No thanks to Victor's media ambush.
14:20Jack and Diane are working very hard to keep everything afloat, as is Kyle, and Billy, too.
14:26I'm so sorry, Tracy.
14:28I am.
14:29Like, I really feel like when my dad was working for Victor, it's like, even though Victor was
14:33obsessed with winning, he kind of knew how to keep him in check, you know?
14:38But it's like, now he's gone, and my ex is the reason why Victor holds all the cards right now.
14:44You know, I don't know what it is.
14:45Is it age or mortality that makes Victor feel like this is his big chance to take down Jack
14:52and Chabot?
14:54But I don't blame Kane.
14:56If it wasn't the computer program, Victor would have found another way.
15:02Yeah, but not this lethal.
15:04I mean, this whole AI thing is because of Dumas.
15:06And when I think about that, I don't know how Kane can ever rectify the damage that he's caused.
15:14You know, there's something about you, Phyllis.
15:16Yeah, I've heard.
15:18When you drop your voice, you get that look in your eye.
15:21What look?
15:22That look, when I realize that you're about to work me over.
15:29No.
15:30I'm not working you over.
15:33I gave you a gift.
15:35I gave you a gift.
15:36I regret walking away from you.
15:44You hate mind games and the back and forth.
15:48Yeah, here you are trying to get me back on the scoreboard.
15:51Yeah, Kane.
15:57Oh, come on.
15:58We make a good team.
15:59You know that.
16:00Who else are you going to find in this town who is as ambitious and passionate as I am?
16:07Passionate or desperate?
16:09Desperate.
16:10Really?
16:10You know what?
16:12The only people who make fun of desperation are the people who have never had to scrap and save and fight for what they want.
16:23You know what?
16:23It's a thing that, you know, motivates me in the morning.
16:26My desperation.
16:28I was supposed to be at the top of my game with Chancellor, then Abbott Communications, and then frickin' Arabesque.
16:36Forget about Jabot.
16:37Yeah, Jabot.
16:38You know, I could have been living large right now, but right now, what do I have?
16:41I have nothing.
16:42I have nothing at all.
16:45So, that's why I have come here, um, with humility, with my hat in my hand, and, yeah, desperation.
17:01I think that the two of us together are the answer.
17:05You didn't think that a week ago.
17:06No, I didn't, because you caved to Lily.
17:09I mean, we could have been both at the top of our game as well, and, and you went soft.
17:16I need you, and I think you know you need me, too.
17:26I think that's a very nice way to put it.
17:40I can't even imagine how that conversation went when he gave the order to create the world's most insidious programming weapon.
17:47Yeah, to show everyone how powerful he could be.
17:50But.
17:51Is there a but when there's something this dangerous?
17:55When he found out the program was stolen, he went to Jack, and he warned him.
17:58Yeah, because, of course, it was Victor who ended up with it, and he knew he would go after Jabot.
18:03But the warning.
18:04It made a difference.
18:06Yeah, but does he deserve credit for that?
18:08It was still his fault.
18:09Okay, I understand.
18:12But don't you think Cain knows he's made a mistake?
18:14Well, he always realizes it after the fact.
18:17So are we talking about the present?
18:19Or the past?
18:21We're talking about Cain.
18:24Whom you used to love deeply.
18:27Yes, I know I did, because he had decency in him.
18:31He would have done anything for me and the kids, you know?
18:33He was a good man.
18:35Do you think he's still a good man?
18:37I mean, would a good man create something this vicious?
18:40Okay.
18:41Good people make dangerous things because they think they can control it.
18:46Yeah, and he was wrong.
18:47Come now, come.
18:49But, but, is the decency still there?
18:54I mean, I don't know, but I think it doesn't matter.
18:57Oh, Lily, you know that's not the truth.
19:00Forgiveness doesn't do anybody any good if it comes too late.
19:03And the same can be said for love.
19:07And at my age, believe me, none of us has any time to waste.
19:16I'm guessing that awesome deal of yours fell through then, huh?
19:21Um, if you would like to gloat, go ahead.
19:24I'll let you gloat.
19:25Yes, yes.
19:27And, um, I'm here, empty-handed, cupboards are bare.
19:32Victor double-crossed you.
19:34Now you're here, asking to team up with the guy that you robbed.
19:38Uh, we're perfect for each other, you know?
19:41It'll work because, uh, we know the worst of each other.
19:44That's a positive for you?
19:45Yeah, we know what's up with the other one, you know?
19:48It's, it's, uh, we save wasted energy.
19:50Let me ask you a question.
19:52Why would two people who don't trust each other team up together?
19:54Hmm.
19:56That is a good question.
19:57Yeah.
19:57That is a very good question.
19:58I'm going to tell you why.
20:00Uh, because we know what we're capable of.
20:05So, um, we understand what we have to do.
20:08It keeps us on our toes.
20:09We understand the task at hand.
20:11I can do that on my own.
20:12Okay, but you, you leave yourself open for attack.
20:15Attack?
20:15Phyllis, you're the one that attacked me.
20:17Really?
20:18You want to dwell on that?
20:19You want to keep on bringing that up, that little detail that I attacked you?
20:23Really?
20:25Oh, I'm sorry.
20:26No, you don't have to be sorry.
20:29Because we're a perfect team.
20:32We have comparable ambition.
20:34Nobody has your level of ambition.
20:37You don't think I bring enough to the table, do you?
20:39No, quite the opposite, Phyllis.
20:41Phyllis, I'm, I'm, I'm wondering what I could possibly have left.
20:45That could be of any use to you.
20:50Noah.
20:50Noah, are you okay?
20:51Do you have any headache, any nausea?
20:53Have you heard from Sienna?
20:55Oh, could you get me some ice in a towel?
20:58We have got to get you into bed.
21:00Sienna is in trouble.
21:01And I will find her.
21:02Okay.
21:03No, no, no, no, no.
21:04You are in no condition to come with me.
21:06Thank you so much.
21:08No, please don't argue right now.
21:10You've just recovered from the car crash.
21:12Yes, and I shouldn't have left the ranch.
21:14And I'm the reason that Matt found Sienna and me.
21:16I know all of this.
21:17The only person giving you a hard time right now is you.
21:20All right?
21:20We all want the same thing.
21:22And that's for you to be safe and for Matt to be out of our lives.
21:24All I want is to find Sienna.
21:25I know you do.
21:28Where do we even look?
21:29Did Matt have connections here that we didn't know about?
21:31Where did he live?
21:32Noah, slow down.
21:34We don't even know if you have a concussion.
21:36Matt has Sienna.
21:38And he could be dragging her back to Los Angeles or anywhere.
21:41If he gets her out of town now, I might never see her again.
21:43Do you ever worry that maybe you give people more credit than they deserve?
21:57I have.
21:59And that person turned out to be pure evil.
22:02Tracy, I'm sorry.
22:03Forget I said anything, honestly.
22:05No, no, honey.
22:05No, no.
22:06It's okay.
22:07It's like talking about Colleen.
22:09People won't even mention Martin's name to me.
22:12Our scars are a part of us.
22:16Our scars make us who we are.
22:18And life is about learning how to live with them and learning how to go on and be brave enough to try again.
22:25Do you ever think you'll fall in love again?
22:28I think...
22:29I think that's complicated.
22:31But if it comes, it comes.
22:35I will tell you a little secret, though.
22:36When I'm writing, I fall in love with every single one of my characters.
22:43And when they fall in love with each other, I feel it.
22:48I feel the butterflies and the nervousness and the hope.
22:55Well, what about when your characters break each other's hearts?
22:59I feel that, too.
23:00But I know that there is always going to be another chapter, even if I don't write it.
23:07It's what keeps me open to possibility.
23:11That there's always a chance that they will fall in love again.
23:15Maybe even with each other.
23:17Tracy.
23:17No.
23:18Anything is possible, my sweet friend.
23:22You said that you could forgive me for stealing the software.
23:29That's what you said.
23:29In theory.
23:30In theory.
23:31Well, let's start there.
23:32Why?
23:32Why would I do that?
23:33Oh.
23:35Please.
23:36Can let's not dwell on who did what to whom?
23:40Well, you did the what.
23:41I'm the whom.
23:42Me.
23:42I care for them.
23:43I didn't gut Arabesque.
23:45That wasn't me.
23:46Look at the real culprit.
23:48Who's the real enemy here?
23:49Yeah, I know.
23:50It's Victor.
23:50Yeah, it's Victor.
23:52You're going to accept defeat from Victor?
23:55No.
23:56Good.
23:56So let me help you.
23:59Help me with what?
24:01Get payback.
24:03Not to mention money and power.
24:05In that order?
24:06Yeah, in that order.
24:08Maybe.
24:09We need to get our priorities straight.
24:11I mean, you want what you want, right?
24:13I want what I want.
24:16Listen, let's not waste any time hating each other.
24:18It's so boring.
24:21I mean, I would rather team up with you.
24:24This, going for what we want, seems like it would be a lot more fun, right?
24:30What's your plan?
24:33Is that your version of yes?
24:38Matt may have schemes and plans in Los Angeles, but he's got no power.
24:42Your father's right.
24:44Matt can't just kidnap Sienna and sneak out of town.
24:47He doesn't have any resources.
24:49You're the ones who told me what a psycho he is.
24:51You can't just change it up now that Sienna is missing.
24:53He knows everything.
24:55That we know who he is, that Sienna and I are together.
24:58His funds are cut off, yeah, but what does he have to lose?
25:01When you're dealing with someone like Matt, it is instinctive to think the worst.
25:05But I don't think we're there yet, Noah, right?
25:08You thought of something, didn't you?
25:10Did you, Nick?
25:11Yeah, but you're not going to like it.
25:14Tell me.
25:15What if Matt didn't take her?
25:17What if Sienna went with him willingly?
25:19Why do you keep assuming the worst of her?
25:22All right, she's in danger.
25:23She didn't knock me out.
25:24She didn't run away with Matt.
25:25We know you have feelings for her.
25:27I love her.
25:28But can we completely rule out that these two have been playing the long game?
25:32Yes, I can.
25:33Look, son, we think that we have wiped Matt out.
25:35What if we're wrong about that?
25:37What if Sienna has stashed away some money?
25:39Enough that they can go and start a new life somewhere else.
25:42Why would she run off with me?
25:44I don't know, but maybe it's part of the bigger plan, you know, to infiltrate the family.
25:48Sienna's already been out to the ranch.
25:49No, no, Dad, stop, okay?
25:50This is a waste of time.
25:51I won't listen to this.
25:52Okay, I know her, and there's no way in hell that's possible.
25:56And if you don't want to believe me, then I don't need or want your help.
25:59I'll find it myself.
26:04It's unknown caller.
26:05Give me the phone.
26:08Hello?
26:09Hey there, friend.
26:11Miss me?
26:13I am so glad we got to do this.
26:21I am too, Lily.
26:23So much.
26:24And I hope you know I'm always just a phone call or a text away.
26:28Honey, I have a whole room in my heart filled with memories of you and Colleen.
26:35I'm so grateful to still have you in my life in this way.
26:38I feel the same way.
26:39I mean, it's not fair that we have the people that we love so much taken so early, but the fact that we can have conversations like this, especially this time of year, it really helps.
26:50It is pretty bittersweet.
26:54The things we celebrate and then the people and the moments that we miss.
27:00Are you telling me I'm arcane?
27:03Am I?
27:04Okay.
27:05Maybe I am.
27:06But it's only because you are acting so torn about all of this.
27:09I'm just afraid that you're going to debate with yourself and you'll never, ever be able to resolve the issue.
27:14And that's nowhere to be.
27:17I know.
27:18I mean, I do miss when we were a family.
27:21We were happy.
27:23You know?
27:23But then I can't forget how it all fell apart either, right?
27:28How we fell apart.
27:29Okay.
27:31Lily, I'm not asking you to go against your head or your heart.
27:34I'm just thinking maybe if you take the man he is today, a man who has made some mistakes and has some regrets,
27:43maybe he has learned from them.
27:47I mean, it would be good for the kids if their parents got along.
27:50And good for the parents, too.
27:53Wait, we were talking about me spending time with Cain.
27:56Now you're talking about love?
27:57I feel like you're tricking me.
27:58I would never.
28:02But Colleen might.
28:04So maybe we'll just say Colleen was in charge of this conversation.
28:08Tracy, I love you.
28:10I love you right back.
28:13I knew you'd see sense.
28:18I'm a sucker for puzzles.
28:20See, but I can read you.
28:21I know you.
28:22I can see inside your mind.
28:24And together, this just makes sense.
28:27What kind of together?
28:29Well, that's open for discussion.
28:32Equal partners?
28:33Yeah, equal.
28:35Except for, you know, the days that you want to be on top.
28:38Would that work?
28:41We'll give it a try.
28:42What happens if you decide to fire me on my day off?
28:45Well, then you could just unfire yourself the next day.
28:48Right.
28:48Okay.
28:49Well, equal partners it is.
28:50Mm-hmm.
28:51What's your plan, fellas?
28:54I'm going to steal that AI software back.
28:57Okay.
28:57That easy, huh?
28:59Yeah.
28:59That easy.
29:00And then we take over Newman Enterprises.
29:04Okay, good.
29:05Well, I'm glad to see you're keeping things simple and realistic.
29:08Like any of that is hard?
29:10I'm sure you could do that in your sleep.
29:12Why do you need me?
29:13Because we're a good team.
29:16And because you could take over the divisions in Newman Enterprises that bore me, that I'm not good at.
29:25Or you need me to be the fall guy, in case your plan flatlines.
29:28It's not going to flatline.
29:29That's why you have to make sure it stays very, very alive.
29:36If you hurt Sienna.
29:37If I hurt Sienna, what?
29:39What are you going to do?
29:40Are you going to kill me, Noah?
29:43Your violent instincts, they come from the Newman side.
29:46Where is she?
29:47You should keep better track of your woman.
29:49No, she's not my woman.
29:51Unlike you, I don't think of Sienna's property.
29:53And yet you've misplaced her.
29:55She'd duck out on you.
29:57She can do that, you know.
29:58You think she's just having a drink with a friend or working late, but really she's canoodling with a much younger man in a hotel room.
30:04When exactly, Noah, did you decide to go after my wife?
30:08Was it love at first sight or was it more like a slow burn?
30:11Because I get it.
30:13That tough girl act.
30:14I mean, yeah, it's just an act, but...
30:17Man, Sienna can really get under a man's skin.
30:20What have you done to her?
30:21Was it because your parents just bounced from lover to lover, from affair to affair?
30:25Do they just raise you to think that that's what people do?
30:28Because it's not, Noah.
30:29And it's a shame you never learned that.
30:31Yeah.
30:32It was all me.
30:34And not Sienna.
30:35So let her go and take me instead.
30:38Only a coward would knock me out without ever looking me in the eye.
30:40Someone knocked you out?
30:41Oh, heavens.
30:43Wasn't me.
30:44I'll give you the chance.
30:46Trade me for Sienna.
30:47Then you and I can handle this on our own.
30:49Just the two of us.
30:50Just leave my family alone, you hear me?
31:14Hi.
31:15Hello.
31:16I'm, uh, nudging Michael to help us.
31:19Oh.
31:21Well, you are relentless in the best possible way.
31:25Chabot means everything to Jack.
31:27Not everything.
31:30Jack's family has always been the most important thing to him.
31:33True.
31:34And since I'm now an abbot, I'm not about to let Victor hurt Jack or anyone else in this family.
31:41Well, how wonderful to have you on our side.
31:44Okay, if Ashley said that, I'd think she was being a little snarky.
31:49Yeah, she would have her own special twist, I'm sure.
31:52But in a situation like this, Diane, I think she would really mean it this time.
31:56Well, when you've been out in the cold for so long, being part of a family, finally.
32:01Makes you feel like it's worth it to put everything on the line.
32:05Yeah.
32:06Jack is such a good man.
32:08And he has so much integrity.
32:10And he still has his fight, but he fights fair.
32:12And sometimes, people don't deserve that.
32:15So, I just want to even the odds.
32:18And this time, you're doing it legally.
32:21On the up and up.
32:22That should be commended.
32:23Okay, there's no halo on my head.
32:27But you know what?
32:27If I could find a way to stick it to Victor, less legally, I'd do it in a heartbeat.
32:31You know what, Diane?
32:34I think you might be the fighter this family needs.
32:38I hope you know how lucky we are to have you.
32:43You know, I redid the house as a thank you to the Abbott.
32:49It's a way to belong.
32:51Who knew all I needed to do was fight like hell?
32:54Be yourself, in other words.
32:56It sounds like that.
32:57And the house is fantastic, you have to admit.
33:00Oh, Diane, come here.
33:04Listen, it is our new mission to now embrace the season.
33:09We need to be joyful and to hold each other close.
33:14And to always remember that it is really important to fight for the things that matter most.
33:20Yeah.
33:21Happy Christmas, Diane.
33:22You too, Triss.
33:25Why would you do that?
33:30I don't even know if CNN is still alive.
33:32Matt wants to make you suffer.
33:34There's no way he's ever going to give you any hope or reassurances.
33:37This isn't your fight.
33:39Oh, yes, it is.
33:40It belonged to me and your father long before you were born.
33:43We need to get Grandpa's team on this.
33:45Try to find a way to track the location of this phone.
33:47Just slow down.
33:48No.
33:48Slow down.
33:49Hey, look, if you're not going to try to help me.
33:50What is it you think I'm trying to do, son?
33:53All right, Matt wants you to suffer like everyone else in this family.
33:56He wants Sienna to worry about you the way you are about her.
33:58But he's not going to do anything to her because that will remove his leverage.
34:01How do we find her before he decides to change his mind and just...
34:05He won't.
34:06He won't.
34:06Okay, I can't take that chance.
34:07Won't we force his hand now and not later?
34:10Give me your phone.
34:10Dick.
34:11It's okay.
34:12I got this.
34:20Did Mommy give you back your phone?
34:22It's me.
34:23Oh.
34:24Hello, Daddy.
34:27Detective Burrow is in Genoa City now.
34:28He's working with the GCPD.
34:30Now, you may have a lot of cops out in L.A. in your pocket, but you're not going to be able to buy any of them here.
34:34Listen to you, all strong and powerful.
34:37I actually think I hear some panic in that voice of yours, Matt.
34:39But it doesn't have to be like that.
34:42Did you just call me back to act like that tough guy?
34:45I'm calling to give you a chance.
34:48I want to make a deal.
34:49You know, running Newman Enterprises does sound nice in theory, but I mean, does it leave time for, like, watching Sunset or hobbies, learning a new language?
35:07Like, I mean, look at this.
35:08I haven't even started this thing yet.
35:10You want to watch the Sunset?
35:12Who are you going to do that with?
35:14Who are you going to do that puzzle with?
35:16Your kids?
35:18Lily?
35:20Kane, you don't have anyone.
35:22When you gave up your ambition, that's what happened.
35:26You are totally alone.
35:30I have my self-respect.
35:32I mean, does self-respect run Newman Enterprises?
35:35I think you'd have more self-respect when you're doing that.
35:38With my partner.
35:39With your partner.
35:45Just you and me, Aristotle.
35:47Don't call me that.
35:49That's not me.
35:50It's not?
35:51Really?
35:54Well, I think it could be you.
35:58It should be you.
36:07Why don't you let Aristotle?
36:09Come out and play.
36:15Do you want to take over the world with me?
36:39Join us again for the young and the restless.
36:57Do you want to take over the world with me?
36:58Do you want to take over the world with me?
36:59Do you want to take over the world with me?
37:00Do you want to take over the world with me?
37:01Do you want to take over the world with me?
37:02Do you want to take over the world with me?
37:03Do you want to take over the world with me?
37:04Do you want to take over the world with me?
37:05Do you want to take over the world with me?
37:06Do you want to take over the world with me?
37:07Do you want to take over the world with me?
37:08Do you want to take over the world with me?
37:09Do you want to take over the world with me?
37:10Do you want to take over the world with me?
37:11Do you want to take over the world with me?
37:13Do you want to take over the world with me?
37:14Do you want to take over the world with me?
