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.
05:08I 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.
17:28I 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.
17:50Is 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, it made a difference.
18:06Yeah, but does he deserve credit for that?
18:08It was still his fault.
18:09Okay, I understand, but 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.
18:35And do 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.
19:08And 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?
19:18Um, if you would like to gloat, go ahead.
19:24I'll let you gloat.
19:25Yes, yes.
19:28And, um, I'm here, empty-handed.
19:31Cupboards are bare.
19:32Victor double-crossed you.
19:34Now you're here, asking to team up with the guy that you robbed.
19:36Uh, 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.
19:51Why 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 gonna tell you why.
20:00Uh, because we know what we're capable of, so, um, we understand what we have to do.
20:08It keeps us on our toes.
20:09We understand the task at hand, right?
20:11I can do that on my own.
20:12Okay, but you leave yourself open for attack.
20:14Attack?
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.
20:41I'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?
20:52Any 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, no.
21:04You are in no condition to come with me.
21:06Thank you so much.
21:08Noah, 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.
21:26I know you do.
21:28Where do we even look?
21:30Did 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.
21:40If he gets her out of town now, I might never see her again.
21:52Do 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.
22:32But 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.
22:54Well, what about when your characters break each other's hearts?
22:59I feel that, too.
23:01But 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, anything is possible, my sweet friend.
23:25You 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, please.
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.
24:08We need to get our priorities straight.
24:12I 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?
24:35Matt may have schemes and plans in Los Angeles, but he's got no power here.
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.
24:56That Sienna and I are together.
24:58His funds are cut off.
24:59Yeah, but what does he have to lose?
25:00When 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.
25:07Right?
25:08You thought of something, didn't you?
25:09Did 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?
25:19I'm not this.
25:20Why 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.
25:53And there's no way in hell that's possible.
25:55And 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 a unknown caller.
26:05Give me the phone.
26:08Hello?
26:09Hey there, friend.
26:11Miss me?
26:12I 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.
26:44But the fact that we can have conversations like this, especially this time of year, it really helps.
26:51It is pretty bittersweet.
26:54The things we celebrate and then the people and the moments that we miss.
27:01Are you telling me I'm arcane?
27:03Am I?
27:03Okay, maybe 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.
27:22You know, but 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.
27:46I 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.
28:12I love you right back.
28:16I 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, that easy.
29:02And 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?
29:14Because we're a good team.
29:16And because you could take over the divisions in Newman Enterprises that bore me.
29:23But I'm not good at it.
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.
29:33If you hurt Sienna.
29:37If I hurt Sienna, what?
29:39What are you going to do?
29:40You're 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 duck out on you?
29:57She can do that, you know.
29:59You 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.
30:11That tough girl act, I mean, yeah, it's just an act, but man, Sienna can really get under a man's skin.
30:20What have you done to her?
30:22Was it because your parents just bounced from lover to lover, from affair to affair?
30:25Did they just raise you to think that that's what people do?
30:28Because it's not Noah, and it's a shame you never learned that.
30:31Yeah, it was all me, 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? Oh, heavens.
30:43Wasn't me.
30:44I'll give you the chance.
30:46Trade me for Sienna, then you and I can handle this on our own.
30:49Just the two of us.
30:51Leave my family alone, you hear me?
31:10I'll give you the chance.
31:11I'll give you the chance.
31:12I'll give you the chance.
31:13I'll give you the chance.
31:14I'll give you the chance.
31:15Hi.
31:16Hello.
31:17I'm, uh, nudging Michael to help us.
31:19Oh.
31:20Well, you are relentless in the best possible way.
31:25Well, Chabot 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.
32:32You know what, Diane?
32:34I think you might be the fighter this family needs.
32:37I 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.
33:01Oh, Diane, come here.
33:02Listen, 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.
33:20Happy Christmas, Diane.
33:22You too, Triss.
33:29Why 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
34:33able 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
35:01time 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.
35:27You are totally alone.
35:30I have my self-respect.
35:31I 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.
35:41Yeah.
35:42With your partner.
35:45Just you and me, Aristotle.
35:47Don't call me that.
35:49That's not me.
35:50It's not?
35:52Really?
35:52Really?
35:54Well, I think it could be you.
35:58It should be you.
35:59Why don't you let Aristotle come out and play?
36:15Do you want to take over the world with me?
36:26Okay.
36:29Join 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?
37:12Do you want to take over the world with me?
37:13Do you want to take over the world with me?
