00:00A thing?
00:03No.
00:04I'm looking at the gift that my beautiful kids Johnny and Katie got me for Christmas.
00:10An invisible watch?
00:12It's not a thing, but I'm sure it will be soon enough.
00:16You know, they got me an amazing box to put my watch in,
00:18and then they took my watch off and put it in the box.
00:22I don't get it.
00:24It was their way of telling their dad to slow down a little bit,
00:28to not rush everywhere he goes.
00:32Aw.
00:34That's sweet.
00:35That's clever.
00:37Can I have an Americano, please?
00:39I agree.
00:40I thought it was very cool, you know?
00:43I think we're all so used to rushing around everywhere we go,
00:45we don't have to be accessible 24 hours a day.
00:48I'd imagine that you and your family would have a lot of time to stop and smell the roses,
00:53considering your company's going to crash and burn.
00:56The lights are still on, Phyllis.
00:58That's not the word on the street.
00:59Well, your sources are wrong.
01:00Oh, okay.
01:02You know, it's funny.
01:03I don't wear a watch.
01:03You know I never have.
01:05But I do have a phone.
01:08Did your kids take your phone from you?
01:10Is that why you haven't called me?
01:10It's very funny.
01:11My offer is very good.
01:17I get that program from Victor that he took from Cain.
01:22And you give my daughter full ownership of Mercetti.
01:26It is a good deal.
01:28What do you say?
01:32Noah.
01:33What?
01:34I could use a little break.
01:37Do you want to go for a walk with me?
01:39No.
01:39No, thanks.
01:41Well, it might do you some good.
01:43Take your mind off everything for at least a little while.
01:46No.
01:46Sienna is missing.
01:48Okay, I don't know if she's alive or dead right now.
01:49And I should have gone with Dad.
01:51I should have gone instead of Dad.
01:53We all agreed that it would be best for your father to be the one to deal with Matt.
01:58No.
01:59No, he made that decision and you went along with it.
02:02I'm not a kid anymore, Mom.
02:03I can handle my own business.
02:04And this is definitely my business.
02:06No one else's.
02:08Okay.
02:10What would you have done if you had confronted Matt yourself?
02:14Got him to tell me where she is.
02:16And what if he wouldn't?
02:17I'd beat it out of him if I had to.
02:19See, that is exactly why you needed to stay home.
02:24Matt is a master manipulator, not to mention a sadist who enjoys inflicting pain, both physical and emotional.
02:32If you did that, you would be playing right into his hands.
02:36You'd also be signing Santa's death warrant.
02:45It would stand too close to that railing if I were you, Nick.
02:49Pretty big fall.
02:53I was wondering if you had the guts to show up.
02:55Oh, I wouldn't miss this little party for all the worlds.
02:59Where's Sienna?
03:01Let's not get ahead of ourselves.
03:02Where is she?
03:03My wife is somewhere safe.
03:06But if this little meeting doesn't go well, who's to say where she might end up?
03:09My wife's sister.
03:11My wife is...
03:12My wife is...
03:13Her mom's family.
03:15So she doesn't go well.
03:16It's time for all the worlds.
03:20But you don't even go well.
03:22What do you want?
03:23I don't even know how the world is.
03:24What do you want her?
03:25What do you want her?
03:25Well, here we want her.
03:27We want her.
03:31So she's dead.
03:32Hope you followed all my directions, Nick.
03:50Hope there won't be any police or any of your father's goons to come ruin the party,
03:55because if that happens, then Sienna's dead.
04:00It's just me.
04:02Great.
04:03And you're still the same sick bastard you've always been?
04:06It's hurtful. Now I'm wounded.
04:08You shouldn't even be here.
04:09No. It was such a neat trick I did all those years ago, faking my own death.
04:13I'm happy to tell you how I did it, but maybe not now.
04:15Now's not the time for that.
04:17Now's the time for you to climb down off of your high horse and get some business done.
04:20You said over the phone that you were willing to make a deal to get Sienna back.
04:23So start talking.
04:24Well, we, uh, we talked about it as a family, and after careful consideration, we've decided to put you on the back burner.
04:40When we spoke, you made it sound like the clock was ticking, and you were waiting for the next attack from Victor Newman on your company.
04:46That is still true.
04:47Then what's going on?
04:49I mean, you were talking about generational wealth and all of that.
04:55Now, well, I'm on the back burner.
04:59This is a huge mistake, Billy.
05:01You know it is.
05:01You know I'm the best there is.
05:04Yeah.
05:04Yeah.
05:04I can argue that, but that's not the issue, fellas.
05:07What's the issue?
05:10Look, it's Jack's decision, okay?
05:12He decides what happens with Jabot, and he wants to look at other options.
05:16Does he?
05:19Okay.
05:21Well, when these other options inevitably fail, don't come to me, because I might not be available.
05:27See, I'm looking for other options as well.
05:30Look, I don't want to be too blunt here, Phyllis, but to be honest, the issue's you.
05:35You're the issue, okay?
05:36I had to defend you to Jack.
05:39Why?
05:40Because he doesn't trust you.
05:42Because nobody trusts you.
05:43He thinks you're going to take that program and double-cross him, and do you blame him for that?
05:47I'm doing this for my daughter.
05:48Summer is the only reason I'm doing this.
05:50Sure, Phyllis.
05:51He's not buying it, okay?
05:53You have burnt so many people many, many times, so it's hard to trust what you say.
05:59That is so rich coming from you.
06:02Well, we're not talking about me.
06:03We're talking about you.
06:06Look, you want to come clean?
06:08You want to tell us the truth?
06:12Then maybe Jack will change his mind.
06:16Come clean about what?
06:18I think you know.
06:21Tell us what Victor offered you to take that AI program in the first place.
06:27Because if you don't, if you lie to me one more time, it's up.
06:31This conversation, all of it, is over.
06:33Here.
06:39What is this for?
06:41Take the edge off.
06:42You don't even like beer.
06:45Come, sit with me and relax.
06:48No, I can't relax, Mom.
06:50Okay, well, just sit with me then.
06:53Look, I know how worried you are about Sienna, and I'm sorry that we don't have any answers yet.
07:01Yeah, that's the part I don't understand, is that Grandpa has an army of people out there, so how come we haven't found her yet?
07:07Between the police and Victor's security, they are knocking on every single door.
07:11That takes time, Noah.
07:12Yeah, and Sienna may run out of that.
07:13Hey, she's probably out there so cold.
07:16I mean, she hates the cold, and she's probably out there freezing somewhere.
07:18No, no, don't go there.
07:20But what if she is?
07:21I can't stay here.
07:23What?
07:24Where do you think you're going?
07:25I'm going to go look for her.
07:26No, you're not.
07:28You can't stop me.
07:30I can make one phone call and have a dozen people over here who will stop you.
07:36I know you want to help Sienna, but this is not the way.
07:42You're not safe either, Noah.
07:44If Matt somehow got a hold of you, then there'd be two missing persons we'd be out there looking for.
07:49I am not afraid of him.
07:50And that is a mistake.
07:52We all need to be afraid of him.
07:57I'm not going to waste my time talking to you, and this is not a negotiation.
08:01Let's start with the fact that my father has ruined you financially.
08:05He's taken everything that you own.
08:08You know, what your old man did was illegal.
08:10Seriously?
08:10Yeah, seriously, Nick.
08:11In almost every corner of the world, you're hacking into somebody's bank again, you steal all their money.
08:14That's a crime.
08:16So is drug trafficking, kidnapping, attempted murder, and these are just the latest charges in this version of your life.
08:22So here's my one and only offer to you.
08:25A million dollars for the safe return of Sienna.
08:29A million dollars?
08:31Oh.
08:31That is a nice round sum.
08:34And then you're gone.
08:36You disappear.
08:37You do not show your face around here again, or the police are the last thing you're going to worry about.
08:41I'm listening to you.
08:42All your empty threats.
08:43All talk.
08:43No action.
08:44Just like always.
08:46We'll see about that.
08:47I know you're dying to hear about how I faked my own death, and humblebrag, it was awesome, but I don't know if now's really the time for that.
08:54I mean, if you'd like, I would think that you're in a little bit of a time crunch with Sienna's life hanging in the balance.
08:58I'm not going to spend any more time with you than I have to, but it's nice to hear that you're finally admitting that you're Matt Clark.
09:05It's taking you long enough.
09:06Yes.
09:08Because it's like you said, Nick.
09:10I have no one left to protect.
09:13I've lost everything.
09:15It's a story that has a familiar ring to it, don't you think?
09:18Me getting screwed by the Newmans.
09:20Still playing the victim.
09:21What a surprise.
09:22Still running around thinking that you can solve everybody's problems by throwing money at you.
09:26A million dollars can go a long way, Matt.
09:28Start a new life.
09:30Get a new club.
09:30Sell lattes.
09:31You can do whatever the hell you want, as long as it's nowhere near my family.
09:34Yeah, what about my family?
09:35What about my wife?
09:36What about the woman who promised me that she would love, honor, and obey?
09:39What is something like that worth?
09:41The same.
09:42And it's more than you deserve.
09:43Yeah, I don't think so.
09:44I think it's all relative.
09:45And inflation is a bitch.
09:47Honestly, I don't think a million dollars gets you as many lattes as you think it does.
09:51I'm thinking maybe two million, five million.
09:53What do you say?
09:54Ten million?
09:55What's it worth to you?
09:56Huh?
09:56How much is it worth to you to get your son's new girlfriend back and finally get rid of me?
10:01I can't believe that I'm getting this again.
10:14First Cain, then you, now Jack.
10:17If you want to work with us, it's simple.
10:19Tell us the truth.
10:21For the last time, I am not in cahoots with Victor Newman.
10:25Okay, here we go.
10:26I never have been.
10:28I have no idea how he got a hold of this doomsday AI machine.
10:33I don't know.
10:34We don't even know if he has it.
10:35Yeah, we do.
10:36He has it.
10:37Really?
10:37We know that for sure?
10:38Because he won't admit that, I'm sure.
10:40No, he's not going to admit it.
10:41We know he has it.
10:43We know he used it on Cain already.
10:44And I also know that you are the best in the business at hacking computers.
10:49Even if I didn't have the proof, Phyllis, every single breadcrumb leads directly to you.
10:53Wow.
10:55Do you know how insulting this is?
10:58What, do people suspect you of that?
10:59Phyllis, they're usually right.
11:00It's this idea that I'm a world-class hacker, and that's all I got in life.
11:07I have no other talents or qualities.
11:10Right, so you complain when people sell you short, and then you're offending when they
11:14tell you how brilliant you are.
11:14No, no, no.
11:15Because when they're complimenting me, it's usually in the context of me doing something
11:20wrong.
11:21That's what it is.
11:22I have a problem with that.
11:23I would love for people to acknowledge my talents.
11:26I would love for people to acknowledge how compassionate and how giving I am to my friends
11:34and my family, and what a good mom I am.
11:37I would love that, but they don't.
11:40Usually, if someone acknowledges my qualities, it's a slap in the face right after.
11:46Do you know how hurtful that is to me?
11:48Do you understand that at all?
11:49You're so annoying.
11:53You're so frustrating because you are all those things, but you keep hurting yourself.
11:59You keep cutting corners.
12:00You keep making deals with the devil, Phyllis.
12:02I get it because I've been there, okay?
12:04And I've been behind the ape all my entire life because of those choices.
12:07Look, let's be honest right now, okay?
12:08Victor cut you loose.
12:09We're about to do the same thing.
12:12If you don't want that to happen, tell us what we want to know.
12:18I guess I'm your prisoner.
12:19Noah, please don't say that.
12:22You know, I'm only trying to protect you.
12:25Mothers won't stop being mothers, no matter how grown up their babies are.
12:29I feel like I should be doing something.
12:32I have no idea where Sienna is or if she's even okay, and it's driving me crazy.
12:36Well, hopefully we will have some more answers when your father gets home.
12:39That's all we got right now.
12:41Hope that dad can get through to this bastard.
12:45I wouldn't underestimate him if I were you.
12:47When his family is under attack, your father puts everything on the line.
12:52He's a lot like Victor in this way.
12:54You know, this is personal for him, too.
12:57Matt Clark, he's been tormenting us on and off for years.
13:02He's still doing it, and your father won't let that stand.
13:04I know.
13:06I know, and I'm sorry I keep giving you a hard time.
13:09I love Sienna.
13:13I know you do.
13:14Yeah, you say that, but I'm not sure you know how deep this goes for me.
13:21Whatever you and dad had, I have that with Sienna.
13:25I would do anything for her in a heartbeat.
13:28I love her that much.
13:29Was it the same way you felt about Allie?
13:34Why are you bringing her up right now?
13:37You two used to be so close, and you've barely mentioned her since you've been back.
13:43What happened between you and Allie?
13:46Was it meeting Sienna, or was it something else?
13:50This is so typical of you, putting a price on someone's life.
13:55Really?
13:56Yeah, me?
13:56Are you joking?
13:57That is exactly what you and your rich daddy are doing.
14:00And frankly, I'm a little shocked.
14:01And you're shocked?
14:02Yeah, I am.
14:02I don't see why you still give a damn.
14:04Noah's home.
14:04He's safe and sound.
14:05What do you care?
14:06You should thank me, Nick.
14:09I could have taken Noah instead of Sienna.
14:11And then this would be a very different conversation.
14:13There'd be a whole bunch more zeros on your offer.
14:16So you know what?
14:17Consider this an early Christmas present from me to all of the Newmans.
14:21And don't worry, you don't need to get me anything.
14:23All I expect in return is a little bit of appreciation.
14:26I'm letting you live.
14:27That's the only appreciation you're going to get.
14:28I don't get it.
14:30Why do you care?
14:31Who is Sienna to you?
14:32You don't even know her.
14:33It doesn't matter.
14:34My son seems to care about her.
14:35Oh, right, because he's in love.
14:37Ah.
14:39Come on, bro.
14:40You and I were grown men, right?
14:42Do you really think that Noah is the first stray that Sienna's brought into her bed?
14:47I'm doing your lovesick puppy son a favor.
14:49I could put Noah down like...
14:52It's just a waste of time.
14:57You should be put down like a rabid dog.
14:59I'd be doing the world a favor by tossing your ass into this ravine.
15:02And you'd probably make it for a little bit.
15:04But let me tell you something.
15:05The animals around here, they get real hungry at night, Matt.
15:07Oh, yeah.
15:08But if you do that, then Sienna dies.
15:13For all I know, she's dead already.
15:16Oh, that's true, isn't it?
15:17Oh, you're right.
15:18I didn't even think of that.
15:19Yes.
15:20If I go over the rail and you're wrong, you'll never forgive yourself.
15:25Oh, this is great.
15:26Even better than that.
15:28Noah would never forgive you.
15:29Come on, let's do that.
15:30Go ahead.
15:30Hit me with your best shot.
15:31Let's just get this done.
15:33Or even better than that.
15:34You know what?
15:34I'll take myself over the rail.
15:36I'll go down the hill.
15:37And I'll make everybody think that you pushed me.
15:39Oh, I've so missed this.
15:42Look at us.
15:43It's just like old times.
15:56Suddenly quiet.
16:00Well, there's nothing to say.
16:01I mean, I can deny that I had anything to do with that AI program being in Victor's hands,
16:09but you're not going to believe me.
16:10You know, so why do that?
16:13I mean, I think I made my motivation for helping you both very, very clear.
16:17You're saying you want to help someone.
16:19Yes.
16:20Yes.
16:20That is my only reason for doing it.
16:22Well, Jack doesn't believe that's all that means.
16:24Okay, well, I don't care what Jack believes.
16:25It doesn't matter.
16:26It doesn't matter.
16:27It doesn't matter.
16:28I could tell him the truth forever and ever.
16:31And of course, he doesn't believe me.
16:32The only reason I want to get Marchetti away from Jabot is because I want my daughter to be out of the line of fire of this constant battle that goes on between the Newmans and the Abbotts.
16:43I am trying to protect my kid.
16:52If that were true, if that's all it is, then yeah, I think that's honorable.
16:58Believe it, Billy, my God.
16:59I've been through so much.
17:03I mean, it has been a really, really rocky road.
17:07And sometimes we have gone down that road together.
17:10True, true enough.
17:13I saw your face light up when you were talking about the Christmas gift from your kids.
17:18It was their way of saying, hey, Dad.
17:23We know you've been through a lot.
17:26And we know how hard you're trying to change.
17:30And we just want you to know that we're proud of you.
17:33And we support you, right?
17:35That's what they were saying, right?
17:36Yeah.
17:41Yeah.
17:48What I wouldn't give for Daniel and Summer to do the same thing for me.
17:55God, there's a million of IOUs that I have for Summer, a million, doing something like this.
18:08Couldn't even touch upon what I owe her.
18:13I think that's the most honest thing you've ever said to me, Phyllis.
18:16I think it is, too.
18:27Look, I believe you.
18:30All right.
18:35If it were up to me, I would go ahead with the plan.
18:39With you helping us.
18:43It's not up to me.
18:46You've got to convince Jack.
18:52Dr. Jack, Phyllis.
18:59See, I told you you didn't even like beer.
19:01Yes.
19:03And you've gotten very good at avoiding this conversation.
19:07That's because there's not a whole lot to say, Mom.
19:10Allie and I broke up.
19:11It happens.
19:11We move on.
19:12You seem pretty happy a few months ago.
19:17Yeah, things were already shaky between us.
19:19We just didn't want to worry you.
19:20You were going through enough without adding us to the list.
19:23And your relationship with Sienna had nothing to do with it?
19:27No.
19:28No.
19:28Allie and I just drifted apart.
19:30You know, she worked in Paris.
19:31I worked in London.
19:33The only time we'd ever even see each other is if she took the train on the weekend.
19:36So those were my busiest days.
19:37And so the breakup just happened.
19:41It was inevitable, really.
19:43I suppose it makes sense.
19:46Look, I care for Allie.
19:48And I wish her nothing but the best.
19:49But it just wasn't meant to be.
19:51I understand.
19:52No, I just wanted to know.
19:54That's all.
19:55Now you do.
19:56I'm still curious, though, on how it all happened between you and Sienna.
20:00I mean, did you meet her in London?
20:02No.
20:02Why are we doing this right now?
20:04Doing what?
20:04Asking me all these questions about Sienna when you know all I care about is getting her back alive and safe.
20:09No.
20:10No, Mom.
20:10No.
20:11She wasn't a homewrecker, if that's where you're getting that.
20:13She's a beautiful person whose life is in danger right now because of me.
20:16And nothing else matters but that.
20:18Okay?
20:18Nothing.
20:22That is a big fall.
20:23Here's what's going to happen.
20:24I'm going to take the fall.
20:26And then, yeah, you're going to take the fall for me taking the fall.
20:28Talk about poetic justice.
20:30And, yeah, I'll be dead.
20:31But I'll die knowing that you're going to spend the rest of your life rotting in prison.
20:35Do it.
20:40Jump.
20:41I'll take my chances with the police.
20:44You want to know what's going to happen?
20:45I'll walk.
20:46Just like I did last time.
20:48I'll beat the charges when you tried to set me up for your murder.
20:52What are you waiting for?
20:53Do it.
20:56Do you need help, Matt?
20:57Just ask.
20:58I'll help you.
21:04That's right.
21:06You're the one who's all talk.
21:08See, you're about survival.
21:09You're a damn cockroach.
21:11So take the deal, you son of a bitch, and then you can crawl away and hide under any rock you want.
21:15Take the million and give me Sienna.
21:18Hi, sweetheart.
21:24I just wanted to let you know where things stand on our end.
21:27Kyle is on a video call right now with our suppliers.
21:30Depending on how things go, hopefully we'll buy a week or two before they start thinking about jumping ship.
21:35Anyway, I think we need to plan some kind of meeting to strategize a next move.
21:40Have you heard from Michael Baldwin?
21:43I still haven't gotten a call from Nikki, but I think it's going to be harder for her to talk with Victor sniffing around.
21:48But she's going to want to help if she can.
21:50More than that, I want to tell you, I love you, and we're going to win this.
21:55What are you doing?
22:08Hey, Jack, happy holidays.
22:11Listen, I'm going to give you a belated Christmas gift.
22:16I'm going to give you your company back.
22:25So how was your holiday?
22:27It's beautiful, so festive.
22:29Diane did a great job with the renos.
22:31We were preoccupied with work, as you can well imagine, but we managed a little quiet time as a family.
22:38Yeah.
22:39So how was Harrison?
22:41I mean, I know that summer sent over a plane load of gifts.
22:44Harrison still revels in Christmas morning, and his joy is infectious.
22:49I bet.
22:50It would have been nice to see.
22:51Hey, there's not a lot of ho-ho-ho going on in Genoa City now.
22:55Phyllis, could we get to why you are here?
22:59I assume you spoke with Billy.
23:01Yes, just now.
23:02And he told you that our offer to acquire your services is off the table at the moment.
23:08I just...
23:10I think you should put it back on the table.
23:12No, I think I know what's best for me and my company, but here.
23:17Your company is tanking, Jack.
23:19And everybody's talking about it.
23:21I don't know why you insist on being so stubborn.
23:24We are going in a different direction.
23:26Okay, well, what direction? Do you mind if I ask?
23:27Away from you.
23:29Thank you for your holiday, Sherrod.
23:31Let me walk you to the door.
23:32No, I...
23:33I...
23:34No.
23:36There's something more?
23:37Plenty.
23:39Phyllis, I'm not going to change my mind.
23:40I just...
23:42I want to know what changed from the time that you were offering me a small fortune to now.
23:51I think I told you.
23:53But giving Marchetti to Summer, it wouldn't even cost you anything.
23:56I...
23:56It wouldn't...
23:57And it would...
23:58It would keep my daughter out of the line of fire in this continuous war that you and Victor insist on having.
24:07No, no, no.
24:07That Victor...
24:08Okay, yes.
24:09And Victor insists...
24:10I know.
24:11I know.
24:11She started it.
24:12It is the truth.
24:13It is the truth.
24:13Yes.
24:16Just...
24:16You know that I'm the only one who can successfully get that AI program back from Victor.
24:22I have to admit, I was pleased to see that your demand wasn't totally self-serving.
24:32Thanks.
24:32Well, we do have other options, and, uh...
24:35I think you're a bit too...
24:38What's the word I'm looking for?
24:39A wild card, right?
24:41Well, I was going to say a loose cannon, but you get the drift.
24:45You're making a mistake, Jack.
24:47I don't think so.
24:49Okay, well, what do you have planned?
24:51Well, that's my business.
24:53Oh, what?
24:53Really?
24:54You're not even going to tell me that.
24:55You're not even going to tell me why you are dumping me.
25:00What for and for whom?
25:05Look, I know.
25:06I know you're concerned about Sienna, and I didn't mean to pry about you and Allie.
25:11It's none of my business.
25:13It's okay.
25:14It's okay.
25:14I'm just going a little crazy here.
25:16And now I'm worried about Dad, too.
25:19What do you mean?
25:20Why haven't we heard from him yet?
25:21It hasn't been that long.
25:23It's been long enough.
25:24And everyone keeps talking about what a psycho Matt Clark is.
25:26I mean, would he really try to hurt Dad out of spite?
25:30Under other circumstances, I would be worrying right along with you.
25:33But right now, no.
25:35Why?
25:36Why not?
25:36Because Matt is desperate.
25:39He has lost everything, thanks to Victor.
25:42And right now, your father is offering him a financial lifeline in exchange for Sienna's safe return.
25:48He'd be a fool not to take it.
25:50Yeah, but he also doesn't always do what people expect of him.
25:53I mean, I learned that myself the hard way.
25:54True, but one thing you don't know about Matt, he is a classic narcissist.
26:02Matt only cares about Matt.
26:05And when it's his skin that's at stake, that's his only priority.
26:09Be smart for once in your miserable life.
26:15Take the deal, and then you and I never have to see each other after today.
26:18I get the money, no strings attached.
26:23Simple as that.
26:24Why should I trust you?
26:26Follow-up question, why in the hell would you trust me?
26:29I guess we're just going to have to take a leap of faith.
26:33Unless, of course, you wanted to take together...
26:35No, no, no, no, I wasn't really ever serious about that.
26:37It's just...
26:39I'll take your money.
26:41And I'll take your daddy's money.
26:43And I'll live to fight another day.
26:44No, no.
26:46No.
26:46There won't be any more fights, Matt.
26:49Because if there is, it'll be the last one you ever have.
26:54When I'm safely out of the country, I'll give you a number.
26:56It's an offshore account.
26:57You put the money there, and then I'll let you know where Sienna is.
27:00If you come after anyone else in my family ever again,
27:03I will hunt you down to the ends of the earth,
27:06and this will be over.
27:07I promise you that.
27:08No.
27:09No, Nick.
27:10You don't always get your way.
27:12You do this my way.
27:14Or not at all.
27:16I'll call you.
27:18I'm sorry, Phyllis.
27:36Wait a second.
27:37You won't tell me who it is?
27:38I'm not going to tell you anything.
27:39I thought that much would be clear by now.
27:41Don't you want Summer to have Marchetti?
27:43Don't you believe in him?
27:44Summer brought Marchetti to Jebeau.
27:46She's done a brilliant job there.
27:48So brilliant?
27:49You want to keep it for yourself?
27:51I don't get it.
27:53I mean, are you willing to risk Jebeau because of this point?
28:00What is that?
28:01Is this Diane?
28:02Does Diane want to keep it for herself?
28:03That is not what this is about.
28:05I would be thrilled if one day Summer owned Marchetti.
28:08She deserves it.
28:09She does.
28:10She deserves it.
28:11I know.
28:11So what is it?
28:12And you know what?
28:13By the way, I'm offended.
28:15I'm offended that you have Billy do your dirty work and tell me that I've been backward.
28:22You are clearly frustrated.
28:24You are not taking no for an answer.
28:26No, I'm not.
28:27You know, Jack, that I am the only one who can successfully hack into Victor Newman's system.
28:38Yes, just as easily as you hacked into canes.
28:42I never admitted to that.
28:46I didn't do that.
28:46Well, you don't have to admit to it.
28:48Everybody thinks that.
28:49Why even deny it?
28:50Well, my skills speak for themselves, obviously.
28:52Yes, there is none better.
28:55Unfortunately, my new option doesn't include hacking.
29:02What do you mean?
29:02I just said it.
29:04Your skills are no longer required.
29:08So you have someone on the inside, someone close to Victor.
29:10I got it.
29:11Okay, who is it?
29:12Who is it?
29:13Everybody.
29:14Nobody.
29:15I am not going to share my plans for saving Jabot with someone like you.
29:21A loose cannon, right?
29:24Untrustworthy loose cannon.
29:25I would add a few more words, but your time is up.
29:27No, I have all afternoon.
29:28We are done here, Phyllis.
29:31Happy New Year.
29:34We are done here.
29:37Happy New Year to you, Jack.
29:38How much money did the dad offer Matt anyway?
30:03A lot.
30:05If it's just a trap, right?
30:06We're not actually letting this guy walk away, Harvey.
30:08No, of course not.
30:10But we have to let Matt think that we are.
30:12I don't know.
30:15I mean, maybe he'll just think of a way to take the money and run.
30:18And if he did do that, I would pay you back every cent, okay?
30:21I don't care.
30:22As long as he is safe, I don't care what it costs or what he does.
30:25He waited decades.
30:29He was out of our lives.
30:30He was out of everyone's life.
30:32He had a new identity.
30:34No one was looking for him.
30:36And still, he decided to come after us anyway, through you.
30:40If we let him go again, I guarantee you that he would bide his time until he saw a chance
30:47to come and try to destroy us again.
30:49Maybe it would be a year, maybe five, however long it took.
30:53I think he lives for it.
30:56And your father would never allow that.
30:59This time, he needs to pay.
31:00Noah, he finally needs to pay for all of the years that he tormented us.
31:05Jack, how'd it go?
31:08Did Matt take the bait?
31:09Is he an okay?
31:35I just saw Phyllis peel out of here.
31:36Yeah, she was here.
31:38Figured you would be her next stop.
31:40What'd you say to her?
31:41I told her we were looking at other options, and you?
31:44I told her the same, although I made it sound like you are the one looking for other options.
31:49Gee, thanks, buddy.
31:50Hey, good cop, bad cop.
31:53I do have a slight tinge of guilt.
31:57I mean, I was begging her to help us.
31:59Yes, I did send you on that errand.
32:01I still think she's our best option, Jack.
32:05Boy, she must have really done a number on you this morning.
32:07Look, if she can get the AI program, you know that.
32:10Yes, and do a lot of damage with it, as we discussed.
32:12Okay, but let's just pretend for a second that she's on the level,
32:15and this is about supporting Summer and getting what she thinks she deserves.
32:19I trust that.
32:20Call me crazy, but I trust that more than Michael and Nikki betraying Victor.
32:25I guess we'll have to see then, won't we?
32:27It sounds like a challenge.
32:31Why don't we implement all three plans and see which one wins?
32:35Hey, Michael, it's me.
32:45Um, I hope you and Lauren had a great holiday.
32:50Um, I, there's something that I would like to run by you.
32:53When can you meet?
32:54I already told Phyllis it's a no.
32:59You know that's only gonna make her more determined to turn it into a yes,
33:03it's Phyllis, she's a terrier.
33:04More like a pit bull.
33:05Now, when did you get back on the Phyllis train?
33:07Honestly, I never got off.
33:09I don't really trust this plan with Nikki, okay?
33:12And, look, I think it's insane, but I trust Phyllis right now.
33:17I think she's trying to do right by Summer,
33:19and nobody has any objections giving Marchetti to Summer, not even you.
33:24If Phyllis gets us that AI program, our troubles, they're over.
33:27And when we get it, we destroy it, right?
33:31Yeah, we destroy it. I already told you. That's what we do.
33:34What does that mean, uh-huh?
33:36I just have a feeling, a familiar feeling.
33:39Oh, yeah? What's that feeling, Jack?
33:42About you.
33:43And what that complicated brain is thinking right now.
33:49I wish I had more information about Sienna,
33:51but today was just about putting things into motion.
33:54But you did see Matt? You spoke to him?
33:57I did. And for what it's worth, he said that Sienna's still alive.
34:00Oh, thank God. Okay.
34:01Did he take the bait?
34:03I think he's gonna take the money.
34:04But he did say that he won't tell us where Sienna is
34:07until he's got the payoff and is safely out of the country.
34:10No, no, no, no, no. He'll never tell us where she is then.
34:12Calm down.
34:13No, I can't. Just calm down.
34:15The woman I love is with some madman who's done God knows what to her,
34:18and we can't just let him leave.
34:18I know that, and we won't. I promise you.
34:21But we have to let this play out.
34:22I just want Sienna to be okay.
34:24All right? Just please, just please let her be okay.
34:26I just want Sienna to be okay.
34:56What I've decided is if after the exchange,
35:00I'm gonna give Sienna back or not.
35:05That might get tricky.
35:07Uh-huh. And it's not the only thing I'm considering.
35:11The million-dollar question, Annie.
35:15Do I let Noah Newman live or not?
35:19Is there anything else?
35:32No, you're not.
35:36Very much.
36:06Join us again for the young and the restless.
