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