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