00:00No, I'm looking at the gift that my beautiful kids,
00:08Johnny 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.
00:25It was their way of telling their dad
00:26to slow down a little bit to not rush everywhere he goes.
00:32Aw, that'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?
00:43We'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
00:50would have a lot of time to stop and smell the roses,
00:53considering your company is 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, OK.
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?
01:10That'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?
01:35I could use a little break.
01:37Do you want to go for a walk with me?
01:39No, no, thanks.
01:41Well, it might do you some good,
01:43take your mind off everything for at least a little while.
01:46No, Sienna is missing.
01:47OK, I don't know if she's alive or dead right now.
01:49And I should have gone with that.
01:51I should have gone instead of Dad.
01:53We all agreed that it would be best for your father
01:57to be the one to deal with Matt.
01:58No, no.
01:59He 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, no one else's.
02:08OK.
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.
02:20See, that is exactly why you needed to stay home.
02:24Matt is a master manipulator, not to mention a sadist who enjoys
02:29inflicting 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.
02:45You wouldn't 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.
03:00Where'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?
03:19Hope you followed all my directions, Nick.
03:49Hope there won't be any police or any of your father's goons to come ruin the party because
03:56if that happens, then Sienna's dead.
04:00It's just me.
04:01Great.
04:03And you're still the same sick bastard you've always been.
04:06It's hurtful.
04:07Now I'm wounded.
04:08You shouldn't even be here.
04:09I know.
04:09It 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.
04:16Now'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?
04:51I mean, you were talking about generational wealth and all of that.
04:55Now, well, I'm on the back burner.
04:56This is a huge mistake, Billy.
05:01You know, it is, you know, I'm the best there is.
05:03Yeah, I can argue that, but, uh, that's, that's not the issue.
05:07What's the issue?
05:10Look, it's Jack's decision.
05:11Okay.
05:11He decides what happens with Jabot and he wants to look at other options.
05:16Does he?
05:19Okay.
05:20Well, 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.
05:38Why?
05:39Because he doesn't trust you.
05:42Because nobody trusts you.
05:43He thinks you're going to take that program and 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 many, many times, so it's hard to trust what you say.
06:00That 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?
06:09You want to tell us the truth?
06:11Then maybe Jack will change his mind.
06:16Come clean about what?
06:17I 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, that's how this conversation, all of it, is over.
06:33Here.
06:38What is this for?
06:40Take the edge off.
06:42You don't even like beer.
06:44Come sit with me and relax.
06:48No, I can't relax, Mom.
06:50Okay, well, just sit with me then.
06:52Look, 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,
07:05so how come we haven't found her yet?
07:06Between the police and Victor's security, they are knocking on every single door.
07:10That takes time, Noah.
07:11Yeah, and Sienna may run out of that.
07:14She's probably out there so cold.
07:15I mean, she hates the cold, and she's probably out there freezing somewhere.
07:18No, no, don't go there.
07:20Oh, what if she is?
07:22I 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.
07:27You 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.
08:07You know, what your old man did was illegal.
08:09Seriously?
08:10Yeah, seriously, Nick.
08:11In almost every corner of the world, you hack into somebody's bank account,
08:13you steal all their money.
08:14That's a crime.
08:16So is drug trafficking, kidnapping, attempted murder,
08:19and 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.
08:27A million dollars.
08:30That is a nice round sum, and then you're gone, you disappear, you do not show your face around
08:38here again, or the police are the last thing you're going to worry about.
08:41I'll listen to you, all your empty threats, all talk, no action, just like always.
08:44I'll see about that.
08:47I know you're dying to hear about how I fake my own death, and humblebrag, it was awesome,
08:51but I don't know if now's really the time for that. I mean, if you'd like, I would think that
08:55you'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
09:03you're finally admitting that you're Matt Clark. It's taking you long enough.
09:06Yes, because it's like you said, Nick, I have no one left to protect.
09:13I've lost everything. It's a story that has a familiar ring to it, don't you think?
09:18Me getting screwed by the Newmans.
09:19I'm still playing the victim. What a surprise.
09:22Still running around thinking that you can solve everybody's problems by throwing money at me.
09:25A million dollars can go a long way, Matt. Start a new life, get a new club, sell 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? What about my wife? What about the woman who promised me
09:38that she would love, honor, and obey? What is something like that worth?
09:41The same, and it's more than you deserve.
09:43Yeah, I don't think so. I think it's all relative, and inflation is a bitch. Honestly,
09:47I 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. What do you say, ten million?
09:55What's it worth to you, huh? How much is it worth to you
09:58to 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.
10:17You want to work with us? It's simple. Tell us the truth.
10:20For the last time, I am not in cahoots with Victor Newman.
10:25Okay, here we go. I never have been.
10:27I have no idea how he got a hold of this doomsday AI machine. I don't know.
10:34We don't even know if he has it. Yeah, we do. He has it.
10:36Really? We know that for sure? Because he won't admit that, I'm sure.
10:39No, he's not going to admit it. We know he has it.
10:43We know he used it on Cain already, and I also know that you are the best
10:46in the business and hacking computers. Even if I didn't have the proof, Phyllis,
10:51every single breadcrumb leads directly to you.
10:53Wow. Do you know how insulting this is?
10:58What, do people suspect you of that? Phyllis, they're usually right.
11:01It'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 tell you
11:14No, no, no, because when they're complimenting me, it's usually in the context of me doing something
11:20wrong. That's what it is. I have a problem with that. I would love for people to acknowledge my
11:26talents. I 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. I would love that, but they don't.
11:40Usually, if someone acknowledges my qualities, it's a slap in the face right after. Do you
11:46know how hurtful that is to me? Do you understand that at all?
11:49You're so annoying. You're so frustrating because you are all those things, but you keep
11:58you keep hurting yourself. You keep cutting corners. You keep making deals with the devil,
12:01Phyllis. I get it because I've been there, okay, and I've been behind the ape all my entire life
12:05because of those choices. Look, let's be honest right now, okay? Victor cut you loose. We're about
12:09to do the same thing. If you don't want that to happen, tell us what we want to know.
12:14I guess I'm your prisoner. No. Noah, please don't say that. You know,
12:22I'm only trying to protect you. Mothers won't stop being mothers, no matter how grown up their babies
12:29are. I just feel like I should be doing something. I have no idea where Sienna is or if she's even okay,
12:34and it's driving me crazy. Well, hopefully we will have some more answers when your father gets home.
12:39That's all we got right now. Hope that dad can get through this bastard.
12:45I wouldn't underestimate him if I were you. When his family is under attack, your father puts
12:51everything on the line. He's a lot like Victor in this way. You know, this is personal for him too.
12:57Matt Clark, he's been tormenting us on and off for years. He's still doing it and your father won't
13:03let that stand. I know. I know. And I'm sorry I keep giving you a hard time. I love Sienna.
13:13I know you do. Yeah, 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. I would do anything for her in a heartbeat. I love
13:28her that much. Was it the same way you felt about Allie? Why are you bringing her up right now?
13:37We just, you two used to be so close and you've barely mentioned her since you've been back.
13:43What happened between you and Allie? Was it meeting Sienna or was it something else?
13:50It's so typical of you, putting a price on someone's life. Really? Yeah, me? Are you joking?
13:57That is exactly what you and your rich daddy are doing. And frankly, I'm a little shocked.
14:01And you're shocked? Yeah, I am. I don't see why you still give a damn. Noah's home. He's safe and
14:05sound. What do you care? You should thank me, Nick. I could have taken Noah instead of Sienna.
14:11And then this would be a very different conversation. There'd be a whole bunch more zeros on your offer.
14:16So you know what? Consider this an early Christmas present from me to all of the Newmans. And don't
14:21worry, you don't need to get me anything. All I expect in return is a little bit of appreciation.
14:25I'm letting you live. That's the only appreciation you're going to get.
14:28I don't get it. Why do you care? Who is Sienna to you? You don't even know her.
14:33It doesn't matter. My son seems to care about her.
14:35All right, because he's in love. Ah, come on, bro. You and I were grown men, right? Do you really
14:42think that Noah is the first stray that Sienna's brought into her bed? I'm doing your lovesick
14:48puppy son a favor. I could put Noah down like...
14:55You know, it's just a waste of time. You should be put down like a rabid dog.
14:59I'd be doing the world a favor by tossing your ass into this ravine. And you'd probably make it for a
15:03little bit. But let me tell you something. The animals around here, they get real hungry at night,
15:07Matt. Oh, yeah. But if you do that, then Sienna dies. For all I know, she's dead already.
15:15Oh, that's true, isn't it? Oh, you're right. I didn't even think of that. Yes. If I go over the
15:21rail and you're wrong, you'll never forgive yourself. Oh, this is great. Even better than that.
15:28Noah would never forgive you. Come on. Let's do that. Go ahead. Hit me with your best shot. Let's just get
15:31this done. Or even better than that. You know what? I'll take myself over the rail. I'll go
15:36down the hill. And I'll make everybody think that you pushed me. Oh, I've so missed this.
15:42Look at us. It's just like old times.
15:56Suddenly quiet.
15:57Well, there's nothing to say. I mean, I can deny that I had anything to do with that
16:07AI program being in Victor's hands, but you're not going to believe me.
16:10You know, so why do that? I mean, I think I made my motivation for helping Chabot very,
16:16very clear. And you're saying you want to help someone?
16:19Yes. Yes. That is my only reason for doing it.
16:22Well, Jack doesn't believe that's all it is.
16:23Okay. Well, I don't care what Jack believes. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. It doesn't
16:27matter. I could tell him the truth forever and ever. And of course, he doesn't believe me.
16:32The only reason I want to get Marchetti away from Chabot is because I want my daughter
16:37to be out of the line of fire of this constant battle that goes on between the Newmans and the Abbots.
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, I've been through so much.
17:03I mean, it has been a really, really rocky road. And sometimes we have gone down that road together.
17:10True. True enough.
17:14I 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, we know you've been through a lot.
17:26And we know how hard you're trying to change. And we just want you to know that we're proud of you.
17:33And we support you, right? That's what they were saying, right?
17:39Yeah.
17:41Yeah.
17:42What I wouldn't give for Daniel and Summer to do the same thing for me.
17:58God, there's a million IOUs that I have for Summer. A million.
18:04Doing something like this couldn't even touch upon what I owe her.
18:13I think that's the most honest thing you 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.
18:43You'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. It happens. We move on.
19:14You seemed 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. No.
19:28Allie and I just drifted apart.
19:30You know, she worked in Paris. I worked in London.
19:33The only time we'd ever even see each other is if she took the train on the weekend.
19:35So those are my busiest days.
19:37So the breakup just happened.
19:41It was inevitable, really.
19:42I suppose it makes sense.
19:46Look, I care for Allie.
19:47And I wish her nothing but the best.
19:49But it just wasn't meant to be.
19:51I understand, Noah.
19:52I just wanted to know, that's all.
19:55Now you do.
19:55I'm still curious, though, on how it all happened between you and Sienna.
20:00I mean, did you meet her in London?
20:02No, why are we doing this right now?
20:03Doing what?
20:04Asking me all these questions about Sienna when you know all I care about is getting her
20:07back alive and safe.
20:08No, no, Mom.
20:10No, she wasn't a homewrecker, if that's where you're getting that.
20:12She's a beautiful person whose life is in danger right now because of me.
20:16And nothing else matters but that, okay?
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.
20:47I'll beat the charges when you tried to set me up for your murder.
20:52What are you waiting for?
20:54Do it.
20:56Do you need help, Matt?
20:57Just ask.
20:58I'll help you.
21:00That's right.
21:06You're the one who's all talk.
21:07See, you're about survival.
21:09You're a damn cockroach.
21:11So take the deal, you son of a bitch.
21:13And then you can crawl away and hide under any rock you want.
21:16Take the million and give me Sienna.
21:23Hi, 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.
21:36Anyway, 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, but she's going to want to help if she can.
21:49And more than that, I want to tell you, I love you and we're going to win this.
21:55What are you doing?
22:07What are you doing?
22:08Hey, Jack, happy holidays.
22:10Listen, um, I'm going to give you a belated Christmas gift.
22:14I'm going to give you your company back.
22:18So 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.
22:37Yeah, so how was Harrison? I mean, I know that Summer sent over a plane load of gifts and-
22:44Harrison still revels in Christmas morning and his joy is infectious.
22:48I bet. It would have been nice to see. 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? I assume you spoke with Billy.
23:00Yes, just now.
23:01And he told you that our offer to acquire your services is off the table at the moment.
23:07Yeah.
23:08I just, I, I think you should put it back on the table.
23:12No, I think I know what's best for me and my company, but, uh, here.
23:17Your company is tanking, Jack. 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. Thank you for your holiday cheer. Let me walk you to the door.
23:32No, I, I, no.
23:34There's something more?
23:36Plenty.
23:37Phyllis, I'm not going to change my mind.
23:40I, I just, I want to know what changed from the time that you were offering me a small fortune
23:49to now.
23:50I think I told you.
23:52But giving Marchetti to Summer, it wouldn't even cost you anything.
23:56I, it wouldn't, and it would, it would keep my daughter out of the line of fire in this
24:03continuous war that you and Victor insist on having.
24:07No, no, no, no. That Victor insist.
24:08Okay, yes. And Victor insists. I know, I know.
24:11It is the truth.
24:11She started it. It is the truth. Yes.
24:17You 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, I think you're a bit too, uh, what'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.
24:46You're making a mistake, Jack.
24:47I don't think so.
24:48Okay, well, what do you have planned?
24:51Well, that's my business.
24:53Oh, really? You'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. I 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. It's okay. I'm just, I'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.
25:22It's been long enough, and 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, but right now, no.
25:35Why? Why not?
25:37Because Matt is desperate. He has lost everything, thanks to Victor. And right now, your father is offering him a financial lifeline in exchange for Sienna's safe return. He'd be a fool not to take it.
25:50Yeah, but he also doesn't always do what people expect of him. I mean, I learned that myself the hard way.
25:55True, but one thing you don't know about Matt, he is a classic narcissist.
26:02Matt only cares about Matt. And when it's his skin that's at stake, that's his only priority.
26:09Be smart. For once in your miserable life. Take the deal, and then you and I never have to see each other after today.
26:21I get the money. No strings attached.
26:23Simple as that.
26:24Why should I trust you? Follow-up question. Why in the hell would you trust me?
26:29I guess we're just gonna have to take a leap of faith. Unless, of course, you wanted to take the other one.
26:35No, no, no, no. I wasn't really ever serious about that. I'm just...
26:39Yeah, I'll take your money. And I'll take your daddy's money. And I'll live to fight another day.
26:44No, no. No. There won't be any more fights, Matt. Because 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. It's an offshore account. You 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, I will hunt you down to the ends of the earth, and this will be over. I promise you that.
27:08No. No, Nick. You don't always get your way. You do this my way. Or not at all.
27:17I'll call you.
27:18I'm sorry, Phyllis.
27:36Wait a second. You won't tell me who it is?
27:38I'm not gonna tell you anything. I thought that much would be clear by now.
27:41Don't you want Summer to have Marchetti? Don't you believe in her?
27:44Summer brought Marchetti to Jebeau. She's done a brilliant job there.
27:48So brilliant? You want to keep it for yourself? I don't get it. I mean, are you willing to risk Jebeau because of this point?
28:00Wait a second. Is this Diane? Does Diane want to keep it for herself?
28:03No, no. That is not what this is about. I would be thrilled if one day Summer owned Marchetti. She deserves it.
28:09She does. She deserves it. I know. So what is it? And you know what? By the way, I'm offended. I'm offended that you have Billy do your dirty work and tell me that I've been backward.
28:22You are clearly frustrated. You are not taking no for an answer.
28:26No, I'm not. You 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.
28:44I never admitted to that. I didn't do that.
28:46Well, you don't have to admit to it. Everybody thinks that. Why even deny it?
28:50Well, my skills speak for themselves.
28:52Yeah, yes. There is none better. Unfortunately, my new option doesn't include hacking.
29:02What do you mean? I just said it. Your skills are no longer required.
29:08So you have someone on the inside, someone close to Victor. I got it. Okay, who is it? Who is it?
29:13Everybody. Nobody. I am not going to share my plans for saving Jebeau with someone like you.
29:20A loose cannon, right?
29:23Untrustworthy loose cannon. I would add a few more words, but your time is up.
29:27No, I have all afternoon. We are done here, Phyllis. Happy New Year.
29:34We are done here. Happy New Year to you, Jack.
29:50How much money did Dad offer Matt anyway?
30:04A lot.
30:05Yeah, but it's just a trap, right? We're not actually letting this guy walk away, Harvey.
30:08No, of course not. But we have to let Matt think that we are.
30:12I don't know. I mean, maybe he'll just think of a way to take the money and run. And if he did do that, I would pay you back every cent, okay? I don't care. As long as he is safe, I don't care what it costs or what he does.
30:24He waited decades. He was out of our lives. He was out of everyone's life. He had a new identity. No one was looking for him. And 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 to come and try to destroy us again. Maybe it would be a year, maybe five, however long it took.
30:52I think he lives for him. I think he lives for it. And your father would never allow that. This time, he needs to pay, Noah. He finally needs to pay for all of the years that he tormented us.
31:06Dad. Dad, how'd it go? Did Matt take the bait? Is he an okay?
31:10Okay.
31:22I just saw Phyllis peel out of here.
31:36Yeah, she was here.
31:38Figured you would be her next stop. What'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. I do have a slight tinge of guilt. I 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, and this is about supporting Summer and getting what she thinks she deserves. I trust that.
32:20Call me crazy, but I trust that more than Michael and Nicky betraying Victor.
32:25I guess we'll have to see then, won't we?
32:28It sounds like a challenge.
32:29Why 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.
32:49Um, 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 going to make her more determined to turn it into a yes, it's Phyllis.
33:03She'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 Nicky, 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, and nobody has any objections giving Marchetti to Summer.
33:22Not 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.
33:32I already told you.
33:33That's what we do.
33:34Huh?
33:35What does that mean?
33:35Uh-huh.
33:36I just have a feeling, a familiar feeling.
33:39Oh, yeah?
33:40What's that feeling, Jack?
33:42About you.
33:44And 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?
33:56You spoke to him?
33:57I did.
33:57And for what it's worth, he said that Sienna's still alive.
34:00Oh, thank God.
34:01Okay.
34:01Did he take the bait?
34:03I think he's going to 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.
34:11He'll never tell us where she is then.
34:12Calm down.
34:13No, I can't.
34:13Just calm down.
34:15The woman I love is with some madman who's done God knows what to her,
34:17and we can't just let him leave.
34:18I know that, and we won't.
34:20I 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.
34:26Okay.
34:36So how'd it go?
34:38Did you see Newman?
34:40Yeah, we had a nice little chat.
34:42Went about as I expected.
34:45He offered you money?
34:47Yeah.
34:48Negotiated a nice little chunk of change.
34:50Well, you definitely need cash after Victor wiped you out.
34:53Yeah, yeah.
34:54I am going to take the payoff.
34:55But what I haven't decided is if after the exchange, I'm going to give Sienna back or not.
35:05That might get tricky.
35:07Uh-huh.
35:08And it's not the only thing I'm considering.
35:11It's a million-dollar question, Annie.
35:15Do I let Noah Newman live or not?
35:25Do I letこれ if we're not going to do it?
36:21Join us again for the young and the restless.
