01:57Last time I sat in that chair I was stabbed in the back
02:00By someone near and dear to me
02:04Someone who claimed to love me
02:08That's not gonna happen again
02:21Chancellor Industries
02:23You are mine
02:27And mine alone
02:44It's like you're back where you belong
02:47Hi
02:50What are you doing here?
02:52Would you like me to leave?
02:54No
02:55No, of course not
02:58It's really nice to see you
03:02So does this mean you better change your heart?
03:28So does this mean you better change your heart?
03:42Seeing you better change your heart?
03:43Seeing you back behind the counter almost makes life seem normal again
03:46You know, I felt the same way myself
03:49After the whirlwind of the past two months
03:54Peppermint hot chocolate, right?
03:56Wow, I can't believe you actually remember that with everything you've been through lately
04:00We have all really been through it lately, haven't we?
04:05Unfortunately, it's not over yet
04:08How are things where the takeover is concerned?
04:11We're still holding out hope that we can reverse this mess
04:15Actually, that's why I stopped by
04:16I thought I might run into Nick
04:18I called him last night, but he hasn't returned my call
04:21My brother's been a little preoccupied lately
04:25I heard that Matt Clark has been released
04:27I hope that Nick is not out trying to track that monster down
04:31Honestly, we wouldn't know where to find him
04:34The only contact we have had with Matt is a series of threatening texts he sent to Noah
04:40What?
04:41Is he back in Genoa City?
04:42We have no idea
04:43For all we know
04:44He could be in LA playing mind games trying to make us think that he's here
04:48I'm so sorry
04:49This is so upsetting
04:51Knowing that that madman is out on the streets
04:55Well, Nick said it last night and he was right
04:57This is the last thing that any of us needs right now
05:01I don't suppose that Nick has mentioned that I asked him to fly to Milan with me
05:04To enlist somewhere to help us in this war with Phyllis
05:07Yes, he mentioned it
05:10Well, I don't think I'm going to be able to tear him away now
05:13With this new turn of events
05:15Nick is devastated with what happened at Newman
05:19But he is very single-minded when it comes to finding Matt
05:24And stopping him from torturing his family
05:26As he should be
05:27That man has caused his family a lot of damage
05:30Nick hasn't even fully recovered from the injury that Matt caused during his last reign of terror
05:45So
05:46You can actually throw up our родer
06:20Продолжение следует...
06:36I hired Audra to work for me.
06:40But this time, as my co-CEO.
06:43Spend me your objections, look on your face, speaks volumes.
06:46Will you allow me to play devil's advocate?
06:49No, I don't care what you think.
06:50And I've already cleared Audra's hiring with Jill.
06:53Did she improve this time?
06:54She did, yeah.
06:55She said that she fully supports my decision.
07:00Well, I know you're going to do amazing things at Abba Communications,
07:03no matter who you hire to work for you.
07:06I agree.
07:07And I believe that Audra will be instrumental in making the company a success.
07:14I think you're right.
07:16I also want you to know that it is no longer called Abba Communications.
07:22When did that happen?
07:24When I changed the name to Spectre Charles.
07:28I also want to thank you for securing Newman Media for us.
07:32That acquisition will be very helpful in getting Spectre Charles off the ground and running.
07:38It's an interesting way to thank me.
07:41Changing the name, it's a little shocking to hear that Abba Communications will not be the title of the company.
07:46Well, it's not my last name.
07:48You're no longer with the company, so it's no longer an Abba entity.
07:52Well, that's not 100% true of me.
07:54My mother is still a sole investor.
07:56Okay.
07:56Well, I mean, if you want to take it up with Jill, feel free.
07:59I don't.
07:59I get it.
08:02I'm not going to argue the inevitable.
08:04Thank you.
08:07Well, that's all.
08:09Sally.
08:15Look, it's my fault.
08:17Okay, it's my fault our professional relationship is over.
08:21But it doesn't mean that our personal relationship has to follow suit.
08:25I miss you.
08:28I do, and I don't understand why a professional disagreement has to ruin a damn near-perfect relationship.
08:41You have dinner with me?
08:44I really don't think this is good.
08:46Please, just dinner.
08:48Just give me one chance to try and convince you not to give up on us.
08:54I'm waiting.
08:57For what?
08:58The punchline.
08:59The declaration of your support.
09:02This is no joke.
09:04I'm here to congratulate you.
09:06You have achieved the impossible.
09:09You knocked Victor Newman off of his throne, and in doing so, became one of the most powerful
09:16women in the world.
09:18This is an immense victory, and right or wrong, you should be commended for the sheer audacity
09:26of pulling this thing off.
09:29Do you mean that?
09:30Yes, I absolutely do.
09:34Yes, I absolutely do.
09:35Okay.
09:37Well, you might be the only one.
09:40I mean, no one else has noticed that.
09:43Look, I'm trying not to take sides.
09:47I'm going to try and stay neutral.
09:49Okay, well, I'll take neutral.
09:51I will.
09:52Over outrage.
09:55I hear Daniel isn't very happy with you.
09:58Yeah, he is not speaking to me at the moment.
10:01Does that mean summer too?
10:03Hmm, summer too.
10:05Yeah.
10:05I think they think their silent treatment will make me realize that, uh, my decision was
10:12wrong.
10:13That, I mean, you know, I did this for them.
10:16You know that.
10:18I mean, I did it for me, of course, but I did it for my kids.
10:23You know that.
10:24For the future.
10:26Well, maybe in time they'll know that.
10:29Eh, maybe in time.
10:31I don't know.
10:32Well, it's just really hard to enjoy the victory when they just think it's just a horrible
10:38decision, so.
10:39Well, the last thing you need is someone else just piling on you, right?
10:44Yeah.
10:45Right.
10:47Uh, anyway, I'd love to talk, but I have a lot of work to do right now, so.
10:58You know.
11:02I hear it's lonely at the top.
11:06I haven't noticed that.
11:08Yeah?
11:09Well, if you ever do notice, I'm available.
11:15CEO to CEO, friend to friend.
11:18Or if you ever start having second thoughts about...
11:21Well, I wouldn't have second thoughts.
11:22Why would I do that?
11:23You know why?
11:24Because you have a heart.
11:28You don't like to cause people pain.
11:31And that heart...
11:34...still loves Nick.
11:36And wouldn't want to hurt him intentionally, or the daughter that you share with him.
11:41And Sharon, I mean, that friendship that you've forged with her, which is very unlikely,
11:47has got to be on shaky ground right now.
11:51And knowing your heart, I would be very surprised if you didn't have even the slightest remorse.
12:01Whether you want to admit it or not.
12:07Sometimes he seems like he's fine.
12:09You know, he's not in any pain at all.
12:11But then other times, it seems like he's agitated and he can hardly hide how much it hurts.
12:17I think he gets that way when the meds start to wear off.
12:21But I'm a little nervous about him getting dependent on these painkillers his doctor prescribed for him.
12:27Do you think it's something we should be worried about?
12:30I hope not.
12:32Good.
12:34He requested a new refill before the last bottle even ran out.
12:41I know that it hasn't been that long since the surgery.
12:44And I know that pain pills, that's a necessary evil.
12:48I'm just worried because pain seems to come back so quickly after the meds wear off.
12:54I think that Nick should probably talk to his doctor.
12:57Maybe there's something else going on that needs to be addressed.
13:00I tried to convince him to have it checked out, but he refused.
13:04And now, with Matt Clark resurfacing, Nick taking care of himself, that'll be the last thing on his mind.
13:24posso choose a vessels?
13:27Okay.
13:35I don't say nothing.
13:41I'm not kidding.
13:44Earth.
13:48Earth.
13:50Earth.
13:55СПОКОЙНАЯ МУЗЫКА
14:28Don't, don't do this, Billy.
14:31Just give me a chance.
14:33You made a clean break
14:35when you chose to run Chancellor over building a life with me.
14:38Let's not go backwards.
14:39I'm not asking for a lifetime commitment.
14:41I'm simply asking to have dinner with you.
14:42Just one night.
14:45Come on, you can't say no to your favorite Malone
14:47and a perfectly cooked filet mignon just the way you like it.
14:49Okay, stop.
14:50I'm just getting started.
14:51Yeah, I'm sure you are.
14:52But it's really not going to make a difference, okay?
14:55After everything that we've been through,
14:57our problems are not going to be solved
14:58with a bottle of wine and a rare steak.
15:00Well, we don't know unless we try, right?
15:03Come on, I know.
15:04It's my fault that our professional relationship
15:06had to come to an end.
15:07I get it.
15:08That door's closed.
15:08I understand.
15:09But that doesn't mean that our personal relationship
15:12has to come to an end, too.
15:13It wasn't just business, Billy.
15:16You're right.
15:16Maybe it doesn't have to be.
15:17Maybe we can flip the perspective.
15:20We can hold on to what we have away from Chancellor and...
15:24Spectre Charles.
15:27Look, bottom line is you can't deny how good we are together.
15:30We were.
15:32One dinner.
15:34If I can't convince you to give us another shot,
15:37then you can look at it as a final goodbye.
15:41Okay.
15:42One dinner.
15:43That's it.
15:44Nothing more.
15:44Great.
15:45I highly doubt that you're going to say anything
15:47that I haven't already heard or I don't know.
15:49So the odds of you changing my mind about anything
15:51are slim to none.
15:53I'll call you.
15:54With the time and place.
15:58Okay.
16:08You know,
16:09I'm not sure what my friendship with Sharon
16:11has anything to do with this.
16:13I mean, she's not really close to Victor right now.
16:16Well,
16:17she may not be Team Victor,
16:19but you know what?
16:22If she's given the choice between
16:24standing next to Nick
16:25and anyone else,
16:27she's going to choose Nick.
16:29Oh, of course.
16:30Sharon's going to choose Nick.
16:31Of course.
16:32Please.
16:35Why can't anyone be Team Phyllis?
16:38I mean,
16:39I think my kids are having a problem with that.
16:43Having a problem?
16:44I mean,
16:45do you feel like they're going to come around?
16:47Well,
16:48if they can forgive me for faking my own death,
16:50I think that they can forgive me
16:53for going after
16:55and achieving my goals.
16:58I think they can.
16:59But it seems like they've been brainwashed
17:01by this Newman propaganda machine.
17:03It is amazing to me
17:05how that family spins everything
17:08to make it look like they're the wrong party.
17:10Well,
17:11you know,
17:11I'm trying not to take sides,
17:14but I have
17:15definitely had my issues with Victor.
17:18And I know this means a lot to you.
17:21Especially with the way that Victor
17:22has treated you in the past.
17:24Oh, God, especially.
17:25I'm sure he's decided
17:27that he's the one who's been betrayed
17:30and
17:31that
17:32I'm the one
17:33who owes something to him.
17:35I'm sure
17:36he's already saying that to people.
17:39I mean,
17:40truth be told,
17:42he has been generous
17:43on occasion with you.
17:45Um, okay,
17:46wait, no, no, no.
17:46You need to stop talking right now.
17:48Please don't.
17:50Are you sure you're on my side?
17:53Has Michael gotten to you?
17:54No.
17:55No.
17:57I certainly remember
17:58all the times that
17:59Victor was
18:00not your champion.
18:01And you know,
18:02by the way,
18:02that goes for Nick as well,
18:04who has ridden to your rescue
18:06on occasion,
18:07but never
18:08when Victor has gone
18:09after your livelihood
18:10or your happiness.
18:13You know,
18:14Nick came to me
18:15and he tried to shame me
18:17into giving the company back.
18:18I'm sure he was just
18:20doing his father's bidding.
18:21I mean,
18:21I understand
18:23some of the things
18:25he said to me.
18:27Whoa.
18:29Really cut deep.
18:31I'm sorry to hear that.
18:33He said he never wanted
18:34anything to do
18:35with me again.
18:39Sars.
18:40Among other things,
18:41of course.
18:43But I'm not here
18:44to shame you.
18:45And I'm really sorry
18:47I didn't bring you a gift.
18:49But
18:50I would love
18:51to take you out
18:52for a celebratory breakfast.
18:56Thank you.
18:56I have a lot of work to do.
18:58I can't do that.
18:59Now, come on.
19:00Don't you know
19:01the first lesson
19:02in being the boss?
19:04Delegate.
19:07You seem like
19:08you could really use
19:09a sympathetic ear.
19:11And I just
19:12happen to have one.
19:17I do
19:18feel for you all.
19:20I know
19:20what Victor means
19:22to
19:22all of you.
19:24How hard it must be
19:25seeing him
19:26this vulnerable.
19:27Which is exactly
19:29why I'm doing
19:29whatever I can
19:30to come up
19:31with a backup plan.
19:32In case my father's
19:34doesn't pan out.
19:36I can't even think
19:37about what it would do
19:38to him if he lost
19:38Newman Enterprises.
19:40The thought that
19:41Phyllis would steal away
19:43everything that he spent
19:44his entire life
19:45building is heartbreaking.
19:47I ran into Phyllis
19:49last night.
19:51Gloating over her
19:52big win, I bet.
19:54I almost felt
19:54sorry for her.
19:56No, I don't
19:57condone what she's done.
19:59But underneath
20:01I could see
20:02the pain
20:03and regret.
20:06Maybe now
20:07is the right time
20:07to strike
20:08if Phyllis really is
20:10as vulnerable
20:10as you seem
20:11to think she is.
20:12Of course,
20:13I'm going to need
20:13Nick's help.
20:14It's not going to be
20:15as easy to convince
20:16Summer and without it,
20:17I don't know.
20:18I do understand
20:19why he can't go
20:19to Mulan with me
20:20right now.
20:23I don't understand
20:24why you haven't
20:25called me back.
20:26I had to track you down
20:27and make sure
20:28you're still alive.
20:29You two talk,
20:30I'll be right back.
20:33Sorry, Vic,
20:34that I didn't
20:34call you back.
20:36Did, um,
20:38did Sharon fill you in
20:40on what's going on
20:40with Matt?
20:40Yeah, she did.
20:41I'm sorry.
20:43I know Matt Clark
20:44being out of jail
20:45is like your worst nightmare.
20:46Yeah, it's a lot
20:47of worst nightmares,
20:48so I'm not going
20:49to Mulan
20:50and I don't think
20:50you should go either.
20:52Well, you're not alone.
20:54Dad's not thrilled
20:55with the idea either.
20:56Okay, well,
20:57why don't you
20:58listen to us?
21:00Because we need
21:00a back-up plan,
21:03Nicholas.
21:03We don't have
21:04any other choice.
21:05Well, it doesn't mean
21:06this is the right move.
21:08You know,
21:08I don't know
21:09what the right move is,
21:10but enlisting my daughter
21:11into this fight
21:13with her mother
21:14is not it.
21:16So I'm asking you,
21:17please, as her father,
21:18do not get Summer
21:20involved in this.
21:27Look, Vic,
21:28it's been hard enough
21:30for Summer to deal
21:32with Phyllis' latest attacks
21:33against our family.
21:34I mean, I already told you,
21:36I really regret
21:37getting Summer involved
21:39back when it was
21:40Phyllis and Kane
21:41gunning for Newton Enterprises.
21:42Come on, Nick.
21:43It wasn't as if Summer
21:44wasn't going to find out
21:45what Phyllis has done.
21:46Yeah, but did it have
21:48to be me?
21:48You know who did it?
21:50I put my daughter
21:51in the middle
21:51of her mother and father.
21:53You said that she was angry.
21:55Like, she might even
21:56be willing to help us
21:57make things right.
21:59Summer's been upset
22:00with Phyllis in the past,
22:01but she always ends up
22:02helping her.
22:02In fact,
22:03they always become closer.
22:05I just,
22:06I want Summer
22:07to be able to decide
22:08for herself
22:09how she deals with this.
22:10You know,
22:12backing off on Summer
22:13might also help
22:14soften Phyllis
22:15and not make her
22:17so defensive.
22:18Knowing that her kids
22:20won't even speak to her
22:21is just making her
22:22dig in even harder
22:24so she can cover up
22:25how much pain she's in.
22:28I know that it's
22:29bothering her.
22:30I saw it,
22:31even though she insisted
22:32that she was fine about it.
22:34Well, it should bother her.
22:36What she did was very wrong,
22:38and she needs to make it right.
22:39I don't want to put
22:40any more pressure
22:41on Summer
22:42than she's probably
22:43already feeling.
22:44I understand,
22:45but do you really think
22:46that Daddy's plan
22:47to force Cain
22:47into fighting this battle
22:48for us is going to work?
22:50The only way
22:51that Cain is going
22:52to come through for us
22:53is if Dad ups the threat
22:56to Lily, Maddie,
22:59and Charlie,
23:00and that's not going to happen.
23:02Don't be so sure.
23:04The longer our father
23:05holds out,
23:05the more desperate
23:06and angry he becomes.
23:08I don't want to see him
23:09escalate this whole thing
23:10to another level
23:11and then we all end up
23:12with an outcome
23:13that we regret.
23:19Oh, look at these guys.
23:20They can't stand it.
23:21Who?
23:22These guys over there.
23:24Everybody.
23:24Everybody.
23:25Who thought I was washed up.
23:27Now they have to contend
23:28with the fact
23:29that I'm the most powerful
23:30woman in this town.
23:32Well, I thought they just
23:34thought we'd let go.
23:34You know,
23:36I know you said
23:36you wanted a treat,
23:37but I would like
23:38to put this on my tab.
23:40In fact,
23:41I would love to spend
23:42all of Victor's money here.
23:45Breakfast for everyone.
23:46Breakfast on me.
23:47They can eat their hearts out.
23:49That sounds great.
23:50I'll take a side of bacon.
23:51Oh.
23:52Hello, Billy.
23:53You look happy, Billy.
23:54Well, I'm just happy
23:55to see you two beautiful
23:56women here together.
23:57Although I am surprised
23:58that you're here together.
24:00Why?
24:01We've been friends forever.
24:03Yeah, I know,
24:04but you're also married
24:04to Michael Baldwin.
24:06So the fact that you
24:07are here together
24:07could mean one or two things.
24:09You're either in the process
24:11of chastising her for the coup
24:12that she just pulled off,
24:13or maybe you're actually happy
24:15that she was the one
24:16that screwed Victor over.
24:17Because of the amount of times
24:18that he screwed Michael over
24:19in the past.
24:22She's the one to make it happen.
24:24Maybe you're okay with that.
24:26Lauren is the only one
24:27who's not passing judgment on me.
24:29You know,
24:30I was on board from the get-go.
24:34Okay, this has to stop.
24:37Uh, what did I do?
24:39You have been working 24-7
24:41since I hired you,
24:42and frankly,
24:43it's making me feel guilty
24:44for not doing the same.
24:46I-I'm just playing catch-up,
24:48but I do have a few ideas
24:49I want to run by you.
24:51Okay, shoot.
24:53First, our logo.
24:56It's still in the concept stages,
24:59uh, but you get the general idea.
25:00And, you know,
25:01I think since we're not
25:02a known entity like Newman,
25:04it would be smart
25:04to spell out our names
25:05instead of just our initials.
25:07Yeah.
25:08You're absolutely right.
25:10Do you like it?
25:11I do.
25:12Yeah.
25:13I love it.
25:14Okay, I-I also drew up
25:15a bullet point plan
25:16for, uh, blanketing social media
25:18with our mission statement,
25:19along with a blast
25:20about merging with Newman Media.
25:22I send it over
25:23for your approval.
25:24Sounds fantastic.
25:27So, if you like
25:29what I just showed you,
25:31what's bothering you?
25:33Nothing.
25:35You're my best friend, Sally.
25:37I know when something's up.
25:41I went to see Billy just now.
25:44Why would you do that?
25:45I just wanted to tell him
25:47about my plans
25:49that I have for the company.
25:51Not to get approval or anything,
25:53just, you know,
25:54out of courtesy.
25:55Yeah, well, I'm sure
25:55he had plenty of ideas
25:57about the company he abandoned,
26:00starting with strongly
26:01advising you to let me go.
26:03I will tell you
26:03what I told him,
26:05but I don't give a damn
26:06what he thinks
26:07about hiring you
26:08or changing the name
26:09or anything else.
26:11You really told him that?
26:12I did.
26:14I bet he loved that.
26:16I mean, actually,
26:16he was pretty accepting of it.
26:19I made it very clear
26:20that since he chose
26:22to move on with Chancellor,
26:23that I am making the choice
26:25to move on without him.
26:28Why does it feel like
26:29there's something
26:30you're not telling me?
26:32I mean,
26:34nothing of any consequence.
26:39He invited me to dinner.
26:41Hmm.
26:42Well, you're not going, right?
26:46Oh, my God, Sally,
26:47why are you going?
26:49It's just a dinner.
26:50It's never just a dinner.
26:52I know what I'm doing.
26:53So do I.
26:54You're giving Billy
26:55another chance
26:56to talk you into
26:57getting back with him
26:58and out of what's best for you.
27:06I'm not going to let Billy
27:07talk me into giving him
27:08a second chance.
27:10Not when I know
27:10that I will never
27:11come first with him.
27:12You're right.
27:13You won't.
27:16I'm sorry.
27:17But you just said it yourself.
27:19It doesn't mean
27:20that I still don't care about him.
27:23I know he still loves me.
27:25Yeah, he has a funny way
27:26of showing it.
27:28I know I need to do
27:29what's best for me.
27:30Well, if you know that,
27:31why are you going
27:32to dinner with him at all?
27:33Because I don't want
27:34to end the relationship
27:35on bad terms.
27:37I mean, didn't Billy
27:37already do that?
27:38Look, this dinner,
27:42as Billy put it,
27:43is just
27:45a final goodbye
27:48between two civil adults.
27:50You and I both know
27:52he's not going down
27:53without a fight.
27:55It's not going to happen.
27:57I won't let it.
28:00Well, of course
28:00you were all for it.
28:02Everybody knows
28:03you hate Victor Newman.
28:04You probably jumped
28:05at the chance
28:06to be part of his demise.
28:07Honestly,
28:08I had nothing to do with it.
28:09I just happened to be
28:10at the right place
28:10at the right time.
28:12You expect me to believe
28:14that Phyllis just handed
28:15you Chancellor
28:16out of the goodness
28:16of her heart?
28:18That you didn't have
28:18some sort of
28:20side arrangement
28:20to secure your CEO spot?
28:23Well, like you just said,
28:24I hate Victor,
28:26so if someone enlisted
28:28my help to try
28:29and take Victor down,
28:30that is a big if.
28:31Of course,
28:31I wouldn't need
28:32much incentive,
28:33would I?
28:35So I'd like
28:35a true opportunist.
28:37I'm a little surprised
28:38you hear condoning
28:39Phyllis' actions, though.
28:41Why wouldn't I?
28:42Well, I figured
28:43at least in public
28:44you'd be a little more neutral
28:45given the precarious position
28:46that Michael is in
28:47with what happened to Newman.
28:49Michael's not tethered
28:50to Victor Newman anymore.
28:51I mean, besides his conscience
28:53and his obligation
28:55as a longtime friend,
28:57I, on the other hand,
28:59owe the man nothing
29:00and don't care
29:02if the world knows
29:02that I'm not a fan.
29:04So this is just
29:05the two of you
29:06being gal pals?
29:08I'm supposed to believe
29:09you're not using
29:10your decades-long friendship
29:11to try and convince Phyllis
29:12that you made a mistake?
29:13Oh.
29:14That's a page
29:15out of your playbook, Billy.
29:16Not mine.
29:18Not that devious.
29:20Especially with my friends.
29:22And Phyllis is a very
29:23important friend to me,
29:24whether you believe it or not.
29:26Bill's is right here.
29:27I'm very much aware of that.
29:31I would say proceed with caution
29:33where your friends
29:34and enemies are concerned
29:35because I'm sure
29:36they're coming at you
29:37at all angles.
29:38Don't cave under the pressure.
29:40Don't let anyone convince you
29:42you don't deserve this.
29:43You've come way too far
29:45to have someone
29:46talk you out
29:46of your success now.
29:50Good to see you.
29:54Look, I don't think
29:55that Dad's gonna up,
29:57you know,
29:57the danger to Lily
29:58and the twins.
29:59I also don't know
30:00what Dad thinks
30:00Cain is gonna be able to do.
30:02He betrayed Phyllis,
30:04so she left him
30:05in the dust.
30:06Any pull that he had
30:08or sway with her
30:10is gone.
30:11I think the hope is
30:12is that Cain will be
30:13the one to do
30:14something drastic.
30:15That way,
30:16Daddy can keep his hands
30:17and the rest of the family's
30:19hands clean
30:19while getting back
30:20what belongs to him.
30:34What is it, Nixon, girl?
30:38Is it Matt?
30:44I trust your opinion,
30:46not only in business,
30:47but also in matters
30:48of the heart.
30:50Wow.
30:51You shouldn't trust me
30:52on that front.
30:54My romantic track record
30:55is pretty bleak.
30:57Although I guess
30:58you could look at
30:59my fail-to-love life
31:00as, you know,
31:02a case study
31:02for what not to do.
31:03But seriously,
31:04I am done
31:05passing judgment.
31:07There's nothing worse
31:07than someone
31:08bad-mouthing
31:09your romantic partner.
31:09Okay, well,
31:11there is no more
31:12romantic partnership
31:13with Billy,
31:14especially now
31:15that I know
31:16that he's proven
31:17to only do
31:18what he wants.
31:18Okay, and you
31:19have already proven,
31:20despite what you know
31:21about him,
31:22you can't resist
31:24his charms.
31:25So, fine.
31:26I won't hold my tongue.
31:30Okay, by all means.
31:32Sharing so much
31:33as a stick of gum
31:35with him
31:35is a huge mistake
31:36and something
31:37you should avoid
31:38at all costs.
31:39Okay, you make it sound
31:40like I lose all sense
31:41of myself
31:41whenever I'm around him.
31:43This so-called dinner
31:45can only go
31:46one of two ways.
31:47Either he convinces you
31:48to get back with him
31:49and you'll end up
31:50on that roller coaster
31:51you swore
31:51you were done riding,
31:53or you'll stay your ground
31:55in which case
31:55he won't take no
31:56for an answer.
31:57And if that happens,
31:59you two adults
32:01could end up
32:02being anything
32:03but civil.
32:07Didn't Billy fire you
32:09not too long ago?
32:10He did.
32:11Well, you two
32:12must have found
32:12some way to make peace.
32:14Otherwise,
32:14there's absolutely no way
32:16you would have
32:17given him Chancellor.
32:18Not when Cain
32:19was out of the picture.
32:20Well, just say that
32:21I saw the value
32:22of letting that part
32:24of Cain's deal stand.
32:26You know what
32:26I didn't like?
32:28I didn't like the way
32:29he was trying to create
32:30doubt in you
32:31about me
32:32and where I stand.
32:33I'm here
32:34without judgment.
32:35Okay, I know that.
32:37I am so exhausted
32:39trying to plead my case
32:41to my friends
32:42and my family.
32:45No one,
32:46no one wants to hear
32:47my side of the story.
32:48No one wants to hear it.
32:49But I do.
32:51I want to hear it.
32:52Please tell me.
32:56This is the way
32:57I see it.
33:01This isn't my last chance.
33:03Lauren,
33:05this is quite possibly
33:07my only chance
33:08to change my life
33:11for the better.
33:13Do you understand
33:14what I'm saying?
33:14Maybe do something
33:15good in the world.
33:16It's incredible
33:17that I am the villain
33:19and the Newmans
33:21are the victims
33:23in my dastardly deeds.
33:25That's how people see it.
33:27The Newman family,
33:28no matter what crisis
33:30befalls them,
33:31they come out on top.
33:33I mean,
33:34I can't believe
33:35doing what I did
33:37has affected
33:38my friends and family
33:39the way it has,
33:40that they want
33:41to alienate me.
33:42These are the same people
33:43who chastised me
33:44for going toe-to-toe
33:45with Victor Newman
33:46and winning,
33:47and I won.
33:48I won.
33:49Lauren,
33:50nobody has been able
33:51to do that,
33:52and I did it.
33:55But somehow,
33:56I'm alone
33:57because of it.
34:00I'm the town pariah?
34:01I am?
34:03Really?
34:06Listen,
34:07if that means
34:08I have to go solo,
34:09fine.
34:11If that's my only option,
34:12so be it.
34:13I don't care.
34:15I'm so sorry.
34:17And if there's
34:18anything
34:21that I can do
34:22to help you,
34:23just you say the word,
34:24okay?
34:25Maybe there is.
34:28name it.
34:29Come work for me.
34:39Nick,
34:40please,
34:40tell me what's going on.
34:41Is Matt here?
34:42Is he in Genoa City?
34:53I don't know
34:54if he's here or not,
34:55but he is demanding
34:56five million dollars
34:57to leave our son alone.
34:58He can't be serious.
35:00Last time I met with him,
35:01I offered him a million
35:02to leave town,
35:03but obviously,
35:03he's asking for more.
35:04Well,
35:05even if we did pay him,
35:06you and I both know
35:07that he won't stop there.
35:08Can the police
35:09trace his text
35:10and find out
35:10where he is?
35:11No.
35:12No.
35:13We have to deal
35:13with this ourselves.
35:14Which means
35:16we have to come up
35:17with a way
35:18to lure him
35:19out of hiding.
35:20Instead of trying
35:21to see her clear
35:21for him,
35:22we have to draw him close.
35:24It's another
35:25worse nightmare,
35:26but this might be
35:27the only way
35:27to end this insanity
35:28once and for all.
35:34There's no way
35:35I'm letting Billy
35:36talk me into
35:37getting back together
35:37with him, okay?
35:38I made it very clear
35:39to him,
35:39and now to you,
35:40I am moving forward.
35:42Yeah,
35:42easy for you to say
35:43when he's not in the room,
35:44Sally.
35:45You make it sound like
35:46I have absolutely
35:47no willpower around him.
35:49You're wrong.
35:50Well,
35:51I hope so,
35:51but since I can't
35:53talk you out of this
35:54goodbye dinner,
35:56my advice is that
35:57you go in strong
35:58and resolved.
35:59Like,
36:00you've been down
36:01this road with Billy
36:02before.
36:03You know he's trouble.
36:05You also know
36:06that he's so good
36:07at convincing you
36:07he's worth that trouble.
36:09So whatever you decide,
36:11just make sure
36:11that you're thinking
36:12about you
36:14and not him.
36:22I'm so flattered
36:23and touched
36:27by the offer.
36:29You know,
36:30I think I'm content
36:32where I am right now.
36:34Mm.
36:35Is it really contentment
36:37that you feel?
36:38Well,
36:38as opposed to what?
36:39As opposed to complacency,
36:41maybe?
36:42You know,
36:43to be honest,
36:43you're due for an adventure.
36:45You know,
36:45something besides
36:46picking out wedding dresses
36:48for the bug.
36:49You know,
36:49while beautiful,
36:50but still,
36:50you know,
36:51putting together
36:52bachelorette parties,
36:53you're better than that.
36:54Come work for me.
36:55Just think about it.
36:56Just a bit.
36:57Don't let Michael
36:58talk you out of this,
36:59please.
37:01But imagine
37:02us together
37:03we could take over
37:04the world.
37:08This all sounds
37:09incredibly risky.
37:10Don't you think
37:11you'd be better off
37:12letting Dad's men
37:13handle this?
37:13No.
37:14Dad has his hands full
37:15trying to get our company back.
37:17Sharon and I
37:17can handle this.
37:18I'm glad you two
37:19have each other.
37:20Yeah,
37:21me too.
37:23The question is,
37:24how do we lure Matt
37:26out of hiding
37:26without also giving away
37:28that he's walking
37:29right into a trap?
37:31I have an idea,
37:32a way to get him
37:33to come to us,
37:34a way he won't be able
37:36to resist.
37:41Next week
37:41on The Young
37:42and the Restless.
37:43Have you heard
37:44from Dad today?
37:45I've been trying
37:46to get a hold of him
37:46and it's making me
37:48a little nervous.
37:48I haven't heard
37:49from him either
37:50and I don't like it.
37:52What are you
37:52going to do
37:53to sway me?
37:54You think I have
37:54something that you
37:55want so bad
37:56you won't be able
37:56to refuse?
37:58Victor kidnapped
37:59my father.
38:00Victor just told me
38:01that if I don't
38:02have a chance
38:02to back to him
38:03by the end of the day
38:03we will never
38:04see Jack again.
