00:07hey thanks for coming so quickly i uh i wasn't sure you would after our call well you said you
00:12could help turn things around for me and my mother yeah yeah have a seat i'll stand
00:23okay look uh last time i spoke with phyllis i think uh i think i might have found a way
00:28to
00:28get through to her and hopefully convince her to rethink what she's done i'm listening i know
00:34that you're convinced that the only thing your mother cares about is the wealth and power that
00:37she acquired via this newman takeover but you're wrong is that so no because the last time we spoke
00:44one thing was crystal clear that despite all she's gained she's not fulfilled okay far from it and
00:53without you and summer by her side her big win just feels like a hollow victory she said this to
00:59you it's not in so many words but it was implied along with the realization that that everything
01:05she's gained wasn't worth everything she lost because of it okay and i believe that that if
01:13you and summer and lucy were back in her life that she would gladly reverse course and return
01:18newman back to victor to what you just said you believe but she didn't actually say that
01:23not yet no well good talk okay just just would you please just unless you're gonna sit here and
01:32you're gonna tell me that my mother suddenly had a change of heart and she is willing to give
01:35newman back to his rightful owner then you're wasting your time and mine
01:43anything no you know this is the second time in two days that nick hasn't returned any of my calls
01:48or texts and you say you saw him yesterday at the coffee house he was talking about how the police
01:54aren't going to be able to help him with this whole matt clark nightmare and that he and sharon are
01:58going
01:58to be the ones that have to lure that monster out of hiding but the point that sharon hasn't heard
02:03from
02:03one of them no and noah and sharon are as worried as we are about this whole thing what's everyone
02:10worried about nicholas thank heavens mom what we were worried sick i didn't think i needed to check
02:19in with you well you do when you're still injured and there's a lunatic out there where have you been
02:25sharon
03:33Hey, you're not supposed to be up yet.
03:35I'm making you breakfast in bed.
03:39Sorry.
03:42Why don't you go back in the room, up under those covers, and when it's ready, I'll pretend
03:49you just got up.
03:52What's wrong?
03:55Nothing.
03:57You're having second thoughts about getting back together.
04:08And the kiss didn't say you're having second thoughts.
04:11I'm not.
04:12No.
04:13Fully committed.
04:15Under one condition.
04:17Name it.
04:19You're not lying to me again.
04:29The lips don't lie.
04:33You're not, right?
04:35Lying.
04:38I bared my heart and soul to you last night.
04:42More importantly, I listened to you, your hopes, your fears about our future together.
04:50Father, I will not lie to you, ever.
04:57No hiding or denying how you really feel?
05:01No.
05:05I will be honest and forthcoming about everything, about what I want, about what I need, and I
05:10want you to do the same thing.
05:13Starting now.
05:16Are you really okay with this new direction in the business front?
05:22I wasn't.
05:24But I am.
05:26Because I know how important Chancellor is to you.
05:29It's extremely important to me.
05:31But if I lost it tomorrow, it wouldn't change how I feel about you.
05:38I love you.
05:40So much.
05:46You know, when I saw this note on my hand, it was already starting to fade.
05:53I just got worried that it was a sign that what happened last night wasn't going to last.
05:58Well, I'll write it on your hand or any other body part every single day if I have to.
06:02So you know that those aren't just words.
06:06Hell, I'll tattoo it on my neck if I have to.
06:08Oh, wow.
06:09That's a look.
06:11You know, if I ever doubt how you're feeling, I can just look in your eyes.
06:17And see what I'm seeing now.
06:23I love you.
06:25I love you, I love you, I love you.
06:29I love you, too.
06:32And thank you so much for listening to me last night.
06:37And for giving me another chance to hear you more openly and directly this time.
06:45You look at us, huh?
06:47I know, we're so involved.
06:49That's what I want for this relationship.
06:51I want us to evolve.
06:53Because I am never letting you go again.
07:08Daniel, I...
07:10Believe me, I wish I could tell you what you want to hear.
07:13Basically, what you are telling me is that my mother has no intention of doing the right thing.
07:17Not yet.
07:18No.
07:19Okay.
07:20Well, like I said, good talk.
07:22Okay, Dan, just wait.
07:24Look.
07:25Look.
07:27It's true, okay?
07:28I can't tell you whether or not Phyllis has fully seen the light.
07:31All I can do is tell you what I saw the last time I spoke with her.
07:35And she's heartbroken, Daniel.
07:38She's heartbroken about what transpired with you and your sister.
07:41I mean, the fact that you two want nothing to do with her, frankly, it's killing her.
07:46She'll get over it.
07:48Don't.
07:48She needs you.
07:50And Summer, in her life, more than she realized.
07:52But first, she needs your forgiveness.
07:54Okay?
07:55And without that, nothing else matters to her.
07:58Not even Newman.
07:59Since when have you become such a big advocate for my mother?
08:03After everything she did to you, what do you care if we work things out or not?
08:07I told you that I understand why your mom did what she did, okay?
08:10I have forgiven her.
08:12Okay?
08:12We may no longer have a business relationship, but on a personal level, I still care for her.
08:17She put you up to this?
08:19No, she didn't.
08:20This was my idea.
08:21Okay?
08:22Maybe hearing about how her children have shut her out, maybe that got to me.
08:26No doubt because of the situation with my kids, but I felt compelled to do something.
08:30The situation with your kids, or is this just another angle that you figure might actually
08:35work and get through to my mother this time?
08:37Because you know what I think?
08:38I think that you're hoping I'll go and I'll talk to her and I'll play on her ego, and maybe
08:43I'll make a little more headway with her.
08:45You're hoping that if I forgive her, maybe she'll realize what's really important, and
08:50her heart will be so full that she'll give Newman back, and then Victor will release
08:54Lily and the twins.
08:54Yeah?
08:55Okay.
08:55Then what would be wrong with that?
08:58Look, the bottom line is that without the only thing that matters to her more than power
09:04and wealth, she has nothing except Newman.
09:08And if that continues to be the case, then she's never going to let it go.
09:13Can we just settle down with the interrogation?
09:20Why didn't you answer your father's text?
09:25Well, I had my phone off throughout the night and most of the morning.
09:28And frankly, I didn't want you to be able to get a hold of me.
09:32Why not?
09:33Because I didn't want you to try and talk me out of what I had planned.
09:37Oh, I hope it had nothing to do with Matt Clark.
09:41Actually, it does.
09:45The reason I've been out of touch is I flew out to L.A. to try and get some information
09:50on Matt's whereabouts.
09:52What'd you find out?
10:00Oh, yes, this, this is what I miss the most.
10:04Morning coffee with you, talking about our day ahead.
10:08Perfect.
10:14Now that we are recharged and reunited, we can focus on these incredible companies that
10:18we get to turn spectacular.
10:20And we will become power couple of Genoa City, like we talked about months ago.
10:26I remember.
10:29Don't tell me you're doubting our imminent reign, are you?
10:34With your optimism and conviction, how could I?
10:37Excellent.
10:40I forgot how intoxicating your enthusiasm could be.
10:47You know, I guess if we didn't hit all those bumps in the road, we wouldn't be where
10:50we are right now.
10:54And me, sitting here, this is the most confident I've ever been about our future relationship.
11:04To us.
11:05Cheers.
11:11When you walked away, I had some serious doubts.
11:17Not just about Chancellor, but about everything.
11:21And I realized that you made me want to be my best version of myself.
11:34Well, I'm not going to pretend like I wasn't crushed when you walked out on avid communications
11:45to take on Chancellor.
11:47I mean, yes, I threw myself into my work at Spectre Charles, but half of my heart was never really
11:54in it.
11:55The part that I broke, the part that I broke, I'm sorry I made you feel that way.
12:01And you didn't do it on purpose.
12:04I'll never forget the way you looked at me when I told you that I was going to take Cain
12:09up on his offer.
12:11Like you hated how ugly things got between us, but I never stopped loving you.
12:25And I am really, really, really, really sorry that I made you feel like I didn't want what you wanted.
12:33I just, I just, I just felt abandoned.
12:38None of this was your fault, Sally.
12:41None of it.
12:44Everything that happened was on me.
12:48Really wish I could tell you I had news on Matt or any intel.
12:52The reality is he's gone completely underground.
12:55The point is he needs money to go to hiding.
12:59I made sure he doesn't have a dime to his name.
13:01The irony is because you drained his accounts before the arrest,
13:06it's easier for him to disappear now.
13:08There's no record of any credit card purchases or digital transactions at all.
13:13Well, I'm glad you couldn't track him down.
13:15I would have worried that you wouldn't have been able to stop yourself from doing something we would all regret.
13:21Anything that gets that psycho out of our lives for good would not be regrettable.
13:25It would be if it landed you in jail.
13:29You know, Nick, Matt could have killed you.
13:31You're lucky that only one leg was shattered.
13:34I'm with Mom.
13:35I'm glad that you weren't able to track him down.
13:37I don't like not knowing where he is.
13:41It gives him the upper hand.
13:43Agreed.
13:44Feels like the calm before the storm.
13:47The problem is we don't know what direction that storm is coming from
13:51or when it's going to hit.
13:54You're wasting your time because it's not going to work.
13:57That's just the thing, Daniel.
13:59I'm not convinced she does love it, at least as much as she thought she would.
14:02I am.
14:04I'm convinced.
14:04That's why I had to disengage from her.
14:07I mean, I couldn't stand to see how blinded she was by the power.
14:10It made me sick to sit there and watch her be so determined to prove to every person in this
14:14town
14:15that she felt has ever wronged her or ever made fun of her or that didn't believe in her,
14:19that she had pulled off this incredible feat and they should all be kissing the ground that she walks on.
14:24You know, to hell with the fact that she ruined her daughter's family legacy in doing so.
14:27She thought that you and Summer were going to be by her side to share in the spoils.
14:32Okay, when she realized how disappointed you both were in her so much that you practically disowned her,
14:38something shifted.
14:39Something shifted.
14:40Yeah, it did.
14:41Not enough to get her to give back what she practically stole from the Newmans, though.
14:44Look, I truly believe that the only reason she's continuing down this path and refuses to give it up
14:50is because she has nothing left.
14:52Okay, she's clinging to this new role as CEO, not because she's enjoying it,
14:56but because she feels abandoned by the people that matter to her most.
14:59Abandoned?
15:00She abandoned us.
15:01She's operating with a blatant disregard for the people that you claim that she loves.
15:06You know why?
15:07Because all she cares about is being one of Genoa City's power elite.
15:11Everything else, that just, it falls by the wayside now.
15:13Look, I'm just telling you what I observed the last time I spoke with her,
15:16and it's not someone who's reveling being on top.
15:19Okay, she's suddenly aware of what it cost her to get what she thought she always wanted.
15:25That's good.
15:26Because if losing us gets my mother to wake up to the mistakes that she's made,
15:29I'm willing to be that sacrificial lamb.
15:31Yeah, but I believe by losing you, it's only going to make her hold on tighter to what she has
15:35left.
15:37Whereas if you forgave her,
15:40Dale, she might finally be able to find the courage to admit that it wasn't all she'd imagined.
15:44And do the right thing.
15:50I think that you give my mother too much credit.
15:53I don't think that forgiving her is going to heal her.
15:56I think that it would actually do the opposite.
15:58I think she'd use it as an excuse to cast aside whatever guilt she might feel
16:02and dive headfirst into this power-mad existence of hers.
16:06Yeah, I might have agreed with you before,
16:07but I am telling you there's been a real shift.
16:10I saw regret in your mother's eyes.
16:13Okay, this takeover hasn't yielded the results that she expected.
16:18Okay, but if she knew, if she knew that she had something else in her life,
16:21if you and Summer, if you went to her and made a bargain with her and told her that you
16:25would forgive her,
16:26if she promised to give up the power and position,
16:28Daniel, I am telling you she would.
16:29Yeah, I'm not so sure that ultimatums are going to work so well.
16:32And she's longing for reconciliation.
16:35And I can tell you from personal experience that all the money and power and glory,
16:40it doesn't mean anything if you lose the people that you did it all for.
16:44That's great, Cain.
16:44That's great that that's been your experience,
16:46but what has my mother said to you that makes you think that she's having this life-changing revelation?
16:53Let's talk about something else.
16:55Even talking about Matt makes my skin crawl.
16:57Well, it's bad enough I had to step away from the company when this new crisis resurfaced.
17:03Everyone understands protecting your family takes priority.
17:07Yeah, well, because of that, I couldn't fight to get the company back.
17:10So could someone please bring me up to speed?
17:14Darling, I don't know that hearing an update will make you less tense.
17:19What's Phyllis done now?
17:21For starters, she has planted herself in my office.
17:25She's also firing people that she feels are too loyal to our family.
17:30I still cannot believe that she actually went through with this.
17:34Mm-hmm.
17:36Power has obviously gone to her head.
17:39So what's the plan?
17:41Cain obviously hasn't been successful in getting the company away from Phyllis.
17:45I'm done waiting for Cain Ashby to come through with this plan.
17:48I have a stronger one.
17:50That I will start enacting very soon.
17:57You know, I was wrong before.
17:59I accepted Cain's offer, and I expected you to just, you know, get on with it.
18:07Hey, we do...
18:08You know, question it.
18:08We don't have to go over this again.
18:10Well, I do, because I made a mistake.
18:11And I want to own that.
18:14And I want you to hear me owning it.
18:17I was scared to have that conversation with you, not only because I broke a promise, because I knew I
18:23was breaking your heart.
18:27I convinced you to start something with me.
18:30And then I bailed.
18:33And instead of being honest and talking about it rationally, I got defensive in the face of justified concerns.
18:40Okay, I got defensive, too.
18:44I was hurt, and I was betrayed, but I'm not going to let you take full responsibility for our failure
18:48to communicate.
18:49I let my feelings get in the way of hearing you the same way you weren't hearing me.
18:54Well, I'm hearing you now.
18:56And I'm not kidding myself, okay?
18:59I know that it's going to take a little bit of time to get fully back on track.
19:04Look, last night and this morning, it's a hell of a start.
19:12I really like the coming back together part more than the breaking up part.
19:16Me, too.
19:23Billy!
19:24It's Phyllis.
19:25We need to talk.
19:25I can't wait.
19:37Phyllis never counted on being the town pariah.
19:41Or that her success would end up alienating the most important people in her life.
19:45I honestly doubt she thought about us at all.
19:48And maybe not in the beginning.
19:51No, she was too focused on grabbing the brass ring.
19:53To see anything else.
19:57I know that because that's what happened to me.
20:04You...
20:07You take it for granted.
20:09You assume that the people that were there with you before the victory are going to be there with you
20:15to share in the aftermath.
20:17When you acquire such wealth so quickly, you naturally assume that you're going to attract all of this praise and
20:25flattery and attention because of your sudden success.
20:33You're so sure that you will be the envy of everyone who has ever looked down on you.
20:41That they'll be clamoring to be near you, just praying that some of that pixie dust that suddenly made you
20:48special is going to rub off on them.
20:51You know, she definitely thought that.
20:53But that's not the way it is, Daniel.
20:55I mean, sure, people envy you, but they also avoid you.
21:01You know, for your mother, everyone knew it was her that pulled that off.
21:08And they still turned their backs on her.
21:10That had to hurt.
21:13And when it's your own family that shuts you out, it's absolutely devastating.
21:19When you realize that what you gain doesn't come close to making up for what you lost, it makes you
21:26think that maybe it all wasn't worth it.
21:32You really think my mother's that unhappy?
21:35Talk to her, Daniel.
21:39Find out for yourself.
21:42Hey, look, if I'm wrong, then I'm going to have to find another way to get Lily and my kids
21:47back.
21:49But if I'm right, then I can get what I want.
21:54And you can make peace with your mom.
21:59Who do you have to lose?
22:05Oh, my goodness, Sally, look at you.
22:08Look at you.
22:09I thought you two were on the outs.
22:10Well, looks like you are the victim of some misinformation because Billy and I are just fine.
22:16Huh.
22:16Lucky you.
22:18So this reconciliation, does that mean that you're going back to Abbott Communications?
22:25Or are you still committed to Chancellor?
22:26Actually, it's not Abbott Communications anymore.
22:30Inspector Charles Media.
22:32Nice.
22:33And Billy is fully committed to taking Chancellor to new and unprecedented heights.
22:39Great.
22:40You have everything worked out.
22:41Thank you for your support, both professionally and personally.
22:44I don't recall supporting you.
22:47That's why you're here right now.
22:48It's pretty early.
22:51Well, as a courtesy, I just wanted to come to tell you that there's a little snag in the contract
22:58that we drew up.
22:59The new Chancellor contract.
23:01I'm sorry.
23:01What kind of snag?
23:02I don't know.
23:03I don't know.
23:03My lawyer just wanted to look it over, sort of finesse some language, and then we'll give it back to
23:09your attorneys and you can sign off.
23:11Okay, well, the last time I read their contract, there were no red flags.
23:13Yeah, well, they're lawyers.
23:16They make things complicated.
23:17We just want to make sure that we're not left vulnerable to any sort of court attack.
23:22You know what I mean?
23:23Just a couple days, that's it.
23:24I, I, I'm sorry, I don't mean to interrupt, but we're about to write a press release about Spectra Charles
23:29Murray.
23:29It has nothing to do with other communications.
23:32I really hope this isn't a style tactic because you own the company, right?
23:38And for all intents and purposes, this is a done deal.
23:41Just one or two days, Billy.
23:43That's it.
23:45What's going on, Phyllis?
23:48Nothing.
23:49No, you could have called me, you could have emailed me.
23:52If it was nothing, you wouldn't be here right now.
23:57You know, I came here out of courtesy because I respect you.
24:02I respect you, Billy.
24:04And I wanted to let you know in person that there was a problem, that's all.
24:08Okay, well, I don't trust this right now, so I'm going to ask you plainly.
24:11Are you stabbing me in the back the same way you did to Cain?
24:19Victor, we need to know what your plan entails, and we need to know now.
24:25I agree, Daddy.
24:26It's not fair to keep us in the dark about this.
24:28Especially since you and Nick shut down my plan, which would have worked, by the way.
24:33I'd like to know too, Dad.
24:35Whatever it is, I hope it doesn't involve putting Lily and the twins in true jeopardy.
24:45It has nothing to do with Lily or the children.
24:51But as a plan, I should have used at the very beginning.
25:03You know, Cain used the same stall tactic on me, you know?
25:07Lawyers need to rework contracts.
25:10That was right after he offered me chances, and right before he pulled the rug out from under me.
25:15Okay, Billy, Billy, I'm sorry you're getting triggered by this.
25:20You know, I'm just trying to save you a court battle, that's all.
25:23I don't like the delay aspect.
25:25I don't like it either.
25:27This is a multinational company.
25:30You think I'm just going to hand you Chancellor,
25:33jot something down on a cocktail napkin,
25:37or write some scribble on your hand or something?
25:40Come on.
25:41I'm going to need reassurances, apart from a reworded contract.
25:46You know what I'm going to need?
25:47I'm going to need you to be less paranoid.
25:49No one's trying to attack you.
25:50No one's trying to stab you in the back.
25:52Look, you and your attorneys will thank me after this is done, okay?
25:56I'm going to hold you to that, Phyllis.
25:58Great, do that.
25:59In the meantime, while you're waiting for the sweetheart of a deal,
26:03why don't you spend time with your sweetheart?
26:04And your robes, and your little socks,
26:08your coffee mugs,
26:10while you enjoy your non-professional life.
26:14Trust me, I'll do that after this contract is signed.
26:17Great, great.
26:19By the way, you're welcome.
26:28I know, Phyllis.
26:30Something else is going on here.
26:33And I have a strong gut feeling it's not going to be good news for me.
26:44Hi, Sharon.
26:46Tessa!
26:47How are you doing?
26:49I'm okay.
26:50You?
26:51I am.
26:53Being here helps, you know, between Noah and Mariah.
26:59Oh, it's okay.
27:00You can say her name.
27:02You know, I was going to call to see about arranging a time with Aria.
27:09Yeah, that's no problem.
27:11Okay, I mean, I wanted Mariah to come with me, with your permission, of course,
27:16but she made it clear that she wasn't ready for that.
27:20Oh, uh, yeah, not to be hurtful, but...
27:25I don't know if it's the best idea if Mariah comes.
27:27Not because of any problem that I have.
27:29I just think it might be confusing for Aria.
27:34Hey, hey, hey, hey, sorry I'm late.
27:36Oh, I'm sorry.
27:37I just got here myself.
27:39Twice in one day.
27:41Lucky us.
27:43Um, the usual for both of you?
27:45Oh.
27:45Sounds great.
27:46Yeah, yeah.
27:47Um, we'll be out on the patio.
27:56I hear this place makes a mean red-eye.
27:59Nick, thank God you're okay.
28:03Where have you been?
28:04No, I have been just...
28:06We're sick about you or we're something happened.
28:09Yeah, well, you're not the only ones.
28:12I was just out at the ranch.
28:13Mom and Vic were giving me a real hard time
28:15for not responding to their calls and texts immediately.
28:17Well, can you blame us for thinking the worst?
28:20We were terrified that you found Matt
28:23or Matt found you and something awful had happened.
28:27I wish I had found him.
28:29But he seems to have vanished into thin air.
28:32Nobody knows where he is.
28:34That means he could be anywhere, Sharon.
28:36He could be far away.
28:38Or he could be hiding in plain sight.
28:45Hey.
28:46I was just about to call you.
28:47If there were ten minutes earlier,
28:49you would have bumped into your son.
28:51Yeah?
28:53How did that go?
28:55Does he still hate me?
28:58Well, uh, we had what I felt
28:59was a very promising conversation.
29:02I think he's at least on the fence now.
29:04On the fence?
29:05That's not good enough.
29:06What do you want me to say, Phyllis?
29:08The guy's got a lot of anger to process
29:10and not just about recent action.
29:12So it's going to take some time and a lot of work.
29:14I don't have the time.
29:15I'm putting everything on hold for this.
29:17For you.
29:18You know, I don't have the time for you
29:20to play dime store shrink to myself.
29:23You better not be trying to renege on our agreement.
29:25Oh, our agreement?
29:27Our agreement was
29:29you would deliver what was promised to me
29:31and I would come through for you.
29:33It seems like you have barely scratched the surface.
29:36Okay, well...
29:38Look, it might...
29:39It might require some help from a third party.
29:41Someone he cares about and respects
29:43a lot more than he does me.
29:45You want help from a third party?
29:49Yeah.
29:49Okay.
29:52I know someone.
29:55Care to share?
29:56Tessa.
29:59Tessa can help.
30:03What do you think I should do?
30:05Do you think I should take Cain's words to heart?
30:07Give my mother another chance?
30:09Forgive her?
30:11Try and work things out with her?
30:14Or...
30:14I don't know.
30:15Should I just keep my distance and protect myself?
30:18Well, I like to think that Phyllis cares more about you
30:21and your sister than her power grab.
30:23And it's like Cain said.
30:25What do you have to lose by trying?
30:29It's funny.
30:30It's actually the only thing I haven't tried with my mother
30:33is to stop trying.
30:34Yeah, but you don't really feel like a quitter to me, Daniel.
30:39Especially when it comes to being there
30:41for the people that you love.
30:43And I can tell that it's eating at you.
30:47Feeling like you have to push her away.
30:50Yeah, that's exactly how it makes me feel.
30:54I could see that it hurt her.
30:57And, you know, it hurt me, too.
31:02What would you do if you were in my shoes?
31:07I'd probably give her another chance.
31:10You know I could make that same argument for Mariah.
31:15What does she have to do with this?
31:16Well, what if she came to you,
31:17she told you that she wanted you to forgive her,
31:20she told you that
31:22she wanted you to give her another chance.
31:25What then?
31:26Hmm?
31:27Would all bets be off?
31:29Would I lose you to her?
31:34I know this is probably the last request
31:36you would expect to hear from me,
31:38but I could use some big brother advice
31:40on a very important subject.
31:44Give me a call back when you get this, please, Jack.
31:47I'll be waiting on your call.
31:55You know,
31:58six months ago,
31:59I would not have made that call.
32:02But what I learned from you
32:03is that when I have a problem,
32:05I need to trust the people that I love
32:07and ask them for help.
32:10Well, what can I do to help?
32:18What the hell is that all about?
32:20Who is that?
32:23Victor.
32:25Asking me to come to the ranch
32:26and he says it's urgent.
32:28No, ignore it.
32:28Whatever Victor wants is not good.
32:32Yeah.
32:35No, I know.
32:36You're probably right.
32:38Something's going on with you,
32:39and he might know something about that.
32:43So I think I need to collect
32:44as much information as possible
32:46in order to find out
32:47what's really going on.
32:54I can't believe that Matt
32:56managed to disappear again.
32:59Tell me about it.
33:01Nobody has any idea where this guy is.
33:04And I turned over a lot of stones.
33:06Is it possible that he
33:08left the country?
33:10I mean,
33:12I'd be the smart thing to do.
33:15Maybe those texts he sent to Noah
33:17were just meant to distract us
33:19to make us think
33:20that he was on his way to Genoa City
33:22when really,
33:23he's not a plane to Europe
33:24or Asia.
33:25I'm sure he would want to stay
33:27as far away as possible
33:29from the risk of jail
33:30or death.
33:43from Matt.
33:58I don't really think
34:00that's a fair comparison,
34:01but I get why you would go there.
34:04You know what?
34:06I'm a jerk.
34:07Forget I said anything.
34:09I didn't mean to put you on the spot.
34:10No, you're not a jerk.
34:11It's a valid question
34:12and it deserves an honest answer.
34:16The truth is,
34:17is that I'm not really sure
34:19what I would do.
34:22Not too long ago,
34:23there would have been
34:24no doubt in my mind
34:26that I would say yes
34:27to Mariah
34:27asking for another chance.
34:29But since then,
34:31she has had so many opportunities
34:33and hasn't taken me up on one.
34:38And
34:39I don't really think
34:42she cares
34:44about my forgiveness.
34:47I think she's so dedicated
34:48to her healing process
34:49that she couldn't even imagine
34:51committing to anyone
34:52or anything else.
34:55and I have fought
34:59as hard as I can.
35:01So
35:04I have to be ready
35:05to move on
35:05and let her go.
35:08Even though it's
35:09breaking your heart?
35:11Hearts healed, Daniel.
35:14Yours did with Heather.
35:16Mine can too.
35:22How did we get there?
35:23We were talking about
35:24your mom
35:24and what you were going to do.
35:26Yeah.
35:27Thought I was going to try
35:28tough love.
35:29I thought it was maybe
35:30going to wake her up
35:31a little bit.
35:32After talking to Cain,
35:33I just feel like
35:34it may have done the opposite
35:35and it may have just
35:35broken her heart.
35:37Well, the question is,
35:39is
35:40are you ready
35:42to try and mend it
35:43by giving her
35:45another chance?
35:48If anyone can help you
35:50reach Daniel,
35:51it's Tessa.
35:52is your best bet.
35:54I mean,
35:54she has his ear,
35:54she has his heart,
35:55but if you want
35:57to consult her help
35:57on all of this,
35:58you better do it quick
36:00because I put Billy off,
36:02but he's not going
36:03to go for this forever.
36:04What'd you tell him?
36:05I told him that the lawyers
36:07had a snag in the contract.
36:09Okay,
36:09well,
36:09that's going to raise
36:10some red flags.
36:11That's the same tactic
36:12I used.
36:12Yeah,
36:13he told me.
36:14Look,
36:14I can't afford to have
36:16Billy sign those documents,
36:17okay?
36:17If he does,
36:18I have nothing
36:18to negotiate
36:19with Victor.
36:19I know,
36:20Cain.
36:21Tick-tock.
36:22I promise you,
36:22I will get through
36:23to Daniel,
36:24all right?
36:24I will.
36:25I just,
36:25give me,
36:26give me 24 hours.
36:32Send him in.
36:46I've got a message.
36:51Have you seen?
36:52I'm fine,
36:53thanks.
36:54I can't stay.
36:55I've got a company to run.
36:58Well,
36:59no.
37:00It's happening,
37:01Victor.
37:02Chancellor Industries
37:03is now in the hands
37:04of its rightful leader.
37:06I know that's a shock
37:07to hear it said out loud,
37:08but it feels pretty good
37:09to me,
37:09especially saying it to you.
37:12I've got news for you.
37:16Chancellor Industries
37:16will be back in my hands
37:19before the end
37:19of business day.
37:22That's funny.
37:23You're working
37:23on your stand-up routine
37:24now that you have
37:25so much time
37:25on your hands.
37:27I'll be very busy
37:29once the company
37:30belongs to me again.
37:33I think all of this
37:34is making me
37:35a little delusional
37:37because there's not
37:38a chance in hell
37:39that I will be handing
37:40Chancellor Industries
37:40back to you.
37:42If you don't,
37:46neither you
37:47nor anyone
37:47in your family
37:50will ever see
37:51Jack Abbott
37:52again.
38:00I'll be back to you again.
38:01I'll be back to you again.
