00:10the chili is your favorite thing here before they touched it no I'm gonna take it to go
00:17Connor can enjoy it later you're not exactly making any headway with that salad there
00:24maybe I'll take it to go as well considering our teenage son likes to eat double his weight
00:29and food these days are you okay or is that a stupid question look I know there's no way that
00:39our family's gonna starve but I can't say that I'm happy that neither one of us is employed right
00:44now you know what the worst thing is well no one of the worst things I tried logging into one
00:51of the
00:52newman platforms you know and I get directed to a spectra charles media website oh it's such a
00:59slap in the face everything we built it's just gone yeah I know it's Sally and Altra's shiny new
01:07company I did the same thing nearly through my laptop halfway across the room haven't had the stomach to
01:14look at it again I keep thinking it's a mistake or that Victor's gonna find a way to get it
01:19all back
01:20but as each day passes I'm starting to think that's not gonna happen
01:28I'm going to think that's not gonna happen
01:29yeah
01:30yeah
01:32yeah
01:35yeah
02:04You have a lot of gall.
02:06Interrupting a private conversation that I was having with my son.
02:09This is very important.
02:11Everything's important with you, Billy.
02:13Everything. Nothing's changed.
02:14Nothing. You'll get the contract when you get it.
02:17I have work to do.
02:17Actually, Phyllis, everything has changed.
02:20No, nothing has changed.
02:20You know what?
02:23Why are you doing this to me?
02:24I've been so kind to you.
02:26And here you are, in my face.
02:29Why?
02:30This is classic Billy Abbott.
02:33Self-sabotage when you're maybe finally about to get what you want.
02:37I'm sorry. Maybe finally?
02:39And you say I'm paranoid for thinking that there's more going on here?
02:42I have no intention of reneging on our deal.
02:45In fact, I'm going to call the lawyers right now and tell them to push it so you get out
02:50of my hair.
02:50Okay, great.
02:51Well, I'm sorry to make it inconvenient, but you signing this contract is a matter of life or death.
02:55Oh, my gosh. So dramatic. Do I smell desperation?
03:00Not me.
03:01Victor.
03:03Losing Newman Enterprises has pushed him to a whole new level of threat.
03:08What does that mean? What has Victor done?
03:12Victor did what Jack did with Lily and the kids.
03:16Excuse me?
03:17Victor's taken Jack, Phyllis.
03:20And if I don't give him Chancellor back, I don't see my brother again.
03:23I don't give him a chance to see my brother again.
03:31Patty Williams.
03:34Oh, my God.
03:37It's really you, isn't it?
03:39Yes, I know. I know.
03:42Jack, to be here with you.
03:47It is definitely surreal.
03:50And a long time coming.
03:54You don't have to be afraid.
03:57I come in peace.
04:00That's good to know.
04:03You're not going to want to make a break for it.
04:06We're alone in the middle of the lake.
04:10Nowhere to go.
04:11Then how did you get here?
04:14I think what you're asking is, how did I get out?
04:19Yeah, yeah, I'm curious about that, too.
04:21Last I heard, you were in a maximum security psychiatric facility with no chance of getting out.
04:28Oh, when you put it like that, I can see why you'd be worried.
04:32Please, you don't need to be afraid.
04:36You have nothing to fear from me.
04:40I swear, Jack, I'm a changed woman, and I am here to make amends.
04:53That Phyllis and Billy could outmaneuver Victor Newman just seems impossible.
05:00This massive, massive media empire just chopped up and divvied up like door prizes?
05:07What are we supposed to do, just accept it and move on?
05:11I don't want to think so.
05:13I mean, your dad, he's going to fight to get everything back, isn't he?
05:18You know, my pops, okay, he's poured heart and soul into building Newman Enterprises.
05:25So walking away and giving up, I don't even know what that would look like.
05:29Victor must be so gutted.
05:31Oh, my gosh.
05:33And Nick and Victoria must be such a big blow to them.
05:37So much of who they are is wrapped in this family business.
05:41So if that ends, where does that leave them?
05:45Nick and Victoria have left Newman a few times, but the company has always been there for them.
05:50It's always something they've counted on.
05:52Now, it could be a whole new world.
05:54What about for Nicky?
05:56Running Chancellor, honoring Catherine's memory, it meant so much to her.
06:01But it wasn't just that.
06:02I mean, to see now Victor brought to his knees like this, watch him have to fight so hard.
06:08I mean, Nicky's trying to stay hopeful and stay positive,
06:11but it's got to be crushing her inside to see her kids and her husband go through this.
06:15That just breaks my heart for her.
06:19Chelsea, have I ever told you how much I love your compassion
06:24and how sensitive you are to everyone around you, including and especially my family?
06:30I consider myself a Newman now.
06:35That doesn't change just because their fortunes have.
06:39Whatever happens, my fortune is right here.
06:44I love you saying that.
06:49But I see how worried you are.
06:52You're not sleeping.
06:53You're barely eating.
06:54I feel like this has hit you harder than anybody.
06:56Why would you say that?
06:57Because you were the last one to join this family.
07:00You put everything into running Newman Media, Newman Enterprises, all of it,
07:04because you just wanted to be able to prove yourself.
07:07Well, I thought it was my way to show that I was worthy.
07:12But I finally realized you cannot buy love by improving the bottom line.
07:16Okay?
07:17You want to earn someone's love, you have to show up with someone to your own.
07:20And you've done that.
07:22In spades.
07:23It's the proudest times I've ever heard Victor talk about you.
07:27He was always talking about the kind of dad you are to Connor.
07:30He truly beams with pride.
07:33Well, I'm just following your lead.
07:35I mean, you're the one that showed me how to even come close to being the kind of father that
07:39our son deserves.
07:42We're lucky.
07:44We are, no matter what happens in the future.
07:50Jeez, all this love.
07:51I mean, good thing we have so much.
07:54Connor might have to live on it.
07:56Savings won't last long.
07:59Newman family legacy is probably ashes.
08:02So if Newman Enterprises is really done, what does that mean for our future?
08:10Victor kidnapped Jack?
08:11That's ridiculous.
08:13It's serious.
08:15Victor's not even coming up with anything original anymore.
08:18He's trotting out the same thing that he did to Kane, which failed miserably, by the way.
08:22No, it didn't.
08:23Okay, let me remind you.
08:24It actually worked.
08:25Kane was about to hand over everything back to Victor to save his family until you stabbed him in the
08:30back.
08:31Victor was never going to do anything to Lily and the kids.
08:34Never, ever.
08:35I knew it was a bluff.
08:36But yes, you're right.
08:37I did seize the moment, and I seized Victor's company at the same time.
08:42And I went along with it.
08:44But this is different, Phyllis.
08:46It's not different.
08:47You know what?
08:48You need to relax.
08:49You know, I'm running a multinational company here.
08:54I want to grab lunch with my son, so you need to run along.
08:58I am not going anywhere.
09:00My brother is in danger.
09:02Victor is throwing a tantrum.
09:04That is all he is doing, Billy.
09:06Victor hates Jack more than anybody on this planet.
09:09And he's lost everything, and he's desperately trying to hold on to his legacy.
09:13He's backed into a corner, Phyllis.
09:16That makes him very dangerous.
09:17So sign the contracts so I can do what I need to do and get my brother back.
09:23To make amends.
09:26I'm sure you can understand why I might be a little skeptical.
09:31I have my work cut out for me.
09:34The last clear memory I have, I was leaving work to go home.
09:38I wake up in this five-star luxury storage unit.
09:44So tell me, how did you get me here?
09:48And why?
09:48And what do you want from me?
09:51A lot of questions, Jack.
09:52I would appreciate some answers.
09:55Well, let's not get into the details of that.
09:58I would respectfully disagree.
10:00I would like to read.
10:02Okay, then.
10:06It took a lot of years of hard work.
10:10I'm not following.
10:12It's amazing that the right combination of medication and cognitive behavioral therapy can accomplish.
10:27I've been rehabilitated, Jack.
10:30You expect me to believe that you were released because of progress in that area?
10:37I'm here, aren't I?
10:39Yeah, and I am locked up against my will.
10:42So you will forgive my questioning the success of your so-called rehabilitation.
10:49Do you believe in redemption?
10:52For some, yes.
10:54Rumor has it, you're back with Diane.
10:56It seems like you have a very big appetite for forgiveness.
11:01And I'm just asking you to spread a little of that love my way.
11:06If you have done the work you claim to have done,
11:11you would know the myriad reasons why that ask is a big ask.
11:18I know what I've done.
11:21And I am here to face you.
11:24To look in your eyes and ask you to just open your heart a tiny bit.
11:33Do you?
11:36Never.
11:38I know.
11:40I have done untold damage to you and your family.
11:43And I hurt your heart, Jack.
11:46But I am here to help you heal.
11:55Well, I guess this is our chance to break out.
11:59Think outside the career box.
12:02Mike?
12:04Professional hockey player.
12:05I mean, it's always been a dream of mine.
12:08I don't think so.
12:09What, are you saying that I'm too old?
12:12No, I'm saying you're too pretty.
12:14I wouldn't want you to ruin that beautiful face of yours.
12:16What about modeling?
12:18I do still have some contacts in the fashion world.
12:20Okay.
12:21I am more than a pretty face.
12:23Thank you very much.
12:24You definitely are.
12:26What if you opened up a restaurant?
12:28Love the enthusiasm, but no restaurant for me.
12:32The margins are too small, and the chance of failure is just huge.
12:36Well, you are a man of many talents, so I'm sure you can find your niche.
12:40Wait.
12:42I got it.
12:44What?
12:47Card shark.
12:49Card shark?
12:50Like your days in Las Vegas as Spider?
12:53Oh, no, baby.
12:53I had real talent, okay?
12:57And I'm not the only one that has a genius for living on the edge.
13:01Oh.
13:01My days as a con?
13:03You weren't just a con.
13:05You were top of the game.
13:07So, you're saying we should...
13:10return to what we know?
13:12I mean, you wanted options, so...
13:16Just saying.
13:18So, uh, you think that's what we do?
13:20We just give in to Victor?
13:22We just give him what he wants?
13:23Well, my brother's life is in danger, so...
13:25I don't really have an option.
13:27It's not an ideal situation, but I think you're overreacting.
13:29I don't get it, okay?
13:31You don't care about Chancellor.
13:34And I don't care about the contract,
13:36because all I'm going to do is give it back to Victor.
13:39So, get the contract signed, and we can be done.
13:41It's not that simple, Billy.
13:44Why is it not that simple?
13:47What are you doing?
13:48Are you stalling to hold Chancellor for yourself?
13:50Is that what you're up to?
13:52I'm not even going to get into this with you.
13:55I have a company to run.
13:56Yeah?
13:57Maybe you're going to give it to Daniel.
13:59Is that what you're up to?
14:00I mean, you've done that before, right?
14:02Remember?
14:03Remember when Heather died, you tried to force me to hire Daniel to get him back on track?
14:07That didn't work.
14:08So, is this your answer?
14:09Wow, okay.
14:10You're way off the mark right now.
14:11Am I really?
14:11Daniel is furious with you.
14:12That's very clear.
14:14He hates what you've done.
14:15So, you're going to give him Chancellor with a big bow to try and get your family reunited?
14:19My family is none of your concern.
14:21This is my concern.
14:24Get the contract signed, or I'm going to assume that you're screwing me over.
14:28You know what?
14:28I told you.
14:29The lawyers have the contracts.
14:31They're going over the language.
14:32The lawyers have the language.
14:33I just said it doesn't matter.
14:34I'm giving the company back to Victor to save my brother.
14:38Get the contract signed.
14:39I need them done in an hour.
14:41Okay, or what?
14:43You don't want to find out.
14:45Are you threatening me, Billy?
14:47You take it how you want.
14:50My brother's life is in danger, and I will do whatever it takes to get him home safe.
15:02The idea that you are going to heal me is, frankly, insane.
15:07But I can, Jack, if you just let me.
15:09Why do you care?
15:11What is it you want from me?
15:14Freedom.
15:15A release.
15:17For both of us.
15:22I just wanted to come by and see if you're awake and comfortable.
15:29You look good, Jack.
15:32A little out of sorts.
15:35But we can fix that.
15:38Wait, you can't just walk away.
15:40I'll be back.
15:43I'll be back.
16:00What is your game, Patty?
16:03And why?
16:06Why here?
16:07Why now, after all these years?
16:11I know what you've done.
16:13I know what you're capable of.
16:14Whatever this is, it cannot be good.
16:23Oh, there you are.
16:25How did it go with Phyllis after we left?
16:28Were you able to get through her tour?
16:29Yeah, please tell us that she closed the Chancellor deal on the spot, and we can go back to Victor,
16:34end this nightmare, and get Jack home where he belongs.
16:36Thanks.
16:37She didn't promise anything.
16:40What?
16:40Why not?
16:41I don't know.
16:42She blamed her lawyer.
16:43She blamed her on the contract, and she told me that I was paranoid.
16:46Well, did you tell her it's imperative that you take ownership of Chancellor as soon as possible?
16:50Yes, I did.
16:52I told her that Jack has been kidnapped by Victor and that he wants Chancellor, but that didn't really do
16:56anything.
16:56She just refused.
16:58She said she's thinking about it, okay?
17:00And I gave her an hour to get the contracts done.
17:02A man's life could be hanging in the balance.
17:05A man she was once married to, and she has to think about it?
17:08Mom, this is Phyllis.
17:09Well, what if she doesn't come through?
17:11What do we question?
17:11Let's not overreact, okay?
17:13You know, I don't get why she would care about what happens to Chancellor one way or the other.
17:17She's already sitting on top of Newman Enterprises.
17:19I said the exact same thing to her, and she told me that I'm paranoid.
17:22Or just very aware of how Phyllis operates.
17:25It's obvious she wants to keep her claws and Chancellor as leverage.
17:29That woman will do whatever it takes to keep the upper hand.
17:33Never mind that Jack's life is at risk.
17:37What if it isn't?
17:39Hey, just an hour ago, you were the one convincing me Victor has my father, and we still don't have
17:44proof, do we?
17:45I mean, if Victor has Jack, what did he do with him?
17:55Here we go.
17:58To our future.
18:07Oh, wow.
18:08That's good stuff.
18:10Isn't it, though?
18:10That's very generous.
18:11Yeah.
18:18I bet you wonder why I'm here.
18:20As a matter of fact, I'm not.
18:21I was expecting you.
18:22You were expecting me?
18:24Oh, my goodness.
18:25Always one step ahead.
18:27Those days are over, though.
18:29After I acquired your company out from under you.
18:32You know, if I were you, I'd admit to the error of my ways and make things right.
18:41Victor is just genius.
18:44Really?
18:45Yeah.
18:48I'm not giving up Newman Enterprises.
18:51No.
18:52You know, there's a little birdie in my office.
18:55Yeah.
18:56The birdie's spewing a lot of things about you.
18:59Was it a birdie or was it a rat?
19:02Depends on who you ask.
19:03What I'm asking you?
19:05Is it true about Jack?
19:09That's between Billy Boy and me.
19:12No, actually, it's between you and me.
19:19Billy doesn't own Chancellor.
19:21I own Chancellor.
19:22So if you want to negotiate with anyone to spare Jack, it's going to be with me.
19:34I thought you didn't like to think about your days as Spider in Las Vegas.
19:39Not a lot of it, no.
19:42But I still know a hanger and a fish when I see one.
19:46It's a cheater and a sucker.
19:50And do you think you're still sharp enough to hit those tables?
19:53Well, a little brushing up.
19:55Vegas, here we come, baby.
19:57From what I've heard, those casinos lately like to keep the odds in their favor at those tables.
20:03So that might put a temper on things.
20:07I don't know.
20:08I mean, hitting the tables for a couple big scores.
20:12How is that different than the high-stakes corporate game we play every day?
20:20You want to negotiate with me?
20:22Yeah, let's do it.
20:23Well, I've told you before, this is not a matter of negotiation.
20:27This is a demand, okay?
20:31I want Chancellor Industries back in exchange for Jack Abbott.
20:36I'm sure we can work out a deal.
20:38No, it's not about a deal.
20:40If you think along those lines, then you're putting Jack's life in peril.
20:47Victor, you're not going to actually do anything to Jack Abbott.
20:52You're willing to take that chance?
20:55You weren't going to do anything to Lily or the kids either, were you?
20:59If you think I'm bluffing, you're doing that at your own peril or Jack's peril.
21:08What are you going to do, dig a hole, bury Jack in it and walk away?
21:14Now I do have your attention, then.
21:17Now you were married to Jack once or twice or three times to the hell knows one.
21:22I'm sure you've developed some deep feelings for him.
21:26So are you willing to save him or are you going to turn your back on him?
21:33As you have turned your back on so many other people.
21:38So now you want proof that Victor has taken Jack?
21:41We tried that, remember?
21:43He shut us down.
21:44He also told us not to contact the police, that it would be worse for Dad.
21:48And Billy, knowing how Victor feels about you, how do you think you're going to convince him to give you
21:53that proof?
21:54Very good point.
21:55The hand made with somebody else to do the asking.
21:57Well, maybe it's Victoria.
21:58Maybe we can convince her to talk to her father.
22:00That's worth a try.
22:01No, it's not worth a try.
22:03Okay, it's not worth a try because Victoria is furious at me.
22:07She's so pissed off that she sent our kids to boarding school in order to take them away from ground
22:11zero.
22:11I mean, you did team up with Phyllis to try to screw with her father.
22:15Can you blame her for being angry, Billy?
22:17Right, well, proof or no proof, we have to do something.
22:21Jack's in danger.
22:23I can feel it.
22:25He needs us.
22:33What's this?
22:37What does it look like?
22:39Thought you were hungry and in need of a drink?
22:42I'm not hungry.
22:44You still a single malt man?
22:46Or I could make you a martini if you'd like.
22:50There's always champagne.
22:51I'm not interested in any drink you are serving for reasons I think you know.
22:57I deserve that.
22:59You do?
23:02But you shouldn't go hungry because of my past sins.
23:06Gee, that's real big of you.
23:10Jack, how do we solve this?
23:16I know.
23:18Let me be your taster, like the king's had.
23:22I'll sample your food and drink.
23:25Make sure they're not poisonous.
23:27Let me be your taster, like the king's had.
23:37Heading Newman Media, making it a success.
23:42We knew when to hold them, when to fold them.
23:45That's the spirit.
23:47And the life of a card shark.
23:49We wouldn't be stuck in an office all day.
23:53Hold on.
23:53It's we now, huh?
23:56I can see it already.
23:57Us at the tables in Monte Carlo.
23:59You in a tux.
24:00Me in a sexy gown.
24:02We didn't make a great team at Newman Media.
24:05No reason to break that up now.
24:07And what?
24:08Do you distract the dealer?
24:09So they don't notice that I'm counting cards or I have an ace or two up my sleeve?
24:14Better idea.
24:15You distract the dealer while I slip counterfeit chips into the game.
24:19Oh, that's too risky.
24:21Why wouldn't we just cash them in?
24:24Because the cashier would spot that.
24:26Especially because it would be a large transaction, obviously.
24:30No.
24:30The way we would make this work is you lose the fake chips when they're real ones.
24:36That way we launder the counterfeits and we get to enjoy our money, honey.
24:41I just seem to have this all worked up.
24:45Was this a scam you ran before I met you?
24:47And if so, why haven't I heard about this before?
24:49The best cons are the ones where the marks don't even know they've been conned.
24:55Well.
24:57Thank you for reminding me how lucky I am to have you on my side.
25:05Very lucky.
25:22Delicious.
25:24This would really go a long way in helping you relax, Jack.
25:28I doubt that.
25:31Single mall, come on.
25:34Oh, you think I'm outsmart, ain't you, doing a switcheroo?
25:38No, I would never for one moment underestimate your cleverness.
25:50There.
25:52I tasted them both and...
25:55I'm still standing.
26:00You must be famished.
26:02I know I am.
26:08Yeah.
26:12Mmm.
26:15That's really good.
26:20Starving yourself will not help, Jack.
26:24You need to keep your strength up.
26:27I'm fine.
26:29Okay.
26:30Suit yourself.
26:32What are you after?
26:34I told you.
26:38I'm here to heal the damage that I've done.
26:43I'm telling you, Jack.
26:46The work that I did on myself...
26:49It was gut-wrenching.
26:51The barriers that I had to break down.
26:53The psychic walls I had to build up to just get to a place to even...
26:58Admit to what I had done to you.
27:01And to Tracy and to Ashley and Phyllis and so many...
27:05Sir, sir, you feel remorse.
27:07Is that it?
27:08So deeply.
27:10And then to face it.
27:12To really face it.
27:13I was brought to my niece, Jack.
27:16And that look in your eyes.
27:18I had to face that in myself.
27:23I had to accept that what I had done was inhuman.
27:28And look, I assumed that I was going to spend the rest of my day stripped raw shell.
27:37You know, going through the motions day in, day out in that hell.
27:44And then, what?
27:48And then...
27:50I woke up.
27:54And I realized...
27:57That I had a choice that I could rebuild myself from scratch.
28:03And be a human being, Jack.
28:10You're right.
28:11You're right.
28:11Jack has been an important part of my life.
28:13I just don't want to be the responsible party if something terrible happens to him.
28:21That warms the cockles on my heart, darling.
28:23That is so touching.
28:24Wow.
28:25You know he's a good man.
28:26Let's make a deal.
28:28And I told you this is not about a negotiation.
28:31Okay.
28:31Well, Chancellor is still under my control.
28:34I own that outright.
28:35You can have it.
28:38Do with it what you will.
28:39Give it to Nicky to do something with.
28:41I don't know.
28:42Rebrand it as Newman Enterprises.
28:44Simmers Conglomerate.
28:45We would welcome the competition.
28:48And in turn, for my generosity, you release Jack, Lily, Maddie, and Charlie.
28:54Why are you willing to offer it to me so quickly?
28:59Because I'm a good person.
29:01Talk about delusional.
29:03You and I both know that isn't true.
29:05Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.
29:07David, come on.
29:09Because I want to save Jack.
29:11That's overwhelmingly generous of you.
29:13You're so...
29:15You're such a good heart.
29:18What's in it for you, fellas?
29:20Come on.
29:25Billy, even without proof that Victor has taken Jack,
29:29you are still going to get that contract signed
29:32and turned Chancellor over to Victor for Jack's return, right?
29:35It's a mess.
29:36This is such a mess.
29:38I am this close to getting everything I wanted.
29:41Now Victor's going to take it away from me again,
29:43first with an assist from my mother,
29:44and now he's holding Jack's feet over the fire.
29:46I'm sorry.
29:47Are you making this about you?
29:48I'm not making it about me.
29:50All I wanted was Chancellor in order to uphold Catherine's legacy,
29:53to build that company, the powerhouse that it should be.
29:56Now it's going to get taken away from me.
29:57Sorry to interrupt your pity party,
29:59but my father's safety matters a hell of a lot more
30:01than the number of times you've been screwed up, Chancellor.
30:04You sure you're not using the lack of proof
30:05as an excuse to hold on to Chancellor?
30:08How much of an ass do you think I am?
30:10It's not often you put the family's interests ahead of your own.
30:12Are you kidding me?
30:14It wasn't that long ago you were all Team Victor, pom-poms and all,
30:17and you're going to have this conversation with me?
30:19All right, all right, all right.
30:19That's enough, both of you.
30:20The last thing we need is to be fighting amongst ourselves.
30:25I'm just trying to keep the focus where it belongs.
30:28Billy, think about it.
30:31What are you going to do
30:33if you don't get confirmation from Victor that he has Jack?
30:37You understand if Victor is playing me,
30:42I lose everything.
30:43And if he's not...
30:54Done.
31:08Done.
31:14Well, I think we have a contingency, bud.
31:16Monte Carlo, here we come.
31:21Maybe we should keep it local.
31:23You know, Newman's gone.
31:24Connor's really settled into his life here.
31:28We could set up our three-card Monty table on First and Grand.
31:33You can run the game.
31:34I'll be your show.
31:35Okay, I think I can do that.
31:38The only tricky thing about that con
31:40is it's kind of a fool-me-once kind of a thing.
31:44So we would have to branch out.
31:46Well, not unless we got Billy hooked.
31:48I mean, he'd be there every day.
31:51He'd become obsessed with trying to prove
31:53he can beat me at something.
31:56He probably thinks he already has.
31:59Well, if I play it right,
32:00you know, I could get him to bet and lose Chancellor.
32:04I think you might be on to something.
32:06It's so funny.
32:08I was talking about car jerking and grips and cons.
32:13Oh, my gosh.
32:13It was so long ago.
32:15I'm just so glad all that is behind us.
32:20It's not much to miss.
32:22Hmm.
32:22Yeah.
32:24I think I did all that stuff.
32:27You know, I acted out like that back then
32:29because I was alone.
32:32I didn't have anybody in my life I could trust.
32:35I was all I had,
32:37and I just did anything I had to do to get what I wanted.
32:41And now?
32:41Now I have you and Connor.
32:45I have a real family now.
32:48Look.
32:50Whatever happens moving forward,
32:54we're going to hang on to our trust in each other
32:57and our love,
33:00and we're going to get to the other side of this.
33:02And it's going to take a lot more than this setback
33:04to push us back to our old ways.
33:08True, but
33:11in order to continue to give Connor
33:13the life he needs and deserves,
33:16I'll do whatever it takes.
33:22Now, Phyllis,
33:25I've known you for a while, you know?
33:28And I know you don't do anything
33:29out of the goodness of your heart.
33:31I mean,
33:32you're transactional.
33:34Maybe there is something else.
33:38Yeah?
33:39Well, don't keep me in suspense.
33:43Maybe
33:44I just want my kids to love me.
33:47Oh.
33:49Maybe that's it, Victor.
33:51I mean, you can relate to that, can't you?
33:53We just want respect and love from our kids, right?
33:56I understand that now.
33:57Yeah.
33:57Mm-hmm.
33:58So,
33:59if I give you Chancellor,
34:02and in return,
34:03you release Jack and Lily and the twins,
34:06maybe my kids won't think I'm such a monster.
34:10And maybe then someone will not
34:11slam the door in your face.
34:15You heard about that?
34:17Oh, yeah.
34:18I know everything.
34:21Well, I mean,
34:22she didn't even open the door for me, so...
34:28Daniel won't talk to me.
34:30So,
34:31maybe my kids,
34:33by my doing this,
34:34maybe they will believe
34:36I have a heart.
34:38Mm-hmm.
34:41So,
34:41but you're willing to
34:42screw over Billy Boy.
34:46Well,
34:48why would you not do it?
34:50Because some of you
34:51are really something out here.
34:53Hmm?
34:57Give me an hour.
35:00An hour?
35:01Why would you want to wait?
35:02Do you think I'd trust you?
35:05You're kidding me or what?
35:07Victor.
35:07Yes.
35:09Seriously.
35:09Draw up the papers.
35:11And then we'll see.
35:15An hour.
35:16I'll give you an hour.
35:18And one thing.
35:21Don't ever start negotiating again
35:24on the dealership.
35:30Look, I hate to be a downer,
35:31but I seriously doubt
35:32he's going to get what he's after
35:33over a text.
35:34Well, it's better than doing nothing.
35:36Just think about it.
35:37Do you really think Victor
35:38is foolish enough
35:39to send proof
35:40that he kidnapped Dad
35:41over his phone?
35:43Not a chance.
35:45Maybe, just maybe,
35:46it gets us another meeting
35:48in person.
35:49Then I get the proof.
35:50I take that to Phyllis.
35:51She sees that.
35:52She signs the contracts.
35:53I get Chancellor.
35:54And Jack comes home.
35:55How about that?
35:56I just, I hate this.
35:58We're depending on Phyllis' humanity
36:00to win Jack's freedom.
36:04Is it from Victor?
36:06It's an unknown number,
36:07but there's an attachment.
36:11Well?
36:12Billy?
36:13It's a picture of Jack.
36:15What?
36:16It dates from yesterday
36:17and he looks unconscious.
36:18No.
36:19No, no.
36:19My God.
36:20Um.
36:21And then that shirt,
36:22that,
36:23that's what he was wearing
36:24the last time I saw him.
36:26Um.
36:27Hey, Dave, Dave,
36:28he's so close up
36:28I can't see where he is.
36:29Must be a burner phone.
36:31That's not connected to Victor.
36:32Well,
36:33there it is.
36:35We have our proof.
36:37A challenge.
36:40Your move.
36:46You make a very persuasive argument
36:48for redemption.
36:50For forgiveness.
36:53I am really glad
36:54to hear you say that.
36:56I have done my share
36:57of things
36:57that needed forgiveness.
36:59I
37:00probably had more than
37:02my share of
37:03second chances.
37:06So you see my point?
37:08I do.
37:13And I could see my way to
37:16believing you.
37:17Maybe even forgiving you.
37:21No, Jack.
37:23What that would mean to me...
37:25But it's gonna take more
37:26than just words.
37:29more than just lip service.
37:33Yes.
37:34I need you to get me
37:36out of this room.
37:37We'll go together.
37:39We'll go to shore.
37:41We'll go our separate ways.
37:43I'll go back to my wife
37:44and my family.
37:44You go back
37:45to this new
37:46human being
37:47you've become
37:48that you're so proud
37:49of building.
37:55I'm sorry.
37:58It's charming
38:00as you still are, Jack.
38:02And as generous
38:03as the offer is.
38:06I am afraid
38:07that's not an option.
38:09Wait, wait, wait, wait.
38:10Why not?
38:12Because I'm not
38:13the one enjoying you.
38:15I'm not the one enjoying you.
38:21loving you.
38:25Bye.
38:26Bye.
38:31Bye.
