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