00:00Come on in.
00:02Yeah, hey, thanks.
00:03Hey, you two.
00:05Look who's at the door.
00:07Laundry day?
00:08We've immersed ourselves in chores since we don't have jobs and we're bored.
00:12Next up, we're going to be doing DIY projects.
00:15We've had way too much time on our hands.
00:18Well, let's all hope we have jobs to go back to very soon.
00:22Yeah, or otherwise we're going to be hitting you up, Sharon, for positions at Cassidy first.
00:26Or Crimson Lights.
00:27I have no doubt that Newman Enterprises will be back in the family soon.
00:32It's rightful owner.
00:33Do you have an update to share with us?
00:36Actually, this concerns another nightmare this family is facing.
00:41We need your help.
00:58We need your help.
01:27Hey, I heard someone come in.
01:30Yeah, it's just me. I realize I left my sweater here.
01:34Yeah, it's in the bedroom.
01:36Oh, thank you.
01:39Sorry, I'm really thirsty. I should have called you when I was heading back from the office.
01:45I just came by and I have it.
01:48It's always better when you're here. And you have a key, and I hope you use it.
01:56Yeah. How are you?
01:59Better now.
02:00Any word on Jack? It's been a couple hours since I've seen you.
02:03Uh, yes. I reached out to Victor asking for proof that he's taken Jack, and unfortunately he gave it to
02:11me.
02:12And that bastard is not bluffing.
02:14He sent you something.
02:16A picture, Jack. He's unconscious or passed out or something.
02:20Oh, my God. Billy, um, are there any clues in the photos to where Jack is?
02:27Not in the photo. No, but Diane, Kyle, and I think we have a lead that we're going to follow.
02:35Well, so, you're leaving?
02:39Yeah, I'm leaving shortly, but please stay here, okay? I would love for you to.
02:46Okay. Uh, I mean, I mean, did the three of you reach out to Phyllis?
02:50Because I thought you were going to ask her to give you Chancellor to trade to Victor for Jack.
02:53Nothing from Phyllis. She's dragging her feet.
02:55Oh, my God. I mean, seriously?
02:57When Jack's life could be in danger, I knew it would be a long shot, but I could shake her.
03:01I get it. Trust me. I mean, I think she cares about Jack.
03:04I know she cares about Jack, but she also thinks that, you know, Victor is bluffing.
03:10It's not a real threat.
03:11Okay, well, it's easy for her to say when it's not her family member who's been taken.
03:14All she cares about right now is not giving up her newfound power.
03:17And in the meantime, I don't have control of Chancellor.
03:20So I've got nothing to offer Victor, so Jack's life is in Victor Newman's hands or Phyllis Summer's hands.
03:25What could be worse than that?
03:34Coffee, please.
03:40Phyllis!
03:42Nikki!
03:43Do you follow me here?
03:45You never answered my question.
03:47You and Victor just went into his study to talk about returning Chancellor.
03:51And you're here now because...
03:53What is Victor not telling me?
03:56You're asking me.
03:58Don't worry.
04:00Don't worry.
04:00Oh, oh, my mind.
04:03You don't have to worry.
04:04You know your husband.
04:06He'll take care of you and the rest of your family, no matter who else gets hurt in the process.
04:11Is somebody hurt?
04:13Nikki, don't worry about it.
04:15You're fine.
04:17You have plenty of money.
04:19You have a roof over your head.
04:21I'm sure your husband is hidden gold under the floorboard.
04:24Why is it so hard to get a straight answer out of you?
04:26It's not.
04:28If Victor has his way, you'll be running Chancellor by the end of the day, trust me.
04:32So hurrah for you.
04:34Why would you even agree to giving it back to us?
04:39Out of the goodness of my heart.
04:42Oh, no, that couldn't be it.
04:43For that to be true, you would have to have a heart.
04:45But you stood in front of me, looked at Victor and said, don't tell me Nikki doesn't know.
04:54What is it that I don't know, Phyllis?
04:56And why are you suddenly so interested in negotiating with Victor after you stole all of his companies right out
05:04from under him?
05:05What made you change your mind?
05:14Was there a way to maneuver Chancellor out from under Phyllis's control?
05:19Not unless she signs over the company to me.
05:22Well, I mean, we can't just give up.
05:24So what other options do we have?
05:25We bring Jack home ourselves.
05:27How?
05:28What lead do you have more Victor's keeping Jack?
05:30Diane and Kyle and I, we looked at the security footage for Jabot, and we feel like we pinpointed the
05:35vehicle that took him.
05:37Identifying characteristics?
05:38SUV, tinted windows, no plates, but there's a sticker in the windshield, West Shore Marina in Kenosha.
05:45So by Lake Michigan, let's drive a bull.
05:48So that's where you're headed.
05:50Yeah.
05:50I mean, it's the only thing we have, so we've got to follow it.
05:53Low stone unturned.
05:55I have no leverage.
05:56Not with Phyllis, not with Victor.
05:58So any league we have, we've got to follow, no matter how slim it is, because I cannot rely on
06:03Victor or Phyllis to do the right thing.
06:06You know, Nikki, I thought about it, and taking him in Enterprises, um, well, that was wrong.
06:14It was unfair of me to do that.
06:17Wow.
06:19That's quite the epiphany.
06:21Mm-hmm.
06:22Victor's been in the game for a really long time, and I realize you cannot teach an old dog new
06:28tricks.
06:29So you're saying you took pity on us.
06:33So you're here trying to get information from me because your husband won't be honest with you?
06:39So you're stalking me for information?
06:41I am owed an explanation.
06:43What do you care?
06:44You'll be running chancellor.
06:47That's what you want.
06:48Oh, did Victor tell you to say that?
06:50Because that sure does sound like him.
06:53If your husband is not giving you the full story, it's because he doesn't want you to know, Nikki.
07:00I mean, honestly, your dysfunctional relationship with your husband, it's not my problem.
07:06Stop it.
07:07I want you to tell me what is going on.
07:12Exactly what kind of game are you and Victor playing?
07:17Is this about Matt Clark?
07:20Unfortunately, yes.
07:22Well, Dad told me that he was set free.
07:24The judge threw out his case.
07:26It's unbelievable.
07:27Look, if this guy were smart, he would leave the country and never show his face again, but that is
07:32not Matt Clark's style.
07:34He started sending Noah and Nick texts, harassing them and taunting them.
07:39I'm so sorry.
07:41You both must be on edge knowing Matt's still out there.
07:43We just want to make sure our kids are safe.
07:47Well, what do you need?
07:48I mean, how can I help?
07:49We know Matt was dealing drugs out of the shadow room in L.A.
07:54Sienna, she wanted to help, so she started looking into things.
07:58She claims she wasn't aware of anything illegal going on when she and Matt were married, or at least not
08:04the extent of it.
08:05What has she uncovered?
08:07Anything?
08:07Um, turns out there is a drug ring that Matt is involved in.
08:14He was the L.A. contact, but he worked closely with a woman in Vegas.
08:18Her name was Risa.
08:23Risa?
08:25Yeah, and I remember you worked with a woman named Risa in Vegas when you were there as Spider, card
08:32-sharking for her.
08:34That was her name, right, Adam?
08:39Look, I'm sorry.
08:40I just really wasn't expecting you guys to mention this and her.
08:48You know, it's a part of my past that I really didn't want to revisit.
09:00So this woman, Risa, she may know where Matt is or is possibly hiding him.
09:05I met her when I came looking for you.
09:09We only interacted briefly, but we thought maybe you could help.
09:15We just want to know if maybe this could be the same person.
09:18Sure.
09:18Once I left Vegas, I made a decision to close that chapter behind me, okay?
09:23I didn't want to think about it.
09:25So the memories are a little spotty.
09:29That's understandable.
09:31Of course.
09:33But Risa, I mean, the person that I knew, she wasn't involved with drugs.
09:37At least not that I know of.
09:38She was a gambler.
09:39My handler, so to speak.
09:43I mean, she guided me as spider through backroom poker games all over town.
09:49You know, high-stakes stuff, big wins.
09:53And I was good at it.
09:56I mean, I guess she could have moved on to drug trafficking, but I have no idea.
10:01I'm sorry.
10:02I wish that I could be more help.
10:05No, it's okay.
10:06Adam, I mean, this is a great place for us to start.
10:09We'll take it from here.
10:12No, look.
10:14I want to be able to help you.
10:17Even if that means I have to revisit that time to do it.
10:29Do you want me to come with you?
10:31Because I can go grab a few things and be ready to go right away.
10:34No, honestly, it's, uh...
10:37Diane, Kyle, and I, we have it from here.
10:38I'd prefer to know that your home's safe and sound.
10:45Are you worried there might be trouble?
10:49I have no idea what we're about to get into.
10:52That's why I want you to stay here.
10:56I'm really sorry that your family is going through this and that Jack's life is in danger.
11:01Victor has seriously crossed a line.
11:03Well, that man is a maniac.
11:06We know what he's capable of, but I didn't think he'd go this far.
11:09Yeah, well, Victor has to be held accountable, because if anything happens to Jack...
11:13Don't believe me, Victor's not going to want to know my name if that happens.
11:18You were right.
11:21What do you mean?
11:23Unforeseen consequences.
11:25I mean, we knew with Victor losing Newman Enterprises and Chancellor, he was going to retaliate.
11:31I just didn't think that he would go this extreme.
11:33Yeah, but you had no way to predict this.
11:38I don't know.
11:40And now Jack is in danger because of the choices that I made.
11:43Hey, look, Cain's AI program hasn't helped.
11:46Its existence alone has brought out the worst in people.
11:51I am really sorry.
11:53No.
11:53No, I didn't mean that the way it's how I am.
11:55You're not wrong.
11:56An AI program brought out the worst in me.
11:58Ambition, greed, obsession.
12:02All of that.
12:03I mean, look, we're here right now, and I'm trying to earn back your trust.
12:05Really, do not worry about me, okay?
12:07Jack is the priority now.
12:08You are important, too, okay?
12:12The fact that you're here talking to me right now, that means a lot to me.
12:16Where else would it be?
12:19I just know if I stop moving, if I stop taking action, I start to think about the hours that
12:23Jack has been gone and the statistics that go along with that and the hell that he might
12:28be going through.
12:30Just, please, okay?
12:32Let's not go there.
12:34Jack needs you strong and focused.
12:39Jack is my greatest ally and the biggest thorn in my side, and I have pushed him away so
12:46many times in my life, and he just keeps coming back steadfast with his arms wide open, and
12:51it's very frustrating at times.
12:55But I also don't know what I would do without him.
12:59Well, Jack loves you unconditionally.
13:03I've got to make sure I honor that.
13:06You will.
13:10You always do.
13:12I hope to God, Phyllis comes through.
13:15At one point in her life, she cared about Jack.
13:19Yeah, well, maybe she just needs the stakes to sink in.
13:24I mean, knowing Phyllis, her next move could literally be anything.
13:28I really don't know if it's too much to hope that she just destroys Kane's AI program, at
13:33least, before it ruins anyone else's life.
13:36Let's hope so.
13:42Despite the risk, I do think that it is a good idea that you go look for Jack.
13:51Okay, but if anything comes up, please call me anytime, because I can do research.
13:56I can be a point of contact.
14:00Please check in.
14:02Okay, because otherwise I'm going to worry.
14:05I will.
14:07We're going to do whatever we can to get Jack home.
14:12Do you have all your insults in, Nikki?
14:14This conversation is over.
14:16Oh, no, it isn't.
14:17Not until I say it is.
14:19Well, it is over.
14:20I'm very busy.
14:21I'm running a multinational corporation.
14:26Phyllis.
14:27There you are.
14:28Have you spoken to Victor yet?
14:29Have you made the deal?
14:30Did he tell you where my father is?
14:32Why would Victor know where Jack is?
14:34What are you talking about?
14:36Oh, don't play dumb.
14:38She doesn't know.
14:39Victor hasn't told her.
14:40Oh, my God.
14:42Of course not.
14:43Why would he?
14:45I was with Tracy earlier, and she said that she couldn't get a hold of him.
14:51Are you saying that he's missing?
14:54Oh, Nikki, Jack's not just missing.
14:57He's been kidnapped, and Victor's responsible.
15:01What?
15:02That's right.
15:03Your husband is holding my husband against his will.
15:17What have I done?
15:19Just being you, for being here, for your calm presence.
15:22If it wasn't for you, I'd be doing this all on my own.
15:25Running headfirst into trouble.
15:26I'm sure Diane and Kyle would do their best to stop you, and the three of you should work together.
15:32And we are actually remarkably well under the circumstances.
15:36It's good, because there might be a lot of challenges involved in saving Jack.
15:42I'm prepared to do whatever I need to.
15:45Just remember that there are people who want you to come home safe, okay?
15:50That includes me.
15:52There's one thing I've learned.
15:54It's that when I share my life with someone, I need to be held accountable to them.
16:00Wow, smart man.
16:04I mean, in the meantime, I'm just going to distract myself from work.
16:10Correction, you're going to bolster your empire.
16:12Inspector Trials Media.
16:15Well, if I thought it would help, I would rip Victor apart on all of our platforms.
16:19Keep that in your back pocket.
16:22I'll go do everything I can to bring Jack home safe.
16:25Call you from connection, okay?
16:27Okay.
16:28Please.
16:31Good luck.
16:34I love you.
16:36I love you too.
16:46No, Adam, look, I appreciate the offer, but I don't want to force you to relive any painful memories.
16:52That's very kind of you, Nick.
16:54Yeah, thanks for looking out.
16:56Look, there's parts of my life in Vegas that I've stuffed down, that I've kind of blocked out.
17:02It was a time in your life you'd rather forget.
17:06But if I can point you two in the right direction, I want to do it.
17:10Do you remember Risa's last name?
17:15Thompson.
17:17It was Thompson.
17:19Right.
17:20How about an address?
17:21Anything like that?
17:23Uh, no, no, nothing is coming to me right now, but I'll think about it.
17:29Sorry.
17:30No, no, no, it's okay.
17:31It's not a problem.
17:32I appreciate it.
17:34You're going to keep digging, right?
17:37Matt Clark's got to be stopped.
17:39Okay, well, if you need backup, I know who to call.
17:51What the hell are you talking about?
17:53Let me spell it out for you.
17:55Victor told Billy to give him Chancellor or we would never see Jack again.
18:00My father was abducted in the Chabot parking garage.
18:03He left the house, went to work, and was never seen again.
18:07Well, have you talked to other people from the office?
18:10Maybe he got called out of town suddenly out of town.
18:12Nicky, we are way past that.
18:14He has been missing for almost 24 hours.
18:17His phone's not working.
18:18He's not answering any calls.
18:20Billy asked Victor for proof that he had Jack, and someone sent him a picture.
18:26Of my dad, unconscious.
18:29Oh, my God.
18:30Phyllis still has control of Chancellor, and we'll sign it over to Billy,
18:35so we have no way to bargain with Victor.
18:38You promised Billy, Chancellor, when you had your secret private negotiation with him.
18:45What's the holdup?
18:46Is that a question?
18:47Is it?
18:48I was being a neutral...
18:49Oh, you know what?
18:50I really shouldn't be surprised.
18:52The classic Phyllis stall.
18:54Your word means nothing.
18:56I'm not sure insulting me is the best course of action, Diane.
19:00What do you want from me?
19:01Huh?
19:01Do you want me to beg you to save my husband?
19:05Do you want me to grovel at your feet?
19:08Would that make you happy?
19:10Because I'll do it.
19:12Because, unfortunately, we need your help.
19:15So, yeah, I am begging you to do whatever it takes to save my husband.
19:21Is all this true?
19:28Billy told you what Victor wants.
19:30Chancellor, in exchange for Jack.
19:32Now, I don't know what kind of deal you're trying to make for yourself,
19:35but I will not allow you to endanger my husband to further your blind ambition.
19:40My ambition is irrelevant in this conversation.
19:42Phyllis, Billy begged you to do right by Jack,
19:46and you won't even return his calls.
19:49Dammit, Phyllis!
19:50Why didn't you tell me what was really going on?
19:53That's not my responsibility, Nikki.
19:55I'm going to go home now
19:57and figure out once and for all
20:00what Victor has done.
20:02Nikki,
20:04Jack almost died for you.
20:07Don't let him down.
20:10Make the deal, Phyllis.
20:13I will make sure Victor accepts the terms.
20:17Anything to get Jack back home.
20:28Well, well.
20:30Remis.
20:35Well, that wasn't the best idea.
20:38Going to Adam for help?
20:40Yeah, I mean, he seemed thrown when we asked him to remember his time in Vegas.
20:45He was living a completely different life then, as Spider.
20:49He was unaware of who he really was.
20:52Yeah, we stirred all that up for him.
20:56Do you remember what he was like when you found him in Vegas?
21:00He was confused, angry,
21:03as if Victor and I had upended his whole life,
21:07which, to be fair, I guess we did,
21:09telling him that he has a whole family that he doesn't remember.
21:13It's been traumatic, you know?
21:16I mean, we kind of forced him to remember all of that.
21:20If Matt's Risa is the same person that Spider knew,
21:25those memories could lead us to Matt,
21:28and that opens up an entire world
21:30that we would have otherwise not had access to.
21:33I just, I don't know.
21:35I feel like we, uh...
21:38I just don't feel comfortable asking him to do this for us.
21:41Well, we can proceed without his help.
21:45It seemed to me that he wants to do this for you.
21:49For me or for you?
21:52He looks up to you, Nick.
21:55Of course he wants to offer his support,
21:57and that's a good thing.
21:58I'm happy that you two are getting along,
22:00and I think your dad would be too.
22:03That wasn't always the case.
22:05No, Adam's transition from Spider back to the Newman family was not easy,
22:10and I wasn't sure that your family would ever find a way to become whole again.
22:16You know, you have always been amazing,
22:21trying to find the best in him.
22:24Yeah, I have.
22:25But I also realize that he is responsible for much of the negativity that's been aimed at him.
22:32Yes, he has suffered, and he's been hurt, but he's also been a lot wrong.
22:38Well, he's definitely made a lot of strides in becoming a better person.
22:42And clearly, being with Chelsea and Connor has really helped with that.
22:46I agree.
22:48I would hate it if Adam risked all of that just because he wanted to help us get rid of
22:54Matt.
23:03I get why Victor wanted us to meet.
23:07Why do you think that is?
23:10Evidently, you are the only person who thinks there's anything worth redeeming in Adam Newman.
23:17I don't think I'm the only one who thinks that.
23:21Look, the Newman family is complex, and there's going to be tension, but...
23:27I was at your memorial service.
23:30And the regret and the sadness that was sincere.
23:36I think that everybody would be grateful to have another chance to do better,
23:42just to heal, even if a little bit.
23:44Look, I gotta say, that sounds exhausting.
23:48Does being alone sound better?
23:50I have a life here.
23:52What about real connection?
23:55Human connection?
23:57I mean, I know you've got Risa, but is there anyone else?
24:02I mean, what else fills your day in this apartment?
24:05I like it.
24:07It's soulless, Adam, and that's not you.
24:11I mean, I'm still an actual person.
24:15I mean, I might have the same memories as you do, but this is my life.
24:21There's nothing here, Adam.
24:24There's no pictures.
24:25There's no mementos.
24:26There's no personality.
24:28Well, maybe I'm just a boring guy.
24:31I don't care how much you've forgotten.
24:32You're not capable of being boring.
24:36And you deserve more than this.
24:38Well, from what I read, the guy used to be deserves to get run over by a truck.
24:42Adam, don't.
24:45Leave that guy in the past.
24:49Okay, fine.
24:51I will.
24:53Come to Genoa City.
24:56And this is you trying to bluff again?
24:58No, I mean it.
25:00Come home and reconnect.
25:03At least try.
25:06If you hate it or if it means nothing to you, I'm sure this apartment and the poker table will
25:10be waiting for you.
25:13One week.
25:14If I say I'll think about it, can we end this conversation?
25:20Say it and mean it.
25:25I will think about it.
25:29Seriously.
25:30That's all I can ask.
25:47Is Connor all right?
25:49Filthy.
25:49From baseball practice.
25:51He's getting himself cleaned up.
25:53He's going to start on his homework.
25:54Apparently, he slid into home base and scored.
25:59Wow.
25:59He's down in the dirt and everything?
26:01Yeah.
26:02He's very, very, very proud of himself.
26:04I told him he needs to tell us the whole story at dinner.
26:08What an incredible kid.
26:10Yeah.
26:11He's pretty great.
26:15Right now, I'm more worried about his dad.
26:19God, he's funny.
26:22I just brought up Spider when we were joking about the alternate career options in there.
26:29Guard sharks in Monte Carlo.
26:31I was light about it, but to be honest, I don't like to think about that period of my life.
26:37I wish it didn't exist.
26:39I can relate.
26:40There are many difficult memories from my past.
26:43I don't want to think back on it.
26:47Certainly not in a serious way.
26:50Well, we joke about the cons we pulled, the personas we embodied.
26:55Yeah, but Adam, I don't think we need to hide from the deeper stuff, right?
27:00I mean, what is it that we tell Connor?
27:02In order to get out, you need to go through.
27:05The bad moments don't define you, so you don't have to dwell on it.
27:08Your character is what's important.
27:10All the things that happen to us in our lives, the little character, they make us who we are.
27:16The good stuff and the bad.
27:19I just, I don't think it's a good idea that I face this part of my life.
27:24I'm worried that it could be detrimental.
27:29Are you afraid the darker parts of your past may resurface?
27:37It's not reliving my time as Spider that worries me.
27:42It's what I had to block out to become Spider.
27:45The old Adam.
27:47You know, the things that I had done.
27:50It was a really tough time for you.
27:54Yeah.
27:55And when I had to face all that, I mean, after Sharon and my dad found me.
28:01Yeah.
28:01You're afraid this will dredge all that up.
28:04And you've come so far since then, Adam.
28:07You know, you've rebuilt your life, connected with your family.
28:11But it's not like I have to go back to being who I was back then.
28:14Yeah, but sometimes situations or people or memories can bring us back to being those versions of yourself.
28:20I get it.
28:22Nobody wants to stir those memories up again if you've moved past them.
28:27Well, Nick just wants information, so it shouldn't be a big deal.
28:30If it is, that's okay, Adam.
28:33If this is triggering for you, don't ignore that.
28:36I just...
28:37Why the connection?
28:39It's so random.
28:41Maybe the woman they're looking for isn't the reason you once knew.
28:48True.
28:52I'm here.
28:54And I love you.
28:56You're not going to go through this alone.
28:58I know you are, and I appreciate that.
29:03But if this turns out to be the same person,
29:07there's another thing that bothers me about this.
29:20No one's trying to push you.
29:24We both know that's not true.
29:26Victor has been on me nonstop,
29:28forcing me to go to sessions and talk about my thoughts and feelings.
29:33He's hoping that will help.
29:35Who?
29:35Because I'll be honest with you, none of this is making my life better.
29:43I don't know, but maybe that's the wrong perspective.
29:45I mean, the man is clearly grieving the son he lost.
29:55I don't know how much you've read, but...
30:00Well, that doesn't sound at all foreboding.
30:02You and Victor did have a complex relationship,
30:06but there was a lot of affection there.
30:09And there was a level of competition, too.
30:12And there were times when you brought out the worst in each other.
30:15You see that?
30:17Right there.
30:18What?
30:19You just validated my instincts.
30:21This is my life, what I have, right here and now.
30:24Only safe bets leave the past in the past.
30:34Thanks.
30:36You know, I was thinking...
30:39About Adam?
30:41There was a reason he became Spider in the first place.
30:46After that explosion, when he woke up, he didn't remember who he was.
30:51Yeah, we all thought he died.
30:53It was like his psyche blocked out who he was and what he'd done.
30:58Yeah, escaping from prison.
31:01Delia.
31:02And then when he found out who he really was, that was traumatic, too.
31:08But you were really there for him.
31:10You know, you helped him with his process when he started regaining all his memories.
31:13Well, Victor asked me to help Adam, and I was glad to do so.
31:17I wanted to do whatever I could to remind him of the family he had in his prior life, and
31:25believe that there was something good to look forward to.
31:29And now we've asked him to remember all of that.
31:32I just never considered all the implications for Adam.
31:36You know, he's dealt with so many challenges, and I just would hate it if he had a setback
31:42because of that.
31:42No, what I was thinking is, he is strong.
31:47Look at how far he has come, and that was because we pushed him then.
31:52You know what?
31:53If a few old memories come up, that's nothing he can't handle.
31:56If he wants to help, that's his choice, and I get the sense that he's going to follow
32:02this all the way through, whether we like it or not.
32:06You might be right.
32:08If we could just find Matt, with or without Adam's assistance, we could finally put an
32:15end to his reign of terror, and not just for us.
32:20For all the people that we love.
32:26Nikki just found out what Victor's up to.
32:29Apparently, she was in the dark.
32:30She usually is when it comes to her husband's worst tendencies, and here you are.
32:33You seem to be avoiding me, Phyllis.
32:35I'm very busy.
32:36Yeah?
32:36Mm-hmm.
32:37Doing what?
32:37Dottling the I's, crossing the T's on the contract?
32:39It's simple.
32:39You signed Chancellor over to me.
32:41Actually, no, Billy, it's not that simple.
32:44I've been talking to Victor.
32:47I'm working on it, okay?
32:49I'm sorry.
32:50Are you planning on exchanging Chancellor for Jack yourself?
32:53Or play games, and try to get a better arrangement out of the situation.
32:57You already own Newman Enterprises.
33:00What more do you want?
33:01Victor is the holdup.
33:03Why?
33:04Listen, I pushed Victor to make the deal.
33:07He's changed the terms.
33:08He wants everything.
33:09He wants Newman Media, Newman Enterprises, Chancellor, all of it.
33:13So what?
33:15Jack's life could be on the line.
33:17Make the deal, Phyllis.
33:19Give Victor everything.
33:27Nick and Sharon brought up a part of your past that's painful.
33:31What else is upsetting you?
33:34It's not just the memories.
33:36It's this weird coincidence that somehow my past may be connected to Nick and Sharon's current nightmare.
33:44And not to mention Noah Sienna.
33:46I mean, all of that just makes me uneasy.
33:48Okay, but we can't be certain that your past in Vegas has anything to do with Matt Clark.
33:53But it is possible.
33:55And I might be able to help find that connection.
33:58It's just...
33:59It's a thread that I want to pull on.
34:02You get to decide.
34:04And if you don't want to get involved, they'll understand.
34:08The irony is, when Matt Clark resurfaced, I didn't even know who the hell he was.
34:13And now...
34:14We may be linked.
34:18Through Riza.
34:21No.
34:22If what I know can help get this monster out of Nick and Sharon's life, then I owe it to
34:28them to help.
34:29Okay.
34:30Sounds like your mind's made up.
34:32Almost.
34:34So then what has you most concerned?
34:36That by pulling on this thread, it's going to drag us all down.
34:40Into that monster cell.
34:44I am worried about Adam, but I'm also worried about you.
34:49And the danger that you might be willing to put yourself in so that you can handle Matt on your
34:54own.
34:55Well, I don't suppose if I told you not to worry, that that would do any good.
34:58What do you think?
35:00It's just the texts to Noah are getting relentless and cruel.
35:04Matt thinks he's won.
35:05He needs to be stopped.
35:06Will you go back to L.A. to try to lure Matt out with more money?
35:11Look, I can't make you any promises that I'm not going to go out there on my own and try
35:14and find Matt.
35:15Well, I really wish that you wouldn't.
35:17What are we supposed to do?
35:19There isn't anyone we can turn to.
35:20All the charges against Matt have been dropped.
35:23The police have made it very clear they can't help us.
35:26Unless Matt does something else, like commits another crime.
35:29It's obvious that Matt is never going to leave us alone, Sharon.
35:40What is it?
35:41Is it Matt?
35:43Yes.
35:44Let me see.
35:45No, Sharon, I don't want to show you, okay?
35:47The texts are getting worse and worse.
35:50There must be a way out.
35:52There is.
35:53Matt needs to be handled.
35:55And I am not afraid to do whatever it takes to get Matt Clark out of our lives for good.
36:03Calm down, Diane.
36:04I have this under control.
36:05Don't play games with my dad's life, Phyllis.
36:08I'm not doing that, Kyle.
36:10I'm trying to negotiate right now.
36:12I'm not going to be strong-armed by Victor.
36:15And I'm not going to be bullied by you guys into something that I don't want to do.
36:18Phyllis, Jack is in danger, okay?
36:20You seem to be fine to just let him suffer.
36:22I'm not fine.
36:24Victor's not going to do anything to Jack.
36:27Unless he's out of options.
36:28Oh, well, that's a comforting thought.
36:29What do you think he's going to do?
36:31Victor's going to kill Jack?
36:32You don't know that he won't.
36:34Oh, absolutely not.
36:35He won't do that.
36:36You want to give up as little as possible and keep as much as you can.
36:40You don't give a damn what happens to my father.
36:42That is absolutely not true.
36:44The rules are reversed right now.
36:45Jack would never let you suffer.
36:47He would not leave you stranded.
36:49Let's go.
36:50This is getting us nowhere.
36:51What are you going to do?
36:52We're going to get Jack ourselves because you're no help.
36:54And if anything happens to him, it's on you, Phyllis.
37:06Victor!
37:14I know you're in this house.
37:18The Abbot's just told me that you have Jack.
37:22And all about the deal that you're trying to make with Phyllis.
37:31And now, you're going to have to deal with me.
37:53And now, you're going to have to deal with.
