05:46we'll do our best to stay out of your way
05:51i didn't realize that you two were
05:56cohabitating
05:57it's new
05:59very new
06:01as in like right now
06:03huh
06:05well
06:06congratulations
06:09uh
06:11things
06:11seem to be going well for you two
06:15they are
06:16so we decided it was time to take the next step
06:20well good for you
06:24i just um
06:26i didn't think you would
06:27want to come back here
06:29philip
06:31given what happened last time
06:34well i'm optimistic it'll go a lot better this time
06:40hope springs eternal
06:41right
06:42and hey your mom was cool with it
06:46mm-hmm
06:48and xander
06:51how did he react
06:53how did he react
06:55haven't told him yet
06:58huh
07:00this was really just a
07:02legal issue
07:03i mean as soon as we discovered that
07:06bonnie's one rainy afternoon
07:08was a clear-cut case of plagiarism
07:09right
07:10he vowed a lawsuit
07:11just like that
07:13we couldn't let it slide
07:14surely you understand us wanting to block
07:17publication of bonnie's apparent fraud of a book
07:20no i can't
07:21because johnny was the object
07:24wasn't he
07:26he was a valued titan employee
07:28on loan to dimera
07:29which was always a risky proposition given his divided loyalties
07:34so you only hired him
07:35because you were hell-bent
07:37on sticking it to ej
07:39and because i had faith in his abilities
07:41hmm
07:43you are aware that he believes that this was a setup right
07:47that you would have him published bonnie's book
07:50and then
07:51you would go in and
07:53sue dimera for plagiarism
07:56i'm aware that's his claim yes
08:00well
08:01is it true
08:08i promise
08:09i mean if i knew that bonnie's book was basically just
08:12a copy of yours
08:14i never would have bought the rights
08:16and i'll admit you know
08:19some of it was was you know due to in part to my ego
08:23i wanted to
08:25leave my mark
08:26on dimera before i went back to titan
08:30i really am sorry
08:32stuff especially
08:33because now there's this lawsuit that
08:36i'm sure you're gonna be dragged into
08:38and after everything you've been through
08:40it's just
08:43i appreciate your apology johnny
08:46but i'll be okay
08:49just know that i am going to protect you
08:52in any way that i can
08:53and i will not let this affect your writing career
08:58it doesn't matter
08:59i don't have a writing career anymore
09:07so
09:08i don't think johnny's going to be returning to
09:11titan
09:15why not
09:16well
09:17i'm gonna let him explain that to you but
09:19you know i was thinking
09:21titan is barely staying afloat
09:23but maybe it's better that he stays at tamira
09:27so he he would uh...
09:29he would still stay there even after a seal comes back
09:32oh
09:33i don't know maybe i got that wrong like i said you should really talk to him
09:37i will
09:40so um... anyway what was the situation at titan that you wanted to talk about
09:46well brady is uh... brady is leaving basic luck
09:49oh yes yes of course
09:51and of course that's that's important but
09:55um...
09:56we want to make sure that
09:58basic black stays in the family
10:01yeah
10:01well that's understandable i mean the company meant
10:04it meant so much to john
10:08um...
10:08yeah
10:10and
10:11they have
10:12asked me to uh...
10:15kind of step into the business
10:16what?
10:17wow
10:18are you going to give up your practice?
10:20no no no no i would just be
10:23consulting
10:24that's all i i know that
10:27you and john created the business
10:30so
10:33so
10:35i was wondering
10:38if you would like to step in and help me run basic black
10:47so your brother
10:49doesn't know
10:50you're moving in here
10:53hey i'm not hiding it from him
10:55i'd just rather not have him stomp all over my good news
10:59translation
10:59you're not going out of your way to poke the bear
11:01look it's not my fault xander's not welcome in the family abode
11:08if you say so
11:11i thought you said that you and xander were getting along again
11:16we are
11:19most of the time
11:20hmm
11:22well
11:23let's just hope that when xander does
11:26find out
11:28the old xander doesn't make a comeback
11:32i'm sure it's much easier for johnny to blame kate and me than to acknowledge his incompetence
11:36no it's not about incompetence
11:39see i think that you and kate knowing that johnny was a bit naive
11:43came up with his plan to exploit that
11:46i'm not sure
11:48oh no
11:50according to johnny that manuscript was left in the location
11:54where he would be sure to see it
11:56and he gave her her blessings
11:58sight unseen
12:00and you expect me to believe that that was just happenstance
12:04you can believe whatever you want i need
12:07ah
12:09this is what i'm going to tell you
12:11is that
12:11if you and kate did set up johnny
12:14to go down for this
12:15you crossed the line
12:19not just how you treated him
12:22but how it affects stephanie and bonnie
12:25sorry bonnie
12:26i'm supposed to feel sympathy for bonnie after you
12:28she plagiarized stephanie's work on
12:31bonnie's family
12:33and that's not how we conduct business
12:36that's not how i conduct business
12:38and that is exactly why
12:40you aren't fit to run this company maggie
12:42you have neither the grit
12:44or the guts
12:45to keep titan afloat
12:55so you want us to run basic black
12:58i mean you
13:01is that a crazy idea
13:05no i mean i'm flattered
13:08but i know that the publishing
13:11division keeps you very busy
13:12you know actually
13:14actually i'm honest
13:15i could find a way to work that out
13:19really
13:19i would love to work with you
13:24that makes me so happy
13:27shall we toast
13:30to our partnership
13:31yes
13:32to our partnership
13:33yes
13:41no one will write anymore
13:45it was fun while it lasted
13:47but every chapter's gotta come to an end right
13:51i just thought you promised kate
13:53kate will understand
13:55she'll have to
14:00you know i should
14:02i should probably get going i promise
14:04janelle i'd pick up dinner
14:06well thank you for stopping by johnny
14:08and for the beautiful flowers
14:10of course i'm uh
14:11i'm glad you're feeling better
14:12and then seriously
14:14don't beat yourself up about the book
14:17yeah i'll uh
14:19i'll try
14:20all right um
14:21take care
14:22stephan is
14:23it's good to see you all
14:24we'll see you johnny
14:36that's it
14:38you don't want to write
14:40ever again
14:44maybe someday i'll get back to it
14:48but right now
14:51you know
14:51the idea of telling someone else's love story
14:56digging into that emotion
15:00the joy
15:01and the pain
15:05i just can't do it anymore
15:12if you're worried about xander doing something violent
15:15of course i'm worried about xander doing something violent
15:18but you know how hard he's worked on his anger issues
15:20the therapy with marlena
15:21i also know that he is one setback away from going back to square one
15:29listen i know i'm not a member of this family and lord knows that i've had my issues with xander
15:33but
15:34i think you should give him the benefit of the doubt
15:37i mean he's moving on from what i've heard
15:40he's in a new relationship
15:42right with gwen
15:44i don't think anybody's putting that in a positive column
15:48i'm just saying
15:50you know i'm sure he's got more important things to worry about than where philip is living in the phone
15:55maybe he won't care at all
15:56or maybe you two have blinders on and he'll go completely ballistic and turn this entire house into a war
16:02zone
16:03after i found out that you had assaulted philip
16:06i made it perfectly clear you could be ceo with a name only
16:10but then i watched you slowly regain power
16:14and i foolishly let it happen
16:18because of the state the company was in
16:21but let's be honest maggie i mean
16:23you couldn't stop me even if you wanted to
16:26are you sure about that
16:31i
16:32didn't have to keep the secret
16:34i could have gone public
16:37and if they would have found out what you did to philip
16:40you would have been
16:43you would have been out
16:45i suppose that's true isn't it
16:47but isn't it
16:48all so true that you'd be bringing down titan if you did that
16:52because everything would come out
16:53how philip used that forged letter to worm his way back to the top
16:57how you and sarah covered it all up
17:01tell me maggie
17:03am i right about that
17:05they were all complicit
17:09so i guess we're a standoff
17:12neither of us wants to be
17:15responsible for victor's company going belly up
17:17but you're all out of moves maggie
17:19not that you really had any to begin with
17:22oh i see where this is going
17:26you thought because sarah gave you visitation rights
17:31that you didn't have to play nice with the family anymore
17:34i'm the only one doing what's necessary for this family
17:38i am victor would understand it
17:40the hell he would
17:43he would see that you're deluding yourself
17:45and how exactly am i doing that
17:47oh isn't it perfectly obvious
17:50i mean you thought that the mirror would settle this lawsuit
17:53with a quick payout
17:55so you would be back in the black
17:57but john refused to sell
18:00so now we missed the deadline
18:02on the last payment
18:04so everything you did
18:06is just for naught
18:09but don't worry maggie
18:10i already made that payment
18:15what?
18:17how?
18:22i liquidated a few assets
18:24and found the cash i needed to make the payment
18:27what assets?
18:28i sold a few of our giant crawler cranes
18:31that are just sitting on the docks down in south america
18:35and when did you do that?
18:38oh about a week ago i think
18:42i'm assuming you have the bill of sale
18:44for those cranes
18:47who the buyers were
18:48and the asking price
18:50what are you so worried about maggie?
18:53it's only up and up
18:56the hell it was
18:57the hell it was
19:00you're lying
19:03are you disappointed in me?
19:06for giving up writing?
19:11i could never be disappointed in you
19:15but i know the titan was expecting a bestseller
19:19and i wanna help
19:20i just
19:21i can't
19:23stephanie
19:23the last thing that you need to worry about
19:26is titan
19:30but i know that things are tough over there
19:32and now with this lawsuit
19:33alex
19:35i'm letting you down

19:39we will be fine
19:41are you sure?
19:42are you sure?
19:52i almost lost you stuff

21:21Sarah hang on
21:26since we're going to be living under the same roof again
21:29i want to start things out on the right foot this time
21:35what i said earlier about it not being my fault
21:37xander's no longer allowed to live here
21:40i know that wasn't true
21:41of course it's my fault
21:44we don't need to get into this now
21:48it's okay
21:50gabby knows all about the forged letter
21:54what?
21:56philip told me everything
22:00gabby and i don't have secrets from each other
22:02oh that's nice
22:04an honesty pack
22:05too bad discretion couldn't have made the cut
22:09sorry you're offended
22:11by my being transparent with my girlfriend
22:15but i happen to believe
22:17and i thought you did too
22:18Sarah
22:19that when you're committed
22:21to each other
22:23you're also committed to
22:24being completely honest
22:27to sharing everything
22:30it's the only way it can work
22:33right gabby?
22:36right
22:37definitely
22:45do you know how i know you're lying?
22:49i looked into selling those cranes
22:51a few weeks ago
22:53is that right?
22:55mhm
22:56and i was told they were locked into contracts with the docs
23:00and it would cost a whole lot more
23:02to break those contracts
23:04than the sales price
23:06how do you research on you?
23:08mhm
23:09i'm right
23:11see
23:11you should be so embarrassed
23:13it's taken all this time
23:15and you still haven't learned
23:17not to underestimate me
23:20oh i see you exactly
23:23as you are maggie
23:26and i see you as you are
23:29xander
23:31and it tears me apart
23:32to see the damage you've caused
23:34not to others
23:35but to yourself
23:38now
23:40that we've got all the lies out in the open

24:12you kept your hands clean
24:17does philip know what you did?
24:20who says i did anything?
24:23don't play coy
24:26you made a huge mistake by laundering money
24:28through titan
24:31especially considering
24:32the state that titan is in already

30:47is that upset you
30:51well i can see from the grim expressions on all your faces that you certainly assumed it would
30:56well i certainly consider the possibility
30:59while i appreciate that i still loom large in all your minds
31:02uh
31:03i don't live here anymore
31:05my opinion doesn't matter
31:07although
31:08one word of advice
31:11avoid the sourdough at breakfast
31:13anderson always puts in the toaster too soon so by the time it gets to it's cold and dry
31:19we will thanks for letting us know
31:26okay we're gonna head up to our room and get settled i'm sure you're eager to see victoria
31:32give my niece a kiss for me
31:41is uh victoria audio says with the nanny
31:44yeah yeah yeah she's with ryan i know she'll be excited to see you uh xander
31:53i i am i'm really sorry i misjudged your reaction
31:59i'm actually very impressed
32:02it's like i said
32:04i don't live here anymore
32:07so my opinion doesn't matter
32:09however i do find it interesting
32:12who maggie decides to double out forgiveness to
32:21this is kate roberts leave a message
32:27kate don't ignore me
32:30i just had a conversation with xander
32:32and i am appalled
32:35by what is going on with this company
32:40so it turns out that kate and xander knew all along the book can be considered derivative
32:59of course i didn't and i told him that
33:03and actually roman i kind of resent you assuming the worst of me when i can explain everything
33:12i'm waiting
33:16sorry excuse me john
33:19we'll talk to you about that for a second
33:21yeah sure
33:30look
33:31i'm really sorry that johnny feels this way
33:36but i did nothing unethical per company policy i never read that manuscript
33:44and i thought i was doing johnny a favor when i gave him my blessings to publish it
33:51i did not set him up
33:54i sure as hell hope not
33:59you're staying with demira
34:03uh i haven't given theo my official answer yet but
34:08he's resigning so why would he do that i don't know said it was personal
34:17and you're staying on as ceo
34:20i'd like to stick around clean up the mess i made
34:24in spite of everything i feel like demira needs me right now
34:30and what does your wife say
34:34i haven't told her yet
34:40you remember what happened when you decided on your own not to adopt tray
34:49i'm thinking maybe you should talk to her
34:51i know i know and i i will i'm not gonna make the same mistake twice and she does know
34:57about the
34:57lawsuit so oh that's a good start
35:03what if she's not okay with me wanting to stay
35:11well you'll just have to figure that out i guess
35:18i gotta say i like this place a whole lot better than the demira pilot bricks
35:25because you get to be here with me
35:27well that is the main reason also helps that ej doesn't live here
35:33wish i could say shade kiriakis is drama free but
35:38at least no one's been shot here
35:42not recently anyway
35:45well i guess the bar is set pretty low
35:48kind of
35:51so
35:53how should we celebrate our first night in this house of sunshine and rainbows
35:59i was thinking maybe uh popcorn in a movie
36:09i mean that sounds fine
36:11you have a better idea
36:16i might
36:18yeah
36:18yeah
36:24yeah
36:25yeah
36:30yeah
36:31yeah
36:31yeah
38:03Tell me what I can do to keep you safe. You say the word.
38:07That's just it. There's nothing that you can do that you haven't already done.
38:15We had police guarding our apartment.
38:18My dad moved in here with us and still Owen got to me.
38:24I can't rely on you or my dad or the cops or anyone else to protect me.
38:31I have to feel confident that I can protect myself.
38:38So what does that mean?
38:42I want to get a gun, Alex.
38:46And I want to learn how to use it.
38:47I want to learn how to use it.
38:55I want to learn how to use it.
