00:12What?
00:14Oh my goodness.
00:26Congratulations on your new and exciting chapter.
00:30It's an honor to be on this journey with you.
00:33All my love from your favorite admirer, Michael.
00:38It's true.
00:44There is no one in the entire world who could possibly admire you more than me.
00:51You are the sweetest, most handsome, kindest.
00:58Keep it going.
00:58Most thoughtful.
00:59I can take it.
01:00Yeah.
01:01How did you pull this off? You have to tell me.
01:04Oh, I am a man of talent and mystery.
01:07That's right. You are the king of the romantic gesture.
01:11I wanted to surprise you.
01:13And I know you're incredibly busy with this new adventure, partnering with Phyllis, running a multinational conglomerate.
01:25Which, by the way, looks good on you.
01:33I just thought I should remind you how much I adore you.
01:41Always time for romance, right?
01:50Take the sofa here.
01:52Okay.
01:53Thank you for meeting me.
01:54Oh, of course.
01:55Well, I mean, I'm staying just upstairs.
02:01So, how are you doing?
02:03Are you all right?
02:05Are these ridiculous questions?
02:07I could ask you the same things.
02:10I would have the same answers.
02:12I think I just needed to vent.
02:15You seem to be the only person in my life who really understands what I'm going through.
02:20I feel the same.
02:22We can take turns.
02:24Any progress with you and Victor?
02:27No.
02:28Our latest go-around was the worst yet.
02:31The most painful.
02:33I am sorry.
02:35I truly am.
02:37We are at a standstill.
02:39He won't budge.
02:41Neither will I.
02:42I...
02:43I...
02:44I don't know what to do next.
02:46I mean, I am completely at a loss.
02:47So am I.
02:49And I cannot stand being in this position.
02:52There's got to be some way out of this for both of us.
02:55Only one is working on his brother.
03:02He isans I.
03:04In the city of Florida.
03:09They are Romans.
03:13We live in this place, ever again.
03:13In the city of Florida.
03:32Sharon. Hey. It's Chelsea.
03:36Where are you? Did you go to Vegas?
03:39I did. I'm here. I'm actually in Adam and Nick's hotel room.
03:43How is everything? I'm hoping that your bad premonition turned out to be just a false alarm.
03:52Nick is missing.
03:56Missing? For how long? Is Matt there? Have you seen him?
04:01Yeah, he was here. He took Adam to where he believes Nick was last seen.
04:06That sounds like a trap. It's another one of Matt's twisted games.
04:13Adam hasn't come back yet, but I'm sure I'll hear from him soon.
04:16Chelsea, we don't know if Nick is all right. Is that what you're saying?
04:21Nick?
04:21I don't know.
04:53Oh, damn you.
04:55That cork.
04:58Nick?
05:00Oh, yeah, wake up, Nick.
05:02Hey, hey, Nick.
05:05Come on.
05:08Nick.
05:09God, I don't know.
05:10Go, please.
05:11Nick, wake up.
05:12Come on, please.
05:13You can't be dead.
05:14Nick, come on.
05:16Wake up.
05:18Oh, there you go.
05:18Thank God.
05:19Thank God.
05:20Here, come on.
05:22There.
05:23Oh, there you go.
05:26Oh.
05:28Oh.
05:29Adam?
05:30Yeah, it's me.
05:33What?
05:39My hands are tied.
05:40Can you help me?
05:42Yeah.
05:42Yeah, a lot.
05:45Oh, God.
05:47Oh, Nick.
05:49Where are we?
05:49Oh, we're in a room at the hotel.
05:55Oh.
05:56Oh.
05:58What are you doing here?
06:00Oh, I came to get you.
06:05How'd you find me?
06:08Matt was gracious enough to bring me.
06:12Told me and Chelsea that you OD'd and died.
06:17He said you had a very serious addiction problem.
06:22From the looks of it, he may be right.
06:33Didn't have to go to office trouble.
06:35But I'm so glad you did.
06:37You deserve it.
06:38And more.
06:39Well, do I sound presumptuous if I agree?
06:43Great minds think alike.
06:45Oh, my goodness.
06:47What have you done now?
06:48Open it.
06:50Okay.
06:58It's a watch, but with no hands.
07:02Is this on purpose?
07:04No, but there's a reason for that.
07:06Uh, now that you're busier,
07:09I wanted to remind you that we
07:13still have all the time
07:15in the world.
07:18Our love is timeless.
07:22So, when you're here at work,
07:24I will be counting the minutes
07:28till we're together again.
07:29But you don't have to rush home to see me.
07:33We're never really apart.
07:36I believe in you.
07:38And I wish you every success
07:40in this new venture.
07:42And not a moment
07:46will go by
07:48when I don't support you
07:50in every way possible.
07:56Sounds like Victor
07:57is every bit as stubborn as Diane.
08:00She still won't talk to you?
08:02I have tried everything.
08:04I have texted her.
08:05I have sent letters.
08:06I have sent every flower
08:08in Genoa City to her suite,
08:09hoping to get through to her,
08:11hoping to help her get past
08:12this pain that I caused her.
08:14None of it works.
08:16I'm sorry.
08:18I know she's in pain.
08:20I'm in pain, too.
08:21I am killing myself
08:23trying to appeal to her.
08:27Well, I went to talk to her
08:30to try to knock some sense
08:32into her head.
08:33Well, that was a bold move.
08:35Um, dare I ask how things went?
08:39She said she appreciated
08:41what I was trying to do,
08:43but she doubted my sincerity,
08:46so she kicked me out,
08:48slammed the door in my face.
08:49Ouch.
08:50You know things are bad
08:51when I try to get through to Diane.
08:55It was a noble effort.
08:56You're a good friend.
08:58So are you.
09:02Well, here we are.
09:04You and your wife
09:05not speaking to each other,
09:07my husband and I not speaking.
09:09Yeah, a strange one
09:10is not for the faint of heart.
09:12Yeah, that's for sure.
09:15So where do we go from here?
09:17I don't know.
09:19But I'm not ready to give up.
09:22Well, maybe if we put our heads together
09:24and just start throwing out ideas,
09:26maybe one of them won't stick.
09:29Well, I am out of options,
09:32so you start.
09:36So Matt took Adam to see Nick
09:39and no one has been heard from since?
09:41I'm going to wait to talk to Adam
09:43before I come up with any dire assumptions.
09:46I don't like that Matt came into the room
09:49to gloat and then Adam walked off with him.
09:52I don't like it either.
09:53I agree with you on that,
09:55but Adam wanted to go with Matt
09:56and he couldn't be stopped.
09:58They wouldn't let me go with them.
10:00Now I'm starting to get a bad feeling too.
10:09Hey, easy.
10:11But he's easy.
10:15Yeah, then that's a good call.
10:16I think the floor is going to be where it's at for now.
10:20Yeah, I think I want to stay down here
10:22for a little while too.
10:25Then I'll try to get us out of here.
10:29You said that brought you here?
10:33Yeah, he told me and Chelsea that
10:35he OD'd trying to score some drugs.
10:39We didn't believe it, though.
10:41We insisted it was true,
10:42so I demanded that he take me to you.
10:45He brought me here.
10:46I saw you on the ground trying to help you.
10:49And that's when he must have knocked me out.
10:52Now we're here.
10:55Thanks for coming.
10:58Anytime.
11:03You said Chelsea's in Vegas?
11:06She's worried about me.
11:07She couldn't get in touch with me.
11:11Is Sharon too?
11:12No.
11:14Good.
11:17You know, Matt made quite the claims
11:19about you buying drugs off the street.
11:21It sounded pretty convincing.
11:28I just...
11:29You know, I just tell you stories.
11:33Trying to make you think I was dead.
11:35It's just another one of his mind games.
11:39If you say so.
11:44You all right?
11:45You just came to, Matt knocked you out?
11:47Yeah.
11:48And I woke you up.
11:52Where is he now?
11:54I promise I'll keep you posted.
11:57Try not to worry too much, okay?
12:00Someone to the door.
12:01I have to go.
12:03I will.
12:03I promise.
12:04Bye.
12:18You know, I've thought a lot about this move of yours to work here with Phyllis.
12:28It may be the bravest thing I've ever seen you do.
12:32Brave or crazy?
12:34You know, maybe a little of both.
12:37You know, after all the ways you've supported me in my various career changes,
12:44even when you were doubtful they would succeed.
12:47Or the potential blowback.
12:50Hmm.
12:51It would be hypocritical of me to try to stop you from pursuing your own dream.
12:57And I trust your talent.
13:00I trust your judgment.
13:02I like the spark in your eyes this kind of challenge gives you.
13:08Oh, I, I love my new role.
13:13But this spark isn't because of my job.
13:16No.
13:19What could it be for?
13:24You.
13:26The right answer.
13:32Well, I'm waiting.
13:34I'm thinking.
13:35Okay, well, don't think so hard.
13:37Just say the first thing that pops into your head.
13:39There are no bad ideas.
13:41Okay, I get in touch with Sally.
13:43I convince her to run a piece on the great love story behind the success of Jabot.
13:51How the Abbott family grew and grew to include Diane.
13:54It reminded her of all that we've built and maybe melt her heart a bit.
14:00She'd see right through there.
14:01I thought there were no bad ideas.
14:03Okay, I'm sorry.
14:04You're right.
14:04We're, we're just brainstorming.
14:07Your turn.
14:13Well, I pretend to kidnap my grandchildren and I tell Victor that they won't be returned until he admits he
14:22was wrong.
14:22You get a big F for originality.
14:25Oh, well, thanks a lot.
14:27I can't help it if my husband has cornered the market on bad ideas.
14:33Hey, wait, you know, maybe my sister Tracy has a plot or two in her novels that we could maybe
14:41pilfer.
14:41Ooh, that's good.
14:43Actually, I can think of one novel where the protagonists wanted to make their estranged partners so jealous that they
14:51would remember how much they cared about them and maybe forget why they were so angry.
14:58Hmm.
15:01Who would make Diane jealous?
15:05Not Patty.
15:06Oh, hell no.
15:07That's what got me here.
15:09So, who would Victor and Diane believe we would turn to?
15:34hello hot stuff where's adam who's adam again did you take them to nick where are they
15:42my goodness so many questions have you done something have you done something to adam okay
15:48honey listen i spent years as a rock promoter and my ears are very sensitive and your voice right
15:54now is really it's it's real interesting to see you finally like this in person recognize what a
16:00true jerk you really are okay well and now i'm confused because i thought you were really looking
16:05forward to finally being alone tell me where they are or what you don't know me but i know you
16:15your type i know that this tough girl thing you got going on is really working for you like to
16:20break
16:21people it's fun for you it's a game it's part of the chase not really no chelsea look i know
16:30that
16:30you care about adam but he's really stupid and he doesn't listen and nick is always poking his nose
16:36into everybody's business nick is trying to make sure that you can't threaten him or his family ever
16:40again snooping around digging into my business not their concern this all started with your threats
16:45now tell me where they are
16:55sure matt's long gone by now
17:00do you remember what happened before he knocked you out we walked from the hotel room to here
17:08all right that means we're in the same building
17:14he must have locked us in here after he hit me i mean that probably was his whole plan buy
17:19time so he
17:20could run
17:24i was on the phone with you right like before it happened yeah how'd you end up in here
17:34i was i was outside reason's room and
17:39the the door was cracked open so i walked in and i was just sort of looking around and
17:47i don't know somebody like put like a bag over my head or something and then i woke up
17:55i was here with matt what did you do next she thought he was going to kill me
18:03he said he had other plans for me
18:06he said he was going to keep me so high on opioids i wouldn't even remember my name and then
18:13and then he brought up noah and and and sienna and sharon and said he was going to go after
18:18them
18:18keep you on opioids so does that mean that you were using drugs before matt took you
18:28it's not important yes it is nick it is very important and it explains a lot like your strange
18:38behavior has matt put his plan in motion are you hooked on drugs nick
18:53it no no no i like that i gotta i gotta go i gotta get back to work as if
19:00i could find my desk under
19:01all of these flowers no no not yet let's make a toast to phyllis okay why because she gave me
19:16this amazing
19:17opportunity she took all the chances when no one believed in her and i admire that i admire her for
19:26being reckless yes yes let's toast to reckless plans
19:38what what's going on no there's nothing i mean

20:12marriages you know that they're kicking you out diane leaving me we ended up spending more time together
20:19later late nights early mornings we find comfort and solace in each other's company
20:29if it were a romance novel it could work but in real life with our spouses more like a horror
20:38movie
20:39if victor were to truly believe that you and i had become romantically involved i mean
20:46all bets would be off he can't stand the idea of the two of us being in the same room
20:50together
20:50it would push him over the edge oh wait no that sounds attractive yeah let's hit him where it hurts
20:58how do you think diane would react well she would be even more outraged with me than she is now
21:05okay you know what i i was wrong there are such things as bad ideas let's just file this under
21:11desperate times desperate measures yeah this would definitely be in the nuclear option category

32:11no no as much as I hate to admit it
32:14you were apparently right about Jack
32:17you're a better judge of my husband's character than I was
32:22you can't mean that
32:24Jack if I were you I'd just accept defeat and move on
32:31you will pay for this
32:34if it is the last thing I do
32:36you will pay for this
32:41all right
32:43let's talk about that's next move
32:45are you sure we can't get you to a doctor
32:47no I'm fine
32:49I'm good as new
32:51like I said I'm pretty sure Matt is long gone
32:54he couldn't have gotten far
32:56well I called Sharon before Matt arrived
32:58I let her know where things stood
33:00that he's in Vegas
33:01we found him
33:03yeah
33:03I really need to check in with her
33:05I don't have my phone
33:07Matt took mine so
33:08I'm pretty sure he's taking yours too
33:20I don't know
33:23I don't know
33:31I don't know
33:32I don't know
33:48Oh, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.
33:52How are you going?
33:53You have to work.
33:54Yes, I do.
33:56I'm just really enjoying this moment right now.
33:59So, can't I enjoy it just a little long?
34:02Oh, ho, ho.
34:10Maybe we should go home.
34:13What do you think?
34:14Maybe.
34:15Or maybe we should just be reckless.
34:20What?
34:21Yes.
34:22Excuse me, Victor.
34:23What?
34:24Mm-hmm.
34:26That's what I'm saying.
34:28Oh, my God.
34:37Jack, your threats were empty.
34:40The only thing you're capable of is destroying your marriage.
34:51How could you take his word over mine?
34:54Oh, are you feeling betrayed?
34:57It's exactly how I thought.
35:05Try not to let it get you.
35:06How can I not?
35:08I don't know about you, but I am on the verge of desperate times.
35:13Something's got to give, Nikki.
35:15And soon.
35:20We'll use my phone to call Sharon.
35:22Give her an update.
35:23She'll be relieved to hear your voice, Nick.
35:25No, no, no, no.
35:25Let's hold off on that.
35:27Why?
35:28I want to find Matt first before we tell Noah and Sharon what is going on,
35:32or at least get an idea of where he's gone.
35:34But Sharon already knows that you were missing, Nick.
35:36I told her.
35:37She's going to worry, Nick.
35:39That means Noah's going to worry.
35:40Yeah, I mean, she's already worried.
35:43No.
35:43If Noah and Sharon learn what has happened out here,
35:46they will be on the first flight out here.
35:48I promise you.
35:49Matt could have killed me.
35:50He will do the same thing to Noah and Sharon.
35:53We have to find him and track him down before he makes his way back to Genoa City.
36:00Hang on.
36:05Your father texted me just now.
36:10I have Matt.
36:12It's over.
36:13Come to Vegas now if you want to see Matt go down.
36:16Finally.
36:17What are we waiting for?
36:19We are on our way.
36:30I can't wait to see you, Sharon.
36:38Next week on The Young and the Rustles.
36:40How do you know Olivia?
36:42She would be my mother.
36:44Night hastings.
36:46Oh, my goodness.
36:48I have a little surprise of my own.
36:52Well, actually, it's kind of a big surprise.
36:56Michael.
36:57What's wrong?
36:58What's wrong?
37:00All right.
37:00There's no good way to come out with this, so I'm just going to say it.
37:05Summer's conglomerate is going down.
37:09This is definitely not what I expected.
37:11This looks like it's been abandoned for years.
37:14What do you think?
37:15Should we go ahead?
37:17We need you.
37:18We need you.
