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.
02:57The one that I can do in this is our last life.
03:00The last of us I have, is it?
03:03I would like to start again.
03:03And one of the most important things is the one of the Holy Spirit.
03:13If I have been on this, I would like you.
03:13And one of the life that I have, is my people.
03:14The life of the life that I have, is my friend of the life.
03:15And one of the living and the lives is my family.
03:15And one of the peace is my life.
03:32Sharon. Hey. It's Chelsea. Where are you? Did you go to Vegas? I did. I'm here. I'm actually
03:41in Adam and Nick's hotel room. How is everything? I'm hoping that your bad premonition turned
03:47out to be just a false alarm. Nick is missing. Missing? For how long? Is Matt there? Have
03:59you seen him? Yeah, he was here. He took Adam to where he believes Nick was last seen. That
04:06sounds like a trap. It's another one of Matt's twisted games. Adam hasn't come back yet, but
04:15I'm sure I'll hear from him soon. Chelsea, we don't know if Nick is all right. Is that
04:20what you're saying?
04:58Nick? Nick? Hey. Hey. Nick? Come on. Nick? God, I'm hoping for you. Nick, wake up. Come on,
05:12please. You can't be dead. Nick, come on. Wake up. Oh, there you go. Thank God. Here,
05:20come on. There you go. There you go. Oh. Oh. Adam? Yeah, it's me. What? My hands are tired. Can
05:40you
05:40help me? Yeah. Where are we? We're in a room at the hotel. What are you doing here? I came
06:01to get you.
06:05How did you find me? Matt was gracious enough to bring me. Told me and Chelsea that you
06:13OD'd and died. He said you had a very serious addiction problem. From the looks of it, he may
06:23be right. Didn't have to go to office trouble. But I'm so glad you did. You deserve it. And
06:39more. Well, do I sound presumptuous if I agree? Great minds think alike. Oh, my goodness. What
06:47have you done now? Open it. Okay. It's a watch, but with no hands. Is this on purpose? No, but
07:04there's a reason for that. Uh, now that you're busier, I wanted to remind you that we still have
07:14all the time in the world. Our love is timeless. So when you're here at work, I
07:24will be counting the minutes till we're together again, but you don't have to rush
07:30home to see me. We're never really apart. I believe in you and I wish you every success
07:40in this new venture. And not a moment will go by when I don't support you in every way possible.
07:56Sounds like Victor is every bit as stubborn as Diane. She still won't talk to you. I have
08:02tried everything. I have texted her. I have sent letters. I have sent every flower in Genoa City
08:09to her suite, hoping to get through to her, hoping to help her get past this pain that I
08:13caused her. None of it works. I'm sorry. I know she's in pain. I'm in pain too. I am killing
08:23myself trying to appeal to her. Well, I went to talk to her to try to knock some sense into
08:32her head. Well, that was an old move. Um, dare I ask how things went? She said she appreciated
08:41what I was trying to do, but she doubted my sincerity. So she kicked me out, slammed the
08:48door in my face. Ouch. You know things are bad when I try to get through to Diane. It was
08:55a noble
08:56effort. You're a good friend. Thank you. So are you. Well, here we are. You and your wife not
09:05speaking to each other. My husband and I not speaking. Yeah, a strange one is not for the faint of
09:11heart. Yeah, that's for sure. So where do we go from here? I don't know, but I'm not ready
09:20to give up. Well, maybe if we put our heads together and just started throwing out ideas,
09:26maybe one of them would stick. Well, I am out of options, so you start.
09:36So Matt took Adam to see Nick and no one has been heard from since? I'm going to wait
09:42to talk to Adam before I come up with any dire assumptions. I don't like that Matt came
09:48into the room to gloat and then Adam walked off with him. I don't like it either. I agree
09:54with you on that, but Adam wanted to go with Matt and he couldn't be stopped. They wouldn't
09:58let me go with them. Now I'm starting to get a bad feeling too. Hey, hey, easy. Easy.
10:12Yeah, and unless a good call, I think the floor is going to be where it's at for now.
10:20Yeah, I think I want to stay down here for a little while too. Then I'll try to get us
10:26out of here. You said Matt brought you there? Yeah, he told me and Chelsea that he OD'd trying
10:37to score some drugs. We didn't believe it though. We insisted it was true, so I demanded that
10:43he take me to you. You brought me here. I saw you on the ground trying to help you. And
10:49that's when he must have knocked me out. Now we're here. Thanks for coming. Anytime. You said Chelsea's in
11:04Vegas? She's worried about me. She couldn't get in touch with me. Is Sharon too? No. Good. You know,
11:17Matt made quite the claims about you buying drugs off the street. It sounded pretty convincing.
11:28I just, you know, I just tell you stories. Trying to make you think I was dead. It's just another
11:35one of his mind games. If you say so. You all right? You just came to, Matt knocked you out?
11:47Yeah. And I woke you up.
11:52Where is he now? I promise I'll keep you posted. Try not to worry too much, okay? Someone to the
12:00door. I have to go.
12:02I will. I promise. Bye.
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.
12:38You know, after all the ways you've supported me in my various career changes,
12:44even when you were doubtful they would succeed.
12:48Or the potential blowback.
12:51It would be hypocritical of me to try to stop you from pursuing your own dream.
12:57And I trust your talent. I trust your judgment.
13:02I like the spark in your eyes this kind of challenge gives you.
13:08Oh, I...
13:10I love my new role.
13:12But this spark isn't because of my job.
13:16No.
13:19What could it be for?
13:24You.
13:25The right answer.
13:33Well, I'm waiting.
13:34I'm thinking.
13:36Okay, 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.
13:54A reminder 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.
14:05We'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, well, you know, maybe, maybe my sister Tracy has a plot or two in her novels that we could
14:40maybe pilfer.
14:41Oh, that's good.
14:44Actually, I can think of one novel where the protagonist 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.
14:58Oh.
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.
15:36Where's Adam?
15:38Who's Adam again?
15:40Did you take them to Nick?
15:41Where are they?
15:43My goodness, so many questions.
15:44Have you done something?
15:46Have you done something to Adam?
15:47Okay, honey, listen.
15:48Listen, I spent years as a rock promoter and my ears are very sensitive and your voice right now is
15:54really, it's, it's real.
15:56It's interesting to see you finally like this in person and recognize what a true jerk you really are.
16:01Okay, well, and now I'm confused because I thought you were really looking forward to finally being alone.
16:07Tell me where they are.
16:09Or what?
16:11You don't know me, but I know you, your type.
16:16I know that this tough girl thing you got going on is really working for you.
16:20You like to break people.
16:21It's fun for you.
16:22It's a game.
16:23It's part of the chase.
16:26Not really.
16:27No.
16:29Chelsea, look, I know that you care about Adam, but he's really stupid.
16:33And he doesn't listen.
16:34And Nick is always poking his nose into everybody's business.
16:37Nick is trying to make sure that you can't threaten him or his family ever again.
16:40They're all snooping around, digging into my business, not their concern.
16:43This 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?
17:04We walked from the hotel room to here.
17:08All right.
17:09That means we're in the same building.
17:14He must have locked us in here after he hit me.
17:16I mean, that probably was his whole plan.
17:19Buy time so he could run.
17:24I was on the phone with you, right?
17:26Like, before it happened.
17:28Yeah.
17:29How'd you end up in here?
17:34I was outside Risa's room, and
17:39the door was cracked open.
17:41So I walked in, and I was just sort of looking around.
17:45And I don't know, somebody, like, put, like, a bag over my head or something.
17:52And then I woke up.
17:55I was here with Matt.
17:57What did you do next?
17:59She 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.
18:10And then he brought up Noah and Sienna and Sharon and said he was going to go after them.
18:18He said he was going to keep you on opioids.
18:20So does that mean that you were using drugs before Matt took you?
18:28It's not important.
18:29Yes, it is.
18:31Nick, it is very important.
18:34And it explains a lot.
18:37Like your strange behavior.
18:40Has Matt put his plan in motion?
18:43Are you hooked on drugs, Nick?
18:53No, no.
18:55I got to go.
18:57I got to get back to work.
18:59As if I could find my desk under all of these flowers.
19:03No.
19:04Not yet.
19:06Let's make a toast.
19:10To Phyllis.
19:12Okay.
19:13Why?
19:15Because she gave me this amazing opportunity.
19:18She took all the chances when no one believed in her.
19:22And I admire that.
19:24I admire her for...
19:26Being reckless.
19:28Yes.
19:30Yes.
19:31Let's toast to reckless plans.
19:36Hmm.
19:38What?
19:39What's going on?
19:40Oh, there's nothing.
19:40I mean...
19:41Of all things to toast to, we have to Phyllis in there?
19:44And why not, you know...
19:46The watch?
19:48Your golden god of a husband?
19:49The flowers?
19:51I mean, love?
19:53Right.
19:54We did toast to love.
19:56Because isn't that the most reckless thing of all?
20:00Oh.
20:01Uh-oh.
20:05Okay.
20:06I'm just spitballing here.
20:08We say that in the devastation of the loss of our marriages...
20:12You know, Victor kicking you out, Diane leaving me...
20:16We ended up spending more time together.
20:20Late nights.
20:21Early mornings.
20:24We find comfort and solace in each other's company.
20:29If it were a romance novel, it could work.
20:34But in real life, with our spouses...
20:37More like a horror movie?
20:39If Victor were to truly believe that you and I had become romantically involved, I mean, all bits would be
20:47off.
20:47He can't stand the idea of the two of us being in the same room together.
20:50It would push him over the edge.
20:53Oh, wait, no, that sounds attractive.
20:54Yeah, let's hit him where it hurts.
20:58How do you think Diane would react?
21:00Well, she would be even more outraged with me than she is now.
21:05Okay, you know what?
21:06I was wrong.
21:07There are such things as bad ideas.
21:10Let's just file this under desperate times, desperate measures.
21:13Yeah, this would definitely be in the nuclear option category, though.
21:17Right now, I'm very close, though it's a bad idea.
21:23Thanks.
21:25Thanks?
21:26What have I done?
21:27We're right back where we started.
21:28Miserable.
21:30You made me laugh.
21:32I haven't done that in a lot of time.
21:43Well, well, well.
21:52Nick, call me as soon as you get this.
21:54I need to know that you're all right.
21:58Hey, Mom, who's on phone?
22:01Uh, no one.
22:02I was just leaving a message.
22:03There was no answer.
22:06Hey, what's wrong?
22:10Oh, nothing.
22:12There's news, isn't there?
22:13About Dad, Matt, or both?
22:16Mom, please tell me what's going on.
22:18You have to tell me.
22:25You're feisty.
22:27I like that.
22:30Look.
22:31Adam is my son's father.
22:34Nick and Adam, they both have small children.
22:37They're my family, so I'm sure you can understand why I'd be worried.
22:40I mean, worrying about things that you have no control over is a complete waste of energy,
22:44and I can think of, like, a million different ways that you and I could better use our energy.
22:48One in particular.
22:50You weren't gone very long, so you couldn't have gotten very far.
22:53Maybe they're still in the building.
22:54Maybe you took Adam downstairs, shoved him in a car, someone left with him.
22:59There's so many questions again.
23:02Matt, just, please, just take me to them.
23:07As much as I would love to take you for a spin, the answer is no.
23:14Matt?
23:18You have to help me.
23:22Chelsea, you seem like a really bright woman.
23:25I'm sure you'll figure it out.
23:27Okay, just answer one thing for me.
23:29Just let me know if Nick is alive.
23:31You know, if he's okay.
23:33Can you just admit that much?
23:36When I took Adam to see Nick, Nick seemed pretty dead.
23:42I don't believe you.
23:43Okay, well, I don't know what to do.
23:45Look, here's the thing.
23:46If they are alive and you can find them, please tell them that I'm out of here,
23:49because I'm done with the new ones.
23:50They're a really tiresome bunch.
23:52Matt?
23:54Please.
23:57I mean, yeah, as much as I'd love to see a hot woman beg, I gotta bounce.
24:04Don't come looking for me, okay?
24:07I am out of here.
24:09I'm like a Vegas magician.
24:10Watch, I'm gonna make myself disappear.
24:19That man must have given me something really strong when he put me in this room.
24:24Do you remember how much?
24:28More than enough.
24:30I mean, he really wanted to mess me up.
24:32You son of a bitch.
24:35That's all right.
24:38Once it gets out of my system, I'm gonna be good.
24:40That's me.
24:41He said, well, that is it.
24:43He gave you drugs in this room, but that is all.
24:49Yeah.
24:58Look, Matt must have taken my phone.
24:59Do you have your phone?
25:03No.
25:04Did he, like, picked out a lock or something?
25:08Wait, no, hang on.
25:08There's a phone.
25:15Oh, please, pick up.
25:25Hello?
25:26Chels, it's me.
25:27I don't think God.
25:29Are you okay?
25:30Where are you?
25:30I'm with Nick.
25:33Is he...
25:35Is he okay?
25:36He's fine.
25:37He's all right.
25:39We're in the hotel.
25:40We're down the hallway from the room.
25:41Look for a storage closet or supply room.
25:44We're locked in.
25:45Okay.
25:45Yeah.
25:46I'll be right there.
25:46I will be careful.
25:48Look out for Matt.
25:50Adam, he was here.
25:52He came to see me.
25:55Did he hurt you?
25:56No.
25:57He was a creep, and he was taunting me.
26:00He wouldn't tell me where you were.
26:01And then he said that he was going to disappear like a Vegas magician.
26:08And that means it's not over.
26:18Are there any markers I should be looking for?
26:21Uh, it's an ice machine.
26:23Just walk, uh, past that.
26:25If you made it to the stairwell, you'd gone too far.
26:28Okay.
26:30Nick.
26:32Nick.
26:34Are you all right?
26:35I'm fine.
26:38Matt just gave me a really heavy dose, clearly.
26:41What's happening?
26:42Is that Nick?
26:43Is he okay?
26:44Yeah, just, uh, try to hurry if you can.
26:47There might be another doorway to the gym on the left.
26:50Just pass that.
26:56Where are you right now?
27:09You're interrupting a private conversation, Victor.
27:12I led you to indulge in your self-conflicted misery.
27:16Well, you're the one who started all this.
27:18The blame lies squarely at your feet.
27:20I did not cheat on my wife, now did I?
27:23If you'll excuse me, please.
27:25Diane.
27:26You know what?
27:27I really don't want to do this right now.
27:29I'll just go back to my room.
27:30You can go down to the lounge.
27:31Jack, how many times do I have to say it?
27:32I don't want to talk to you.
27:34Well, sir, Diane, you stay out of this.
27:37We're working through something.
27:38Actually, there is something I'd like to say to Victor.
27:47I heard from Chelsea.
27:49She's gone to Vegas.
27:51She and Adam have seen Matt Clark.
27:54Okay, so he's there.
27:56We can nail him.
27:57Well, that was the plan.
27:59Well, you didn't mention Dad.
28:01Where is he?
28:02What about him?
28:03They don't know.
28:05Your father seems to have disappeared.
28:08How?
28:08Like he just vanished?
28:10Went missing?
28:11It's possible Matt has him.
28:15Okay, we have to leave now.
28:16Wait, no, I'll come on.
28:18Mom, are we really going to abandon Dad when he could be in trouble?
28:20I sure as hell can't.
28:22I hear you.
28:23I swear I do.
28:24I should have been there already.
28:26Okay, I could have stopped this.
28:27I've been wanting to go to Vegas since the beginning.
28:30We agreed.
28:31It was better that you...
28:32No, I didn't agree.
28:33No, I did not agree.
28:35And now we can't find Dad.
28:37Okay, and if Matt has him, if something happens to him...
28:40I should have never let you guys talk me out of going.
28:43That was for your own good.
28:44Matt is back into our lives because of me.
28:47Mommy is sadistic and horrible.
28:50You know that.
28:51I can't just sit around and wait.
28:53I need to go to Vegas now.
28:57You have to be close.
28:59It's a plain door, no signage.
29:02Adam!
29:04Chelsea!
29:04Yeah, yeah, yeah, we're here.
29:06Chelsea, come on.
29:07Here, try the handle.
29:09Chelsea, we're in here!
29:11You was okay?
29:12Yeah.
29:13Try it again.
29:25I'm just so glad you're both okay.
29:28Thanks for coming to find us.
29:31Chelsea, you saw Matt?
29:32Oh, yeah.
29:33I begged him to take me to you guys, but the bastard wouldn't do it.
29:37I'm not surprised.
29:38I just, I hate that you were alone with him.
29:41He didn't hurt me.
29:43And I can take care of myself.
29:46Nick, you don't look so good.
29:48Are you all right?
29:49It appears Matt gave Nick something in the room and caused him to pass out.
29:53Oh, my God.
29:54Do you want to lie down?
29:55Can I get you something?
29:57No.
29:59No.
30:00I just need to splash some water on my face.
30:03I'll be right back.
30:11Adam, I'm worried about your head.
30:13No, look, I'm going to be okay.
30:16I'm worried about him.
30:18How was he when you found him?
30:20He was out of it.
30:22Compare the breakup.
30:23I mean, I thought that he was, you know.
30:28I can't even imagine.
30:29I'm so sorry.
30:30It must have been horrifying.
30:31So, did he overdose?
30:33Did Matt get him hooked on drugs?
30:35I want to believe that this was a one-time deal.
30:40A deal?
30:44I don't know.
30:58I don't know.
31:18A splash.
31:19Just a splash of water.
31:20I have to get some work done today.
31:23Really?
31:24Yes.
31:25So, you don't want to hear more of our reckless plan?
31:28Oh, by all means.
31:29What is it?
31:31What is it?
31:34What is it?
31:38One dance.
31:39Every romantic interlude has to have one dance.
31:45Just one.
31:48And then I'm kicking you out.
31:52Yes, dear.
32:05And I'm not interested in hearing a lecture from you about how this is all my fault.
32:11No, no.
32:12As much as I hate to admit it, you were apparently right about Jack.
32:18You'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, you will pay for this.
32:41All right.
32:43Let's talk about Matt's next move.
32:45Are you sure we can't get you to a doctor?
32:48No, I'm fine.
32:49I'm good as new.
32:51Well, like 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, that he's in Vegas.
33:01We found him.
33:03Yeah.
33:04I really need to check in with her.
33:05I don't have my phone.
33:07Matt took mine, so I'm pretty sure he's taken yours, too.
33:11I don't have to.
33:28I don't have to.
33:31I don't have to.
33:33I don't have to.
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.
34:09Oh, you know, maybe 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.
34:30Oh, my God.
34:33Oh, 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.
35:04Try 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 that first before we tell Noah and Sharon what is going on, or at least get
35:33an 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.
35:41I mean, she's already worried.
35:43No.
35:43If Noah and Sharon learn what has happened out here, they 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.
36:06Your 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.
36:30Can't wait to see you, Sharon.
36:38Next week on The Young and the Restless.
36:41How do you know Olivia?
36:42She would be my mother.
36:44Nate Hastings.
36:46Oh, my goodness.
36:47I have a little surprise of my own.
36:53Well, actually, it's kind of a big surprise.
36:56Michael, what'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.
37:04Summer'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 or kneel?
37:17What do you think?
37:19What do you think?
37:20What do you think?
37:21I'm going to say it.
