00:06Yes?
00:07Diane Abbott?
00:08Ah, that's me.
00:10For you.
00:11Is that from Jack Abbott?
00:14I don't know, ma'am.
00:36Look, this serum has been struggling for a while.
00:39I mean, corporate marketing suggests we do it all together, rebrand.
00:43We target different demographics.
00:45We go after micro-influencers and adjacent communities.
00:48What do you think?
00:51New name, new demographic.
00:53It's the same product.
00:54We can tell the attributes all we want.
00:57If it's fundamentally flawed, why are we throwing good money after bad?
01:01Maybe we should just dump the whole damn thing.
01:03Come on.
01:04Coming from the guy who loves nothing more than reviving a product the world has declared dead?
01:08You love this stuff, proving the naysayers wrong.
01:11Maybe the naysayers are right sometimes.
01:13The numbers certainly support it.
01:16Okay, my advice is just table this for now.
01:19Wait, we have to decide.
01:20No, I understand, but I think your lack of enthusiasm
01:23has more to do with the hell you've been going through
01:26than the product itself.
01:28Then you could be right.
01:37Hi.
01:38Hi.
01:39I hope you don't mind me dropping by unannounced.
01:41Your office said you were working at home today.
01:43Please come in.
01:45Not much work is getting done.
01:48Oh, Jack, you're exhausted.
01:50I can vouch for the fact that he spends most nights pacing.
01:55Is it just me, or does it seem like things are getting worse by the moment?
02:00It is definitely not just you.
02:05Thank you, Joe.
02:18The End
02:41What do you mean that Summer's conglomerate will cease to exist and Phyllis will lose everything?
02:48I have it on good authority that there's already a plan in motion to burn it to the ground.
02:57Ah. And does this authority happen to be Victor?
03:02It does. He summoned me to the ranch to share what he has in mind.
03:11Well, it's no surprise that Victor would attempt to get his company back.
03:16But does he really expect Phyllis and me to just give in? Go down without a fight?
03:25Given what Victor has in mind, it's pretty much a sure thing that Phyllis is going down and I don't
03:35want her dragging you down with her.
03:41Okay, well, then it's a good thing you cleared out your office.
03:44And by the way, you don't get to resign. I'm firing you.
03:57Great. That's perfect.
04:08Sitting alone, I see. That's no shock.
04:12I'm waiting for someone.
04:14So calm, cool, and collected, aren't you?
04:18You don't look at all like a woman who just had her family empire ripped out from under her by
04:23me.
04:24You look so tense. Is everything good? It's Summer's conglomerate.
04:29You know how it's going at Summer's conglomerate. Guess what? Your daddy isn't going to get away with it.
04:35I have no idea what you're talking about.
04:37Oh, you expect me to believe that.
04:39I don't care what you believe.
04:39What did you guys do, Victoria? Would you pay all the employees off?
04:45Did you threaten them?
04:47Did your daddy do it alone? Did you help?
04:50Guess what? It doesn't matter to me.
04:54Siphoning off all of my employees isn't going to change anything.
04:59It's not going to ruin me.
05:02If you think that, think again.
05:04The only one who might want to do some rethinking is you.
05:13I won't keep you long. I just wanted to check in.
05:18Actually, I was just head to the office.
05:20We'll circle back for making a decision on that, Sarah.
05:23Agreed.
05:24And I'll text you to let you know the coast is clear.
05:27Yeah, I would appreciate that. Thanks.
05:29What's that about?
05:30After my encounter with Diane yesterday, I thought it would be too painful for her to see me two days
05:35in a row.
05:37How ironic. When I stopped by at Chabot, they told me that Diane is working outside of the office as
05:43well.
05:43I guess I'll have the place all to myself.
05:46That might be a good thing.
05:48That means Diane's still at the hotel, hopefully receiving my last-ditch efforts to get through to her.
06:13My darling wife.
06:16It seems no matter how hard I try to win you back, I only succeed in pushing you farther away.
06:25I am doing everything I can to give you space to let you process what has happened.
06:30I will stop making excuses.
06:32I was wrong.
06:34And what kills me the most is knowing how deeply I hurt you.
06:40I know there is a part of you that wants to never speak to me again, to shut me out,
06:44to shut out the pain.
06:48But I hope there's another part of you, deep in your tender heart, that knows I love you more than
06:55life itself.
06:57That you will one day be able to look at me again with the love I feel for you.
07:03The love that will never change.
07:05The love that is forever.
07:07The love that is forever.
07:45I know you've been worried about this.
07:48That if Victor went after Phyllis, that I would be collateral damage.
07:52You won't let that happen.
07:53I'm not a damsel that needs rescue.
07:56Uh, you're one of the smartest women I know.
07:59And are perfectly capable of taking care of yourself.
08:04With a little assist, now and then.
08:07Hmm.
08:09And you advise that I get out now, while I can.
08:13Not the worst idea.
08:16Is this Victor talking?
08:18Did he tell you to whisper dire consequences in my ear?
08:24He's concerned, as I am.
08:26Is this you protecting me, or are you doing that man's bidding?
08:34I can't believe that you think I would actually try to play you at Victor's behest.
08:41Wouldn't be the first time.
08:45Fair enough.
08:47But I've learned my lesson.
08:49These are facts.
08:51And I'm not sharing them with you to scare you off, but to make sure that you are fully informed
08:57as to what you're going up against.
09:01And as stated, I have every confidence in the world that I can.
09:06Give me a little assistance?
09:08Yes.
09:09I'm going to do that.
09:11So do you know Victor's plan?
09:14I do.
09:15So do I.
09:17You do?
09:18I do.
09:19There was a mass exodus at Summer's conglomerate this morning.
09:24It's already happening.
09:25Yes.
09:26People without notice.
09:27Packing up their desks, their offices, their cubicles.
09:31And of course, we instantly suspected that Victor was behind it.
09:37Your suspicions wouldn't be wrong.
09:41Wow, Victoria, was that a threat?
09:44You're trying to threaten me?
09:45That's so cute.
09:46No.
09:47So weak.
09:48No.
09:48I'm just offering some advice.
09:50Well, keep your advice to yourself.
09:52And by the way, when you see your daddy, tell him his big move to take me down was a
09:56bust.
09:57Is that right?
09:58Yeah.
09:59In fact, you did Lauren and me a favor.
10:01I mean, we don't have to pay severance.
10:03It's win-win for us.
10:05You know, it's hard to run a multinational corporation with all of those empty offices.
10:11I mean, you think replacing all those losers is going to be hard?
10:13It's not going to.
10:15You think you could beat me at my game?
10:17That's never going to happen.
10:24Oh, well, good morning, Diane.
10:27It's a beautiful day, isn't it?
10:29The air is absolutely inspiring.
10:32Leave me alone.
10:33Oh, you look a little peaked.
10:36The air and sunshine might do you some good as well.
10:39The only thing that would do me good is when you leave town.
10:42Well, Diane, I have every right to be here.
10:46I have been given a clean bill of mental health from my doctors, as you know.
10:52So I am as sane as anyone in this town.
10:57Although that's not saying much.
10:59I don't know how you convinced those doctors that you deserve to be released, but I know the truth.
11:05And so does everyone else.
11:07And no one wants you here.
11:09Are you sure about that?
11:11Hmm.
11:12Well, it might be hard for you to accept, but...
11:17Jack is very happy that I'm back.
11:23Oh, if only you could have seen the smile on his face before you caught us in bed together.
11:30They're delusional.
11:31Oh, and it's just a matter of time before I put it there again.
11:34And again.
11:36And again.
11:38Get out of my way.
11:40I mean, Diane, it's not like you're by his side.
11:44You're stuck in this hellhole, hmm?
11:49Obviously, you're punishing the poor man, and I am more than happy to console him.
11:54You are the last thing that Jack needs right now.
11:58Oh.
11:59Back at you, babe.
12:02When are you going to realize that you don't deserve a man like Jack?
12:06I mean, you might have done a decent job at reincarnating yourself, but...
12:14I know who you are.
12:17You are the woman who slept with Jack when I was pregnant with our child.
12:23I lost that baby because of you.
12:25That was because you fell.
12:28After I saw the two of you having sex in his office.
12:33My world imploded because of you.
12:39Hmm.
12:42But I found the strength to fight my way to sanity.
12:46Oh, and how many people have you poisoned, kidnapped, and shot in the process?
12:53I regret all of it.
12:56I'm here to make this right, make amends.
12:59Amends?
13:00By being part of Victor's disgusting kidnapping scheme?
13:04You're as sick as you ever were.
13:06You landed the husband and the money and the fairytale life.
13:12You dressed yourself up in good deeds and whatever shade of honesty works for you.
13:18But the crafts...
13:21Diane, they're starting to show, aren't they?
13:24And when it collapses, and it will, you'll be far more dangerous than I ever was.
13:48I will see you tonight.
13:50Oh, wait.
13:51You haven't eaten yet.
13:52Mrs. Martinez put together this multi-course working breakfast for us.
13:57I'm sorry to miss it, but I'll grab something on the way to the office.
14:00I'll see you later.
14:02It's good to see you, Nicky.
14:03You too.
14:09He's very concerned about you.
14:11He is the rock I never would have admitted I needed.
14:14But it's taken a toll on him, and I hate that.
14:17I've noticed the same thing in Victoria.
14:21I guess no matter how old our children become, they still want to root for their parents to get back
14:26together.
14:27Well, I'm sorry to say this, but I'm not holding out much hope that Kyle's dreams will come true.
14:33Don't tell me you're giving up on Diane.
14:35I don't want to.
14:36It just seems that way.
14:38Oh, I'm sorry.
14:40I'm sorry.
14:40I'm sorry.
14:40Yes, so am I.
14:42Crestfallen is a better word.
14:44And look, as remorseful as I feel, I'm also angry that she refuses to even discuss it.
14:51She doesn't give me the least benefit of the doubt.
14:54We're talking about Patty Williams here.
14:56I mean, there's no way in any state I would willingly go there.
15:04Well, maybe for Diane it's less about the willing and more that she can't accept the fact that it happened
15:12at all.
15:12Yeah, I'm having a bit of a problem accepting that fact myself.
15:15I always thought our love was...
15:18Indestructible.
15:18Diane and I have survived so much and always come out on the other side stronger.
15:24Well, a lot of that is due to your ability to forgive.
15:28I'm sorry that Diane...
15:30No, no, no.
15:31Don't blame Diane for this.
15:33There you go again.
15:34Finding understanding for her when she won't or won't even try to find it for you.
15:40Right now I'm busy blaming Victor.
15:44Can you believe he used Patty Williams as a weapon against me?
15:47He would bring that woman back to town after everything she has done, all of the heartache she has caused.
15:55And to put your marriage and your life in jeopardy.
16:01It is absolutely disgusting.
16:04My children's dream of seeing their parents reunited may be just that.
16:10An impossible dream.
16:14The thing about my father is that one of his superpowers is he can always see his enemies coming.
16:21Yeah, well, I saw him coming.
16:23I checkmated.
16:24That's what I did.
16:25You know, I'm not too worried about any other lame move that he has against me.
16:29Well, you should enjoy being in my father's office because you're not going to be there for long.
16:34Oh, great.
16:36The day just got great.
16:38Hi.
16:39Hi.
16:40Thanks for joining me.
16:41My pleasure.
16:42Yeah.
16:42For the most part.
16:44You said it was important.
16:45Yes, it's very important.
16:48Actually, do you want to sit at a bar to look like...
16:51You think that I want to overhear your conversation.
16:53I can think of nothing more boring than you two droning on and on.
16:59Oh, I can guarantee that you would not find this conversation boring.
17:02In fact, I think you'd find it very interesting.
17:04Really?
17:05Really?
17:06Phyllis is upset because apparently dozens of employees quit rather than work for the woman who stole my family's company.
17:14Okay.
17:14That's not the truth.
17:15And you know what's even sadder than that?
17:17Her own daughter won't even speak to her anymore because of what she's done.
17:21That's right.
17:22And her son feels the same.
17:23Oh, I'm very well aware of how Dan is feeling.
17:26Oh, okay.
17:29What are you talking about?
17:31It's none of your business, Phyllis.
17:33At least not at this stage.
17:35What is that supposed to mean?
17:38I guess you're just going to have to wait and find out.
17:42How's Phyllis handling the walkout?
17:45How do you think?
17:47Like a badass.
17:49Completely proactive.
17:51When I left her, she was texting and emailing every candidate we could think of to fill the vacancies.
17:56Not an easy task.
17:58I was very concerned about this walkout, that it would completely derail all of our plans to reinvent this company.
18:05But Phyllis said this actually gives us an amazing opportunity to handpick a loyal, brilliant staff with you at the
18:17top of the list.
18:18You suggested me.
18:20Well, she did, but of course I agreed.
18:22There's no sharper mind.
18:25I'm flattered.
18:26So is that a yes?
18:28Because with you as head of legal and all of the top talent that we plan to recruit, we show
18:35Victor that we survived this attack and we ended up on top.
18:39Well, I'm afraid to tell you this isn't the master plan.
18:45This is just step one.
18:47There's more?
18:49I'm afraid so.
18:52And it's predatory.
18:58You probably want to get back to your office, work on those staffing issues.
19:05You don't think I see what you're doing, trying to get the bug on your side?
19:11She can't hurt me.
19:13My day started off so well, I definitely didn't expect a run-in with Phyllis.
19:19Yeah, I'm sorry about that.
19:21Oh, gosh, the woman's insufferable.
19:23What she's doing to your family is appalling.
19:27How are you doing?
19:28Well, we're definitely struggling.
19:32But it's a little overwhelming if I think about it too much.
19:35You know, my father and Newman's don't wallow.
19:38They're proactive.
19:40We keep our eye on the prize.
19:43What is the prize exactly?
19:46I was going to congratulate you, although it may be a little too early.
19:52Congratulate?
19:53We've heard that you've been offered the DA position.
19:56You know about that?
19:57Oh, you know, my dad, he always has his finger on the pulse of...
20:01Everything consequential in Genoa City.
20:04Why would what's happening at the DA's office be consequential to Victor?
20:10What are you up to?
20:13My knees, he lies the head that wears the crown.
20:16What?
20:18You feel on the way to that shining new crown?
20:20Yeah.
20:22You know?
20:23Yeah.
20:24I'll always be wearing the crown.
20:26You know why?
20:27Because I'm finally getting what I worked so hard for, what I earned.
20:30And it feels amazing.
20:32And why do you look so unhappy?
20:44Oh, thank you.
20:47Predatory.
20:48That's a very scary word.
20:52What is Victor's strategy?
20:58Well...
20:58He's going to give Phyllis a taste of her own medicine, to quote him.
21:05He's developed this AI program that will embed documents, a chancellor that will provide evidence that Phyllis, along with Kane
21:14and Billy, illegally took control of Newman Enterprises and its entities.
21:22Fake evidence.
21:23Fake evidence.
21:23I know.
21:25Well, has he pulled the trigger yet?
21:27I mean, is this a reality?
21:28No, it's already set in motion.
21:30It will use the facts of what Phyllis actually did to create receipts, text, emails, documentation, all generated to look
21:38like the real deal.
21:40Fraud, conspiracy, corporate espionage, you name it.
21:43And the fabricated evidence will be strong enough and believable enough to destroy her.
21:52Unless she gives back the company, right?
21:57That is correct.
21:59She's so proud of what she's done.
22:02And she's so excited about what we are about to do with this company.
22:07She's never going to go for that.
22:08Well, then, she will suffer the consequences, as will Billy and Kane.
22:22I know you said that, um, I can't tell her, but I feel like I need to warn her.
22:31I need to tell her what Victor's plan is.
22:36Well, I suppose it doesn't matter if you do or not, since the game is already afoot.
22:41And I assume that you are going to stay firmly by her side.
22:44Yes.
22:45If Jim right, I'm going to.
22:47I'm going to do everything I can to have her back.
22:49All right, fine.
22:50Okay.
22:51And since I've committed to having your back, we have no choice but to deal with this together.
22:59So, does that mean that you're coming in as the head of legal?
23:04Well, you're not hearing me.
23:08If Victor has his way, there will no longer be a company to represent.
23:14Which is why we have to convince our friend to get out from under this before it all goes public.
23:21And you're not hearing me.
23:23There is no way that Phyllis is going to cave to Victor's blackmail.
23:28Oh, okay.
23:29Well, given the serious criminal charges she may be facing, the years, decades, she could be behind bars.
23:37This is her only chance to save her reputation such that it is.
23:41To save her life.
23:45I'm telling you, Mrs. Martinez outdid herself.
23:48You're sure you're not hungry?
23:50Her ginger scones are pretty amazing.
23:53So are the blueberry muffins.
23:56Well, I have to say, I've never passed on a scone.
23:59Coming right up.
24:02Your favorite, along with a couple of extras.
24:09Cozy.
24:10Damn.
24:12Yeah, although I shouldn't be surprised, seeing the two of you together, it's practically a theme.
24:18I just came by to check on...
24:20To check on your dear, dear friend.
24:23What would he do without you?
24:26I should go.
24:27No, no, Nikki, please.
24:29Stay.
24:29I mean, after all, Jack did get all the trouble to put together a plate of your...
24:34favorites.
24:36Besides, I'm not staying long.
24:39I, uh...
24:40I ran into Patty this morning.
24:43I'm sure that was unpleasant.
24:46It was.
24:48But you know what's even more unpleasant?
24:52You thinking that a piece of jewelry will somehow make this all okay.
24:58As I said in my letter...
25:00Jack, I...
25:02I read the letter.
25:03And it was nice.
25:05And I'm...
25:06I'm sure it was sincere.
25:08But I...
25:09I can't.
25:11I...
25:11I won't.
25:13Accept this.
25:28Oh, it's cheesy.
25:31Patty Williams.
25:34What's the matter?
25:37Kitty Cat got your toe?
25:38What are you doing here?
25:40Well, it has been a long time, fellas.
25:42Not long enough.
25:44Mm-hmm.
25:44You still holding a grudge?
25:46A grudge?
25:47You tried to kill my daughter.
25:48I'll be holding a grudge for the rest of my life.
25:50Yeah.
25:51You know how sorry I...
25:53Oh, my God.
25:54I heard rumors that you were out of the psych hospital.
25:58I didn't believe it.
25:59Who the hell would do that?
26:00Who the hell would let you and your murderous toxic mind back into the world?
26:11Please don't do this.
26:13The ring is not a bribe.
26:15It is a gift.
26:16I want you to have it.
26:17How can I accept it?
26:20Accepting it is basically saying that I forgive you and I'm just not ready to do that.
26:25Do you think the day will ever come when you will be ready?
26:30Are you enjoying this?
26:32Of course not.
26:34I want nothing more than for you and Jack.
26:36Oh, admit it.
26:37You've never thought that I was good enough for Jack.
26:40And lucky for you, now that I'm staying at the athletic club, you can just waltz in here
26:45anytime you like and have them all to yourself.
26:48Are you happy now, Nikki?
26:54You were one of the best days that Genoa City has ever had.
26:59That's very sweet of you.
27:01Oh, it's true.
27:02I mean, you were so passionate.
27:04The integrity that you would bring to the job is exactly what the city needs.
27:08Well, I did love the work, seeing justice done in a world where it doesn't happen enough.
27:13I hope you know that the Newmans, as a family, share your commitment to justice.
27:19Yes, I am aware that the Newmans are committed to justice, especially when it serves them.
27:27Well, there's nothing wrong with applauding when the right decision is made, and you have proven very effective at making
27:36those decisions.
27:37Yeah, I still haven't decided if I'm going to take this job or not.
27:42Oh, well, what would ensure that that happens?
27:46Yeah, it's a popular place this morning.
27:50You think how you saw Phyllis?
27:52Yeah, I suppose even bottom feeders need to eat.
27:57She didn't seem too happy.
27:59Are you the reason for that?
28:01I sure as hell hope so.
28:04I have addressed the issues, done the work, and I have true remorse for all the people I hurt, even
28:12you.
28:12You don't have any remorse.
28:14You haven't made amends.
28:15But my daughter could have died because of you.
28:18But she is alive and well, and I have been given a second chance, which I plan to take full
28:23advantage of.
28:24And you, Phyllis, you have been given more than a few second chances yourself.
28:31I would think you would have some compassion for what I'm going through right now.
28:35You are beyond redemption, beyond therapy, beyond help of any kind.
28:41And that you think you're owed some peace shows how delusional you really are.
28:47My peace is all I want.
28:49Really?
28:51Did you get a little peace on that boat with Jack?
28:56Did you?
28:57Oh, Phyllis, you have no idea.
28:59Yeah, I'm sure.
29:00You know, you were part of a kidnapping.
29:03It makes you complicit.
29:04I should call the authorities right now.
29:06Yeah, well, I was invited aboard as a guest.
29:09Jack should have thrown you overboard.
29:12Oh, how is Summer?
29:14I mean, she's such a beautiful...
29:14Shut up, girl.
29:15Shut up.
29:16Don't mention my daughter's name.
29:17I mean, you were practically...
29:18Are you still practically besties?
29:20I mean, or you being you.
29:23Maybe she finally saw what the rest of us already know.
29:28What the hell are you talking about?
29:31Well, I would love to stay and chat some more, but I have some place to be.
29:38Oh!
29:42You should see a professional about that anger.
29:47Incredibly unhealthy.
29:56Was it really just yesterday that we were celebrating with champagne and roses?
30:01Huh.
30:02The bubbles and the flowers weren't even the best part.
30:05Huh.
30:07Now we have a war on our hands.
30:09Unless we could avoid it.
30:12Oh, I'm so glad you're both here.
30:15Are you all right?
30:16Have you already heard?
30:17Yeah, that Patty Williams is back on the streets.
30:19Yes.
30:21Should we call the authorities and have them put her back in the hospital?
30:25I mean, we should we do.
30:26Well, as unnerving as it is to have Patty back in town, I spoke with Tracy, who's been in contact
30:32with Paul, and it's genuine.
30:35She's actually been deemed cured.
30:39The hell she is.
30:41Well, for what it's worth, at least we all are aware that she's back.
30:44We'll have our guard up.
30:46No surprises.
30:47Oh, I mean, as long as my family is safe, I guess I guess I'm going to have to hope
30:53for the best, right?
30:54Anyway, okay, did you tell them about our job offer?
30:59I'm hoping you'll say yes.
31:01The answer is, uh, I'd like to start by giving the principles of Summer's conglomerate some extremely sound legal advice.
31:15I really should be going.
31:16You know, that's not a bad idea.
31:19Instead of focusing so much energy on my marriage, you might want to pay attention to what's left of yours.
31:25Although, how you could forgive that man for what he did to your bestie here is just beyond me.
31:31I have not forgiven Victor.
31:33He's gone too far.
31:35Oh, come on.
31:36How many times have we heard that over the years?
31:38But you always go back.
31:40A new car, a new shiny bauble.
31:43Hey, who knows?
31:44There might be a gift bag waiting for you.
31:46There's no reason to drag Nicky into our situation.
31:48Oh, of course, Jack.
31:48Of course, you're jumping to her defense.
31:49I don't mean to make you angry.
31:51Oh.
31:52Though it seems that's all I can do lately.
31:54I just...
31:59I love you.
32:03No strings, no tricks, no bribes.
32:06I just want for you to someday soon be able to look at me and once again see the man
32:12who promised to be your home.
32:16Flawed, yes.
32:18Imperfect, yes.
32:19But ready to open my arms to you anytime you are ready.
32:26Enjoy your scouts.
32:36So, you still think I'm too quick to believe that my marriage is over?
32:45Thank you for coming, Brian.
32:48I wanted to commend you on a job extremely well done.
32:53I wasn't sure whether to reach out to you, but the results speak for themselves.
33:00Well, it's definitely the best decision I've ever made.
33:09How's Harrison?
33:11He's great.
33:12Especially given everything has happened after what your father pulled.
33:16Well, I'm glad to hear he's doing well.
33:19You know, I'd appreciate it if you didn't ask about my family like you cared.
33:23We've had this conversation more than once.
33:26You know where I stand.
33:27What I feel the right thing for you and your entire family to do is to rein in your father.
33:33I... I'm sorry.
33:35Yeah, well, that means about the same as Phyllis saying those words to you.
33:40Nothing.
33:42No.
33:42Excuse me.
33:47What was that all about?
33:49What did Victor do?
33:50Oh, my father lost everything, Phyllis, so...
33:53Obviously, he's desperate to make it right.
33:57Yeah, but Victor's version of justice can be a little out there.
34:01He was the victim.
34:03You can't say the same thing about Phyllis.
34:06What she did was diabolical.
34:10That's one of the reasons I asked you to meet, Ashley.
34:13Or maybe the only reason.
34:16What would you say if I told you I was privy to some information that you might find very interesting
34:23if you step back in as a DA?
34:27What kind of information?
34:29The kind that would take Phyllis down for good.
34:35I love to hear sound legal advice, especially from our head of legal at Summer's Conglomerate.
34:43I'll get straight to the point.
34:45Life is about to get very, very bad for you.
34:48Okay.
34:49Wow.
34:50My goodness.
34:51Well, that's a bad attitude, especially from our head of legal.
34:55Does this have to do with Victor's loyalist quitting?
34:58It's more than that.
35:01Your business isn't the only thing in jeopardy.
35:03It's personal.
35:04It's as nasty as it gets.
35:07Victor is about to put you in serious legal jeopardy.
35:12Oh, is he?
35:13Okay.
35:14Well, I don't have any friends.
35:17Present company excluded, of course.
35:19My kids don't even want to live on the same planet as I do.
35:23So if I can handle that, I can handle any sort of personal attack Victor wants to throw my way.
35:29It's very serious.
35:32And it's real.
35:33But I can offer you a way out.
35:40I think I'm going to have to resign myself to the fact that Diane will never get past what happened
35:46on that yacht.
35:49She's definitely put up a lot of walls.
35:54But that could be a good thing.
35:58How can you even say that?
36:01Obviously, she is still hurting because she's still very much in love with you.
36:05And I believe that where there is love, there is hope.
36:10It is hard to find even a glimmer of hope when the woman I love can barely look at me.
36:18I have tried everything.
36:20Nothing works.
36:22I know how you feel.
36:25Seems that both of our marriages are reaching the desperate time stage.
36:32Might be time for the nuclear option.
36:38Neumann Ranch 2.0
36:41Huh.
36:44Very impressive.
36:46I am honored to have been invited.
36:50Definitely beats transacting our business over burner phones.
36:56Now, Patty, there's a matter of payment.
37:00And you and I will keep that between the two of us.
37:06Oh, just like old times.
37:08I will be paid as discussed, right?
37:14Why don't you see for yourself?
37:22Oh, I have never seen anything so beautiful.
37:28It's your job by then.
37:31Thank you for the opportunity and taking a chance on me and letting me prove what I can do.
37:40What you did was beyond expectations.
37:45So now you're going to leave town, is that it?
37:47Oh, I don't know.
37:49I, uh, I forgot how much I miss Genoa City.
37:55So, we'll see about that.
