02:21you

02:22you

02:54Knock, knock.

02:55Hey.

02:56I thought you'd like some blooms for your office.

02:58Oh, my goodness.

02:59Did you rob a funeral or a wedding?

03:03No.

03:04My husband wanted to surprise me on my first day at work,

03:07and he went a little overboard.

03:08Oh, my goodness.

03:09Well, that's a good sign.

03:10I know.

03:11He's so sweet and romantic.

03:13I wasn't talking about him being a good husband,

03:15although, of course, he is.

03:16But I'm talking about maybe this means that he is, uh,

03:22he's in favor of our partnership,

03:24and maybe Victor Newman is in the rearview mirror for him

03:28and fading fast.

03:29Don't know about that,

03:30but I do know that I am ready to dig in and work.

03:34Great.

03:35Well, there is a lot of work to do.

03:37There's also a lot of really great things that are happening.

03:41We've had so many wins so far.

03:44Summer's conglomerate.

03:45We're off to a really, really good start.

03:48There's nothing but blue skies ahead.

03:52Is it raining?

03:54Oh, well, the weather forecast calls for bright, sunny skies,

03:57but I got a sneaky feeling that, uh,

03:59dark clouds might be rolling in.

04:04Ben Moore signed me up for an online comedy class.

04:06Pretty good, huh?

04:07Can you sit down?

04:09Yeah?

04:09Okay.

04:12I called you here

04:14to tell you that I have plans to reclaim Newman Enterprises.

04:19All right.

04:20Well, uh,

04:21are you sure you want me to be a party to any of those plans?

04:25I know that you may have a conflict regarding that.

04:28Yeah, the fact that my wife is Phyllis's business partner at the moment.

04:32You got it.

04:36Am I here to be warned?

04:38I just want you to know

04:41that I planned to force Phyllis

04:45to return Newman Enterprises to me.

04:49The plan is in operation right now.

05:02Devon, I-I just-

05:03I don't want to do this right here, right now.

05:04I don't want to do what?

05:05Have a conversation?

05:07Not here in public, no.

05:09Well, you're doing a pretty good job

05:10of avoiding me in private, too.

05:13Did you get the text message

05:14that I sent you on my way home from work last night

05:16about Lillian Holden?

05:18Yes, I did.

05:19You did?

05:19Mm-hmm.

05:21Didn't make you want to ask any questions about Lillie?

05:24Or about how I feel, having a new family member?

05:29I was in bed when you sent the text.

05:31Okay.

05:31What about this morning?

05:33You were asleep when I left the house.

05:35Yeah, you left a lot earlier than you usually go.

05:37I had to bring Dom and his friends to school, Devon.

05:40Okay, I mean, what about afterwards?

05:42You could have sent a text message.

05:43You could have called me.

05:45I mean, the news is-

05:46it's a pretty big deal, don't you think?

05:49Of course it is.

05:50I know that it is.

05:50You know, it is, but, okay, I guess it's just-

05:53it's disappointing that my wife didn't figure to even acknowledge it.

05:58Well, then why didn't you wake me up?

06:00Why- why didn't you initiate a conversation, Devon?

06:03I mean, what?

06:05And now with that, we're on the subject of avoiding people.

06:07Why were you in the office so late last night?

06:09I mean, don't do that.

06:10Don't do what?

06:11Come on, don't turn this around, all right?

06:12You've been voiding me, and I think I have a good idea why.

06:18This was out of the blue, all right?

06:20Completely unexpected.

06:23Apparently, the DA is stepping down.

06:25Health reasons, I guess.

06:27And they want to know if I will finish her turn.

06:32Well, this is- this is great.

06:35Yeah.

06:35No, yes, yes.

06:36I mean, I'm completely flattered that they'd even consider me, and it's not like I haven't done the job.

06:40Yeah, and you were spectacular.

06:42Okay, it says you.

06:44Not everyone loved my role there.

06:47But you know what?

06:47I won more than I lost.

06:49Yeah, so, um, all right, so, are you gonna accept it?

06:56I'm honestly not sure.

06:58What's holding you back?

06:59I mean, you, our-

07:01Me?

07:02Our life together, I sort of like being a semi-retired wife of a rock star.

07:08Cricket, hey.

07:10Come on.

07:12This is- this is your forum, all right?

07:15Law is your passion.

07:18As music is my passion, all right?

07:20And, you know, and I remember how incredibly selfless you were about, you know, going on tour with me.

07:27And that meant so much to me.

07:28It wasn't selfless.

07:29I didn't make sacrifices.

07:30It wasn't anything like that.

07:31I loved every minute of it.

07:33But that's the thing.

07:35If I take this, I can't just fly off to a tour or a concert.

07:42I would miss that.

07:45I just missed you right now.

07:47You weren't even gone that long.

07:48And I missed you.

07:52Okay.

07:54So I think that settles it.

07:56I think I say thank you so much for the offer and I just- I turn it down.

08:00No, no, hang on a second.

08:02Hang on, hang on.

08:03I'm not going to let you off that easily, all right?

08:06Okay, I know we can figure this out.

08:08We can find a solution.

08:09The two of us, we can.

08:11All right, you just have to- you know, you've got to dig deep and just be honest with me

08:15and with yourself, all right?

08:17And in a perfect world, all right, would being the DA again, would that make you happy?

08:29Phyllis thinks that she has smooth sailing.

08:31She's gotten rid of all of the employees that she thought were too loyal to us and kept on all

08:37of the high-level executives who have pledged their allegiance to her and returned for some very hefty raises and

08:42bonuses.

08:43But, sadly for her, it wasn't enough.

08:47You offered them more.

08:49That was her first mistake to assume that I wouldn't spend all kinds of money to get my company back.

08:55Phyllis will lose three-fourths of her workforce in a matter of days.

08:58Those people, they're going to leave that sinking ship, and then the press is going to have a corporate funeral

09:04for poor, poor Phyllis.

09:06And then I shall execute the second part of my plan.

09:10Aside from crippling Summer's conglomerate-

09:13Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

09:14Don't you ever say that word again.

09:16It's Newman Enterprises.

09:18You got that?

09:21Aside from crippling the company, what more is there?

09:25To Phyllis, the second big mistake was that she gave me back control of Chancellor Industries, and I shall use

09:33that against her.

09:35Oh, I spoke to the head of accounting this morning.

09:38Oh, my goodness.

09:38Okay.

09:39What are the numbers?

09:40They are actually great, and projections are even better.

09:44Amazing.

09:46Lauren, we are doing really great.

09:49In six months, we're going to crush it.

09:51And as per your request, I also emailed you some ideas about revamping the company's branding.

09:57Yes, yes, I saw a little bit of that.

09:58I want to get into that with you.

10:00Great.

10:00My goodness, this is so great.

10:04Wait a second.

10:08You spoke to the head of accounting?

10:10Yes, this morning.

10:11Why?

10:11He said he's leaving, effective immediately.

10:16What?

10:17Wait a second.

10:18Wait a second.

10:20There are all these emails from the other department heads.

10:26Oh, my gosh.

10:27I think I'm going to get sick.

10:28What's going on?

10:29No.

10:30Everybody's leaving.

10:32Everybody.

10:32All the department heads.

10:34They're all jumping ship.

10:36This cannot be by accident.

10:38Of course it's not by accident.

10:39It has Victor Newman written all over it.

10:50I don't know what to do.

10:53One minute I'm excited to get back in the game, and the next I'm thinking, why am I even considering

10:59this, I have the perfect life with the perfect man?

11:04Wow.

11:05The perfect man.

11:06Okay, I like that.

11:07I don't know if I've heard that for quite a while.

11:09You know what I mean.

11:10Okay, okay.

11:13Let's work this out.

11:14All right?

11:15Okay, let's weigh the pros and cons, all right?

11:19So, no jetting off with your perfect man husband to some fabulous locale where you hear him sing

11:25his heart out.

11:26That's a con.

11:28Exactly what I said, yes.

11:29But, what if I were to cut back on some of my overseas concerts and, you know, spend more

11:39time at home with my beautiful DA wife?

11:41Now, there is a pro right there.

11:45Home would be Genoa City.

11:47Exactly, where I happen to have a son and a granddaughter.

11:49Wow, there's another pro.

11:51This is incredible.

11:52These are good pros, yeah.

11:53Mm-hmm.

11:54Mm-hmm.

12:00Okay, so, when do you have to let them know?

12:05I'm sure pretty soon.

12:07Yeah?

12:09You really want me to do this, don't you?

12:11Yeah, I want you to do whatever makes you happy.

12:13That's all I care about.

12:15I'm happy here as long as I'm with you.

12:22Well, I'd tell the two of you to get a room, but I'm pretty sure you've already got one upstairs.

12:26Daniel, come here, you.

12:28Oh, how are you on the side?

12:29Oh, I'm good, I'm good.

12:30Did you just get back?

12:31Yeah.

12:32How was the concert?

12:33Fantastic.

12:34Great crowd.

12:35You were missed.

12:36You and Tessa would have wowed them.

12:38Yeah, but, I mean, you know why I had to stay here, right?

12:42Of course.

12:43Things were just different once Mariah came back in the picture.

12:46Yeah.

12:48Okay, fine.

12:49You want to do this?

12:50Let's sit down.

12:55Hey, yes.

12:57I am so hurt and angry that you decided to go after Mariah behind my back.

13:03Again, I apologize for that, okay?

13:06But you knew where I stood because I told you that I was going to do everything I could to

13:09look into Mariah's plea deal to see what our rights were.

13:12No, no, no.

13:12You didn't tell me that you were going to try to get the plea deal reversed.

13:16No, you didn't say anything like that.

13:17Don't you think that that should have been something you told me that you gave me a heads up about?

13:21Yeah.

13:22Yeah.

13:23And let's talk about it right now.

13:25It's a little late for that.

13:26No, it's not.

13:27It's not at all.

13:28Because I would love to get to the bottom of why you really have a problem with what I did.

13:32I am your wife.

13:34We should have made that decision together.

13:36I understand.

13:37But beyond that, I get the feeling you don't want to do anything at all.

13:41I don't understand that.

13:42Because we're both Dom's parents, okay?

13:45And am I wrong to assume that his safety is our number one priority?

13:50That's not the issue, and you know it.

13:52It's the issue.

13:53It's the issue for me.

13:54I will always put Dominic first.

13:56Always.

13:58But how does this accomplish that?

13:59How does it accomplish anything?

14:01You must know that you don't have a great chance of overturning her plea.

14:06Of course I know that.

14:07The lawyer told me that it's a long shot, but it's our only option.

14:10It's the only thing we can do, and I feel like it's worth it.

14:13Then why would you even try to do that if you know you're going to fail?

14:17What is it?

14:18To try to force Mariah into doing something desperate?

14:24Oh, my gosh.

14:26That's just it.

14:27What?

14:28You want to force Mariah so far off the rails that they have no other choice but to take

14:35her out of the hospital and put her in jail.

14:37Okay.

14:38First of all, nobody's hoping that that happens.

14:41But if it does, I mean, is that the worst result?

14:52Don't tell me you're using that damn AI program again.

14:58Not the old one.

15:00The new one.

15:03I hired an AI from the moment I lost Newman Enterprises.

15:07What exactly does this program do?

15:10It'll prove Phyllis' illegal activities against me in the midst of my company.

15:15It'll prove there was an exchange of emails and texts between Phyllis and Billy Boy Abbott and Kane Ashby.

15:23It proved that she used AI to sabotage my company.

15:29And all the evidence will be foolproof with dates and digital signatures all appearing to have been executed while Phyllis

15:36was still running chancellor.

15:38So, you've signed up for this too, Victoria?

15:40What do you expect, Michael?

15:41It's my family's company.

15:43You kneecap the company, you threaten Phyllis with a prison sentence.

15:46That's a nice day's work.

15:48If I knew you were sincere, I would consider that a compliment.

15:52Oh, I am being sincere as far as part of it goes.

15:54Because if everything is as you say it is, Phyllis is in trouble.

15:59It's not as if Phyllis won't have a choice, Michael.

16:01She could fight a losing battle for a company that will soon no longer have a workforce and also be

16:08mired in scandal.

16:09Or, hand Newman Enterprises back over to me, and then maybe, maybe I'll let Phyllis go unscathed.

16:23This is okay.

16:24This is okay.

16:24We'll just let Victor overpay all of those stooges and wackies.

16:30No big deal.

16:30You know what?

16:31This is a really good lesson for us.

16:32It's a good lesson.

16:33The minute I walked in here, I should have fired every single person.

16:36I didn't do that.

16:37But we need to replace them, and fast.

16:39No problem.

16:40I have a file of resumes in there from the best people in the business.

16:44Don't worry about it.

16:45And you don't think that Victor anticipated that and cornered the market?

16:48We will just overpay to get people.

16:51Don't worry about it.

16:52It's not a good idea.

16:54I'm not going to let Victor roll over us.

16:57I'm not going to do that.

16:58I am not suggesting that.

16:59But you know what?

17:00We knew this was coming.

17:01We knew that Victor wasn't just going to walk off and lick his wounds.

17:05And this, this is the first strike.

17:08There could be more.

17:09Listen, this is just a bump in the road.

17:11That's all.

17:12Okay?

17:14Victor underestimated me once, and I got the best of him.

17:17I'm going to do it again.

17:19No one's going to take this away from me.

17:22Do you really trust this new AI program, Victor?

17:25Yeah, I do.

17:29It was designed for me personally.

17:32I'm one of the best software engineers in the world.

17:34Yeah, I'm sure you brought it.

17:35The best.

17:36You bet.

17:38What if it doesn't do what you ask it to do?

17:41It will do exactly as I ask it to do.

17:44Okay, then what if it does more than you ask it to?

17:46Meaning what?

17:47Meaning, what if you lose control of it, Victor?

17:50Victor?

17:54Victor?

17:55Victor?

17:58Look, Daniel, I know that you and Tessa broke things off when Mariah came back into town,

18:03and I was pretty insensitive, you know?

18:06Pushing you two to come out of town and do the show with me.

18:09Uh, no.

18:11No, I mean it.

18:12I don't even know what I was thinking.

18:13I mean, you, Tessa, and Barcelona, I mean, could I have rubbed it in anymore?

18:17Okay, look, I appreciated the offer, and Tessa did too.

18:21You were invited to come alone.

18:23Yeah, I know.

18:24I actually thought about it.

18:26But?

18:28I also thought that it might remind me of how great things could have been between the

18:32two of us, so I just figured it was better for me to stay here.

18:36There was that, and then I'm sure another reason for staying was to be here if Tessa needed

18:40your support.

18:42Yes, that is also true.

18:44Yeah, I thought so.

18:47So, um, Devon still hasn't backed down from challenging Mariah's plea deal?

18:53His feet are firmly dug in.

18:58Why?

18:59I think it all comes down to one thing.

19:03He doesn't think Mariah's being punished enough.

19:08So is vengeance what you want?

19:10Is that what's going to satisfy you?

19:12No, this isn't about revenge, Abby.

19:14It's about justice.

19:15By locking Mariah away for years?

19:18If the court says that that's what should happen, I don't know.

19:21We didn't even get a chance to get there because the judge and the DA threw her a lifeline

19:24and gave her an easy way out.

19:26Who are you right now?

19:27I have never seen you like this before.

19:29Abby, I'm sorry.

19:31I've never lived through having my son kidnapped before.

19:33I didn't get the manual or the pamphlet that tells me how I'm supposed to act.

19:36Did you get one?

19:36Can you just, can you lower your voice, please?

19:42Is it, is it that bad to you for me to want to see the person that took Dominic experience

19:48something that actually makes them think twice about doing it again?

19:52I'm not talking about some therapy sessions at some cushy hospital.

19:56I highly doubt that Mariah would find her hospital stay cushy or that her time there

20:01is not punishment.

20:02Well, I feel like that.

20:03That's how I take it.

20:04And I don't really care what Mariah thinks too much about anything right now.

20:07Yeah, and you obviously don't care what I think either.

20:09That's ridiculous to say.

20:11You know that's not true.

20:12I care very much about what you think.

20:13In fact, I'm very interested to know why you think we should let Mariah off the hook

20:16and why you're not as angry as I am.

20:22Is this wishful thinking on your part or genuine concern?

20:27It's concern.

20:28It's the same concern I had when, when Kane first unleashed that AI monster.

20:34It, he thought he could use it as an ultimate weapon too, but look what happened to him.

20:39His problem was he couldn't make up his mind as to what he wanted.

20:43Michael, the AI genie is already out of the bottle.

20:47It's not going away.

20:48It's just changed hands.

20:51Okay.

20:52Okay, I guess my next question is, why are you telling me all this?

20:56I don't work for you anymore, Victor.

20:58And you know that my wife is currently Phyllis' business partner.

21:01So, I know you're not expecting me to keep this news from Lauren.

21:05So, what is it?

21:06Why the heads up?

21:07Has it occurred to you that in deference to our past friendship,

21:11I might want to spare your wife unnecessary pain?

21:15All right, that, that sounds like a bit of a threat.

21:19You interpret that as you will.

21:22You should have warned Lauren not to side with Phyllis.

21:25You knew I would prevail.

21:28I warned her.

21:29And?

21:31Now I'm warning you.

21:34This manufactured evidence you're cooking up to hang Phyllis and Billy and Kane.

21:38Better not involve my wife.

21:40She was brought into the business long after that dog and pony show.

21:43I'm warning you to tell your wife to resign.

21:47Be Phyllis to her own fate.

21:53I'll pass along the news.

21:55Good.

21:57And by the way, don't forget your damn umbrella.

22:00Because the storm is brewing as we speak.

22:15Oh, oh no.

22:18There's more bad news.

22:19How could it get worse?

22:21Well, it's not just the executives that are handing in their notice.

22:24It looks like the whole building is heading out the door.

22:28You know what we're going to do?

22:30Replace those traitors.

22:32We can try.

22:33And we could start by you convincing Michael that he needs to come on board as our head of legal.

22:38Oh, I, uh, I don't know if that's going to happen.

22:41No, no, no.

22:42He can name his price.

22:44It's not money, Phyllis.

22:45Are you kidding me?

22:46He still has loyalty toward Victor?

22:50It's very complicated.

22:52Well, you need to uncomplicate things by making sure that he comes here.

22:57Come on, Lauren, we need him so bad.

22:59We need him.

23:01Oh, there's a message from Michael.

23:04Uh, he asked if I was free for lunch.

23:08Look at that.

23:09That, that is the universe telling you that you need to get him to come work here.

23:15That's what that is, okay?

23:17And that's what you need to do.

23:20Lauren, you need to do whatever it takes to get him here.

23:35I thought I heard your voice.

23:37Look at that.

23:37The prodigal rock star return.

23:39Hi, buddy.

23:39Good to see you.

23:41Yeah, looking good.

23:43Um, I didn't want to interrupt your family reunion, but I heard the most interesting rumor that you had been

23:49offered the DA position.

23:50Wait, what news travels fast?

23:54They called me less than an hour ago.

23:56Who do you think recommended you for the job?

23:59Uh, so you're behind this.

24:03Yeah, well, you know, I might have tipped the scales a bit, but why not?

24:07After me, there is no better attorney in town.

24:10I'll be so modest.

24:11Yeah.

24:12Thank you, Michael.

24:13Like, I really hope you take the job.

24:14Not only because Genoa City needs you, but because Lauren and I would selfishly like to see more of you

24:20guys.

24:21Oh, that goes for me, too.

24:22Since I basically disowned my mother at this point, it'd be nice to have Dad around a lot more.

24:26Hey, hey, listen.

24:27I know you're angry with Phyllis, but...

24:28This goes way beyond anger, Dad.

24:31I mean, I'm through with her at this point.

24:33Summer's through with her.

24:34And she's got what she's always wanted, so why don't you just let her enjoy it?

24:37Alone.

24:38Oh, but she really isn't alone.

24:41Is she, Michael?

24:43I will never for the life of me understand why Lauren would go work for Phyllis, and why you didn't

24:48stop her.

24:49Have you met my wife?

24:51I'm not the boss of her.

24:53She's not the boss of me.

24:54And I understand that, and I should probably keep my mouth shut, but we both know this can't possibly end

25:00well.

25:01Doesn't she see that?

25:05How do you think our talk with Michael went?

25:09That depends on him delivering the message.

25:12You know that things are moving quickly now.

25:14I thought it was very nice of you to give him a warning.

25:18Maybe there was a little part of you that felt like you owed it to him?

25:26Let me put it this way.

25:27I think Lauren made the mistake.

25:29Michael did not.

25:32Well, I just want you to know that I'm proud of you for doing that.

25:39So, you no longer think I'm the meanest man in the world?

25:43I never thought that.

25:46You can be stubborn sometimes.

25:48Like now, with Mom.

25:51I don't want to discuss that.

25:53Dad, we're about to get everything back.

25:56She should be here for that.

25:59So can't you just put aside your hurt and your anger and make things right with her?

26:05I know you don't want to lose her.

26:08I know you need each other.

26:12I'm sorry.

26:13I probably shouldn't have said something.

26:16It's okay.

26:17It's just that everything Phyllis touches...

26:21Hey.

26:21Hi.

26:22Hi.

26:22How are you?

26:24We were just discussing...

26:25Yeah, um, how the Romulatis may be permanent residents of Genoa City.

26:29Right, darling?

26:30Yes.

26:30Oh, that's so great.

26:31I can't wait to hear more.

26:33I will explain everything.

26:35It's good to see everyone.

26:36Come.

26:37Talk to you later.

26:38Sure.

26:39Bye.

26:41You really going to take the DA job?

26:44Uh, I don't know yet.

26:46It's tempting.

26:49Listen, I know you might not be able to answer this, but if you were the DA, would you have

26:55any pull with the courts about reversing Mariah's plea bargain?

27:04So, tell me more about Danny and Christine.

27:09Later.

27:13Michael.

27:16What's wrong?

27:19All right, there's no good way to come out with this, so I'm just going to say it.

27:24Summer's conglomerate is going down.

27:38Okay, leave.

27:39Leave.

27:40Go.

27:41Go.

27:41I don't need you.

27:42Go.

27:43Damn you, Victor!

27:53Uh, no.

27:55The DA isn't involved in reviewing Mariah's plea deal.

27:59It's up to a panel of judges who are meeting today anyway.

28:03That's what I thought.

28:04Just had to ask.

28:06Hey, we understand why.

28:08Yeah.

28:09Listen, if it's any consolation, I don't think Devon has a chance of overturning Mariah's

28:14sentence.

28:15Still possible, though, right?

28:17It's possible, but unlikely.

28:20I just, I wonder if Mariah's going to freak out when she finds out Devon's trying to do

28:24this.

28:24You know, she's not exactly in a great place right now.

28:27I'm starting to wonder if that's his ulterior motive.

28:31What, to drive her further over the edge?

28:34I'm just running out of explanations.

28:36A civil suit won't get Devon what he wants, and his lawyers must have told him this appeal's

28:41a long shot.

28:42It just doesn't sound like Devon at all.

28:44It isn't.

28:45But sometimes when people get angry or scared, it changes them.

28:51Usually not for the better.

28:55Why are you doing this?

28:58I, I don't know another way to say it.

29:00I'm doing it for our son's safety.

29:03It's as simple as that.

29:04And you honestly believe that if Mariah goes to jail, it will accomplish that.

29:09You know what?

29:09You keep asking me that question, Abby, and I'm going to keep telling you the same thing.

29:12I only care about what happens to my son.

29:14Our son.

29:16Our son.

29:17Don't you think I have a stake in this, too?

29:19Obviously.

29:20Obviously.

29:21You're just not acting like it with me right now.

29:22Why?

29:23Huh.

29:24Please, please.

29:25Enlighten me.

29:26Devon, what am I supposed to do?

29:27I, you know, nothing, I guess, right?

29:31Just like what you're doing.

29:33That is so unfair.

29:35Abby, what's been fair lately?

29:37You tell me.

29:38Is it fair that Dominic got kidnapped?

29:40Or that Lily and the twins disappeared and we had no idea what the hell happened to him?

29:43Is it fair that Mariah get released from a hospital and still be a threat to our family?

29:48How about the fact that I have a new family member that I don't trust at all?

29:51Like, nothing has been fair.

29:52But you know what would help?

29:53If my wife had more understanding for me than she does for the person that put our son in literal

29:59danger.

29:59And if you don't think that's how close it got, you're kidding yourself.

30:10Your mother knows how to make things right.

30:13And so far she has decided not to do it.

30:16What?

30:17Admit she was wrong?

30:18No.

30:24She doesn't want to be here.

30:28And you and I and the family have to adjust to that.

30:32And move on.

30:37Michael, it's been a very long, very weird morning.

30:41So if you know something, please tell me.

30:46All right, I promise.

30:48But you can't go back and tell Phyllis.

30:51You've got to swear to that.

30:52You know what a loose cannon she can be.

30:54And I don't want you pulled into this situation any deeper than you already are.

30:57I don't like the sound of this.

31:00We're not going to like the rest of it either.

31:05I think the consensus is that everybody wants you to take this DA job.

31:10That's really sweet.

31:11I just still have to think about it.

31:14How about this?

31:15I will decide by tomorrow.

31:17Okay.

31:17All right.

31:17Well, I'm going to leave you to it then.

31:19Oh, no, no.

31:19Wait, wait.

31:20Hey, I didn't mean that.

31:22Well, what'd you have in mind?

31:24Well, why don't we go upstairs and see what else is in that little goodie bag you brought

31:29home from me?

31:30Sometimes it's good to distract yourself.

31:33Well, your mind works on the problem.

31:35And you do something else.

31:37Yeah.

31:37Well, what are we doing sitting here?

31:39Let's go.

31:40Let's go.

31:40Right after you.

31:43Wow.

31:44So this is just all about you.

31:47Is that what I said?

31:48Pretty much.

31:49About me?

31:49Yeah.

31:50It's about you.

31:51You did all the worrying.

31:52You did all the suffering.

31:53You, you, you.

31:53All right.

31:54Hey, if that's the only point that you took from everything I said, I mean, what do I say?

31:58Well, that and that Mariah should just get whatever's coming to her.

32:03This is about trying to prevent her from doing what she did again.

32:07Devon, I don't just see Mariah as the woman that took our son.

32:11She also gave us our son.

32:13Oh.

32:14Mariah is a close friend of ours, and now she needs help.

32:17Okay.

32:18Oh, well, you know what?

32:19Then, Abby, let's help her.

32:21Let's help her.

32:21Let's invite her to dinner tonight.

32:23Oh, my God.

32:23Oh, no, here, better off, let's go on a date, and she can babysit Dominic because she's our friend.

32:28You're being such a jerk right now.

32:30I'm not trying to be a jerk.

32:31I'm not.

32:31I'm trying to be on my wife's side here.

32:33You want to protect the kidnapper, I want to protect our son.

32:36No, you want a pound of flesh, and you're not going to be happy until everybody's as miserable as you

32:40are.

32:41Okay.

32:44Hey, Vaughn, you got to admit to...

32:59What's going on, Abby?

33:01Why is your man still trying to punish Mariah?

33:05I don't know.

33:07It's not right.

33:08I know it's not right, but he won't listen to anyone.

33:12Daniel, I love my husband, but I don't know what to do.

33:17I've never seen him like this before.

33:20I don't want to start a fight with you, Dad.

33:22But the only people who can solve this are you and Mom, and I'm hoping that you can.

33:29Yeah.

33:30Have you heard from Nicholas and Adam?

33:33Nope, and I'm trying not to take that as a bad sign.

33:39I have my people in Las Vegas that look into it.

33:42I guess we're just going to have to trust that Adam and Nicholas are handling their business

33:45so that we can take care of ours.

33:48And we will handle ours.

33:50We're going to get Newman back, okay?

33:54And have Phyllis pay for it.

33:58Okay, Michael.

34:00You've prepared me.

34:01Now tell me what the bad news is.

34:06By the end of the week,

34:09Summer's conglomerate will cease to exist.

34:12Phyllis will lose control of it.

34:15And what's left of her mind.

34:18Well, you know, when I said name your prize, I wasn't kidding.

34:22You can highly recommend it.

34:23Right?

34:24Well, we're prepared to...

34:28What do you mean you can't?

34:32Has Victor Newman gotten to you, too?

34:34I'll see you then.

34:36Bye.

34:39Bye.

34:45Bye.

34:47Bye.
