01:56all right good luck at your interview keep me posted okay all right bye
02:07hey can you avoid me forever
02:10oh
03:42And so far, summer's a 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, but I got a sneaky feeling that dark clouds might
04:01be rolling in.
04:04Benmore signed me up for an online comedy class. Pretty good, huh?
04:07Can you sit down?
04:09Yeah, okay.
04:12I called you here to tell you that I have plans to reclaim Newman Enterprises.
04:19All right. Well, uh, are 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' business partner at the moment.
04:33You got it.
04:36Am I here to be warned?
04:38I just want you to know that I planned to force Phyllis to return Newman Enterprises to me.
04:49The plan is in operation right now.
05:02Devon, I just, I don't want to do this right here, right now.
05:04I don't want to do what? Have a conversation?
05:07Not here in public, no.
05:09Well, you're doing a pretty good job of avoiding me in private, too.
05:13Did you get the text message that I sent you on my way home from work last night about Lillian
05:16Holden?
05:18Yes, I did.
05:19You did?
05:21Didn't make you want to ask any questions about Lillian?
05:24Or about how I feel, having a new family member?
05:29I was in bed when you sent the text.
05:31Okay. What about this morning?
05:33You were asleep when I left the house.
05:35You left a lot earlier than usual, though.
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. You could have called me.
05:45I mean, the news is a pretty big deal, don't you think?
05:49Of course it is. I know that it is.
05:50You know, it is, but I guess it's just, it's disappointing that my wife didn't figure to even acknowledge it.
05:58Well, then why didn't you wake me up?
06:00Why 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?
06:10Come on. Don't turn this around, all right?
06:12You've been avoiding me, and I think I have a good idea why.
06:18This was out of the blue, all right? Completely unexpected.
06:23Apparently, the D.A. is stepping down.
06:25Health reasons, I guess, and they want to know if I will finish her turn.
06:32Well, this is great.
06:35Yeah. No, 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, says you.
06:44Not everyone loved my role there, but you know what?
06:47I won more than I lost.
06:49Yeah, so, um, all right, so are you going to accept it?
06:56I'm honestly not sure.
06:58What's holding you back?
06:59I mean, you.
07:01Me?
07:02Our life together, I sort of like being a semi-retired wife of a rock star.
07:08Cricket, hey, come on.
07:12This is, this is your forum, all right?
07:16Law is your passion, as 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, and
07:27that 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.
07:49And I missed you.
07:52Okay.
07:54So I think that settles it.
07:56I think, I 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 and
08:16with yourself, all right?
08:17And in a perfect world, all right, would be in the DA again.
08:23Would 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
08:35and kept on all of the high-level executives who have pledged their allegiance to her
08:39and returned for some very hefty raises and bonuses.
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,
09:01and then the press is going to have a corporate funeral for 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?
09:26Phyllis' second big mistake was
09:28that she gave me back control of Chancellor Industries,
09:31and I shall use that against her.
09:35Oh, I spoke to the head of accounting this morning.
09:38Oh, my goodness, okay.
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,
09:53I 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.
10:07You 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, I think I'm going to get sick.
10:28What's going on?
10:29No, everybody's leaving.
10:32Everybody, all the department heads, they'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.
10:56And the next, I'm thinking, why am I even considering this?
11:00I have the perfect life with the perfect man.
11:04Wow.
11:05The perfect man.
11:06Okay, I like that.
11:07I've heard that for quite a while.
11:09You know what I mean.
11:10Okay, okay.
11:11Let's, let's, let's work this out.
11:14All right.
11:15Let's weigh the pros and cons, right?
11:19So, no jetting off with your perfect man husband to some fabulous locale where you hear him sing his heart
11:26out.
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 time
11:39at 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.
11:50Wow, there's another pro.
11:51This is incredible.
11:52These are good pros, yeah.
11:59Okay, 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, sir?
12:10I 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 set?
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, things 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.
12:56Hey, 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.
13:41No, I 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
14:34but to take her 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 firm 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
15:19between Phyllis and Billy Boy Abbott and Kane Ashby.
15:23It proved that she used AI to sabotage my company.
15:28And all the evidence will be foolproof with dates and digital signatures
15:32all appearing to have been executed while Phyllis was 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
16:06and also be mired in scandal.
16:09Or hand Newman Enterprises back over to me.
16:15And 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 lackeys.
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 fax.
16:39No problem.
16:40I have a file of resumes in there from the best people in the business.
16:44Don't worry about me.
16:45And you don't think that Victor anticipated that and cornered the market?
16:48We will just overpay.
16:50To get people.
16:51Don't worry about it.
16:52That is 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.
17:18And no one's going to take this away from me.
17:22Do you really trust this new AI program, Victor?
17:26Yeah.
17:27I 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?
17:58Look, 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.
18:21But you 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 two of us,
18:32so 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 your support.
18:42Yes, that is also true.
18:44Yeah, I thought so.
18:48So, 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.
19:07So is vengeance what you want?
19:10Is that what's going to satisfy you?
19:12This isn't about revenge, Abby.
19:14It's about justice.
19:16By 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 and
19:24gave 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?
19:52And I'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 is 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.
20:34He 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 Lawrence.
21:05So what is it?
21:06Why the heads up?
21:07Has it occurred to you that in deference to our past friendship, I might want to spare your wife unnecessary
21:13pain?
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 am telling you to tell your wife to resign.
21:48Leave 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.
22:14Oh.
22:16Oh, 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...
22:39I 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.
22:58Come on, Lauren.
22:58We need him so bad.
22:59We need him.
23:01Oh.
23:02There'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.
23:16That'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.
23:39Good 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? They 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? After me, there is no
24:08better attorney in town.
24:10I'll be so modest.
24:11Yeah.
24:12Thank you, Michael.
24:13Look, 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. I know you're angry with Phyllis, but...
24:28This goes way beyond anger, Dad.
24:31I mean, I am 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. Is she, Michael? I will never for the life of me understand why Lauren
24:46would go work for Phyllis, and why you didn't stop her.
24:49Have you met my wife? I'm not the boss of her. She'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. Doesn't she see that?
25:05How do you think our talk with Michael went?
25:09That depends on him delivering the message. You 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. I think Lauren made the mistake. Michael 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,
26:01and make things right with her?
26:04I know you don't want to lose her.
26:07I know you need each other.
26:12I'm sorry. I probably shouldn't have said something.
26:16It's okay.
26:17It's just that everything Phyllis touches...
26:20Hey.
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. I 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,
26:51but if you were the DA,
26:54would you have any pull with the courts
26:56about reversing Mariah's plea bargain?
27:05So, 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,
27:21so 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!
27:45Victor!
27:54Uh, 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,
28:10I don't think Devon has a chance of overturning Mariah's sentence.
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 this.
28:25You know, she's not exactly in a great place right now.
28:27I'm starting to wonder if that's his ulterior motive.
28:30What, to drive her further over the edge?
28:34I'm just running out of explanations.
28:35A civil suit won't get Devon what he wants,
28:38and his lawyers must have told him this appeal's a 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,
28:49it changes them.
28:52Usually not for the better.
28:55Why are you doing this?
28:58I don't know another way to say it.
29:00I'm doing it for our son's safety.
29:02It's as simple as that.
29:04And you honestly believe that if Mariah goes to jail,
29:08it will accomplish that?
29:09You know what?
29:09You keep asking me that question, Abby,
29:11and 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.
29:23Why?
29:24Please, please, enlighten me.
29:26Devon, what am I supposed to do?
29:28I, 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
29:41and we had no idea what the hell happened to them?
29:43Is it fair that Mariah get released from a hospital
29:45and still be a threat to our family?
29:48How about the fact that I have a new family member
29:49that 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
29:56than she does for the person
29:57that put our son in literal danger.
29:59And if you don't think that's how close it got,
30:02you'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?
30:24She doesn't want to be here.
30:28And you and I and the family
30:30have to adjust to that
30:32and move on.
30:36Michael,
30:37it's been a very long,
30:39very weird morning.
30:41So if you know something,
30:43please 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
30:53and I don't want you pulled into this situation
30:55any deeper than you already are.
30:58I 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
31:07that everybody wants you
31:08to take this D.A. 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.
31:17I'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?
31:24Um, well,
31:25why don't we go upstairs
31:27and see what else is in that little goodie bag
31:29you brought home for me?
31:30Yeah, sometimes it's good to distract yourself
31:33while your mind works on the problem
31:35and you do something else.
31:37Yeah, well, what are we doing sitting here?
31:38Uh, let's go.
31:40Let's go.
31:40We're after you, darling.
31:43Wow, so this is just all about you.
31:47Is that what I said?
31:48Pretty much.
31:49It's about me?
31:49Yeah, it's about you.
31:51You did all the worrying.
31:52You did all the suffering.
31:53You, you, you.
31:54Hey, if that's the only point
31:55that you took from everything I said,
31:57I mean, what do I say?
31:58Well, that and that Mariah should just get
32:00whatever's coming to her.
32:03This is about trying to prevent her
32:04from doing what she did again.
32:07Devon, I don't just see Mariah
32:09as the woman that took our son.
32:11She also gave us our son.
32:14Oh.
32:14Mariah is a close friend of ours
32:16and 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.
32:25Let's go on a date
32:26and she can babysit Dominic
32:27because 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,
32:34I want to protect our son.
32:36No, you want a pound of flesh
32:38and you're not going to be happy
32:39until everybody's as miserable as you are.
32:41Okay.
32:44Hey, Vaughn, you got a minute to...
32:59What's going on, Abby?
33:01Why is your man still trying to punish Mariah?
33:05I don't know.
33:06It's not right.
33:08I know it's not right,
33:09but he won't listen to anyone.
33:12Daniel, I love my husband,
33:14but 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.
33:23The only people who can solve this
33:24are you and Mom,
33:25and I'm hoping that you can.
33:29Yeah.
33:30Have you heard from Nicholas and Adam?
33:34Nope, and I'm trying not to take that as a bad sign.
33:39I have my people in Las Vegas who look into it.
33:42I guess we're just going to have to trust
33:43that 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,
34:19when I said name your price,
34:20I wasn't kidding.
34:22You can highly recommend it.
34:24Right.
34:24Well, we're prepared to...
34:28What do you mean you can't?
34:32Has Victor Newman gotten to you too?
34:34What do you mean you can't do?
34:37What do you mean you can't do?
34:40What do you mean you can't do?
34:44What do you mean you can't do?
34:48What do you mean you can't do?
34:51What do you mean you can't do?
34:52What do you mean you can't do?
34:53What do you mean you can't do?
34:53What do you mean you can't do?
34:55What do you mean you can't do?
34:55What do you mean you can't do?
34:56What do you mean you can't do?
34:56What do you mean you can do?
34:57What do you mean you can do?
34:58What do you mean you can do?
34:58What do you mean you can do?
35:00What do you mean you can do?
35:01What do you mean you can do?
36:03We're right back.
