00:11Good morning.
00:13Wow, you really ought to hit the gym.
00:18Good morning.
00:22You, uh, were not to work?
00:25I wasn't aware that Titan had casual fridays.
00:28I'm not going to work.
00:31Really?
00:31Mm-hmm.
00:32Why not?
00:33Well, because I busted my ass all week in the office this week.
00:37And since yesterday didn't go quite according to plan,
00:41I figured I'd take the day off,
00:43spend some time with my wife.
00:45Hopefully she has some free time, too.
00:48Actually, I do.
00:50Oh.
00:56Oh, my man.
00:57Hmm.
01:00Hmm.
01:03So, you're free, and I'm free.
01:07What do you want to do?
01:09You know, actually, I did have an idea.
01:12I was going to surprise you, but if you really want to know...
01:15No.
01:16Surprise me.
01:27And how are we doing, my wee crumpet?
01:30Hmm?
01:30You enjoying your stroll with your dad?
01:33I'm having the best time.
01:36Oh, wait a minute.
01:38Where's your teddy bear going?
01:40Oh, did you drop it?
01:45Yeah, she did.
01:48Thanks.
01:51Here you go, darling.
01:54Uh, is there something else?
01:58Yeah.
02:00Actually, uh...
02:01Xander, I just wanted to let you know that I will not be settling that lawsuit.
02:05Yeah, so I've heard.
02:06I, uh...
02:07I also heard that you've been running around town telling anyone who will listen that Kate
02:10and I set you up, which I suppose is easier than admitting your own confidence, isn't it?
02:17Excuse me?
02:18Oh, certainly no lawyer, but I would advise you to cease and desist, unless you want to
02:22get hit with further litigation.
02:24You son of a...
02:30How dare you threaten me when you know exactly what you and Kate did?
02:39Hey.
02:41What's going on?
02:52Marlena, hey.
02:57I was just waiting for Sarah and, uh, checking out some baseball scores, but do you want to
03:01join?
03:03Sure.
03:09What's going on?
03:10Is everything okay?
03:14No, it's not.
03:18I just came from Bayview.
03:20I thought I would try to visit Rachel, you know, before her sessions began, but...
03:28But, but what, what, what happened?
03:32Kristen has barred me from seeing her.
03:37She barred you from sitting on her?
03:40No, hell no.
03:50Morning, Kristen.
03:54Are you going to the hospital, or is it formal night on Splendor of the Seas?
03:59Ha, ha, ha.
04:00Neither.
04:01I'm headed to probate court.
04:03As the presumed executor of father's will, I need to appear in person.
04:09Sorry.
04:10Did you say presumed?
04:15Yesterday evening, I learned that a codicil to the will had been filed.
04:21What?
04:22By whom?
04:24Some overseas law firm.
04:27Though I can't say I'm entirely surprised, given the many years that have passed between
04:33drawing it up and father's passing.
04:35Hmm.
04:36Well, that is an intriguing plot twist.
04:39Indeed it is.
04:43What's that look?
04:44Oh, I just wonder, um, are you worried that the almighty Stefano de Mera cut his beloved
04:52son, the heir of parents, out of this will?
04:56No.
04:58I might be worried if I were you.
05:11Like sand through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.
05:28I do have to say, baby, you seem like you're doing a lot better.
05:33I didn't even feel you tossing and turning in bed all night.
05:38It's because I slept like a rock.
05:42And I think I know why.
05:45I think I know why, too.
05:48It's like a gun your dad brought you.
05:50Yeah.
05:51Yeah.
05:52Yeah.
05:53It's, um...
05:56It's giving me a sense of agency.
05:58You know, like I'm...
05:59Like I'm doing something proactive.
06:02Hmm.
06:03Taking control of my life.
06:06Good.
06:07I'm glad to hear it.
06:09Now you just have to learn how to use it.
06:12And how not to use it.
06:14Right.
06:15Of course.
06:17Hmm.
06:17I know that.
06:18Okay.
06:19Now your dad, he brought you, like, a gun safe and a case, right?
06:23Yeah, he did.
06:24And he's taking me to the shooting range later, so...
06:28We're gonna have to be back from our outing before then.
06:31Hmm.
06:31Whatever it is.
06:33Hmm.
06:33Hmm.
06:35Well then...
06:37What are we waiting for?
06:42Let's do this.
06:44Hmm.
06:46Me.
06:48Johnny and I were just...
06:50Discussing business.
06:52Yes, and now that discussion is over.
06:57It's nice to see you, Sarah.
06:59Good to see you, too, Johnny.
07:03Good to see you, Johnny.
07:04Hello, little to see you.
07:09You set the bar pretty low, but, um...
07:12Intimidating your competition in front of our daughter, I mean...
07:16Wait, you don't seriously think that I consider Johnny to be meaningful competition, do you?
07:21He's just a figurehead of that company.
07:24Which is thriving.
07:26Since when were you team Johnny?
07:28I've always been team Johnny.
07:29He's a very good guy.
07:30Boy, you were team Johnny until you decided to go toe-to-toe with him.
07:36He's happily married.
07:38He has a beautiful child.
07:40He has another one on the way.
07:44And he is CEO of a multinational corporation.
07:48I would say that he's not just meaningful competition.
07:51I'd say you're jealous of him.
07:57Kristen has no right to bar you from seeing our daughter, okay?
08:01I think she's forgotten the fact that we, uh, share custody.
08:06Our little girl needs love and support.
08:08All she can get right now, especially from the one person she trusts the most in the world.
08:14Why don't we give her a day or two to calm down before we send you in with guns blazing?
08:20I mean, we don't want to start another war, do we?
08:24Unfortunately, the war has already begun.
08:27She left my apartment in a rage the other day, saying, I never want to see your face again.
08:32You know, what infuriates me about that woman is that she puts so much energy into her revenge door,
08:40and none to the well-being of our little girl.
08:43No surprise.
08:47She's in for a surprise because I'm not going to let her deprive you of seeing your granddaughter.
08:56Marlene, I'm going to take care of this.
08:58I promise you that.
09:05Oh, don't get too cocky, E.J.
09:07The moment you start lording your alleged favored heir status over the rest of us is the moment the phoenix
09:17will rise up from the ashes and kick you in your manhood.
09:22I don't have time for this idiocy.
09:24Oh, oh, speaking of your manhood, you ought to quit walking around with that stupid backwards phoenix ring.
09:33Either turn it around and own it or pass it on to someone who will.
09:38Oh, you're just jealous that Rolf gave it to me and not to you.
09:44Please, don't be ridiculous, E.J.
09:48I don't need a gaudy ring to know who I am.
09:51All I want is access to the entire family home, including the tunnels.
09:59I want those access codes.
10:03For God's sake, the tunnels aren't safe.
10:06Oh, you mean they're not safe if someone finds out what's going on down there.
10:12Now, you're the one being ridiculous.
10:15You know, instead of wasting your time looking for Bigfoot or a UFO or whatever you think you might find
10:21down there,
10:22you ought to get your own house in order.
10:27And what the hell is that supposed to mean?
10:30It means perhaps you should focus on helping your daughter who is facing mental health challenges.
10:37You bastard.
10:38You bastard, don't you dare say that to me.
10:43Everything I do is for the...
10:45Rachel, yes, believe me.
10:48I, we've all heard that story time and time again.
10:55And in spite of your supposed fervent devotion to the girl, look where she is.
10:59In a nuthouse.
11:01So instead of pointing the finger at everyone else, perhaps it's time to look in the mirror and...
11:25What do you think?
11:26It's a fun surprise, no?
11:27Oh, my God, totally.
11:29Oh, my God, I am so psyched.
11:31I haven't been skydiving in years.
11:34Since you were a race car driver, right?
11:36Right.
11:37Back when my coach suggested that we find our thrills outside of the cockpit so that when we get behind
11:43the wheel, we'd be chill.
11:46I liked it so much I got my license.
11:49Wow.
11:50I've done it one time, right before a big job interview.
11:53And by a big job interview, I mean an assistant manager at a sports bar.
11:57Oh, well, did you get the job?
11:59No, no, did not get the job, but it definitely calmed me down.
12:02And I actually did end up starting a sports memorabilia business with the owner's son, so...
12:07Of course you did.
12:09Let's see what we got here.
12:11You must be Alex and Stephanie.
12:13That is us, and you are.
12:15Dave, pleasure to meet you both.
12:17Looks here like you guys already filled out the boring paperwork, so I'm just going to need you to sign
12:22a few forms.
12:23Yes, sir.
12:24Just FYI, this is a no-parachute dive.
12:27We like to believe Mother Earth has our back.
12:31I'm kidding.
12:33Scott Avenue.
12:35That's a good one, Dave.
12:36Hey.
12:38You know, you look familiar.
12:40Did I see your picture on the paper?
12:42Oh, uh, Dave.
12:44Ray, you're Steve Johnson's kid, the fellow with the patch.
12:50Yeah, that's my dad.
12:52Do you know him?
12:54Hired him once.
12:55Hell of a private eye.
12:58Anyway, uh, but he did tell me the one thing I didn't want to hear.
13:02While I was 10,000 feet in the air every morning, the missus was parachuting in to my business partner's
13:09lap.
13:10Oh.
13:11Oh.
13:12Good.
13:12Jeez.
13:13That sucks.
13:14I'm sorry.
13:14It's okay.
13:15The universe was talking, but I wasn't listening.
13:19But guess what?
13:20I'm better for it.
13:21I learned that marriage is the honeymoon before the betrayal.
13:25So if you want to keep things romantic, stick with weekend sleepovers and separate leases.
13:31No voucher point.
13:35Wow.
13:36That guy's a buzzkill.
13:38Oh, my God.
13:39Um...
13:39Clearly, he didn't see our wedding rings.
13:41Clearly.
13:42Um...
13:43Hey, let's not let him spoil our fun.
13:47No.
13:47Yeah.
13:47Not a thing could do that.
13:49No.
13:49Definitely not.
13:52But I cannot wait to soar through the sky together.
13:58One skydiving down.
14:01A lifetime of adventures to go.
14:12You know, I should be going, but before I do, I want to revisit the conversation I had
14:22with you about running basic black with Kate.
14:27Sure.
14:28And it's a great idea, by the way.
14:29No, I...
14:30I, uh...
14:31I don't think that's going to work out.
14:35Why?
14:37Oh, does this have anything to do with Johnny's accusations against Kate?
14:42Do you think that she set him up?
14:45I don't know.
14:48I just know that after I, after I heard what he said, my first thought was, oh, that, that
14:54wouldn't happen, Kate wouldn't do that, and then I, and then I wasn't sure.
15:01That you wouldn't put a pastor, is what you mean?
15:05Yeah.
15:08Look, I really, I really want this company to go forward, and I, and I think that John's
15:15company needs to be run by members of his family.
15:19So if I can't rely on Kate to handle the business part, I'm going to have to find somebody else
15:26that can step in there.
15:32Listen, technically I'm not a part of the company anymore, but I could help.
15:39And I'd be willing to do that until you could find someone on a more permanent basis.
15:45You would?
15:47Pretty, that would be amazing.
15:49Sure, hey, absolutely, I'll do this.
15:52Thank you so much.
15:55That's terrific.
15:57Wow.
15:59I'm so grateful.
16:01In fact, I'm going to call Xander, and I'm going to accept that position.
16:16I wonder, Sarah, are you going to continue waxing lyrical about Demera Jr. and lecturing me,
16:23or do you have any questions pertaining to our daughter?
16:26It's sort of like, oh, I don't know, has a sleepover going, is she having a nice time
16:30with her daddy, things like that.
16:34Hi, sweetheart.
16:36Hi, Mommy.
16:37Are you having fun with Daddy?
16:39Yes, I'm having the best time.
16:41Oh, my goodness.
16:43She had an amazing time at the zoo.
16:44You waved at the chimpanzees, didn't you?
16:46Did you wave at the chimpanzees?
16:48Yeah, they waved back and they blew me again.
16:52Oh, my goodness.
16:54Oh, my goodness.
16:56How did she sleep?
16:58Through the night.
16:59When she woke up, we had breakfast together and watched Peppa Pig.
17:03She didn't seem to miss you at all.
17:07Huh.
17:08Well, that's what we want, isn't it?
17:10Mm-hmm.
17:11For her to be okay with you and me.
17:15Right.
17:16Well, what'd you say, my wee crumpet?
17:19While we wait for Fran to get here, should we find you some fro-yo?
17:22Hmm?
17:23Yeah.
17:24Crumpet.
17:24That's just a silly little nickname I gave her, but she seems to love it.
17:27Come on, off we go.
17:29Okay, bye-bye.
17:30Mommy loves you.
17:30Bye, Mommy.
17:37You keep my daughter's name out of your mouth.
17:42Go!
17:44The violence is never the answer, Thryston.
17:48But as a parent myself, I do realize you're suffering.
17:54You have no idea what I am feeling.
17:59Don't I?
18:01At least your daughter loves you.
18:05Thinks you hung the moon.
18:08But, Johnny, for a very long time, my son shunned me.
18:14So, yes, I do know the pain of feeling that your child has lost you.
18:21Hmm.
18:22Oh.
18:24Do I applaud now, or is there more to this performance?
18:29I was being sincere, Thryston.
18:33And I am very sorry that I hurt your feelings before.
18:37But I do care about my niece.
18:40And I'm sure she will be released from Bayview very soon.
18:45Oh.
18:45Oh, you're sure, are you?
18:50Really?
18:53Have you spoken with her doctor, CJ?
18:57Of course not.
18:59I'm just speculating.
19:05One thing that I am very sure of, hmm, is that if you ever lay another hand on me,
19:19I will not turn the other cheek.
19:25Do you think what happened to your mother was bad?
19:31You do not want to go to war with me.
19:40Bring it on, little brother.
19:45Bring it on.
19:55That was unbelievable.
19:58Are you kidding me?
19:58It just happened so fast.
20:00I know.
20:01That zero to 60 feeling.
20:03It's hard to put in words, right?
20:05The combination of fear and excitement.
20:07Bring it in my adrenaline right now.
20:09My God, what a rush.
20:11That was...
20:14This is just what I needed.
20:16To be flying through the air, weightless.
20:19The past, the future, it all disappeared, and I just felt...
20:25Oh, present.
20:27Present for the first time in a long time.
20:31Let's do it again.
20:33What do you mean?
20:34Like right now?
20:35Right now, why not?
20:36Why not?
20:37Baby, that feeling.
20:38Look at me, that feeling you just described, jumping out of a plane.
20:42I want more of that for you all the time.
20:46I love you so much.
20:49I love you, too.
20:52I love you.
21:20I'm sorry.
21:21I'm late.
21:22I'm just...
21:23I had a run in with Xander, and it just made my blood boil.
21:27Oh, God.
21:28What happened?
21:30I walk up, and he's picking a fight with Johnny DeMira in front of our daughter,
21:34and then he has the nerve to say to me that she didn't miss me on their sleepover.
21:39Ew.
21:40What a jerk.
21:41I know.
21:42I mean, seriously, that's...
21:45I relate.
21:46Kristen's making me so...
21:47Oh, my God.
21:48I could punch a hole through that wall, Sarah.
21:51Me, too.
21:52Right here.
21:58Should we do something about it?
22:09Oh, Dr. Evans.
22:11Well, what a treat it is to have you in my office for a chance.
22:15Can I get you a coffee?
22:16No, no, thank you.
22:18Well, I hope you haven't come here seeking therapy, because I've read a few self-help books, but beyond that...
22:23Hmm.
22:24No.
22:26I've come to talk to you about joining Basic Black.
22:30Oh, yes.
22:31Now, I've heard about this from Maggie and from Kate, your desire to step into a leadership position.
22:36I think it's a fantastic idea.
22:38Two powerful women, John Black's widow, joining forces with the executive he started the company with
22:43to restore Basic Black to its former glory.
22:46It's brilliant.
22:48I didn't see it exactly like that.
22:51I'm sorry, I'm...
22:52What do you mean?
22:54Well, after careful consideration, I've decided that I...
23:00I don't want to work with Kate.
23:03I don't understand.
23:04Why not?
23:07I have my reasons.
23:10But I do want to accept the position.
23:13And the good news is that Brady has agreed to consult.
23:17So we will have him to help us until we find someone to replace Kate.
23:24And you've decided that, have you?
23:28I'm the one who gets to decide, Marlena.
23:31And the answer is no.
23:35No.
23:42Excuse me, what the hell do you think you're doing?
23:46What does it look like I'm doing?
23:48I'm reading a book?
23:51Do you read?
23:53Emma.
23:54I have to say, Jane Austen was such an amazing writer.
23:59What I meant is how dare you show your face in this town
24:04after your disruptive sideshow of the adoption
24:07of my son and daughter-in-law's baby.
24:14You mean my baby?
24:17Oh, bless.
24:19That child isn't yours anymore.
24:23Well, I'm surprised that you still have a son,
24:27considering what you put Johnny and his family through
24:29during his attempted murder trial.
24:32Though it seems that you've redeemed yourself
24:34and you're back in his good graces
24:36now that you've, you know,
24:39made sure that your creepy son and his wife
24:40will be raising my baby.
24:43Life must just be so good, huh?
24:46For some people it is.
24:49For those for whom it isn't, well,
24:53we'd prefer they're not spoiled it for the rest of us.
24:56So do yourself and everyone else here a favor
24:59and get the hell out of Salem.
25:09And what if I don't get the hell out of Salem?
25:13What are you gonna do then?
25:15Gonna wave your magic wand and make me disappear?
25:22Oh, I don't need a wand to do that.
25:26I know that you've cultivated this, like,
25:29really menacing aura,
25:30but I'm just not scared of you, Mr. DiMera.
25:38You don't need to be scared for me to ruin you.
25:47For God's sake, C.J.,
25:51surely you have better things to do
25:55than threaten an 18-year-old girl.
26:00Oh, twice in one morning.
26:02Lucky me.
26:04Has my brother upset you, Sophia?
26:08Sophia, it's okay.
26:09No.
26:11No, it's not okay.
26:13How dare you intimidate this young woman
26:16who was, by the looks of it,
26:18minding her own business.
26:21What the hell business is this of yours?
26:24I know Sophia quite well.
26:27She and Rachel became good friends at Bayview.
26:31Oh, that sounds like a beautiful friendship.
26:35What'd they do?
26:36Exchange straitjackets?
26:38Enough, E.J.
26:39Is it?
26:40I mean, you're the one lecturing me on ethics.
26:43Meanwhile...
26:43Okay, you know what?
26:44When Rachel was in a tough spot,
26:47Sophia helped her, had her back.
26:50That is a foreign concept
26:52to a man who could write a book
26:55on the art of betrayal.
26:56And you could pen the foreword.
27:00You stay away from Sophia.
27:02Do you hear me?
27:04Or else I will.
27:07Or else what?
27:09Krista, you'll release the Kraken?
27:12Let me remind you.
27:16I won't be turning any other cheek this time.
27:22Oh.
27:23Don't push me, brother.
27:26I don't need to push you, Kristen.
27:29I just need to stand back
27:31and wait for the collapse.
27:33It always comes.
27:37This isn't over, young lady.
27:42Far from.
27:48Wow.
27:50Your brother's a little bitch.
27:53Yeah.
27:55You're right about that.
28:02Okay.
28:03Can I open my eyes now, please?
28:04No.
28:05I said no peeing.
28:06Okay, all right.
28:07I'm not peeing.
28:08Okay, so here's a hint.
28:09Yeah.
28:10You brought me here once
28:12when I was having a particularly difficult day.
28:16Okay.
28:17Okay.
28:19And it worked wonders.
28:22Hmm.
28:23So, I felt like we could both use the healthy dose of this today.
28:29So now you can open your eyes.
28:35Oh.
28:36Oh, Doc.
28:39You have definitely written the right prescription.
28:42Mm-hmm.
28:45Oh, yes.
28:47Mm-hmm.
28:48Oh, listen.
28:49I would love to take you back up,
28:52but I have a bridesmaid party arriving, like, now.
28:55Oh.
28:56Well, Stephanie is my new bride.
29:00If knowing that can maybe squeeze us in.
29:02Your new bride?
29:04Man, I didn't know you guys were married.
29:07Your driver's license said Johnson.
29:08Oh.
29:09Right, I didn't see that.
29:11Oh.
29:12Oh, hey, sorry if I roasted matrimony a bit too hard before.
29:17I was just venting, you know?
29:19Hey, you know what?
29:20Apology accepted, my man.
29:22On behalf of all married people everywhere.
29:24Mm-hmm.
29:25All right, go check the schedule,
29:27see what I can work out.
29:28Awesome.
29:36Oh, my God.
29:41What is that?
29:44It's just...
29:46You've been trying so hard to figure out how to help me.
29:51How to figure out what it is that I need.
29:55And I know it hasn't been easy.
29:59But you didn't give up on me.
30:02Never.
30:03And I didn't realize what I needed was this.
30:12Being up there with nothing but the sky, the earth, and you.
30:23I mean, it should be terrifying, right?
30:26Plummeting thousands of feet.
30:29But it wasn't.
30:32Because I had you there.
30:34Mm-hmm.
30:35We had each other.
30:37And that is how it is going to be from now on.
30:42Always.
30:51Oh, sorry to interrupt.
30:54Unfortunately, I'm at capacity.
30:57Can't squeeze you guys in after all.
30:59But I have a feeling you guys will come up with something to do.
31:04You know what, Dave?
31:05I think we will.
31:07For sure.
31:16They won't do it over video conference.
31:20Then have one of the interns send the dad.
31:23Good now.
31:23Thanks.
31:25Oh, Johnny.
31:27Hey, Dad.
31:27You, uh, waiting for someone?
31:30No, I'm not, sir.
31:32And I wish that I could stay and chat, but I have to get to probate court.
31:39You know another's will?
31:40Yes.
31:42And, son, I know you once said you don't want any of that Demira blood money.
31:49But regardless of where that money came from,
31:54it can be used for good.
31:58And to help out that beautiful family of yours and make sure they never want for anything.
32:08All that said, I just hope that you'll reconsider your earlier position and when the time is right.
32:16Accept what's right for yours.
32:22Excuse me.
32:24Did you just tell me no?
32:27But, Evans, with all due respect,
32:30you don't know the first thing about the fashion industry or even running a business.
32:35Kate is an expert in both.
32:38And if your decision to jettison Kate is based on something said or not said in my therapy session,
32:45then that'd be rather unethical, don't you think?
33:03I can't believe...
33:07I almost took you bowling.
33:12You did not.
33:15You know I'm a terrible bowler.
33:18Wait, what?
33:19No.
33:19The last time we went, you scored like a 175.
33:23That was a fluke.
33:25And you are an amazing bowler, which I do not like.
33:29Oh, I noticed.
33:32It's a good thing I took you skydiving instead.
33:34It was perfect.
33:38And I promise you, a lifetime of adventures.
33:46First the sky, then the moon.
33:52I can't wait.
34:02What's up?
34:03What do you say?
34:05Ready to exercise that anger, that rage?
34:10Anything we're feeling about our stupid exes?
34:15I want to rip everything in here to shreds.
34:19Damn straight.
34:19I want to do it.
34:20Yeah.
34:21You want to do it?
34:22Yeah, you want to do it?
34:24Yeah.
34:25Go ahead.
34:28Screw you, man!
34:29We're messing with our kids!
34:31Harry!
34:33I didn't think so!
34:34Corny, Corny!
34:35Corny, what do you mean?
34:37What do you mean?
34:38What do you mean?
34:39What do you mean?
34:40What do you mean?
34:41What do you mean?
34:41What do you mean?
34:41What do you mean?
34:58You want to keep going?
35:00Do you want to keep going?
35:02I love it.
35:03I love it.
35:08I love it.
35:09I love it.
35:29Kristen and Xander, who?
35:32I don't know.
35:46You know, I read up a lot on personality disorders when I was at Bayview, and I gotta say, your
35:53brother checks a lot of boxes.
35:56Yeah, he's an arrogant, narcissistic, sadistic, sadistic, jerk.
36:04You know, every family has their issues.
36:09i guess i'm pretty lucky though i mean my mom and dad are overly protective and my brothers
36:17are messy and annoying and they always eat food out of the fridge without asking but
36:28we really love each other and i'm really gonna miss them so much
36:41you're not going soft on me now are you sophia no no uh your your brother is right
36:51i do need to leave salem and and start a brand new life oh and that's exactly what you're going
36:57to do
36:59once your mission is completed
37:04dad um i'm not even gonna have to think about accepting an inheritance for years and decades
37:10and look at you you're you're alive and well you're gonna stay that way okay for a long time
37:17well i certainly hope so but life well it has its own agenda doesn't it
37:30yeah yeah it does uh i mean that's that's why you have to make every moment count
37:40work at least try it
37:44are you all right son yeah no i'm fine everything's fine yeah all right well
37:55if i don't leave now i'm gonna be hanging for court we'll pick this up later
38:11oh xander are you going to lecture me about ethics after what you and kate did to johnny
38:19marlena
38:22i understand your frustration believe me this was your late husband's company
38:27but in order for it to survive and better yet thrive you need to partner with someone who
38:32actually wants to be there and knows what the bloody hell they're doing that's why i'm suggesting
38:37brady brady was very checked out when he worked for me that's why i had to fire him
38:42no you fired brady because he was having a relationship with your ex-wife
38:48if titan were not in such a precarious position
38:52then i might feel that i have the leeway to experiment with brady again but i don't
38:58and to be frank john black was a very brave man and a very kind man but his understanding of
39:07the
39:07fashion world was limited that's not true john made basic black a success no kate did that
39:20john made the right decision when he hired her to shepherd him through a dog eat dog world that he
39:25didn't understand and now i'm doing the same thing by hiring the same person to do the same
39:31for you kate's not only iconic she's obviously perfect for this job so
39:38you will do this with kate well you won't do it at all
40:05hmm
40:07You know, if I didn't have to go meet my dad, I would have my way with you right here,
40:18right now.
40:20Oh, well, the good news is I will be right here waiting for you to get back.
40:28I might even return a favor.
40:33I'll raise you at least one.
40:50I think I feel like 20 pounds lighter.
40:53Oh, absolutely.
40:55I mean, who would have thought a bubble TV and a DVD player could just...
41:00Oh, my God, a VCR.
41:01Don't forget, I bashed a VCR.
41:03There was a VCR.
41:05We're thinking of that.
41:07You know, I got to tell you, you waving that bat around and yelling and screaming and taking charge like
41:15that, it was kind of a huge turn on.
41:20Was it now?
41:22Yeah.
41:24Yeah.
41:27Then I guess maybe you should take me back to your house so you can see how in charge I
41:32really can be.
41:45So, when are we going to, like, you know?
41:55When the time comes to pull the trigger, so to speak, I will let you know.
42:04And Sophia...
42:05Yes?
42:07Don't screw this up.
42:24That was fast.
42:27Mm-hmm.
42:28As it turns out, my presence in the court was unnecessary.
42:33A codicil to your grandfather's will was filed, and it turns out I'm no longer the executive of the estate.
42:39And it turns out I'm no longer the case.
42:41What?
42:43Well, then who is?
42:45Your cousin's there.
42:49Wow.
42:51I wonder what else known I've changed.
42:53We won't find out until the will reading another stipulation of the great Stefano de Mira.
42:59Not that I should be surprised.
43:01Oh, and your grandmother has been added to the list of beneficiaries.
43:07Really?
43:08Grandma Susan?
43:10Your other grandmother.
43:14Marlena.
43:17So, what's it going to be?
43:19Will you work with Kate?
43:21Or not.
43:25I don't like ultimatums.
43:27I'm simply stating my position.
43:29No, you're doing a lot more than that.
43:32You're trying to paint me into a corner.
43:36I find that disappointing and infuriating.
43:42And I have nothing more to say.
44:04That was fast, baby.
44:06Would you forget your keys?
44:09Joy?
44:11Joy?
44:15Well, I got it.
44:18I can't.
44:19I can't.
44:20I know.
44:21I can't.
44:24Everything.
44:28infantile music.
44:29I know.
44:41I can't.
44:41I can't.
44:42I can't.
