00:06SÃ, Diana Abbott.
00:08Ah, eso es mi.
00:10Para ti.
00:11Es que es de Jack Abbott.
00:13No, no, ma'am.
00:16Gracias, Abbott.
00:37No, no, ma'am.
01:02No, no, ma'am.
01:48No, ma'am.
01:59It is definitely not just you.
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.
02:56Ah. And does this authority happen to be Victor?
03:02It does. He summoned me to the ranch to share what he has in mind.
03:10Well, 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
04:24me.
04:24You look so tense. Is everything good at 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.
04:40What did you guys do, Victoria? Would you pay all the employees off?
04:44Did you threaten them? Did 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.
05:14I 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?
05:31After my encounter with Diane yesterday, I thought it would be too painful for her to see me two days
05:36in 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.
05:44I guess I'll have the place all to myself.
05:46That might be a good thing. That means Diane's still at the hotel,
05:50hopefully 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. I 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
06:56life 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. The love that is forever.
07:07The love that is ever.
07:23Once its head is suffered by Josephine Baker.
07:30The love that is ever.
07:45i know you've been worried about this
07:47that if victor went after phyllis
07:50that 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
08:06now and then
08:07and you advise that i get out now all 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
08:38at 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
08:55but to make sure that you are fully informed as 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

09:25yes
09:26people without notice
09:27packing up their desks
09:29their offices
09:30their cubicles
09:31and of course we
09:32instantly suspected that victor was behind it
09:37your suspicions wouldn't be wrong
09:42wow victoria was that a threat
09:44you're trying to threaten me
09:46that's so cute
09:47no
09:47so weak
09:48no i'm just offering some advice
09:50well keep your advice to yourself
09:52and by the way when you see your daddy
09:54tell him his big move to take me down was a bust
09:57is that right
09:58yeah
09:59in fact you did lorne 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
10:06to run a multinational corporation
10:08with 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
10:26oh my god
10:28it's a beautiful day isn't it
10:29the air is absolutely inspiring
10:32leave me alone
10:34you look a little peaked
10:36air and sunshine might do you some good as well
10:39the only thing that would do me good
10:41is when you leave town
10:43well diane i have every right to be here
10:46i have been given a clean bill of mental health
10:50i have been given a clean bill of mental health from my doctors as you know so
10:52i 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
11:04but i know the truth
11:05and so does everyone else
11:07and no one wants you here
11:09are you sure about that
11:12well it might be hard for you to accept but
11:18jack is very happy that i'm back
11:22oh if only you could have seen the smile on his face before you caught us dead together
11:30they're delusional
11:31oh and it's just a matter of time before i put it there again
11:34and again
11:37and again
11:38get out of my way
11:40i mean diane it's not like you're by his side
11:44he's stuck in this hell hole
11:49obviously you're punishing the poor man
11:51and i am more than happy to console him
11:54you are the last thing that jack needs right now
11:59back at you babe
12:02when are you gonna realize that you don't deserve a man like jack
12:06i mean you might have
12:08done a decent job at reincarnating yourself but
12:14i know who you are
12:17you are the woman
12:19who slept with jack when i was pregnant with our child
12:23i lost that baby because of you
12:26that was because you fell
12:28after i saw the two of you having sex in his office
12:34my world imploded
12:37because of you
12:42i 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
13:15whatever shade of honesty works for you
13:18but the crafts
13:20diane they're starting to show aren't they
13:25and when it collapses
13:26and it will
13:29you'll be far more dangerous than i ever was

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
14:24they still want to root for their parents to get back together
14:27well i'm sorry to say this but i'm not holding out much hope
14:30that kyle's dreams will come true
14:33don't tell me you're giving up on diane
14:35i don't want to it just seems that way
14:38i'm sorry
14:39yes so am i
14:43crestfallen is a better word and look
14:45as remorseful as i feel
14:46i'm also angry
14:48that she refuses to
14:50even 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
15:03well
15:05maybe for diane it's less about the willing and
15:08more that she can't accept the fact that it happened at all
15:12yeah i'm having a bit of a problem accepting that fact myself
15:15i always thought our love was
15:18indestructible
15:19indestructible
15:19diane 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 i'm sorry that diane
15:30no no no don't blame diane for this
15:33there you go again
15:34finding understanding
15:35for her
15:36when she won't or won't even try
15:39to find it for you
15:40right now i'm busy
15:42blaming victor
15:44can you believe he used patty williams as a weapon against me
15:48now he would bring that woman
15:49back to town
15:50after everything she has done
15:52all of the heartache she has caused
15:56and
15:56to put your marriage
15:58and your life
15:59in jeopardy
16:00it is absolutely disgusting
16:05my children's dream of seeing their parents reunited may be just that
16:11an impossible dream
16:14the thing about my father
16:16is that one of his superpowers is
16:18he 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
16:28against me
16:29well you should enjoy being in my father's office because you're not going to be there for long
16:33hmm
16:33please
16:34oh
16:35great
16:36the day just got great
16:39hi
16:39hi thanks for joining me
16:41my pleasure
16:41yeah
16:43for the most part
16:44you said you said it was important
16:46yes it's very important
16:47actually um
16:48do you want to sit at the bar to look while you 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 in fact i think you'd find it very
17:04interesting
17:04really really uh phyllis is upset because uh apparently dozens of employees quit rather than work for the woman who
17:12stole my family's company
17:13okay that's not the truth and you know what's even sadder than that her own daughter won't even speak to
17:19her 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
17:25oh 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 gonna have to wait and find out
17:43how's phyllis handling the walkout
17:44how do you think
17:47like a badass
17:49completely proactive
17:50when 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
18:01that it would completely derail all of our plans to reinvent this company
18:05but
18:06phyllis said this actually gives us an amazing opportunity
18:10to handpick a loyal brilliant staff
18:16with you at the top 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
18:31and all of the top talent that we plan to recruit
18:34we show victor that we survived this attack
18:38and we ended up on top
18:40i'm afraid to tell you this
18:43isn't the master plan
18:44this is just step one
18:48there's more
18:49i'm afraid so
18:52and it's predatory
18:58you probably want to get back to your office
19:01work on those staffing issues
19:05you don't think i see what you're doing
19:07trying to get the bug on your side
19:11she can't hurt me
19:14my day started off so well
19:16i definitely didn't expect a run-in with phyllis
19:19yeah
19:19i'm sorry about that
19:21oh gosh the woman's insufferable
19:23what she's doing to your family is
19:26appalling
19:27how are you doing
19:28well
19:29we're definitely struggling
19:32but
19:32it's a little overwhelming
19:34if i think about it too much
19:35but you know my father
19:37newmans don't wallow
19:38they're proactive
19:39we keep our eye on the prize
19:43what is the prize exactly
19:46i was going to congratulate you
19:48although it may be a little too early
19:52congratulate
19:53we've heard that you've been offered the da position
19:55you know about that
19:57oh you know my dad
19:58he always has his finger on the pulse of everything consequential in genoa city
20:03why would what's happening at the da's office
20:07be 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 the weight of that shining new crown yet
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
20:29what i earned
20:30and it feels amazing
20:33and why do you look so unhappy
20:44oh thank you
20:47predatory
20:48that's a very scary word
20:51what is victor's strategy
20:59he's going to give phyllis a taste of her own medicine
21:01to quote him
21:05he's developed this ai program
21:08that will embed documents
21:10a chancellor
21:11that will provide evidence that
21:13phyllis along with pain and billy
21:16illegally took control of newman enterprises
21:19and its entities
21:22fake evidence
21:23i know
21:24well has he pulled the trigger yet
21:27i mean is this a reality
21:28it's already set in motion
21:30it will use the facts of what phyllis actually did
21:34to create receipts
21:35text emails
21:36documentation
21:36all generated to look like the real deal
21:40fraud conspiracy
21:41corporate espionage
21:42you name it
21:43and the fabricated evidence
21:46will be strong enough
21:47and believable enough
21:49to destroy her
21:52unless she gives back the company
21:55right
21:57that is correct
21:59she's so proud of what she's done
22:02and she's so excited about
22:05what we are about to do with this company
22:07she's never going to go for that
22:09well then
22:09she will suffer the consequences
22:11as will billy and
22:15kane
22:22i know you said that
22:24i can't tell her
22:28but
22:28i feel like i need to warn her
22:31i need to tell her
22:33what victor's plan is
22:36well i suppose it doesn't matter
22:37if you do or not
22:38since the game is already afoot
22:40and i assume that you are going to stay firmly by her side
22:44yes
22:45if i'm 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
22:55we have no choice but to deal with this together
22:59so
23:00does that mean that you're coming in as the head of legal
23:05you're not hearing me
23:08if victor has his way
23:10there will no longer be a company to represent
23:14which is why we have to convince our friend to get out from under this
23:18before 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
23:30given the serious criminal charges she may be facing
23:34the years
23:35decades
23:35she could be behind bars
23:37this is her only chance
23:38to save her reputation such that it is
23:41to save her life
23:45i'm telling you mrs martinez outdid herself
23:48you sure you're not hungry
23:50her ginger scones are pretty amazing

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
27:47it's a popular place this morning
27:49i think you saw phyllis
27:52yeah
27:53i suppose even bottom feeders need to eat

27:59are you the reason for that
28:01i sure as hell hope so

28:24and you phyllis
28:26you have been given
28:28more than a few second chances yourself
28:31i 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
28:41that you think you're owed some peace shows how delusional you really are

30:35she's actually been deemed cured

30:56okay uh did you tell them about our job offer
30:59i'm hoping you'll say yes
31:01the answer is uh
31:05i'd like to start by giving the principles of summer's conglomerate
31:09some extremely sound legal advice
31:15i really should be going
31:17you know that's not a bad idea
31:19instead of focusing so much energy on my marriage
31:22you might want to pay attention to what's left of yours
31:25although how you could forgive that man
31:27for 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
31:41a new shiny bauble
31:43hey who knows
31:44there might be a gift bag waiting for you
31:46there's no reason to drag nikki into our
31:48oh of course jack of course you'd be
31:49i don't mean to make you angry
31:51oh
31:52though it seems that's all i can do lately

32:16flawed yes
32:18imperfect yes
32:19but ready to open my arms to you
32:21anytime 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 by
32:48i want to commend you on a job extremely well done
32:53i wasn't sure whether to reach out to you
32:57but the results speak for themselves
33:00well it's definitely the best decision i've ever made
33:09how's harrison
33:10he's great
33:12especially given everything has happened after what your father pulled
33:16well i'm 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
33:32i
33:34i'm sorry
33:35yeah well that means
33:37about the same as phyllis saying those words to you
33:40nothing
33:41no
33:42excuse me
33:48what was that all about what did victor do
33:50well my father lost everything for phyllis so
33:54obviously he's desperate to make it right
33:56yeah 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
34:12or maybe the only reason
34:16what would you say if i told you i was privy to some information
34:20that you might find very interesting if you step back in as a da
34:27what kind of information
34:29the kind that would take phyllis down
34:32for good
34:35i love to hear sound legal advice
34:38especially from our head of legal at summer's conglomerate
34:43i'll get straight to the point
34:46life is about to get very very bad for you
34:48okay wow my goodness well that's a bad attitude
34:52um especially from our head of legal
34:55does this have to do with victor's loyalist quitting
34:58it's more than that
35:00your business isn't the only thing in jeopardy
35:03it's personal it's as nasty as it gets
35:07victor is about to put you in serious legal jeopardy
35:11oh is he okay well i don't have any friends
35:16present 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
35:28victor 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 gonna have to resign myself to the fact that
35:44diane will never get past what happened on that yacht
35:49she's definitely put up a lot of walls
35:53but
35:54that could be a good thing
35:58how can you even say that
36:01obviously she is still hurting because
36:03she's still very much in love with you
36:05and i believe that
36:07where there is love
36:09there is hope
36:11it is hard to find even a glimmer
36:14of hope when the woman i love
36:16can barely look at me
36:18i have tried everything
36:20nothing works
36:22i know how you feel
36:24seems that
36:26both of our marriages are
36:28reaching the desperate time stage
36:31might be time for the nuclear option
36:38newman ranch 2.0
36:41very impressive
36:47i am honored to have been invited
36:50definitely beats transacting our business over burner phones

37:03you keep that between the two of us
37:06oh just like old times
