00:04I was fast.
00:06Would you forget your keys?
00:10Joy.
00:12Hey, Alex.
00:15Hi, this is a surprise.
00:19What are you doing here?
00:22Um, I actually wanted to introduce you to somebody.
00:53Oh, hey, Liam.
00:55Hmm, Ori?
00:57Are you looking for a book?
01:00Uh, no, no.
01:01I work here now.
01:01It's my first day.
01:04That's right.
01:04You had an interview with Julie a few weeks ago.
01:07You got the job, obviously.
01:09Yeah, yeah, I did.
01:11That's great, Liam.
01:12Congrats.
01:14So I guess you'll be seeing a lot of me for the next couple of days.
01:19I mean, I do have finals coming up, and this is kind of my study spot.
01:26Well, then I'll let you get to it.
01:45You wanted to see me?
01:48I always want to see you.
01:52Yeah, I...
01:54Business before pleasure.
01:58Please have a seat, Mr. Hernandez.
02:02Of course, Mr. Kariakas.
02:15Titan's proposal to handle Gabby Sheik's expanded international distribution.
02:21Hmm.
02:22Thank you for putting this together so quickly.
02:27I hope our offer is satisfactory.
02:32Hmm.
02:34You said Xander.
02:36Excuse me.
02:38Your co-CEO is on his way to Chicago for a meeting?
02:43He is.
02:44Why do you ask?
02:47I'm just wondering how far you'll go to satisfy clients.
03:00Is there any wiggle room
03:06in your business before pleasure policy?
03:15That is totally open to negotiation.
03:21Well, I do have a few demands.
03:27Oh, I'm sure I can deliver.
03:49Not bad for a first shot.
03:51Not bad at all.
04:07Who's this cutie?
04:09This is Kelsey.
04:13It's my daughter.
04:16You have a daughter.
04:20Wow.
04:23Lots changed in awe.
04:26How long has it been?
04:27Been a little over a year.
04:32Look, I'm sure you already know where this is going.
04:36So I'm just going to come out and say it.
04:41Kelsey, she is actually, um, she's our daughter.
05:07Like sand through the hourglass,
05:10so are the days of our lives.
05:24Okay.
05:25I know there was a lot of gun safety information I laid on you.
05:30Do you have any questions?
05:32No.
05:33No.
05:34You explained everything really well, actually.
05:35All right.
05:36Isn't he a great teacher?
05:37Yeah.
05:38He's pretty good.
05:39And thanks for letting me join you.
05:42I didn't want to slow you guys down,
05:44and I know you probably went over all that stuff earlier.
05:46No, trust me.
05:47I appreciate the recap.
05:49I don't want to forget any of Papa's tips.
05:52You know, Steph, I, um,
05:54I think this is really cool that you're doing this.
05:57I'm just trying to sleep better at night.
06:00And, hey, it's really cool that you're doing this, too.
06:02We're all really happy that you're joining Black Patch.
06:06I'm excited about it.
06:07I really am.
06:08I'm nervous, though.
06:10No.
06:10But the practice helps.
06:12Yeah.
06:12Well, that's how we shake those nerves.
06:14We practice.
06:16All right?
06:16That's why we're here.
06:17All right.
06:19You know, I learn better when I'm competing against someone.
06:24Papa, maybe you could keep score?
06:27What do you say, Brady?
06:29You up for that?
06:30Yeah, I'm not.
06:32Yeah, let's do this.
06:34Let's do it.
06:35All right.
06:51Oh, Ari.
06:53Hey.
06:55It's been so long since I've seen you.
06:58So the rumors are true.
07:01Ursula finally gave you your voice back.
07:02Oh, yeah.
07:05Uh, is Holly here?
07:08Nope.
07:11Do you know where she is?
07:13Why, Sophia?
07:15Were you planning to drug her again?
07:21You seriously thought she didn't tell me about that?
07:26I know that Holly has been saying all of this stuff about me, but I did not try to leave
07:33it and stay the hell away from Holly.
07:42Oh, yeah.
07:56And now I get out of here.
09:21No, go away.
09:26We're good.
09:52What do you mean, our daughter?
09:58Do you remember how before I left, I thought I was pregnant, and so I took a test?
10:02Of course, I remember, Joy, Stephanie, and I were there with you when you got the test results. You said
10:06they were negative.
10:07Yes, and about that, I lied.
10:14Clearly. Why would you do that? Why would you lie to us?
10:19Because you and Stephanie had just gotten back together. I wasn't going to be the pathetic loser standing between you
10:27and your happiness.
10:27So you just decided to just pretend that everything was okay? You take off?
10:34It wasn't an easy decision, Alex. I went back and forth a thousand times on if I should tell you.
10:41Really?
10:42Yes. Yes. Yes. And before I left, I almost fessed up. But I couldn't help but think about how relieved
10:51you were when I told you it was a false alarm.
10:53I'm pretty sure the first words out of your mouth, so yeah, I assumed you didn't want the baby, and
11:03after growing up feeling like a kid who wasn't wanted, except for her bone marrow, I wasn't going to do
11:10that to Kelsey.
11:18Okay. Joy, no offense. I haven't seen you. I haven't heard from you in over a year, and you show
11:26up at my doorstep admitting to me that you were very dishonest about something huge.
11:35I am admitting that, yes.
11:38Yes. So if you were okay with being dishonest with me then, maybe you're being dishonest with me right now.
11:51How do I know? How do I know for sure that this baby is mine?
12:12Oh, look at that.
12:15Whoa. Way to go, dude.
12:18Thanks, man.
12:20You're up, Stephanie.
12:21Come here.
13:15I had it earlier.
13:17You saw me almost hit that target, dead centered.
13:19Somehow, I'm getting worse.
13:20No, no, no.
13:21Come on.
13:21Don't beat yourself up.
13:23You just started.
13:24You're still learning.
13:25Steph, a couple more rounds.
13:27Come on.
13:27You'll get your groove back.
13:29I don't think so.
13:30I'm done.
13:31No.
13:31No.
13:32No.
13:32Don't say that.
13:34Listen.
13:35I was watching you in there, and you looked distracted.
13:39So remember what I told you?
13:41Control your breath.
13:44Concentrate.
13:45Visualize the bullet hitting the target.
13:48Then pull the trigger.
13:50Come on.
13:51Let's try again.
14:00Xander should take meetings in Chicago more often.
14:14It's the best we can do.
14:17But it's not good enough, is it?
14:21Tamera's offer would keep my costs a lot lower.
14:30Look, we'd obviously love to land this contract.
14:34But that really is the best Titan can do.
14:37Or we'd lose money on the deal.
14:39And the way things are right now, we can't afford to do that.
14:45I'm sorry, Gabby.
14:46We really wanted to partner with you on this.
14:50I really wanted to partner with you, too.
14:56Which is why I'm giving the contract to Titan.
15:05I should have known that you would take Holly's side.
15:09I mean, she loses it at a sorority party, and instead of apologizing, she starts a rumor that I drugged
15:16her.
15:17I mean, I guess I made myself the easy target, because I literally couldn't talk.
15:22You can drop the act, Sophia.
15:24You're not fooling anyone.
15:27Okay.
15:29Fine.
15:30Don't believe me.
15:31I know who my real friends are, and they aren't liars and fakes like you and Holly.
15:37And that leaves who?
15:39Tate's kid sister?
15:40No.
15:41You screwed her over, so she hates you now.
15:44Just like everyone else.
15:46Face it.
15:47You have no friends.
15:50And if you want to know why, look in the damn mirror.
15:55You think that you are so much better than me,
15:58but you and Holly and every other girl at Salem High were just one broken condom away from being in
16:05my shoes, too.
16:06Oh, my God.
16:07Would you stop?
16:08You can't blame everything on your pregnancy.
16:11You made revenge porn to stop your college professor from adopting your kid.
16:16You let my cousin think he was your baby daddy because of a stupid crush,
16:21and then you drugged my friend.
16:24You're forgetting about the part where I went to a psychiatric hospital to get help,
16:29and I've only been out for like two days,
16:31so would you guys just stop trying to send me back over the edge, you guys?
16:35There's no one else here.
16:37Did you take your meds today,
16:39or are you using them to poison another girl you're jealous of?
16:45You're such a bitch.
16:48And I can't believe I ever thought you were my friend.
17:04Check your stance.
17:07Your stance.
17:09Alright.
17:12Check your grip.
17:14Good.
17:16That's perfect.
17:18Good, baby.
17:19Now, so good.
17:23Good.
17:24Good.
17:26Good.
17:28Good.
17:35Good.
17:37Good.
17:37Good.
17:49Good.
17:52Good.
17:53Good.
17:56Good.
17:59Good.
18:00Is there a problem here?
18:03No.
18:04Yes.
18:05Look, if you're causing trouble, I'm going to have to ask you to leave.
18:11what about her i know her and i don't think she's the problem
18:18okay well then i guess i'll just go buy my books elsewhere
18:34thanks yeah just uh just do my job
18:40i was sure you'd take the better offer as i told you yesterday this isn't just about money for me
18:48for one thing i think that damara's offer is only better because they're deliberately trying to
18:54undercut titan when it's down which makes me think that they won't be good business partners
19:00and i see value in choosing titan that goes beyond that
19:06i want to work with you because i know you and i trust you
19:14you love me
19:19true but not relevant here
19:24i just don't want you to feel like
19:28because the two of us are
19:32you have to
19:33i don't
19:37i look could i save a little bit more money if i went with tamara
19:43yes but i don't know what's going on over there i mean theo just walked away for reasons unknown
19:49and now johnny's staying off
19:54you don't think he can handle it
19:58i think he's a rookie who screwed up big time and is now facing a plagiarism lawsuit
20:04and look i like johnny and i want the best for him but i want to partner with an experienced
20:12ceo
20:14someone who will have my back
20:18you're looking at him
20:22but gabby are you sure
20:26yes
20:31titan needs to steal
20:35and i need your help
20:38and
20:41also maybe i owe you
20:45well i gotta say
20:47i am really impressed with the two of you
20:51nice job out there
20:53well like steph said we have a pretty good teacher
20:57hey
20:57did your dad ever take you to the shooting range when you were growing up
21:02uh
21:04a couple times
21:05yeah
21:06but his his his idea of bonding was more throwing the ball around
21:10oh yeah
21:11hmm
21:13well papa tried to take me
21:15but i always thought that i had better things to do
21:18until now
21:21well hey you were you were really cooking
21:24at the end there
21:25well
21:26it helped to imagine owen is the target
21:32part of me wishes that i could put a bullet in him for real so i'd never have to worry
21:35about him coming back
21:38which i wouldn't
21:39obviously
21:42i just hope
21:43that i get to testify against him
21:46well apparently they're doing a psych evaluation on him right now to determine if he's fit
21:51to stand trial
21:53well if he is jada still thinks that his lawyers
21:57are gonna go with the insanity defense
21:59there's no way to defend what that creep did
22:02no
22:03that son of a bitch should have been put away for good seventeen years ago
22:08owen knew what he was doing to me then
22:10and he knew
22:11what he was doing to jeremy and me
22:15delusional or not
22:16he had a plan
22:19but this time
22:20he got caught
22:22and i'm going to make damn sure
22:24that he faces justice
22:28you don't believe me
22:29i didn't say that joy
22:33but this is
22:37it's a lot
22:40i understand
22:43but like i said back then i wasn't with anybody else
22:49still i figured that you would want to do a dna test which we can do right away
22:57but you don't have to
23:00what do you mean
23:03i just mean i'm not forcing you to do anything
23:06i mean kelsey and i are fine and you should only take the test
23:13if you want to be a part of her life
23:20of course i
23:32i missed the birth of my first child
23:36again
23:38i didn't think that
23:40why would you even come back here why would you come back here right now
23:44um
23:46well i heard
23:48through some mutual friends that you were telling people you couldn't wait to start a family
23:54so i i don't know i thought i thought maybe i was wrong
23:56maybe i misjudged the situation and
24:00you would want to get to know your daughter
24:04yeah absolutely
24:07i absolutely would if
24:09there's no if
24:11there's no if
24:13she's yours
24:20would you like to hold her
24:28yeah
24:31yeah I would
24:41Gabby no
24:43you don't owe me anything
24:45if you want to go to DiMera
24:46you know all I meant is that
24:49you've been there for me
24:52and I want to be there for you too
24:54you are
24:56I've been able to confide in you
24:58share my feelings with you
25:01but this is business
25:04that's right
25:05it is
25:07and when the merger fell apart
25:08I made a business decision
25:10and chose not to bring Gabby Sheik back to Titan
25:12why would you?
25:13you hated working for me and Xander
25:17things have changed
25:19and I wouldn't be working for you
25:21I'd be working with you
25:23and as a way to show that we've turned the page
25:28I'd want to give Titan this contract
25:30not to mention that I'm now living in the
25:33Kyriakos mansion
25:34so I have a vested interest in Titan surviving
25:40in other words
25:41you'd like to keep a roof over your head
25:45our head
25:47we're in this together
25:50I'm rooting for you
25:51and your family
25:53look I'm happy with my decision
25:54but if you're not
25:55you know we can
25:56are you kidding?
25:57I'm thrilled
25:59you have no idea how much this means to Titan
26:03and to me

26:47it can be great

35:59y'all say
36:02thank you
36:02thank you
36:41Thanks for meeting me.
36:43No problem.
36:45What's up?
36:47Question about Basic Black.
36:50The plan moving forward is to have Marlena move into a leadership position with the help of your mother.
36:59However, it hit a snag when Marlena found out that Johnny thinks that your mother set him up to hit
37:08him with a plagiarism lawsuit.
37:12I knew nothing about that.
37:15My point, Philip, is Marlena wants to work there.
37:18She just doesn't want to work with Kate because she doesn't trust her any longer.
37:22And Xander, the classy guy that he is, told Marlena that she needs to work with Kate, but she can't
37:28work there at all.
37:32And your question is, Philip, speak to Xander and get him to back off.
37:40Well, I know Holly and Ari's stupid dorm has their own social media feed.
37:46Let's see.
37:48Badger Hall 29.
37:51Here we go.
37:54Username.
37:57Lily.
37:57My parents almost named me Lily.
38:01But Lily what?
38:08Lattes.
38:09Lily loves lattes.
38:14Great.
38:16Now Lily can start posting.
38:19Okay.
38:23Okay.
38:30Hopefully they'll take the bait.
38:32Let's see.
38:57Mija.
38:59Aww.
39:00Fancy seeing you here.
39:02Hi, Mom.
39:03You getting some studying done?
39:05Trying to, but there are a lot more distractions here than you'd think.
39:09Okay, I will take the hint.
39:12No, I didn't mean you.
39:13Mm-hmm.
39:15So, are you here to shop?
39:17I am.
39:18The new Agatha Christie biography just came out, and so, you know, I wanted to...
39:26Oh, okay.
39:27I can see what the distraction is.
39:31Gage!
39:33Hey!
39:34I didn't know you worked here.
39:37I'm Ari's mom, remember?
39:39Come on over.
39:40I don't mind.
39:42What?
39:43I know that you've seen me go all mama bear, but I don't do that very often.
39:57Liam?
40:01I, um, I thought that you said your name was Gage.
40:20Liam is his first name, but he goes by his middle name.
40:23No, no, no, no, no, I know who you are.
40:25You're Liam Selleco.
40:28You got shot because you got mixed up in helping kidnap the Tamaris.
40:33What?
40:33No, no, I had nothing to do with the kidnapping.
40:35No.
40:36When I asked you at the pub the other night, if you were upset about Gage, you had no idea
40:40who I was talking about.
40:41I had to remind you that he was the boy from your dorm room.
40:47You lied to me.
40:50Non-traditional student, my ass, Liam was hiding from the police.
40:54You stay away from my daughter.
40:56Do you hear me?
40:56Mama?
40:57Look, I...
40:58Stay away.
41:02Don't worry.
41:03I...
41:04I will.
41:34Don't worry.
42:16Look, Brady, when it comes to business, my brother and I are a united front.
42:21I don't think it's a good idea.
42:22Don't give her that crap. Come on. Come on.
42:25I'm talking about my late father's company here.
42:29And Titan is my late father's company, your grandfather's company,
42:33which Xander and I are desperately trying to keep afloat.
42:36This isn't personal.
42:40Obviously, my mother is not the easiest person to work with.
42:44But she founded Basic Black with John.
42:46She knows fashion. She knows business.
42:48She's the best person.
42:50You're not going to talk to Xander, are you?
42:51I'm telling you, he's not going to budge on this.
42:57Tell Marlena to take the deal.
43:00You expect her to work with someone she doesn't trust?
43:02Philip, come on.
43:04At least that way she can retain control.
43:07Otherwise, Basic Black could be sold off.
43:10Or worse, it could fold.
43:15I'd hate to see that happen, Brady.
43:19Right now, everyone at Titan is making tough choices.
43:24I know it's not ideal,
43:25but if you want to save your dad's company,
43:29this is what you have to do.
43:46Hey, you.
43:51How was the shooting range?
43:53Oh, it was really fun, actually.
43:57And I think I'm getting hang of it.
44:03And Alex?
44:05Yeah?
44:07We jumped out of a plane today.
44:10Right.
44:12Oh, what did you forget?
44:19Well, I hope we didn't forget about our other plans.
44:27I don't know.
44:32Are you okay?
44:36Are you okay?
44:43You might want to sit down for this.
44:56Okay.
44:57Okay.
44:59What is it?
45:00What's wrong?
45:04It's just, um...
45:08It's just what?
45:12Maybe...
45:13Whatever it is, you can...
45:16You can...
45:17Just say it.
45:29I just found out, um...
45:33I think...
45:34I think I'm...
45:35Or at least I'm pretty sure.
45:40I found out that I have a daughter.
45:49I think...
45:56You were right.
45:58He even wanted to hold her.
46:01He looked so happy when he did.
46:06Told you would be.
46:08I think...
46:11I让 you...
46:17Oh, I need you...
46:22Probably...
46:22Hey, Lord
46:31What is he?
46:36I haven't seen it before.
46:37I won't feel like this.
46:37I don't know.
46:37He said it.
46:39I haven't seen it before.
46:39What is it?
46:39Did I't mean?
