00:07hey hi been looking for you too hey hi yeah i got your text we just needed to get together
00:13and
00:14uh think things through okay well what's there to think about as far as i'm concerned it's
00:20business as usual full steam ahead i have a list of some candidates to replace all of those slugs
00:27that victor bullied into quitting i have some good ones here i think that victor actually did his favor
00:35it's too late phyllis what too late for what what are you talking about you have to understand that
00:41there's a very good chance that you could lose the company or worse why because of victor's threats
00:49and his ability to carry them out oh he doesn't scare me i don't care really michael seriously
00:56and with you running my defense going head to head with victor and his little lackey christine
01:03they don't stand a chance
01:08here are some of the emails that we discovered when we took back control of chancellor
01:15well there are many more where that came from but it will give you an idea of what phyllis was
01:20up to
01:22she stole from us she cheated us and she deserves to go down in flames and i know that you're
01:28as
01:28anxious as i am to make her pay for all of the damage that she's caused
01:31so
01:36so
01:44so
02:10so
02:13sienna didn't say anything more last night just that she killed matt she kept repeating it
02:19over and over again and every time i would ask for more details she would shut down
02:25she did seem nervous about talking to the police though
02:30she said that to you
02:31i told her it had to have been in self-defense but she got really agitated so i just stayed
02:37quiet
02:39maybe it wasn't self-defense
02:41no
02:42sienna no not a chance
02:45you don't know that noah and god knows i would understand if she did do it deliberately
02:52but she's got to let it out she can't bury something like that it'll lead her alive i know
02:57that from experience
02:59maybe you should be the one to talk to her
03:02and i mean you're the professional you've been through it i'm just afraid i'm gonna do or
03:06say the wrong thing
03:08even after he's gone
03:10he still claims victims
03:13i know exactly how she's feeling to think that matt is finally out of your life and
03:19he can never hurt you again only to have him turn up and inflict even more pain
03:25i will go easy on her
03:27but i need to know that matt clark will not be turning up again that's the only way that
03:34any of us will find any real peace
03:39well it was a close call
03:42but the trip to vegas was worth it
03:44we found matt clark
03:46well it sounds a little to me like matt clark found you
03:51yeah there were some mistakes made
03:54mostly by me
03:55adam is the one who stepped up he really came through
03:59that is not accurate
04:00we both made mistakes along the way
04:03but we're here now and we're sorry for giving you so much worry on top of everything else that you're
04:08dealing with
04:09how's your health my boy
04:13well it's one of the ways i really messed up
04:16you messed up you mean by allowing matt clark to
04:20slip some tainted drugs into your drink
04:26nick didn't know what was in them
04:28but he's okay now
04:33boys what are you not telling me how can you be okay when you just get home
04:37they gave him some medication that reversed the effects of the bad
04:41fentanyl
04:42so it's out of the system now
04:44guys come on what i don't understand
04:46is how did you allow matt clark
04:49to make you take drugs
04:52you
05:02oh uh what's this that is a list of names and the resumes of people that i i chose to
05:09replace the slugs who quit so
05:12i know we want things to be business as usual
05:16but it's not and we can't afford to be in denial
05:20now tell us tell us what victor said
05:23uh wait you spoke to victor
05:28oh i tried to broker a deal
05:33why did you not inform me of that
05:36because all victor wanted to do was deliver a message to me to give to you
05:40i don't care about his messages i don't want to hear anything he has to say
05:44well you need to care phyllis
05:47why
05:50why michael because the great victor newman has spoken
05:52he's a treacherous son of a bitch
05:54two can play at that game
05:56just stop it phyllis
05:57stop it
05:59you can't beat him
06:01and you can rant and rave and complain all day about how unfair it is
06:06but the bottom line
06:08victor has all the weapons now
06:12and he has every intention of using what he has to destroy you
06:16he will get his company back
06:17and you will go to prison
06:18if you keep fighting him
06:20i'm giving you the reality of your situation
06:25hell my situation too if i think about it
06:28what does that mean
06:29victor just made it very clear that he would
06:31view my representing you as the ultimate betrayal
06:36you never told me that
06:38well he said it at a trail he needs it
06:41and how did you respond
06:43that's what this is about right
06:46you're afraid that victor will be mad at you
06:49that's why you want me to give up
06:53so you want to throw me under the bus
06:55to save face with victor right
07:00i'd like to hear the answer to that too
07:07we should establish something right up front
07:10whatever my past experiences have been with phyllis
07:14this is purely professional i'm not going to tip the scales one way or the other
07:18understood
07:19i will go where the facts and evidence lead me if in fact there is evidence
07:24well if you'll read on you'll find that there's plenty of that
07:28and you and victor discovered this by doing a forensic sweep of chancellor's operating systems
07:33we were looking for anything that would shine a light on how phyllis and kane took control of newman enterprises
07:39never in our wildest imagination did we think that we would come across correspondence that detailed how they did it
07:46it's all in you
07:47yes names dates places
07:51you'll see there's a clear line of criminal intent
07:53and i mean but phyllis was the driver behind all of it
07:57she's the one who hacked into our systems and planted the ai virus that transferred everything that we owned into
08:03her name
08:03you mentioned kane so we're going to need to look into his involvement as well
08:09is it just the two of them in this iceberg or are there other people involved
08:16guys what are you not telling me
08:21nicholas
08:23what are you not telling me what's going on
08:28i took fentanyl
08:31willingly
08:34you did what
08:36yeah i did
08:41some of it was because of matt
08:45but most of it was on me
08:54oh my
08:58what do you mean it was on you
09:03i was in a lot of pain dad after my accident
09:09i was burned through my
09:11prescription meds
09:13really quickly after i left the hospital
09:16and i could uh
09:19see that it was becoming a problem but honestly i thought that i could manage it i was
09:26i was wrong i couldn't
09:30did a doctor prescribe this damn fentanyl to you or what
09:35no
09:38i was out in la and uh matt had
09:41taken noah and sienna and he gave me this bag of pills and said i could use it to trade
09:47for information when i went out to that drug warehouse he was trying to convince me and sharon that noah
09:52was a drug addict
09:56is that how it started i just put the pills in my pocket my jacket and i came back to
10:04genoa city and i was in a lot of pain dad and i was wearing that jacket and i just
10:13i put my hands in the pocket and the pills were there
10:21i see
10:23i was desperate
10:25i couldn't get any more prescription meds so
10:31i took the fentanyl
10:41you could have died my boy
10:47i know
10:50and i'm deeply ashamed
10:53that i was so weak
10:56but all i can do is stand here and tell you the truth that i'm gonna make this right
11:02and i'll get better
11:05nick is already on his way to doing that
11:07sharon has set up an appointment with an outpatient facility
11:12he's gonna do the meetings
11:13and he's gonna push through this
11:16better than ever
11:18you should also know that the only reason i'm standing here is because of adam
11:24it's true
11:26you're gonna ruin my reputation man

11:31you risked your life to save me and that's not something i will ever forget

13:01they were just
13:05it's like they were on fire
13:08you know he he's
13:11it was like he was excited
13:12like he was happy
13:15it was like he had waited this his entire life for this exact moment
13:18and he
13:20he had you both and he had adam and he had nick and then he was you guys were trapped
13:24in that building and he was gonna blow you up
13:27did you try to talk him out of it
13:30i told him i told him he didn't have to do this
13:36i told him
13:39that he could
13:40he could disappear he could start over again like
13:44like he had before and i even tried to convince him that i'd go with him
13:48you did
13:48i did i did i was desperate and it didn't matter though because it didn't work he just he got
13:53angrier and he got angrier and crazier and then he just
13:57i didn't know what to do so i just
14:00i
14:00i don't know
14:06by the way has there been any confirmation that matt clark is dead
14:10uh no sienna couldn't even tell us anything more she collapsed before she could answer any questions
14:15well where's sienna now
14:17uh we took her to a las vegas hospital
14:20noah stayed with her
14:21last time i talked to him he said they were heading home soon he's probably home by now
14:26huh
14:27we haven't involved the police
14:29yet for obvious reasons but i have been in touch with your team in vegas
14:33bringing them up to speed that way in case the cops do get involved they won't ask any questions that
14:37lead back to the family
14:39good work
14:41yeah i'm gonna uh head down talk to sharon see if uh sienna remembers anything else
14:46you'll be okay
14:48yeah
14:49definitely
14:51i'm gonna beat this dad
14:54it's my number one priority
14:56okay my boy
14:57i won't ask you again okay
15:00thank you
15:02uh before we go though could you fill us in on what's going on with the company and fill us
15:06oh
15:08well i'm happy to say that on that front i have some some good news you know
15:15i didn't tell victor i wouldn't represent phyllis
15:18i bet you didn't tell him you would either did you
15:21is that right michael
15:23well
15:24i uh i'm still contemplating
15:27okay michael michael this is very simple
15:29you're either in my camp or you're in victor's camp
15:33well there's nothing simple about this case
15:36that's why i'm considering all my options
15:39i want to do the right thing for all the parties involved
15:42okay well the right thing for me is to stay out of prison
15:44the right thing for me and lauren is to keep a company we've been working so hard to build
15:49i'm aware of all of that
15:50okay michael
15:52none of the other parties matter right now
15:54can i count on you or not
15:59it would mean a lot to me if you would take phyllis's case
16:03well as i've just said
16:06i am still contemplating that
16:09no
16:11that is not good enough
16:14i'm with phyllis on this
16:15because the only reason that you wouldn't represent her
16:19is if victor had gotten to you
16:23has he?
16:24because i really
16:26really thought we were past all of that
16:33feel free to dig further
16:36but the fact is the emails do exist
16:39and they prove criminal intent
16:40and phyllis's name is all over it
16:42case closed as far as i'm concerned
16:45i i won't deny these emails are damning
16:49and it doesn't look like it's just phyllis and kane caught up in this
16:52the emails also implicate billy
16:55i'm aware of that
16:56i know i could tell by the look on your face when i asked if anyone else could be involved
17:02but you know there is actually no direct correspondence to or from billy
17:07he's only mentioned as having played a role
17:09but if this goes to trial billy's role whatever it was will be revealed
17:15it will be looked at under a microscope
17:17and if it turns into a crime
17:19he will go down with phyllis and kane
17:23okay now it's not the da talking
17:26it's me
17:28i know i know the newmans lost a lot of money in this takeover
17:31but victoria this would become personal so you really have to think about it
17:37do you really want the father of your children caught up in this mess?
17:48we don't have to do this now if you don't want to
17:51no no no i do i do want to it's just
17:58everything's such a blur
17:59well let's just take it back a little bit
18:04how did you even know where matt was? how did you find him?
18:07i didn't i didn't know i just i was going to the location that risa gave me and i
18:14just saw him
18:15i was stopped on the side of the road
18:18so i confronted him i knew he was up to something
18:21did he attack you or try to hurt you?
18:25not at first
18:27he was actually pretty calm
18:30it's like
18:31it's like he wanted me to know what he was gonna do
18:34like
18:35he was proud of it
18:38you said that you tried to dissuade him?
18:41yeah and i thought that i was i was actually getting somewhere
18:44you know but
18:47i cannot mind game maddie
18:48he is always gonna win
18:51so
18:53you got angry?
18:57i must have
18:59oh god
19:01and what happened then?
19:02i don't know
19:03i don't i don't know
19:04because i don't i don't remember
19:07i
19:08i remember we were outside of the car
19:15and matt was lying on the ground and he wasn't he wasn't moving and
19:21i must
19:24i must have done it
19:25because there was nobody else around
19:27but i don't remember
19:28i don't remember doing it
19:31did you check for a pulse?
19:34make sure that he was dead?
19:36he was he was dead
19:38okay but you said you don't remember and
19:41he hasn't turned up dead
19:44well you think that i would make something like this, huh?
19:48he is dead
19:50matt is dead
19:55so you found emails confirming that phyllis and kane and billy
20:01colluded to try and steal the company
20:03exactly
20:04the paper trade a mile long
20:06and you confronted phyllis with this?
20:09and she of course you know
20:11determined to find it in court
20:13good luck to her
20:15so what's the next step?
20:17the next step is that victoria is delivering the evidence to the new d.a. in town
20:23as we speak and the new d.a. is christine romilotti
20:27christine is the new d.a. since when?
20:29as of today
20:30what happened to her predecessor?
20:33i have no clue
20:34apparently she retired due to illness
20:36and you wouldn't have anything to do with suggesting christine as her replacement
20:40i wish i could take credit for that but i had nothing to do with it
20:44lucky circumstance worked out well for us
20:46yeah i mean it is amazing that those emails turned up i mean it's very lucky
20:53indeed
20:55i don't know i guess i just find it hard to believe that phyllis and kane and even dumb as
21:01a box of rocks billy would leave a paper trail like that dad
21:06are you a hundred percent sure that evidence is legit?
21:10why would i claim it otherwise?
21:15for my children's sake of course i don't want billy drawn into this
21:18you know i hate that he has any involvement to begin with but you know he made the decision to
21:26cheat my mother and my father
21:28his children's grandmother and grandfather so
21:32the chips will fall where they may
21:35it might not be that simple for you is all i'm saying
21:38i appreciate your concern i really do but
21:41family family ties didn't mean anything to billy
21:44they didn't mean anything to phyllis i mean
21:47she was willing to try to steal from her own daughter's family
21:52summer has disowned phyllis you know that right?
21:55daniel told me
21:56yeah
21:56and daniel doesn't want anything to do with her either
22:00so what does that tell you?
22:01Victoria i'm just trying to point out this could get so much bigger and uglier if you fight back
22:09knowing you as long as i have i have to believe that your children mean far more to you than
22:14any company
22:15even one as grand as newman enterprises
22:19i am doing this for my children
22:22this is just as much about their future as it is about mine
22:27billy he played a part in the theft and the destruction of the company that my family spent their entire
22:33lives building
22:36well he can take his punishment along with the rest of them
22:41this case has nothing to do with my relationship with victor
22:46of course it does he's the one making all of this happen
22:51yes but unlike the two of you i can't afford to get caught up in all the emotion of it
22:56because one of us has to deal with the facts
22:58there are no facts victor is lying
23:00and you can prove that in court
23:02michael i was sort of hoping you could
23:05well judges and juries can be convinced that the evidence is authentic
23:11how? the emails themselves
23:12they're fake
23:13you have to prove it
23:14there will also be the testimony of the former department heads
23:19right who victor has paid off to lie for him so
23:22right right i've seen you pull this kind of testimony and evidence apart
23:26you've turned it into grumblings of disgruntled employees
23:32and christine
23:34who happens to be a brilliant attorney
23:37will sell it as gospel
23:39look the actual facts of the case don't even matter anymore
23:43it's the perception that counts
23:45and right now that perception is working against you
23:49okay michael
23:50what do you suggest i do?
23:52if you insist on fighting it and taking it to trial
23:58it would be borderline malpractice for me not to advise you to accept a plea deal
24:05uh there's no way in hell i'm doing it
24:06oh gosh what a surprise
24:08well the other option would be not to get charged in the first place
24:14and that offer might still be on the table but you will have to give victor what he wants
24:19i knew he'd do this to me
24:21but whether you like it or not it's still your best option
24:24you presented this lame strategy to me before
24:29and i told you very directly what to do with it
24:33but apparently you went behind my back and tried to make a deal with victor
24:39no i'm not doing that
24:41and you ignore me once again
24:45okay
24:45and here we are phyllis
24:47you pretending to be queen of the world while everything crumbles around you
24:50no no no no i know how her mind works
24:53if i represent her and she loses
24:56she'll accuse me of throwing the case to appease victor
24:59and that is a scenario i i dearly would like to avoid
25:03okay i can help you with that
25:06don't lose
25:17i agree with nick
25:18it seems strange that phyllis would leave a trail of email messages
25:23that could send her to prison
25:24she's too savvy
25:25okay she knows nothing's going to disappear on the internet dad
25:29she's not that reckless
25:29you know she is reckless
25:31she was born reckless
25:32okay so how exactly did this best tech team in the world pull up these emails
25:39are we sure they're legitimate
25:40who cares if it's legitimate or not
25:42we all know she stole my company from me
25:45i'm trying to get her back
25:48she wants to fight me in court
25:50she's gonna lose in court
25:51she has no chance
25:54i'm just trying to protect you phyllis
25:56but if you won't let me do that by taking my advice
26:01then at least i can try to protect our friendship
26:04it sounds like you're protecting your friendship with victor
26:07i'm just trying to prove a point you can't beat him
26:10well maybe what you're trying to tell me michael is you can't beat him
26:15you're not the only game in town
26:17i feared this might happen so i've
26:19put together a list of some crackerjack attorneys
26:24in the country and um
26:26i think they jump at the chance to be head of
26:29the legal department at summer's conglomerate
26:31let me see that
26:33oh no that's not for you
26:40why are you laughing
26:41well your first candidate was disbarred last month
26:44and your second choice was indicted for bribery
26:50oh but i have to admit i do like your third pick
26:53i've seen her in court
26:54she's killer
26:55okay good i'll hire her then
26:57please give her back to me
26:59well the only uh problem with that is
27:03victor hired her last week to head legal at chancellor
27:07and i can guarantee you that every other viable name on that list has already been gotten to by victor
27:16i can't catch a break can i
27:19i mean the hits just keep on coming good god
27:24no one has my back
27:26no one
27:28except you
27:29you're the only person who has not abandoned me lauren
27:32no wait hold on i have not abandoned you
27:36i'm just trying to make you see what you're up against
27:40what i'm up against oh
27:41because poor victor is a victim
27:45he's never been a victim
27:47ever
27:47although

29:42better
29:42you know maybe a little shaky
29:47well
29:48that sounds pretty normal
29:52yeah that's my target you know normal
29:57i still cannot believe that i got so out of control
30:00those drugs
30:02i mean i've never wanted anything in my life that bad not ever
30:08scary
30:11gives me a real understanding of what my mom's gone through
30:14nicholas
30:16this wasn't your fault
30:18this happens to good people every single day
30:22your family understands that
30:24i understand that
30:26nobody is judging you
30:29well you'd be wrong about that
30:31then you need to forgive yourself
30:33i'm trying
30:35i really am
30:38but i put so many people that i love in danger
30:43having a hard time coming to terms with that
30:47by the way what did you know
30:49about nick
30:50yeah
30:52i mean he'd been acting strange even before vegas
30:55his mood swings his recklessness
30:58i mean looking back it's probably one of the reasons that i agreed to take the trip with him
31:01because i knew something was off
31:04well
31:06if there's one silver lining in this it's that
31:09the two brothers are getting closer
31:13well we still piss each other off but yeah
31:15he's my brother
31:17it's feeling more and more normal for me to say that
31:20and i'm very happy to hear that son
31:25i delivered the evidence to christine
31:29so
31:30now we wait and see if she'll run with it
31:35yep
31:36yep
31:43hang on phyllis
31:44you know michael we've known each other a long time longer than i can remember actually
31:50and our friendship has been through a lot
31:54even when you decided to defend sharon against my son's wishes
32:00do i still need to remind you that sharon was innocent
32:07so am i
32:09phyllis
32:10please
32:12you and kane did unleash that ai program
32:15you did steal victor's company
32:18and then
32:20you double crossed kane to take possession of it yourself
32:25now there are a lot of words to describe that but innocent
32:28isn't one of them
32:28you know victor and kane did the same thing
32:31but in their case you would just call it
32:34hardball and buy him a drink right
32:36not true
32:37okay you know
32:38of course of course it's not true because
32:40it goes against the narrative of me being the bad guy right
32:44no i don't believe that either
32:47i just don't think you're gonna win this and i don't want to see you go to prison for it
32:51well whether i win or lose it's not of your concern anymore
32:54and i want you to know the worst lawyer on this list is better than you
33:07i don't know what else to say to her
33:10well then
33:12better start thinking about what you're going to say to me
33:24christine will do the right thing
33:26i don't know dad
33:27she didn't seem one hundred percent convinced
33:30she followed the evidence
33:33evidence is on our side
33:34it would be nice to get a win for a change
33:37family's been getting hit from all sides for far too long
33:40did you speak to michael
33:43yeah i gave him a warning
33:45is he still planning to defend phyllis
33:48he won't if he knows what's good for him
33:52this case is a lost cause can you not see that
33:55that's not the point
33:56of course it's the point it's the only point
33:59come on michael
34:00i have watched you defend more hopeless causes than i can even count
34:05don't you dare try and use that as an excuse not to help phyllis
34:09this is all about you staying on the right side of victor
34:13you just can't let him go
34:38why can't i catch a break
34:41why is everybody out to get me
34:46so what did cna remember about that night
34:50not a whole lot
34:51but she did become very agitated
34:53when i suggested that matt clark might not be dead
