00:13Oh, Nicholas.
00:15Oh, I'm so happy to have you back in one piece.
00:18I don't think I slept through the night the whole time you were gone.
00:21It's great to see you too.
00:23Although I wish we were doing this at the ranch, if not here.
00:26Well, I thought we could have lunch.
00:29Are you hungry?
00:31Don't try and change the subject.
00:37I'm sure you can imagine my surprise.
00:39I show up to the ranch to see you and Dad, and Dad tells me you moved out.
00:45What else did he say?
00:47Not much.
00:48I just know that before I took off for Vegas, you know, you were pretty upset with him.
00:54I'm assuming that might have something to do with this.
00:58Look, I don't want to ruin this homecoming by getting into specifics, but I will tell
01:04you that your father and I had the worst fight we have ever had, and I don't know if there's
01:10any coming back from it.
01:11Mom, come on.
01:13You and Dad have been in a million fights.
01:15You always work it out.
01:17This time feels different.
01:21Okay, well, then I'm going to talk to Dad.
01:23Make sure you two sit down and make this right.
01:26Honey, it won't do any good.
01:28Making things right between your father and me is not your job.
01:31You have enough on your plate as it is.
01:34Yeah, you don't know the half of it.
01:37Were you and Adam able to find Matt Clark and end this nightmare?
01:42Matt is supposedly dead.
01:45Dead is good.
01:46How did he die?
01:49Sienna claims to have killed him.
01:52Thank you, Sienna.
01:54Wait a minute.
01:55What do you mean she claims to?
01:56Did she or didn't she?
01:58I don't know, Mom.
01:59I don't know.
01:59Something happened with Sienna and Matt.
02:02It's really shaken Sienna, but we can't get any details out of her.
02:05So right now, I don't know who or what to believe.
02:11I am sorry that I've been off like that.
02:14No, stop apologizing.
02:16Hey, you've been through hell.
02:17But don't blame you for not wanting to talk about that monster.
02:19But I know that your mom and dad want assurance that Matt is really dead.
02:24Right now, the number one priority is to make sure that you're okay.
02:28All right?
02:29Walking out.
02:31Talking to two.
02:35Thank you for coming after me.
02:37Putting your arms around me and just holding me.
02:42It's just what I needed.
02:46You always have a way of making me feel safe.
02:51I think that is why I was able to finally be honest about what happened.
02:59I just hate that you had to go through all of that.
03:03I just wish I had been there for you.
03:06I am so glad that you weren't.
03:13Oh, hey, no, no, no.
03:14You don't have to leave.
03:16Oh, well, um, I don't want to interrupt.
03:19You're not.
03:20And, um, Sharon, I am so sorry that I flipped out before.
03:26I shouldn't have pushed.
03:28You had what I'm sure was a very intense encounter with Matt.
03:32It's the most scared I've ever been in my life.
03:35I think it's time to tell Mom what you told me about exactly what happened to Matt.
03:41I think it's time to take care.
03:52I'm so glad I'm likeoko.
03:55I'm so glad.
03:59You were beholden.
04:02So good.
04:54You know what?
04:55I knew I should have given security a list of who they shouldn't let up.
05:00To what do I owe this visit?
05:03I believe you know.
05:05Well, it's one of two things.
05:06Either you feel like you need a police officer to protect yourself against me,
05:12or Victor has made good on his threats.
05:16I've reviewed the evidence.
05:18What evidence? It's fate.
05:19Well, that remains to be seen.
05:22Christine, I felt like we had gotten past this.
05:25I mean, I gave a heartfelt speech at your nuptials with Danny.
05:30You know, I thought we could bury the hatchet.
05:34I was genuine.
05:35I rose above.
05:37And we both appreciated that very much.
05:39Yeah, the hell you did.
05:40Because despite my best efforts to be civil, you're still here, trying to intimidate me with this bogus evidence Victor
05:50has given you.
05:50This isn't personal, Phyllis.
05:52The hell it isn't!
05:54But you took five minutes in your new position to use it as a power move to intimidate me is
06:01probably the sole reason you took this position as DA.
06:05I'm not here to intimidate you.
06:07I'm here to arrest you.
06:11You have the right to remain silent.
06:13Oh, seriously?
06:13Seriously?
06:14Can and will be used against you in a court of law.
06:16You have the right to an attorney.
06:18If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you.
06:20Do you understand the rights I've just read to you?
06:29Um, if you think you're gonna cuff me and lead me out of here on a perp walk, you better
06:35have backup.
06:36God, I'm hoping it won't be necessary.
06:37I'm hoping Ms. Summers will come along with us quietly, or at least come along.
06:41So is this your first case as DA, Cricket?
06:44Mm-hmm.
06:44Is it?
06:45This is a big mistake.
06:46Because when I prove that all of Victor's fake evidence to get his company back has been fabricated and made
06:55up,
06:56this is gonna turn your glee into humiliation.
07:00I don't get pleasure in this.
07:03I know arresting you will hurt Daniel and, in turn, my husband.
07:07I also know that a lot of people, including you, are going to assume that I'm doing this
07:12because we've been pretty public with our mutual dislike.
07:15I don't assume.
07:16I know.
07:16Well, you'd be wrong.
07:18Because I thought long and hard about my decision to take this action.
07:22Oh, really?
07:23You've been a DA for, what, what, what, five minutes?
07:26I guess thinking long and hard is what it is for your tiny brain.
07:31I put my personal feelings aside, but in the end, I couldn't ignore the facts.
07:36By stealing Newman Enterprises out from under Victor and his family, you have committed a crime.
07:42And for that, you must be held accountable.
07:49I can certainly understand you not trusting that Matt is dead.
07:53I mean, you watched him die with your own eyes years ago, and even that was a lie.
07:59Which is why, until I hear exactly how Sienna ended his life or a body is found,
08:04I'm gonna be sleeping with one eye open.
08:06Well, at least he'll be sleeping in Genoa City.
08:09I hated that you went to Las Vegas to find him.
08:12Every time my phone rang, I was filled with dread.
08:16And even before you left, there was something about the way you were acting
08:21that just seemed darker this time around.
08:28Well, there's a reason for that, and, um,
08:32it wasn't just Matt Clark.
08:34What do you mean?
08:37Nicholas, what is it?
08:44There's something I gotta tell you.
08:47And, uh,
08:49I've been dreading doing it because
08:54I hate disappointing you.
08:56But honestly,
08:57I'm gonna need your support more than anyone's going forward.
09:01Support for what?
09:04I need you to promise me that you're not gonna get too upset.
09:08Darling, please.
09:09Just tell me whatever it is.
09:11I can handle it.
09:16Okay, um,
09:19it started after my accident.
09:21My leg.
09:23It was just unbearable.
09:25I've never experienced anything like that.
09:28I can only imagine.
09:31And I was going through my prescription meds pretty quickly.
09:35And then the doc wouldn't give me any more refills.
09:40And I wasn't sure how I was supposed to function, Mom.
09:42So, I, um...
09:51I started messing with opioids.
09:54Oh, Nicholas.
09:57Yeah, I was pretty much hooked on them the whole time I was in Vegas with Adam.
10:02Okay.
10:03Um,
10:04How hooked are we talking here?
10:08Enough for Adam to pick up on it.
10:11And Matt.
10:13I mean, he took advantage of my addiction.
10:15He, uh, he fed me some bad fentanyl.
10:17Oh, my God.
10:19Oh, my God, honey.
10:20You could have died.
10:21I know.
10:22And I almost did.
10:23I, I ended up in the hospital.
10:25Why didn't anybody call me?
10:27I would have flown out to be with you.
10:29I know.
10:29I know.
10:30I just, I didn't want you to see me like that.
10:34Honey, I love you so much.
10:36To think of you suffering like that.
10:40Hey, hey.
10:40And almost dying.
10:43I know.
10:44Look at me.
10:45I'm okay.
10:47I'm a lot better.
10:49And Sharon, she, she hooked me up with a treatment center.
10:52They're going to give me all the tools I need to make sure this doesn't happen again.
10:57You know, your father and I both thought something was off.
11:04God, how did I not see the signs?
11:06I mean, after everything I've been through with my addiction.
11:11Sorry, honey.
11:12Maybe because you never expected something like this to happen.
11:16I wanted to believe it could happen to your own son.
11:21Sienna started remembering more about what happened.
11:25Well, sometimes after a traumatic incident, it can take a while before all the pieces fall together.
11:35Once I realized that, um, Matt wasn't buying my appeal, that he had already set the explosion in motion, I
11:45knew that all bets were off.
11:47He told me we needed to leave the area.
11:50And he told me that Noah.
11:57He told me that you were already dead and that I missed my chance to save you.
12:03Was it true?
12:04It felt like it was.
12:05They didn't know.
12:06Matt gets such delight out of tormenting people.
12:11I was so angry.
12:14A part of me just wanted to stay with him so I could hurt him the way that he hurt
12:18Noah and all of you.
12:20And then there was this other part of me that...
12:23The part of me that was terrified of him and that just took over.
12:28And I just wanted to get away.
12:31I jumped out of the car.
12:35And I was just hoping he'd drive off.
12:37I was hoping he'd leave me there.
12:39And then I...
12:42Then I heard his footsteps.
12:45And his panting breath.
12:48And he was coming after me.
12:52And we were in the middle of nowhere.
12:54I didn't know.
12:55I didn't know where we were.
12:56I didn't know if I was going to make it out alive.
12:58It's okay.
12:59It's okay.
12:59You're safe now.
13:01He can't hurt you anymore.
13:02Okay.
13:04Not me or anyone else again.
13:07You sound pretty sure about that.
13:10Oh, I am.
13:12Because when he came after me.
13:14And he chased me down in the desert and he caught up to me.
13:18I fought him with everything I had.
13:22And that's when I killed him.
13:45I really thought I had it under control.
13:49I could stop taking pills, you know, because it was temporary.
13:52Once the pain went away, I was wrong.
13:55And killers are what started my addiction.
13:58The thought of stopping was not an option.
14:02And all I cared about was getting more.
14:07I've never really understood that until now.
14:11I never wanted you to understand it.
14:15I know.
14:17But I do want you to make me a promise.
14:23From this point on, you need to be completely honest with me.
14:27That is the only way I can truly be there for you.
14:33I promise.
14:36I also want you to know that you will have slip-ups.
14:41And I won't judge you for that.
14:43And I don't want you judging yourself.
14:46And these stumbles are easier to face when you meet them halfway.
14:53Hiding your actions just leads to more shame.
14:58And that leads to more using.
15:01It's a vicious cycle.
15:05I'm going to beat this.
15:07I will do whatever it takes.
15:09We will.
15:11We can do anything once you put our minds to it.
15:16Dad, I hate putting this on you right now with everything that's going on with Dad.
15:20Darling, you're not putting anything on me.
15:22I always want you to come to me.
15:30Let me ask you a question.
15:32Is Jack the reason that you left?
15:35Is that what your father told you?
15:38No.
15:41But, you know, before I went to Vegas, I learned that Dad had kidnapped Jack, which, of course, was crazy.
15:47It was a last-ditch effort to try and save the company.
15:50And then Vic filled me in on what happened on the yacht with Jack.
15:53And now Patty Worms is back.
15:56Yeah, she says she's been rehabilitated.
15:58And I'll believe it that for a second.
16:01Your father has gone to extremes with Jack before, but this, this was different.
16:09Desperate.
16:09Which is not like Victor.
16:13It's like something snapped in his head that told him it's perfectly fine to do whatever he feels he needs
16:22to do to get what he wants, no matter who gets hurt.
16:26Look, I hate it that Patty is back, too.
16:29But do you think this is the best answer, cutting Dad off completely?
16:33Don't tell me you're excusing what he did.
16:35No, of course not.
16:36I'm just trying to understand why Dad would go to such extremes.
16:40We already know his hatred of Jack.
16:44I think it's about Newman Enterprises, the fact that he lost everything that he built in an instant.
16:49That doesn't give him the right to put lives in danger.
16:53Of course not.
16:53But just, can you imagine how desperate Dad must have felt to do these things?
16:59I mean, that company isn't just a way for him to make a living, Mom.
17:03It is tied up to his whole self-worth because of what it means to him.
17:07He built an empire for this family.
17:12Built it for you, Mom.
17:15And at this stage of his life, if you can understand where he's coming from, then maybe you could find
17:20it, you know, easier to forgive him.
17:25Honey, I know how much you love and admire your father.
17:30I love him too.
17:33But I am not ready to forgive him for what he did.
17:38I don't know if I ever will be.
17:42You said that you and Matt fought when he caught up to you?
17:49Yeah, it didn't last long.
17:52He threw me to the ground.
17:53He pinned me down.
17:55He was choking me.
17:56I tried, um, to...
17:59to grab something, anything to use against him.
18:03A fistful of dirt, anything, just to try and stop him.
18:08Then I felt a rock.
18:10And I picked it up.
18:12With as much force as I could.
18:14And I brought it up.
18:15And I hit him in the head.
18:17And then he went down.
18:20And I just stared at him.
18:23This man that I used to love and that now I hated more than anything.
18:30And then I saw him move.
18:32And so I hit him again, even harder.
18:35I didn't even think twice.
18:39And he was down.
18:41And I went to run.
18:43And then I realized I needed to make sure.
18:45I needed to make sure that he was really dead.
18:48And so I went back and I checked for a pulse.
18:52And I didn't feel one.
18:54And then I realized
18:57what I'd really done.
19:03I killed him.
19:07And then I just got up and I ran and I ran
19:10right back to my car.
19:15So now we know.
19:18Matt Clark is finally gone.
19:21For good this time.
19:28You know, Christine, I think you're a smart woman,
19:31despite all the bad blood between us over the years.
19:33I will never deny that.
19:35Oh, well, my tiny brain thanks you.
19:37If you want to avoid the cuffs, get going.
19:38Okay, and because I think you're a smart woman,
19:40I can't fathom why you would subject yourself
19:43to such public humiliation
19:45when I prove those emails are fake.
19:49Okay, well,
19:51if you prove that,
19:52which I don't believe you can,
19:54why don't you first explain to me
19:56how you think you were able to...
19:57You know what?
19:58You know what?
19:58Listen, I did what I always do.
20:01I saw an opportunity and I took it.
20:04And it paid off.
20:05Well, obviously not,
20:06or we wouldn't be here.
20:09Phyllis, if you want to admit guilt,
20:10we can talk about a plea deal.
20:12I'll see you in hell first.
20:13Okay, suit yourself.
20:14But before you get to hell,
20:16I'll see you in court.
20:17Take her away.
20:18I...
20:19You know what?
20:20I will...
20:21I will fight you and Victor
20:24every step of the way.
20:31The world...
20:32They're making this much harder.
20:33I could say the same for you, Cricket.
20:36Whoa!
20:37What's going on?
20:38What's going on?
20:38Victor is exacting his revenge.
20:40She's carrying out his mission.
20:41We have evidence that Phyllis committed a crime.
20:43I have no choice but to arrest her.
20:45The evidence has been fabricated.
20:47It's not real.
20:48You can't do this.
20:49Actually, I can.
20:51You know me.
20:53You know I wouldn't defend Phyllis
20:55if I didn't know for a fact
20:56that those emails were fake.
20:58Come on.
20:59Victor is using you to do his dirty work.
21:01I know you started to work with her
21:03after the alleged theft.
21:05Okay?
21:05I don't want to hurt you.
21:07But I can't ignore the facts.
21:09And I'm not going to try this
21:11here in this office.
21:12Let's go.
21:12Okay, I'll call Michael.
21:14Don't bother.
21:15I know where he stands.
21:16It's not with me.
21:20Well, she's getting what she deserves.
21:25Yep.
21:29Any update on Matt Clark?
21:32Not since we last spoke.
21:34I went and saw Mom.
21:37I know?
21:38Yeah.
21:39Dad, you two need to sit down and talk.
21:42No, son.
21:43I don't want to discuss this.
21:45Dad, this is your marriage we're talking about.
21:48You're not going to convince me
21:49that it doesn't matter to you
21:50because I know better than that.
21:52I don't even want to get into the right or wrong
21:54with Jack or Patty
21:55because then we're going to be in a fight
21:56and I don't care about that right now.
21:58It's just you and Mom.
21:59Now, you two have been in the biggest fights
22:01I've ever seen.
22:02But you always work it out
22:03because you love each other.
22:05You just need to admit to what you did
22:07and help her understand why you did it.
22:10Son, I do not want to discuss
22:12what happened between your mother and me, all right?
22:14Unless you have some news about Matt Clark,
22:16let's end this conversation.
22:21Sienna, I know that it is upsetting reliving this,
22:27but I do still have a few more questions.
22:30Mom.
22:31It's okay.
22:33Do you remember how long it was
22:35between the second blow
22:37and when you went back to check his pulse?
22:41I don't.
22:42Why?
22:44Well, because sometimes
22:46just the shock of being knocked out
22:48can cause the heart to stop
22:51or to just become faint enough
22:53that there's no detectable pulse.
22:55Sometimes.
22:56But not this time.
22:58Sienna just told you that he didn't have a pulse.
23:00Why can't you just accept that?
23:02Because we have to be absolutely sure this is Matt.
23:07Your mom's right.
23:09Go ahead.
23:10You can ask me whatever you want.
23:13All we really need to know right now
23:16is where you left Matt.
23:18Once we can give a location
23:19to Victor's security team,
23:21they will go out there
23:22and verify that he is, in fact, deceased.
23:26I want to tell you,
23:28I'm just not sure if I can.
23:39Refill?
23:42Whoa, whoa, whoa.
23:43Yeah.
23:47Dixon?
23:50Looks like you lost something.
23:52Happens to me all the time.
23:54Of course, usually it's my keys
23:57always getting buried in my purse,
23:59left in a pocket.
24:01Why is it that keys are always
24:02the hardest things to find?
24:05Are you okay?
24:13How far away am I from this place?
24:25Hey.
24:26How you doing?
24:28Well, I wasn't the one that got arrested.
24:31That's an unfortunate development.
24:33Yeah.
24:33The whole way over here,
24:34I was like, this can't be happening.
24:36I can't just have seen Phyllis
24:38get escorted off to jail
24:40by Christine, of all people.
24:42Well, all of this could have been avoided
24:44if Phyllis had followed my advice
24:46and given Victor back what he wanted.
24:48Oh.
24:49We're going straight to that?
24:50We're going straight to the I told you so's?
24:52Then what do you want me to say?
24:53I want you to say that Phyllis
24:54is one of our best friends.
24:56And even though we have seen her
24:58do some questionable things in the past,
25:01deep down, she has a good soul
25:04and a good heart.
25:05And that you have no animosity toward her
25:08because she dared to unseat
25:10the great Victor Newman.
25:12That you won't do
25:13what you know is the right thing.
25:17First of all, I do not have any animosity
25:20towards Phyllis for what she did.
25:22If that were the case,
25:23I wouldn't have shown up here
25:24to talk about this with you.
25:26Especially because I know
25:27all you want me to do
25:28is represent her.
25:30Yes, she is in trouble, Michael.
25:33I know.
25:35But if I were even to contemplate
25:37what you want me to do,
25:38I'd be in trouble too.
25:38We both know Victor is not very kind
25:40to those who cross him.
25:42Do you know how many times
25:44that you told me that guilt or innocence
25:47doesn't even enter into your decision
25:49to take a case?
25:51And if you're not going to do it for Phyllis,
25:53do it for me.
25:55Live up to that creed
25:57and let's get her out of this mess.
26:03My memory is still,
26:04it's kind of fuzzy.
26:06Well, that's to be expected,
26:07given all you've been through.
26:10Do you remember if Matt's car
26:12was left alongside the road?
26:15I assume he left it there
26:17when he ran after me.
26:18And if the police were to find Matt's vehicle,
26:22how far beyond the car
26:24would they have to look to find him?
26:26I don't know.
26:28I think I ran pretty far into the desert
26:31when he was chasing me.
26:34I'm sorry, okay?
26:35I'm sorry.
26:36I was scared, okay?
26:37And all I thought about
26:38was getting away from him.
26:39You have nothing to be sorry for.
26:41I'm sorry.
26:42I'm pushing you
26:43and I shouldn't.
26:44Wait, wait.
26:45I do remember something.
26:46There was like,
26:48there was like a structure
26:50that was kind of,
26:51looked like a water park.
26:54I don't know,
26:54with these blue slides
26:56and yellow tubes on the outside.
26:58Well, that's,
26:58that's something, right?
27:00Um, yeah.
27:01It should definitely help.
27:03Yeah.
27:03I'll let the team know
27:04to start looking up parks in the area
27:06so they can do a sweep.
27:07They should be able to find
27:07Matt's body that way.
27:09Assuming that no one's
27:10come across it already.
27:12But what if it isn't there?
27:14What if they don't find it?
27:16What do you mean?
27:19Look, I, I know that
27:20I said I was sure, but
27:25what if I wanted him
27:26to be dead so badly
27:27that I convinced myself
27:28that he was?
27:32Is it possible
27:33that he's still alive?
27:36Genoa City, Wisconsin?
27:40Well, why are you so surprised?
27:43Because we're about
27:442,000 miles from there.
27:45So, where am I?
27:48Don't you tell me
27:49that bastard is alive.
27:52We don't know, Dad.
27:53We don't know
27:54if he's alive or not.
27:59Oh, Victor.
28:01Uh, hi, Nick.
28:03I'll come back.
28:04No, no, no, no, no.
28:05You see?
28:06Nothing Nick and I discussed
28:08that you can't hear.
28:09Have a seat.
28:10I think I'll stand.
28:12So what's up?
28:14I need to tell you
28:15something, Victor.
28:16I didn't want you
28:17to hear from somebody else.
28:18And what's that?
28:20I will be representing
28:21Phyllis
28:22in the case against her
28:23after all.
28:26So she's been arrested?
28:28I'm afraid so.
28:36You know, to be honest with you,
28:37I can't believe
28:38that you are
28:39willing to defend
28:41who has become
28:42an enemy of mine.
28:44I prefer to think of it
28:45as helping out a friend.
28:49Michael Baldwin,
28:50you cross this line.
28:52There'd be no coming back.
28:54I was afraid you'd say that.
29:00I've always felt that
29:01everyone deserves
29:03an equitable representation
29:04in court.
29:06It's been my creed.
29:08You take your creed
29:10and get the hell
29:10out of the house.
29:11And don't you come back.
29:31Thank you for posting my bail.
29:34Daniel didn't even pick up
29:35when I called him.
29:36Well, I'd personally
29:37like to thank my husband
29:38for changing his mind
29:40and agreeing to represent you.
29:41I would like to thank him, too,
29:42if I wasn't so mad at him
29:44for not taking my case
29:45in the first place.
29:47You know,
29:48you might want to table
29:49that rant about
29:50what a terrible friend I'm doing.
29:52You can always argue
29:53that point
29:55after I make a case
29:56for your innocence.
29:57Right now,
29:58we have to start
29:58building a defense,
29:59which means we have
30:00to establish the fact
30:02that Victor did
30:02fabricate the evidence
30:05without showing
30:05that you actually
30:06did steal the company.
30:08That sounds just as bad
30:09when you say it out loud.
30:14Oh, maybe I have
30:15been avoiding the truth
30:17that I have some need
30:18for self-preservation.
30:21Your mom is right.
30:23When it comes to Matt,
30:24we need to be absolutely sure.
30:26We all know
30:27this wouldn't be
30:28the first time
30:28Matt came back
30:30after everyone thought
30:31they were rid of him.
30:32You said he wasn't moving
30:33after the last hit.
30:34No, he wasn't.
30:35But now that I'm going
30:36back over everything,
30:38I...
30:39Look, look,
30:40I was really shaken up
30:41after the fight,
30:42so maybe, maybe
30:43I couldn't feel his pulse.
30:45Maybe it was too weak,
30:46and...
30:48My heart was pounding.
30:49I wasn't thinking straight.
30:50With Matt Clark,
30:51anything is possible.
30:53And if he isn't dead,
30:55then he is going
30:55to be coming for me
30:58until I am.
30:59I hate to say this,
31:00but if Matt is still alive,
31:02he is coming back
31:03for all of us.
31:06You must have really
31:07tied one on
31:08if you don't even
31:08know where you are.
31:10That what the ice is for?
31:11You nursing a hangover?
31:15One of those,
31:15a wedding ring?
31:17Hiding from the wife.
31:19Can you just answer
31:21my question?
31:22You're still in Vegas, baby,
31:24even if you don't want to be.
31:26Oh.
31:27Yeah, I definitely
31:28don't want to be.
31:31She's in Vegas?
31:33I didn't want to say
31:34anything in front of Michael,
31:36but earlier,
31:36you basically admitted
31:37to me and Adam
31:38that the emails
31:39you handed over
31:40as evidence
31:41were fabricated.
31:42What about it?
31:44Look, Dad,
31:44I understand the need
31:45to get the company back
31:46by any means necessary.
31:48I'm as furious
31:49at Phyllis as anyone,
31:50maybe even more so
31:52considering our history,
31:53but I do not like
31:54the idea that my family
31:56is having my daughter's
31:57mother arrested
31:58using false information.
32:00Phyllis brought all this
32:02on herself, you know.
32:03She deserves exactly
32:04what she's getting.
32:10Mom.
32:29I hope you're here
32:30because you thought
32:31about what I said.
32:31I came to write
32:32a concerto.
32:33I just need to change
32:34into my writing clothes.
32:35Mother, mother,
32:35just come in
32:37and say hello.
32:38I don't think
32:38it's a good idea.
32:39Mom,
32:40you need to sit down
32:41and talk to him.
32:42Father and I have said
32:42all we have to say
32:43to each other.
32:44Now, if you'll excuse me.
32:45Mom, please.
32:51You cannot
32:52be okay with this.
32:53I think your mother
32:54has made herself
32:55perfectly clear
32:56she has no interest
32:57in working things out.
32:59I don't believe that.
33:00The son and I
33:00have accepted it
33:03and so should you.
33:07So, it's definitely
33:09too late
33:09to give Victor
33:10his company back
33:11in hopes of having
33:12the charges dropped?
33:13Yes.
33:13Yes.
33:14I told you before
33:15it wasn't an option
33:16I meant it.
33:20Well, then,
33:21unfortunately,
33:21your digging in
33:22means your case
33:23is completely
33:24in Christine's hands.
33:26You think I'm afraid
33:27of Christine?
33:28Maybe you should be.
33:30Is there any reason
33:31to believe
33:31that she would drop
33:32this case?
33:33She seemed genuinely
33:34conflicted when I
33:35spoke to her earlier.
33:36You should have
33:36seen her face.
33:38I mean,
33:38she was salivating
33:40when that policeman
33:41was reading me
33:42my rights.
33:42Come on.
33:43All right,
33:44well, for argument's sake,
33:45I mean,
33:46what if she wanted
33:47to drop the case?
33:48Is that still
33:49a possibility?
33:51You know,
33:52on a personal level,
33:54given the ripple effects
33:55on her own family,
33:56I would imagine
33:56that Christine
33:57would be more than happy
33:58to avoid this case
33:59going to trial.
34:01But being the
34:02consummate profession
34:03as she is,
34:03she would never
34:04let her personal life
34:05affect her duties
34:07as the new DA.
34:08Oh,
34:08the consummate professional.
34:11She has had it out
34:12for me for years.
34:13Years.
34:14That's what's driving this.
34:15Her jealousy
34:17and resentment
34:17toward me.
34:18It's spilling over.
34:20Yeah,
34:20well,
34:20even if Christine,
34:21on a personal level,
34:22would like to stick it
34:23to you,
34:24no one takes her job
34:25more seriously
34:26than she does.
34:27So,
34:28if and when this case
34:29goes to trial,
34:29she will need
34:30no added incentive,
34:31I guarantee you.
34:33Whoever the defendant is,
34:35she will be out
34:36for blood.
34:39Oh,
34:40what if I did
34:40get it wrong?
34:41That means Matt
34:42is going to be out there
34:42and ready to strike again.
34:44If Matt is still alive,
34:46we need to stay strong
34:47and not be intimidated
34:48by the threat of him.
34:50Mom's right.
34:50If Matt smells blood,
34:51he'll attack.
34:52We can't give any indication
34:53that we are not
34:54absolutely prepared
34:55to do whatever it takes
34:57to stop him.
34:57I swear to you,
34:59if Matt is still out there,
35:00I will not let him
35:01hurt you
35:02or anyone else
35:03in our family
35:04ever again.
35:16Okay.
35:23I gotta figure out
35:24what the hell
35:25happened to me
35:28and know who the hell
35:29I am.
35:59Join us again
36:00for the young
36:01and the restless.
36:01We'll see you next time.
