00:07Hi, Grandma. I'm just calling to check in and not about Grandpa or Chancellor because
00:14there's a new Degaw exhibit in Chicago and I thought it would be really fun if we could
00:18go together. All right, let me know. I love you. Bye.
00:29It's the last table. I can see that. Well, you know, as crazy as this sounds, maybe we can share
00:41it.
00:47What's this?
00:49Just some tea in case you're cold. Yeah.
00:53I'm okay, but thank you.
00:56It's just that you're wearing my sweater indoors and it's me. So I just thought...
01:03Yeah, it smells like you, so...
01:11I don't know. I just... I just... I put it on.
01:15Well, here's the deal. The sweater is yours now. But you have to eat something.
01:22I will. I promise.
01:23When?
01:23Later.
01:28Look, Matt.
01:31Nothing feels right. Nothing tastes right.
01:35I need to wear your sweater so something feels a little bit normal.
01:42Matt's in hell or he's coming for us.
01:45And I can't do anything until I know which.
01:59Hey.
02:00Matt.
02:03Mom, man.
02:04Hey.
02:07No? All right, give me a beer.
02:11Just...
02:11Whatever beer you got handy.
02:13I don't know.
02:18What?
02:19What?
02:23What?
02:25What?
02:54Amen, you like working here?
02:55Yeah, the hours are great and everything is top shelf.
03:00Cool. You get a lot of regulars?
03:04Yes, but we're always happy for new faces.
03:08Perfect. So glad to hear it.
03:14Boss? The usual?
03:18Explain. Usual? Hey man, you one of the regulars?
03:24You could say that.
03:27Have we ever met before?
03:33Don't think so.
03:35No.
03:51Oh my goodness. Look, it's sunshine and rainbows.
03:57Heard you were arrested.
04:01What, are you bummed out that I'm not sitting in a cell so you could take over my office?
04:05Your office?
04:06Yeah, my office, Nick. Permanently. Obviously.
04:10I don't think the judge is going to see it like that.
04:13Are you sad that you missed my part block? Are you sad? I'm sure you're disappointed.
04:18Yeah. It's had a huge impact on you, I can tell. You have no shame.
04:22What, for that bogus attack? You know the people who should be ashamed? Victor and Christine, they should be ashamed.
04:31You just keep digging that hole for yourself.
04:35What happened to you? You used to be my hero. You would swoop in and you'd save the day for
04:42me. What did you do? Hang up your white hat so you could just be a robot for your dad?
04:47Do whatever your father said?
04:48Enough, Phyllis. Enough. Okay? You are facing prison. You know that, right?
04:55Now you're going to be my friend. Now you're going to give me advice. You want me to just hand
05:00over Summer's conglomerate and just bow to the feet of the great and powerful Victor Newman, except guess what? He's
05:06not so great, is he? And he's certainly not powerful anymore.
05:13It's prison. That means you're going to lose everything. Everything that you've stolen, your freedom. I guess your kids turning
05:21their back on you isn't enough.
05:23My kids will be back. No. No, they won't. I'm telling you, you need to take the nearest exit ramp,
05:29pat yourself on the back, convince yourself that you taught us all a lesson, because whatever point it is that
05:35you were trying to make is the only thing you're going to have left.
05:42Oh, Lily. Come in. Come in. This is an absolutely wonderful surprise.
05:48Yeah. Sorry. I know I should have called. I just, I didn't really know where else to go.
05:52Oh, no, no. This is a treat for me. Always.
05:58Oh, sweetie. Oh, sweetie. It's going to be okay. What is it? Tell me everything. Let it out, honey. I'm
06:04sorry.
06:12Sweetie. Is it Malcolm? Yes. I mean, no, he's, yes, he's, no, he's okay. He's sorry. And I'm all over
06:22the place.
06:22No, no. It's perfectly understandable, especially considering the circumstances. Just tell me what's happened since I saw you last. You
06:31said that Malcolm is okay.
06:33Yes, he's fine right now. It's just, it's been nerve-wracking. Like, we couldn't find a match, you know? It
06:40wasn't Holden. It wasn't the twins. It wasn't Devon or Nate.
06:44Wait, wait. Devon and Nate tested? It doesn't have to be a blood relation? Well, Lily, I can test.
06:51Well, go right away. It's a long shot. It's fine. It's fine. We found a match.
06:54What? Yeah. Is it someone you know? Yes, it's Cain. It's Cain. I mean, he took a chance. He went
07:03and got tested and he was a match.
07:06And he did it for you. And it paid off. Oh, this is incredible news.
07:13Yeah, I mean, he did it for me, you know? He also did it because he couldn't help his dad.
07:20And he knew how badly I felt that I couldn't help mine. And he didn't want me to lose Malcolm,
07:28too.
07:28Of course he didn't because he cares about you so much. You know, he does. He's been so patient with
07:41me. And we had dinner.
07:46Wait, you and Cain? Yeah. And Nate, Devon, Holden, his mom, Stephanie.
07:53Wow, this is your first expanded family dinner. Yeah, it was nice. We got to celebrate. We called Malcolm and
08:03the kids and told them the good news.
08:05I can't imagine how much joy was on that phone call. You should have seen Cain's face. He just felt
08:13so happy that the twins were happy and it was because of him and his selflessness.
08:23Lily, you know, Cain has always wanted badly to make a contribution like that. It's nice to know that that
08:31part of him hasn't changed, no matter what else has.
08:34I kind of feel like I recognize him again. I never expected him to be perfect. That wasn't the issue.
08:42It was just that the Dumas thing was something else entirely.
08:46Okay. You know, Lily, people can change their circumstances. They can have a new home, a new country, a new
08:56career. It is not quite so easy to change a person's soul.
09:01I feel like he's himself again. Or still, I don't know which. Does it matter? Maybe not.
09:14This must feel like the most amazing miracle for you. A cure for Malcolm and to know for sure that
09:22Cain is still the same man who holds your heart.
09:29You are safe. We are safe. We are all safe.
09:33I would not if Ned is still out there. We need no proof that he is dead. God, I was
09:42so sure. I swear it was just, it was, it was maybe my panic, a wishful thinking.
09:50I mean, how many times has he cheated death?
09:53He's never going to die.
09:54He's never going to stop.
09:56So, you know what?
09:56You can't say that we are safe.
09:59Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
10:01You're exhausted.
10:03Okay?
10:05Mascotten inside your ring.
10:06But you won't get a chance to do that again.
10:09You need sleep.
10:12I know it's not going to solve everything.
10:14But it'll help.
10:17I promise.
10:19Please.
10:24Okay.
10:30But...
10:32Will you come up and lay down with me?
10:35At some point, it doesn't have to be right now.
10:38I will.
10:39I will.
10:46You do a sweater on.
10:48Was there any other option?
11:11Grandpa, can you give me a call back when you have an update from the team?
11:14I don't know if they found Matt or better.
11:18His corpse.
11:21I mean...
11:22So, what's the usual around here?
11:27I just like to keep it simple.
11:30Yeah, I mean...
11:31So do I.
11:32All right.
11:33Excuse me.
11:47Hey, is that message you sent me serious?
11:55Yeah.
11:56Damn.
11:57As soon as I made bail, I called an all-hands meeting just to let everybody know that there'd
12:01be no fallout here.
12:03There's no problems.
12:04All's good.
12:06Victor's pissed.
12:07Yeah.
12:08He wants to beat the hell out of everyone.
12:10I mean, I'm not even at the top of the list.
12:12I mean, I'm not the one sitting behind the desk.
12:15What is his BA facing the charges on?
12:17What do you think?
12:18Made up a guy's slot from the new ones.
12:21You know, at least the irony is alive and well.
12:24You know, I'm so tired of the warnings from your family.
12:27I'm so tired of it, Nick.
12:29Really.
12:30Don't piss off Victor.
12:31Don't beat him at his own game.
12:33Don't do to him what he's done to everybody else in the world.
12:36Has anybody once ever told that man, give up and walk away?
12:39Yeah, all the time.
12:40All the time.
12:41But it doesn't matter.
12:42It's not the point.
12:43What's the point?
12:43What is it?
12:44It's his company.
12:46It doesn't matter what you change in this room.
12:48It's his.
12:50Well, apparently it's not.
12:52Why are you like this?
12:54Why do you make it so hard for people to care about you?
12:57Think about all the things you've done to those people.
12:59And you throw all their forgiveness right back in their face.
13:01It's like every relationship you have is this test.
13:05Just forget about every horrible thing I've done.
13:07Because this is who I am that's never going to change.
13:10Wait a second.
13:10Wait.
13:11Wait.
13:15Stop shouting at me.
13:18What is going on with you?
13:19Are you okay?
13:36This isn't me being rude or sending a signal.
13:40What kind of signal?
13:43That I want to avoid conversation.
13:46Go right ahead.
13:48Thanks.
13:51Just, you know, work emails.
13:54You know how that goes.
13:56Inspector Charles is functioning at two levels at this point.
14:00Yes, as a world leader.
14:02But, you know, also it's taken on a life of its own.
14:06Two strong women and best friends.
14:09No less.
14:10Leading an exciting media company.
14:14Oh, my God.
14:15The interview requests are just endless.
14:19I mean, the same goes for photos.
14:21Actually, the demand for photos is huge.
14:24Which isn't great and all.
14:25But, like, at a certain point, it's like, come on.
14:32Are you in a coma or something?
14:36The blank stare.
14:39Should I call for help?
14:41Oh, I'm sorry.
14:42Were you talking to me?
14:44That's so embarrassing.
14:45I assumed that you were just hyping yourself up out loud for the benefit of strangers.
14:51No worries.
14:52Just making conversation.
14:55I know you must be bored and kind of lonely.
15:00Since, you know, you're out of work because your family lost everything.
15:08Wait, what?
15:10What's going on?
15:11Is your family pressuring you?
15:13Because none of this is on you.
15:14I know it's not.
15:15This is on you.
15:16Okay.
15:17Okay.
15:18Whatever.
15:20Are you all right?
15:21Why?
15:22Why are you asking that?
15:23Because you're such a deep and caring person?
15:25Yes, I am.
15:26Oh, and you...
15:26To certain people...
15:27Want to help me?
15:28Something is off.
15:29Yes, I do want to help you.
15:30You are the father of my child, Nick.
15:34Something is happening with you.
15:36Some things are more important than business.
15:38Yeah, this isn't business, all right?
15:39This is a black hole of greed that's never going to go away because it's never going to be enough.
15:44Just stop already.
15:46And stop trying to pretend like we're friends or that our history means anything to you.
15:50Because if it did, you would stop trying to destroy the people I care about.
15:54I used to be one of those people.
15:55Yeah, you were.
15:56Because you used to deserve it.
16:00You know what?
16:00Stop.
16:01Don't stop.
16:02I don't care.
16:03I don't care what happens to you anymore.
16:05I don't care.
16:19I don't care.
16:25I don't care what happens to you anymore.
16:40I don't care what happens to you anymore.
16:50And then Cain got arrested.
16:52What?
16:53What happened?
16:54Yes.
16:55It's something to do with the Newman takeover.
16:57Oh, for God's sake.
16:58And I don't know the details, but Cain's saying the evidence is made up.
17:02Well, all you have to do is say Victor Newman, and I am absolutely not surprised.
17:08But Cain is a match, so there has got to be a way to sort all of this out.
17:13Yeah, maybe.
17:14But, like, what if it's a sign?
17:17What if it's a warning that everything is going to fall apart?
17:22I made bail, obviously, but they told me I was a flight risk, and I can't leave town.
17:27And they know that you have other home properties overseas.
17:30Yeah, but it's a legitimate medical emergency.
17:32I'm the only approved bone marrow donor.
17:35All right, give me a second.
17:36Let me call my mother and see how this affects Malcolm's treatment.
17:39Just find out what can be done from here.
17:41Okay.
17:42We'll roll with it.
17:43Whatever needs to be done will be done.
17:44Absolutely.
17:54Hey, look at us, free and easy, no worse for the wearer.
17:57You couldn't have just left well enough alone.
18:00I will never forgive you for this.
18:06Thank you so much for your concern.
18:08And I know that it's heartfelt, well, as heartfelt as one can manage without an actual heart.
18:15Oh, now that's more like it.
18:18Hmm.
18:19You know, I am so happy that we don't have to make nice.
18:23It's so awkward.
18:25It's a phony.
18:25Right?
18:26We don't have to pretend to be friends.
18:28It's just a fact of life.
18:29We don't have to like each other.
18:30We can just tolerate each other like civilized adults.
18:34I love that for us.
18:36Which means that there's no reason for me to comment on the fact that part of your company
18:39is Newman Media, meaning stolen property.
18:44It's kind of a theme for you, isn't it?
18:46Theft.
18:46Hmm.
18:48Am I supposed to know what that means?
18:50Why?
18:51Because you can't tell all your different scams apart?
18:54Would an apology help?
18:56Is that what you need?
18:58You should have just said so.
19:03Claire?
19:06Claire, I am so sorry that I am killing it in my position, and you have no one left to
19:14hand you a job you don't deserve.
19:21Claire, we've got to have some kind of time here, I mean, Malcolm has to do something, right,
19:26to prepare for the procedure.
19:27Yeah, he has to get chemo and radiation.
19:31Okay, good.
19:31So we have some time to sort this out.
19:33Now, have you had a chance to talk to Holden's mother about this little thing?
19:37No, no, I'm not going to call her, because she's going to call Malcolm, and it's just going
19:41to worry him.
19:42I don't want to do that.
19:43Okay.
19:44How about Holden?
19:44Have you talked to him?
19:46No, I just, I feel weird calling him, you know?
19:52I mean, if anything, I will call Devon, but I'm sure Devon knows from Nate, because Nate
19:56was there when Cain got arrested.
19:57Okay, so Devon and Nate already know you don't have anything to explain to them.
20:02Let's get back to Holden.
20:06You said that you all had dinner together.
20:07Were you able to get any new insights into your brother?
20:13I mean, I guess I realized there's more to him than I thought, you know?
20:19He talked about fate and destiny when it came to finding out about Malcolm and his illness.
20:26There's a lot to process.
20:29I mean, he's family now.
20:33He's Malcolm's son.
20:36But you don't quite think of him yet as a brother.
20:41No, I mean, I have concerns.
20:46Of course you do.
20:47I mean, just look at how things went when he first came to town.
20:50His anger with Damien.
20:52That didn't sit well with you at the time, if I remember correctly.
20:57Those two men, that relationship, I mean, neither one of them had any siblings.
21:02And so I bet that relationship was really important to them.
21:08I think about it.
21:10Holden didn't have a sibling or a father in the house.
21:14Can't imagine how differently his life would have been if he had been raised as part of the Winters family.
21:21What a different man he might be now.
21:24I mean, look at Devon.
21:27How much changed for him when he became a part of your family.
21:32And as I remember, the two of you did not see eye to eye on things.
21:38But how wonderful that you had all that time to get to know each other and love each other deeply.
21:47Do you think I should give Holden the benefit of the doubt?
21:50Well, you're all on the same side right now.
21:53You, your family, even Cain.
21:57Oh, honey, you all want Malcolm to get well.
22:02What just a tremendous bond that is to share.
22:08It's the kind of bond that changes lives.
22:18Hey, I finally convinced Cain to get some rest.
22:23How's she doing?
22:24She's about ready to crawl out of her own skin, waiting for Matt to show up.
22:28I left a message for Grandpa asking for any news about Matt.
22:31Nothing so far.
22:33I contacted the Vegas team directly.
22:35They've pinpointed local water parks based on CNS landmarks.
22:38They're doing their best, but it's a lot of ground to cover.
22:41So they're still in progress?
22:43So far, they have not found Matt's car.
22:46Or his body.
22:48Oh, my goodness.
22:50Why are you freaking out in public?
22:51I was arrested here.
22:53In front of my guests and my employees.
22:55Because of you.
22:56I was arrested, too.
22:57I'm in this room.
22:57I wanted out.
22:58I wanted to back out.
22:59I wanted to give it all back on a bottle of chloroform later.
23:01Oh, really?
23:02Is that where it started?
23:03It didn't start in your magical computer lab, Cain.
23:07I'm guilty.
23:08You're innocent.
23:09Is that how it's going to go?
23:10That's some denial going on with you.
23:12Get out.
23:13Get out of where?
23:14Out of your face?
23:15Out of the club?
23:16You need all the paying customers you can get.
23:26Uh, what did Stephanie say?
23:28She said that it's not an issue.
23:30That the retrieval can't happen here.
23:32Yeah, but Lily wants to go to New York.
23:35Which she could.
23:36Oh, and continue to move forward even if you can't leave town.
23:39I actually got a text from Lily that I'm going to meet her at Crimson Lights right now.
23:43I need to come with you.
23:46Okay.
23:46Let's do it.
23:52You're poison.
23:54But you already know that.
23:56I just wish I'd found out sooner.
24:10It's really important to you that you have a job and I don't.
24:14Well, a job is important to most people, Claire.
24:17We don't all get to live on our grandparents' ranch and fly in private jets.
24:23Now, also, having a job can be very satisfying.
24:27Especially when you earn it on your own merits, not because your granny is the boss.
24:32That's true.
24:33My grandparents did technically give me my first job and then they did give me my second job.
24:39Because I worked hard and I learned everything that I could and they trusted me.
24:45Isn't that kind of like how Sally trusts you?
24:48You know, because she gave you your job.
24:50No, that's not the same thing at all.
24:52Oh, it's not?
24:53No, it's not.
24:53I earned it and I work my ass off every day.
24:57Of course you do.
24:58It's smart to throw yourself into your work.
25:00Then it's not embarrassing when you have no social life.
25:03And good for you.
25:04I think it's great that you're out here showing your face in public when everyone knows that you've screwed everything.
25:13How?
25:14Screwed everything up.
25:15Sorry.
25:15Misspoke.
25:16Kind of like when you threw yourself at Kyle to try to get something in return.
25:21That doesn't make you a...
25:25Doesn't mean that you're morally compromised.
25:27No matter what anyone says.
25:30Excuse me?
25:30Well, people gossip, you know?
25:32Someone told me recently, actually, that you're pining after my cousin Noah again.
25:36But I told them to leave you alone because of course you miss Noah.
25:40He's probably the last decent thing you had in your life.
25:43Okay, you want to talk about exes?
25:47Like Kyle?
25:48Mm-hmm.
25:49Who you never really cared about.
25:51It's not some deep romantic bond.
25:54Maybe you cared about his kid or whatever, but...
25:57I think you just pretended to.
25:59Because it makes you look like the nurturing type and all the psycho that you really are.
26:03And as soon as everyone forgot about your crimes, you forgot about the Abbots.
26:08It's so much for your big heart, Claire.
26:12Oh, and then there's Holden, who's a decent guy, even though he has questionable taste in women.
26:21But you're so obsessed with me that you've never really given him a real chance and got to know him.
26:28And as far as Noah goes, protecting a new man when you try to kill them all?
26:34It's a little hypocritical, Claire, don't you think?
26:36You know what?
26:37Sorry, I can't stay.
26:39I'm very busy and people need me.
26:42Michael Allen says to all of them.
26:47So they haven't found Matt's body, which means maybe Sienna didn't kill it.
26:53We always knew that was a possibility.
26:57Sienna's terrified enough as it is right now, and I'm not ready to let her know that she has every
27:02reason to worry.
27:03Well, the Newman team is out there.
27:05They may still find him.
27:06If they don't, then the cops might.
27:07I hope you're right.
27:10Here.
27:11All right.
27:11I've got to take off.
27:14If I hear anything, I'll hit you up.
27:17Nice, sir.
27:30Your boss is really charming, isn't he?
27:35You don't need to answer.
27:36I get it.
27:37I get it.
27:38You work for him.
27:39He signed your checks.
27:40Maybe he's not the one signing your checks.
27:41Maybe it's some accountant on an accounting train.
27:49Shut up.
27:51I'll have another one of these after this.
27:54I'll leave a big tip.
27:56Sounds good.
27:59Good.
28:13Why are you staring at me?
28:18Hey.
28:19Hey.
28:20Hey.
28:21Tane.
28:21I didn't know that you would be here.
28:22I asked him to come with.
28:24No, no.
28:25It's good.
28:25So you made bail.
28:27Yeah.
28:27Amanda had to fight like hell.
28:29So was the evidence convincing?
28:31Courtesy of AI.
28:32But I'm going to fight it all the way.
28:34Okay.
28:34But now we need to talk about Malcolm.
28:37You two are going to fight in New York when the time comes.
28:40Yeah.
28:40So does that mean that you can come too?
28:42Because, I mean, it would mean a lot to everyone, especially me.
28:45I can't.
28:47I can't leave General City.
28:53I told Christine this was a life or death situation.
28:56She told me that she would tell the judge she wouldn't object to you leaving town.
29:00And Amanda made the request.
29:01We got turned down.
29:02What do you mean?
29:03The judge doesn't care?
29:04How could I not care?
29:05Amanda tried, Lily.
29:07Okay.
29:07Well, clearly not hard enough.
29:11Hey.
29:11No.
29:11Listen.
29:12Listen.
29:12Listen.
29:12I'm.
29:12I'm.
29:13Hey.
29:13Hey.
29:13I'm the one that screwed up.
29:15Okay?
29:16It's my fault that I got arrested.
29:17Yeah.
29:17Look, I know you feel remorse.
29:19Okay?
29:19I can see it.
29:20But how could the judge not see that?
29:21I mean, why would Christine even bring these charges?
29:24My mom.
29:25My mom's confirmed that Cain can't do the donation with people here.
29:28And have a courier to New York.
29:29It's not unusual.
29:30I know.
29:30But what if something goes wrong?
29:32What if there's an accident or a delay?
29:33The chances of that are slim.
29:35The chances of you being a match were slim.
29:37And that happened.
29:38Which just goes to show that luck is on our side.
29:40Well, what if we don't have any more luck?
29:42Can I talk to you for a minute?
29:44Come on.
29:51Did you hear all that?
29:53And that hasn't been found?
29:55Not yet.
29:56Because he's probably alive and planning his next move.
30:00Not what we said.
30:00But it's the truth.
30:01No, we don't know anything for certain yet.
30:04Oh, come on.
30:05Newman's security.
30:06They would have found a body if I had actually killed him.
30:10And God, I checked.
30:11I checked for his pulse.
30:13I was so sure.
30:14Yeah, and as far as we know, you were right.
30:18You know, I was always scared of him.
30:22Always.
30:25It was like this, I don't know, this sense I had.
30:30It was like an alarm bell that was quietly going off.
30:35And God, I'm so stupid.
30:37No, no, no, not then and not...
30:39Oh, God, I just pretended.
30:41I pretended it was excitement, like living life on the edge.
30:45And I just...
30:46I never knew how evil he was.
30:48I could not have imagined this.
30:51I should have stayed with him.
30:53I should have stayed with him in the desert to see if he woke up.
30:56You were in shock.
30:57So what do I do?
30:58I run back to a hotel so I could fall apart?
31:01He thought you had killed him.
31:02You cannot kill the devil.
31:04He will always come back.
31:06And now he is out there, and we are never going to see him coming.
31:13I'm sorry.
31:17Yeah, you're just staring at me.
31:19I mean, you're staring at me for a while.
31:22I mean, I would think someone like you would be used to it at this point.
31:29What is that supposed to mean?
31:31That is a compliment.
31:31Man to God, you have main character energy.
31:36Wait, did you get that off the internet?
31:39Maybe.
31:40Yeah, I'm not sure.
31:41I don't remember.
31:43Okay.
31:45Okay.
31:47So the intense guy, he seems to kind of run the place.
31:51He's the manager or something?
31:52Yeah, he's the owner.
31:52The owner?
31:53Yeah, he's the owner.
31:55And I live here, and he always acts like I'm on his turf.
32:01You live here?
32:02Uh-huh.
32:03I do.
32:04Is that okay?
32:05Do you have a problem with you living here?
32:06No, I don't have a problem.
32:07It's a hotel.
32:08I mean, are there others like you?
32:10Are you the only one that's here long term?
32:12Or what?
32:13Did you just walk off the street and walk into this hotel to have a drink?
32:19I mean...
32:20Right, because that would be crazy.
32:21No, I'm asking you.
32:23Are you from...
32:24You're not from around here?
32:26Well, if you don't recognize me, then I guess I'm not from around here.
32:33Are you always, like, this big?
32:38Hard to say.
32:39Oh, okay.
32:40Okay.
32:40No.
32:41You smart ass.
32:42I'm not trying to be smart or an ass.
32:44Okay, it comes naturally, then.
32:46Mm-hmm.
32:48Honestly, I just don't remember who I am right now.
32:54Okay.
33:01Hey.
33:02Hey.
33:04I've seen you twice in one day.
33:06I like it.
33:08I'm glad to see you, too.
33:11It seems like...
33:12Is everything okay?
33:15It's just that everyday annoyance, you know.
33:17Like what?
33:18You know, that thing that I would love to be able to avoid, but for some reason that's not possible?
33:24Sometimes those things don't work out the way you want.
33:27No, they really don't.
33:29But, you know what?
33:30There's usually a workaround.
33:32The trick is you have to find it.
33:35Exactly.
33:35Right.
33:36That brings me to my point.
33:39I accept.
33:41But is this your way of saying that you want me to get that coffee?
33:45No, I already have.
33:46Oh, so you came here just for me.
33:49To tell you that I would like to go to New York with you.
33:56That's great.
33:58But are you trying to get away from your daily annoyances, or is there more to it than that?
34:04Oh, I think it was silly that I didn't say yes earlier.
34:07It doesn't matter when you became a part of your family.
34:09It's important that you're there for them.
34:11And I think that you deserve to have someone there for you, too.
34:17I appreciate that.
34:19So, part of your trip is getting away from Genoa City.
34:23The other part is being a good friend.
34:26Maybe we could sprinkle some fun in there at some point.
34:29Maybe.
34:31And if you do tell me what happened between you and Audra in L.A., I'll just consider that a
34:37bonus.
34:42Listen to me.
34:45Expecting everything to go wrong isn't going to stop things from happening.
34:50Okay, no.
34:50Hey.
34:51We need to tell ourselves that we need to problem solve in advance.
34:55Yes, it's important to have contingency plans, but we can't just sit in fear.
34:59Okay, we just have to take everything as it comes.
35:03Okay, well, I'm sorry I can't be as calm as everyone else, because everything is spinning out of control.
35:07I mean, you can't even leave town.
35:09No, but I can do my part from here.
35:11Maybe the odds are against us.
35:14Listen.
35:17If you need me in New York, when the time comes, I will take my chances with the law.
35:24What does that mean?
35:25It means if I have to, I will break my bail.
35:31What keeps playing in my head...
35:37Is was there a year?
35:40Or a day?
35:41Or a minute where things could have been different?
35:44What if I had never met Matt?
35:47What if I never let him suck me in?
35:50What if I had bolted the first time I knew that he was bad for me?
35:56I mean, what if I had done anything different?
35:58Made one choice?
36:01Then you and your family wouldn't be dealing with this.
36:04This would not be happening.
36:06I...
36:06I...
36:10Matt was always going to come after my family.
36:16You know, I hate that he got the chance to hurt you.
36:22There's still a chance that he's gone for good.
36:26He is coming, Noah.
36:29I can feel it.
36:31And I think he is already here.
36:35Okay, that guy was just a tool to me.
36:38Right, owner guy?
36:39Yes.
36:39He wanted to reinvent himself.
36:42Okay.
36:42Not following him.
36:43Okay, well, keep up because I'm getting into it.
36:45All right, so he wanted to forget his past, so he created a whole new hymn.
36:52And the hymn he created was, like, tough.
36:55And he had skill, and he had brawn, and he didn't care if anyone didn't like him.
37:01Great.
37:01That sounds like a really good thing.
37:03Obviously.
37:04Obviously.
37:04Yeah.
37:05But it doesn't seem like you two are getting along something.
37:06Yeah, I know, because he reverted to the old hymn.
37:09And now he's, like, this lovesick, wimpy hymn.
37:15Yeah.
37:16Mm-hmm.
37:17Okay.
37:17Just trying to keep up, like you said.
37:20You're for or against reinvention.
37:26I created a hotel called the Grand Phoenix.
37:32There's your answer.
37:34I got it.
37:38I just wish I could remember who I am.
37:44What I wouldn't give for a memory wipe right now.
37:47I got it.
