00:13Oh, fancy seeing you here.
00:16I need my morning fix.
00:17But you know what?
00:17How about I treat you and you join me if you're free?
00:22You seem chipper.
00:24Well, there is some good news.
00:28It's official.
00:30Cain is a match for Malcolm.
00:31Test results have confirmed.
00:34Excuse me.
00:34One more for her.
00:35Thanks.
00:38Well, hold on.
00:39That's wonderful news.
00:41You must be so relieved.
00:42I am.
00:43I am.
00:43I'm really happy for him.
00:44And my mom.
00:45And everyone.
00:47You know?
00:48All systems are go.
00:50So what's the next step?
00:52Well, my mom's gone off to New York with Malcolm.
00:55They started the pre-transplant treatment.
00:57How long does that take?
00:59A week.
01:00Maybe more.
01:01And then Cain's going to fly out after that once Malcolm's condition is optimal for surgery.
01:07Well, isn't Cain the hero at the moment?
01:08I couldn't believe it when you said he was even a possibility.
01:11Mm-hmm.
01:12And he chose to get tested.
01:15May have saved everything.
01:17Good for Cain.
01:19Well, it's good for all of us.
01:21My mom wants me to go out east and be there for the surgery.
01:26Oh, you're going to New York?
01:27The Big Apple.
01:28New York City.
01:29That's exciting.
01:31I've never been.
01:35All right.
01:35I'm on to you.
01:37What?
01:38You want me to ask you to come along, right?
01:41Do another trip?
01:43Yeah, because we're nothing if not compatible travel companions.
01:47I mean, you said it.
01:49Not me.
01:56Where'd you park?
01:58Um, over there.
02:00You?
02:01Over there.
02:04Do you want me to walk you to your car?
02:06Uh, no.
02:07I can take it from here.
02:09Okay.
02:11Drive safe.
02:12You too.
02:14And, um, thank you for what you were willing to do for Malcolm.
02:20For all of us.
02:22Anytime.
02:39Good night.
02:45This is for you.
02:47Uh, I didn't order anything yet.
02:50Yeah, I had to get you to whip you up something a little extra special.
02:53What?
02:55Smells good.
02:56Does it remind you of anything?
02:59No.
03:00No?
03:01Okay, your smile is making me very nervous.
03:03Just try it.
03:05Are you going to get my reaction or something to this?
03:07Like, what's in it?
03:08I'm trying to do something nice for you.
03:09Would you just, would you work with me?
03:10Okay, what's in your drink?
03:11Maybe I should have your instead.
03:13I can sip of yours.
03:14Take a sip.
03:16Oh, boy.
03:23All the flavors?
03:25All the best flavors.
03:27Oh, my God.
03:29Wait, this is the drink that Kevin would make the kids at Crimson Lights.
03:33Yeah, except yours has coffee.
03:35Oh, delicious.
03:37How about, wow, Kane, you are so sweet.
03:41That was such an amazing gesture.
03:42How thoughtful of you.
03:43Oh, my God.
03:44Wow, Kane, you are so sweet.
03:47I'm surprised you remember all the flavors.
03:49I mean, how could I forget?
03:51Kids running into our room at the crack of dawn, jumping on the bed and screaming, I want
03:55all the flavors.
03:56I know.
03:57I remember getting jumped on and I would just tell them, go ask your dad.
04:00Yeah.
04:00Go.
04:00Thank you for that.
04:06How are you doing?
04:08Any news about Malcolm?
04:11Um, yeah, I talked to him this morning.
04:14He started his treatment.
04:17You okay?
04:19You mean because it's chemo and I know what he's going to go through?
04:23I mean, yeah, I definitely feel for him for sure.
04:28But I'm really happy that things are on track.
04:32Good.
04:33Well, uh, Stephanie reached out and verified all my follow-up tests, so everything looks
04:39good.
04:39Definitely a match.
04:41Yeah, she told you.
04:42And I made arrangements to go to New York for the transplant, so once I get word, I will
04:46be ready.
04:49Again.
04:50Of course.
04:54Well, the treatment should take about a week or so, and then I'm planning on being
04:58there for the transplant, too.
05:01So we can fly together, then?
05:06Um, yeah, we could, in theory.
05:09I mean, if you want to.
05:10And what do you say?
05:11You, do you want to, do you want to go together?
05:25Do you want to go together?
05:51Yeah.
05:52Of course.
05:52I'll confirm I was arrested.
05:54Of course.
05:55But the evidence has no merit.
05:57It's fake.
05:58It's been fabricated.
05:59It's completely fabricated.
06:01It's not going to hold up in court or anywhere else.
06:05Yeah, Sid, please, please relax.
06:08Please.
06:10You're head of public relations, so you know how to spin this.
06:14You know what?
06:15This is just proof that Summer's conglomerate were in the big leagues right now, or else
06:19this wouldn't happen.
06:20So that's what you say.
06:21You just keep on saying that.
06:23You say, this story has no merit.
06:25The case has no merit.
06:26We'll see you in court.
06:27Don't make me do your job for you.
06:34Oh, I can't imagine why you're here, Billy.
06:37I should have known that I'd be dragged into your mess.
06:39I just had to talk someone else off the ledge.
06:41Please, don't make me do it with you.
06:43Just give me time.
06:44We both know that you're guilty of stealing Newman Enterprises, but what I want to know
06:48is are the emails legitimate, how big of a mess is this, and how stupid are you to
06:53have let this happen?
06:57Okay, so don't leave me hanging, all right?
06:58We're just talking about a plane ride.
07:00Oh my gosh, I'm just taking a moment and enjoying my drink.
07:04That I so kindly got for you.
07:06Okay, can I just have a second and think?
07:09Because you're always putting me on the spot.
07:10It's just one flight, and we're going to the same place.
07:12It's not just one flight.
07:13It's also the car ride to and from the airport.
07:15Okay, and then I'll carry your bags for you.
07:18And if you're lucky, maybe I'll ask the kitchen to prepare another one of these All The Flavors
07:21lattes for you.
07:23I'm not asking you to run away with me.
07:26Yeah, do a cross-country trip on your train?
07:29Yeah, if you want to.
07:30Is that a yes?
07:32Kane, oh my god.
07:33Lately.
07:35Okay, the truth is, I know how worried you are about Malcolm, and I know you're going to
07:39get on that plane alone, and you're going to start the spiral.
07:42It's okay.
07:42It's part of the process.
07:44But I can be there with you.
07:45I could sit next to you.
07:47I'll distract you.
07:48I'll make jokes.
07:50I'll be there for you.
07:51I could hold your hand if you want me to.
07:53Do you want me to?
07:56Come on, let me be there for you.
08:03Okay.
08:04Sorry.
08:05Okay?
08:06Yes, okay, we can go together.
08:08Okay, fine, we'll go together.
08:11I'll make arrangements.
08:16Tell me the truth.
08:17Did you say yes because of the latte?
08:18A hundred percent, yes.
08:20You know, our kids were sugar fiends because of you.
08:22That's all your fault.
08:23Well, you fed the beast.
08:25Occasionally.
08:26As targeted bribery, so my beautiful wife could sleep in.
08:29Okay, I already agreed to go with you, so don't make a thing of it, please.
08:32It's too late for that.
08:33Okay, you are so annoying.
08:35So annoying?
08:36I am so charming.
08:37There are so many people that think I'm charming.
08:39Some might even call me downright adorable.
08:41Adorable?
08:42I think more like delusional.
08:43Delusional?
08:44Yes.
08:44That's very hurtful.
08:47Hi, Christine.
08:48Something wrong?
08:49Kate, you're under arrest for corporate sabotage.
08:51Oh my God.
08:53Sir, I need you to turn around and place your hands behind your back.
09:10I was not trying to fish for an invitation to New York.
09:12Oh?
09:13I was just saying that I've never been and I'd like to go someday.
09:16Huh.
09:17It doesn't mean that I think that you should take me.
09:20Now I know.
09:22I'm just teasing you.
09:26Well, you clearly feel better about the situation with your dad.
09:29My dad?
09:31That is going to take some getting used to.
09:33But it is a weight off, knowing that we have a plan and place to help you.
09:36And just to be clear, I would never try to invite myself on a trip like this or make that
09:40experience about me.
09:40I hope you know that.
09:41I wouldn't want to impose.
09:43Because you're considerate and kind.
09:49And have you really never been to New York?
09:51I'll get there someday.
09:52I could be now.
09:55You don't let up, do you?
09:58If I'm being honest, I wouldn't mind the company.
10:00I'm still getting used to this whole new family situation.
10:04I could use this support.
10:05It just feels a little strange, the idea of me going.
10:08In terms of about Malcolm.
10:09Well, there's no pressure.
10:11And you're right.
10:12You know, it's probably not a good idea.
10:15Probably not.
10:15And I know that you don't completely trust me because of L.A. and my past there, which has made
10:23things awkward between us.
10:26It's tense.
10:27A bit sometimes.
10:28That's my fault.
10:29And I am sorry for putting that distance between us.
10:33But we are still friends, right?
10:35We are.
10:36And you've been so great to talk to about all of this.
10:41Also, we had an excellent first trip to L.A.
10:45What I'm saying is that you might end up hating New York.
10:48You know, it's a totally different vibe.
10:50Are you trying to get me to disagree with you like some kind of a reverse invitation?
10:54Well, it depends.
10:56On what?
10:58Will you accept my reverse invitation with a reverse acceptance?
11:06I want to know how big of a mess this is.
11:08I have a right to know.
11:11You know about the emails?
11:13Victoria told me.
11:14Oh, Victoria told you.
11:16It's so sweet for her to give you a heads up.
11:18You don't have to worry about anything.
11:20Oh, forgive me if I don't believe you, Phyllis.
11:21Your name is mentioned in the emails.
11:25But just as I mentioned, none of the emails came from you, so.
11:30So you've seen them?
11:31I've seen them all.
11:32They're being submitted as evidence.
11:35So the lawyers will get them.
11:38I want to be very clear.
11:39I did not send a single email to you or Kane about the takeover at Newman Enterprises.
11:43I didn't do it either.
11:46Although I was arrested.
11:48So the emails aren't legitimate?
11:50No, of course not.
11:51You think I'd do something so stupid, Billy?
11:54You knew that before you walked in here.
11:56I need the confirmation.
11:58It's all fake.
12:00Every single thing is fake.
12:01Everything that Christine has on me, all those emails are fake.
12:06You did it.
12:15You really had to do this in front of all my guests and my employees?
12:19You've been DA again for all of, what, two minutes?
12:21What could I possibly have done to warrant an arrest?
12:23You conspired with Phyllis Summers to use an AI program to illegally infiltrate Newman Enterprises.
12:28Documents were changed.
12:30Documents were changed.
12:30Signatures were forged in order to get the company.
12:33Now, I would advise you not to say another word until you reach your attorney.
12:37I've been read my rights.
12:38So you know what's next.
12:39I understand this wasn't the ideal place, but it had to be done.
12:42These allegations are ridiculous.
12:44If anybody was the victim of an AI attack, it was me.
12:46Victor decimated my company.
12:47There is evidence against you and Phyllis.
12:50Emails.
12:50Please, a paper trail?
12:51Yes, between the two of you.
12:53Relating to the takeover, you and your attorney can look them over.
12:56Lily, none of this is true.
12:57All right, Victor's up to something.
12:58Okay, all of this evidence is fabricated.
12:59I promise.
13:00Look, I don't care about this right now.
13:02Christine, please.
13:03This arrest cannot happen.
13:15My head hurts now.
13:17I said, uh, yes or no about New York.
13:20I thought we just established that you disinvited me.
13:23Or did you not invite me at all in the first place?
13:26Well, I didn't, I didn't not invite you to New York.
13:31Which means that you did.
13:33I, my head hurts now, too.
13:37You don't want me there.
13:39Your mom's going to be there.
13:40You've met my mom.
13:41She likes you.
13:42And so is the dad that you just found out that you have?
13:44And Lily, and maybe even our kids.
13:47That's one big happy family.
13:49Yeah, it's an opportunity for you to get to know them and share stories and bond.
13:53You know, I think I want to take it one beat at a time.
13:55We had dinner.
13:56Lily, Kane, my mom, myself.
13:59And, uh, it was nice.
14:01Are you still upset with your mom?
14:04I am not happy that she lied.
14:06To me or to Malcolm.
14:08And then dumping all this on me at once.
14:11The father I never knew.
14:13The illness.
14:14Although I know that the last one isn't Malcolm's fault.
14:16Nor is it my mom's fault.
14:18But still, it's a lie.
14:20I'm grateful that I have someone like you to talk to.
14:24You help me sort through everything I'm feeling.
14:26While I'm around, just a call away.
14:28I also do show up here on a regular basis.
14:31Coffee fix.
14:33Yeah.
14:36So when do you leave?
14:38Soon.
14:39Yeah, a day or so.
14:41You know, I do feel better knowing that Malcolm has a chance at full recovery.
14:46Yeah, of course.
14:47I didn't realize how afraid I was.
14:50For him.
14:51You know?
14:52Some guy I never knew.
14:55But he's not just some guy.
14:58You know, I think I'd like a chance to get to know him better.
15:03As, as my dad.
15:06I tell you, finding out about this holy family I never knew I had was...
15:10It's not the easiest thing, is it?
15:13Not too many people understand.
15:15I do.
15:18Isn't it just so lucky that you met me?
15:22Damn lucky.
15:26The Victor part makes sense, because Victoria knows.
15:29How did Victoria frame it when she told you?
15:32I mean, was she trying to warn you?
15:34She told me that they found the emails and that she turned them over to the DA.
15:38I told her that I do not believe that they are legitimate.
15:40You said that to her?
15:41She held the party line.
15:43Of course she did.
15:44She and her daddy were trying to threat me with the emails.
15:48Trying to get me to cave.
15:49Of course I didn't.
15:50Another force in your hand, Phyllis.
15:54The odds don't look good.
15:56I mean, I doubt that Christine is going to look into the legitimacy of the emails.
16:01I mean, she hates me.
16:03Maybe she'll take them at face value.
16:04No, she won't.
16:05She's going to try to bury me.
16:07She's been waiting for this for years.
16:10You're going to fight this, right?
16:13Of course.
16:15Well, for the record, I hope you win.
16:19Are you supporting me, Billy?
16:22I think it's more about not wanting to see Victor win than it is taking her side.
16:26I was watching him go down in flames.
16:27I get it.
16:29I can't go down for this.
16:31I cannot be caught in the middle of this.
16:33You won't.
16:34You won't.
16:36Hey, you talked to the DEA about that.
16:39You have no trouble for me.
16:40Okay, well, Christine might have something else up her sleeve.
16:42As I told you, you're just mentioned in the emails.
16:46There's nothing there to implicate you.
16:48Doesn't mean she won't come after me.
16:50Well, maybe to try to get you to flip on me.
16:52But if she wanted to arrest you, she would have already done it.
16:56These things tend to come in waves.
16:58What about Cain?
17:00Have they got to him yet?
17:03Christine, I have to get to New York.
17:04It's not going to happen.
17:05You're a potential flight risk.
17:06No, I'm not.
17:07Look, I'll sign whatever I have to sign.
17:09I'll do whatever it takes.
17:10Your attorney can make an appeal to the judge,
17:12but I don't think you're going to be able to leave the state.
17:14Oh, my God.
17:15This can't be happening.
17:16No, Billy, it's fine.
17:17All right?
17:17Amanda will post my bail.
17:18I'll get to New York.
17:19I promise you.
17:20I promise you I'll get to New York.
17:30Hey, what's going on?
17:32Did I see what I think I just saw?
17:33Yeah, Cain was just arrested.
17:35Something to do with Phyllis and stealing Newman Enterprises.
17:39That doesn't sound good.
17:41No, and Malcolm just started his treatment.
17:42He could be ready to go in as little as a week.
17:44Okay, that means everything's on track.
17:46No, Nate.
17:47Cain is the donor.
17:48And Christine said the judge might not let him leave the state,
17:51and he could be denied bail.
17:53So then, like, where does that leave us?
17:55What do we do?
18:04Have you spent more time with Lily?
18:06Yeah, a bit.
18:08Some.
18:08Yeah, she's surprisingly okay.
18:10I thought there would be more tension or resistance from her.
18:15You said you went to dinner?
18:16And it went well.
18:18She was pretty cool about it all.
18:20Would you rather she wasn't?
18:23It would make more sense if she wasn't.
18:27How do you feel, honestly?
18:30You know, it's not as easy for me.
18:33I thought my life was one way,
18:34and then it turns out that it's another completely.
18:37But you know what that's like, so.
18:40Unfortunately, I do.
18:42What was it like for you with your family?
18:47Everyone was pretty open and welcoming.
18:50My little sister Katie struggled.
18:51Took her the longest to warm up to me.
18:54Well, how'd you handle that?
18:56You just gave her some space.
18:59She had been my mom's only daughter her entire life,
19:01and then I showed up out of nowhere,
19:02so it was a lot to process.
19:05I didn't want her to think that I was a replacement
19:07or that she had to like me.
19:10She didn't.
19:12But yeah, she didn't know me,
19:13and she didn't owe me anything.
19:14So I just tried to give her some time,
19:16and eventually she came around.
19:20So I was better now.
19:22Oh yeah, she texts me,
19:23she sends me pictures of outfits,
19:24and asks for my advice,
19:25and it's better than I ever could have hoped for.
19:30She and Johnny actually get back from boarding school soon.
19:32I can't wait.
19:36Well, you deserve that happiness.
19:39I think it took a while
19:40for that to sink in.
19:44It's almost like I wanted to be disliked
19:46because I felt so out of place.
19:49Like the ground had shifted.
19:52Yes.
19:53Because it's wonderful to have a family,
19:56but it's scary because it's new,
19:58so the temptation is to push people away.
20:02The instinct is there.
20:04What's your experience with Katie?
20:06Katie, but I definitely can't say
20:08that I've seen that sort of persistence from Lily,
20:09so I guess I'm in good shape.
20:14Are you worried?
20:16Why would I be?
20:17Does the acceptance feel forced or insincere?
20:22Is that what scares you?
20:24That is exactly what it is.
20:28You know, you know everything.
20:29Of course.
20:30I mean...
20:31You know, it really is too bad
20:33that you can't join me in New York.
20:34I could use your wisdom.
20:36Have it on standby.
20:37I thought we just established I wasn't invited.
20:40Right.
20:41Right.
20:41But maybe it could be.
20:45Just relentless.
20:46You're relentless.
20:51Listen, I don't care what happens to Cain.
20:53He's not my problem anymore.
20:54Phyllis, you're in this together.
20:56No, we're not.
20:56Not anymore.
20:57He's on his own.
20:59Okay, so what's your plan of attack?
21:01Oh.
21:01Legal strategy?
21:02Oh, you want to sit and have tea
21:04and talk about my legal strategy?
21:06I'm asking as a friend.
21:07Oh, as a friend.
21:08Because you care about me so much?
21:10This coming from the man
21:11who walked in here and called me stupid.
21:14You care about me as a friend?
21:16Yeah, sorry about that.
21:16I came on a little strong.
21:17Yes, you did.
21:20I'm starting a new chapter in my life
21:21and I cannot have this derail it.
21:23Billy, what does that mean?
21:25It means that I do not want to get
21:28into the middle of this fight.
21:32All right.
21:33So you're so worried about me?
21:35Is that what you're saying?
21:37Really?
21:38Is this part of your enlightenment journey?
21:40Phyllis Sally is pregnant.
21:43Oh, Billy.
21:44Oh, Billy.
21:45Yes.
21:47Oh.
21:48And it's happening?
21:50Yes.
21:51It's happening.
21:54Wow.
21:55Okay.
21:56Look, I need to be there for her.
21:59I can't let anything get in the way of that.
22:02Look at you, stepping up.
22:04Yeah.
22:05I'm stepping up.
22:08Congratulations, I guess.
22:12All right.
22:14Well.
22:17Like I said, you don't have anything to be worried about.
22:20You're not implicated in any way.
22:22Don't worry about me.
22:23Michael Baldwin is taking my case.
22:27Victor's right-hand man.
22:29My friend forever.
22:31Phyllis.
22:32I have a good case.
22:34The contracts are ironclad
22:36when I took over Newman Enterprises.
22:38and Michael believes that he can prove
22:40that Victor fabricated evidence
22:42and he is Michael Baldwin after all.
22:45You know he's only going to go so far against Victor.
22:48Victor, his daddy, his father figure,
22:50whatever you want to call it.
22:51You know, Diane tried to enlist and help
22:53when Victor went after Jabot and he said no.
22:59If I were you, Billy,
23:01I'd worry about my own potential involvement
23:03and not how I choose to handle Phyllis's case.
23:12I mean, if he's denied bail or can't leave town,
23:15he can't be Malcolm's donor.
23:16Slow down.
23:17Cain doesn't have to be in the same city as Malcolm
23:19to donate his marrow.
23:20I know that, but that was the plan.
23:22That's what I told Stephanie and Malcolm.
23:23Okay, but Cain can do the donation here
23:25in Genoa City if needed.
23:27It happens all the time.
23:28That's why there's a national registry for donations.
23:30I know that, but we were supposed to go
23:32to New York together, okay?
23:34Cain was supposed to be able to leave
23:35at a moment's notice,
23:36and now there's too many variables at play.
23:39I think you're getting ahead of yourself.
23:40Nate, if he can't leave, if he's denied bail,
23:43he can't be a donor at all.
23:46Okay, does Christine know about Malcolm?
23:48No, she doesn't.
23:50Then maybe you should tell her.
23:52Explain the situation.
23:53Make an appeal.
23:54Yeah, I mean, this is life or death.
23:55She has to understand that, right?
23:57Yeah, and if you need backup, I'm here to help.
23:58Okay, I'm going to call Christine.
24:01Okay, you want to call Malcolm, too?
24:02No, no, no, no, no, no.
24:04I do not want to worry him,
24:05because he has to be okay, all right?
24:07He has to be okay.
24:08Like, nothing can get in the way of that.
24:09Yes, come here.
24:16Well, you've been a good sport.
24:21Oh, have I?
24:22Mm-hmm.
24:23You know, I don't want to pressure you into joining.
24:25I know that you're going through a lot
24:27with your own family right now.
24:28Yeah, the timing's a bit tricky.
24:30But it is.
24:31It's just too bad, because
24:34I miss spending time with you.
24:36But I also hate to deny you the opportunity
24:38of traveling with the perfect host.
24:42Is that you?
24:44Well, I do pick the best places to eat.
24:46And then you steal bites of whatever I order.
24:48Well, I like to call that sample and share.
24:51But what else?
24:52I am a stellar tour guide.
24:55Who never looks at the map.
24:57Like, ever.
24:58Okay.
24:59Circuitous routes lead to hidden treasures.
25:02Hmm.
25:03Plus, I also make you laugh,
25:05and I do pay for everything.
25:07Oh, so generous.
25:08Yeah, you shouldn't go to New York.
25:10You would just be miserable.
25:11That sounds awful.
25:12Yeah.
25:16Okay, Christine's on her way.
25:18Great.
25:20Oh, my God.
25:21Why did this have to happen now?
25:23Unfortunately, we're dealing with Cain.
25:25He's not the most reliable person.
25:29And he's selfish.
25:30And it just seems like chaos follows him wherever he goes.
25:34Okay, well, he did agree to get tested.
25:35And he did agree to go through with this.
25:37So, you know, that's an incredibly kind gesture for Malcolm.
25:41Don't you mean for you?
25:43He's not trying to be manipulative, Nate.
25:45Does he want to get close to you?
25:47Show you he's someone you used to love?
25:50I don't care.
25:51I don't care.
25:52He's not just doing this for selfish reasons.
25:54I hope you see that.
25:55He's let you down time and time again.
25:58He almost always has an agenda.
26:00There's a reason he said yes.
26:02Okay, I don't care.
26:03I don't care.
26:04What matters to me is that he's a match and can save Malcolm.
26:06Okay?
26:07That's why I have to get him to New York.
26:11Hi.
26:12Thank you so much for coming back.
26:14Yeah, you said it was important.
26:15I just don't have that much time.
26:16Yeah, this won't take long.
26:18Okay, well, if this is a case for Cain's innocence,
26:21I'm afraid it's a waste.
26:23No, I just want to know how serious these charges are
26:26and how likely it is that it's going to affect his freedom moving forward.
26:33So you've decided to switch sides, Michael?
26:35Or are you going to play both?
26:39I'd like a moment alone with my client.
26:41Please.
26:42I mean, no offense if I do not wish to consult with you about our legal strategy.
26:45I will tell you what I told Phyllis.
26:47I will not be dragged into this any deeper.
26:49Whatever your client and Cain did to acquire Newman Enterprises
26:52had nothing to do with me.
26:55Understood.
26:56Don't even think about throwing me under the bus.
26:59Because I know enough to be dangerous.
27:01And I will hang your client and Cain out to dry without hesitation.
27:08Good luck.
27:21I feel a connection to you.
27:23Maybe more so than anyone in my past.
27:30Even Audra?
27:32Mm.
27:33We're back to her.
27:35Well, she's there lurking.
27:37Always a problem.
27:38I would like to believe that you're telling me the truth.
27:41But, you know, at the same time, I feel like there's more to the story.
27:46This is a theme for us, isn't it?
27:48Next thing I know, you'll see that you'll join me in New York
27:51as long as I tell you the full story of what happened in L.A. with Audra.
27:56Huh.
27:58You were thinking it, weren't you?
27:59It actually hadn't occurred to me until you mentioned it.
28:01But it's an interesting idea.
28:16Hey.
28:17It's the news from the outside world.
28:21Turns out the rumors are true.
28:23Phyllis was arrested yesterday.
28:26Is it too much to ask that you remain behind bars?
28:31She's out on bail.
28:34And I just heard that Cain was arrested, too.
28:37In a very public way at the GCAC.
28:40Well, you're here with me.
28:42That has to be a good thing.
28:43Yeah.
28:44I was a bullet.
28:45So far.
28:48I mean, your name's in the emails, but there's no correspondence directly from you, right?
28:54So that has to work in your favor?
28:56If Christine comes to the door, I'm not at home.
28:58Let's just say that.
28:59At least you can joke about it.
29:00I'm trying to keep things light.
29:02For you or for me?
29:04For all of us.
29:07I really hope Christine can't charge you with anything.
29:11Although I am a little surprised with all the players involved that you weren't incriminated.
29:14I think coming after me, too, was too big of a risk for Victor.
29:19Gratitude to Victor.
29:21It's a really funny feeling.
29:24I think he's focused on his company, and he wants to make Phyllis and Cain pay.
29:28Which means I'm safe.
29:31For now.
29:33What's Mr. Hattie up to?
29:36He's just fishing.
29:37He has concerns.
29:39What's wrong?
29:42Cain's been arrested.
29:48How'd you find out?
29:50Contact at the station.
29:52I cannot believe that Victor's getting away with this.
29:55Arrested doesn't mean indicted, and it definitely doesn't mean convicted.
29:59Yeah, it's fine.
30:01It's not pretty.
30:03Look, we've taken a few hits.
30:04Chin up.
30:05You've got a long fight ahead of us.
30:08What's our strategy?
30:09How are we going to beat this?
30:12I don't file criminal charges unless I have evidence to support them.
30:16I'm sure.
30:17So you feel confident in your case?
30:19Yes.
30:20Phyllis and Cain colluded to steal Newman Enterprises from Victor.
30:24And where's Cain now?
30:25In police custody, he'll be arraigned soon.
30:30This is just the beginning of a long process, isn't it?
30:34Amanda Sinclair is going to be representing Cain.
30:36Maybe you want to reach out to her for details.
30:38Lily didn't ask you here to talk about the case.
30:42Then what'd you want to discuss?
30:44I have a favor.
30:46A big one.
30:55In all seriousness.
30:56Well, that would be a first time for us.
30:58I was just kidding, okay?
31:00I would never try to manipulate you into telling me what happened with you and Audra in L.A.
31:07Especially not to get a trip to New York out of it.
31:11But, you do suspect that there are things I haven't said.
31:13Because you haven't.
31:16Okay, what if I said I would tell you?
31:20What do you mean?
31:21You come to New York with me and I'll tell you what you want to know about L.A.?
31:24Yeah, right.
31:26Why should I believe you?
31:28I mean it.
31:29This time.
31:31Really?
31:34Are you willing to take that chance?
31:39I hope you're right.
31:42I do.
31:43I hope that you can stay safe from all this.
31:47You worried?
31:50And what if Phyllis and Cain can't prove that the emails were fabricated?
31:53Then what?
31:54Are they going to try and bring you down with them?
31:56I mean, they could to try and cut themselves a deal.
31:59That scares me, Billy.
32:01Okay, let's not get caught up in hypotheticals, okay?
32:03Well, you started it.
32:05And I will stop.
32:06I will be calm, cool, and collected.
32:08Hmm.
32:09In an effort to get me to do the same.
32:11Look, I was very clear with Michael and Phyllis to not use me to their advantage.
32:15And I believe that they heard the message.
32:18At the end of the day, I'm in a better position to negotiate than she is.
32:22I just hate that you were referenced in the emails.
32:24Hey.
32:25Let's not stress out about this, okay?
32:26That's a nice thing you need.
32:28You could get arrested, Billy.
32:32Or worse.
32:34As much as Victor would love that, I am not going to prison.
32:38We will be fine.
32:40This is Cain and Phyllis' problem.
32:43Not ours.
32:46This won't be the easiest case to win, especially against Christine.
32:51Oh, please, come on.
32:52Don't remind me of that.
32:53Why don't we pin this on Cain?
32:56I mean, he never paid for Chance's death.
32:59He never took responsibility for it.
33:01Chance is Nina's son.
33:03Nina is Christine's best friend.
33:05That's one angle, for sure.
33:07Christine might want justice.
33:09I think our best strategy is to focus on providing you with a reasonable doubt to your guilt.
33:16That will save us.
33:17Yeah, we have to prove that Victor manufactured the evidence.
33:20Which would be near impossible to do.
33:22For Victor's confidant.
33:24Former confidant.
33:25Michael, are you saying you never heard Victor talk about those emails?
33:29Not once.
33:31Proof is what's important.
33:33What's important is your loyalty to me.
33:35We'll get nowhere if you're not honest.
33:38Honest?
33:39All right.
33:40We're here, Phyllis.
33:42Because you stole Victor's company from him.
33:45That's the last time I want to hear you say that.
33:49Do I make myself clear?
33:53My Uncle Malcolm is sick.
33:56Okay, he has aplastic anemia and he needs a bone marrow transplant.
34:01I'm so sorry.
34:02Is he able to receive care?
34:04Yes.
34:04He's in New York getting treatment to prepare for the transplant.
34:08So there's a donor?
34:09Yes.
34:10It's Cain.
34:11It's Cain.
34:12Okay?
34:13He's the only match that we could find.
34:15That's why I need to know how likely it is that he'll be granted bail.
34:18Ah, that decision would be up to a judge.
34:22I understand.
34:23Okay, just please take what I'm saying into account because Cain needs to be able to leave
34:27town to help Malcolm.
34:28I know.
34:29He's been charged with crimes.
34:30Okay, that's fine.
34:31But maybe have him wear an ankle monitor.
34:33Okay?
34:34Or he can have police escort him around.
34:36I mean, just whatever it will take, please, Christine.
34:39He needs to be able to travel.
34:40Please.
34:41I just don't know if it's possible.
34:44Christine, this is the only way to save my Uncle's life.
34:48So please tell me that you can somehow make this happen.
35:48I just don't know if it's possible.
35:59Join us again for The Young and the Restless.
