00:00Handcuffed and hoisted by their own petard, by the king of takedowns, Victor Newman.
00:08Though I bet you tripled your blog's internet traffic with that headline.
00:13I like the mocked-up mugshots of Kane and Phyllis.
00:18It's as good as anything you did as chief editor of Newman Media.
00:21You know, as soon as we get the company back, you will be my first rehire.
00:29Uh, I'm hoping it won't be long before we're back in business.
00:32All right, Spence, yeah. Keep up the good work.
00:38Hey.
00:39Hi.
00:41Connor said I could find you here.
00:43Yeah.
00:45Waiting for my dad to finish up his meeting at the UGA.
00:48Ooh, what kind of meeting?
00:50Christine is interviewing him for the case against Kane and Phyllis.
00:55Right.
00:56So, about that, um, I know you told me they're being charged with using the AI program to steal Newman.
01:03That's right.
01:04You never mentioned anything about Billy.
01:07What about him?
01:09Well, his name is in those emails because of his connection to Chancellor.
01:14It makes sense that it would be.
01:16So, is Billy going to get arrested, too?
01:20Was that a part of Victor's plan?
01:22Yeah.
01:27West Coast Guardist.
01:28You'reTeanc estou.
01:32by going to get arrested.
01:33Go.
01:35Go.
01:42Go.
01:51Go.
01:51Go.
01:52Go.
01:52Go.
01:53Go.
01:59Hey, I know I've already left you one message, Grandpa, and I don't mean to bug you.
02:04I know you've got a million things on your plate trying to get the company back, but
02:09I'd really appreciate any update you can give me on your team search for Matt in Vegas,
02:15seeing as a nervous wreck, thinking there's a possibility that Matt's still alive and
02:19coming for her. Anything that I can say to help ease her mind would help a lot. Thanks.
02:31Hey. Thanks.
02:33Yeah, no problem.
02:35Nice. They're close lately.
02:38You know, I could always tell when something was up with you. What is it, Noah? What's wrong?
02:49Hey, Christian. What's up, dude?
02:52There are probably memories that I have that I would want to forget, but honestly, I don't
03:01remember them, so...
03:03You know what it sounds like? It sounds like you're in the middle of an existential crisis.
03:10Well, if I am, I don't know it.
03:14Well, here's to finding yourself.
03:17Cheers to that.
03:18Yeah.
03:19I mean, it is so weird. I mean, imagine waking up and...
03:25I have to answer this.
03:28Yeah, no problem, man.
03:30I got nowhere to go.
03:33Cause...
03:34I don't even know where I am.
03:42Just...
03:42dealing with some family drama.
03:44Obviously letting it get to me more than I should.
03:46Yeah, well, then you might want to skip the caffeine.
03:49No, I'm actually here to pick up a couple of those Zen Master tea drinks that everyone keeps raving about.
03:53You know, my mom and Sienna have been really stressed out lately, so I'm hoping it'll help calm their nerves.
03:58Yeah, maybe you should pick one up for yourself.
04:01I'm not really sure lavender-gamel blend is really my thing.
04:04Well, I think you'll change your mind once you try it.
04:08Oh.
04:08Here.
04:09I actually came for one of those myself.
04:12It's actually my third.
04:14And I thought I was stressed.
04:16Have a sip.
04:20Oh, yeah.
04:21Well, you're right, that is good.
04:24Huh.
04:25And it helps you chill out.
04:27I mean, usually.
04:28I don't think anything could help calm my nerves today.
04:33What's got you so amped up?
04:36It's not worth going into.
04:38But let's just say I ran into your cousin, Claire, and that never goes well.
04:43Yeah, you two really don't like each other, do you?
04:45Look, I tried to be nice by suggesting we share a table because there weren't any other ones open.
04:52That was nice of you.
04:53Right, but not according to Claire.
04:56And then she proceeded to push every single one of my buttons.
04:59Yeah, and you didn't push any of hers, right?
05:01Maybe one.
05:03Or two.
05:04You know, why is there so much animosity between you two?
05:07I mean, are the stories true?
05:10Were you really trying to come between her and Kyle Abbott?
05:14Uh, where'd you hear that?
05:16Family lore.
05:19You don't really have a thing for Kyle, though, do you?
05:25Do we have to talk about Billy?
05:28So what was part of Victor's plan to target him, too?
05:33Oh, God.
05:36I don't know about it being part of some plan, but it's not like Billy wasn't involved.
05:43From what I hear, he was flip-flopping.
05:45One minute he was aligned with Kane, the next with Phyllis, and all of it was to achieve his endgame
05:49of getting Chancellor back.
05:51Well, flip-flopping or not doesn't mean he had anything to do with their plan to steal the company.
05:59It doesn't mean he's innocent.
06:02Look, maybe Christine agrees with you.
06:05And any guilt that Billy feels is only by association, and it doesn't merit an arrest.
06:11Well, let's say Christine is successful in prosecuting them.
06:13That's going to make her want to delve even deeper into other things that happened.
06:17Like what Billy did in exchange for Chancellor, Adam.
06:21I mean, he could get charged.
06:22Well, then he'll have to face the music.
06:25I just don't want Katie and Johnny to have to see their father get arrested.
06:28Well, then maybe he should have put their needs above his obsession with Chancellor.
06:32I know you don't care what happens to Billy.
06:33You're right.
06:34I don't.
06:35And I only wish that you didn't.
06:42Look, I don't want my niece and nephew, Connor's cousins, to be hurt.
06:49But if something happens and Billy is held accountable for his part in this, that is on Billy and nobody
06:55else.
06:56Just like Cain and Phyllis.
06:59Phyllis is really going to the mat for this, huh?
07:02I mean, she and Cain are entitled to their day in court.
07:06But unfortunately for them, justice delayed is not going to result in justice denied.
07:10In the end, they will go to prison and we'll get back what they stole from us.
07:16Is anyone worried if this court case drags on the kind of damage Phyllis could do to the company through
07:22incompetence, hubris, sheer spite?
07:26Yeah, we're aware of that possibility and we're taking steps to limit any potential damage.
07:31The hope is, although Phyllis is all in right now, once she gets a clear picture of how strong this
07:36case is against her,
07:38she'll see that she has a losing hand and she'll just fold.
07:43What?
07:44You don't think the evidence against her is strong enough to make her cave?
07:48Do you?
07:50I have to assume Victor found this evidence, so it could be legit or it could be planted.
07:56If it's planted and not comes out, whoever presented it to the DA should be worried.
08:02Because this premature victory dance could blow up in all the Newman's faces.
08:10Okay.
08:12Okay.
08:13Uh, okay.
08:14Um, I'm sorry.
08:16Don't be.
08:17Yeah, sorry.
08:18Oh.
08:20So, how long have you lived in Genoa City?
08:23Uh, long enough that I can't remember living anywhere else.
08:28Tell me what it's like.
08:29What's it like to live here?
08:31It's really sweet here.
08:34It's really warm and welcoming and magical in so many ways.
08:40It really has a small town feel.
08:44Nice.
08:45Mm-hmm.
08:46Sounds idyllic.
08:47Yeah.
08:48Unless you're on the wrong side of opinion then.
08:51Oh.
08:52Right.
08:52Or you like your privacy.
08:53Yeah.
08:54Mm-hmm.
08:54Well, I mean, gossip is the price you pay for the small town fields.
09:00Yuck.
09:01And everybody here, they all know about each other's business and it's claustrophobic and
09:08they make opinions about you and judgments about you without knowing the facts.
09:16Sounds awful.
09:17I don't think I'd like that at all.
09:18Really?
09:19No.
09:19I would think that you would welcome that kind of interaction.
09:22I'd welcome that?
09:22Really?
09:22Why would you say that?
09:24You're outgoing.
09:25You just seem really outgoing.
09:27I don't know.
09:28Maybe I am.
09:29I have no idea.
09:32I mean, it's easy because I'm in unfamiliar territory.
09:34I'm sorry.
09:35I mean, I think that I would hate it would be unbearable if everybody had all these preconceived
09:42notions about me.
09:45Anyway.
09:46You have to excuse me.
09:48Oh.
09:48Was it something I said?
09:50No, no.
09:50Not at all.
09:51No.
09:51You seem to have your hands full and thank you.
09:56It was really nice to venture here from it.
09:58I appreciate it.
09:59Sure.
09:59I'm going to go explore this magical town of yours.
10:02I hope it helps you find yourself.
10:05Maybe, maybe you will.
10:07A lot.
10:08I hope I like what I find.
10:09Huh.
10:10Um, I, I am Phyllis, by the way.
10:15Yeah, you certainly are.
10:21What did they say?
10:23No, no, no.
10:24Christian, tell me what they asked you.
10:28Look, just, you tell them your family's fine and that they've got nothing to worry about.
10:34If they have any other questions, then, you know, they can come to me or better you
10:39up, we'll send them to your grandpa.
10:40They'll really enjoy that.
10:42Sure.
11:07I heard.
11:15She may be out on bail now, but I am so looking forward to the day when that woman is
11:20taken
11:20out of the courtroom in handcuffs and put behind bars where she belongs.
11:25Yeah, we got into it earlier.
11:27You and Phyllis?
11:28Yeah.
11:29I, uh, I cannot believe how unapologetic she seems.
11:34Well, letting her conscience be her guide has never been Phyllis's strong suit.
11:39I don't think she has a conscience, babe.
11:42Whatever.
11:42Enough about her.
11:43I want to hear about you.
11:45How was your trip to Vegas?
11:46What's the latest on Matt?
11:48I tried to get some details out of Mom, but she seemed so guarded.
11:52I mean, she didn't want to get into anything, really.
11:56She didn't?
11:57No, not about Matt or Vegas or even you.
12:01It was a little unsettling, so I figured I'd come straight to the source.
12:06So fill me in.
12:07What exactly happened in Vegas?
12:11I don't think Christine would charge Kane and Phyllis.
12:15She didn't think the evidence she had against them would hold up in court.
12:18I mean, everybody knows that they conspired to steal Newman Enterprises.
12:23See, that's what I don't get.
12:24So they were smart enough to execute a plan to steal one of the biggest corporations in the world,
12:31yet they were stupid enough to document it.
12:33The idea that they would leave a digital trail just makes absolutely no sense to me.
12:38What's stupid is they would steal my father's life's work and think that they could get away with it.
12:42Well, Billy didn't think that because he wasn't part of the theft.
12:46So we're going to go back to that again.
12:48No, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. It's just if these emails were fabricated,
12:53of course Victor would want to implicate Billy.
12:56And I just I just hope if that's the case, you would intervene.
13:00Why? Because Billy's hands are so clean in all of this?
13:03Billy was offered the company. He was offered Chancellor.
13:06He didn't steal it as much as you don't want to believe that.
13:08And now what are we going to do? Are we going to go back to this old dynamic where you
13:11keep defending Billy and you just accuse me?
13:13No, that's not what I'm doing.
13:14I mean, isn't it though? Didn't you say Billy deserves what's coming to him?
13:19And yet here you are and you're getting worked up about this again.
13:24Great. I don't want to go back to that place.
13:26Everything's going so well with you and me and Connor. I don't want to mess that up by fighting old
13:31battles.
13:31I don't want that either. And I swear to you, I don't know anything about those emails.
13:39In case you haven't noticed, I've been far too busy helping my brother wage war against Matt Clark to think
13:45about Billy Abbott.
13:52I can't believe you would even ask that question.
13:56I'm sorry. I just figured that's why you and Claire were at odds.
13:59Okay, for the record, I never wanted Kyle Abbott. Our connection was purely business.
14:07But of course, because I'm the town pariah, everyone assumed that when little Kyle and Claire broke up, I was
14:14the evil witch who destroyed her sweet little love story.
14:18Did you have anything to do with their breakup?
14:22Well, I mean, maybe indirectly.
14:25Maybe?
14:26Look, it doesn't matter, okay? Whatever the situation is, I'm always labeled a troublemaker.
14:31Yeah, I'm sure you've done nothing for that characterization.
14:34Okay, I might have raised a few eyebrows, okay, now and then, but the depiction of me as an agent
14:41of chaos and deceit has just taken on a life of its own.
14:45I mean, Kyle and I might have been put in a few compromising situations when we worked together, but Claire
14:53has just let her jealousy take over and has been holding a grudge ever since.
14:58Hey, never mind that I just, I want nothing more than to make peace.
15:03Like, for example, today, when I offered to share this table, you'd think she'd appreciate the olive branch, but instead
15:10she just threw it back in my face.
15:12Well, I'm sorry I can't really comment since I don't know both sides, but I am sorry that there's tension
15:18between you two.
15:19Yeah, only because Claire won't let it go.
15:23Like, I swear underneath that sweet exterior, that psycho girl who tried to kill your entire family is alive and
15:31well.
15:33Well, I think this is a good time to place those drink orders.
15:38Look, I'm sorry. Like, I know she's your cousin, but, um, if you want to come back and sit after
15:48you get your drinks, you know, I promise, no more talk of Claire.
15:52How may I do that?
15:54I hope you did.
16:07I can't believe that Kane had the audacity to read me out in public.
16:13He was so mad because he was arrested.
16:15Hey, guess what? I was arrested too, Kane.
16:18Seriously, he forgets that he's the architect of this whole Newman takeover.
16:23Okay, look, I know.
16:24And this is, you know, right on the heels of Nick going off on me about taking over his family's
16:29company again.
16:30Oh, my gosh, I can't believe it.
16:32I did to Newman what Victor's done to everybody on the planet for years.
16:38All right, can you just talk for one second?
16:39I am so tired of people making me out to be the villain.
16:44I am not the villain in this.
16:47I am not.
16:48An opportunity showed itself and I took advantage of it.
16:52That's all I did.
16:53This is on Kane.
16:54He came up with the AI program to take out Newman.
16:58He came up with it.
16:59At least I didn't decimate Newman Enterprises.
17:02At least I didn't do that like Victor did to Arabesque.
17:04Okay, can you just let that go so I can tell you?
17:07I'm gonna let it go.
17:10I don't care what people think about me.
17:12It doesn't matter to me.
17:13We have a company to run.
17:15So let's do that.
17:16We're gonna shoot for the stars, right?
17:19Let's go do a rocket ride.
17:20All right, your turn.
17:22You mean to get a word in or do I?
17:24Yeah, I'm sorry.
17:25Your turn.
17:26Use any cliche you'd like.
17:28I used them all, but you go ahead and go.
17:30I have one.
17:33Houston.
17:34We have a problem.
17:39You know, you already know a lot about what happened in Vegas.
17:41I know that you found out that Matt was working with some woman from Adam's past.
17:48Yeah.
17:48Her name's Reza.
17:50She was his Vegas poker connection.
17:53Smart, tough as nails.
17:55Turns out she was working with Matt.
17:56So she set up a meeting between Matt and Adam, but I showed up instead.
18:00And I guess Matt knew about it and he got the drop on me.
18:05Oh my God.
18:06Why?
18:06Nicholas, did he hurt you?
18:08No.
18:08The worst thing was he got my phone and he used it to trick Sharon and Noah into going
18:16out to Vegas.
18:17He lured them right into a trap he set for them.
18:19Thanks to Adam, we tracked them out to an old abandoned gas station down in the desert
18:24where Matt was keeping them.
18:26Which he blew up.
18:27He thought we were still inside it.
18:29Oh God.
18:31I'm telling you, that man is so evil.
18:33Yeah.
18:34Sienna was involved too.
18:36She followed Matt out there and then she ended up confronting him.
18:39She killed him, right?
18:42You don't know that that happened.
18:44What do you mean?
18:45There's no body, Vic.
18:47Until I see a body, I'm going to assume this psycho is out there still plotting his revenge
18:51against his family.
18:53It's no wonder Mom is so upset.
18:55This nightmare never ends.
18:57Yeah.
18:58There's other reasons for that.
19:02What is it?
19:06I don't want to tell you this.
19:09I don't want you to hear about it from anyone else.
19:11What are you talking about?
19:12I mean, I'm sure I can handle it.
19:14Obviously, you already told Mom and Dad, right?
19:17I told them as soon as I got home.
19:19Did you tell Adam?
19:21He knew he could see what was going on with me in Vegas.
19:26Okay.
19:27Look, Nick.
19:28Now you have to tell me.
19:30I mean, we don't keep anything from each other.
19:33At least, that's what I thought.
19:36I know.
19:42You're my best friend and I don't want to disappoint you.
19:45I want you to know that this is under control and I'm going to be fine.
19:54What?
19:54Under control?
19:55What are you talking about?
20:01I'm addicted to drugs.
20:07I want to believe you, but I'm not stupid.
20:12I know your father wouldn't keep you in the dark about evidence that's suddenly come to light.
20:16Chelsea.
20:27It's Risa.
20:30Maybe she has news about Matt.
20:38How did you know I was just thinking about you?
20:41Yeah, well, maybe that's why we worked so well together.
20:45Have you heard from Matt or about him?
20:51Yeah, well, let me know if you hear from him.
20:56Okay, so tell me, why did you call?
21:04No way.
21:06That is not going to happen.
21:19You know, I thought that you would go along with my positivity. I thought you would just follow suit, you
21:39know?
21:39Because I'm trying to keep it together despite all of the negativity that is being thrown my way, Lauren.
21:48All right.
21:49Well, I wasn't being metaphorical.
21:53I should have said to you that we are having trouble with Houston.
21:58Okay, I'm not following.
22:00Okay, you know that deal that we are set to close with Durden One, the startup company in Texas?
22:06Yeah, yeah, what about it?
22:08It fell through.
22:10Okay.
22:12Fell through.
22:13That's all right.
22:14It's no problem.
22:15You know, it's a momentary hiccup.
22:17We have a lot of irons in the fire.
22:18Well, that may not be the case.
22:21What do you mean what happened?
22:23I thought this morning that at least four other deals that we're putting together have been scrapped.
22:32Okay, so let's do this.
22:34Um, let's get the heads of the companies together and we're going to talk to them about our vision.
22:43I have been calling them.
22:45And you know, it just seems that as our negotiations are heating up, we've been frozen out.
22:55You know what this is.
22:56This has a Newman's written all over it.
23:00You know, I told you, I'm done with Spider.
23:03I only shuffled that deck again to help my brother track down Matt.
23:08What do I say?
23:09Last time we spoke, you were planning on getting out of the racket.
23:13You know, you're going to take that half a mil that we gave you and start fresh.
23:16So, what happened?
23:19Okay, well, good luck with that.
23:22No, I'm not going to change my mind.
23:26Goodbye, Risa.
23:30Someone misses her partner in crime.
23:33Yeah, well, those days are over for me.
23:38Are they?
23:41You just heard me tell her no.
23:43I did.
23:43And now I'd like you to tell me something.
23:47What?
23:48Just how far into your spider role did you have to go with Risa to get information on that?
23:56How'd this happen?
23:58I mean, when did it start?
24:01A car accident.
24:03When you broke your leg.
24:05Yeah.
24:07I went through my pain meds way too quickly.
24:10And I was out of refills.
24:12The doc wouldn't give me anymore.
24:15I didn't know what I was supposed to do.
24:17I didn't think I could make it through one hour, let alone a cold day.
24:24I found some fentanyl.
24:27That Matt had given me when I was out in Los Angeles looking for no one's, you know.
24:34I was in so much pain big.
24:37So you took some?
24:41I thought it was just going to be the one time.
24:45I thought I could control it, you know.
24:47But the way it made me feel.
24:54All the pain was gone.
24:57But it got out of hand pretty quickly.
24:59And Matt had hidden some bad fentanyl in the storeroom he locked me up in.
25:08And he knew if I found it I would take it.
25:12Took advantage of my weakness.
25:15And my addiction.
25:17But I'm the reason that I was hooked.
25:20Nobody forced me to do it.
25:22And I hated having to tell you more than almost anyone.
25:28Why?
25:29Because of what we went through with mom.
25:32And her addiction.
25:33And the toll it took.
25:35We swore that we would never let anything like that ever happen again.
25:40And even though I could see all the signs and pitfalls.
25:43I still let it happen.
25:49I'm so sorry.
25:50The last thing I ever wanted to do was let you down Vic.
25:54That's exactly what I've done.
26:00Call my dad.
26:02I should kill you right here and now.
26:05Do you know who I am?
26:13Whether Victor is behind those deals falling through or not, it's not really our biggest problem.
26:18Our biggest problem is you.
26:22Word is spreading through the company about these charges that you're facing and your arrest.
26:27Despite the evidence being completely fake.
26:30Well, office morale is at an all-time low.
26:34How can morale be low?
26:37I'm doing my best to spread so much positivity to these guys.
26:42Practically whistling in the halls thinking that, you know, it's going to be contagious.
26:47Well, unfortunately, it's not.
26:51You know, first it was the takeover and a lot of aspects of that, you know, was very positive, but
26:57it was still sudden and very disruptive.
26:59That it didn't turn all of our worlds upside down.
27:02Right. But then we had the influx of new hires followed by the exodus of the key division heads.
27:08And now these charges you're facing, bogus or not.
27:13What do you suggest we do?
27:15I know you want to fight for this company.
27:18But I am so worried that things are going to start unraveling even before you get to trial.
27:24And they will continue to unravel whether you win or not in court.
27:32You know, nothing that you could ever do would ever change the fact that I love you with all of
27:38my heart.
27:39This wasn't your fault any more than it was mom's.
27:43You do hear me, don't you?
27:45You believe that's true, right?
27:48Nobody was holding a gun to my head. Nobody forced me to take those pills.
27:52No, you weren't yourself when you took them.
27:55If anything, I mean, if anything, I blame myself.
28:01What are you talking about?
28:02I mean, the more that I think about it, Nicholas, I saw it.
28:05I saw that your behavior was off. I just, I thought it was due to the stress of everything that
28:10you were going through.
28:12Vic, there's no way that I'm letting you take responsibility for that.
28:16It just breaks my heart.
28:18I mean, if only you'd come to me sooner, Nicholas.
28:21Not only could I have helped you, I mean, you wouldn't have had to face this alone.
28:28Well, just know that I'm here for you now.
28:33I'm here for you. I'm not going anywhere.
28:37Okay?
28:40I love you. I appreciate that more than you know.
28:48I love you, too. I love you so much.
28:57I do have one question, though.
29:02Shoot.
29:03You say you have this under control, but what does that mean?
29:07I mean, how...
29:09How can you be certain that she won't relapse?
29:15You don't think something sexual happened between me and Riza?
29:19Of course I don't.
29:20But Riza sure wanted me to believe that.
29:24Our relationship was purely business.
29:28Nothing else.
29:31You believe me, don't you?
29:33Yeah.
29:35Chelsea, you have to know, after everything we have been through this past year, that I would not risk what
29:42we have together.
29:44With Connor.
29:46Not even to help Nick find Matt.
29:48I know that.
29:50It's just...
29:52Just...
29:53Riza implied things were more than just business between the two of you all those years ago.
29:57And you yourself have admitted you don't remember a lot during the time of your life.
30:02Well, I mean, I would remember that.
30:05You know, and why does it even matter now?
30:07Riza's my distant past.
30:10You are my present and my future.
30:14It's funny. That's exactly what I told her.
30:16Well, you would be right.
30:19She just was trying to get under your skin.
30:21Mind games are her business.
30:23It's like second nature for her.
30:24Oh, yeah. I can definitely see that.
30:27It's no wonder she partnered with Matt Clark.
30:29Those two make a perfect pair.
30:33What the hell does that mean? Do I know who you are?
30:35It's just a question, dude.
30:36Now, stop messing with me, you son of a bitch.
30:38I'm not messing with you. I'm not.
30:39What, were you trying to fake amnesia?
30:41For trying to get out of responsibility of what you've done?
30:43Tell me what it is that I've done.
30:46Nobody's gonna believe your BS now.
30:48Here, we all know who you are and what you are, and I'm gonna make sure that you're paid for
30:51hurting my friend.
30:52I have no idea what you're talking about.
30:54Look, she called me Mitch and you're calling me Matt.
30:56Could you just tell me who I am?
30:57Enough with the games, man.
30:59Give me a second.
30:59Just hold on.
31:00Just back up for like one second, okay?
31:02Look, I couldn't get a hold of your dad.
31:04I don't have his number, so I called your grandfather and he screened my call.
31:07Please.
31:08Please.
31:09Just tell me who I am.
31:19It's not like I haven't paid to gain this company.
31:23I lost my kids.
31:25I lost any friend that I had.
31:28I'm shocked that I'm not being burned at the stake.
31:32I mean, that's how people are treating me.
31:39I had to play it that way, Lauren.
31:41I had to do it.
31:43I had to, after everything I've gone through, all the deals that I've been cut out of, all the ways
31:48I've been belittled by people in this town, I had to be cut through.
31:52I wish that my kids understood that.
31:57I wish they didn't see me like the town prior, them and everybody else in this town.
32:03Wow.
32:04Present company excluded.
32:05Present company excluded.
32:06I get it.
32:09You know, when you and Michael and even Victoria, when you, when you ask why I don't cave, I can't,
32:19I can't give up now.
32:22I've come too far.
32:24I can't do it.
32:27Hey, if you want to leave, it's okay.
32:29I really mean that.
32:31You can leave summer's conglomerate.
32:32I get it.
32:33It's too much.
32:36I understand.
32:37I've already lost so much.
32:38Hey, one more friend won't matter.
32:41It won't make a difference.
32:42It's fine.
32:44I'm not going anywhere.
32:47You know, when you first asked me to come on board, I have been ready for this fight with Victor.
32:54And I mean it.
32:56It's not me that I'm worried about.
33:00It's you.
33:01Oh, don't worry about me.
33:03I am good.
33:04I will be fine.
33:05Are you?
33:06Can you really face these charges and hold onto things while they're crumbling?
33:12I mean, that's a lot to take on.
33:16With very little reward.
33:19I mean, I need to know.
33:22Is this going to be too hard for even you to bear?
33:29Are you seriously going to pretend that you haven't been torturing my parents for months?
33:33That you didn't just try to blow us all up back at that Vegas gas station?
33:37And are you seriously so whacked out of your mind that you think you can just come back here and
33:41walk freely in Genoa City like nothing ever happened?
33:44And on top of all of that, you want everyone to believe that you don't remember who you are.
33:48I don't.
33:49Look, I don't know anything about a gas station.
33:51I don't know anything about an explosion.
33:52I have no idea what you're talking about.
33:54Hell you...
33:56Don't look, it's all gone.
33:58It's all...
34:00My memory is just completely wiped.
34:04I'll call the police, Audra.
34:06No...
34:14Are you...
34:17Yeah.
34:20We haven't been able to talk about it much since you got back from Vegas, but I have wondered if
34:25you got caught up in the old life of yours.
34:30Not the racist stuff, just everything else.
34:34I already told you.
34:35You have nothing to worry about.
34:42Saw you holding that deck of cards earlier.
34:50They were lying on the table and I picked them up.
34:54What is the...
34:55I was just saying the way you were shuffling them, smiling as you cut the cards.
34:58I just wonder if maybe you missed the life of Spider more than you're willing to admit.
35:04Risa just asked me if I wanted to come back and I immediately shut her down.
35:09I know.
35:09It's just...
35:11There have been a lot of poker terms in your conversations lately.
35:15And I...
35:17This is crazy.
35:18I'm serious.
35:19Even before when we were talking about Phyllis.
35:21You said she's all in with a losing hand.
35:23She might fold.
35:25Okay, do you want total honesty?
35:27Yeah.
35:31Going back to that life.
35:33That world.
35:35There was a certain rush.
35:38Like there was a spark that was reignited.
35:42So you do miss that.
35:49I would be lying if I said since coming home I haven't had to fight off the lingering desire.
35:57Okay.
35:59Do you learn the truth?
36:01There it is.
36:06I don't want you to worry about that.
36:08Okay?
36:09I'm not going back to that place.
36:10I'm going to stay clean.
36:12Mom's on board.
36:13She's already agreed to act as an unofficial sponsor for me.
36:16Okay.
36:17Okay.
36:18As long as you'll talk to her.
36:20Be open.
36:21I will.
36:23I owe her that.
36:24I owe this whole family.
36:26You owe it to yourself, Nicholas.
36:28That's really the important part.
36:31Yeah.
36:32I'm going to go to rehab.
36:35Sharon found a place for me.
36:37I'm going to get past this.
36:39How can I end up with this incredible family behind me?
36:43You can always count on that.
36:46Just know that if you need me, if you need any help at all, you have to come to me,
36:51okay?
36:51You promise.
36:54I promise.
36:56I love you so much.
36:58So don't shut me out again.
37:01I hope.
37:03Great.
37:12Hey, Noah, what's up?
37:15I just saw him dead.
37:17You saw who?
37:19Matt.
37:20He was here.
37:22What? Where?
37:23Park Cafe.
37:25He claimed he didn't know who he was.
37:26He sucker punched me and then took off, but he's here.
37:29In town.
37:31All right.
37:31You stay there.
37:32I'm on my way.
37:34What? What is that?
37:35Matt's alive.
37:36And he's in General City.
37:49Next week on The Young and the Restless.
37:51Am I hearing you correctly?
37:53You're going to make a deal.
37:54Give up Newman Enterprises to avoid legal repercussions, right?
37:58No, I have something better in mind.
38:00You want to make an accusation, then come with it.
38:08Are you using again?
38:10Nick.
38:10Now, what?
38:15The?
38:21I've told them that he had time to come by.
38:21What did heelaire so hard?
