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