01:54this nonsense really i'm sure a hefty inheritance will do something to assuage your disappointment
02:03well you have a point and this is not yet another occasion of the dimera family it's a vitally
02:09important one it is the passing of the torch from one generation to the next yes
02:16yes but is passing on any of this really a good thing
02:34ahem harold told me there might be critters out here
02:41what's new kitty cat
02:46thank you for meeting me before the reading
02:50i'm honored to have been invited
02:53you meant a great deal to father likewise
02:57so tell me what do you know about this codicil he's added to his will you don't mind talking in
03:05front
03:05of her no i don't she's as in the dark as i am father grew up that codicil well after
03:12the last time i
03:13saw him well the only person who knows anything about that time is dr rolf if you want answers talk
03:19to him and not you rita his trusted girlfriend rosalyn russell i am not and i certainly wasn't working with
03:30carrie grant but on a note of pure self-interest here's hoping the good doctor didn't persuade your
03:38father to leave everything to him i'm hoping to cash out and retire to boca boca huh you'll be running
03:46that place before your first b-side benosa i don't run places i elevate them that you do with flair
03:56and now back on topic oh i take it dr rolf won't be making an appearance at the reading oh
04:04heavens no no
04:07he still wants the questioning about hiring that crackpot owen kent so he just needs to remain hidden
04:15for now focus on lexi's recovery
04:31oh boy must be my lucky day i was thinking the same thing i just came from seeing rachel
04:40she was so pleased that i was there well she wouldn't have been if she knew what you did
04:47i love my granddaughter with all my heart how dare you try to keep me from her
05:02like sand through the hourglass so are the days of our lives
05:18you couldn't possibly have thought that she would get away with revoking my visitation because
05:24rachel needs her family right now more than ever no you just know everything don't you
05:32i know that rachel is young and she's developing the tools to be able to decipher right from wrong
05:41it's always good versus evil with you i mean just a simplistic way to see the world
05:48you know i'm really hoping that she inherits her father and john's kindness gentleness generosity and
05:58not all the evil that runs in your side of the family well i'm sorry we had to meet like
06:06this
06:07yet again and you know father he loves to make his family uncomfortable more like squirm so before
06:15the festivities get underway i was hoping to have a word with thea in private so if you're an honor
06:21don't
06:21mind of course i heard cook's got quite the spread you want to check it out sure you lead the
06:26way
06:27and then i will dash off and freshen up upstairs now that is just us i'd like to know why
06:39you decided
06:42to resign from gamera
06:49what are you doing here leo bird watching here today of all days
06:55i like you am a multitasker and since you failed to score me an invite to stefano's will reading i
07:00invited myself to watch birds amongst other things from a respectful remove you are trespassing please
07:07i work for chadwick and by tomorrow he may own this joint oh so chad told you you could be
07:11here
07:12well i i would have asked him but i didn't want to put him in an awkward position with the
07:15family trust
07:16me he'd be totally cool with it i highly doubt that chad does not want you airing his family's dirty
07:21laundry will there be dirty laundry look chad's got enough going on he doesn't need you causing trouble
07:30so interesting what how you seem more concerned with protecting my boss than your own
07:43johnny took control of dimera out of necessity
07:47lemma were kidnapped asked him to stay on until you got over your injuries which you have
07:53now i really would like to know why did you decide not to return i told you on the phone
08:01yeah i know
08:01the ceo wasn't your position but now that we're face to face i'd like to have a bit more of
08:07an
08:08explanation
08:11yeah you've been doing a wonderful job everyone was impressed with your leadership
08:20johnny's doing fine johnny's doing fine
08:24johnny's got us embroiled in a lawsuit with titan well i don't think it's entirely his fault look if
08:29i wanted johnny to be the ceo i would have offered him the position in the first place
08:34that's what his father wanted for his son to run the company and now
08:40he's gotten his wish since you've stepped down
08:46tell me
08:49what did my brother hold over your head to make you quit
08:54it's a good thing you've kept well fit so he can monitor lexi
08:59i know he's very concerned that your sister's recovery seems to have plateaued
09:06his optimism that she'll awaken seems to decrease by the day
09:12what happens if this grand investment of yours doesn't pay off as you'd hoped and
09:18we're left with a product that can't be sold we keep going
09:25demiris don't quit
09:29we'll keep experimenting until we're successful
09:34we have a shortage of patients that's for sure
09:44yes
09:49i see thank you for letting me know
09:54what is it our contact at the airport says a charter plane has landed in salem
10:01bound from alimania
10:14brady and john
10:17please they're not exactly saints i know they're flawed
10:22but they do have rachel's best interest at heart
10:25so do i
10:27and nothing and no one is more important to me than my daughter
10:33eat me all you want but you know damn well that's true
10:39you think you and yours are so much better than me and mine don't don't kid yourself marlena
10:45your family tree has quite a few bad apples on it as well
10:53after rachel was conceived it was out of love unlike johnny
11:00daughter samantha she was she was raped
11:06and in spite of that horrific tragedy
11:11johnny is loved by both of his parents maybe
11:18you think my daughter deserves to be locked up in a mental institution
11:25what about johnny marlena what about him
11:27i mean after he learned of his not so immaculate conception
11:35he found a gun and nearly shot ej too
11:40well that was could have been a terrible tragedy
11:46come on marlena you loathe ej just as much as i do
11:54he hurt everyone you care about your children your grandchildren
12:01don't pretend you wouldn't be thrilled if he ceased to exist
12:05he wouldn't exist if it weren't for you
12:10what are you talking about
12:12you were so desperate to hang on to john after your miscarriage that
12:18stephano paid susan to have a child
12:23put it in your arms and you would pass it off as your own
12:29that was ej
12:32and everything he's done all the lies he's told all the people that he has hurt
12:40stemmed directly from you
12:45are we done
12:47i think we are
12:50i will never understand what my father or john saw in you
13:02leo i do not have time for this okay i have to get back to work i am warning you
13:08though
13:08if you get caught i cannot bail you out
13:12so stay out of trouble
13:15what of course
13:41That was close.
13:44I want to end up in Mrs. Doubtfire's purse.
13:47But where did she come from?
13:53Look, leaving the mirror, it was my decision.
13:56You remember how reluctant I was to take the job.
14:00But you ultimately said yes.
14:02Uncle Tony, I am grateful that you believed in me, but accepting the job nearly got me killed.
14:07Staying on a CEO is going to keep that target on my back.
14:10I cannot put my family through that again.
14:14I couldn't agree more.
14:16Well, hello, Abe.
14:19Tony.
14:20Good to see you.
14:21Good to see you.
14:22Bad.

18:01your mother is the reason i came today

18:18okay she's watching she's watching your son
18:24and she is so proud of the man you've become
18:44i see you found your work wife hello anna
18:50i was just feeling and reading about the wonderful adventures we've had in morocco
18:54i do love a funky cold medina
19:02you all right oh yes i just detest that woman with a burning passion she's always had designs on my

19:42oh ej we were horrified to hear about what happened to johnny yeah so glad he's going to be okay
19:50yes thankfully he will be but they still haven't found the young woman the police haven't

20:57chad that'd be wonderful rachel would be so happy to see him
21:03uh could everyone please take their seats we will get started momentarily
21:09now we may have an additional guest it's come to my attention that a private jet from alemania has
21:14touched down here this afternoon now it could be megan but it's most likely her son
21:21to be true or perhaps we should just lock the doors or tunnels
21:27oh you never know what's creeping around down there
21:57what are you doing here i told you to stay out of trouble
22:00I'm following my bliss, more specifically a lead, even more specifically that goblin woman who's scarce for living but Jesus
22:05out of me.
22:07Makes sense.
22:08After you hightailed it out of the garden, E.J.'s Hinchwetch, Rita, popped up out of nowhere,
22:13and I discovered that she did not, in fact, emerge from the underworld, but from an entrance to these tunnels.
22:17Which you should not have used.
22:19Oh, yeah?
22:20What's your excuse?
22:22I was getting wine for the gathering upstairs.
22:26I don't think so, kitty cat.
22:28I think you're here for the same reason I am.
22:31Just by Aunt E.J.
22:42I would like to welcome everyone to the reading of my grandfather's last will and testament.
22:51Without further ado, let's begin.
22:57I, Stefano DiMera, being of sound mind, know there must be a great deal of skepticism among those assembled today.
23:06How, you ask?
23:07Is this will reading going to be different from every other?
23:11The answer is, this will is real.
23:16And final, I am gone, and therefore it is imperative to pass on my legacy to my successors.
23:24As you all know, I was named executor of No-No's estate.
23:27Not everybody's happy about that.
23:31He explains his decision.
23:34As for Theodore?
23:36Me.
23:38Having seen the fine, upstanding man my grandson has become, I believe he will be honest and fair and not
23:44abuse his power as executor based on self-interest or vengeful feelings towards his siblings.
23:50That's ridiculous.
23:51No, it's not.
23:54That wasn't me saying that.
23:56It's in the text here.
23:59Father knew exactly what to say.
24:03Elvis, I fear you're too much like me, which makes me both proud and tearful.
24:09Don't gloat, Kristen.
24:12Touché, Father.
24:15Oh, we all know that he's dead, but why do I get the feeling that he's still here?
24:32And now, on to my estate.
24:38It's taking forever.
24:40I mean, maybe this is Stefano's last trick.
24:42Making us sit here and listen to this until the end of time.
24:46Oh, don't worry, lovey.
24:48We'll be going to London for that flower show before you even know it.
24:54My estate will be equally divided among my offspring.
24:58The inheritance of anyone who is deceased shall go to their beneficiaries.
25:03If there are no beneficiaries, as is the case for Andre, Renée, Stefan, Jake, and Peter,
25:11their apportion will return to the estate to be divided equally among my living heirs.
25:17Anyone who has not laid claim in a timely manner shall forfeit their right to inherit.
25:23In addition to my vast wealth, the estate includes, among other holdings, the Demir mansion, commercial real estate,
25:33the archipelago of islands, Maison Blanche, and Melliswan.
25:38All are held in equal shares by their heirs and can be sold, but only if there is a unanimous
25:46consent.
25:47Like that will never happen.
25:58Harold, I'll give him.
26:05Let me guess, Father, the other shoe is about to drop.
26:14Why would I be stupid enough to spy on my own boss?
26:17Oh, I can think of a number of reasons.
26:20Good. You know what? You do that.
26:22You do that, and I don't have time for this, okay?
26:24But if you get caught down here, you're on your own.
26:27Hey, did you ever see the movie Gotcha?
26:30College kid goes to Paris on vacation and meets this sexy, mysterious woman named Sasha.
26:35Pixie haircut and alluring Czechoslovenian accent.
26:37Anyway, she seduces him to go in with her to East Berlin.
26:40Now, this is the mid-80s. The wall is still up, so it's a very dangerous trip.
26:44Why are you telling me this?
26:46Because, see, Sasha wasn't just a sexy and mysterious woman.
26:50She was also a spy.
26:54Dimitri once told me he thought you were ISA.
26:57I totally dismissed the idea, but now I'm wondering if maybe he was right.
27:01The night of the hospital gala.
27:04How a meet-cute outside of E.J.'s lab.
27:08I thought you caught me trying to uncover E.J.'s secret, but maybe I caught you.
27:14Maybe I gotcha.
27:17Ah, oh my God, it's true. You are ISA.
27:25I-I thought you weren't coming.
27:28I changed my mind.
27:32Helena.
27:33Welcome.
27:34Hi, my friend.
27:37Please, please, please.
27:44It's, uh, it's good to see you, Dr. Evans.
27:48You too, Theo.
27:54I would like to express my gratitude to my long-time loyal staff, Rita, Harold, and Dr. Wilhelm Rolfe.
28:05I encourage you to stay with the family for many years to come.
28:09But when you do choose to retire, I have purchased homes in the cities of your choice.
28:16Boca?
28:17Toledo?
28:19I have also established a trust to take care of you the way you have taken care of us for
28:26all the remaining days of your lives.
28:34This brings me to my final request.
28:37It is for my worthy opponent, my pupil-turned-adversary, my pawn, John Black, and my queen of the night,
28:48Dr. Marlena Evans.
29:05For John and Marlena, may our match continue.
29:13It's probably a diamond tiara.
29:17Marlena, you told me you don't have to open it.
29:21No.
29:24Stefano is gone.
29:27His sick game ends here.
29:30And now.
29:50That's it?
29:52A chess game?
29:54Father usually does better than that.
30:00Thank you, Theo.
30:03I respectfully decline the gift.
30:07And the reception.
30:16Well, that was surprisingly uneventful.
30:21Yes, I have to pray.
30:22I've got a headache coming on.
30:23I'm going to go lie down.
30:25Marlena, wait.
30:26I'll walk you out.
30:30And now, I would like to read some final words from Nona.
30:36Of my many achievements, none was greater than my children.
30:41As in every family, there will be disagreements among siblings.
30:45But I encourage each of you, including those who have been forgotten or cast out,
30:52to find a way to move past your grievances and forgive.
30:58All that was once mine is now yours.
31:01However, it is only when there is peace and unity among you that everything I've accomplished
31:08can truly be passed on from me to you to your progeny.
31:15Despite the vilification of our name, hold your heads high.
31:21Be forever proud of who you are.
31:26Remember, Demiris are not born to serve, but born to lead.
31:33We do not accept the fate others determined for us.
31:35We create our own.
31:38Go forth and live your lives as I did.
31:41With fearlessness and vigor, determination and might.
31:48Increase our prominence in Salem and the world.
31:51This is not the end, but merely the beginning.
31:56Long live the house of Demiris.
32:03Pardon me.
32:13And, uh, oh, that concludes the...
32:17Hola!
32:19Am I late?
32:38Gabby, what are you doing here?
32:40I'd like an answer to that as well.
32:42This is a private family event.
32:46Hmm.
32:47And apparently I'm still part of yours.
32:51What the hell does that mean?
32:53Philip just got back from Alamania.
32:56He went to see Yvonne, dearly departed Vivian's companion, and they had a little heart-to-heart.
33:02While I'm sure this story is utterly fascinating, why don't you go and tell it to someone who cares?
33:06Oh, I think everyone in this room will care.
33:10You see, he confessed that Vivian forged Stefan's signature on our divorce papers,
33:15which means that I'm not his ex-wife.
33:18I'm his widow.
33:19And therefore, I am entitled to his share of the Demiris estate.
33:25Cha-ching.
33:37What?
33:39Do you think that I am in the ISA?
33:43Come on.
33:44I wish my life was that interesting.
33:47It was self-staring at me like that.
33:49Okay, listen.
33:49When the whole Clyde Weston thing went down, I have to make sure that my boss is not doing
33:56something illegally.
33:57Mark, my brother, works for him, too.
33:59And he's on parole.
34:00And I have my little brother to think about, and my sister.
34:03I have to protect my family.
34:05Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
34:05We both know that EJ is hiding something down here.
34:08Let's work together to find out what it is.
34:10I happen to know my way around these tunnels quite well from when I was pretending to be
34:13the Tooth Fairy.
34:15That what?
34:16It's a long story.
34:17I'll fill you in later.
34:17Right now, follow me.
34:21What was that?
34:23Could be a kid looking to exchange an incisor for 50 bucks.
34:26It could be Sasquatch.
34:28Let's go find out.
34:29Okay.
34:29If we get caught, I will do the talking.
34:41Well, congratulations, Rita, on your inheritance.
34:44It was well deserved.
34:46But as soon as you're still in our employ, do you think you could find out if what Ms.
34:51Ananda's claims is true?
34:53Honest.
34:55This simply can't stand.
34:57I'm not so sure.
34:58Last time, Vivian in a poison pen screwed the Kyriakos's.
35:02It could be our time.
35:09Bravo, Gabby.
35:11You are a woman after my own heart.
35:14But even I smell a fraud.
35:17I believe you.
35:19And as executor of Nono's will, I will take your claim seriously.
35:24Thank you, Sam.
35:25Yeah, considering your source, it sounds legit to me, too.
35:31Uh, we'll get to the bottom of it, one way or another.
35:37Until then, shall we raise a glass to Father?
35:45Don't mind if I do.
35:48Here's to Father.
35:55Salute.
35:56Salute.
35:56Salute.
35:57Salute.
36:02Salute.
