00:09Oh
00:10Yeah, you
00:13Yeah, today's the big day yeah, yeah, I'm gonna be glad when it's over
00:23Welcome welcome welcome everyone
00:28Everyone I would like to welcome you
00:33Hello, Theo, I
00:36Just want to make sure you have everything you need I do
00:40Thanks, good good. Well if anything comes up I will be in the garden
00:48Welcome everyone everyone everyone
00:55Yo
00:57How we doing?
00:59I'm nervous
01:01Public speaking, it's not my thing
01:03Don't even worry man you got this
01:05Now you get up there and the nerves creeping
01:07Just picture everybody in their underwear
01:11So
01:13Any answer about what the big guy left behind?
01:15Be patient uncle
01:17You'll find out soon enough
01:24Home sweet home
01:27It's good to be back isn't it?
01:30For yet another occasion related to your father's passing?
01:34I don't think so
01:36I mean this has got to be the longest farewell tour of all time
01:40Elton John's got nothing on Stefano DiMera
01:43I know darling he's been going on for decades
01:45But I promise you
01:47This will be the very last goodbye
01:50Tom, all I know is that we are missing the Chelsea Flower Show for this
01:54Nonsense
01:56Really?
01:57I'm sure a hefty inheritance will do something to assuage your disappointment
02:03Well you have a point
02:05And this is not yet another occasion in the DiMera family
02:08It's a vitally important one
02:10It is the passing of the torch from one generation to the next
02:14Yes
02:17But is passing on any of this really a good thing?
02:32Ahem
02:34Harold told me there might be critters out here
02:40What'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
02:55Likewise
02:57So tell me
02:58What do you know about this codicil he's added to his will?
03:03You don't mind talking in front of her?
03:06No, I don't
03:07She's as in the dark as I am
03:09Father
03:10Father
03:10Grew up that codicil well after the last time I saw him
03:14The only person who knows anything about that time is Dr. Rolf
03:18If you want answers, talk to him
03:21And not you, Reacher, his trusted girlfriend
03:24Oh, Rosalind Russell
03:27Rosalind Russell, I am not
03:28And I certainly wasn't working with Cary Grant
03:32But on a note of pure self-interest
03:35Here's hoping the good doctor didn't persuade your father to leave everything to him
03:40I'm hoping to cash out and retire to Boca
03:42Boca, huh?
03:44Oh, you'll be running that place before your first B-side Binoza
03:49I don't run places, I elevate them
03:53That you do with flair
03:57And now back on topic
04:00Oh, I take it Dr. Rolf won't be making an appearance at the reading?
04:04Oh, heavens no, no
04:06He still wants the questioning about hiring that crackpot Owen Kent
04:11So he just needs to remain hidden for now
04:16Focus on Lexi's recovery
04:31Oh, boy, must be my lucky day
04:34I was thinking the same thing
04:37I just came from seeing Rachel
04:40She was so pleased that I was there
04:43Well, she wouldn't have been if she knew what you did
04:46I love my granddaughter with all my heart
04:51How dare you try to keep me from her?
05:02Like sand through the hourglass
05:05So are the days of our lives
05:18You couldn't possibly have thought that she would get away with revoking my visitation
05:23Because Rachel needs her family right now more than ever
05:27No, you just know everything, don't you?
05:32I know that Rachel is young
05:34And she's developing the tools to be able to decipher right from wrong
05:41It's always good versus evil with you
05:44I mean, just a simplistic way to see the world
05:48You know, I'm really hoping that she inherits
05:52Her father
05:53And John's kindness
05:57Gentleness
05:57Generosity
05:58And not all the evil that runs in your side of the family
06:04Well, I'm sorry we had to meet like this
06:06Yet again
06:07And you know father
06:09He loves to make his family uncomfortable
06:12More like squirm
06:15So before the festivities get underway
06:17I was hoping to have a word with Thea in private
06:19So if you and Anna don't mind
06:22Of course
06:23I heard Cook's got quite the spread
06:25You wanna check it out?
06:25Sure, you lead the way
06:27And then I will dash off and freshen up upstairs
06:34Now that it's just us
06:38I'd like to know why
06:40You decided
06:42To resign from Gamera
06:49What are you doing here, Leo?
06:51Bird watching?
06:53Here, today of all days
06:55I, like you, am a multitasker
06:57And since you failed to score me an invite to Stefano's will reading
07:00I invited myself to watch birds
07:02Amongst other things from a respectful remove
07:05You are trespassing
07:06Please, I work for Chadwick and by tomorrow he may own this joint
07:09Oh, so Chad told you he could be here
07:12Well, I would have asked him
07:13But I didn't want to put him in an awkward position with the family
07:15Trust me, he'd be totally cool with it
07:17I highly doubt that
07:18Chad does not want you airing his family's dirty laundry
07:22Will there be dirty laundry?
07:23Look, Chad's got enough going on
07:26He doesn't need you causing trouble
07:30So interesting
07:31What?
07:33How you seem more concerned with protecting my boss than your own
07:42Johnny took control of Gamera out of necessity
07:47Lamu kidnapped, asked him to stay on
07:50Until you got over your injuries, which you have
07:53Now, I really would like to know
07:56Why did you decide not to return?
07:59I told you on the phone
08:01Yeah, I know
08:01The CEO wasn't your position
08:04But now that we're face to face
08:06I'd like to have a bit more of an explanation
08:11Yeah, you've been doing a wonderful job
08:15Everyone was impressed with your leadership
08:20Johnny's doing fine
08:21Johnny's doing fine?
08:24Johnny's got us embroiled in a lawsuit with Titan
08:27Well, I don't think it's entirely his fault
08:29Look, if I wanted Johnny to be the CEO
08:31I would have offered him the position in the first place
08:34That's what his father wanted
08:35For his son to run the company
08:37And now...
08:40He's gotten his wish
08:42Since you've stepped down
08:46Tell me
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
08:56So 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
09:17And we're left with a product that can't be sold?
09:22We keep going
09:25Demiris, don't quit
09:29We'll keep experimenting until we're successful
09:34We have a shortage of patients
09:36That's for sure
09:44Yes?
09:48I see
09:51Thank you for letting me know
09:54What is it?
09:56Our contact at the airport says a charter plane has landed in Salem
10:01Down from Alemania
10:03Thank you
10:15Brady and John?
10:17Please, they're not exactly saints
10:19I know they're flawed
10:22But they do have Rachel's best interest at heart
10:24So do I
10:26And nothing and no one is more important to me than my daughter
10:33Eat me all you want
10:34But you know damn well that's true
10:39You think you and yours are so much better than me and mine
10:43Don't kid yourself, Marlena
10:45Your family tree has quite a few bad apples on it as well
10:53After Rachel was conceived
10:56It was out of love
10:58Unlike Johnny
11:00My daughter Samantha
11:02She was
11:03She was raped
11:06And in spite of that horrific tragedy
11:11Johnny is loved
11:12By both of his parents
11:15Maybe
11:16Maybe
11:18You think my daughter
11:21Deserves to be locked up in a mental institution
11:25What about Johnny, Marlena?
11:27What about him?
11:29I mean, after he learned of his not so immaculate conception
11:35He found a gun and nearly shot E.J. too
11:40Well, that was
11:42Could have been a terrible tragedy
11:46Come on, Marlena
11:49You loathe E.J. just as much as I do
11:52I mean
11:54He hurt everyone you care about
11:56Your 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
12:18Stefano paid Susan
12:20To have a child
12:23Put it in your arms
12:24And you would pass it off as your own
12:29That was E.J.
12:32And everything he's done
12:34All the lies he's told
12:37All the people that he has hurt
12:40Stem directly
12:41From you
12:45Are we done?
12:47I think we are
12:50I will never understand
12:52What my father or John saw in you
13:01Leo?
13:02Leo?
13:02I do not have time for this
13:04Okay?
13:05I have to get back to work
13:06I am warning you though
13:08If you get caught
13:10I cannot bail you out
13:12So stay out of trouble
13:15What?
13:16Of 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
13:55It was my decision
13:56You remember how reluctant I was to take the job
14:00But you ultimately said yes
14:01Uncle Tony, I am grateful that you believed in me
14:04But accepting the job it nearly got me killed
14:07Staying on a CEO is going to keep that target on my back
14:09I cannot put my family through that again
14:14I couldn't agree more
14:16Well
14:17Hello Abe
14:18Tony
14:19Good to see you
14:20Good to see you
14:21Bad
14:24So
14:25Where is everybody?
14:27Well, they are in the dining room
14:28Shall we join them?
14:30Yes
14:59I have brought Father's favourites from the cellar
15:02I am sure we will need a heavy pour before this day is over
15:06I will open them to breed
15:09Oh
15:11Thank you Cat for everything you have done for me today
15:15Of course
15:16Is there anything else you need?
15:18No, that is it for now
15:19But I appreciate that I can always count on you
15:24Rita, glad you could make it
15:27I hope I am dressed appropriately
15:29I went with business professional which sounds redundant
15:33Well, everyone is in the dining room having a bite to eat before we get started
15:36And I will meet you in there
15:37I am just going to grab EJ real quick
15:43And I owe you a ring
15:44For what?
15:46Dinner
15:46And I promise you next time we will have dessert
15:51I should head off into the dining room, would you like to join me?
15:55I have to finish pouring the wine and I have a few more things to finish up before the reception
16:00Very well
16:19As much as I would love to continue down this highway to hell
16:24I need to get to my father's will, really
16:29I am sure that will be a circus
16:32Well, it is funny
16:33I will be the only living daughter who can show her face without getting arrested
16:42Well, this is a safe place
16:45I mean, what is upsetting you?
16:49It is my mother
16:53What?
16:54Lexi?
16:55What about her?
16:58She is alive
16:59Oh, Mylena
17:04You should come
17:05I mean, you were invited after all
17:07So was John
17:10Tempting, but I think I will pass
17:13Aren't you curious about the gift Stefano left you?
17:17No, not in the slightest
17:19I think John would have been
17:24Look at that
17:27My father is dead
17:30And you are still afraid to face him on your own
17:46You haven't eaten anything
17:47I can't
17:50Too nervous
17:52You know you are going to do just fine
17:54And remember, I am always right here with you
17:57You always have been, Dad
18:01Your mother
18:03Is the reason I came today
18:07She didn't want you involved in
18:09The do mere business
18:12But she would want you to get your rightful share of the estate
18:17You okay?
18:19She is watching
18:21She is watching your son
18:24And she is so proud of the man you've become
18:44I see you found your work wife
18:47Hello, Anna
18:49Hello
18:50I was just filling and reading about the wonderful adventures we've had in Morocco
18:54I do love a funky cold Medina
19:06You alright?
19:09Oh, yes, I just detest that woman with a burning passion
19:14She's always had designs on my Tony
19:17I, uh, I did not know that
19:19Yeah, well
19:21If I ever
19:23Fall off a cruise ship
19:24You know who to blame
19:27Okay
19:34I think we are just about ready
19:36Right
19:38Oh
19:39Hmm
19:41Oh, E.J.
19:43We were horrified to hear
19:45About what happened to Johnny
19:46Yeah
19:48So glad he's going to be okay
19:50Yes, thankfully he will be
19:52But they still haven't found
19:53The young woman the police haven't
19:56They tried to blow him to smithereens
19:58No, no they haven't
20:00Oh, the reports say that
20:02The poor girl took her own life
20:05Oh, how tragic
20:06Yeah, indeed
20:10Oh, good to see you, how are you doing?
20:29You as well, Mr. DeMira
20:30I hope you bring Thomas to visit sometime, sir
20:34Will do, will do
20:35There, have a seat
20:36Thank you
20:42Hey
20:44Hey
20:44How's Rachel?
20:47Thank you for asking
20:49No one else in this self-absorbed family has
20:52Thomas has somebody all the time
20:54I'd like to take him to go see her
20:55If that's okay
20:57Chad, that'd be wonderful
21:00Rachel would be so happy to see him
21:02Yeah
21:03Could everyone please take their seats?
21:06We will get started momentarily
21:09Now, we may have an additional guest
21:11It's come to my attention
21:12That a private jet from Alemania
21:14Has touched down here this afternoon
21:16Now, it could be Megan
21:19But it's most likely her son, Dimitri
21:21Or perhaps we should just lock the doors
21:24Or tunnels
21:27Oh, you never know what's creeping around down there
21:31Oh, you never know what's creeping around down there
21:49You!
21:57What are you doing here?
21:59I told you to stay out of trouble
22:00I'm following my bliss
22:01More specifically a lead
22:02Even more specifically that goblin woman
22:04Who scares the living bejesus out of me
22:07Makes sense
22:07After you hightailed it out of the garden
22:10E.J.'s hinge watch
22:11Rita popped up out of nowhere
22:13And I discovered that she did not in fact emerge from the underworld
22:15But from an entrance to these tunnels
22:17Which you should not have used
22:19Oh, yeah?
22:20What's your excuse?
22:21I 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.
22:43I would like to welcome everyone to the reading of my grandfather's last will and testament
22:51Without further ado
22:54Let's begin
22:57I, Stefano DiMera, being of sound mind
23:00Know 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
23:14This will is real
23:15And final
23:18I 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
23:29Happy about that
23:31He explains his decision
23:34As for Theodore
23:36Me
23:38Having seen the fine upstanding man my grandson has become
23:41I believe he will be honest and fair
23:43And not abuse 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
24:02Elvis
24:04I fear you're too much like me
24:06Which makes me both proud and tearful
24:09Don't gloat
24:11Kristen
24:12Touche, Father
24:15Oh
24:15Oh, we all know that he's dead
24:16But why do I get the feeling that he's still here?
24:32And now
24:34On to my estate
24:38It's taking forever
24:39I 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
24:47We'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, René, Stefan, Jake
25:10And Peter
25:11Their apportion will return to the estate to be divided equally among my living heirs
25:18Anyone 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
25:28The Demir Mansion
25:31Commercial Real Estate
25:33The Archipelago of Islands
25:36Maison Blanche
25:37And Meliswan
25:39All are held in equal shares by their heirs
25:42And can be sold, but only if there is a unanimous consent
25:47Like that will never happen
25:58Harold
25:59Harold
25:59Hello Kevin
26:05Let me guess, Father
26:06The 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
26:23But if you get caught down here, you're on your own
26:26Hey, did you ever see the movie Gotcha?
26:30A college kid goes to Paris on vacation and meets this sexy, mysterious woman named Sasha
26:34Pixie 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 EJ's lab
27:08I thought you caught me trying to uncover EJ's secret
27:12But maybe I caught you
27:14Maybe I gotcha
27:18Oh my god, it's true, you are ISA
27:26I thought you weren't coming
27:29I changed my mind
27:32Helena, welcome
27:34Hi, my friend
27:37Please, please, please
27:44It's, uh, it's good to see you, Doctor Evans
27:47You too, Theo
27:54I would like to express my gratitude to my long-time loyal staff
27:59Rita, Harold, and Dr. Wilhelm Rolfe
28:05I encourage you to stay with the family for many years to come
28:08But, when you do choose to retire, I have purchased homes in the cities of your choice
28:15Boca?
28:17Toledo?
28:19I have also established a trust to take care of you
28:22The way you have taken care of us
28:25For all the remaining days of your lives
28:34This brings me to my final request
28:36It is for my worthy opponent
28:40My pupil-turned-adversary
28:42My pawn
28:44John Black
28:46And my queen of the night
28:47Dr. Marlena Evans
29:05For John and Marlena
29:07May our match continue
29:13It's probably a diamond tiara
29:17Marlena
29:18Marlena, you don't have to open it
29:21No
29:23But Stefano 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
30:20Yes, I have to pray
30:21I've got a headache coming on, I'm gonna go lie down
30:25Marlena
30:25Marlena, wait, I'll walk you out
30:30And now
30:31I would like to read some final words from Nona
30:36Of my many achievements
30:38None was greater than my children
30:41As in every family
30:42There will be disagreements among siblings
30:45But I encourage each of you
30:47Including those who have been forgotten
30:50Or cast out
30:51To find a way
30:53To move past your grievances
30:55And forgive
30:58All that was once mine is now yours
31:01However, it is only
31:03When there is peace

31:08Can truly be passed on

31:30But born to lead

31:35We create our own

31:41With fearlessness
31:43And vigor
31:45Determination and might
31:48Increase our prominence in Salem
