00:09Oh
00:10Yeah, you
00:12Yeah, well 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
00:57Yo, how are we doing?
00:59I'm nervous
01:01Public speaking. It's not my thing. Don't even worry man. You got this
01:05Hey, you get up there in the narrow screen, man. Just picture everybody in the underwear
01:11So
01:13The answer about what the big guy left behind be patient uncle you'll find out soon enough
01:23Huh home sweet home
01:27It's good to be back, isn't it?
01:30For yet another occasion related to your father's passing. I 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
01:43Well, I know darling it's been going on for decades, but 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
01:55Nonsense
01:56Really? I'm sure a hefty
01:59Inheritance will do something to assuage your disappointment
02:04Well, you have a point and this is not yet another occasion the DiMera family
02:08It's a vitally important one. It is the passing of the torch from one generation to the next
02:15Yes
02:17But is passing on any of this really a good thing?
02:32Ahem
02:34Harold told me there might be critters out here
02:41What'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
02:55Likewise
02:57So tell me what do you know about this codicil he's added to his will?
03:02You don't mind talking in front of her?
03:06No, I don't she's as in the dark as I am
03:09Father
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
03:25Oh
03:26Rosalind 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 you're first B-side the note, sir
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
04:06No, he still wants the questioning about hiring that crackpot Owen Kent
04:11So he just needs to remain hidden for now
04:17Focus 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
04:47I 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 you would get away with revoking my recitation
05:23Because Rachel needs her family right now more than ever
05:27No
05:28You just know everything, don't you?
05:32I know that Rachel is young
05:35And 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, generosity
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
06:07Yet again
06:08You know father, he 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
06:22I know Cook's got quite the spread
06:25You want to check it out?
06:25Sure
06:26You 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
06:53Today 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
07:08And 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
07:47Lamour kidnapped
07:48Asked him to stay on
07:50Until you got over your injuries
07:52Which 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
08:12You'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
08:49What did my brother hold over your head to make you quit?
08:54It's a good thing you've kept Wolf him so we 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
09:22We keep going
09:25Demerus, don't quit
09:29We'll keep experimenting until we're successful
09:34We have a shortage of patients
09:37That'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
10:14Brady 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
10:25So do I
10:27And nothing and no one is more important to me than my daughter
10:33Eat me all you want
10:35But you know damn well that's true
10:39You think you and yours are so much better than me and mine
10:43Don't, don't kid yourself Marlena
10:46Your 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
11:01My daughter Samantha
11:03She was
11:03She was raped
11:06And in spite of that horrific tragedy
11:11Johnny is loved by both of his parents
11:15Maybe
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
11:57Your children
11:58Your 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 to have a child
12:23Put it in your arms and you would pass it off as your own
12:29That was E.J.
12:32And everything he's done
12:35All the lies he's told
12:37All the people that he has hurt
12:40Stem 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
13:01Leo
13:02I do not have time for this
13:04Okay
13:05I have to get back to work
13:07I am warning you though
13:08If you get caught
13:10I cannot bail you out
13:12So stay out of trouble
13:15Of 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
13:53Leaving
13:54Demira
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
14:02I am grateful that you believed in me
14:04But accepting the job it nearly got me killed
14:07Staying on a CEO
14:08It's gonna keep that target on my back
14:10I cannot put my family through that again
14:14I couldn't agree more
14:16Well
14:17Hello Abe
14:18Tony
14:20Good to see you
14:21Good to see you
14:21Bad
14:23So
14:25Where's everybody?
14:27Well they're in the dining room
14:28Shall we join them?
14:57Shall we join them?
14:59I brought father's favorites from the cellar
15:02I'm sure we'll need a heavy pour before this day is over
15:06I will open them to breathe
15:10Thank you Kat for everything you've done for me today
15:15Of course
15:16Is there anything else you need?
15:18No that's it for now but I appreciate that I can always count on you
15:24Rita, glad you can make it
15:27I hope I'm 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'm just gonna grab EJ real quick
15:43And I owe you a ring
15:44For what?
15:46Dinner and I promise you next time we will have dessert
15:51Uh I 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
16:01Very well
16:20As much as I would love to continue down this highway to hell
16:24I need to get to my father's will, Rini
16:27As much as I would love to continue down this highway to hell
16:27I need to get to my father's will, Rini
16:29I'm sure that'll be a circus
16:32Well it's funny I'll be the only living daughter who can show her face without getting arrested
16:42Well this is a safe place
16:47I don't know what's upsetting you
16:49It's my mother
16:53What, Lexi?
16:55What about her?
16:58She's alive
17:00Oh, Marlena
17:03You should come
17:05I mean you were invited after all
17:07So was John
17:09Tempting but I think I'll pass
17:12Aren'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're still afraid to face him on your own
17:45You haven't eaten anything
17:47I can't
17:49Too nervous
17:51You know you're gonna 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 demara business
18:11But she would want you to get your rightful share of the estate
18:17You okay
18:19She's watching
18:21She's watching your son
18:24And she is so proud of the man you've become
18:43I 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?
19:08Oh
19:09Yes, I just
19:11Detest 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 fall off a cruise ship
19:24You know who to blame
19:27Okay
19:34I think we're just about ready
19:37Oh
19:39Hmm
19:41Oh, E.J.
19:43We were horrified to hear
19:44About 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
19:54The young woman
19:54The police haven't
19:56They tried to blow them to smithereens
19:58No
19:58No, they haven't
20:00The reports say that
20:02The poor girl took her own life
20:05Oh, how tragic
20:06Yeah
20:08Indeed
20:27Oh, good to see you
20:28How are you doing?
20:29You as well, Mr. DeMira
20:31I hope you bring Thomas Charlott to visit sometime, sir
20:34Sure
20:34Will do, will do
20:35There, have a seat
20:37Thank 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 it better 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
21:03Could 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
21:22Or perhaps we should just lock the doors
21:24Or tunnels
21:27Oh
21:28You never know what's creeping around down there
21:50You
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
22:10Hinchwetch
22:11Rita
22:11Popped up out of nowhere
22:13And I discovered that she did not
22:14In 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
22:45To the reading of my grandfather's last will and testament
22:51Without further ado
22:54Let's begin
22:57I, Stefano DiMera
22:59Being of sound mind
23:00Know there must be a great deal of skepticism
23:03Among 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
23:19And therefore it is imperative to pass on my legacy to my successors
23:24As you all know
23:25I 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
23:46Based 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 careful
24:09Don't gloat
24:11Kristen
24:12Touche, brother
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, Renee, Stefan, Jake
25:10And 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
25:25The estate includes, among other holdings
25:28The Demir Mansion
25:30Commercial real estate
25:32The Archipelago of Islands
25:36Maison Blanche
25:37And Meliswan
25:38All are held in equal shares by their heirs
25:42And can be sold
25:43But only if there is a unanimous consent
25:46Like that will never happen
25:58Harold
25:59Harold
25:59I'll give it
26:05Let me guess, Father
26:06The other shoe is about to drop
26:13Why would I be stupid enough to spy on my own boss?
26:17Oh, I can think of a number of reasons
26:20Good
26:20You know what?
26:21You do that
26:22You do that
26:23And I don't have time for this
26:23Okay?
26:24But if you get caught down here
26:25You're on your own
26:27Hey, did you ever see the movie
26:28Gotcha?
26:30College kid goes to Paris on vacation
26:32And 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
26:41The wall is still up
26:42So 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
26:49She was also a spy
26:54Dimitri once told me he thought you were ISA
26:57I totally dismissed the idea
26:58But now I'm wondering if maybe he was right
27:01The night of the hospital gala
27:04How a meet cute
27:05Outside of EJ's lab
27:08I thought you caught me trying to uncover EJ's secret
27:12But maybe I caught you
27:13Maybe I gotcha
27:17Ah
27:18Oh my god, it's true
27:20You are ISA
27:25I thought you weren't coming
27:29I changed my mind
27:31Helena
27:32Welcome
27:33Hi
27:35My friend
27:37Please, please, please
27:44It's, uh, it's good to see you, Dr. Evans
27:48You too, Phil
27:54I would like to express my gratitude
27:56To my long-time loyal staff
27:59Rita
28:01Harold
28:02And Dr. Wilhelm Rolf
28:05I encourage you to stay with the family for many years to come
28:08But when you do choose to retire
28:11I 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
28:39My 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, 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
29:59Thank you, Theo
30:03I respectfully
30:04Declined the gift
30:07And the reception
30:16Well
30:17That was
30:19Surprisingly uneventable
30:20Yes, I have to pray
30:21I've got a headache coming on
30:23I'm gonna go lie down
30:25Marlena
30:25Wait
30:26I'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
30:44Among siblings
30:45But I encourage each of you
30:47Including those who have
30:48Been 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
31:00Is now yours
31:01However, it is only
31:02When there is peace
31:04And unity
31:05Among you
31:07That everything I've accomplished
31:08Can truly
31:09Be passed on
31:10From me
31:11To you
31:12To your progeny
31:14Despite the
31:16Vilification of our name
31:18Hold your heads high
31:21Be forever proud
31:22Of who you are
31:26Remember
31:28Demirahs are not born to serve
31:30But born to lead
31:33We do not accept the fate
31:34Others determined for us
31:35We create our own
31:38Go forth and live your lives
31:40As I did
31:41With fearlessness
31:43And vigor
31:45Determination
31:46And might
31:48Increase our prominence
31:49In Salem
31:50And the world
31:51This is not the end
31:53But merely
31:54The beginning
31:56Long live the house
31:58Of Demirah
32:03Pardon me
32:12And that concludes
32:16The
32:16Hola
32:17From me
32:19Am I late?
32:39Gabby, what are you doing here?
32:40I'd like an answer to that as well
32:42This is a private family event
32:46Hmm
32:46And apparently
32:48I'm still part of yours
32:51What the hell does that mean?
32:53Philip just got back
32:55From Alamania
32:55He went to see Yvonne
32:57Dearly departed
32:59Vivian's companion
33:00And they had a little
33:01Heart to heart
33:01Well I'm sure this story
33:03Is utterly fascinating
33:04Why don't you go and tell it
33:05To someone who cares?
33:06Aww
33:06I think everyone
33:08In this room will care
33:09You see
33:10He confessed
33:11That Vivian forged
33:13Stefan's signature
33:13On our divorce papers
33:15Which means that
33:16I'm not his ex-wife
33:18I'm his widow
33:19And therefore
33:21I am entitled
33:22To his share
33:22Of the Demirah estate
33:25Cha-ching
33:37What?
33:39Do you think
33:40That I am in the ISA?
33:43Come on
33:44Oh wait
33:44I wish my life
33:45Was that interesting
33:47It was self-staring
33:48At me like that
33:49Okay listen
33:49When the whole
33:50Clyde Weston thing
33:51Went down
33:52I have to make sure
33:54That my boss
33:55Is not doing
33:56Something illegally
33:56Mark
33:57My brother
33:58Works for him too
33:58And he's on parole
34:00And I have my little brother
34:01To think about
34:01And my sister
34:03I have to protect my family
34:04Yeah yeah yeah yeah
34:05We both know that
34:06EJ is hiding something
34:07Down here
34:08Let's work together
34:09To find out what it is
34:10I happen to know
34:11My way around
34:11These tunnels
34:11Quite well
34:12From when I was
34:13Pretending to be
34:13That tooth fairy
34:15That what?
34:16It's a long story
34:17I'll fill you in later
34:17Right now
34:18Follow me
34:21What was that?
34:23Could be a kid
34:24Looking to exchange
34:24An incisor
34:25For fifty bucks
34:26It could be Sasquatch
34:27Let's go find out
34:29I'll keep them
34:29If we get caught
34:31I will do the talking
34:41Well congratulations Rita
34:42On your inheritance
34:43It was well deserved
34:45Thank you
34:46But as soon as you're still
34:48In our employ
34:49Do you think you could find out
34:51If what Ms. Ananda's claims
34:52Is true?
34:53Honest
34:53Thank you
34:55They simply can't stand
34:57I'm not so sure
34:58Last time
34:59Living in a poison pen
35:00Screwed the Kyriakosis
35:02It could be our time
35:09Bravo Gabby
35:10You are a woman
35:12After my own heart
35:13But even I smell a fraud
35:17I believe you
35:19And as executor
35:20Of Nono's will
35:21I will take your claim seriously
35:24Thank you Sam
35:25Yeah considering your source
35:27Sounds legit to me too
35:32We'll get to the bottom of it
35:34One way or another
35:37Until then
35:38Shall we raise a glass
35:41To father?
35:45Don't mind if I do
35:49Here's to father
35:54Salute
35:56Salute
35:56Salute
35:57Salute
35:58Salute
36:11Salute
