00:12you want back in for the life you had before i didn't say that yes i feel the pull to
00:22the game
00:22i mean being back in that environment in vegas it just stirred up some adrenaline that's all
00:26you can't just dismiss that feeling not just going to go away that desire it's important
00:33i think we should talk about it what it means it means nothing okay look maybe i just i shouldn't
00:40have said anything at all why because if i talk about it it's only going to make you upset
00:50i want you to be honest with me okay it's fine i think i can handle it it's not like
00:55i'm going
00:55abandon my life and go on the road as a poker player don't make light of this adam we were
01:00both very concerned with you going back to vegas adopting this spider persona again even if it was
01:06for a good reason yes and i'm fine i'm here i'm home and i'm still me yeah but you said
01:13you still
01:13thought about it you're chasing the high again the high stakes the high rewards at the poker table
01:21it's a temptation to which i can resist i just turned down riza's offer to go back you just heard
01:30me do that i'm not going anywhere was that a no to the game or a no to her you
01:36have nothing to worry
01:38about i heard you the way you were talking to her on the you sounded
01:52there was more intimacy your tone changed chelsea it was just it was the spider persona
01:59yeah well you slip back into it really easily she wants you she wants you back in her life
02:06so what if she does i don't have any interest in having any further contact with her and i don't
02:11want a relationship with her personally or professionally i'm committed to you and to
02:17our son and the life that we have together
02:23and you believe me i appreciate your time victor well christine i cannot begin to tell you how happy
02:30i am that you're back as our district attorney thank you

03:11not going
03:12anywhere i am committed to you and summer's conglomerate thank you i'm committed to summer's
03:19conglomerate as well who cares about victor right well his bullying has to stop but unfortunately the
03:28man never got that memo you know he's amazing to me as if he's the only person on the planet
03:34who's had a rough childhood seriously right i mean he uses his origin story to make himself look like
03:43a hero i mean he has a rap sheet that's longer than mine he's not a hero he's a tyrant
03:49well
03:49he'd probably think that that was a compliment
03:53he probably would
03:56can we use his past crimes against him you mean black i mean you know reminders
04:04his past transgressions and against him yeah that go over well yeah i mean did michael
04:10ever tell you anything about him about victor yeah anything at all maybe in passing
04:17um something sinister something clandestine please don't answer that question i was having
04:26a private conversation just now you were trolling for privileged information from my wife i was
04:32talking to my business partner i was talking to her about work nice try generally the transmission
04:39of said information could be considered a violation of attorney-client privilege not to mention the trust
04:46upon which our marriage is built he tells me nothing well some men offer their wives jewelry
04:56i offer plausible deniability thank god you give me jewelry as well no you deserve everything my dear
05:05okay this is sweet it's very sweet it's cutting into my billable hours meeting is in session
05:14all right what's my defense strategy well since we last spoke i have been given
05:21complete unredacted copies of the email evidence i have combed through them thoroughly i've completed
05:27my review and and uh along with my assessment i had the email evidence examined by a digital forensic
05:38expert and the hope that it would help our case okay and what happened the expert concluded
05:51that by all appearances the evidence is authentic
05:58are you kidding me wait wait a second these emails look real which means which means i'm screwed
06:08that's what it means
06:10are you
06:14are you
06:21are you
06:22are you
06:26are you
06:33are you
06:34are you
06:35are you
06:37are you
06:54yes even on a monitored call so happy to know that you're doing well and you like your team
07:01you feel good about your care you sound upbeat well what i mean to say is you sound hopeful
07:13you know i'm really thankful that you're willing to check in with me and let me know how you're
07:19doing i am going to see aria this weekend and i will give her a big hug from you of
07:26course
07:29i miss you too
07:32i love you so much maria i think about you every day
07:41okay talk to you later
07:51i'm glad you're home mom or sienna ship stairs i'm here is everything okay
07:57sienna's instincts were right that's alive he's in genoa city
08:09i understand how anxious you are to regain control of newman enterprises
08:13it's very important to our family yeah but i just don't think that the case against phyllis is hard
08:20to prove i mean she has my company she sold it and the emails between her and kane ashby
08:27proved that she intended to do so which essentially is a full confession i mean the evidence speaks for
08:33itself well there's some strong evidence but there are extenuating circumstances this
08:39falls under the category of cyber crimes and the laws around ai are constantly evolving
08:46there are other issues what's that there's a lot of bad blood between the parties
08:52extensive negative history between the newmans and kane and phyllis this has to be done by the
08:58book in order to prove that phyllis was undeniably in the wrong facts not emotions will win the day
09:04and they will and there's the long-standing animosity between phyllis and me i have to make sure that
09:11they won't hold that against me when i present the case and victor i need you to understand that in
09:16spite of my feelings about phyllis they won't sway me i will treat this case like i would any other
09:23i will follow the facts seek the truth and uphold the law i appreciate that christine and i know you
09:30will
09:31i just want to be clear thank you for your time let me take you to the door and again
09:37thank you for
09:38coming by have a nice day
09:44that's a smart move you go to christine although i will say going by the book it might take a
09:52little
09:52time well i think the wheels of justice will turn our way and while we wait we watch phyllis summers
10:06unravel
10:09and i'll enjoy a spectacle
10:15okay well this is definitely not good news not what we hope for there has to be another way forward
10:25okay so um this expert do they really know ai very well
10:34and why did they conclude that the emails are real
10:38well for starters the emails appear to have been generated from within chancellor
10:43when you were still in control of the company but they weren't they look like they were sent from
10:49your email account which is password protected with a secure server and a private ip address that never
10:57happened it never happened michael the language in your emails mimics your personal style of course it does
11:06because that's what ai does yeah if that's the case wait wait a second wait a second
11:13what do you mean if that's the case if that's the case ai did a damn good job
11:19by by making it look like i actually wrote those emails my god i am screwed wait a minute there
11:29has to be
11:30a way to prove that it's a lie that the emails are not authentic what about another forensics expert
11:39i thought about that too but there's a problem actually a series of problems okay well what are the
11:45problems well first if we have the evidence examined by multiple experts and they arrive at the same
11:52conclusion you mean that the emails appear real yeah hurts us hurts our case yeah yeah michael honestly
12:00i think it's a risk that we should take we just need one expert to contest the authenticity of the
12:08emails yeah well here's the other issue um even if we find a team that can reveal the emails were
12:16all
12:17created by artificial intelligence software we would have to show that proof in court
12:26okay where's the problem well the prosecution can use the same experts to prove that you stole
12:37newman enterprises from victor also using ai right right right victor's using the same thing i used
12:49against him to take me down matt is here in town you saw him i did i had a terrible
12:58feeling well at least
13:00you know now that you weren't responsible for his death yeah you know it made me sick to think that
13:05that i had killed someone but just the way that that he and i thought it was so ugly and
13:11i still
13:11wake up in a cold sweat about it but you know now now that we are sure that he is
13:18alive i wish i
13:18had finished the job when i had the chance we just can't get rid of him can we we will
13:23this time
13:24how did you find out he's back well i was at the park cafe picking up some drinks for us
13:29so when i
13:30came outside he was there in broad daylight yeah he didn't seem too concerned about keeping a low
13:35profile that makes no sense you'd think he'd be more cautious okay was he waiting for you it didn't
13:41seem like it so what did you do when you saw him did you confront him did you call the
13:46police i went
13:46after him and audrey was there so i told her to call the cops audrey was there yeah i ran
13:51throughout the
13:51cafe but before she could make the call he punched me and took off wait he hit you are you
13:58okay do you
13:58need to be checked out i'm fine i promise so have the police been contacted should we call them now
14:06you know i can always reach out to james no no no let's hold off on that all right i
14:10trust burrow
14:11but i prefer the newman security team track matt down then we can deal with this ourselves
14:16nicholas let's just say the cops find matt he's already skirted the legal system once that cannot
14:23happen again yeah and he's on our turf now he couldn't have gotten far i cannot allow him to
14:28escape again i'll deal with this bastard myself
14:35i still don't understand why would matt show his face in genoa city after he held us hostage in vegas
14:43what what what happened when you saw him did he threaten you apparently he was pretending that he
14:49wasn't matt clark what yeah i got in his face and he acted like he didn't know who he was
14:55he said he
14:55didn't remember any explosion in vegas or what he's put our family through that's bizarre okay what about
15:02audrey did he seem to recognize her no no no uh audrey said afterwards he seemed excited that she
15:09recognized him but upset that she seemed afraid of him i don't know it happened so fast and it was
15:14right before i saw him although what did you think of his behavior he didn't seem entirely like himself
15:21i mean he asked me if i knew who he was and he seemed pretty desperate
15:25how do you think he benefits by pretending like he doesn't know who he really is
15:31what if he's not pretending you seem confident yeah well i simply relate the facts to christine
15:43well i'm sure she appreciated you turned over the evidence to the authorities right away
15:48okay yep you know phyllis and k nashby are prone to reckless behavior
16:05if they think for one minute they can get away with stealing from me
16:13they have another thing coming
16:17i was just telling chelsea the same thing and i was telling adam i don't think kane and phyllis would
16:23be that stupid to commit a crime over email leaving a digital trail anyone could find guess you're just
16:29gonna have to ask them about their action you know i think i'd rather ask victor did they leave a
16:35trail
16:36or were these emails fabricated and if so did either one of you have something to do with it
16:46victor is a bastard he's trying to squeeze me out he knows what you did i didn't do anything i
16:55didn't
16:55steal anything and victor never planted evidence against except he did michael well now you have
17:02ownership of his company which kind of verifies the emails you see the dilemma there one thing
17:09cancels the other one out okay whose side are you on well yours of course but if we want to
17:14win we
17:15need to see the big picture you and kane had total access to victor's ai software when you targeted
17:23newman enterprises keep your voice down please oh wait a minute wait a minute what if victor
17:31used a page of the same playbook and used an ai program of his own to implicate phyllis right what
17:38do you think of that michael i think we're at a standoff that's pretty clear to me yes we are
17:44and victor is lashing out now he's flailing and here you are oh sidestepping just to placate victor
17:54i'm letting you know the facts as your attorney that's my job to let you know what you're up against
17:59okay well then tell me what my defense is please
18:06what about this
18:09what if we had a an audio recording of victor confessing no no why not it's legal he would
18:20never admit to doing it he would not admit to anyone but you not while i'm acting as your attorney
18:25okay
18:26how about you're not my attorney anymore because you're coming really really close okay why don't
18:31we play nice proving victor's guilt does not prove your innocence that is bull and you know it that is
18:37bull he fabricated that evidence then he gave it to his little weaselly daughter and she handed it to
18:44the da on a silver platter lying to an officer of the court is a felony you used fake documents
18:52to
18:52justify a coup also a felony michael seriously are you my lawyer do you want to protect me
19:01or you're just trying to sabotage this case
19:10look i have a hard time believing that anything matt does is sincere i just don't know if i think
19:15this
19:15memory loss thing is real okay when we fought i bashed him in the head with a rock so hard
19:22that i
19:22thought i killed him look there was blood everywhere he was out cold and a severe head injury with
19:30lasting consequences it is definitely a possibility if there was sustained trauma and would that really
19:38cause amnesia it's hard to say when audra said that matt seemed confused i just assumed that she fell
19:46for another one of this games she doesn't know matt like we do okay but she knew she knew mitch
19:51right
19:52and he was always confident he was always sure of himself and she thought he was off maybe audra
19:58picked up on something i didn't see i don't know i was just so furious when i saw him i
20:02just wanted to
20:02pummel the guy look it doesn't matter it doesn't matter if this is real or fake this this bastard is
20:09going down nick are you okay yeah can we get you anything then i'm fine i'm fine i just i
20:17need some
20:17air this can't be good for dad all this tension especially given what he's dealing with just give
20:30him some time to cool down we're all very frustrated by matt and no one feels that more than your
20:36father
20:40uh keep it together
20:46keep it together look phyllis michael really wants to help you yeah i get no thanks just accusations
21:00but i do want you to know that i am committed to this case both as your friend and your
21:06lawyer i serve
21:08your best interests not victor's okay really really prove it come up with a better strategy or i'll
21:17find someone who will michael this isn't as easy as you seem to think you know what i'm gonna give
21:22you
21:22a week i'm gonna give you a week to come up with a better plan if you don't if you
21:29don't i will walk
21:30who is gonna represent you if i don't why are we even working together because i'm all you have
21:38christine and victor will bury you if you're not careful this case is that close to being unwinnable
21:46okay if that's what you think why are we talking right now because i am going to protect you from
21:53yourself and i'm the only lawyer crazy enough to accomplish that you know as phyllis's attorney i'm
22:06sure that michael baldwin will hire some expert to authenticate the emails i believe that to be true
22:14but that's not what i asked you what did you ask me if these emails aren't real and someone in
22:21this
22:21family knew they weren't real when they were handed to the da that puts us in serious legal jeopardy
22:28we don't have to worry about that
22:31i i disagree victor and i i know this is a sore subject but if nikki was here i think
22:37that she
22:37would disagree as well i don't think that we should go there chelsea the authenticity of these
22:43emails is irrelevant okay so if it looks real then that makes it real if we're going off that logic
22:50then we shouldn't care about the documents that phyllis and kane used to obtain newman enterprises in
22:56the first place because those were bogus those were ai generated and we have to get back what they stole
23:00by any means necessary you bet i agree phyllis needs to give back what she stole and and
23:07both of them they should pay for their crimes yeah so should billy that's different
23:12mm-hmm it's not different there's no need for you to defend billy boy abbott i'm not victor i'm
23:18fighting for us i'm fighting for this family i don't want us to take things too far with we can't
23:23come
23:24back from so what's going on noah ran into matt clark at the park they got into it that son
23:32of a
23:32bitch is still alive he got away but he is back in genoa city dad we have to find him
23:39i need your help
23:51you know i actually agree with michael i mean even if we prove that these emails were fabricated by ai
23:59it actually it opens the door to a charge that you used a similar program to forge the contracts
24:07to gain control of newman enterprises no victor sold newman enterprises to me for the right price
24:15that's what the evidence shows and that evidence was also ai generated and that fabrication can also
24:22be exposed i'm not confident in my counsel you know maybe we should just cut our losses and make a
24:30deal you cannot be serious right now to save you yes i am give victor the company back in exchange
24:39for
24:40withdrawing the charges no no i'm not fooling to victor all right you know hold on would that work
24:47would negotiating directly with victor work the case is already in christine's hands even if victor
24:53were to ask she might not agree to drop them you really are stuck oh look at this speak of
25:02the devil
25:04oh like the timing victor isn't the only one to be swayed excuse me where are you going where am
25:13i
25:13going i'm gonna have a little chat with our new d.a okay here you go thanks mom yeah the
25:27zen master tease
25:28i was picking up for us at the cafe got lost all the craziness with matt i'm just relieved you
25:33were
25:33able to get away from him yeah you landed a pretty good one before you took off i'll get you
25:38some ice no
25:39no no i'm i'm fine seriously i just a little sore
25:45are you all right yeah i'm not the one who got punched
25:50and you had the feeling that matt was going to come back but he's still alive and now it's confirmed
25:56yeah well sharon got me thinking that way you were the one who first suspected that maybe matt hadn't
26:03been killed i've had a lot of experience with him coming back to haunt us i'm so sorry for what
26:10he's put you both through he landed you in the hospital matt has been a menace to every single
26:17person who's known him you know when he was lying there i really really thought that we were all free
26:27of
26:27him that there was no way he could ever hurt any of us again you know this whole memory loss
26:33thing you
26:33really think that this is just some ploy of his well maybe that's the point for us to all go
26:41out of
26:42our minds trying to guess everything is a manipulation yeah but that that is a big big risk
26:50for him to take confronting you like that in public yeah i was really caught off guard and if i
26:55got my
26:55bearings back sooner i would have stopped him you know made sure the police got there first better
27:00that you're safe yeah and really far away from him he's still out there i had my chance and i
27:10blew it
27:11we will take care of this now your father went to talk to victor for that exact reason matt won't
27:18leave
27:19this family for long right what we're dealing with it now thank you why the hell would matt talk go
27:29after noah open in a park apparently matt was acting like he didn't know who he was claimed he didn't
27:37recognize noah amnesia so that's one way to handle it pretend like you've done nothing or have no knowledge
27:45of it well could that be real considering what sienna did to him in vegas i think it's far more
27:49likely
27:50that this is just another one of his mind games but whatever the hell is going on with him i
27:56don't
27:56get why he would show himself so brazenly in this town i mean the guy must know you have to
28:02deal with
28:03the consequences if he's forgotten who he is he movies or track and catch matt doesn't make mistakes
28:10like this everything he does is very calculated this isn't adding up you think there's more at play
28:16i don't know but i'm going to take care of this guy before i bother finding out what
28:23i knew something was off when grandpa's team couldn't locate matt's body in vegas
28:28yep because he wasn't actually dead but i just wonder where did he go after we fought
28:36how did he manage to get himself out of the desert and all the way back here cockroaches will always
28:42find a way i think he gave audra a pretty good scare in the park what did he get close
28:47to her i don't
28:48think so honestly it's all pretty much a blur i i saw him and i reacted and i shoved him
28:54to a wall
28:55oh so you protected her i wasn't thinking of anything except that i wanted him dead
28:59that that evil hateful bastard just standing there acting all innocent i just i wanted to
29:07strangle him you know and but somehow i was able to calm down enough to ask audra to call my
29:13dad for
29:13help that was a good instinct except audra didn't have dad's number so she called grandpa who didn't
29:19answer well given how he feels about audra that doesn't surprise me yeah but if he had answered maybe
29:25we would have stopped matt from getting away i think your dad feels guilty that you had to
29:31confront matt alone matt's latest crime is getting dad addicted to drugs like what kind of monster does
29:38that someone who doesn't care he has no respect for anyone else not an ounce of empathy i'm just
29:45relieved that this wasn't much worse and that you got home safe you know i never thought that i would
29:51say this but it was probably good that audra was there with you it's true
30:00so um just out of curiosity um why was she there with you
30:08what were you and audra doing together
30:15it's definitely a long time matt's still around but i mean we can still check for evidence
30:19should dad's team sweep the whole place to see if he's hiding somewhere yeah we can talk to the cafe
30:23staff and the park rangers too well we might want to keep our search on the down low i mean
30:29matt may
30:29realize we're looking for him and it would be helpful a lot better if he didn't know when we're coming
30:33we should have been here but how the hell could we have anticipated that matt found his way back
30:39here i could have told noah to stay home you know matt could have grabbed him again
30:44no it's fine we're gonna find matt we're gonna get this done okay yeah how does this keep happening
30:50how does he keep getting away this has to stop he's ruining people's lives it is not fair not to
30:56noah or
30:58i know this is hard what he put you through but we're gonna stop him i promise you we're gonna
31:03find him we're gonna put an end to this no it needs to happen like yesterday
31:08do something do you want some water do you want to sit down no i'm fine
31:14look i want to help and if you feel like you want to take a pill like you can tell
31:20me it's it's okay it's
31:22all out in the open now adam i'm upset am i allowed to be upset okay i'm worried about my
31:28family right
31:32of course i don't i'm sorry i do not mean to lash out at you i'm just frustrated okay
31:38this is chaotic and it's killing me
31:43last one thing i'm just a little hungry you know i didn't eat today i think it's throwing me off
31:54hello christine phyllis just saying hi
32:00we know each other too well for this just get to the point
32:03or better yet save what you have to say for the judge and the jury oh and wait unless you're
32:09ready to admit guilt then i'm all ears no no guilt here no guilt here i know why you're a
32:14part of this
32:15because the newmans are whiny little bitches tattletales sore losers victor newman being the
32:22source loser of them all that's my understanding that i was approached about potential crimes
32:29committed approached you were bought christine you were bought by victor to help get his company back
32:38because i beat him sounds like a conversation you should have with your attorney and for your
32:44sake i really hope michael's still representing you you're gonna need all the help you can get oh my
32:49goodness is this how you want to start your new term is district attorney of genoa city as victor's puppet
