00:00The End
00:09Tav
00:10Hey, you.
00:14Well, today's the big day.
00:16Yeah.
00:18I'm going to be glad when it's over.
00:23Welcome.
00:24Welcome.
00:24Welcome, everyone.
00:28Everyone,
00:29I would like to welcome you.
00:31No.
00:33Hello, Theo.
00:36I just wanted to make sure you have everything you need.
00:39I do.
00:40Thanks.
00:41Good, good.
00:42Well, if anything comes up, I will be in the garden.
00:46Mm-hmm.
00:48Welcome, everyone.
00:49Everyone.
00:50Everyone.
00:51I'd like to welcome you.
00:55Yo.
00:57Here we go.
00:59I'm nervous.
01:01Public speaking, it's not my thing.
01:03Don't even worry, man.
01:04You got this.
01:06And hey, you get up there and the nerve's creeping.
01:08Just picture everybody in their underwear.
01:11So.
01:13Any answer about what the big guy left behind?
01:16Be patient, Uncle.
01:18You'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?
01:35I 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, but I promise you, this will be the very last goodbye.
01:50Tom, all I know is that we are missing the Chelsea Flower Show for this nonsense.
01:56Really?
01:57I'm sure a hefty inheritance will do something to assuage your disappointment.
02:04Well, 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.
02:15Yes.
02:17But is passing on any of this really a good thing?
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?
03:03You don't mind talking in front of her?
03:06No, I don't.
03:07She's as in the dark as I am.
03:10Father grew 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.
03:23His trusted girlfriend here.
03:25Oh, Rosalind Russell, I am not.
03:28And I certainly wasn't working with Cary Grant.
03:32But on a note of pure self-interest, here's hoping the good doctor didn't persuade your father to leave everything
03:39to him.
03:40I'm hoping to cash out and retire to Boca.
03:43Boca, huh?
03:44Oh, you'll be running that place before your first B-side Binoza.
03:49Oh, I don't run places.
03:51I elevate them.
03:53That you do with flair.
03:57And now back on topic.
04:00I take it Dr. Rolf won't be making an appearance at the reading?
04:04Oh, heavens, no.
04:06No.
04:07He still wants the questioning about hiring that crackpot Owen Kent.
04:12So 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, so are the days of our lives.
05:19You 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.
05:28You 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 her father.
05:53And John's kindness, gentleness, generosity, and not all the evil that runs in your side of the family.
06:04Well, I'm sorry we had to meet like this yet again.
06:08You know Father, he loves to make his family uncomfortable.
06:12More like squirm.
06:15So, before the festivities get underway, I 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 want to check it out?
06:26Sure.
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 you decided to resign from Gamera.
06:49What are you doing here, Leo?
06:51Bird watching?
06:53Here.
06:54Today 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, I invited myself to watch birds.
07:02Amongst other things, from a respectful remove.
07:05You are trespassing.
07:07Please.
07:07I work for Chadwick, and by tomorrow he may own this joint.
07:09Oh.
07:10So Chad told you he could be here.
07:12Well, I would have asked him, but I didn't want to put him in an awkward position with the family.
07:16Trust me, he'd be totally cool with it.
07:17I highly doubt that.
07:19Chad does not want you airing his family's dirty laundry.
07:22Will there be dirty laundry?
07:23Look.
07:25Chad's got enough going on.
07:26He doesn't need you causing trouble.
07:30So interesting.
07:32What?
07:33How you seem more concerned with protecting my boss than your own.
07:43Johnny took control of DiMera out of necessity.
07:47Lamu were kidnapped.
07:48Asked 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?
08:00I told you on the phone.
08:01Yeah, I know.
08:02The CEO wasn't your position.
08:05But now that we're face to face, I'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.
08:22Johnny'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, I 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.
08:38And 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 we've kept Wolfgang 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?
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.
09:35We have a shortage of patients.
09:37That's for sure.
09:44Yes?
09:49I see.
09:51Thank you for letting me know.
09:54What is it?
09:55Our contact at the airport says a charter plane has landed in Salem.
10:01Bound from Alemania.
10:15Brady and John?
10:17Please.
10:18They're not exactly saints.
10:20I 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.
10:43And don't kid yourself, Marlena.
10:46Your family tree has quite a few bad apples on it as well.
10:53After Rachel was conceived, it was out of love.
10:58Unlike Johnny.
11:00My daughter, Samantha.
11:03She was raped.
11:06And in spite of that horrific tragedy, Johnny is loved by both of his parents.
11:15Maybe.
11:18You think my daughter deserves to be locked up in a mental institution?
11:25What about Johnny, Marlena?
11:27What about him?
11:28Hmm?
11:29I mean, after he learned of his not so immaculate conception, he found a gun and nearly shot E.J.
11:38too.
11:41Well, that was...
11:42Could have been a terrible tragedy.
11:46Come on, Marlena.
11:49You loathe E.J. just as much as I do.
11:53I mean...
11:54He hurt everyone you care about.
11:57Your children.
11:58Your grandchildren.
12:01Don't pretend you wouldn't be the real 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.
12:25And you would pass it off as your own.
12:29That was E.J.
12:33And 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, I 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, I cannot bail you out.
13:12So stay out of trouble.
13:15What?
13:16Of course.
13:30Of course.
13:42That 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 had 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.
14:13I couldn't agree more.
14:16Well, hello, Abe.
14:19Tony.
14:20Good to see you.
14:21Good to see you.
14:22Bad.
14:23Hmm.
14:24So, uh, where's everybody?
14:27Well, they're in the dining room.
14:29Shall we join them?
14:30Yes.
14:45Good to see you.
14:58Well, I 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.
15:09Oh.
15:11Thank 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 could 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, and I
15:37will meet you in there.
15:37I'm just going to grab EJ real quick.
15:43And I owe you a ring.
15:45For what?
15:46Dinner.
15:46And I promise you next time we will have dessert.
15:51Uh, I should head off into the dining room.
15:54Would 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, I need to get to my father's
16:26will, really.
16:29I'm sure that'll be a circus.
16:32Yeah, it's funny.
16:34I'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.
16:50It's my mother.
16:53What?
16:55Lexi?
16:56What about her?
16:58She's alive.
17:00Oh, Marlena.
17:02Hmm.
17:04You should come.
17:05I mean, you were invited, after all.
17:08So was John.
17:10Tempting, but I think I'll pass.
17:13Aren't you curious about the gift Stefano left you?
17:17No, not in the slightest.
17:20I think John would have been.
17:25Look at that.
17:27My father is dead.
17:30And you're still afraid to face him on your own.
17:55And you're still afraid to face him on your own.
18:01Your mother is the reason I came today.
18:07She didn't want you involved in the DiMera business.
18:11But she would want you to get your rightful share of the estate.
18:17Look, I...
18:19She's watching.
18:21She's watching, son.
18:25And 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.
18:58Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha,
19:05ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
19:12I've dressed 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, if I ever fall off a cruise ship, you know who to blame.
19:27Okay.
19:34I think we're just about ready.
19:38Oh.
19:40Hmm.
19:42Oh, E.J., we were horrified to hear about what happened to Johnny.
19:47Yeah.
19:48So glad he's going to be okay.
19:50Yes, thankfully he will be.
19:52But they still haven't found the 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 the poor girl took her own life.
20:05Oh, how tragic.
20:07Yeah, indeed.
20:27Oh, good to see you.
20:28How are you doing?
20:29You as well, Mr. Mayor.
20:31I hope you bring Thomas and Charlotte to visit sometime, sir.
20:34Will do, will do.
20:35There, have a seat.
20:42Hey.
20:44Hey.
20:45How'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.
20:56That's okay.
20:58Chad, that'd be wonderful.
21:00I...
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 that a private jet from Alemania has touched down here this afternoon.
21:16Now, it could be Megan, but it's most likely her son, Dimitri.
21:22Or perhaps if she just locked the doors.
21:25Or tunnels.
21:28Oh, you 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.
22:01I'm following my bliss.
22:02More specifically, Aleid.
22:03Even more specifically, that goblin woman who's scarce for living but Jesus out 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.
22:43I 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 and 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 Nono'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
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.
23:57It'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 careful.
24:09Don't gloat, Kristen.
24:12Touche, Father.
24:15Oh, we all know that he's dead, but why do I get the feeling that he's still here?
24:33And now, on to my estate.
24:38It's taking forever.
24:40I mean, maybe this is Stefano's last trick, making us sit here and listen to this until the end of
24:45time.
24:46Oh, don't worry, lovey.
24:48We'll be going to London for that flower show before you even know it.
25:19Let's read it.
25:46Like that will never happen.
25:58Harold, I'll give it.
26:05Let me guess, Father.
26:07The 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.
26:21You know what?
26:21You do that.
26:22You do that.
26:23And I don't have time for this.
26:24Okay?
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.
26:41The 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 am I cute outside of EJ's lab?
27:08I thought you caught me trying to uncover EJ's secret, but maybe I caught you.
27:14Maybe I gotcha.
27:17Ah, oh my God, it's true.
27:20You 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, 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 Rolf.
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.
28:40My pupil-turned-adversary.
28:42My pawn.
28:46My queen of the night, Dr. Marlena Evans.
29:05For John and Marlena, may 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 and 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.
30:31And 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, but I encourage each of you, including
30:48those who have been forgotten or cast out, to 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 can truly be passed
31:10on 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.
31:27Remember, the mirrors are not born to serve, but born to lead.
31:33We do not accept the fate others determined for us.
31:36We create our own.
31:38Go forth and live your lives as I did, with 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.
31:57Long live the house of Dimera.
32:04Pardon me.
32:13And, uh, oh, that concludes the...
32:17Hola.
32:19Familia.
32:21Am I late?
32:39Abby, what are you doing here?
32:40I'd like an answer to that as well.
32:43This is a private family event.
32:46Hmm.
32:47And apparently, I'm still part of yours.
32:51What the hell does that mean?
32:54Phillip just got back from Alamania.
32:56He went to see Yvonne, dearly departed Vivian's companion, and they had a little heart to heart.
33:02Well, I'm sure this story is utterly fascinating.
33:04Why 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, which means that I'm not his ex
33:17-wife.
33:18I'm his widow, and therefore, I am entitled to his share of the Dimera estate.
33:25Cha-ching.
33:39Do you think that I am in the ISA?
33:43Come on.
33:44Oh, wait.
33:45I wish my life was that interesting.
33:48It was self-staring at me like that.
33:49Okay, listen, when the whole Clyde Weston thing went down, I have to make sure that my boss is not
33:56doing something 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.
34:10Because I happen to know my way around these tunnels quite well from when I was pretending to be the
34:13Tooth Fairy.
34:15That what?
34:16It's a long story.
34:17I'll fill you in later.
34:18Right now, follow me.
34:22What was that?
34:23Could be a kid looking to exchange an incisor for 50 bucks.
34:27It 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.
34:47But as soon as you're still in our employ, do you think you could find out if what Ms. Inanda's
34:52claims is true?
34:53Honest.
34:55This simply can't stand.
34:57I'm not so sure.
34:59Last time we'd be in a poison pen.
35:01Screwed the Kyriakosis.
35:03It could be our time.
35:09Bravo, Gabby.
35:11You are a woman after my own heart.
35:14But even I smell a fraud.
35:18I 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.
35:38Until then, shall we raise a glass to father?
35:45Don't mind if I do.
35:49Here's to father.
36:10Here's to father.
36:15For the third breath of Daniel.
36:23I have a car for you.
36:23I have a Bengal.
36:24There's to father.
36:24There's a bard.
36:24We've always done that.
36:27trabal?
36:41I could do the many.
36:41You never have to throws nobody, too.
36:41Because you'reopfaru.
