00:00Stirred up some adrenaline, that's all.
00:01Well, you can't just dismiss that feeling.
00:03It's not just gonna go away, that desire, it's important.
00:07I think we should talk about it, what it means.
00:09It means nothing.
00:12Okay, look, maybe I just, I shouldn't have said anything at all.
00:15Why?
00:16Because if I talk about it, it's only gonna make you upset.
00:22I want you to be honest with me, okay?
00:24It's fine, I think I can handle it.
00:26It's not like I'm gonna abandon my life and go on the road as a poker player.
00:30Don't make light of this, Adam.
00:31We were both very concerned with you going back to Vegas.
00:34Adopting this spider persona again, even if it was for a good reason.
00:37Yes, and I'm fine.
00:38I'm here, I'm home, and I'm still me.
00:42Yeah, but you said, you still thought about it.
00:45You're chasing the high again, the high stakes, the high rewards at the poker table.
00:50It's a temptation.
00:52Which I can resist.
00:53I just turned down Risa's offer to go back.
00:56You just heard me do that.
00:58I'm not going anywhere.
00:59Was that a no to the game, or a no to her?
01:03You have nothing to worry about.
01:04I heard you.
01:05The way you were talking to her on the phone.
01:08What?
01:09You sounded...
01:12There was more intimacy.
01:13Your tone changed.
01:15Chelsea, it was just...
01:16It was the spider persona.
01:18Yeah, well, you slip back into it really easily.
01:21She wants you.
01:22She wants you back in her life.
01:24So what if she does?
01:25I don't have any interest in having any further contact with her, and I don't want a relationship with her,
01:30personally or professionally.
01:32I'm committed to you, and to our son, and the life that we have together.
01:39I mean, you believe me, right?
01:40I appreciate your time, Victor.
01:43Well, Christine, I cannot begin to tell you how happy I am that you are back as our district attorney.
01:50Now, you know, we cannot let Phyllis Summers or Kane Ashby get away with what they did.
01:59Change of scenery.
02:02Yeah, let's just get some lunch, regroup.
02:05It's been a rough day.
02:06It has.
02:07We'll get back on track.
02:08We'll handle all these deals.
02:09Yeah.
02:09Yeah.
02:10Absolutely.
02:11Hey.
02:13Thank you, by the way, for your support, okay?
02:16It means so much to me.
02:19I have your back.
02:21Always.
02:21I'm not going anywhere.
02:23I am committed to you and Summers' conglomerate.
02:27I'm committed to Summers' conglomerate as well.
02:30Who cares about Victor, right?
02:33Well, his bullying has to stop, but unfortunately, the man never got that memo.
02:38You know, he's amazing to me, as if he's the only person on the planet who's had a rough childhood.
02:45Seriously?
02:46Right?
02:46I mean, he uses his origin story to make himself look like a hero.
02:51I mean, he has a rap sheet that's longer than mine.
02:53He's not a hero.
02:54He's a tyrant.
02:55Well, he'd probably think that that was a compliment.
02:59He probably would.
03:01Can we use his past crimes against him?
03:05You mean black.
03:06I mean, you know, reminders.
03:09His past transgressions and he was against him.
03:12That would go over well.
03:13Yeah, I mean, did Michael ever tell you anything about him?
03:17About Victor?
03:18Yeah, anything at all?
03:19Maybe in passing.
03:21Um, something sinister, something clandestine.
03:24Please, don't answer that question.
03:27I was having a private conversation just now.
03:30You were trolling for privileged information from my wife.
03:33I was talking to my business partner.
03:35I was talking to her about work.
03:38Nice try.
03:39Generally, the transmission of said information could be considered a violation of attorney-client privilege,
03:44not to mention the trust upon which our marriage is built.
03:48He tells me nothing.
03:51Well, some men offer their wives jewelry.
03:54I offer plausible deniability.
03:57Thank God.
03:58You give me jewelry as well.
04:00No.
04:00You deserve everything, my dear.
04:02Oh, okay.
04:03This is sweet.
04:03This is very sweet.
04:04It's cutting into my billable hours.
04:07Meeting is in session.
04:10All right.
04:12What's my defense strategy?
04:14Well, since we last spoke, I have been given complete unredacted copies of the email evidence.
04:20I have combed through them thoroughly.
04:21I have completed my review.
04:23And?
04:24And, um, along with my assessment, I had the email evidence examined by a digital forensic expert
04:32in the hope that it would help our case.
04:36Okay, and what happened?
04:41The expert concluded that, by all appearances, the evidence is authentic.
04:50Are you kidding me?
04:52Wait, wait a second.
04:53These emails look real.
04:57Which means?
04:58Which means I'm screwed.
04:59That's what it means.
05:31I am so happy to see you.
05:35I'm so happy to hear your voice, Mariah.
05:37I can't tell you.
05:39Yes, even on a monitored call.
05:42I'm so happy to know that you're doing well.
05:44And you like your team.
05:46You feel good about your care.
05:48You sound upbeat.
05:50Well, what I mean to say is you sound hopeful.
05:56You know, I'm really thankful that you're willing to check in with me and let me know how you're doing.
06:03I am going to see Aria this weekend, and I will give her a big hug from you, of course.
06:10And I miss you, too.
06:13I love you so much, Mariah.
06:16I think about you every day.
06:21Okay, talk to you later.
06:29Glad you're home.
06:31Mom, where's Sienna?
06:32Ship upstairs?
06:33I'm here.
06:34Is everything okay?
06:35Sienna's instincts were right.
06:37Matt's alive.
06:38He's in Jinwa City.
06:48I understand how anxious you are to regain control of Newman Enterprises.
06:52It's very important to our family.
06:54Yeah, but I just don't think that the case against Phyllis is hard to prove.
06:58I mean, she has my company.
07:00She sold it.
07:01And the emails between her and Kane Ashby proved that she intended to do so.
07:05Which essentially is a full confession.
07:07I mean, the evidence speaks for itself.
07:10Well, there's some strong evidence, but there are extenuating circumstances.
07:14This falls under the category of cybercrimes, and the laws around AI are constantly evolving.
07:20There are other issues.
07:22What's that?
07:24There's a lot of bad blood between the parties.
07:27Extensive negative history between the Newmans and Kane and Phyllis.
07:30This has to be done by the book in order to prove that Phyllis was undeniably in the wrong.
07:35Facts, not emotions, will win the day.
07:37And they will.
07:39And there's the long-standing animosity between Phyllis and me.
07:42I have to make sure that they won't hold that against me when I present the case.
07:45And, Victor, I need you to understand that in spite of my feelings about Phyllis, they won't sway me.
07:50I will treat this case like I would any other.
07:53I will follow the facts, seek the truth, and uphold the law.
07:58I appreciate that, Christine, and I know you will.
08:01I just want it to be clear.
08:03Thank you for your time.
08:04Let me take you to the door.
08:06And again, thank you for coming by.
08:08Have a nice day.
08:12That was a smart move.
08:13Go to Christine.
08:15Although I will say, going by the book might take a little time.
08:21Mm-hmm.
08:23Well, I think the wheels of justice will turn our way.
08:28And while we wait, we watch Phyllis Summers unravel.
08:34And I'll enjoy that spectacle.
08:40Okay, well, this is definitely not good news.
08:43Not what we hoped for.
08:45There has to be another way forward.
08:48Okay, so, um, this expert, do they really know AI?
08:54Very well.
08:55Mm-hmm.
08:56And why did they conclude that the emails are real?
09:00Well, for starters, the emails appear to have been generated from within Chancellor
09:05when you were still in control of the company.
09:07But they weren't.
09:08They look like they were sent from your email account,
09:11which is password-protective with a secure server and a private IP address.
09:17That never happened.
09:17It never happened, Michael.
09:19The language in your emails mimics your personal style.
09:23Of course it does.
09:25Because that's what AI does.
09:27Yeah, if that's the case...
09:29Wait a second, wait a second.
09:31What do you mean, if that's the case?
09:33If that's the case, AI did a damn good job.
09:37By making it look like I actually wrote those emails.
09:41My God, I am spoiled.
09:45Wait a minute, there has to be a way to prove that it's a lie.
09:48That the emails are not authentic.
09:51What about another forensics expert?
09:54I thought about that too, but there's a problem.
09:56Actually, a series of problems.
09:58Okay, well, what are the problems?
10:01Well, first, if we have the evidence examined by multiple experts
10:04and they arrive at the same conclusion...
10:07You mean that the emails appear real?
10:09Yeah, hurts us. Hurts our case.
10:10Yeah, yeah.
10:11Michael, honestly, I think it's a risk that we should take.
10:15We just need one expert to contest the authenticity of the emails.
10:21Well, here's the other issue.
10:23Even if we find a team that can reveal the emails were all created by artificial intelligence software,
10:31we would have to show that proof in court.
10:36Okay, where's the problem?
10:39Well, the prosecution can use the same experts to prove that you stole Newman Enterprises from Victor.
10:47Also using AI.
10:48Right, right, right.
10:54Victor's using the same thing I used against him to take me down.
10:59Matt is here, in town? You saw him?
11:02I did.
11:03I had a terrible feeling.
11:05Well, at least you know now that you weren't responsible for his death.
11:08Yeah, you know, it made me sick to think that I had killed someone,
11:11but just because of the way that he and I fought, it was so ugly,
11:15and I still wake up in a cold sweat about it, but...
11:19You know, now that we are sure that he is alive,
11:22I wished I had finished the job when I had the chance.
11:24We just can't get rid of him, can we?
11:26We will this time.
11:27How did you find out he was back?
11:29Well, I was at the park cafe picking up some drinks for us,
11:32and when I came outside, he was there.
11:34In broad daylight?
11:35Yeah, he didn't seem too concerned about keeping a low profile.
11:38That makes no sense. You'd think he'd be more cautious.
11:40Okay, was he waiting for you?
11:42It didn't seem like it.
11:43So what did you do when you saw him? Did you confront him? Did you call the police?
11:46I went after him.
11:48And Audra was there, so I told her to call the cops.
11:50Audra was there?
11:50Yeah, I ran into her at the cafe, but of course she could make the call.
11:53He punched me and took off.
11:55Wait, he hit you? Are you okay? Do you need to be checked out?
11:58I'm fine, I promise.
12:00So, have the police been contacted? Should we call them now?
12:04You know, I can always reach out to James.
12:06No, no, no, no. Let's hold off on that, all right?
12:08I trust Burrow, but I prefer the Newman security team track Matt down,
12:11then we can deal with this ourselves.
12:13Nicholas.
12:14Let's just say the cops find Matt.
12:16He's already skirted the legal system once.
12:18That cannot happen again.
12:20Yeah, he's on our turf now. He couldn't have gotten far.
12:22I cannot allow him to escape again.
12:25I'll deal with this bastard myself.
12:33I still don't understand.
12:35Why would Matt show his face in Genoa City after he held us hostage in Vegas?
12:40What happened when you saw him? Did he threaten you?
12:43Apparently he was pretending that he wasn't Matt Clark.
12:47What?
12:47No.
12:48I got in his face, and he acted like he didn't know who he was.
12:50He said he didn't remember any explosion in Vegas or what he's put our family through.
12:54That's bizarre.
12:56Okay, what about Audra?
12:57Did he seem to recognize her?
12:59No. No, no.
13:01Audra said afterwards he seemed excited that she recognized him,
13:03but upset that she seemed afraid of him.
13:05I don't know. It happened so fast, and it was right before I saw him.
13:08Okay, what did you think of his behavior?
13:11He didn't seem entirely like himself.
13:13I mean, he asked me if I knew who he was, and he seemed pretty desperate.
13:17How do you think he benefits by pretending like he doesn't know who he really is?
13:22What if he's not pretending?
13:25You seem confident.
13:27Yeah, well, I simply relate the facts to Christine.
13:33Well, I'm sure she appreciated you turned over the evidence to the authorities right away.
13:40You know, Phyllis and Cain Ashby are prone to reckless behavior.
13:52If they think for one minute they can get away with stealing from me,
14:00they have another thing coming.
14:03I was just telling Chelsea the same thing.
14:06And I was telling Adam I don't think Cain and Phyllis would be that stupid
14:09to commit a crime over email, leaving a digital trail anyone could find.
14:14I guess you're just going to have to ask them about their actions.
14:16You know, I think I'd rather ask Victor.
14:18Did they leave a trail?
14:20Or were these emails fabricated?
14:22And if so, did either one of you have something to do with it?
14:29Victor is a bastard.
14:31He's trying to squeeze me out.
14:33He knows what you did.
14:35I didn't do anything. I didn't steal anything.
14:38And Victor never planted evidence against you.
14:40Except he did, Michael.
14:42Well, now you have ownership of his company, which kind of verifies the emails.
14:47You see the dilemma there?
14:48One thing cancels the other one out.
14:50Okay, whose side are you on?
14:52Well, yours, of course.
14:53But if we want to win, we need to see the big picture.
14:57You and Kane had total access to Victor's AI software when you targeted Newman Enterprises.
15:03Keep your voice down, please.
15:06Oh, wait a minute, wait a minute.
15:07What if Victor used a page of the same playbook and used an AI program of his own to implicate
15:14Phyllis?
15:14Right. What do you think of that, Michael?
15:17I think we're at a standoff. It's pretty clear to me.
15:19Yes, we are.
15:20And Victor is lashing out now.
15:22He's flailing.
15:23And here you are, oh, sidestepping, just to placate Victor.
15:29I'm letting you know the facts.
15:31As you're training, that's my job, to let you know what you're up against.
15:34Okay. Well, then tell me what my defense is. Please.
15:39What about this?
15:43What if we had an audio recording of Victor confessing?
15:49No.
15:49No? Why not? It's legal.
15:51You would never admit to doing it.
15:52He would not admit to anyone but you.
15:55Not while I'm acting as your attorney.
15:57Okay, how about you're not my attorney anymore, because you're coming really, really close.
16:02Okay, why don't we play nice?
16:03Proving Victor's guilt does not prove your innocence.
16:05That is bull, and you know it. That is bull.
16:08He fabricated that evidence, then he gave it to his little weaselly daughter,
16:12and she handed it to the DA on a silver platter.
16:16Lying to an officer of the court is a felony.
16:18You used fake documents to justify a coup, also a felony.
16:23Michael!
16:24Seriously? Are you my lawyer?
16:27Do you want to protect me, or are you just trying to sabotage this case?
16:39Look, I have a hard time believing that anything Matt does is sincere.
16:42I just don't know if I think this memory loss thing is real.
16:45Okay.
16:45When we fought, I bashed him in the head with a rock so hard that I thought I killed him.
16:51Look, there was blood everywhere, he was out cold, and a severe head injury with lasting consequences.
16:58It is definitely a possibility.
17:01If there was sustained trauma...
17:03Would that really cause amnesia?
17:05It's hard to say.
17:08When Audra said that Matt seemed confused, I just assumed that she fell for another one of his games.
17:12I mean, she doesn't know Matt like we do.
17:14Yeah, but she knew Mitch, right?
17:16And he was always confident, he was always sure of himself.
17:19And she thought he was off?
17:21Maybe Audra picked up on something I didn't see.
17:23I don't know, I was just so furious when I saw him, I just wanted to pummel the guy.
17:26Look, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if this is real or fake.
17:29This... this bastard is going down.
17:33Nick? Are you okay?
17:35Yeah, can we get you anything down?
17:36I'm fine. I'm fine. I just... I need some air.
17:44This can't be good for Dad.
17:46All this tension, especially given what he's dealing with.
17:49Just give him some time to cool down.
17:52We're all very frustrated by Matt, and no one feels that more than your father.
17:59Keep it together.
18:04Keep it together.
18:07Look, Phyllis, Michael really wants to help you.
18:11Hmm, yeah. I get no thanks. Just accusations.
18:17But I do want you to know that I am committed to this case, both as your friend and your
18:22lawyer.
18:23I serve your best interests, not Victor's.
18:26Okay, really? Really? Prove it. Come up with a better strategy, or I'll find someone who will, Michael.
18:33This isn't as easy as you seem to think.
18:35You know what? I'm gonna give you a week. I'm gonna give you a week to come up with a
18:39better plan.
18:40If you don't, if you don't, I will walk.
18:43Who is gonna represent you if I don't?
18:45Why are we even working together?
18:47Because I'm all you have.
18:50Christine and Victor will bury you if you're not careful. This case is that close to being unwinnable.
18:57Okay, if that's what you think, why are we talking right now?
19:01Because I am going to protect you from yourself.
19:05And I'm the only lawyer crazy enough to accomplish that.
19:13You know, as Phyllis' attorney, I'm sure that Michael Baldwin will hire some expert to authenticate the emails.
19:21I believe that to be true, but that's not what I asked you.
19:25What did you ask me?
19:26If these emails aren't real, and someone in this family knew they weren't real,
19:30when they were handed to the DA, that puts us in serious legal jeopardy.
19:34You don't have to worry about that.
19:38I disagree, Victor. And I know this is a sore subject, but if Nikki was here, I think that she
19:43would disagree as well.
19:43I don't think that we should go there, Chelsea. The authenticity of these emails is irrelevant.
19:50Oh, okay, so if it looks real, then that makes it real?
19:53If we're going off that logic, then we shouldn't care about the documents that Phyllis and Kane used to obtain
19:58Newman Enterprises in the first place.
20:00Because those were bogus. Those were AI-generated.
20:01And we have to get back what they stole.
20:03By any means necessary?
20:04You bet.
20:06I agree. Phyllis needs to give back what she stole. And both of them, they should pay for their crimes.
20:11And so should Billy.
20:12That's different.
20:14It's not different. There's no need for you to defend Billy Boy Abbott.
20:18I'm not, Victor. I'm fighting for us. I'm fighting for this family. I don't want us to take things too
20:22far. We can't come back from.
20:25Son, what's going on?
20:27Noah ran into Matt Clark at the park. They got into it.
20:30That son of a bitch is still alive?
20:34He got away. But he is back in Genoa City, Dad. We have to find him. I need your help.
20:51You know, I actually agree with Michael.
20:53I mean, even if we prove that these emails were fabricated by AI, it actually, it opens the door to
21:00a charge that you used a similar program to forge the contracts to gain control of Newman Enterprises.
21:06Yes. No. Victor sold Newman Enterprises to me for the right price. That's what the evidence shows.
21:14And that evidence was also AI generated, and that fabrication can also be exposed.
21:18I'm not confident in my counsel. You know, maybe we should just cut our losses and make a deal. You
21:26cannot be serious right now.
21:28To save you? Yes, I am. Give Victor the company back in exchange for withdrawing the charges.
21:34No! No, I'm not fooling to Victor.
21:37All right, you know what? Hold on. Would that work? Would negotiating directly with Victor work?
21:43The case is already in Christine's hands. Even if Victor were to ask, she might not agree to drop them.
21:48Oh, you really are stuck.
21:50Look. Oh, look at this. Speak of the devil.
21:55Oh.
21:56Oh, quite the timing.
21:58Hmm. Victor isn't the only one to be swayed. Excuse me.
22:02Where are you going?
22:02Where am I going? I'm going to have a little chat with our new DA.
22:11Okay, here you go.
22:13Thanks, Mom.
22:15The Zen Master tease I was picking up for us at the cafe got lost and all the craziness with
22:19Matt.
22:19I'm just relieved you were able to get away from him.
22:22Yeah, you landed a pretty good one before you took off.
22:24I'll get you some ice.
22:25No, no, I'm fine. Seriously. I'm just a little sore.
22:31Are you all right?
22:33Yeah, I'm not the one who got punched.
22:36Now, you had the feeling that Matt was going to come back, that he's still alive, and now it's confirmed.
22:41Yeah, well, Sharon got me thinking that way.
22:43You were the one who first suspected that maybe Matt hadn't been killed.
22:48I've had a lot of experience with him coming back to haunt us.
22:52I'm so sorry for what he's put both through.
22:55He landed you in the hospital.
22:57Matt has been a menace to every single person who's known him.
23:02You know, when he was lying there, I really, really thought that we were all free of him.
23:09That there was no way he could ever hurt any of us again.
23:12You know, this whole memory loss thing, you really think that this is just some ploy of his?
23:18Well, maybe that's the point for us to all go out of our minds trying to guess.
23:23Everything is a manipulation.
23:25Yeah, but that is a big, big risk for him to take, confronting you like that in public.
23:31Yeah, I was really caught off guard, and if I got my bearings back sooner, I would have stopped him,
23:36you know, made sure the police got there first.
23:38Better that you're safe.
23:40Yeah, and really far away from him.
23:43He's still out there.
23:45I had my chance, and I blew it.
23:47We will take care of this, Noah.
23:50Your father went to talk to Victor for that exact reason.
23:54Matt won't remove this family for long.
23:57Right.
23:58Well, we're dealing with it now.
24:02Why the hell would Matt Clark go after Noah, open, in a park?
24:07Apparently, Matt was acting like he didn't know who he was, claimed he didn't recognize Noah.
24:12Amnesia?
24:13So that's one way to handle it.
24:15Pretend like you've done nothing, or have no knowledge of it.
24:18Could that be real, considering what Sienna did to him in Vegas?
24:21I think it's far more likely that this is just another one of his mind games.
24:24But whatever the hell is going on with him, I don't get why he would show himself so brazenly in
24:30this town.
24:30I mean, the guy must know you have to deal with the consequences.
24:35If he's forgotten who he is, he will be easier to track and catch.
24:38Matt doesn't make mistakes like this.
24:40Everything he does is very calculated.
24:42This isn't adding up.
24:44You think there's more at play?
24:45I don't know, but I'm going to take care of this guy before I bother finding out what.
24:54I knew something was off when Grandpa's team couldn't locate Matt's body in Vegas.
24:59Yeah, because he wasn't actually dead.
25:02I just wonder, where did he go after we fought?
25:06How did he manage to get himself out of the desert and all the way back here?
25:10Cockroaches will always find a way.
25:12I think he gave Audra a pretty good scare in the park.
25:15What, did he get close to her?
25:16I don't think so.
25:18Honestly, it's all pretty much a blur.
25:19I saw him and I reacted and I shoved him to a wall.
25:22Oh, so you protected her.
25:24I wasn't thinking of anything except that I wanted him dead.
25:27Not that evil, hateful bastard just standing there acting all innocent.
25:31I just wanted to strangle him.
25:34You know, and I somehow was able to calm down enough to ask Audra to call my dad for help.
25:39That was a good instinct.
25:41Except Audra didn't have Dad's number.
25:43So she called Grandpa, who didn't answer.
25:45Well, given how he feels about Audra, that doesn't surprise me.
25:48Yeah, but if he had answered, maybe we would have stopped Matt from getting away.
25:51I think your dad feels guilty that you had to confront Matt alone.
25:56Matt's latest crime is getting Dad addicted to drugs.
25:59What kind of monster does that?
26:01Someone who doesn't care.
26:02He has no respect for anyone else.
26:05Not an ounce of empathy.
26:06I'm just relieved that this wasn't much worse and that you got home safe.
26:10You know, I never thought that I would say this, but it was probably good that Audra was there with
26:16you.
26:17It's true.
26:20So, um, just out of curiosity, um, why was she there with you?
26:28What were you and Audra doing together?
26:34It's definitely a long shot that Matt's still around, but I mean, we can still check for evidence.
26:38Should have Dad's team sweep the whole place and see if he's hiding somewhere?
26:40Yeah, we can talk to the cafe staff and the park rangers, too.
26:44Well, we might want to keep our search on the down low.
26:46I mean, Matt may realize we were looking for him, and it would be a hell of a lot better
26:49if he didn't know when we were coming.
26:50We should have been here.
26:52But how the hell could we have anticipated that Matt was going to find his way back here?
26:57I could have told Noah to stay home.
26:58You know, Matt could have grabbed him again.
27:00Right, but Noah's fine.
27:01And we're going to find Matt.
27:03We're going to get this done, okay?
27:04Okay.
27:05How does this keep happening?
27:07How does he keep getting away?
27:08This has to stop.
27:09He is ruining people's lives.
27:10It is not fair, not to Noah or Sharon.
27:14I know this is hard, what he put you through.
27:17But we're going to stop him.
27:18I promise you, we're going to find him.
27:19We're going to put an end to this.
27:20Yeah, well, it needs to happen like yesterday.
27:23Can I get you something?
27:25Do you want some water?
27:26Do you want to sit down?
27:26No, I'm fine.
27:29Look, I want to help.
27:30And if you feel like you want to take a pill, like, you can tell me.
27:34It's okay.
27:35It's all out in the open now.
27:36Adam, I'm upset.
27:37Am I allowed to be upset?
27:39Okay?
27:39I'm worried about my family.
27:42Right.
27:44Of course, I don't.
27:45I'm sorry.
27:46I do not mean to lash out at you.
27:48I'm just frustrated, okay?
27:50This is chaotic, and it's killing me.
27:54I'm also thinking I'm just a little hungry.
27:56You know, I didn't eat today.
27:57I think it's throwing me off.
27:58I don't know.
28:04Hello, Christine.
28:06Phyllis?
28:06Just saying hi.
28:09We know each other too well for this.
28:10Just get to the point.
28:12Or better yet, save what you have to say for the judge and the jury.
28:15Oh, and wait.
28:16Unless you're ready to admit guilt, then I'm all ears.
28:19No, no guilt here.
28:20No guilt here.
28:21I know why you're a part of this.
28:23Because the Newmans are whiny little bitches.
28:25Tattletales.
28:26Sore losers.
28:27Victor Newman being the sorest loser of them all.
28:30That's my understanding that I was approached about potential crimes committed.
28:35Approached?
28:36You were bought, Christine.
28:39You were bought by Victor to help get his company back.
28:43Because I beat him.
28:45Sounds like a conversation you should have with your attorney.
28:47And for your sake, I really hope Michael's still representing you.
28:50You're going to need all the help you can get.
28:52Oh, my goodness.
28:54Is this how you want to start your new term as district attorney of Genoa City?
28:59As Victor's puppet?
29:05Hmm.
29:06What are you doing?
29:06Exercising your right to remain silent, are you?
29:10No problem.
29:11I'll talk.
29:12I'm going to make sure that everybody knows about your corruption.
29:16The entire world, actually.
29:18I will go to every single media outlet and tell them that you are in Victor Newman's back pocket.
29:30Is that how you want to start your new term as district attorney?
29:43This isn't going to work.
29:44What do you think?
29:46Any PR is better than no PR?
29:48That's not correct.
29:50So, you think if you just keep poking at me, I'm going to lose my call?
29:54I'm not poking.
29:55I'm giving you advice.
29:56Don't be smart for a change.
29:57Shut your mouth.
29:58I concur with opposing counsel.
30:00No, she has been bought by Victor.
30:02I want to know what he promised you, Cricket.
30:05How do you sweeten the pot?
30:06Walk away, fellas.
30:07Okay, that is a nice...
30:08No, no.
30:09The only place I'm going to be walking is Spectra Charles Media
30:13to give them all the dirt and are bought and paid for district attorney.
30:17I am doing my job.
30:19You can't fault me for that.
30:22Try me.
30:23Okay.
30:25Make good on your threats.
30:27I promise you, I will not only defend my personal integrity, but the integrity of my office.
30:33I'll sue you for defamation and win.
30:37So, you'll not only be in prison, you'll be broke.
30:45I just ran into Audra at the cafe.
30:48It wasn't planned.
30:49Okay, she actually was the one who sold me on those Zen teas.
30:52I told her how stressed you were, and she could clearly see that I was wound tight.
30:56Oh, I see.
30:58Yeah, and it was lucky that I did.
31:00She witnessed while I went down.
31:01Oh, the fight between you and Matt?
31:03Yes.
31:03Yeah, there were other people around, but she was right there.
31:06Yeah, because she always seems to have a way of being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
31:12I am not a fan of Audra Charles at all.
31:17But I agree.
31:17I'm glad that she was there.
31:19Another set of eyes on Matt.
31:21Yeah, plus she confirmed that he was acting like he didn't know who he was.
31:25Great.
31:25But I meant that is good to know.
31:28She probably, uh, stopped things from escalating.
31:32You know what?
31:33Now that we're talking about it, I should probably thank her for making those calls and maybe check in on
31:37her.
31:38She may be, uh, shaking up.
31:39Good idea.
31:40Plus, see if she remembers anything else.
31:42Yeah.
31:48I didn't realize that you hadn't eaten today.
31:51Yeah.
31:52I think I just got, like, a little blood sugar or something.
31:55Well, isn't that something that you should keep an eye on?
31:58With the addiction?
32:01My blood sugar?
32:03Halt.
32:04You know, don't get too hungry, angry, lonely, tired.
32:08I saw it on a poster at the clinic we took Connor to.
32:11Yeah.
32:12Yeah, I remember something about that.
32:15Look, why don't I go inside and get you a sandwich or something?
32:20Yeah.
32:21Okay, great.
32:22I'll take a sandwich.
32:22Thanks.
32:23Be right back.
32:34Bye.
32:35Bye.
32:36Bye.
32:37Bye.
32:38Bye.
32:40Bye.
32:40Bye.
32:41Bye.
32:42Bye.
32:42Bye.
32:49Bye.
33:51Join us again for The Young and the Restless.
