04:14bit and and we could talk yes I love you Jack and I I know that you love me and
04:26I'm I'm just really
04:28hoping that's all that matters you want to have a drink with me unless you'd rather be alone no no
04:37no
04:37it's just the last time I saw you are you gonna accuse me of something or tell me I have
04:48to leave
04:48town or tell me that I am the same old crazy man no it's top of my list no and
04:55the chair is all yours
05:00thanks bad yay more of the same
05:08everywhere I turn everyone is my face about the horrible things I did in the past refusing to
05:15believe that I've changed that is why you came back to prove yourself right nobody said it was gonna be
05:23easy yeah well some days I am more difficult than others it's all the hate this town and it's hard
05:33to
05:33trust when someone is actually trying to be nice like right now I really don't even know what to do
05:39with this I say accept it I would like to but you have been playing hard to get Jack even
05:48though I have
05:49nothing but love for you I'm just a little confused as to why you suddenly decided to be civil with
05:57me
05:58well maybe that's because I've been fighting battles on seemingly every front myself and avoiding you or
06:07attacking you when I do see you is not been serving me maybe it's time for me to accept that
06:13you are here
06:15here in general city to stay and that you are trying to be a better person
06:25does that mean you accept what happened between us on the yacht that night
06:35I have some things to do enjoy yourself yeah I know it's sleep but maybe I'll wander around for a
06:42little bit no no no no no what do you mean no no that's a terrible idea why is that
06:47it's her well you yourself said that people are after you correct yeah I did say that that might be
06:53the case yeah so just don't take a load off you know just enjoy it
07:00enjoy this this great room that little dude Noah hates me he said that I tortured his parents that I
07:08tried to kill them in an explosion in Las Vegas you think I remember something like that right am I
07:15an awful person
07:18no no I mean I don't I don't I don't think so you know all the more reason you should
07:25just just stay here and relax it's hard for me to relax there's somebody out there I don't even know
07:31him and he he hates me he thinks I'm some kind of a monster
07:34yeah you know I'm gonna clear a couple things up for you
07:39uh that that little dude Noah and uh his dad and his grandfather they're newmans
07:47they're newmans yeah
07:50why are you looking at me that that means something
07:53what yeah they're they're they're a powerful family
07:58um I know them you know them that's great can we go see them
08:03no we can start this whole thing out I can make amends
08:06mmm no
08:09uh that's very lovely but you're not doing that it's ill-advised
08:13why is it ill-advised
08:16you know uh maybe all these things that Noah's accusing you of maybe you didn't do them
08:22have you thought of that I mean maybe you're the victim
08:26yeah I don't know
08:27it doesn't feel right to me

09:49witness my act of self-defense
09:51son wait a minute
09:54this is
09:55I mean you're not thinking this through
09:57I have thought it through
09:58this is the only way I know that it will be over
10:00there are other ways
10:02yes and they've all failed
10:04every one of them
10:05think about how many times we've had Matt in our hands and he just walks away laughing at us
10:10my family is done being terrified by this man and I'm done failing them
10:15you haven't failed anyone
10:16yes I have
10:18don't you get it
10:19Noah and Sharon that could have died on my watch
10:22my son Christian is being raised by nannies and his cousins and aunts
10:27and Adam and Victoria
10:29they're the ones doing all the heavy lifting getting our family's company back
10:32it's not me dad
10:33I can't save anyone
10:35do you understand?
10:36I can't help anyone
10:37I can't even help myself
10:39and I can't do it anymore
10:41it's gotta stop
10:42I can't do it dad
10:56what happened?
10:57what happened on that yacht is behind us right now I am interested in getting a drink
11:03alright then
11:04please let me
11:06oh no please don't be offended if I insist on buying my own drink
11:09we both know what happened the last time you offered me alcohol on my usual
11:15thanks
11:15you still blame me for that night?
11:19you still believe that I drugged the whiskey
11:21no matter how many times I told you it wasn't me
11:24Jack
11:26what happened to the acceptance
11:28believing that
11:29I have changed
11:30surely you can understand where I have my doubts
11:34but you know what?
11:35who am I to judge?
11:36maybe you are reformed
11:40are you just saying that?
11:42now why would I just say that?
11:43it's not like you're paying for my drink
11:47it must be draining to try so hard to convince everyone that you were genuinely rehabilitated only to be shot
11:54down
11:54yeah and insulted and yelled at and told to leave town
11:59more times than I can count
12:01well you are still here
12:04yeah and I'm gonna prove to you and everyone in this town that I am in my right mind
12:10and that you didn't drug me
12:13I did not
12:16so Victor was responsible
12:18for drugging that whiskey
12:20okay I never said that Victor was the one to arrange for me to be on that boat
12:24but you could say it now
12:27now that we both know it's true
12:34okay
12:38between us
12:40you're right
12:42it was Victor
12:47it's just a stress
12:48you don't have to kill on me
12:49I feel like everything's coming at me from everywhere all at once
12:52but son that's the reason you should abandon this idea of murdering Matt Clark man
12:57come on
12:57this is exactly why I have to do it
13:00I don't have a choice
13:05Nicholas I won't allow it
13:07you just trust me
13:09to handle this
13:10to handle this
13:11you've raised me my whole life to protect this family at any cost and I will do that
13:17I know there's a cost but I would think you more than anyone would understand why I have to do
13:21it
13:25there are other factors you know
13:28what other factors
13:30suddenly you're using drugs
13:39would you talk to Adam?
13:41what do you say?
13:42he's concerned about it
13:45we all are
13:47I have it under control
13:51I just got home
13:52I haven't been able to go to the clinic that Sharon recommended but I'm going to do that
13:57okay I just
13:58I need some time
13:59son I hate drugs
14:02every addict says they have it under control
14:05are you forgetting how much
14:07time I spent with your mother worrying about her
14:10worrying about her addiction
14:11how she's struggling to get over it
14:13you need to pay attention to that
14:16I don't want to lecture
14:21sorry my boy
14:23I don't mean to lecture you
14:25but you're not talking about revenge
14:28you're talking about murder

14:34behind prison walls
14:38how is that good for your family?
14:40to your beautiful children?
14:42you tell me

15:40you don't go around killing people
15:43that won't help your family
15:47that won't help your family
15:58oh good
15:58I'm glad I found you
15:59there's something I need to discuss with you about
16:01I don't have time now
16:03hot date?
16:05I have some place to be
16:06at this hour?
16:07no I'm on a mission to save my own ass
16:10I fired you
16:12you gave me until the end of the week
16:13the same difference
16:14listen all your ideas were lame
16:16they were ridiculous
16:16although I'm wrong
16:18you did have one good idea
16:21really?
16:22which idea was that?
16:23making a deal
16:24that's what I'm gonna do
16:25I'm gonna make a deal
16:27wait
16:29am I hearing you correctly?
16:30you're gonna make a deal
16:32give up Newman Enterprises
16:33to avoid legal repercussions, right?
16:36nooo
16:37no I have something better in mind
16:39ugh
16:41if it involves chicanery
16:43or fleeing the country
16:45or faking your own death again
16:47I'm not interested
16:47no I think you'll be interested in this
16:49I think you will
16:50um
16:51see
16:52I have access to the one thing
16:54that Victor Newman wants
16:56more than anything else in the world
16:59all he has to do is drop the charges to get it
17:04and what would that be?
17:06exactly?
17:07Matt
17:08Clark
17:16you really know where Matt Clark is?
17:19maybe
17:20this is no time to be coy
17:22do you or don't you?
17:25all I'm going to say is
17:27I've seen him and I know how to access him
17:30that's it
17:34after all the hell Clark put the family through for decades
17:40Victor would definitely be interested in doing a deal of some sort
17:44yeah
17:46I know he would
17:47I know he would
17:47this is so great
17:48it's almost too easy
17:50alright
17:50before you get too excited
17:51there's something too easy about this
17:53you mean Victor
17:54you may be amenable to doing a trade
17:57but
17:59who knows if Christine will be willing to drop the charges against you
18:02Oh trust me
18:03I know that Christine would probably want to go after me
18:05but
18:06that just means that Mr. Newman has to work harder at getting his reward
18:12I mean
18:13if he wants Matt Clark as badly as I know he does
18:19he has to do whatever it takes to make sure that these charges against me go bye-bye
18:25and then Christine will just run along
18:30you really know where Matt Clark is
18:33I wouldn't have brought it up if I didn't
18:39this could actually work
18:42alright but Phyllis
18:45I mean it when I say this
18:47I will do the talking
18:52now that wasn't so hard was it?
18:55well if telling you what you want to know
18:58helps you understand that I'm trying to do the right thing then
19:02yeah it's worth it
19:03I assumed Victor paid you
19:06to babysit me on that yacht
19:09well a gal fresh out of lockdown in a mental institution
19:13doesn't really have a lot of job prospects
19:16and you had no choice
19:20guess it was you
19:24alone on the yacht
19:27as a man who I have loved for so long
19:30I would have done it for free Jack
19:34but Victor
19:36and he sweetened the deal with a
19:38nice pink bag of cash
19:41yeah that sounds like Victor
19:43so was there any fine print in that deal you care to share?
19:49no it was simple
19:52spend time with you
19:53that's it
19:56so if
19:59the booze was spiked
20:01it must have been Victor
20:03I certainly didn't do it
20:05what do you mean if the booze was spiked?
20:09I
20:10I don't know
20:12I don't think there was really anything in the past
20:14Patty how can you even say that?
20:16Jack the chemistry
20:17the chemistry the passion
20:19I mean it was everything I remembered from the past
20:24I mean the connection between us
20:26that was a drug in itself
20:28it's all we needed
20:31I am sorry to burst your bubble
20:33but there were drugs involved
20:37I would never
20:40ever
20:40have betrayed Diane
20:42if I weren't under the influence
20:44if you believe otherwise
20:46you are dreaming
21:03Jack?
21:06Hello?
21:11Jack?
21:24there you are
21:26did you get my message?
21:28I did
21:29well I
21:31I meant what I said
21:32I'm ready to find a way forward
21:36I know it's taken me a while to get here
21:40and
21:40I know that I've hurt you
21:43but I'm here now
21:45I love you
21:47Jack
21:48and I
21:49I know what I want
21:51I want us to go back to being as happy as we were before Victor
21:57use Patty
21:57to tear us apart
22:01I just hope that you want that too
22:07please tell me you let us go
22:09please tell me you let us go
22:12I'm at my breaking point
22:14I'm past it
22:15I need this to be over
22:16son you're on drugs
22:20how do you think I feel?
22:22this will be alright
22:24Matt Clark won't get what is due him
22:27trust me I promise you
22:36what the hell it's gonna be this time of night?
22:44Michael Baldwin
22:46and Phyllis are here
22:49you think they wanna negotiate?
22:53I guess we'll see
22:56I got to stick around for that
22:58I got to stick around for that
22:58I got to stick around for that
22:58you think they wanna negotiate?
22:58I don't trust Phyllis to try and do anything but screw this family over.
23:03Yeah.
23:09If you think you were drugged, then I won't argue with you.
23:13You didn't feel anything that night?
23:15I mean, the fire and the spark, absolutely.
23:17No, I'm talking about in terms of being drugged.
23:24Okay, I was a little overheated.
23:27Light-headed.
23:30But I do prefer to believe it was the company I was keeping.
23:39It could have been drugs.
23:43Okay, possibly they played a role in it.
23:51We're talking about acceptance, right?
23:55So I am willing to accept that's what happened.
23:59But you said that night was in the past.
24:06Doesn't sound like it.
24:08It's a process.
24:10And I'm learning the best way to deal with it is to move forward.
24:13Only I can't do that without your help.
24:22You need my help?
24:23Yes.
24:24If you're interested.
24:25Oh, very.
24:28There's just a few things that I need.
24:32Okay, like what?
24:35Well, um, what do I get out of it?
24:40I mean, as fond as I am of you, Jack.
24:43We need to be practical.
24:45And my eternal gratitude might not be enough.
24:48Hmm, as tempting as it sounds.
24:52Oh, no, no, no.
24:55I think you can do better than that.
24:58Perhaps I can.
25:00Remember, it's a work in progress.
25:03Okay.
25:06You tell me what it is you want.
25:10And I'll tell you if it's worth it.
25:14I'm sure we can come up with some sort of arrangement.
25:27Jack, say something, aren't you happy to see me?
25:33You're right.
25:34We need to talk.
25:35Go ahead.
25:36Look, I'm not asking you to apologize to me yet again.
25:41I know how much you regret what happened with Patty.
25:45And I know how hard you've worked to try to get through to me.
25:51I think I just, um, I think I was just letting hurt and anger get in the way of what
25:58really matters.
26:02And that's how much we love each other.
26:04So I think that we can just, um, I think we can put all of it behind us and move
26:11on.
26:12Yeah, I want to move on.
26:14Well, that's all I wanted to hear.
26:16In fact, I already have.
26:20I don't understand.
26:22I sent flowers.
26:24Letters.
26:26A beautiful ring.
26:28Left messages.
26:29Texts.
26:30I poured my heart out.
26:32Begged for your forgiveness.
26:34Pleaded for understanding.
26:36And a second chance.
26:37You ignored all of it.
26:39You shut me out.
26:41Jack, I...
26:42Then you didn't have the kindness to even have a conversation.
26:45What was I supposed to think?
26:47Except you'd shut your heart to me.
26:50No, I'm...
26:51I'm opening my heart to you.
26:55I'm...
26:56I'm here now.
26:56It's...
26:57It's not too late.
26:59I'm sorry.
27:00It is.
27:02No, it can't be.
27:04It is.
27:05I've had time to think.
27:07And I realize, after that night in the yacht, I spent so much time worrying about hurting you
27:13that I spent no time thinking about what I was feeling.
27:17And for whom.
27:19And for whom.
27:28What is she doing in our home?
27:30Oh, my God.
28:25What the hell happened to you?
28:36What the hell happened to you?
28:37Victor Nick!
28:38Thank you for seeing us so late.
28:40You remember of Idolas?
28:44Hopefully late, isn't it?
28:46Does this mean you're ready to return Newman Enterprises to his rightful owner?
28:52What I have to offer you, Victor, will blow your mind.
28:58Close.
29:01What would it be worth to you?
29:04Should we hand it over Matt Clark?
29:20What are you doing here?
29:22And what do you mean, our home?
29:24I have asked Patty to move in here.
29:27You can't be serious.
29:29Jack, she drugged you.
29:31She seduced you.
29:33I led him to the truth that our love is forever.
29:38Written in the stars and reignited that night on Lake Michigan.
29:46No.
29:47No, no, no.
29:48I tried to fight it for a long time.
29:50But Patty's right.
29:51Our love is once in a lifetime.
29:54And it deserves a second chance.
29:58This can't be happening.
29:59It is happening.
30:01Try to accept it.
30:02What?
30:02That the two of you were meant to be together?
30:05That you don't love me anymore?
30:07Never!
30:08Poor Diane.
30:11Makes you wonder if Jack ever really did love you.
30:14Doesn't it?
30:15Jack, please.
30:16You should know that our joy isn't just because we found each other.
30:23There's more?
30:25You might want to brace yourself.
30:33As you well know, my life has been pure hell since our night on that yacht.
30:38Diane won't talk to me.
30:39Hell, she won't even look at me.
30:42She has squashed every effort I have made to connect with her.
30:46And with each passing day, any hope of a reconciliation is increasingly unlikely.
30:52I know how much you think you love her.
30:56Sorry, how much you love her.
30:59Even though she doesn't deserve you.
31:01Okay, you know, maybe this is over.
31:03Jack, I'm sorry.
31:04I'm sorry.
31:04I'm just...
31:05Please, I'm a little confused.
31:08If you want to be with that cold fish of a wife so badly,
31:14I mean, if that's your idea of moving forward, then why do you need my help?
31:18It makes no sense.
31:19Because this isn't about Diane.
31:22This is about Victor.
31:27You're talking about revenge.
31:29If Victor's actions have cost me the woman I love, I am going to make damn sure he loses the
31:36love of his life.
31:38If it's the last thing I do.
31:42Are you telling me you have Matt Clark?
31:47Would you be interested if we did?
31:49You know damn well we'd be interested in that.
31:51But I highly doubt you have him.
31:53This reeks of desperation.
31:54No, he says it.
31:55I'm hardly desperate, Nick.
31:57Hardly.
31:58In fact, I know exactly where he is.
32:00Given the...
32:01I know exactly...
32:02I'm not playing games with you.
32:04Not only do I know where Matt Clark is, but I have him on ice.
32:08Kill us.
32:09Yeah, I have him on ice.
32:10All you have to do, if you want him, is drop the charges against me.
32:16Drop them.
32:17Get Christine to do it.
32:18I don't care what you do.
32:20Threaten her.
32:20Sweet talk her.
32:22Just do it.
32:23And I will deliver Matt Clark at your feet.
32:30Do we have a deal?
32:55What more insanity could there possibly be?
32:59I really don't appreciate your choice of words.
33:04But, Jack and I, we have been blessed with yet another miracle.
33:11Our child.
33:12What child?
33:14There's no child.
33:15Of course there's a child, Diane.
33:18The one that you took so many years ago.
33:20You miscarried.
33:22When I saw you and Jack tangled in each other's eyes, I was shocked.
33:30I was devastated.
33:35But then it turns out, that child, the embodiment of our love, is very much alive.
33:44Alright, that is impossible.
33:47Nothing is impossible when there is love.
33:51Oh, and after all those years, we found our long lost daughter, just like we found each other.
34:01And now?
34:03We get to be the family that we were always meant to be.
34:08Before you ruined everything.
34:11You know what?
34:12You are, you are even crazier than I ever thought you were.
34:17I mean, Jack, come on, please tell me that you're not, you're not falling for whatever this is.
34:28Oh, that is our daughter.
34:31And I'm sure she would be happy to meet you.
34:35Before Jack and I throw you out.
34:41Jack, please.
34:43This is all wrong.
34:45Please don't do this to us.
34:46I know, I know that you still love me.
34:50Goodbye, Diane.
34:53Jack!
34:55Jack!
35:04Look at you.
35:06Going all Old Testament on Victor's ass.
35:10I want that man to know what real pain is.
35:13And the loss of Nicky is the only thing that's gonna bring him to his knees for good.
35:19I thought Nicky was your friend.
35:21You don't care if you hurt her?
35:22I wouldn't be hurting her.
35:24I would be saving her from that emotional vampire that is Victor Newman.
35:29A wife for a wife.
35:31It sounds like you think Diane isn't coming back to you.
35:35I have not given up hope of a future with Diane, but it may not be my decision.
35:45Jack, I'm sorry you're in so much pain.
35:49Are you?
35:50Yes, I am.
35:53I care about you.
35:56I don't like seeing you unhappy.
35:58Then help me get my revenge against Victor.
36:04Yes.
36:06What?
36:07Friends, almost.
36:09I mean, at least not enemies.
36:12It's giving me a tiny little bit of hope that you are starting to see me in a different light.
36:20Don't get carried away.
36:22But if you agree to help me, it would go a long way toward changing how I feel about you.
36:33Who was that guy?
36:36Why was he attacking me?
36:40Think, think, think.
36:42Think.
36:45Just...
36:53I can't remember anything.
36:57No, wait a minute.
36:58I was under the impression that you weren't afraid of the new DA or the charges brought against you.
37:04What changed your mind?
37:06What happened?
37:06My client simply wants to spare the public the expense of a long, drawn-out trial.
37:11And do you a great favor at the same time.
37:14Oh, go to hell with your favors.
37:16She's just afraid she's going to prison where she belongs.
37:19Look, if we look at this objectively, you get what you want.
37:22Phyllis gets what she wants.
37:24Everybody wins.
37:25She's playing with people's lives.
37:27Aw, come on, Nick.
37:28I'm just offering you solutions.
37:30You're just trying to save your own ass.
37:32We come in peace, Nick.
37:33Do we have a deal or not?
37:36You have a deal?
37:39If you've returned Newman Enterprises to me as well.
37:42Nope, that was not a part of my offer.
37:44That's not part of the discussion.
37:46You return Matt Clark and Newman Enterprises.
37:50Take it or leave it.
37:52No, it's your move.
