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 so 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
08:06no
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

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
10:02and 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 they'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 on that yacht is behind us right now
11:00I am interested in getting a drink
11:03alright
11:04then
11:04please let me
11:06oh no please
11:06don't be offended if I insist on buying my own drink
11:09we both know
11:10what happened the last time you offered me alcohol
11:13on my usual
11:14thanks
11:15you still blame me
11:17for that night
11:18you still believe that I drugged the whiskey
11:21no matter how many times I told you it wasn't me
11:24Jack
11:25what 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
11:48to try so hard
11:49to convince everyone
11:50that you were genuinely rehabilitated
11:53only to be shot down
11:54yeah and insulted
11:55and yelled at
11:56and 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
12:06and everyone in this town
12:08that I am in my right mind
12:10and that you didn't drug me
12:12I did not
12:16so Victor was responsible
12:18for drugging that whiskey
12:20okay I never said that Victor was the one
12:22to 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
12:51from everywhere all at once
12:52but son
12:53that's the reason you should
12:54abandon this idea of murdering
12:56Matt 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
13:12you've raised me my whole life
13:13to protect this family
13:14at any cost
13:15and I will do that
13:17I know there's a cost
13:18but I would think
13:19you more than anyone
13:20would understand
13:20why I have to do it
13:25there are other factors you know
13:28what other factors?
13:30suddenly you're using drugs
13:37suddenly you're using drugs
13:38would you talk to Adam?
13:41what'd he say?
13:42he's concerned about it
13:45we all are
13:47I have it under control
13:51I just got home
13:53I haven't been able to go
13:54to the clinic

14:10worrying about her addiction

16:05I have some place to be
16:06at this hour?
16:07no I'm on a mission
16:08to save my own ass
16:10I fired you
16:11uh
16:12you gave me until the end of the week
16:13the same difference
16:14listen
16:14all your ideas were lame
16:16they were ridiculous
16:16although I'm wrong
16:18you
16:18you
16:19you did have one good idea
16:21really?
16:22which idea was that?
16:23um
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
16:35right?
16:36no
16:36no
16:37no I have something better in mind
16:39ugh
16:41if it involves
16:43chicanery
16:43or
16:44fleeing 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 that
16:55Victor Newman wants more 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
17:06Matt
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 I've seen him and I know how to access him
17:30that's it
17:33after 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
17:45I know he would
17:47this is so great
17:48it's almost too easy
17:50alright
17:50now before you get too excited
17:51there's nothing too easy about this
17:53Victor
17:54may 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
18:07that just means that
18:08Mr. Newman has to work harder at getting his reward
18:12I mean
18:13if he wants Matt Clark
18:16as 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
18:49hmm
18:52now that wasn't so hard was it?
18:55well if telling you what you want to know
18:59helps 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
19:14doesn't really have a lot of job prospects
19:16and you had no choice
19:20guess it was you
19:24alone on the yacht
19:27he's a man who I have loved for so long
19:30I would have done it for free Jack
19:34but Victor
19:36maybe sweetened the deal with a
19:39nice 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 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
20:23I mean the connection between us
20:26that was a drug in itself
20:28it's all we needed
20:30I am sorry to burst your bubble
20:33but there were drugs involved
20:37I would never
20:39ever
20:41have betrayed Diane
20:42if I weren't under the influence
20:44if you believe otherwise
20:46you are dreaming
21:03Jack?
21:06Hello?
21:10Jack?
21:23There you are
21:25did 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 I know that I've hurt you
21:43but I'm here now
21:45I love you Jack
21:48and I know what I want
21:51I want us to go back to being as happy as we were before Victor
21:57use Patty
21:57use Patty to tear us apart
22:01I just hope that you want that too
22:03I just hope that you want that too
22:07please tell me you let this go
22:12I'm at my breaking point
22:14I'm past it
22:15I need this to be over
22:16your son
22:17you're on drugs
22:20how do you think I feel?
22:22this will be alright
22:24Matt Clark will get what is due him
22:27trust me I promise you
22:36it's probably this time of night
22:43Michael Baldwin
22:46and Phyllis are here
22:49you think they want to negotiate?
22:53I guess we'll see
22:56well I gotta stick around for that
22:59I don't trust Phyllis to try and do anything
23:01but screw this family over
23:03yeah
23:09if you think you were drugged
23:11then I won't argue with you
23:12you didn't feel anything that night
23:15I mean the fire and the spark absolutely
23:17I'm talking about in terms of being drugged
23:23okay
23:24it was a little overheated
23:28lightheaded
23:30but I do prefer to
23:33believe it was the company I was keeping
23:39it could have been Trump
23:43okay
23:43possibly
23:45they played a role in it
23:48thank you
23:51we're talking about acceptance right?
23:55so I am willing to accept that's what happened
23:59but you said that night
24:03was 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
24:12is to move forward
24:14only I can't do that
24:16without your help
24:21you need my help?
24:23yes
24:23if you're interested
24:25oh very
24:27there's just a few things that I
24:30I need
24:31okay like what?
24:35well
24:37um
24:38what do I get out of it?
24:40I'm as fond as I am of you Jack
24:43we need to be practical
24:45and my eternal gratitude might not be enough
24:48as tempting as it sounds
24:53no no no
24:55I think you can do better than that
24:57perhaps I can
25:00remember
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
25:17sort of arrangement
25:26Jack
25:28say something
25:30aren't
25:31aren't you happy to see me?
25:33you're right we need to talk
25:35go ahead
25:36look I'm not asking you to apologize to me
25:40yet again I know
25:43I 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
25:52I think I was just letting hurt
25:55and anger
25:57get in the way of what
25:58what really matters
26:02and that's how much we love each other
26:04so I
26:04I think that we can just um
26:07I think we can put all of it behind us
26:09and move on
26:12yeah I want to move on
26:14well that's all I wanted to hear
26:16in fact
26:17I already have
26:20I don't understand
26:21I sent flowers
26:24letters
26:26a beautiful ring
26:27left 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
26:42and you didn't have the kindness to even have a conversation
26:45what was I supposed to think except
26:48you'd shut your heart to me
26:50no I'm
26:51I'm opening my heart to you

27:02no it can't be
27:04it is
27:05I've had time to think
27:06and I realize
27:08after that night in the yacht
27:10I spent so much time worrying about hurting you
27:13that I spent no time
27:14thinking about what I was feeling

28:40You remember Of Adalice?
28:44Of Adalice, isn't it?
28:47Does this mean you're ready to return Newman Enterprises to his rightful owner?
28:53What I have to offer you, Victor, will blow your mind.
28:57Of course.
29:01What would it be worth to you if we handed 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.
29:32I led him to the truth that our love is forever.
29:38Written in the stars and reignited that night on Lake Michigan.
29:46No, no, no, no.
29:48I tried to fight it for a long time, but Patty's right.
29:51Our love is once in a lifetime, and it deserves a second chance.
29:58This can't be happening.
30:00It 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.
30:10Makes you wonder if Jack ever really did love you, doesn'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.
30:57How 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,
31:17then why do you need my help?
31:18Because 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,
31:33I am going to make damn sure he loses the love of his life.
31:38If it's the last thing I do.
31:42Are you telling me...
31:45you have met that?
31:47Would you be interested if we did?
31:48You know damn well we'd be interested in that.
31:51But I highly doubt you have him.
31:53This reeks of desperation.
31:55No, does it?
31:55I'm hardly desperate, Nick.
31:57Hardly.
31:58In fact, I know exactly where he is.
32:00I know exactly...
32:02I'm not playing games with you.
32:04Not only do I know where Matt Clark is,
32:07but I have him on ice.
32:08Do this.
32:09Yeah, I have him on ice.
32:11All you have to do, if you want him,
32:14is drop the charges against me.
32:16Drop them.
32:17Get Christine to do it.
32:18I don't care what you do.
32:19Threaten 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.
33:03But, Jack and I,
33:07we have been blessed with yet another miracle.
33:11Our child.
33:13What 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
33:25tangled in each other's arms,
33:29I was shocked.
33:31I was devastated.
33:35But then it turns out,
33:37that child,
33:39the embodiment of our love,
33:42is very much alive.
33:44All right, that is impossible.
33:47Nothing is impossible when there is love.
33:52Oh, and after all those years,
33:56we found our long-lost daughter,
33:59just like we found each other.
34:01And now,
34:03we get to be the family
34:05that we were always meant to be.
34:08before you ruined everything.
34:12You know what?
34:12You are,
34:13you are even crazier
34:15than I ever thought you were.
34:17I mean, Jack,
34:18come on,
34:19please tell me that you're not,
34:20you're not falling for whatever this is.
34:26Oh,
34:29that 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,
34:47I know that you still love me.
34:50Goodbye, Diane.
34:51I know that you still love me.
34:53Jack!
34:55Jack!
34:58Oh.
35:01Oh.
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
35:15that's going to bring him to his knees for good.
35:18I 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
35:25from that emotional vampire
35:27that is Victor Newman.
35:29A wife for a wife.
35:31It sounds like you think
35:33Diane isn't coming back to you.
35:35I have not given up hope
35:37of a future with Diane,
35:38but
35:41it may not be my decision.
35:45Jack, I'm sorry you're in so much pain.
35:49Are you?
35:51Yes, 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.
36:12It's giving me a tiny little bit of hope
36:15that you are starting to see me
36:17in a different light.
36:20Don't get carried away.
36:22But if you agree to help me,
36:25it would go a long way
36:27toward 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...
36:53Why can't I remember anything?
36:57Now, wait a minute.
36:58I was under the impression
36:59that you weren't afraid
37:00of the new DA
37:02or the charges brought against you.
37:04What changed your mind?
37:06What happened?
37:06My client simply wants to spare the public
37:09the 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
37:17she's going to prison
37:18where she belongs.
37:19Look, if we look at this objectively,
37:21you 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
37:40new Menendipros 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
37:48and Newman Enterprises.
37:50Take it or leave it.
37:52No, it's your move.
