02:47I
02:47Got your text
02:48Asking me to stop by
02:49Do we have news about Matt?
02:50Did we find him?
02:52No, nothing
02:53Nothing new in the matter
02:56Okay
02:57Something about Newman then?
02:59No, nothing
03:01Alright, then what's up?
03:03I
03:04Talked to your brother earlier
03:06He
03:07Told me that you intend to
03:09Dispose of Matt Clark
03:11Once he's been located
03:13You're damn right I'm gonna do that
03:16Watching that son of a bitch die right in front of me is the only way I know this nightmare
03:19ends
03:20So have you thought this through?
03:22And dispose of them, you know what that means?
03:25I
03:25Forbid
03:26It
03:46You've reached Jack Abbott
03:47Name a message, I'll get back to you
03:50Uh
03:52Hi
03:52It's
03:53Um
03:53It's me
03:55I
03:55Um
03:56Well, I haven't stopped feeling
03:58Uh
03:59Hurt
04:00Or
04:01Angry
04:02Or
04:03Or confused
04:04But
04:04Um
04:05Jack, I really
04:07Want to find a way to move forward
04:09Um
04:11I
04:11Thought that maybe I could come by the house in a little bit and
04:15And we could talk
04:16Oh
04:17Oh my goodness
04:20I
04:20Love you
04:21Jack
04:23And I
04:24I know that you love me
04:25And I'm
04:26I'm just really hoping that's all that matters
04:32You want to have a drink with me?
04:35Unless you'd rather be alone
04:36No, no
04:37No, no, it's just
04:39The last time I saw you
04:45Are you gonna accuse me of something or tell me I have to leave town or tell me that I
04:50am the same old crazy me
04:51Top of my list, no
04:54And the chair is all yours
04:57Thanks
05:01Bad day?
05:02More of the same
05:08Everywhere I turn everyone is in my face about the horrible things I did in the past
05:15Confusing to believe that I've changed
05:18That is why you came back
05:19To prove yourself right?
05:22Nobody said it was gonna be easy
05:23Yeah, well some days are more difficult than others
05:30It's all the hate in this town
05:32I mean, it's hard to trust when someone is actually trying to be nice
05:36Like right now, I really don't even know what to do with this chair
05:39I say accept it
05:42I would like to, but you have been playing hard to get, Jack
05:47Even though I have nothing but love for you
05:51I'm just a little confused as to why you suddenly decided to be civil with me
05:58Well, maybe that's because I've been fighting battles on seemingly every front myself
06:05And avoiding you or attacking you when I do see you has not been serving me
06:10Maybe it's time
06:12For me to accept that
06:14You are here
06:15Here in Genoa City
06:17To stay
06:19And 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
06:37Enjoy yourself
06:39Yeah, I know it's sleep
06:41But maybe I'll wander around for a little bit
06:42No, no, no, no
06:44What do you mean no?
06:45No, that's a terrible idea
06:47Why is that a terrible idea?
06:48Well, you yourself said that people are after you, correct?
06:51Yeah, I did say that
06:52That might be the case
06:53Yeah, so
06:56Take a load off
06:58You know, just to enjoy this
07:00This great room
07:03That little dude, Noah, who hates me
07:05He said that I tortured his parents
07:08That I tried to kill them in an explosion in Las Vegas
07:10You think I remember something like that, right?
07:15Am I an awful person?
07:18No
07:19I mean, I don't
07:21I don't think so
07:23You know, all the more reason
07:24You should just
07:25Just stay here and relax
07:28It's hard for me to relax
07:29There's somebody out there
07:30I don't even know him and he
07:31He hates me, he thinks I'm some kind of a monster
07:35Yeah, you know, I'm gonna clear a couple things up for you
07:40That little dude, Noah, and his dad and his grandfather, they're Newmans
07:46They're Newmans?
07:48Yeah
07:50Why are you looking at me? That means something
07:54What? What does that mean?
07:55Yeah, they're a powerful family
07:58I know them
07:59You know them?
08:01That's great, can we go see them?
08:03No
08:03We can start this whole thing out, I can make amends
08:06No
08:09It's very lovely, but you're not doing that
08:12It's ill-advised
08:13Why is it ill-advised?
08:16You know, 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
08:30Yeah, I'm sure it doesn't
08:36They're not good people
08:38The Newmans
08:39You don't think they're gonna find me here, do you?
08:42No, they won't find you here
08:45Everything is registered under my name, so
08:51Here is my phone number
08:54And my room number
08:55I'm three floors above you
09:01Okay
09:03Thank you
09:04Sure
09:05Phyllis, I've been really lost with all this and feeling very alone
09:10And it's really nice for me to have you by my side, so thank you
09:16You don't have to say thank you to me, I'm happy to do it
09:20Phyllis, do you think we could have some breakfast tomorrow?
09:23Uh, yeah, let's do that
09:26Let's have some breakfast
09:28Yeah
09:31Good night
09:32Good night
09:37I have a plan
09:40What plan?
09:43Once we find Matt
09:45I'm gonna confront him into attacking me and then I'll have Detective Burrow with me and he'll be able to
09:49witness my act of self-defense
09:51Son, wait a minute
09:54This is, I mean you're not thinking this through
09:57I have thought it through, this is the only way I know that it will be over
10:00There are other ways
10:02Yes, and they've all failed
10:03Every 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?
10:20Noah 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, do 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
10:59Right now, I am interested in getting a drink
11:03Alright, then please let me
11:06No, 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
11:13My usual
11:14Thanks
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, what happened to the acceptance of believing that
11:29I have changed
11:30Surely you can understand where I have my doubts
11:34But you know what, who am I to judge, Rhett?
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 for 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, you know, it's killing 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
13:07Will you just trust me
13:09To handle this?
13:11You've raised me my whole life to protect this family at any cost
13:15And I will do that
13:17I know there's a cost
13:18But I would think you more than anyone would understand why I have to do it
13:25There are other factors you know
13:28What other factors?
13:30Son, you're using drugs
13:39Would 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
13:52I haven't been able to go
13:54To the clinic that Sharon recommended
13:56But I'm gonna do that, okay?
13:57I just...
13:58I need some time
13:59Son, I hate drugs
14:01I hate drugs
14:01I hate drugs
14:02I hate drugs
14:02Every addict says they have it under control
14:05Are you forgetting how much time 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
14:31You know what that means?
14:32You spend the rest of your life
14:35Behind prison walls
14:38How is that good for your family?
14:40To your beautiful children?
14:42You tell me
14:44Him dying is the only way I know that this will be over
14:46Your family will survive
14:48And they will thrive, okay?
14:53I don't understand
15:03My boy
15:08I may not be around much longer, you know?
15:13All this, my company, this family, this house, go to you
15:21You're the heir apparent
15:23You take over for me
15:26They look to you for guidance
15:29How can you give it to them when you're behind prison walls?
15:33You tell me
15:36You abandon this idea
15:40You don't go around killing people
15:43That won't help your family
15:45That won't help your family
15:47And it will help me
15:58Oh good!
15:59I'm glad I found you
15:59There's something I need to discuss with you about
16:01I don't have time now
16:04Hot 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
16:13It was the same difference
16:14Listen, all your writers 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?
16:25That'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 to 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
16:52See, I have access to the one thing that Victor 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
17:34After 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
17:47This is so great
17:48It's almost too easy
17:50All right
17:50Now before you get too excited
17:51There's something too easy about this
17:54Victor
17:55You 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
18:07That just means that Mr. Newman has to work harder at getting his reward
18:12I mean, if 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
18:30Do you really know where Matt Clark is?
18:33I wouldn't have brought it up if I didn't
18:39This could actually work
18:42All right, 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
19:04I 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 yachts?
19:27He's a man who I have loved for so long
19:30I would have done it for free, Jack
19:34But Victor
19:36And he sweetened the deal with a nice 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, that's it
19:56So, if the booze was spiked, it must have been Victor
20:03I certainly didn't do it
20:05What do you mean, if the booze was spiked?
20:09I...
20:11I 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, that 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
20:40EVER
20:40Have betrayed Diane if 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
21:25Did you get my message?
21:28I did
21:30Well, I...
21:31I meant what I said
21:32I'm...
21:33I'm ready to find a way forward
21:36I...
21:36I know it's taken me a while to get here
21:40And...
21:41I 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
21:56Use Patty to tear us apart
22:01I 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
22:16Son, you're on drugs
22:20How do you think I feel?
22:22This will be alright
22:24Matt Tark will get what is due him
22:27Trust me, I promise you
22:36I know
22:36I know
22:36It's probably this time of night
22:43Michael Baldwin
22:46And Phyllis are here
22:47Michael Baldwin
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 but screw this family over
23:03Yeah
23:09If you think you were drunk then I won't argue with you
23:12You 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'm...
23:25I was a little overheated
23:28Lightheaded
23:30But I do prefer to believe it was the company I was keeping
23:39It could have been Trump
23:41Uh huh
23:43Okay, possibly
23:45They played a role in it
23:48Thank you
23:51We're talking about acceptance, right?
23:54So 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
24:07It'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
24:22You need my help?
24:23Yes
24:24If you're interested
24:25Oh very
24:28There's just a few things that I...
24:31I need
24:31Okay, like what?
24:36Well, um...
24:38What do I get out of it?
24:40I mean, as fond as I am of you, Jack
24:43I need to be practical
24:45And my eternal gratitude might not be enough
24:48Hmm, as tempting as it sounds
24:52No, no, no
24:55I think you can do better than that
24:57Perhaps I can
25:00Remember, it's a work in progress
25:03Okay
25:04Okay
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
25:26Jack
25:28Say something, aren't...
25:31Aren't you happy to see me?
25:33You're right, we need to talk, go ahead
25:36Look, I'm not asking you to apologize to me yet again
25:41I 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...
25:53I think I was just letting hurt and anger
25:57get in the way of what 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...
26:10Move on
26:12Yeah, I wanna 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, texts
26:30I poured my heart out
26:32Begged for your forgiveness
26:35Pleaded 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 shut your heart to me
26:51No, I'm...
26:51I'm opening my heart to you
26:55I'm... I'm here now
26:56It's... it's not too late
26:59I'm sorry it is
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
27:17And for whom
27:18And for whom...
27:20It is...
27:21It is...
27:24Finally...
27:28What is she doing in our home?
27:31Home?
27:34Home?
27:35Home?
27:37Home?
27:39Home?
27:41Home?
27:50Home?
28:01Home?
28:25What the hell happened to you?
28:36Victor Nick!
28:38Thank you for seeing us so late.
28:40You remember Ovalos?
28:44Awfully late, 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.
28:58Of course.
29:01What would it be worth to you?
29:04Should we hand it over Matt Clark?
29:20What are you doing here?
29:21And what do you mean, our home?
29:24I have asked Patty to move in here.
29:27You can't be serious. Jack, she drugged you. She seduced you.
29:32I led him to the truth that our love is forever. Written in the stars and reignited that night on
29:45Lake Michigan.
29:46No. No, no, no.
29:48I tried to fight it for a long time. But Patty's right. Our love is once in a lifetime. And
29:54it deserves a second chance.
29:58This can't be happening.
30:00This can't be happening.
30:00It is happening. Try to accept it.
30:02What? That the two of you were meant to be together? That you don't love me anymore? Never!
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. There's more? You might want to brace
30:27yourself.
30:33As you well know, my life has been pure hell since our night on that yacht. Diane won't talk to
30:39me. Hell, she won't even look at me.
30:42She has squashed every effort I have made to connect with her. And with each passing day, any hope of
30:49a reconciliation is increasingly unlikely.
30:52I know how much you think you love her. Sorry. How much you love her. Even though she doesn't deserve
31:01you.
31:01Okay. You know, maybe this is over.
31:03Jack, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm just... Please, I'm a little confused.
31:08If you want to be with that cold fish of a wife so badly, I mean, if that's your idea
31:15of moving forward, then why do you need my help? It makes no sense.
31:19Because this isn't about Diane. This 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. If 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. But I highly doubt you have him. This reeks of desperation.
31:55No, does it? I'm hardly desperate, Nick. Hardly. In fact, I know exactly where he is.
32:00I'm not playing games with you. Not only do I know where Matt Clark is, but I have him on
32:08ice.
32:09Yeah, I have him on ice. All you have to do, if you want him, is drop the charges against
32:15me. Drop them. Get Christine to do it.
32:18I don't care what you do. Threaten her. Sweet talk her. Just do it. And I will deliver Matt Clark
32:27at your feet. Do we have a deal?
32:38Come on, guys.
32:55What more insanity could there possibly be? I really don't appreciate your choice of words. But, Jack and I...
33:06We have been blessed with yet another miracle. Our child. What child? There's no child.
33:15Of course there's a child, Diane. The one that you took so many years ago. You miscarried.
33:22When I saw you and Jack tangled in each other's arms. I was shocked. I was devastated.
33:35But then it turns out, that child, the embodiment of our love, is very much alive.
33:44All right, that is impossible. Nothing is impossible when there is love. Oh, and after all those years, we found
33:57our long-lost daughter just like we found each other.
34:01And now...
34:03And now...
34:03We get to be the family that we were always meant to be. Before you ruined everything.
34:12You know what? You 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. And I'm sure she would be happy to meet you. Before Jack and I throw
34:36you out.
34:41Jack, please. This is all wrong. Please don't do this to us. I know... I know that you still love
34:48me.
34:48You still love me. Goodbye, Diane.
34:53Jack! Jack!
35:03Look at you. Going all Old Testament on Victor's ass.
35:10I want that man to know what real pain is. And the loss of Nicky is the only thing that's
35:16going to bring him to his knees for good.
35:19I thought Nicky was your friend. You don't care if you hurt her?
35:22I wouldn't be hurting her. I would be saving her from that emotional vampire that is Victor Newman.
35:28A wife for a wife. Sounds like you think Diane isn't coming back to you.
35:35I have not given up hope of a future with Diane, but...
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.
36:04Look at us.
36:06What?
36:07Friends, almost. I 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,
36:25it would go a long way toward changing how I feel about you.
36:33Who was that guy?
36:37Why was he attacking me?
36:40Think, think, think.
36:42Think, think.
36:43Think, just...
36:53Why can't I remember anything?
36:57Now, 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? What 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,
37:21you get what you want, Phyllis gets what she wants, everybody wins.
37:25She's playing with people's lives.
37:27Aw, come on, Nick. I'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 returned Matt Clark and Newman Enterprises.
37:50Take it or leave it.
37:52No, it's your move.
37:53No, it's not a part of me.
37:55I'm sorry.
37:59To be continued...
38:00No.
