02:47I got your text asking me to stop by do we have news about Matt did we find him
02:52no nothing nothing new in the matter okay something like Newman then no okay all right then what's up
03:03I talked to your brother earlier he told me that you intend to dispose of Matt Clark once he's been
03:12located you damn right I'm gonna do that watching that son of a bitch die right in front of me
03:18is
03:18the only way I know this nightmare ends so now have you thought this through and dispose you know what
03:24that means I forbid it
03:45you've reached Jack Abbott name a message I'll get back to you
03:49uh hi it's um it's me I am well I haven't stopped feeling uh hurt or angry or or confused
04:04but um Jack I
04:06really want to find a way to move forward um I thought that maybe I could come by the house
04:13in a
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 hoping
04:28that's all that matters you want to have a drink with me unless you'd rather be alone no no no
04:37no it's just
04:40the last time I saw you are you gonna accuse me of something or tell me I have to leave
04:48town or tell me
04:49that I am the same old no it's top of my list no and the chair is all yours thanks
05:01bad day 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
05:23be easy yeah well some days are more difficult than others it's all the hate this town it's hard to
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
06:42no no no what do you mean no no that's a terrible idea why is that it's her well you
06:48yourself said that
06:50people are after you correct yeah I did say that that might be the case yeah so just take a
06:57load off
06:58you know just to enjoy this this great room that little dude Noah who hates me he said that I
07:06tortured
07:06his parents that I tried to kill them in an explosion in Las Vegas you think I remember something like
07:13that right am I an awful person no I mean I don't I don't think so you know all the
07:24more reason you
07:25should just just stay here and relax it's hard for me to relax there's somebody out there I don't even
07:30know him and he he hates me he thinks I'm some kind of a monster yeah you know I'm gonna
07:36clear a couple
07:37things up for you uh that that little dude Noah and uh his dad and his grandfather they're newmans
07:47they're newmans yeah why are you looking at me that that means something
07:53what yeah they're they're they're a powerful family um I know them you know them that's great
08:02can we go see them no we can start this whole thing out I can make amends no
08:07uh that's very lovely but you're not doing that it's ill-advised why 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 it doesn't feel right to me yeah I'm sure it doesn't
08:36they're not good people the newmans you don't think they're gonna find me here do you no they won't
08:44find you here everything is registered under my name so here is my phone number and my room number
08:55I'm three floors above you okay thank you sure Phyllis um I've been really lost with all this and
09:08feeling very alone and 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 Phyllis do you think we could
09:21have some
09:21breakfast tomorrow uh yeah let's do that let's have some breakfast yeah good night good night
09:38I have a plan what plan once we find that I'm gonna confront him into attacking me and I'll have
09:48detective Burrow with me and he'll be able to witness my act of self-defense son wait a minute
09:54this is I mean you're not thinking this through I have thought it through this is the only way I
09:59know
09:59that it will be over there are other ways yes and they've all failed every one of them think about
10:06how many times we've had Matt in our hands and he just walks away laughing at us my family is
10:11done
10:12being terrified by this man and I'm done failing them you haven't failed anyone yes I have don't
10:19you get it no one Sharon that could have died on my watch my son Christian is being raised by
10:25nannies
10:25and his cousins and aunts and Adam and Victoria they're the ones doing all the heavy lifting getting
10:31our family's company back it's not me dad I can't save anyone do you understand I can't help anyone I
10:37I can't even help myself and I can't do it anymore it's gotta stop I can't do it dad
10:56what happened on that yacht is behind us right now I am interested in getting a drink
11:03all right please let me oh no please don't be offended if I insist on buying my own drink we
11:09both know what happened the last time you offered me alcohol on my usual thanks you still blame me
11:17for that night you still believe that I drugged the whiskey no matter how many times I told you it
11:23wasn't me Jack what happened to the acceptance believing that I have changed surely you can
11:31understand where I have my doubts but you know what who am I to judge that maybe you are performed
11:40are you just saying that now why would I just say that it'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
11:53only to be shot down yeah and insulted and yelled at and told to leave town more times than I
12:00can count
12:01well you are still here yeah and I'm gonna prove to you and everyone in this town that I am
12:09in my right
12:10and that you didn't drug me I did not so Victor was responsible for drugging that whiskey okay I never
12:21said that Victor was the one to arrange for me to be on that boat but you could say it
12:26now now that we
12:28both know is true okay between us you're right it was Victor it's just a stress you know it's killing
12:49me I feel
12:50like everything's coming at me from everywhere all at once but son that's the reason you should abandon
12:55this idea of murdering Matt's up man come on this is exactly why I have to do it I don't
13:00have a choice
13:05Nicholas I won't allow it you just trust me to handle this you've raised me my whole life to protect
13:14this family at any cost and I will do that I know there's a cost but I would think you
13:19more than
13:20anyone would understand why I have to do it there are other factors you know what other factors suddenly
13:31you're using drugs would you talk to Adam what do you say he's concerned about we all are I have
13:48it under
13:48control I just got home I haven't been able to go to the clinic that Sharon recommended but I'm gonna
13:57do that okay I just I need some time son I hate drugs every addict says they have it under
14:04control are
14:05you forgetting how much time I spent with your mother worrying about her worrying about her addiction how she's
14:12struggling to get over it you need to pay attention to that I don't want a lecture
14:21sorry my boy I don't mean to lecture you but you're not talking about revenge you're talking about murder
14:31you know what that means you spend the rest of your life behind prison walls
14:38how is that good for your family to your beautiful children you tell me him dying is the only way
14:45I know
14:46that this will be over your family will survive and they will thrive okay I 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 you 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
15:46and it will help me
15:58oh good I'm glad I found you there'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
16:11uh you gave me until the end of the week
16:13it was the same difference listen all your ideas were lame they were ridiculous
16:16although I'm wrong
16:18you you you did have one good idea
16:21really?
16:22which idea was that?
16:23um making a deal that's what I'm gonna do I'm gonna make a deal
16:27wait
16:28am I hearing you correctly you're gonna make a deal
16:32give up Newman Enterprises to avoid legal repercussions right?
16:36no
16:36oh no I have something better in mind
16:39ugh
16:41if it involves chicanery or fleeing the country or faking your own death again I'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 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 exactly?
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 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
17:51if there's something too easy about this
17:53I 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
18:07that just means that Mr. Newman
18:09has to work harder at getting his reward
18:12I mean if he wants Matt Clark
18:15as badly as I know he does
18:19he has to do whatever it takes
18:21to 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
18:42all 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
19:01then yeah 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
19:12in 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
19:27he'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
19:38nice pink bag of cash
19:41that sounds like Victor
19:43so was there any fine print in that deal
19:47you 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 whiskey
20:14Patty how can you even say that
20:16Jack the chemistry
20:17the chemistry
20:19the 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
20:27it's all we needed
20:30I am sorry to burst your bubble
20:33but there were drugs involved
20:37I would never
20:39ever
20:40have betrayed Diane
20:42if I weren't under the influence
20:44if you believe otherwise
20:46you are dreaming
21:03Jack
21:06hello

21:33I'm ready
21:34to find a way forward

21:57to tear us apart
22:01I just hope that you want that too

22:11I'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
22:24that talk will get
22:26what is due him
22:27trust me
22:28I 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
23:00to 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
23:14that night
23:15I mean the fire
23:16and the spark
23:17absolutely
23:17no I'm talking about
23:19in terms of being drugged
23:23okay
23:24I'm
23:25it was a little overheated
23:28lightheaded
23:30but um
23:31I do prefer to
23:33believe it was the company
23:35I was keeping
23:39it could have been
23:41drugs
23:43okay
23:43possibly
23:45they played a role
23:47in it
23:48thank you
23:51we're talking about
23:52acceptance right
23:55so I am willing
23:56to accept
23:57that's
23:58what happened
23:59but
24:00you said
24:01that night
24:03was in the past
24:06doesn't sound like it
24:07it's
24:08a process
24:10and I'm learning
24:11the best way to deal with it
24:12is to move
24:13forward
24:14only
24:14I 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
24:30that I
24:30I need
24:31okay
24:32like what
24:35well
24:36um
24:38what do I get out of it
24:40I'm as fond as I am
24:42of you Jack
24:43we need to be practical
24:45and my eternal gratitude
24:47might 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 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
25:34we need to talk
25:35go ahead
25:36look
25:37I'm not asking you
25:38to apologize
25:39to me
25:40yet again
25:41I know
25:43I know how much you regret
25:44what happened with Patty
25:45and I know how hard you've worked
25:47to try to get through to me
25:51I think I just
25:52um
25:52I think I was just letting hurt
25:55and
25:55and anger
25:56get 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
26:06um
26:07I think we can put
26:08all of it behind us
26:09and
26:10move on
26:12yeah
26:13I 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
26:29I 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
26:41I
26:42then you didn't have the kindness
26:43to even have a conversation
26:45what was I supposed to think
26:47except
26:48you'd shut your heart to me
26:50no I'm
26:51I'm opening
26:53my heart to you
26:54I'm
26:55I'm here now
26:56it's
26:57it's not too late
26:58I'm sorry
27:00it is
27:02no
27:03it can't be
27:04it is
27:05I've had time to think
27:06and I realize
27:08after that night
27:09in the yacht
27:10I spent so much time
27:12worrying about hurting you
27:13that I spent no time
27:14thinking about what I was feeling
27:17and for whom
27:18and for whom
27:19and for whom
27:19and for whom
28:25What the hell happened to you?
28:36Victor Nick!
28:37Thank you for seeing us so late.
28:40You remember Ovalos?
28:44Ovalos, 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?
29:22And 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, no, 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.
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.
30:40Hell, 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, I mean, if that's your idea
31:15of moving forward,
31:16why 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, 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.
32:00I 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.
32:08Gillis.
32:09Yeah, I have him on ice.
32:11All 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.
32:29Do we have a deal?
32:38Come on, guys.
32:44Oh, hell.
32:55What more insanity could there possibly be?
33:00I 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 arms, I was shocked.
33:31I was devastated.
33:35But then it turns out, that child, the embodiment of our love, is very much alive.
33:44All right.
33:45That 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, we get to be the family that we were always meant to be, before you ruined everything.
34:12You know what?
34:12You are, you are even crazier than I ever thought you were.
34:17I mean, Jack, come on.
34:19Please 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, before 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!
34:58Oh.
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 going to 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?
35:51Yes, 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.
36:09I mean, at least not enemies.
36:13It'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...
36:53Why 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?
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.
37:19Well, 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 you, Will.
