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
04:38just the last time I saw you are you gonna accuse me of something or tell me I have to
04:48leave town or

04:55all 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 in this town and it's
05:32hard to trust when someone is actually trying to be nice like right now I really don't even know what
05:39to do with this I say accept it I would like to but you have been playing hard to get
05:46Jack even though
05:48I have nothing but love for you I'm just a little confused as to why you suddenly decided to be
05:57civil
05:57with me well maybe that's because I've been fighting battles on seemingly every front myself and avoiding
06:06you or attacking you when I do see you has not been serving me maybe it's time for me to
06:12accept that
06:13you are here here in general city to stay and that you were trying to be a better person
06:25does that mean you accept what happened between us on the yacht that night I have some things to do
06:37enjoy yourself yeah I know it's sleep but maybe I'll wander around for a little bit no no no no
06:44what
06:45do you mean no no that's a terrible idea why is that it's her well you yourself said that people
06:50are
06:50after you correct yeah I did say that that might be the case yeah so just take a load off
06:58you know just
06:59to enjoy this this great room that little dude Noah who hates me he said that I tortured his parents
07:08that I tried to kill them in an explosion in Las Vegas you you think I remember something like that
07:13right am I an awful person no I mean I don't I don't think so you know all the more
07:24reason 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
07:30know him and he he hates me thinks I'm some kind of a monster yeah you know I'm gonna clear
07:36a 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 what yeah they're they're
07:55they're a powerful family um I know them you know them that's great can we go see them now we
08:03can
08:04start this whole thing out I can make amends no uh that's very lovely but you're not doing that
08:12it's ill-advised why is it ill-advised you know maybe all these things that Noah's accusing you of
08:20maybe you didn't do them have you thought of that I mean maybe you're the victim yeah I don't know
08:27it doesn't feel right to me yeah I'm sure it doesn't
08:35they're not good people the newmans you don't think they're gonna find me here do you no they

09:47have
09:48detective Burrow with me and he'll be able to witness my act of self-defense son wait a minute
09:54this is you're not thinking this through I have thought it through this is the only way I know
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 he just walks away laughing at us my family is done
10:12being terrified by this man and I'm done failing them you haven't failed anyone yes I have
10:18don't you get it Noah and Sharon that could have died on my watch my son Christian is being raised
10:24by nannies and his cousins and aunts and Adam and Victoria they're the ones doing all the heavy
10:30lifting getting our family's company back it's not me dad I can't save anyone do you understand
10:36I can't help anyone I can't even help myself and I can't do it anymore it's gotta stop I can't
10:43do 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 are genuinely rehabilitated only
11:53to be shot down yeah and insulted and yelled at and told to leave town more times than I can
12:00count
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 killing me
12:49I 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 Clark 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 send
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
13:57I just I need some time son I hate drugs every addict says they have it under control are you
14:05forgetting how
14:06much time I spent with your mother worrying about her worrying about her addiction how she's struggling to get over
14:13it
14:13you need to pay attention to that I don't want to lecture
14:21sorry my boy I don't mean to lecture you but you're not talking about revenge
14:28you're talking about murder you 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 that
14:46this will be over your family will survive and they will thrive okay I don't understand
15:03this will be over your family my boy I may not be around much longer you know all this my
15:15company this family this house go to you
15:21you're the heir apparent you take over for me they look to you for guidance
15:29how can you give it to them when you're behind prison walls you tell me
15:36you abandon this idea
15:40you don't go around killing people that won't help your family
15:46and it will help me
15:57oh good I'm glad I found you there's something I need to discuss with you about
16:01I don't have time now
16:03hot date
16:04I 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
16:13the same difference
16:14listen 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
16:29am I hearing you correctly you're gonna make a deal
16:32give up Newman Enterprises to avoid legal repercussions right
16:35no
16:37no I have something better in mind
16:39ugh
16:41if it involves chicanery or fleeing the country or 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 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
17:06exactly
17:06Matt
17:08Clark
17:16you really know where Matt Clark is
17:18maybe
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 this is so great it's almost too easy
17:50all right
17:50before you get too excited there's something too easy about this
17:53oh
17:54you 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 but
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
18:30you 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 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 doesn't really have a lot of job prospects
19:16and you had no choice
19:20guess it was you
19:24alone on the yachts
19:26alone 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
19:36maybe 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 you care to share?
19:49no it was simple
19:52spend time with you
19:53that's it
19:56so
19:57if
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 place
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
20:38I 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
21:04Jack?
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
21:54as 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
22:36I will
22:36and I know
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
22:56I 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
23:15the fire and the spark absolutely
23:17I'm talking about in terms of being drugged
23:23okay
23:24okay
23:24it was a little overheated
23:28lightheaded
23:30but
23:31I do prefer to
23:33believe it was the company I was keeping
23:39it could have been drugs
23:43okay
23:43possibly
23:45they played a role
23:47in it
23:49thank you
23:51we're talking about acceptance right?
23:54so I am willing to accept that's
23:58what happened
23:59but you said that night
24:03was in the past
24:06doesn't sound like it
24:07it's a process
24:09and 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
24:36um
24:38what do I get out of it?
24:41I'm as fond as I am of you Jack
24:43I need to be practical
24:45and my eternal gratitude might not be enough
24:48hmmm
24:48as tempting as it sounds
24:52oh
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
25:04okay
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
25:30aren'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
25:42I 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
25:58what really matters
26:02and that's how much we love each other
26:04so I 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
26:21I don't understand
26:21I sent flowers
26:24letters
26:26a beautiful ring
26:27left messages, texts
26:30I poured my heart out
26:33begged 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'd shut your heart to me
26:50no I'm
26:52opening my heart to you
26:55I'm here now
26:57it'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
27:19to play
27:24I thought
27:28Big Jake
27:29upstairs
27:30inæ ¼s
27:30I'm sure
27:41she said
27:44something
27:46she said
28:25What the hell happened to you?
28:36Victor Nick!
28:38Thank you for seeing us so late.
28:40You remember of Adelis?
28:44Over late, isn't it?
28:46Does 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, should we hand it over to 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, 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.
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?
31:18It 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,
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.
32:00Give him the...
32:01I'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,
32:14is drop the charges against me.
32:16Drop them.
32:17Get Christine to do it.
32:18I don't care what you do.
32:20Threaten 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?
32:43Do we have a deal?
32:55What more insanity could there possibly be?
33:00I really don't appreciate your choice of words.
33:03But, Jack and I,
33:06we 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
33:26tangled 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,
33:45that is impossible.
33:47Nothing is impossible
33:49when there is love.
33:52Oh,
33:53and 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
34:33to 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.
34:48you still love me.
34:50Goodbye, Diane.
34:53Jack!
34:55Jack!
34:58Oh.
35:04Look at you.
35:06Going all Old Testament
35:08on Victor's ass.
35:10I want that man to know
35:11what real pain is.
35:13And the loss of Nicky
35:14is the only thing
35:15that's going to bring him
35:16to 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
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
35:46you'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
36:00against Victor.
36:04Yes.
36:06What?
36:07Friends.
36:08Almost.
36:09I mean,
36:09at least not enemies.
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
37:08to spare the public
37:09the expense of a long,
37:10drawn-out trial
37:11and do you a great favor
37:13at the same time.
37:14Oh, go to hell
37:15with 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
37:31to 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
37:40Newman Enterprises
37:41to me as well.
37:42Nope, that was not
37:43a 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.
