02:59nothing all right then what's up I talked to your brother earlier he told me that you intend to
03:09dispose of Matt Clark once he's been located you damn right I'm gonna do that watching that son of a
03:17bitch die right in front of me is the only way I know this nightmare ends son have you thought

03:51uh 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 I love you Jack and I I know that you love me and I'm
04:26I'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
04:37it's just
04:39the last time I saw you are you gonna accuse me of something or tell me I have to leave
04:48town or
04:49tell me that I am the same old no it's top of my list no the chair is all yours
04:56thanks
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
05:33to trust when someone is actually trying to be nice like right now I really don't even know what to
05:39do
05:39this I say accept it I would like to but you have been playing hard to get Jack even though
05:48I 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 were 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
06:42no no no what do you mean no no that's a terrible idea is that it's her well you yourself
06:49said that
06:50people are after you correct yeah I did say that that might be the case yeah so just so take
06:57a load
06:57off you know just 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 you'd think I remember something
07:13like that right am I an awful person no I mean I I don't I don't think so you know
07:23all the more reason
07:24you should just just stay here and relax it's hard for me to relax there's somebody out there I don't
07:30even know many he hates me thinks I'm some kind of a monster yeah you know I'm gonna clear a
07:37couple
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 no we
08:03can start
08:04this whole thing out I can make amends no uh that's very lovely but you're not doing that it's ill
08:13-advised
08:13why is it ill-advised you know uh maybe all these things that Noah's accusing you of maybe you didn't
08:21do them have you thought of that I mean maybe you're the victim yeah I don't know it doesn't feel
08:30right to me yeah I'm sure it doesn't they're not good people the newmans you don't think they're gonna
08:40find me here do you know they won't find you here everything is registered under my name so
08:51here is my phone number and my room number I'm three floors above you

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 Matt I'm gonna confront him into attacking me and then I'll
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 I mean you're not thinking this through I have thought it through this is the only way I
09:59know that it will be over there are other ways yes and they've all failed every one of them think
10:06about how many times we've had Matt in our hands 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
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
22:31what is due to you?
22:36it's probably this time of night
22:43it's probably 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 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
23:15the fire and the spark absolutely
23:17I'm talking about in terms of being drugged
23:24okay I am
23:25I was a little overheated
23:28light-headed
23:30but I do prefer to
23:33believe it was the company I was keeping
23:39it could have been drugs
23:41I see
23:43possibly
23:45they played a role
23:47in 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
24:24if you're interested
24:25oh very
24:27there's just a few things that I
24:30I need
24:31okay like what?
24:33oh
24:36well
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
24:48hmm
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
25:28say something aren't
25:31aren't you happy to see me?
25:34you'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
25:53I think I was just letting hurt and anger
25:57get in the way of what
25:59what 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
26:16I 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
26:40Jack I
26:42I
26:42then 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
26:55I'm here now
26:56it's not too late
26:59I'm sorry it is
27:02no it can't be
27:04it is
27:05yes
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
27:25what is she doing in our home?
27:30hmm
28:25What the hell happened to you?
28:36Victor Nick, thank you for seeing us so late, remember of Adolus?
28:44Hopefully 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.
28:57Of 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. Jack, she drugged you.
29:31She seduced you.
29:33I 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.
29:59It 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. Makes 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. 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. Jack, 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?
31:18Because 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?
32:55What more insanity could there possibly be?
32:59I really don't appreciate your choice of words. But Jack and I, we have been blessed with yet another miracle.
33:11Our child.
33:13What child? There's no child. Of course there's a child, Diane. The 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. 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, we get to be the family that we were always meant to be. Before you ruined everything.
34:11You 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.
34:50Goodbye, Diane.
34:54Jack! Jack!
35:04Look 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
35:16gonna bring him to his knees for good.
35:18I 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.
35:29A wife for a wife.
35:32Sounds 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.
36:04Yes.
36:06What?
36:07Friends. Almost. I 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. Just...
36:46Duh.
36:53Why can't I remember anything?
36:57Wait a minute. I was under the impression that you weren't afraid of the new DA or the charges brought
37:03against 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, and do you a
37:13great favor at the same time.
37:14Oh, go to hell with your favors. She's just afraid she's going to prison where she belongs.
37:19Look, if we look at this objectively, you 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.
37:34Do 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.
