03:14You
03:14You
03:14Surely
03:14You
03:33You
03:45You've reached Jack Abbott.
03:47Name a message.
03:48I'll get back to you.
03:51Uh, hi.
03:53It's, um, it's me.
03:55I, um, well, I haven't stopped feeling, uh, hurt or angry or confused.
04:04But, um, Jack, I really want to find a way to move forward.
04:09Um, I thought that maybe I could come by the house in a little bit and, and we could talk.
04:16Yes.
04:20I love you, Jack.
04:23And I, I know that you love me.
04:26And I'm, I'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, no, no, no, it's just, the last time I saw you, are you going to accuse me of
04:47something or tell me I have to leave town or tell me that I am the same old crazy me?
04:51No, it's top 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.
05:20To prove yourself, right?
05:22Nobody said it was going to 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, Jack.
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, I'm just a little confused as to why you suddenly decided
05:56to 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 for me to accept that you are here.
06:15You're in Genoa City to 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, but 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.
06:54Yeah, so just, you know, take a load off, you know, just to enjoy this great room.
07:03That 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.
07:11You think I remember something like that, right?
07:15Am I an awful person?
07:18No, I mean, I don't, I don't think so.
07:23You know, all the more reason you should just, just stay here and relax.
07:28It's hard for me to relax.
07:29There's somebody out there, I don't even know him and he, he hates me.
07:32He thinks I'm some kind of a monster.
07:35Yeah, you know, I'm going to clear a couple things up for you.
07:40That, that little dude, Noah, and his dad and his grandfather, they're Newmans.
07:47They're Newmans?
07:48Yeah.
07:50Why are you looking at me?
07:51That, that means something.
07:54What?
07:54What does that mean?
07:55They're, they're, they're a powerful family.
07:58Um, I know them.
08:00You know them?
08:01Mm-hmm.
08:01That's great.
08:02Can we go see them?
08:03No.
08:03We can start this whole thing out.
08:04I can make amends.
08:06No.
08:09It's very lovely, but you're not doing that.
08:12It's ill-advised.
08:14Why 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?
08:23Does that mean maybe you're the victim?
08:26Yeah, I don't know.
08:28It, it doesn't feel right to me.
08:31Yeah.
08:32I'm sure it doesn't.
08:36They're not good people, the Newmans.
08:39You don't think they're going to 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.
08:53And my room number, I'm three floors above you.
09:01Okay.
09:02Yeah.
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.
09:17I'm happy to do it.
09:20Phyllis, do you think we could have some breakfast tomorrow?
09:24Uh, yeah.
09:25Let's do that.
09:27Let's have some breakfast.
09:29Yeah.
09:31Good night.
09:32Good night.
09:57Good night.
09:59I 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.
10:17Yes, 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.
10:28And 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?
10:35I can't help anyone.
10:37I can't even help myself.
10:39And I can't do it anymore.
10:41It's got to stop.
10:43I can't do it, Dad.
10:56What happened on that yacht is behind us.
10:59Right now, I am interested in getting a drink.
11:03All right.
11:05Please, let me.
11:06Oh, no.
11:06Please 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.
11:16You 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.
11:25Jack, what happened to the acceptance of believing that I 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 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 more times than I can count.
12:01Well, you are still here.
12:04Yeah, and I'm going to 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.
12:38Between us, you're right.
12:42It was Victor.
12:47It's just a stress.
12:49You know what?
12:49It'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.
12:56That's up, man.
12:57Come on.
12:57Well, this 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 to handle this?
13:12You've raised me my whole life to protect this family at any cost, and I will do that.
13:17I know there's a cost, but I would think you more than anyone would understand why I have to do
13:21it.
13:25There are other factors you know.
13:28What are the factors?
13:30Suddenly you're using drugs.
13:39Would you talk to Adam?
13:40What do you say?
13:42He's concerned about it.
13:45We all are.
13:47Son, I have it under control.
13:51I just got home.
13:52I haven't been able to go to the clinic that Sharon recommended, but I'm going to do that, okay?
13:57I just, I need some time.
14:00Son, I 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, worrying about her addiction, how she's
14:12struggling to get over it?
14:13You need to pay attention to that.
14:16I don't want a lecture.
14:21I'm sorry, 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 behind 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.
14:47Your family will survive.
14:49And they will thrive.
14:50Okay?
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.
15:46And it will help me.
15:58Oh, good.
15:59I'm glad I found you.
16:00There's something I need to discuss with you about.
16:02I 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.
16:14Listen, all your ideas were lame.
16:16They were ridiculous.
16:16Although I'm wrong.
16:18You did have one good idea.
16:21Really?
16:22Mm-hmm.
16:22Which idea was that?
16:23Um, making a deal.
16:25That's what I'm going to do.
16:25I'm going to make a deal.
16:27Wait.
16:29Am I hearing you correctly?
16:30You're going to make a deal.
16:32Give up Newman Enterprises to avoid legal repercussions, right?
16:35No.
16:37No, I have something better in mind.
16:40Ugh.
16:41If it involves chicanery or fleeing the country or faking your own death again, I'm not interested.
16:48No, I think you'll be interested in this.
16:49I think you will.
16:51Um, see, 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, exactly?
17:07Matt Clark.
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, Victor would definitely be interested in doing a deal
17:43of 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, there's something too easy about this.
17:53You mean, Victor may be amenable to doing a trade.
17:57But who 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.
18:06But that 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, I 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 helps you understand that I'm trying to do the right thing,
19:01then, yeah, it's worth it.
19:04I assumed it could pay you to 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.
19:20I guess 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, Amy 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, 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?
20:11I don't think there was really anything in the whiskey.
20:14Patty, how can you even say that?
20:16Jack, the chemistry.
20:18The chemistry, the passion.
20:20I mean, it was everything I remembered from the past.
20:23I mean, the connection between us, that was the drug in itself.
20:28It's all we needed.
20:30I am sorry to burst your bubble.
20:34But there were drugs involved.
20:38I would never, ever, have betrayed Diane if I weren't under the influence.
20:45If you believe otherwise, you are dreaming.
21:03Jack?
21:06Jack?
21:10Jack?
21:13Jack?
21:24There you are.
21:25Did you get my message?
21:28I did.
21:30Well, I meant what I said.
21:33I'm ready to find a way forward.
21:36I know it's taken me a while to get here, and I know that I've hurt you.
21:42But I'm here now.
21:46I 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 used Patty to tear us
21:59apart.
22:00I 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.
22:17Son, you're on drugs.
22:20How do you think I feel?
22:22This will be all right.
22:25Matt Tark will get what is due him.
22:27Trust me, I promise you.
22:36You know, it's probably this time of night.
22:43Michael Baldwin and Phyllis are here.
22:49You think they want to negotiate?
22:53I guess we'll see.
22:56Well, I've got to stick around for that.
22:59I don't trust Phyllis to try and do anything but screw this family over.
23:04Yeah.
23:09If you think you were drugged, then I won't argue with you.
23:13You 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.
23:23Okay, I was a little overheated, lightheaded, but I do prefer to believe it was the company
23:35I was keeping.
23:39It could have been drugs.
23:42Okay, possibly they played a role in it.
23:51We're talking about acceptance, right?
23:54So I am willing to accept that's what happened.
23:59But you said that night was 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 is to move forward.
24:14Only I can't do that without 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 need.
24:32Okay, like what?
24:35Well, um, what do I get out of it?
24:41You're 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, as tempting as it sounds.
24:53No, no, no.
24:55I think you can do better than that.
24:58Perhaps 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 sort of arrangement.
25:26Jack, say something, aren't you happy to see me?
25:33You're right.
25:34We need to talk.
25:35Go ahead.
25:36Look, I'm not asking you to apologize to me yet again.
25:41And I know, I know how much you regret what happened with Patty.
25:46And I know how hard you've worked to try to get through to me.
25:51I think I just, um, I think I was just letting hurt and anger get in the way of what
25:58really matters.
26:02And that's how much we love each other.
26:04So I, I think that we can just, um, I think we can put all of it behind us and
26:10move on.
26:12Yeah, I want to move on.
26:14Well, that's all I wanted to hear.
26:16In fact, I already have.
26:20I don't understand.
26:21I sent flowers, letters, a beautiful ring, left messages, texts.
26:30I poured my heart out, begged for your forgiveness, pleaded for understanding and 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 you'd shut your heart to me?
26:50No, I'm, I'm opening my heart to you.
26:54I'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.
27:07And I realize, after that night in the yacht,
27:10I spent so much time worrying about hurting you
27:13that I spent no time thinking about what I was feeling.
27:17And for whom.
27:24What is she doing in our home?
27:31Hmm.
27:32Oh, my God.
28:25What the hell happened to you?
28:36Victor Nick, thank you for seeing us so late.
28:40You remember a little less?
28:44Awfully late, isn't it?
28:47Does this mean you're ready to return Newman Enterprises to his rightful owner?
28:52What I have to offer you, Victor, will blow your mind.
28:58Close.
29:01What would it be worth to you?
29:04Should we hand it over to Matt Clark?
29:20What are you doing here?
29:22And what do you mean, our home?
29:25I 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.
29:41And reignited.
29:42That night.
29:44Unlike Michigan.
29:46No.
29:47No, 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!
30:07Poor Diane.
30:10Makes you wonder if Jack ever really did love you.
30:14Doesn'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.
30:56How 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.
31:25I don't know.
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 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.
31:55No, does it?
31:55I'm hardly desperate, Nick.
31:57Hardly.
31:57In 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.
32:08Do this.
32:09Yeah, I have him on ice.
32:10All 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?
32:38Oh, hell.
32:39Oh, hell.
32:55What more insanity could there possibly be?
32:59I 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.
33:21You miscarried.
33:22When I saw you and Jack tingled 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, that is impossible.
33:47Nothing is impossible when there is love.
33:52Oh, 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, 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.
34:26Oh.
34:29That 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!
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...
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.
36:09I 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, 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...
36:52Why can't I remember anything?
36:57No, 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?
37:06What happened?
37:07The 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.
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, Phyllis gets what she wants, everybody 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.
37:52Don't you move.
