00:03phyllis better come through and hand over matt clark soon out of human decency and the fact
00:10that your son is not you mean our son our teenage son is not loving all this extra security around
00:16him lately the pickups and drop-offs at walnut grove it's weird we have this black suv following
00:23us everywhere you're supposed to be low-key well for a kid who's very sensitive about his
00:29surroundings it doesn't go unnoticed well then connor saying has his ocd been triggered uh no but
00:36his attitude has been triggered it's a lot of oh mom come on come on it's weird for him he's
00:43the only
00:43one of his friends that has a security detail okay well it's great it's just normal teen angst
00:50i mean sure but still matt clark will be handled and the security will ease up we think
00:58we hope phyllis says that she has them christine will drop the charges my father will get mad and
01:06it's done i know adam but there's just a lot victor wants his company back which means it's not a
01:12done
01:13deal phyllis is gonna have to give in yes yes right because she's so good at doing she will cave
01:21to someone what does that mean nick is obsessed with matt and he insists he'd be the one to do
01:31it
01:31but nick is not part of the negotiation yes i know but if he makes a deal with phyllis
01:36that could be terrible for all involved great one of you that's finally reasonable a reasonable newman
01:48whoa then you'll make the trade you know you want matt i want the charges dropped your dad is making
01:57a
01:57bunch of insane demands he doesn't have higher ground here no no not for the charges that's it
02:03forget everything else my dad has asked for gladly good and let's go take me to see matt now not
02:10so fast
02:14so
02:24so
02:26so
02:28The End
02:51Those, what's the problem? What do we need to wait for?
02:54Well, we don't really have a contract. We're not drawing one up.
02:58So we need to be specific about what this entails.
03:02Phyllis, I'm telling you right now, you don't want this guy in your hands any longer than he needs to
03:07be.
03:07I get it. Matt is a son of a bitch. He's dangerous. He's psycho. I understand.
03:12But tell me, when you have him, what are you going to do?
03:15Because I know you're not just going to give him a stern talking to.
03:19That is none of your concern.
03:52You're not your father, Nick.
04:04Hey, you made it.
04:06It's such a treat to see you again, Matt.
04:15Nick has been through hell because of Matt Clark.
04:18That man is evil. It's like he's made it his life's mission to torture Nick and his family.
04:24I'm not arguing that. I just, there's a bigger picture here that Nick refuses to save.
04:30But what's bigger than protecting his family?
04:32Protecting his entire family?
04:35What does that even mean?
04:36It means getting Matt and getting Newman back in our hands where it belongs.
04:42Why, why do the two of them have to be tied together?
04:46Because Phyllis made it that way.
04:49And Nick is ruining our chances to end both threats to the Newmans.
04:52He could blow that.
04:53I, I know what Newman means to you, to all of you.
04:56But this man has tried to murder members of your family.
05:00And our father will deal with that.
05:02But Phyllis doesn't have a free pass when it comes to Matt.
05:05And honestly, at this point, I think Nick would agree to anything to get Matt where he wants him.
05:10But Nick hasn't done anything so far, right?
05:12So, maybe you're worrying about nothing.
05:14Maybe.
05:16But it needs to happen now.
05:18The longer that Matt is protected by Phyllis or anybody else, the less control we have over the situation.
05:24The way Victor wants it, you mean?
05:27The way that it needs to be.
05:31Dropping the charges against a crime that she absolutely committed?
05:36Okay.
05:37But she doesn't get to keep what she stole from us, Chelsea.
05:41That's a non-negotiable.
05:44I need to make sure this ridiculous case goes away.
05:49I told you I will handle that.
05:51What is the problem?
05:52I want the charges dropped.
05:54And Summer's conglomerate is mine.
05:56And it needs to stay that way.
05:58Okay.
05:58So, that's it.
05:59That's your bottom line?
06:00Yes.
06:01That's my bottom line.
06:03Done.
06:04Done?
06:05Really?
06:05How can you say that?
06:06Because I'm saying it.
06:08Take the win.
06:09I'll make sure my father lets it go.
06:11You're sure?
06:13That is a constant threat to this family.
06:17He will never stop trying to kill us, just like he did out in this.
06:19My father will understand that.
06:22Business is business.
06:24Money, it comes and goes.
06:25But family is everything.
06:27If one of us dies because of this, there's no coming back from that.
06:30Yeah.
06:31Really?
06:32Are you sure your dad sees it that way?
06:34Why are you such a pain in the ass about this?
06:37You know that Matt's a threat to you too, right?
06:39I'm fine.
06:41Thanks for caring about me, by the way.
06:43That right there, that overconfidence is going to come back and bite you.
06:48Okay, once I hear that the charges are dropped and you've made headway with your father,
06:54I will tell you where Matt is.
06:56Not good enough.
06:58I need to know that you have him.
07:00If I was to say to you, I need you to take me to him right now.
07:03Can you make that happen?
07:06I was really pleased to hear from you.
07:09Yeah, thank you for coming.
07:11Well, how can I help?
07:13How do you know that I need help?
07:17I have a high level of empathy.
07:20You have kind eyes, Matt.
07:23And I see a lot of pain.
07:25Really?
07:26I mean, I can see that, but not everyone can.
07:30Yeah.
07:31I'm totally upside down right now.
07:33I mean, people talk about dissociating.
07:35It's like this buzzword, but it's real.
07:37Yeah, I'm familiar.
07:39I'm like a stranger to myself.
07:41Like, I know things for sure, but at the same time, those same things that I think that I know,
07:46I don't really even know them.
07:47Like, I'm reasonably sure that I'm capable of driving.
07:51Like, I'm probably really good at parallel parking, but I don't know.
07:54Do I own a car?
07:54Where's my car?
07:56Do I have a wallet?
07:56Where's my wallet?
07:58I mean, was I carjacked?
07:59Was I mugged?
08:00Is that where I got this blunt force trauma?
08:02Wow.
08:03Well, you have been spinning since I saw you, and I'm totally freaked out.
08:08Look at any moment, any one of these people, for no reason at all, I heard the blue could just
08:12come up to me and start punching me in the fence.
08:13No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
08:15I would never have recognized you if you didn't say that you were going to be wearing hat and glasses.
08:20Thank God.
08:21And it turns out this guy who hates me is from, like, this really big family.
08:25He's from the Newman family.
08:26Do you know that?
08:29Yes.
08:29Do you know that?
08:30Everyone knows the Newman family.
08:32They are very wealthy and powerful.
08:36Great.
08:36So I have a big target on my back, and I don't even know why.
08:40I mean, we're in the same boat.
08:42I have a family that hates me, too.
08:45Right.
08:46Well, do you know why?
08:47I do.
08:50Okay, why?
08:51What'd you do?
08:53Are you really asking me that, Matt?
08:56Or did Phyllis tell you if you'd want to see a fight alone?
09:06You're thinking like a Newman.
09:08What does that even mean?
09:10Focused on this, as far as legacy goes, focused on getting back what was stolen.
09:15But from what you've told me, Nick is on a different track.
09:17Okay.
09:18A better track, you mean?
09:22Focusing on getting rid of the danger.
09:25First and foremost, he's not using this opportunity to prove a point.
09:29What point?
09:31That Phyllis has something that is not hers, or she could give Matt back, but she needs to stick it
09:36to us first?
09:38Matt is trying to murder Newmans, Adam, and he's not going to stop.
09:45Even Connor, you know, he's annoyed by this extra security.
09:48I'm not.
09:49I'm grateful for it.
09:52Because what's to stop Matt from going after him?
09:54Another Newman target.
09:55And even now, as we talk, as we talk, in this room, I'm worried maybe this place is right to
10:00come up, too.
10:01No!
10:02That is not happening.
10:03Well, that's where my mind goes, because that's what Matt has done to me.
10:06He's in my head.
10:07Triple that, that's what Nick is going through right now.
10:10That's what he's dealing with.
10:11So I can understand why he wants that guy off the street.
10:14Which will happen.
10:16When, Adam, Victor's not going to back down.
10:20Phyllis is not going to give up.
10:25Nick is going to take care of this, and I just hope nobody gets in his way.
10:33Phyllis might have mentioned some things that you might have done.
10:36Maybe.
10:37Is that why you called?
10:39No.
10:42It's a morbid curiosity to meet a monster.
10:47If all the things that Phyllis said about me was true, I mean, I really thought that you called me
10:53because you needed a friend.
10:54I did, Patty.
10:55Hold on a second.
10:56Hold on.
10:56Okay, look.
10:57Okay, yes.
10:59Phyllis gave me a very long and detailed laundry list of things that you might have done, but I don't
11:02know anything about anyone, even me, especially myself.
11:06Look, I...
11:08Honestly, Phyllis has been great, but I am freaking out right now.
11:12I mean, my memories are not exactly flooding back.
11:15I mean, I'm getting little glimpses here and there, but I'm really uncomfortable.
11:17And it's like you said, you have a really high level of empathy.
11:21You do, and I don't have any right to ask.
11:24I'm being totally selfish right now, but I really could use a friend right now.
11:27All right, well, that's me.
11:29I don't have anything to offer in return.
11:30I don't bring anything to the table.
11:31You don't sell yourself.
11:32I mean, let's be honest.
11:34I'm kind of making a mess of this whole thing.
11:37Yeah, it's just because Phyllis told you horrible things about me.
11:42Right.
11:42Who am I to judge?
11:43Judge, let me just be clear.
11:48Okay?
11:50No misunderstanding.
11:53I promise you, most of what Phyllis told you is true.
12:00I have been arrested.
12:01I have been committed to psychiatric facilities.
12:07I've hurt people.
12:11Damaged people hurt people.
12:14Yeah.
12:16But you were released.
12:18Yeah, I got treatment, and I got better.
12:21But the people in this town, they don't seem to accept it.
12:26They see this image in their minds, and they just can't shake it.
12:32Or they don't want to.
12:35You're talking about the family you mentioned earlier.
12:37Those people that have it out for you, those people?
12:41Yeah, those people.
12:43The way they look at me with fear and disgust, it just pierces right into your soul.
12:52And there's a part of me that just wants to run and hide.
12:56And there's this other part that's kinder.
13:02It's kinder to them and to me.
13:06I mean, these poor people, they shouldn't live in fear in this town because of what they think I might
13:13do.
13:13And you know what?
13:15And you know what?
13:15I shouldn't live in shame.
13:17And so the best thing that I can do to heal all of us is to just stick it out.
13:25Be brave.
13:31Because I'm just like them.
13:34No better, no worse.
13:37Just stupid.
13:41How do you need you to do something for me?
13:43You do something for me.
13:46Can you swear to me that you and I have never met?
13:52them i have it i do you do right because there's something about everything that you just said i
13:59don't i don't i feel like we have a kinship i feel like you and i are kind of the
14:06same person
14:10i have matt somewhere safe he's close by how close how close would you want the gps on him
14:18he's close you just be ready i'm gonna be taking him off your hands real soon
14:30christine hey nick newman i'm good thanks um listen i need to to see you in person as soon as
14:39possible
14:42great great okay i'll see you then bye wow the bug just hops to it like the minion she is
14:50doesn't she my father's not the only person in this town who delivers on his promises
14:57i hear you and when i make all this happen you're gonna live up to your end of the bargain
15:03well there's still the victor part of the equation that's gonna be handled too
15:09all right well then call me when you have the news okay i will do not play games with me
15:20don't try and screw me over don't play games with me all right matt is a means to an end
15:26for me
15:26i want my freedom i want my company and then you'll get matt clark
15:39thank you well that is quite a statement that we are so much alike yeah but what you just said
15:47you know the bad things the way that you've hurt people i don't know it's it's it's like i have
15:53this
15:54feeling in my gut but that's really hard to explain well i mean do you know what it means
16:00it means maybe that that's me maybe i don't know maybe that's why the newmans have an info i mean
16:10but you don't know that i think you're trying to make me feel better and i appreciate that but i
16:15really need to figure out who i am i don't need to feel better i need to figure that out
16:21look i'm here to help go on okay so here's the thing that i remember there's a guy and he's
16:29looking at me with pure hatred and rage in his eyes and he's punching me have you ever considered
16:37that maybe they're the ones who are the violent ones and not you that's not what this is about
16:43this is about why is he like that what did i do why does he hate me so much because
16:49look there's a
16:50part of me that wants to figure that out so that so that i can apologize so i can try
16:54and fix it so
16:55i can try and make people hate me less right because you don't want to be out there walking
16:59around when everyone attacking you right because who does but but here's the the other part of it is
17:05that maybe they're right maybe i'm the worst person in the whole world and maybe there's no way i can
17:15ever make amends because maybe the things that i've done are more horrible than i can even imagine
17:28my father is not gonna let matt slip away and so there is no risk we're gonna get newman back
17:36and
17:37we're gonna get matt are you sure about that completely even though phyllis is the other side
17:43of this equation it's because she is predictable no matter what she's gonna look out for herself
17:51she also has all the leverage adam it doesn't matter what she thinks she has my dad will always have
17:59more
17:59power and more determination he's gonna make sure this goes the way it's supposed to and not the way
18:05nick wants it to nick nick nick is not thinking straight can i just ask you something if a man
18:17raped me decades ago terrorized us tried to kill our son and then tried to blow up our family are
18:25you
18:25telling me you wouldn't want him dead just don't you know the answer to that but i would also not
18:30risk
18:30this family to deal with him myself well just because nick wants to doesn't mean he's gonna do
18:37it just every second that nick is fixated on this he's not getting addiction treatment
18:47oh that's what has you so worried nick is avoiding getting help
18:52why why is he avoiding getting help because um having fentanyl in his system feels good
19:00or it feels different or maybe it's a relief to not be the good son for a while or maybe
19:08that
19:08he finally realized there's something in his life he's afraid he can't beat
19:14see my point is nick is still using and i'm sure of it and i don't know when it's gonna
19:20stop
19:34hey hey thanks for coming yeah the newman case is a priority so if you have any new evidence i
19:42look forward to hearing it oh yeah i uh i don't have anything like that for you
19:49so what's this about what would it take to get the charges against phyllis dropped
20:20look looking for someone what no no i mean yeah i'm not sure what's this about what's this about the
20:26No. Well, someone to to work the coffee machine.
20:31I mean, because I want a latte.
20:35Some more coffee.
20:39Well, yeah, isn't that what you guys do here?
20:43I'm just saying you already got coffee and pastries earlier.
20:47That's weird.
20:48And we would you have cameras here?
20:50You stalking your customers?
20:53That is just weird and very unnecessary.
20:57Please, Phyllis, Esther told me you got two coffees earlier.
21:03Esther, why does Esther care?
21:06She thought it was odd, since you don't have very many friends left in this town.
21:13That is deeply hurtful.
21:15Well, Esther is harmless.
21:16Yeah, but you repeated it to me, okay?
21:19I mean, and I know why.
21:23Because you're trying to get me to reassess my actions so people like me, and I'm not doing that. No
21:30way.
21:30No.
21:32I said it because I wanted you to feel bad for buying Matt coffee!
21:38Because it was for him, wasn't it?
21:40No, it wasn't.
21:43It's for Lauren.
21:45She is my colleague and she is my friend.
21:49You're lying.
21:51It was for Matt.
21:53Nick told Noah and me that you, you've got Matt stashed away somewhere and you're using him as a bargaining
21:59chip.
22:01Phyllis, you were once Nick's wife.
22:05You were Noah's step-mom.
22:08And me, you were my friend.
22:11And now you're harboring this man who tried to destroy us all.
22:15You're exploiting him for your own personal gain when you should be staying far away from him.
22:19You know what it means to be terrorized by a man who's enjoying your fear.
22:23Well, that's who Matt is to my family and you're buying him coffee and croissants.
22:30I'm not going to do this with you.
22:31I'm not going to do this with you.
22:33Yes, you are.
22:35Yes, you are.
22:36Because you owe me.
22:38I owe you?
22:39I do not.
22:41How's that?
22:43From the clinic.
22:44No, no. No, no, no, Sharon.
22:47I saved your life.
22:49You saved my life.
22:51Nobody owes anybody anything.
22:54No, at the clinic.
22:56We decided to drop all of the other garbage and just accept the fact that we are going to be
23:04connected forever.
23:08You know, I'm going to get my latte somewhere else.
23:10I can't have Matt out there.
23:12Phyllis, the fear is exhausting.
23:17The idea that he could hurt Nick or hurt Noah.
23:22And you can put an end to it all.
23:25So, please.
23:27Please, Phyllis, do the right thing.
23:36Did Summer ask you to do this? Because I don't think Daniel would put you up to it. He'd come
23:41to me directly.
23:42No. No, this has nothing to do with either one of them.
23:45Well, Nick, you're not giving me much to go on and you're not giving me a reason to drop the
23:51charges. Does Victor know about this?
23:53No. This is just between you and me.
23:56He's the primary victim here.
23:58It's about his life's work and a very serious crime.
24:03And it's within my jurisdiction to prosecute.
24:07Phyllis and Kane earned the charges.
24:10Kane is a completely separate issue.
24:12I don't give a damn about him. You do whatever you want.
24:15But dropping the charges against Phyllis will be very beneficial to this family.
24:20I don't see how.
24:22Look, I know because of your history with Phyllis, how important this is.
24:27Nick, I take my job as an officer of the court very seriously.
24:30Bottom line is someone with no role at Newman Enterprises took this massive corporation.
24:37They slapped their name on it and committed fraud.
24:41The DA's office has extensive evidence to prove that.
24:44So unless you can give me a hell of a good reason why I should ignore those facts, then...
24:49How about a violent career criminal who's currently walking the streets, ready to unleash hell on anyone who gets in
24:56his way?
24:57Would that be very interesting to you?
24:59Who are you talking about?
25:02Matt Clark.
25:04What a kind, mature perspective.
25:07I mean, that shows no matter who you are, that you have a generous spirit and that we do have
25:14in common.
25:16But to go directly over to the Newmans, that's a risky move.
25:20If it'll help me figure out who I am, I'm willing to take that risk.
25:23And you're not afraid of what you might learn?
25:25Patty, this is a sample loop from my brain, okay?
25:29Do I have a wife?
25:30Does my wife love me?
25:32Do I love my wife?
25:32Does my wife hate me?
25:33Do I hate my wife?
25:34Is my wife dead?
25:35Am I wearing a wedding band in remembrance of a woman who I don't even remember?
25:41Do I have a family?
25:42Do I have siblings?
25:42Do I have any friends or am I...
25:45Or are you what?
25:46Am I a guy who doesn't have anything?
25:50Am I a man who has no one?
25:52Alright, you are very confused in fear and you need some answers.
26:00Yeah, I don't know what to do.
26:02Well, I mean, you definitely have to retrieve your memories.
26:06Yeah, that's what Phyllis says.
26:07Oh, okay, you know what?
26:08You, you cannot trust anything she says.
26:11Oh, well, she says I shouldn't trust you either.
26:13Maybe neither one of you should trust me.
26:15Here's what I know for sure, okay?
26:16I cannot live like this.
26:18Living like this is no life at all.
26:22You may think that Matt is harmless.
26:25You may think that you have it under complete control.
26:27Who says I have him?
26:29Oh, please.
26:30I hear he has amnesia.
26:32Really?
26:32Yeah.
26:33Did you also know that he was presumed dead for 20 years?
26:37Did you know that he was going by the name Mitch?
26:39Yeah, the man lies like he breathes.
26:42And because you think you can get something out of the situation,
26:44you're ignoring the facts.
26:46He is evil.
26:47Everything about him.
26:49He enjoys inflicting pain.
26:53And you might be next.
27:00My back is against the wall.
27:03Has Matt threatened you?
27:05No, Victor's threatening me.
27:07He's threatening to take my company away from me.
27:10That isn't yours, Phyllis.
27:12And the fact that you would protect this monster to keep what you stole.
27:16He doesn't even know who he is.
27:20He doesn't know who you are.
27:22Is that what he told you?
27:24And you bought it?
27:27He's playing you.
27:29But you're letting him, even though you know better, because your need for a trophy matters more than anything else.
27:38That is not true.
27:41Summer's conglomerate is not a trophy to me.
27:44It is my empire.
27:46It is my legacy.
27:48How sad and small for you, Phyllis.
27:53If you would hang your legacy on the devil, you're not the person I thought you were.
28:06He's been back long enough to start the program, Sharon.
28:09But he hasn't started.
28:11Oh, he acts like he's on it, but I don't think he's done a damn thing.
28:16Because of Matt?
28:19Nick thinks he's the only one who can handle it.
28:22I mean, I understand why.
28:25Yeah, well, meanwhile, Nick is spiraling.
28:27I mean, he can say that he's detoxing, but when I look at him, that is not what cold turkey
28:31looks like.
28:33Which means he's still using, and he's lying about using.
28:36And then the shame kicks in, and then you definitely don't want to admit anything.
28:40And then there's this defiance, like, screw you, I can handle this.
28:44And I'm not going to tell you the truth, because you wouldn't understand, and I have a bigger purpose here.
28:50Only I can handle Matt.
28:52This has all been running around in your head, and I didn't realize I'm sorry.
28:57Because I knew if I talked about it, it would make me even more nuts.
29:01Phyllis is exploiting Matt to get what she wants, and Nick is using this situation to avoid treatment.
29:07I mean, he's not thinking straight.
29:09He should not be making deals and plotting revenge.
29:12He needs to deal with the fentanyl first.
29:15And if he keeps lying, and covering, and using this whole thing...
29:34The fact that this guy was let off for his crimes out in LA is absolutely insane.
29:40I'm talking drug trafficking, kidnapping, attempted murder.
29:43He's one violent crime after another.
29:46They did bring charges against him for trying to blow us all up out in Las Vegas.
29:49I'm aware.
29:51You are?
29:52Yeah, the feds were brought in because of drug trafficking.
29:55Genoa City is his last known location, and I was alerted to the warrant.
30:00This is your chance to get him off the streets, do what the other prosecutors couldn't.
30:05This is a win for you, Christine, and for the rest of the world.
30:08And I know he's a monster.
30:10I will do everything I can to bring him to justice.
30:13He keeps getting away with all this stuff because he's always one step ahead of everyone.
30:17But this is your moment, a chance where you can get the jump on him.
30:22With your help.
30:24Okay, but why not both?
30:26Why offer Matt in exchange for letting Phyllis continue to steal from you all?
30:31Why not bring them both to justice?
30:33Doesn't your family deserve that?
30:44How did it happen?
30:45How is it possible that the only two people in the world who know who I am,
30:50who I can talk to hate each other so much that if I trust one of them that I'm offending
30:54the other one?
30:55Not even offending, like worse than that, like betraying.
30:57And why is it that it feels like it might be okay with me?
31:00Is that just how I roll?
31:01And is that why people like random strangers want to just come punch me in the face
31:05because I'm a two-faced son of a bitch?
31:07Is that why?
31:07You may feel stuck, but that's what Phyllis wants you to feel.
31:12To depend on her.
31:14But why?
31:15Doesn't that sound strange to you?
31:18Yeah, strange is a relative term for someone like me in my situation.
31:22Okay.
31:22It's all a little strange.
31:23Alright, alright.
31:24So did Phyllis happen to mention that this young man, Noah,
31:33she was once his stepmother?
31:37What?
31:37Yeah, she was married many years ago to Nick Newman.
31:42They have a Newman daughter, Summer.
31:46It didn't come up, no?
31:48No.
31:49Okay.
31:50So whatever the Newmans have against you, she knows exactly what it is.
31:54Look at you.
31:55You're open.
31:56You're kind.
31:58You're just trying to figure out the answers, and she is withholding that information.
32:02Which, which means, do you know what that means?
32:06It means that she knows exactly who you are.
32:10And she's been keeping you alone, confused, and in the dark room.
32:16No, there's gotta be another explanation.
32:18Oh, there is.
32:19She's not your friend, Matt.
32:23She's, she's leading you on, and she's setting you up.
32:30You know, this is really unfair, Sharon.
32:33How am I responsible for all of Matt Clark's crimes against your family?
32:39I mean, cause that's how it sounds.
32:42That you're blaming me for Matt Clark and being the way he is, you know?
32:47Well, you could make him face justice.
32:49Haven't you thought that maybe I'm trying to do that?
32:52Maybe I'm trying to.
32:54I want to hand them over to you.
32:56I want to end your pain.
32:58But my God, don't I deserve to end my own pain?
33:01Don't I deserve to get out from under this sword that Victor has on my neck?
33:05Don't I deserve that?
33:06He has been trying to crush me and my family for decades with no reason.
33:12You provoked Victor.
33:13No, no, no. Victor provoked me.
33:16I'm trying to get justice.
33:18I'm trying to get justice for everybody in this town.
33:21You know what? I'm not backing down.
33:29Hey.
33:31Any work from Nick?
33:35No, not recently.
33:38Anything wrong?
33:40No, nothing.
33:41I'm just hoping for news.
33:43I don't have a good feeling about Nick right now.
33:46You mean because he wants to deal with Matt Clark himself?
33:50That?
33:51And how he plans to get to that point?
33:54I mean, he's on edge.
33:55He's strung out.
33:56And I just, I have this gut feeling that he's going to try to negotiate with Phyllis on his own.
34:01Meaning what?
34:02Meaning that he will agree to whatever she wants just so he could get his hands on Matt.
34:07And if Phyllis gives him Matt and nothing else, we may never get Newman back.
34:20You know, you have these wounds, Phyllis.
34:26They go deep straight to your core.
34:31But I understand.
34:32I do.
34:33Oh yeah, sure.
34:34It really seems like you understand.
34:35Yeah, because I have my own wounds along with, you know, my body and mind screaming for the world to
34:40give my family a break.
34:41Yeah, I just want, I want everybody here to leave me now alone.
34:46The way you're going about it though.
34:50Don't you miss Daniel and Summer?
34:53Don't you miss having Nick on your side as someone that you can count on?
34:58As co-parents, you do want what's best for each other, right?
35:02And then there's me, you know, don't you miss our friendship?
35:06Because I do.
35:07I mean, Martin deserves to rot in hell, yeah.
35:10But the connection that we made in the clinic, it really healed some old hurts for me.
35:16Everyone turned their back on me, Sharon.
35:18Not the other way around.
35:20So you rely on Matt, a manipulator, a liar who enjoys tormenting people?
35:27Because every cell in his body is programmed to inflict harm.
35:32And if you are the only person he has access to, you will be the one that he hurts next.
35:42You think Phyllis knows who I am, but she's pretending not to?
35:47No way.
35:48There's no way that's true.
35:50Also, I think I know.
35:52I think I have better instincts than you.
35:53Oh.
35:54When you're in a state of heightened anxiety, things just don't make sense.
36:00You know, I learned that in my treatment.
36:03That's how I got better.
36:06Phyllis is so free and straightforward and she's so comfortable with herself.
36:11I just don't see someone like that lying to me or trying to set me up.
36:15Or that's simply how good she is at what she does.
36:22Gaining trust to exploit weakness.
36:25When a man doesn't know why, the Naamans hate him.
36:31That's definite weakness.
36:34All of the things that I wonder about myself, I never even considered that I would be a sucker.
36:39Hey, you know what?
36:43Let's just leave it alone for now and I will take care of it.
36:48And at least you'll always know that someone will have you back.
36:57I honestly think Nicholas knows better than to trust Phyllis.
37:01In theory, maybe.
37:04But he's not thinking straight.
37:06He's just, he's gotten too close to getting Matt out of his life for good.
37:10And this son of a bitch just keeps coming around.
37:13So between his endless supply of rage and the other things that are going on, it's just...
37:23I think your brother needs treatment.
37:26No.
37:31You calling Nick?
37:32No, I'm gonna call Phyllis.
37:34To force the issue?
37:36Well, before he gives her an easy out.
37:42You wanna let Phyllis off the hook?
37:45I wanna nail a violent criminal who is a danger to the public.
37:48If she's not challenged legally, she's gonna keep Newman Enterprises.
37:53I'm not worried about that right now.
37:55How can you have a soft spot for her with everything you know?
37:58Christine, you say you're doing your job.
38:00And it's nothing personal.
38:02So what do you say we stop talking about Phyllis and start focusing on Matt?
38:07Okay.
38:11Where is Matt?
38:15Wait.
38:17You don't know, do you?
38:21But Phyllis does.
38:24She'll give you Matt if you make this deal with me.
38:28Wait, you're letting her extort you?
38:30What the hell is wrong with you, Nick?
38:32Well, what this epic is.
38:40Here is a story.
38:41When I meet you.
38:41Irion.
38:52It, I work at a festival.
38:57That's a, the nature of thechant.
38:57You're not.
38:58Is the sunlight raising easily?
39:00I��ā.
39:01You're like may not.
39:33Join us again for the young and the restless.
