00:56uh it's okay just uh sitting here enjoying my tea taking in the scene
01:02getting hyped on caffeine although you seem pretty mellow
01:09yeah it's just uh one of those days
01:14so what's going on you want to talk about mom or dad or newman
01:19oh god well our parents still aren't speaking to each other
01:23the longer that goes on the crazier it makes me so no update there
01:28and newman i mean it's a waiting game waiting for phyllis to do the right thing
01:33and turn the company back over to us and turn matt over to dad
01:38although is it wrong that not one part of me doesn't want to see her go to prison
01:42for what she's put our family through i mean phyllis is gonna fill us but there isn't anything we can
01:49do about that
01:51yeah i guess you're right
01:53okay well now that that's settled seriously why did you want to meet
02:02you
02:04me
02:06i can't help it nick i'm worried
02:10you don't have to do that big okay
02:13seriously yeah i'm solid
02:14okay but i promised that i would be here to help you and i'm here to make good on that
02:18promise
02:20so how are you holding up
02:23have you started the rehab sessions
02:25my
02:33my
02:39my
03:15Victor, I got your text, but I was in the neighborhood, so I could have this conversation with you face
03:24-to-face.
03:26To make this very simple, has Phyllis agreed to handle a number of enterprises and that scum Matt Clark in
03:42exchange for me, prevailing upon Christine Ramalotti, our new DA, to drop the charges against Phyllis?
03:54Phyllis, answer the question. Just tell me, why do you freak out every time I say I'm going to leave
03:58the room?
03:59Matt, I do not freak out.
04:00You do. And it just makes me feel like there's something you're not telling.
04:04I'm just interested in what's best for you.
04:07Yeah, I really want to believe that.
04:08Well, then believe it. Is this Patty and everything that she's spewed about me?
04:12No, this has nothing to do with Patty. This is about you and me.
04:15I can't shake this feeling that you're hiding something.
04:17Well, it's wrong. I'm concerned about you. That's it. I'm just concerned about you.
04:20Tell me what you're concerned about.
04:22Concerned about? Okay. The Newmans know you're in town.
04:26You don't stand a chance against those guys. Not a chance. The only place you're safe is with me.
04:42I was texting with my son, Johnny.
04:46About what?
04:48The fantasy baseball league that we're in together.
04:51One of my best pitchers went down, and now I'm begging my son to trade me one of his players.
04:55Preferably a lefty with a wicked split-finger fastball.
05:00Really?
05:02Yeah, it's not a good position I'm in. Seriously, one of my best pitchers.
05:05And if he doesn't do his dad's solve, then I'm going to go have to waver wire.
05:08And once I'm on the waver wire, there's just a bunch of pitchers that nobody else picked up,
05:11and it's not going to be fun.
05:13Nobody gets there.
05:17What?
05:19You have this way of talking when you don't want to tell me something.
05:22You switch to a subject that you think I know absolutely nothing about,
05:25and then you lay it on thick with a jargon because you think my eyes are going to glaze over,
05:28and I'm going to move on, but not this time.
05:30I'm telling you the truth.
05:31That's, I'm...
05:32Billy?
05:32It's all true.
05:33I may not know a lot about baseball,
05:35but I do know that the fantasy league that you're in doesn't allow trades
05:38because you complained about it incessantly for the first two weeks of the season.
05:42Did I?
05:42Yeah, you did.
05:43I don't think I did.
05:43You did.
05:44You're busted.
05:46What is it?
05:48Is it about Chancellor?
05:50Is it about Kane and Phyllis' emails?
05:53Did something happen?
05:54Are you in danger of being arrested?
06:00You know, with everything that's going on,
06:03there are far more important things for us to discuss than how I'm doing.
06:08No.
06:08No, there's nothing more important than what you're going through,
06:12and I promised you that I was going to help you battle this addiction,
06:15even if that means showing up and forcing you to spend quality time with your big sister.
06:22Well, I've never had to twist my arm to do that.
06:25So talk to me.
06:27How are you?
06:29I mean, have you started any of the sessions at the clinic that Sharon found for you?
06:35You know, it's funny you ask.
06:37I just happened to have my first little meet and greet today.
06:41Oh, good.
06:42Good.
06:43I'm glad to hear that.
06:43How did it go?
06:46It was good.
06:48Yeah.
06:48It was kind of a breeze, really, but very informative.
06:55That's it?
06:58Yeah.
07:02Because I would have imagined that your first session would have been rather difficult.
07:05I mean, coming off of fentanyl can't be easy physically or psychologically.
07:12Yeah.
07:13You know, it's just that old saying, just take one day at a time, and this happens to be a
07:18pretty good day.
07:20With better days coming.
07:22I mean, summer's right around the corner, and I know Katie and Johnny are going to be coming home,
07:27and I can't tell you how excited Christian is to hang out with his cousins again.
07:31Yeah, that'll be great.
07:32Yeah, that'll be great, absolutely.
07:34But right now, I want to hear more about your treatment.
07:37I mean, what do you have to do?
07:38I mean, is there a detox protocol?
07:41Do they expect you to wean off the drug cold turkey?
07:44Do they give you anything for the withdrawals?
07:49That's a lot of questions, Vic.
07:50Yeah, well, fentanyl's a powerful drug.
07:56I don't imagine that coming off of it is like a walk in the park, Nick.
08:02It's under control.
08:05You told me that Mom volunteered to be your sponsor, so, um, have you talked to her?
08:10I just, you know, with everything that's going on with her,
08:13I just didn't want to burden her with something that I know I can deal with on my own.
08:18On your own?
08:19Oh, no, no, no, no.
08:20Mom would be the first person to tell you that this is not something that you could do on your
08:24own.
08:25You need to, you need to reach out to people.
08:27You need to ask for help.
08:29I'm committed to staying clean, okay?
08:32I'm doing the work.
08:34I'm, I'm going to get through it, all right?
08:37I'm good.
08:39Maybe next time you will want to meet just so you can hang out with your little brother
08:43because he's funny and fun and you're not going to grill me about rehab.
08:47Okay, well, I'm definitely as eager as you are for you to put all of this behind you,
08:53but that's not today.
08:56So you can expect a lot more grilling from your very worried big sister.
09:11I haven't spoken to Phyllis in the last few hours,
09:15so I have no idea where her head is regarding this matter.
09:21What do you mean?
09:22You have no idea.
09:23You're aware there's a time limit on my offer and on my patient.
09:27I'm aware.
09:28I'm aware.
09:29Well, if you made her aware.
09:31Yeah.
09:32I'm doing my best.
09:35Let me explain this to you.
09:38We are calling for that scum.
09:40That clock all over town.
09:42We will find him.
09:43And when we do, she has lost a bargaining chip.
09:49Let's assume that she digs in.
09:52The case goes to trial.
09:53That is not without risk for both parties.
09:59To be frank with you, I don't give a damn.
10:01Okay?
10:05I want this to be over with.
10:08And you need to convince her to cooperate.
10:12Unfortunately, my client does not see cooperation as an option.
10:17Look, let me be very honest with you.
10:21I want to prevent sending the mother of my granddaughter someone behind bars.
10:29Okay?
10:31Now, if you have any care left for Phyllis,
10:34and a shred of loyalty taught me,
10:37you will prevail upon her to agree to my terms.
10:42Hey, listen.
10:44I'm just trying to help you,
10:45but if you don't want it,
10:47go ahead and leave.
10:48Please don't go.
10:49I'm so sorry.
10:50I must seem so ungrateful.
10:52I'm truly sorry.
10:55I mean, I get it.
10:56It's a lot of information.
10:57It really is.
10:58Yes.
10:58And none of it's good.
10:59It's not good.
11:00No.
11:01No, I'll admit that.
11:02And you still want to help me
11:04after knowing that I might be a horrible person.
11:07Why is that?
11:07I believe that everybody deserves a second chance.
11:11Yeah, I would like to believe that too.
11:15Did you find anything else, Al?
11:17Is my wife here?
11:18My wife could be in Genoa City.
11:19I could be walking by a woman who's my wife.
11:22I wouldn't even know it.
11:24No.
11:25You left so long ago.
11:29I don't know where your wife is.
11:31I mean, there's no one here pining for you, Matt.
11:35Okay.
11:35Well, if I left so long ago,
11:36why did I find a key card for this hotel in my pocket?
11:42I don't know.
11:50You're really lucky to have me.
11:51Yeah, you're not so lucky to have me back.
11:54Not if I'm who people think I am.
11:56No, the guy that you were isn't the guy you are now.
12:01I believe in you.
12:04Why?
12:06I don't know.
12:08It's a gut feeling.
12:11And my gut has never let me down.
12:14I don't want to let you down either.
12:16If the new ones are as powerful and dangerous as you say they are,
12:18then I need to leave.
12:19I've got to get out of Genoa City.
12:20It's the only way to stay safe.
12:22No, no.
12:22And I'm not just talking about me, Phyllis.
12:24I don't want you to be collateral damage.
12:25If they come at me and you're stuck in the middle,
12:27I don't want anything bad to ever happen.
12:28No, no, no.
12:29Don't worry about me.
12:31I mean, that's so kind of you.
12:33It really is.
12:35I'm really tough.
12:39You can't run, Matt.
12:42You cannot leave.
12:45The minute you leave this room,
12:48you will get caught.
12:51Okay, so I can't make amends,
12:53and I can't be here in town,
12:54and I can't leave town.
12:55So tell me, what is it you think I should do?
13:03Okay, well, if charges have been filed
13:05and you could be arrested
13:06or there's a chance that that could happen,
13:07then we need to be proactive
13:09and we need to get you attorneys.
13:10We need to be prepared, okay?
13:12And then we also need to have a conversation
13:13of why you felt that you needed
13:14to keep the secret from me.
13:15Hey, Sally.
13:16Hey, I know you want to protect me.
13:17I do, but keeping the secret from me
13:19is not protecting me, okay?
13:20We promised each other total honesty, all right?
13:23So if you're in trouble...
13:24Sally.
13:25What?
13:26I'm not in trouble.
13:28You're not?
13:29No.
13:30I'm not in trouble.
13:32You swear?
13:33I swear.
13:35On the love I have for you and our baby,
13:37I swear, okay?
13:38Nobody's knocking on the door
13:40and leading me away in handcuffs
13:41if I can let that happen.
13:43Most of all, because
13:44I need to do everything I can
13:46to keep your stress levels low.
13:50You have me worried.
13:52Well, there's nothing to worry about, okay?
13:57Okay.
13:58So what was it on your phone
14:00that I didn't want me to see?
14:05Look, I get the no, you know, lies thing.
14:08I really do.
14:09It's really important
14:10to be honest with each other
14:12at all times, but
14:16that also means
14:17I can't keep any secrets from you,
14:18which means I can't surprise you.
14:20And if you don't want any surprises...
14:21No, I do.
14:22I do want...
14:22Oh, you do?
14:23I do want the good kind.
14:25I do.
14:27What's my surprise?
14:29Okay, I have been texting
14:31with the best wedding planner
14:35and event planner in the country.
14:37And this guy's ideas
14:38are off the charts.
14:39I'm talking about, like,
14:40location, theme,
14:41anything we want,
14:42times 10, he will make happen.
14:45Wow.
14:46You are full of surprises.
14:48In a good way?
14:49Yes.
14:50The best.
14:55There is
14:57one problem, Bill.
15:01So, they call that
15:02the Superman Dance Challenge.
15:04Yeah.
15:05You see my guy right there, right?
15:06Mm-hmm.
15:07Yeah, front and center.
15:08All his little buddies,
15:09they're pretty good,
15:10but my dude
15:11is a star.
15:13He gets that from me, you know.
15:15From you?
15:16Sure.
15:16Oh, since when?
15:18Yeah, yeah, I know.
15:19I would show you, too, but...
15:22Well...
15:22It's too chill.
15:26How is it right now
15:27that you're so calm
15:28with everything that's going on?
15:30I mean,
15:31you've been so angry
15:32with Phyllis
15:33and this mess with Matt
15:36and dealing with your addiction
15:38and you're just...
15:38I mean, it's like hot tea
15:39and dance challenges.
15:43I mean, would you believe me
15:45if I told you
15:46I was meditating now?
15:47No.
15:48No, not for one second.
15:49That would be the last thing
15:51that you would do.
15:53Maybe.
15:54The desperate times
15:55call for desperate measures.
15:56I know you, Nicholas.
15:58Okay, I know you really well.
16:00You run hot.
16:01And right now,
16:02you're in the middle
16:03of this perfect storm of chaos.
16:07It's probably how this addiction
16:08got started in the first place.
16:13I'm good.
16:14Okay, honestly, I have it.
16:15Under control, yeah.
16:17So, you said that.
16:19But, I mean,
16:19you've only been to one session
16:21at that clinic.
16:23So, obviously,
16:24you're not, like,
16:25instantly cured.
16:29So, I don't know.
16:30What is your secret?
16:32How are you so relaxed?
16:36Your best option is me.
16:41I'm actually your only option.
16:45Uh, so, Jess,
16:48give me time.
16:49I just need time.
16:51I need to talk to the Newmans
16:56and convince them
16:57that you're a changed man
16:59and broke her a deal.
17:00You think that's possible
17:01after everything I might have done
17:02to that family?
17:04Yeah.
17:05I do.
17:06No, I do.
17:07You know,
17:08Nick is my ex-husband.
17:09And we share a child.
17:11So, I'll go right to him.
17:13I'll talk to him.
17:15And I'll convince him,
17:18you know,
17:18that you're not a threat to them.
17:20Yeah, but we don't know that, do we?
17:21We don't know that for sure, right?
17:23I mean, my memory could come back
17:24at any moment.
17:25Today, tomorrow, who knows, right?
17:26And if it does come back,
17:29maybe all of my horrible behavior,
17:31maybe all of my horrible instincts
17:32are going to come back at the same time.
17:33No, no.
17:34And if a woman has half a brain,
17:34yes, you might know that.
17:35I'll handle it.
17:36I'll handle it.
17:39No.
17:40You've done enough for me already.
17:41I think the best thing for me to do
17:43is just to leave.
17:44I got to move on.
17:45And you should forget about all of this
17:47and just get on with your life.
17:48No.
17:49No.
17:49No.
17:53You're being rash.
17:55I'm being practical, Phyllis.
17:57I don't like it either.
17:59But this is what needs to happen.
18:08I can't guarantee I'm going to get through to Phyllis.
18:11I mean, she's betting that the Newman's desire
18:15to put Matt Clark out of commission
18:18is more urgent than your desire
18:21to regain control of your company.
18:23That is a sucker's bet.
18:25All right?
18:27Let me make this perfectly clear to you.
18:30You convey that to her.
18:32If she wants to go free,
18:34she has to give up everything she's holding right now.
18:41Last word on that.
18:42I have a business meeting.
18:44I leave this in your arms.
18:48And I expect an answer
18:49by the end of day.
19:07What kind of problem?
19:08The wedding planner's next available date
19:10is June 19th, 2029.
19:16But Pietro said that...
19:17Wait, Pietro.
19:19Is this the same Pietro
19:20that did Nicky Newman's birthday bash?
19:22And Danny and Christine's wedding.
19:24And ever since he did his events,
19:25he's been book solid.
19:26I mean, book solid, like,
19:27for the next three years.
19:28Three years?
19:29Yes.
19:30And trust me,
19:30I don't want to wait that long either.
19:31I want to marry you yesterday.
19:34Although he did say
19:35that there's a potential
19:36of getting an elephant rental
19:39at a discount.
19:41An elephant?
19:43Yeah.
19:43Apparently, it's a non-refundable
19:45from a prior event.
19:46And he said that, you know,
19:49he could ride in on it.
19:50And then we can ride out together
19:51as husband and wife.
19:54I mean, that is very carny.
19:56I kind of like the idea.
19:58Could you imagine?
20:00Whatever my bride desires.
20:03Well, I love that you
20:08called Pietro to be
20:09our wedding planner.
20:10Not a lot of grooms
20:11would be brave enough
20:12to take that on.
20:13But I do think
20:15that you and I
20:15are capable enough
20:16to plan the wedding
20:18of our dreams
20:19by ourselves.
20:22Well, the good news is
20:23I don't have a lot to pack.
20:27I can't take this stuff with me.
20:29You bought me
20:30all of this stuff.
20:31Don't be ridiculous.
20:32Take it all.
20:33Everything's yours.
20:34I bought it for you.
20:35You know what?
20:36You are so right.
20:37You need to leave.
20:38You need to get
20:39out of the Newman's orbit.
20:40That's what you need to do.
20:42What are you going to do?
20:42You know, stay a hold up
20:43in this room forever?
20:44No.
20:45Well, the room service
20:46is awesome.
20:47Yeah, it's great.
20:49I have a great idea.
20:50Matt, this is what we do.
20:53So trains and buses.
20:55That's out of the question.
20:57So why don't you go
20:58put on the disguise.
21:00I'll sneak you out of here
21:01and I'll drive you
21:03anywhere you need to go.
21:05Come on.
21:05Anywhere.
21:06No, you've already done enough,
21:07more than enough,
21:08considering the position
21:09that I put.
21:09I'm not in any position.
21:11You thought you were
21:12helping out this lost,
21:13poor soul,
21:14but it turns out
21:14you were helping out
21:15like a really horrible person.
21:16So I'm sorry about that.
21:20All I see in front of me
21:23is a kind,
21:25witty,
21:26gentle man.
21:28And all I see
21:29in front of me
21:30is a kind,
21:31loving,
21:32gentle,
21:32beautiful woman
21:33who helped me out
21:34when I didn't have
21:36anyone else to turn to.
21:37So thank you.
21:42You don't have to go,
21:43do you?
21:44Yeah, I do.
21:47That's not what I want to do,
21:48but I think it's for the best.
21:53Oh, okay.
21:55Then go ahead and go.
22:10What?
22:11Father.
22:16You know,
22:17I wouldn't necessarily say
22:19that I'm relaxed,
22:19especially because
22:20I'm dealing with
22:21the new normal
22:22of Matt Clark
22:23being back in my life
22:24and then, of course,
22:26losing them in enterprises.
22:28And the drugs.
22:30Yeah, obviously,
22:32you know,
22:32but I'm just,
22:35I don't know,
22:36I'm allowing myself
22:37to just be,
22:38you know,
22:38giving myself a moment
22:40where I don't feel
22:40like I'm jumping
22:41out of my skin
22:42because of all the chaos.
22:45And please,
22:46don't make me feel guilty
22:47about that, all right?
22:49Of course, of course not.
22:49I'm not doing that.
22:50I just don't remember
22:52ever seeing you like this.
22:55I guess you could
22:56chalk it up
22:57to my session today.
22:59Really?
23:00Yeah.
23:01Look,
23:01I know you didn't believe me
23:02earlier when I said
23:03that I was meditating,
23:04but I just think
23:05it's important
23:06that I keep
23:07everything on the table,
23:09anything that will
23:10prevent me
23:10from turning back
23:11to the pills.
23:12So I'm just doing
23:13my absolute best
23:14to keep my attitude
23:15as zen as possible.
23:17You don't do zen.
23:20You know what else
23:21you don't do?
23:23I'm sure you're
23:24going to tell me.
23:25You don't lie to me.
23:28So tell me
23:29what's going on.
23:38Hey, thanks for
23:40not sending me
23:41the voicemail.
23:42Yeah, what's going on?
23:45Um, I just met
23:47with Victor.
23:48I'm worried
23:48we need to talk.
23:49Do you have good news?
23:51Uh, this needs
23:52to be done in person.
23:54Okay, meet me
23:55in my suite
23:55in about 15 minutes.
24:04You're not making
24:05this easy on me.
24:20Why would I lie to you?
24:22I don't know.
24:24To protect me?
24:26To protect yourself, maybe?
24:28Reading too much
24:29into this.
24:31When you told me
24:32about the pills
24:32and your addiction
24:35and how ashamed
24:36you were
24:37to have to tell me,
24:39well,
24:40that's because
24:41we made a pact
24:42to never do
24:43to our children
24:44what Mom did.
24:47But you know what?
24:48You did tell me
24:50because you are
24:51full of courage.
24:53And that's how I know
24:54you're going to get
24:55through this
24:55and we all will
24:56but you have
24:57to be honest
24:58with me.
25:02Okay, I love you
25:03but you are making
25:05a bigger issue
25:06out of this
25:06than you need to.
25:07No, I'm not
25:08going to let you
25:08off the hook
25:09because you asked
25:10for my help
25:11and I promise
25:11to give it.
25:12And that means
25:13more to me
25:14than you will ever know
25:15but there's nothing
25:15to see here.
25:17I know that something
25:18more is going on.
25:20I can feel it,
25:21Nicholas.
25:22I don't understand
25:23why you're trying
25:24to shut me out.
25:26I'm shutting you out.
25:28Look,
25:30you can be as zen
25:31as you want,
25:32all right?
25:32You can be all of that
25:34but I know
25:36how much pressure
25:37you're under right now.
25:38I know that Matt
25:39is back
25:40and he has come
25:41after you.
25:41He's come after
25:42your family
25:42and Phyllis
25:43is dangling him
25:44like some
25:45stupid bargaining chip
25:46and I know
25:49that you've got
25:50to be worried
25:50out of your mind.
25:52And when you're
25:53worried out of your mind,
25:55I know
25:55who you come
25:56to talk to
25:57and that's
25:59that's me.
26:03Yeah, of course.
26:04You may ride or die.
26:05You always will be.
26:06Yes, exactly.
26:08You are my person
26:09and you always
26:10have been.
26:12We know
26:12each other's secrets.
26:15We have
26:16each other's backs.
26:19You know,
26:19you've always
26:20protected me
26:21even when
26:22I didn't want you to.
26:26Even when
26:27it could have
26:27cost you everything.
26:30Marshall, look.
26:31Exactly.
26:33We have done things.
26:34We have seen things
26:35that, I mean,
26:37come on,
26:37only the two of us
26:38could relate to
26:39and understand.
26:42so I absolutely
26:43know when
26:44you are shutting
26:45me out, okay?
26:48That's not happening.
26:53I love you.
26:55I will always
26:56have your back.
26:58You have got
26:59to trust me.
27:01Don't lie to me.
27:02Don't, don't,
27:03don't keep things
27:03from me.
27:04Tell me the truth.
27:05What is going on
27:06with you really?
27:10I know that
27:11if we put our heads
27:12together,
27:12we will come up
27:13with the most
27:14mind-bending,
27:15mind-blowing wedding
27:16anyone has ever seen.
27:18Gosh, no pressure.
27:21We have options, right?
27:22We can do a destination
27:23wedding.
27:24We could rent
27:25an entire island.
27:26We could, you know,
27:28get a castle somewhere.
27:29We could get one
27:30of those, like,
27:31ice castles.
27:33They have those
27:34in Sweden
27:34where everybody
27:35comes on dog sleds
27:37and there's northern
27:38lights in the background
27:39glowing.
27:39It would be magical.
27:40Oh my gosh,
27:41that would be so romantic.
27:42We're also very cold.
27:44Yeah, very cool.
27:45That's a good point.
27:47We could do
27:48one of those, like,
27:50neo-medieval vibes.
27:52Is jousting involved?
27:53Mmm.
27:54With our guest list?
27:57Something in the back.
27:57Yeah, something in the back.
28:00I don't know.
28:00Maybe it's not,
28:02maybe it's not
28:03about the theme.
28:04You know,
28:05it's just the feeling
28:05that we want.
28:06You and I have been
28:07to our fair share
28:07of weddings.
28:08What makes those
28:09days so special?
28:10It's when you know
28:11the people who really
28:12love.
28:13Head over heels
28:14and love
28:14and you believe
28:15it.
28:16Everything goes perfect.
28:18Well, we definitely
28:19have that head over heels
28:20part.
28:24I wish I could figure
28:25out all the rest
28:26of the details.
28:29I don't know.
28:29All the weddings
28:30that I've been to,
28:31they've not just
28:33been elegant,
28:34they've been fun.
28:35Yeah.
28:36Like a real celebration
28:37of love.
28:39So we have to
28:40throw a party.
28:41Our love is bigger
28:42than a party.
28:45Why don't we
28:46make it a carnival?
29:01Hello?
29:04When you a deadline,
29:06end of the day,
29:07you hand over
29:08Matt and Newman
29:10in exchange for him
29:11convincing Christine
29:12to drop all the charges
29:14against you.
29:14Uh,
29:16no.
29:17Yeah,
29:18this is my deal.
29:19It's not his deal.
29:20I call the shots.
29:22I don't think Victor
29:23sees it that way.
29:23I'm sure he doesn't.
29:25He's a bully.
29:26He just wants me
29:26to fall to my knees
29:27and do whatever he says
29:29and make a deal.
29:29No.
29:30No.
29:31I hold the cards,
29:33Michael.
29:33One card.
29:34One card.
29:35Matt Clark.
29:35Of course.
29:36And that should be enough
29:38for Victor
29:38to want to do
29:39a deal with me.
29:40It's not going to happen
29:41unless you throw in...
29:42Okay.
29:42No deal.
29:45Are you serious?
29:46I don't need Victor.
29:47Excuse me?
29:48Victor is no longer
29:50relevant to me.
29:51How do you hope
29:52to get Christine
29:53to back off the charges
29:54without Victor's influence?
29:55Well, it's called
29:56thinking outside the box,
29:57Michael.
29:58You should try it.
29:58All right?
29:59I don't need that old goat.
30:00I don't need you.
30:01You're fired.
30:02Again?
30:02Yes.
30:03You're fired.
30:04It's done.
30:05Your services
30:06are no longer required.
30:14What the hell
30:14are you up to?
30:20A carnival.
30:22Okay.
30:23I'm not
30:24sure
30:25what you mean by that.
30:26I don't know
30:27what I mean by that either.
30:28I just know
30:29that when we first connected,
30:31we talked about you
30:33running around
30:34in the carny life
30:34and I just thought
30:35how amazing
30:36that would be
30:36as a kid
30:37to run off
30:37in a circus.
30:39No?
30:40Yeah.
30:42But if you remember
30:43my stories,
30:44I kind of wanted
30:45to run away from it.
30:47And you did that too.
30:49And you brought
30:50the magic with you.
30:51Which is what
30:52I fell in love with.
30:53Okay.
30:55So you want
30:55a carnival.
30:58You do realize
30:59our relationship
31:00has been a rollercoaster
31:00already, right?
31:02Trail ride from day one.
31:03Okay.
31:06So,
31:07carnival.
31:08What does that look like?
31:09Like a Ferris wheel?
31:11Yeah.
31:11Or a carousel
31:12or a fun house?
31:13Mirror maze?
31:13No,
31:14no Macy's.
31:16No Macy's.
31:17Way too soon
31:17after what happened
31:18at Keynes Villa
31:18in France.
31:19Yes,
31:20actually,
31:20I agree.
31:21That's a very good point.
31:22But all of it,
31:23you know,
31:23the games,
31:24the skeet ball,
31:25the ring toss,
31:25the throw,
31:26the little,
31:26you know,
31:27thing,
31:28win the stuffed anime.
31:29All of it.
31:29People will love it.
31:30Oh,
31:31we could do
31:31the menu
31:32with cotton candy
31:33and funnel cakes.
31:35Deep fried everything.
31:37We could do
31:37little sideshows
31:39or a petting zoo.
31:41Oh,
31:42it would be cute
31:42with kids.
31:44It would be so cute.
31:45And you could,
31:45actually,
31:46you could call Pietro
31:46about that discounted elephant.
31:49He could do tricks.
31:51It would be a blast.
31:53You know what?
31:55Now that I think about it,
31:57I want to go
31:57in a different direction.
31:59What direction is that?
32:02I don't want
32:02all the flashy colors
32:03and the bright lights
32:05that distract from
32:06the main event,
32:06which is you.
32:09And I want all eyes on you
32:10because you are perfect.
32:12And I want everyone
32:13to see that.
32:22What am I up to?
32:23My goodness.
32:24What am I up to?
32:25Well,
32:26I'm trying to save
32:27my own ass.
32:28That's what I'm trying to do.
32:30I mean,
32:30you've made it
32:31abundantly clear
32:32that the only solution
32:34is to give in to Victor.
32:35So,
32:36to give him
32:37Matt Clark
32:38and Newman
32:39in exchange for my freedom.
32:40I'm not doing that.
32:42You lack imagination.
32:43Oh,
32:44you would actually
32:45risk your freedom
32:46rather than acquiesce
32:47to Victor's proposal.
32:48Yeah,
32:48I was all willing
32:49to acquiesce
32:51before,
32:52Michael.
32:53I am trying
32:54to stay out of prison
32:56and maintain
32:56control of my company.
32:58Okay,
32:58okay.
32:59How are you going
33:00to do that?
33:00How am I going
33:01to do that?
33:01I don't know.
33:02I'm going to figure it out.
33:03I really don't need you anymore.
33:04Now is not the time
33:05to be reckless.
33:06I'm not being reckless.
33:07You haven't really
33:08been a lot of help
33:09to me.
33:12You begged me
33:14to represent you.
33:15Begged you?
33:15Begged you?
33:16That's an exaggeration.
33:16And now all you've done
33:18is refuse to take my advice
33:19and refuse to understand
33:21that I am working
33:22for the best I have done
33:23for you.
33:24No,
33:24for you.
33:25No,
33:25no,
33:26you're working for Victor,
33:27not me.
33:27You know what?
33:28I fired you.
33:29Just tell me what I owe you.
33:30It's over.
33:32Okay,
33:33if you think you can
33:33do this by yourself,
33:35good for you.
33:36Yeah.
33:37Right?
33:38Have a great time.
33:39Uh,
33:39thank you.
33:40I,
33:41I,
33:41I will.
33:43Yeah.
33:47Here you go.
33:48My bad.
33:49Should have had one
33:50of those waiting for you.
33:51I know what you're doing.
33:53Oh,
33:53yeah?
33:54Yeah,
33:54I'm buying my sister
33:56a cup of coffee.
33:56You're stalling,
33:57which means
33:58you don't want
33:59to answer my question,
34:01which means I'm right.
34:03You're hiding something.
34:04Vic,
34:05come out for the last time.
34:08I've got this,
34:09okay?
34:10I swear it.
34:16Oh,
34:16this is one of the doctors
34:17from today.
34:18They probably just want
34:19to go over my session.
34:20I'll,
34:20uh,
34:21look right back.
34:29Hey.
34:30Hey.
34:31Do you have an update for me?
34:33I'm ready to make the exchange
34:34if you can deliver on your part.
34:42So no carnival wedding?
34:45I mean,
34:45hey,
34:45you know me,
34:46I like to go big,
34:47but
34:48there's a part of me
34:49that thinks maybe
34:49keeping this small,
34:50you know,
34:51a little more intimate
34:52with friends and family.
34:55I do
34:55understand your impulse,
34:59but
35:00first wedding,
35:02baby with the man
35:03that I love.
35:04I want to go big.
35:06I want extravagant.
35:07I want over the top,
35:09crazy and loud energy.
35:11Extravagant during the top it is.
35:12Okay.
35:13I've already been thinking
35:14about my wedding dress,
35:15but we do need to lock in a date
35:16because I need to figure out
35:17how much material I'm,
35:19I'm really going to engage.
35:20It's a very good point.
35:21Do you want to get married
35:24before you start the show,
35:25which could be very soon,
35:26or do you want to wait
35:27until after the little bundle
35:28of joy arrives?
35:29No.
35:30No waiting.
35:31I cannot think
35:31of a better way
35:33to celebrate us,
35:35our love,
35:36and our excitement
35:37for the future
35:38than to get married
35:39when I'm showing.
35:41You will be radiant.
35:43You already are.
35:44Yeah,
35:45well,
35:45love will do that to you.
35:49What do you think about
35:54October?
35:56October sounds great.
35:58We have a date-ish.
35:59We have the month.
36:00Yeah,
36:00I mean,
36:01we have a lot of details
36:02to figure out,
36:02but we have time.
36:06For what?
36:08Just everything.
36:10I haven't been this happy
36:11in a very,
36:13very long time,
36:14that makes you very optimistic
36:15about the future.
36:18Our baby on the way,
36:19being in love with you
36:20and a love that grows
36:21stronger every day.
36:25I'm the luckiest man
36:26in the world.
36:38Did you sell fellas?
36:40I did.
36:42What do you have
36:43an answer for me?
36:44I got nothing.
36:46You got nothing.
36:48Did you tell her
36:49about the deadline?
36:50Yes,
36:50I did.
36:52And I suggest
36:53you go back upstairs
36:54and tell her
36:54how damn urgent
36:55this is.
36:57She fired me,
36:58Victor.
36:59You'll be dealing
37:00with Phyllis
37:01directly from now on.
37:03Excuse me.
37:10Say the word.
37:11Did Christine agree?
37:13Christine seems
37:14willing to negotiate,
37:16but she needs proof
37:17that you actually
37:18have Matt.
37:19I wouldn't mind
37:19seeing some myself.
37:21Not that I don't
37:21trust you,
37:22but nothing's gonna
37:23happen until then.
37:28You want proof?
37:30Check your phone.
37:31going here.
37:38I want to do it.
37:39Got you,
37:39you son of a bitch.
37:39You son of a bitch.
37:42I don't see you.
37:43You son of a bitch.
