00:12Hi.
00:16Hi.
00:21Oh.
00:22I don't know.
00:23It's you.
00:25Saw on the way in, but there's a coffee cart in the lobby.
00:29No, let me.
00:30Okay.
00:35Uh, I was really surprised to see that you were coming.
00:41I didn't really expect...
00:43Yeah.
00:46This is for you.
00:52Is this true?
00:54Does Phyllis have access to Matt Clark?
00:56That doesn't matter.
00:58How can you say that?
00:59You just gave me this whole speech about what a slime he is.
01:02How he blew up his drug warehouse with you and Sharon and Noah and Adam.
01:06Yes, he has tried to kill us repeatedly.
01:09So why are you letting Phyllis force your hand?
01:12I'm focused on Matt, okay?
01:14I cannot give this man any more chances to hurt people I care about.
01:17He needs to be taken out immediately.
01:19So you're proposing that I bring Matt to justice in exchange for dropping charges against Phyllis?
01:27That's why.
01:28It's not in your family's best interest.
01:29Christine, I'm offering you a win.
01:31No questions asked.
01:33I don't work like that.
01:34I'm a lawyer.
01:35I like questions.
01:37This sounds like something Phyllis would suggest.
01:39No.
01:40I'm here on my own.
01:42No outside pressure.
01:44If you had Matt, you would turn him over.
01:48So I don't believe you do.
01:50But Phyllis does.
01:52She holds all the cards.
01:54What does it matter who has Matt?
01:57As long as you wind up getting him.
02:02Do we have a deal or not?
02:06Sharon, I have to go.
02:09Oh, it's your bargaining chip?
02:12I don't need a lecture from you.
02:14I've had enough of those for a lifetime.
02:18Pardon me for giving you warnings about the assailant you have in your possession.
02:23You know, the Newman family should be thanking me.
02:27Yeah.
02:28Matt Clark in exchange for my freedom.
02:31That seems only fair.
02:33You're playing games.
02:34Everybody's playing games.
02:36Everybody is.
02:38Sharon, don't you understand?
02:39I'm going to make sure that that psychopath gets locked up.
02:44I will be responsible for that.
02:47Basically, I'll be the hero of this situation.
02:50You're welcome.
02:52Wait.
02:55What?
02:57After everything that man has done to me, to my son, to Nick, I deserve answers.
03:05Where is he?
03:06What have you done with him, Phyllis?
03:10I need to be convinced that you can deliver Matt Clark.
03:14Right now, I'm not.
03:16Figure out a way to change that, and we can talk further about Phyllis.
03:19I get it.
03:20That sounds totally fair.
03:22Okay.
03:23Hey, Nick.
03:24Hey, bud.
03:26I hope I'm not interrupting Christine.
03:28Do you have a minute?
03:29Can we talk in private?
03:31Sure.
03:31We done here?
03:32Yeah, we're good.
03:33I'll get you what you need.
03:35And see you.
03:36See you.
03:37Yeah.
03:40Hey.
03:41Something wrong?
03:42Well, I hope not.
03:44Have you heard from my dad?
03:57Is this from Dominic?
03:59Mm-hmm.
04:03He made me a card.
04:10You wanted me to give that to you and tell you that he's sad that you're still sick.
04:16Sick?
04:17Yeah, you're in a hospital, so that's what we told him.
04:24Well, his handwriting is incredible.
04:28Spelled every word correctly.
04:30And he even wrote a little picture.
04:34It's an ice cream sundae for when you're feeling better.
04:39For when I'm not sick anymore.
04:44Thank you, Duvange, for bringing this to me.
04:48My son asked me to do it.
04:51Yeah, but you didn't have to.
04:55But you're a great dad, so you're sitting here with me.
04:59Your son's kidnapper.
05:01And I'm really glad that you decided to bring this to me because it gives me the opportunity
05:06to say, once again, how deeply sorry I am.
05:18Duvange, I'm so sorry for the pain that it caused you and Abby and Dominic.
05:27Yeah, your father left last night to go to Europe to do a concert.
05:30Didn't you get the itinerary?
05:32He should have landed by now.
05:34He hasn't checked in.
05:36Oh, well, yeah, come to think of it, he hasn't with me either.
05:40It's not like him.
05:41He's busy.
05:42He has a jam-packed schedule.
05:44Come on, it's two texts.
05:45It's you and it's me.
05:46Okay, you know what?
05:46I love your father more than life itself, but he's a little distractible.
05:52As rock stars can be.
05:53Okay, listen, I promise, don't worry.
05:55You'll hear from him once the concert's over.
05:57And if you want to give him a nudge, just, uh, sick Lucy on him.
06:02Secret weapon.
06:03That's genius.
06:05It's pretty genius, actually.
06:07You know, I'm sorry.
06:08I don't mean to freak out on you.
06:11Do not say you're sorry.
06:13We're family.
06:14We check on each other.
06:16I think I'm just a little on edge lately, especially with everything that's been going on with my mother.
06:22Speaking of which, where do things stand with her case?
06:27Tell me where he is.
06:30He wants me dead, Phyllis.
06:32And Noah.
06:33And Nick.
06:34What if something were to happen to Noah?
06:37Do you really want to be responsible for that?
06:38He is Summer's brother.
06:40Nothing's going to happen.
06:41I promise you nothing's going to happen.
06:43Like I said, I have this under control.
06:45You can't control him, Phyllis.
06:47He is a manipulator.
06:49He is a manipulator, a predator.
06:51He may very well be stringing you along right now.
06:56And when he turns on you, you won't know it until it's too late.
07:00I think I can handle myself.
07:03The clinic left us both very vulnerable.
07:07Completely at the mercy of another person.
07:10And ever since then, you've had this relentless need to control, to absolutely dictate your every move in your life.
07:22And that's a bad thing?
07:24Well, it is when it's at the expense of someone else or yourself.
07:29You know, you're headed for a crash and burn.
07:31And you can't even see it.
07:37Okay.
07:38I get it.
07:39Sharon, listen.
07:42I understand what you're trying to do.
07:43You don't have to keep on bringing up the clinic.
07:46I get it already.
07:47I get it.
07:50If the Newmans just worked with me, this will all work out.
07:59I promise.
08:01Pass that along to Nick.
08:04Better hope you're right.
08:06Trust me, I am.
08:17Daniel, I can't say much about the case against your mom.
08:21But the evidence, I mean, you've seen the evidence by now at this point, right?
08:24I mean, even if it is fake, which she claims and insists that it is, how bad do things look
08:30for her?
08:31Daniel.
08:31Yeah, I know, I know.
08:33Right, yeah.
08:34You can't talk about it.
08:35I get it.
08:36But you arrested her, which means you must have had cause.
08:42And judging from the look on your face, I'm guessing it's not good news.
08:45I am sorry that you have to deal with your mother's actions.
08:49You and Summer.
08:50I know how hard this is on both of you.
08:52Wow, that's mom, right?
08:53Questionable actions and occasional legal consequences.
08:57I mean, that's just par for the course, right?
09:00Well, I'm not taking this lightly.
09:01And I don't have a vendetta against Phyllis.
09:05I am just following the facts.
09:08You know, as angry as I've been with her, as much as I want her just to get her act
09:11together,
09:13she's still my mother.
09:15I hate the thought of her possibly going to prison.
09:18Yeah.
09:20Unfortunately, it's a real possibility.
09:23Is there anything I can do to stop it, or we can do to stop it?
09:27I think we just have to let the case play out.
09:32She should just give the damn company back to the Newmans.
09:34I mean, wouldn't that just solve everything?
09:35I don't think that's going to happen.
09:39What if I made it happen?
09:41Would that change your mind about dropping the charges against her?
10:09Hey, what's up?
10:12Hey, did you two come together?
10:15Uh, no, no, no.
10:15I came through the front.
10:16Just a coincidence.
10:18Yeah, no, I was at this bookstore up the street.
10:19There's a new book out in the series that Sienna likes, and I really wanted to get it for her.
10:24Sienna is afraid to leave the house now that we know Matt Clark is back in January City.
10:29Yeah, she doesn't feel confident Phyllis can keep Matt stashed away somewhere,
10:33assuming Phyllis really does have him.
10:35I don't think Phyllis is lying, but she knows the risk is too high for her if she doesn't give
10:40Matt to us.
10:42Phyllis was just here.
10:43I think you're right.
10:44She does have Matt.
10:47Did you get a sense of where she might be hiding him?
10:49No.
10:50Believe me, I tried to convince her of how dangerous he is,
10:54and how she's putting herself at risk being around him, not to mention all of us.
10:58Well, don't worry.
10:59This is going to be over soon.
11:01I made Phyllis an offer that she cannot refuse.
11:06Well, I didn't come here to get an apology.
11:09Because it doesn't change what I've done, I know.
11:16I know you think that I shouldn't be here, that I should be in prison.
11:23Yeah, I'm not going to apologize for requesting the court to review your plea deal.
11:27No, no, I'm not asking you to.
11:30If that were my kid, I would have done the exact same thing.
11:35I would have rained hell down on whoever did that, no matter what they were to me.
11:40All right.
11:43What?
11:49I just have everybody in my life telling me that I need to forgive you.
11:54And that, you know, you weren't in your right mind, and you just need help now.
11:59And I know that's all rational, and it's fair, but I haven't given a damn, because you took my son.
12:06And now I have you sitting here telling me I don't have to worry about forgiveness, so it's a lot.
12:14Why did you bring this to me?
12:15I told you why I brought it there.
12:17Well, I know, but you could have put it in the mail.
12:20You could have given it to Christine or Sharon.
12:24I mean, hell, you could have put it in a drawer and pretended like it never existed.
12:29Maybe there's some stuff I've needed to face.
12:33Me?
12:34Yeah.
12:36Like I said, I've had everybody, my whole family, tell me that I need to deal with my anger towards
12:41you
12:41and take a closer look at those feelings.
12:45Have you?
12:50Every day.
12:52I feel like it, I do.
12:55And I'm sorry to say that nothing's changed for me.
12:59Nothing at all.
13:00And I don't know when the switch happened for Abby either, because she hated you for a while.
13:04Especially when you had Dominic.
13:06And I was the one that had to talk her down and keep focused on getting him back.
13:11Abby and Dominic were the priority.
13:13Of course.
13:15And even when he got him back, she was able to make peace with it.
13:18I was not.
13:20When you found out you were going to be put in this hospital, and we weren't happy about it,
13:25she accepted it.
13:26I couldn't accept it.
13:27That's when I went and got my attorney, filed the appeal.
13:31And that didn't happen, and it worked out, and now I'm delivering gifts to the person who took my child.
13:39Oh, God.
13:46You know, I will never forget how I felt when I found out that you were the one that took
13:50him.
13:51I will never forget it, Mariah, because I couldn't believe it.
13:56I couldn't believe it.
13:57And yet, there you were, walking Dominic away from that motel.
14:02Do you know how I felt when he said to us that he told you he wanted to go home
14:06and you wouldn't take him?
14:08Do you have any idea how that made me feel as a parent?
14:12And you can try to rationalize it.
14:14You can try to explain it away, how you have.
14:16But you took my son.
14:17You took my son.
14:18You did it to your friend.
14:20I'm your friend, man.
14:22We've been through a lot together.
14:24What the hell?
14:26I'm sorry.
14:27I...
14:29I can barely look at you, let alone forgive you, because I want you to experience just a fraction of
14:36the pain that you put me through.
14:43Our mother broke the law.
14:45There are consequences.
14:47So there's no way out for her?
14:49I mean, maybe under the right circumstances, I might, uh, change my position.
14:57What if she gave back what she stole?
14:59Would that qualify?
15:01She's made it very clear she's not going to do that.
15:04She's pretty stubborn.
15:05She might just have to give in this time.
15:08Since when have you known her to compromise?
15:11I was in a hole of my own, and I...
15:15I brought Dominic with me.
15:17Dominic didn't even know what was going on.
15:19You had fun with you?
15:21I was never going to hurt him, Devon.
15:24He's asked repeatedly to see you since you've been away.
15:28Yeah.
15:29That's because he is a caring, lovely little boy
15:36with a really, really big heart, and that's just a...
15:41That's a testament to you and Abby.
15:46I want to say, um, when I came to see you guys at the house afterwards, I...
15:56I just wanted to apologize, but I was wrong, and it was not the right time, and I just...
16:02I don't even care about the apology.
16:04It's really the last thing I care about.
16:06It's the why.
16:08The why is what I can't wrap my head around.
16:14Well...
16:17If you would be willing to listen, I could try to explain.
16:30Where the hell are you, Ben?
16:31Didn't I tell you?
16:36What's she doing here?
16:45It's a lot of time in here trying to figure out why.
16:49I know at some point I lost connection with reality, and I fell into a darkness that I
16:57didn't really know how to get out of, and for some reason, Dominic became this...
17:08this beacon, like this light that was going to lead me out of it.
17:15And when he was born, when I first held him in my hands, I had such a strong connection
17:22with him, you know?
17:23I felt like he was mine.
17:27And then...
17:29I had to let go of him.
17:32And that was extremely tough, and I know you know that, because you were there.
17:39Yeah.
17:40Part of me knew that the plan to take Dominic was wrong, and I wanted to stop, but there
17:48was this other part, this, like, stronger part that was just telling me it was necessary.
17:56And that stronger part was Ian Ward.
17:59Yeah.
18:01Uh-huh, yeah.
18:03You know, I...
18:06I heard him.
18:09I saw him, and he was...
18:13I don't know, he was just kind of this, like, guide that was...
18:20helping me move forward when I didn't know how.
18:24Do you still see him?
18:24No.
18:25At all?
18:25No.
18:27He's gone.
18:31And I know now that he wasn't real, but he felt very, very real.
18:39I was broken.
18:42I felt broken, and I was trying to fix it.
18:45I just went about it the wrong way.
18:48And that's not an excuse.
18:49I promise.
18:51It's not.
18:52I did a terrible thing.
18:56And I knew I was doing it.
18:59But there are also reasons that I did it, you know?
19:02There were parts of me that I haven't addressed since I was a kid.
19:06Things that were broken.
19:08And coming here, working through that stuff, that is really the only way to truly move forward.
19:20So I just, I want to say thank you.
19:23You know, thank you for coming here and listening to me and...
19:33Giving voice to feelings, it matters.
19:40But I also know that it doesn't make them go away.
19:44Yeah, no, it doesn't.
19:45It doesn't make any feelings go away, Mariah, because, I mean, you could have been led by Ian,
19:50but you literally just told me that you knew exactly what you were doing,
19:55which was kidnapping Dominic from your friends.
20:01You're not just angry, you're hurt.
20:08Not that it is any of your business, Phyllis, but Matt and I, we've become friends.
20:13Friends?
20:14Friends.
20:14Being friends with someone like that is like being friends with a piranha.
20:18She's just jealous.
20:19Of you.
20:20That would be sad.
20:22Ah, he needed someone to be honest with him.
20:25Seems like he was getting the wrong impression.
20:28About you.
20:30Ah, yeah, so it's some straight.
20:31Told him that you were out for yourself, that you were using him to get what you want,
20:35and then you were just gonna snap him in the back.
20:38Don't listen to her.
20:39She tried to kill my kid.
20:41Okay.
20:41You know that.
20:42Patty says that she's had some psychiatric care and she's reformed now.
20:45Mm-hmm, unlike her.
20:47Go back to your cell.
20:48Okay, it makes me so uncomfortable when there's hostility between the two of you, so can we
20:52just stop?
20:52I've got a lot to deal with right now.
20:54Just don't let her upset you.
20:55Oh, please, shut up.
20:56I got a lot on my plate.
20:57I gotta figure out why I'm here and who I am and why the Newmans hate me so much.
21:00No, I have the answers for you where that's concerned.
21:03About that, Phyllis?
21:04Why did you lie to me?
21:07What are you talking about?
21:08Well, you said that you didn't know who the Newmans were, but you were married to one
21:10of them?
21:12You told him that, didn't you?
21:14Oops.
21:15Why would you do something like that?
21:17I thought we were friends.
21:19Why would you play games with my mind like that?
21:25How do you think you can convince Christine to drop the charges against Phyllis?
21:30Well, I told her that I would give her Matt.
21:32Matt, the feds are now involved.
21:34They've attached drug trafficking to the attempted murder charges.
21:38Christine would get the opportunity to deliver him.
21:41Are you sure Phyllis can be trusted and that you'll be able to get a deal done with her
21:46behind your father's back?
21:49I'm sorry.
21:50I'm sorry I didn't tell you that I was married to one of the Newmans.
21:54I apologize.
21:55I just, I didn't tell you because I didn't want you to mistrust me.
21:59And it's such a distant part of my past.
22:02Oh, please.
22:03Summer is a new man.
22:05I don't say my daughter's name one more time.
22:08Okay, you know what, Phyllis?
22:09I will take you down.
22:10How long?
22:10How long have you known who he is?
22:12How long?
22:13Answer that.
22:14Hey, Matt.
22:15She lied to you because she's hiding her intentions.
22:19You should not believe anything she says.
22:21Yeah, but, you know, here's the thing.
22:23I do.
22:24I, I, I trust you.
22:26I believe you.
22:27Why is that, Phyllis?
22:30Well, I think it's because I trust you, too.
22:34And I really want to tell you everything that I found out.
22:37But not in front of that bitch.
22:39Not in front of you.
22:40Phillips, I can't, I can't.
22:41I took him and I didn't do anything about it.
22:43I let it happen.
22:45I should have got on the phone.
22:47I should have called the police immediately.
22:48I should have gotten in the car and went after you.
22:50But I didn't.
22:50I let it happen, okay?
22:53Don't do that.
22:53Don't do what?
22:54Don't blame yourself.
22:56What are you talking about?
22:57It's my son.
22:58It's my son.
22:59I made a promise to him that I'd protect him,
23:02and I didn't do it.
23:02I failed.
23:07Just give it to me.
23:08Come on.
23:09Yeah.
23:10Most of it's not good, okay?
23:12Not good.
23:13No.
23:13So, you have tried to, uh, kill various members of the Newmans.
23:22More than once, actually.
23:27Assault, rape.
23:30No.
23:33No.
23:34No, that's, no, that's not a, no.
23:36That's not true.
23:37That's, that's, that's not a thing that's true.
23:39No.
23:40What do you, you, you, you think I'm a horrible person?
23:43You think that I'm that kind of a person?
23:45I mean, it would make sense now.
23:46Why everybody that I see on the street just wants to walk right up to me,
23:48punching her in the face, right?
23:49The kid.
23:50The man from my memory.
23:52The man from your memory, I'm sure, is my ex-husband.
23:55About that, did you find anything else?
23:57No, I didn't find anything else.
23:59If I'm married, I mean, who would marry a guy like me, right?
24:02I mean, it makes sense, because if what you're saying is true.
24:04If what I'm saying is true.
24:05Yes.
24:14If what you're saying is true.
24:16No, I'm saying that, no.
24:17I don't think you're lying.
24:18I don't think you're a liar.
24:19I think you are saying a thing that is not the truth.
24:23I think if I were a horrible person like that, that I would know that.
24:26You would know that.
24:27You wouldn't want to help me.
24:28You would be afraid of me.
24:30Why did you withhold the information about your ex, Phyllis?
24:33Well, I'm not going to tell you things about my history.
24:35I mean, that's unnecessary.
24:37It's totally necessary, because it has to do with me and my life and what I need to know.
24:42Well, why are you going to Patty, Matt?
24:45I mean, she's not doing anything for you except, oh, you know, flirting with you.
24:50No.
24:50She's just trash-talking me.
24:52Actually, what Patty said made a lot of sense.
24:54Okay, well then, go hang out with Patty.
24:57Go be with Patty, all right?
24:59I don't have time for this.
25:00I'm trying to help you, but I will get it.
25:02Go, go, go, go.
25:03Please don't go.
25:04Phyllis, hold on.
25:10Please don't leave me right now.
25:14Please.
25:17I'm just surprised you had a change of heart about Matt.
25:21You were so determined to deal with him on your own.
25:24Yeah, I was, but this seems like the best solution now.
25:28Well, Matt could find a way out again.
25:31Escape prison time.
25:33Are you concerned about that?
25:35No, that's not going to happen.
25:37Christine doesn't want someone like Matt walking the streets again.
25:40She'll do whatever is necessary to make sure that he stays put.
25:43What if Grandpa finds out about your deal with Phyllis and interferes?
25:47Dad can't stop this plan.
25:51Sounds great if you can pull it off, right, Mom?
25:54Yeah, if everything goes the way your father says.
25:59What does that mean?
26:02Well, you told us that you had a plan to kill Matt.
26:07And that was the only option you wanted.
26:10And now you're saying that you are willing to hand him over to the cops?
26:14I mean, tell me if I'm wrong, but something just seems off here.
26:26I fully intend to hand Matt right over to the police.
26:32Unharmed?
26:33Yep.
26:35Look, I agree with Mom that your flip seems a bit traumatic, but I say we do whatever it takes
26:41to get rid of Matt.
26:42Yeah, exactly.
26:44Just promise me that you won't take matters into your own hands once you have access to Matt.
26:52Yeah, I promise.
26:55Please, Phyllis, just, like...
26:57I'm really sorry.
26:59I, um...
27:01Yeah, I don't mean to sound ungrateful to you.
27:03I just...
27:04There's a lot.
27:05There's a lot going on.
27:07There's a lot to take in.
27:08I understand.
27:11I've decided that I don't want my memories back.
27:14I'm good.
27:14I'm okay.
27:15I mean, who wants to hear that they're capable of being such a horrible person?
27:18Not me.
27:22Hey.
27:24Everybody deserves forgiveness.
27:26I don't feel safe.
27:28I think I should leave.
27:29I think, I think I need to get out of town.
27:31I think it's time for me to leave town.
27:35I can't let you do that.
27:38It's the second time that you've told me that I can't leave Genoa City.
27:43Why is that?
27:44What is it you're not telling me?
27:49I did this.
27:51Devon, I did.
27:54Me.
27:55Not you.
27:57Mariah, I made a promise to my wife and my son and to God.
28:04And even the chance that I would do everything in my power to protect that little boy.
28:10And I've made that promise to you.
28:13Okay?
28:13You were the first person to ever make sure he was safe when you carried him.
28:16And Dominic is safe now.
28:18You found him.
28:20And you brought him home.
28:21And in doing so, you, you also brought me home so that I could get hope.
28:26Which is extraordinarily kind.
28:30There's not a day that goes by that I don't regret that you're not in prison.
28:34And I'm sorry.
28:39Do you know that I wanted the same thing?
28:44Yeah, I didn't want to take the plea deal.
28:47I did not think that I deserved this.
28:52But my mom and Tessa and Christine, they convinced me that coming here and getting treatment, getting better, is the
29:03only real way to help all of us heal.
29:08To that guilt you feel, I feel it.
29:16Those promises you made to Dominic.
29:21I made those promises, too.
29:23I made them to Aria.
29:25I didn't take care of myself.
29:28I gave up on my family.
29:33That's how I got here.
29:37So, I'm just asking you, please, please, don't let, don't let the anger suck you in.
29:51Maria, I'm going to do my best.
29:54I'm going to do my best to forgive you and to accept your apology.
30:00That's all I can do.
30:02Devon, I really appreciate that.
30:05You have no idea, but...
30:08What I really, really need you to do...
30:13Is just, please, forgive yourself.
