00:06Hey, what brings you home when in the middle of the day?
00:09Oh, Harrison forgot to sign some work, so I stopped by to pick it up.
00:14Hey, you working from home?
00:15Yeah, pretty much every day.
00:17Probably smart.
00:18Makes it less likely that Patty Williams will pop by to harass you.
00:21Well, at least things are a little quieter on that front.
00:24Really?
00:25Did she finally get the hint and leave town?
00:27No such luck.
00:28Last I talked to Patty, she made it very clear she'll be sticking around.
00:32I wonder how Victor feels about that.
00:34Why would that matter?
00:36He has to know she's a loose cannon.
00:38If I were him, I would want her to disappear so he could keep his hands clean.
00:43Either that, or he is paying her to hang around and cause trouble.
00:48Who knows with that guy?
00:58Who knows with that guy?
01:01Who knows with that guy.
01:03Who knows with that guy.
01:14I wonder if he can't see you next year.
01:21I wonder if he can see you next year.
01:22Who knows with that guy?
01:24Who knows with that guy, he could have the two to the
01:49Oh, my God, what a relief that is over.
01:53Pretty good news about Malcolm there, eh?
01:55It is very encouraging.
01:57Come on, Mom, you can do better than that.
02:00Malcolm sailed through that procedure like a shame.
02:03I'm a doctor, son. We wait before we celebrate.
02:08It looks like someone didn't want to wait. Where'd that come from?
02:11Nice.
02:12Oh, wow. Is that from Claire?
02:16Is it?
02:17Regardless of the outcome, I figured you could all use this of Malcolm.
02:22Oh, my God, he must have said it before his procedure.
02:25No wonder why he was asking where you two were staying.
02:28I swear, that is so Malcolm.
02:31So what do you say we follow the man's lead and have some champagne?
02:37Who wants some?
02:38Okay.
02:38I do. I want some.
02:44You didn't think I could pull this off, did you?
02:47Definitely had my doubts.
02:49You thought I was bluffing when I said I had Matt Clark, didn't you?
02:52Well, I certainly didn't think that you would lie about something like that, but I am curious.
02:58How exactly did you knock out Matt Clark and tie him up on your own?
03:02Come on, you know me.
03:04When I want something this badly, I'll do anything. You know that.
03:10This picture. This is recent.
03:14Uh-huh.
03:16Took it an hour ago.
03:20Don't be so paranoid. I have this under control.
03:25Famous last words. Do you know how many times I've said that when it comes to Matt Clark?
03:28Look at me. I'm still chasing him.
03:30Well, now you've caught him.
03:31No, I haven't.
03:34I still have no idea where he is.
03:36Well, you get Christine to drop the charges against me, and I'll take you to him.
04:07God, you've got to be so relieved after all of these weeks trying to find a donor.
04:12Not to mention everything that came along with finding a donor.
04:17Are you still angry with me about that?
04:20You did a good thing, Ma.
04:22The right thing. You've been a warrior throughout.
04:25All of this, a true champion.
04:27Malcolm, I'm proud of you.
04:30Thank you, sir.
04:31It's still going to be a few weeks though, right?
04:33Yeah, we've got to make sure there's no complications and that Malcolm's body starts producing healthy blood cells.
04:39But you still feel good about everything?
04:43Couldn't have gone any better.
04:45Amazing.
04:49Who are you calling?
04:51I am going to call the man who made all of this possible.
05:03Hey.
05:04Did Malcolm pull through okay?
05:07I will let you decide for yourself.
05:11Malcolm.
05:11Malcolm is in the home stride.
05:13Yes!
05:14Oh.
05:19I don't believe Victor is behind Patty sticking around Genoa City.
05:23Why?
05:24Did he suddenly develop a conscience?
05:26No, that's not going to happen.
05:28But I...
05:29I don't think her decision has anything to do with the old buzzard.
05:32I think she honestly believes that she can make amends to the people she's hurt.
05:37Come on, don't tell me you're buying the whole,
05:39I'm sorry, I was a homicidal maniac.
05:41I've changed now, act.
05:43She claims to be completely cured.
05:44Come on, you don't really believe her, do you?
05:46No, I don't.
05:48Not for one second.
05:49Whatever this is, is just a lull until her crazy brain comes up with another diabolical scheme to ruin other
05:56people's lives.
05:57It's what she does.
05:59Which you no longer have to be a part of, whatever it is.
06:02Well, we'll see how that plays out.
06:05What does that mean?
06:07Nothing.
06:08It's not important.
06:09Dad?
06:10You're not still planning on using Patty to go after Victor, are you?
06:20You look well.
06:24So do you.
06:31Actually, I didn't come here to exchange pleasantries.
06:36Why did you come?
06:38You certainly have done everything nearby to avoid running into me.
06:43Then, need I remind you again that you threw me out.
06:48And you have made no effort to reach out to me or to apologize.
06:52Then how should I apologize?
06:54Here we go again.
06:56It's not my duty.
06:57It's your fault.
06:57That's right.
06:58I forgot.
06:59You're never wrong.
07:00Not this time.
07:02Okay.
07:02Fine.
07:03Blame me if it makes you feel better.
07:06I don't want to talk about it anymore.
07:08I don't want to have the same argument that goes nowhere.
07:13I'm here for a more important reason.
07:16Our son.
07:21So what did you say to Christine?
07:23What did you say to her?
07:24How did you get her to drop the charges against me?
07:27I offered to trade her back for your freedom.
07:31Why would she want to do that?
07:33Because he's a much bigger catch than you are.
07:36His crimes far outweigh anything you've ever done.
07:40So, he'll be a real feather in her cap.
07:44Look at that.
07:44You're actually bothered by the fact that you are no longer public enemy number one.
07:48No.
07:48I'm just wondering if I can really trust you.
07:52Fine.
07:52Then talk to Christine.
07:53I'm not talking to Christine.
07:57She'll make the deal, Phyllis.
07:58Okay.
07:59What did she say exactly?
08:01She said that?
08:02She'll make the deal?
08:03Not in those exact words, no.
08:05Not in those exact words, no.
08:05What did she say?
08:07She'll make the deal.
08:08You're going to have to trust me.
08:09I'm going to have to trust you?
08:12You and the rest of your family?
08:14Are you serious right now?
08:16Listen to me.
08:16Listen to me.
08:17If you do this my way, then you get to keep our company.
08:20My company.
08:21It's my company.
08:22Our...
08:22It's my company.
08:25Our company.
08:26And then you can stay out of prison.
08:27If you do it any other way, you could wind up with nothing.
08:33How do I know you're not going to betray me again?
08:37How do I know you're not going to pull a fast one?
08:40And let your daddy convince you that he needs to swoop in.
08:43And make me give Newman Enterprises back.
08:46I'm not doing this.
08:48No way, Nick.
08:49No way.
08:59Matt, it's me.
09:02Patty.
09:03Open up, please.
09:05I'm coming home.
09:08Matt, come on.
09:09I know you're in there.
09:12Listen, I just want to talk with you.
09:15Tell us.
09:17Come on.
09:19I know you're in there.
09:21you have no idea how happy this phone calls made me well what you did made everyone happy
09:28i mean you saved malcolm's life thank you again i was glad to do it uh well malcolm ordered
09:37champagne here which means that he ordered it before his procedure can you believe that
09:42well that sounds like malcolm you see what a little optimism can do for you
09:47yeah yeah i'm working on it so his doctors are optimistic well you know of course they never
09:55guarantee anything but his team said that everything went perfectly well so did charlie
10:00make it to the hospital yeah he did and we called maddie on speaker and just so you know
10:06the kids are very grateful that you did what you did
10:13so uh how long are you going to be in new york well i have planned on being here until
10:21malcolm was released which would be anywhere from two weeks to a month that long
10:32if i can use patty williams to go after victor yes i will do it now she's already admitted to
10:39me
10:39that he paid her to be on that yacht i'm already halfway there halfway there to what to proving that
10:45this whole mess traces back to victor's dirty work and to hopefully convince nikki to leave that
10:51bastard once and for all i thought that might be it what you don't think he deserves it of course
10:56he
10:56deserves it but i thought we agreed that i would take the lead in going after victor and you would
11:01try to make things right with mom well things change what so there's been no progress on that at all
11:07none zero it is why i am working from home to make it easier for her to avoid me which
11:14she seems to
11:15prefer i'm sorry death i see possible breakthroughs and she shuts that door i i'm starting to believe
11:23she's never going to get past this what am i supposed to do i've tried talking to her
11:28and she changes the subject seems like she's trying to avoid me now too so you understand
11:35how i feel about going after victor what have i got to lose he has already ruined my life
11:42maybe he deserves a taste of his own medicine
11:47are you aware that nicholas has become addicted to opioids yeah he told me right after he came back
11:57my neighbors what you knew and you didn't think to tell me immediately his own mother he's a grown boy
12:06i have to tell you okay this has to stop what has to stop this this petty quarreling arguing about
12:18who should beg for forgiveness we need to have a truce for our son's sake who we both love
12:29oh so you think i'm capable of love is that it i know that you love nicholas i would never
12:36doubt that that's why i am suggesting that we set our anger aside temporarily and deal with this
12:44as a family i happen to know a little something about what nicholas is going through and i know how
12:51difficult it will be for him to get to the other side so you and i we have to be
12:58there for him
13:00starting today
13:04phyllis this is the best deal you're gonna get if you're telling me the truth when have you ever
13:11known me to lie to you oh many times nick about something this big yeah many times well it didn't
13:19used to be like that there was a time i was the only person you could trust is that completely
13:23gone
13:24yeah it is it is completely gone i mean after you and your family declared war on me i think
13:34it is
13:34pretty much gone you stole my father's life's work right out from under is it still about that
13:43no not for me it's not matt clark has always been my priority getting him out of commission
13:49is the only thing i care about everything else everything is secondary now you can believe that
13:56or not i don't care but i promise you the clock is ticking okay i get it i get it
14:01so how's this going
14:02to work what do you mean how does it work i mean you said that you're going to get the
14:07charges against
14:08me dropped you're going to make christine do that so what exactly needs to be done to make that
14:14happen what you do is you hand matt clark to christine and she arranges things for you she
14:20arranges things for are you serious right now what are you talking are you serious why didn't you tell
14:27me this in the first place you would have saved us both time and aggravation i'd give you matt clark
14:33and i i put my life in christine's hands absolutely not that is never ever going to happen
14:44thank you so much i must have lost my key i'm not supposed to oh please please there will be
14:53a generous
14:53tip involved
15:01thank you oh oh my god i'll call security no no no no do not call security um oh hey
15:12sweetheart sweetheart sweetheart you
15:14you you you you should have told me that the gag was too tight i won't be able to hear
15:19our seat for it
15:20oh uh uh uh you know my boyfriend and i we like to do kinky things together
15:29um really really sorry to involve you in our role playing
15:35you understand don't you not sure i do
15:40oh my god
15:47oh my god
15:56what happened to you
16:02phyllis
16:12i i told you not to trust phyllis well obviously i should listen to you oh
16:19how did she tie you up like i have no idea i was standing there and and and we were
16:24talking and then
16:25i felt this knock on the back of my head and then i was the way that you found me
16:29oh
16:29like you okay i'll live i guess i suppose i'll live all right you know pardon me for saying this
16:37but
16:37uh you should be happier about that a crack on your head could have killed you
16:43maybe that would have been for the best oh my god why why are you talking like this i found
16:50out
16:50some pretty horrible things about myself from phyllis yeah from phyllis all right that's your problem
16:58right there why would you believe her i'm not really sure but it would make sense that we'd
17:05explain why the newmans are after me the way that they are well what sort of things did you do
17:12yeah i don't want to get into all that right now it's just you to understand that there's
17:17enough there that somebody would really want to hurt me back or worse
17:22how did all that turn into you bound and gagged on the floor i told phyllis there was no way
17:30i was
17:30ever going to be able to make amends and that the best thing for everybody is if i just leave
17:33too
17:34and she didn't go for that no she started arguing with me but then she changed her mind and said
17:38she
17:38would help me leave and then i turned my back on her and well now you're all caught up yeah
17:44yeah that's
17:45a good thing i stopped by then yeah it is i just don't understand i really thought phyllis was on
17:55my
17:55side the only side phyllis is ever on israel you are not seeing the big picture oh i am i'm
18:06seeing the
18:06big picture big and bright in technicolor i give christine matt clark she gives me an orange jumpsuit
18:16phyllis listen to me i am not going to let you screw this up for me just because you have
18:20this petty
18:21feud with christine no no no that petty feud is a lifetime of hatred nick and it's mutual i'm not
18:31handing over my life to someone who would love to see me locked up for the rest of my life
18:38all right
18:40what's it going to take what do you need assurances what kind of assurance i need it in writing
18:48the charges are dropped in writing to my attorney all right then we'll talk about me delivering the goods
18:56shh never gonna go for that well that's unfortunate that really is those are my terms take it or leave
19:03it so that didn't come out right what didn't come out right just uh you know i didn't mean to
19:14i'm not
19:15putting pressure on you to come home oh is that what that was look if if you need to be
19:21with malcolm for
19:22a month then that's what you need to do okay i just um it did not seem like a long
19:28time for you to be
19:29away that's all okay well if you had let me finish which you never do i would have told you
19:35that i told
19:36malcolm i was going to stay and he said absolutely not that i needed to be home so you're coming
19:42home yes
19:43i'm coming back when i don't know why no reason
19:53kane the sooner you get home the sooner you'll know well i better get moving then tell holden and
20:01stephanie i said goodbye you can do that yourself you guys kane's on speaker oh hey kane how you doing
20:10hey hanging in there the better news says sounds like uh sounds like malcolm's doing well that's
20:17what it's all about again thank you kane you're a good man i'm trying to be i'll let you know
20:24when
20:24i'm headed back home okay okay great see you soon bye bye oh that smiles a little different than what
20:34it was
20:34earlier it is i wonder why that is hey stories show up unannounced but we need to talk
20:53i'm obviously as concerned about nicholas as you are but i think he's handling the situation
21:00is he going to meetings does he have a sponsor i have no clue the drugs may be out of
21:10his system but i
21:11guarantee you the cravings are still there and it is so easy to slip in early sobriety and it can't
21:19help
21:19him knowing that his parents are at odds like this so what do you think we should do we make
21:29peace we
21:31present a united front and who knows if we do that long enough maybe we'll find a way to end
21:41this war for good
21:52obviously i would do anything to help us out here thank you
22:00what needs to be pointed out that this war as you call it is your doing that is your opinion
22:09i'm not going to apologize for taking back what is mine no matter who gets hurt who gives a damn
22:15about jackass abbott do you think i care
22:19jack is just at the top of the list
22:24are you suggesting i would hurt someone in my family all right okay we're talking in circles again
22:30if you cannot put your son's welfare above your own precious ego you have problems that's nonsense
22:36and you are just as stubborn and vindictive as ever you bet nicholas isn't the only one in denial about
22:43how big his problem is i'm going to help him with his good luck dealing with yours there's the door
22:49i'll be just fine don't you worry about me
22:57so we're going to go back to the hospital do you want to write i will uh join you there
23:02later
23:02claire called and said she wants to show me something why should we stay and see what it is
23:09that would be a hard no i'm still trying to figure out what's going on between you two i know
23:15it's like
23:15are they aren't they we are friends oh yeah sure you are good friends even better it's not what you
23:24think

23:43guys
23:44you should behave yourself okay good you did yep yep what was all that about ah you don't want to
23:54know
24:02what's up billy what brings you by i need to know what you're planning for your defense
24:08in this case with you and phyllis honestly i haven't really thought much about it
24:13what do you mean you haven't thought much about it some other stuff came out okay well uh
24:20uh these emails that the d.a has yeah they're all bogus i understand that but my name is all
24:26over
24:26them have you been arrested no not yet but i have a feeling that whatever happens to me is going
24:33to be
24:34directly connected to what happens with you so i'm asking you for a favor because we might be in this
24:43together so you and i could have eaten lunch at home you need to get out of there every once
24:47in a while
24:50nikki hi hi hi uh care to join us oh no no i i don't want to um you know
24:59this is a work call let me take it
25:02here have a seat for a second
25:08okay everything okay something wrong oh james i don't even know where to start you start anywhere you want to
25:23nicholas is addicted to tracks what after the accident he had so much pain wait pills
25:35that no oh god is he getting help he says he is i i don't know i just feel so
25:45helpless and sad for
25:48him and guilty wait wait wait don't go there how can i not jack it's my curse my affliction has
25:56been
25:56passed down to myself i both know it is far more complicated than that in any given situation
26:03someone can become addicted look at me that's why i knew you would understand it does no good to blame
26:11yourself i know i know it doesn't okay and i hope it goes without saying that i want to help
26:17help you
26:19help nicholas in any way i can whenever you need me after all the pain that victor put you and
26:25your
26:25family through you are not victor neither is nicholas besides then a situation like this you put your
26:32grievances aside you focus on what's right in front of you and for us that is helping nicholas beat this
26:38thing that is what i thought too have you talked to victor about this
26:44much good as it ever does
26:47when i brought up a truce at first he did seem willing to go along with it
26:55but he still refuses to take any blame for anything
27:00i'm sorry that happened to you but i can't tell you i'm surprised by any of it
27:09i'm sorry phyllis hurt you matt there really is best that you know the person that you're dealing
27:15with and she was just out there using you using me how was she using me as a bargaining chip
27:23as a
27:24what i just found out that phyllis had been arrested for stealing the newman's company
27:33very long complicated story don't need to go into details but my guess is
27:41she was going to turn you in in exchange for them dropping the charges
27:46do something like that in a heartbeat
27:53it's the only explanation that makes any sense
27:56don't forget you just met phyllis i have known her for decades
28:01and trust me she's more than capable of doing that
28:09or worse i mean pat maybe next time you won't latch on to someone you just met
28:19just met you patty well that's why we need to spend time and get to know one another
28:29and you know what matt you will understand that i am the only friend that you will ever need
28:38phyllis i need you to work with me here a little bit well that's what i've been trying to do
28:43nick
28:44what do you think i can't just leave a magic wand and get christine to drop all the charges
28:49without her having maddie custody right right well then we're wasting our time phyllis please no no no
28:56i will give you matt clark when you get these charges dropped and not a second sooner
29:27i'm just so happy for all of you especially malcolm that man is he's one cool customer i tell you
29:34he spent most of the time trying to cheer us up before we went in you do that too you
29:39know no
29:41nothing like he does yeah you've been a cheerleader for me many times
29:45so you're saying malcolm's gift is renitary why not huh so where'd you go this morning i went a lot
29:53of
29:53places i ended up in the east village i got a little bit lost you know it's easy to do
29:58first time in the
29:59city and i ended up at this amazing vintage store and i got you a little present claire and you
30:07shouldn't have done that i had to because it shouted your name
30:22look i don't know what to tell you billy if there's any reference to you in those emails
30:26and then it's just as bogus as the rest of it okay now can you prove that phyllis and i
30:32never
30:32communicate like that it doesn't matter you don't need a genius lawyer to argue that this time you did
30:36well then they should have accused us of being stupid along with the other trumped up charges
30:40is funny to you kane yeah it's kind of hilarious i'm not laughing all right phyllis stole the
30:46company from victor we know that that is not trump though she did okay and the old man would like
30:50nothing more than to add my name to this mess and take me down with it and i can't have
30:55that not right
30:56now i'm sorry billy i'm sorry that it happened and i'm sorry that you got mixed up in it i
31:03wish that
31:04there was more i could do to help you're sorry kane nothing more you can do
31:11so you develop the ultimate weapon with this ai program and you got no defense for it
31:16not in the real world not in the court that seems to me you're screwed
31:21now i got to figure out a way to make sure i don't go down with you
31:26there was a moment when i thought things had changed with victor yeah it was like
31:35he wanted to say something but ultimately couldn't and then that moment was gone forever
31:43well i'm sorry to say i don't think that's going to change until you go crawling back to him to
31:48beg for
31:49forgiveness which i will not do which you should never do god i don't understand this man i never
31:57will he can't put his colossal eagle aside for the sake of his own son is he really that petty
32:03and
32:03vindictive you don't have to answer that and then he isn't even considering you he has to know this would
32:12be a pretty significant trigger for your own addiction i am not going down that road i know
32:17where it ends it doesn't matter he doesn't care i mean that's the whole point what he wants is more
32:24important to him than anything else in the world nikki i i wasn't going to tell you this i but
32:31i think
32:31you need to know just how selfless a bastard you are married to not jack you don't have no no
32:37i need
32:37to say this i cornered patty williams the other day told her i would go to the police if she
32:45didn't
32:45admit that she put drugs in that whiskey on the boat why would you believe anything that ordinarily i
32:53would not not a word but i know patty and she was scared and for some reason she wants to
33:01prove to
33:01the world that she is a changed woman so she told me the truth victor is behind all of it
33:10he planned
33:12the whole thing bringing patty to town having me abducted held hostage in that yacht having her serve
33:21me alcohol that he knew had drugs in it he paid her to do that paid her handsomely the same
33:29as he does
33:29anyone who does his dirty work for him that's who your husband is that's victor newman
34:01what the hell is going on here
34:09he did me as
34:13so i'm guessing matt was here and now he's not nice job he was here when i left well that
34:20doesn't do either one of us any good does it i'm telling you right now if you don't find matt
34:25before
34:25the police or my family does then all bets are off phyllis then you better start getting used to the
34:31idea
34:31of a prison cell
34:37do you like it like it i love it it's perfect it's amazing isn't it
34:55i knew it would be a perfect fit
34:59i was thinking the same thing
35:15there's not much more i could say other than i'm sorry if i could do it all over again i
35:20would i
35:20promise you billy i would destroy that ai program before it ever left the lab well it's too late for
35:25that isn't it so now our only option is to poke holes in the da's case okay well if you
35:32have any
35:33suggestions i'm open to them there might be a way to save both of us that means we're gonna have
35:41to work together
35:46this isn't over it's not over just tell me what happened patty williams is what happened nick
35:53yeah patty williams yeah patty williams you know how she got here your dad brought her in town
36:01the woman who nearly killed our daughter yeah i'm gonna deal with that later just tell me what does
36:06she have to do with matt she befriended him she knows that he's here she's probably trying to get to
36:11me through him and you think matt went with her yeah i do i do he's very easily manipulated he
36:19doesn't
36:19know who he is what would patty want from matt i don't know but she has an angle she has
36:26an angle
36:27they're both lunatics so stop getting mad at me if we find patty williams we will find matt clark
36:42victor did all of that oh he did a lot more it turns out
36:47he orchestrated diane and billy and kyle finding out about the marina and the boat i was on
36:54how is he able to do that by planting the permit tag on the car used to abduct me he
37:00knew one of
37:01them would be smart enough to look at the security footage and figure it out in the hopes that diane
37:08would find you with me he thought of everything every little detail he knew i had nothing
37:16to do with you losing your company it didn't matter to him nicholas's addiction doesn't matter
37:27your happiness doesn't matter to him that's who he is
37:46you
