00:00Vicki, I know what I'm just about to process.
00:03I am so sorry I would never intentionally hurt you this way.
00:08Why are you apologizing?
00:10I mean, you're the true victim in this whole thing.
00:14Your marriage has practically been destroyed,
00:18and when I think about what Victor did, he had Patty drug you.
00:23He might as well have done that to me.
00:26Wait, what do you mean by that?
00:28Victor knows about your struggle with addiction,
00:33and he has seen me go through everything with my addiction.
00:39For him to have Patty slip you anything,
00:43knowing that it could cause a relapse or worse,
00:48it's a slap in the face to everything I have done to maintain my sobriety.
00:53Nikki, it's not like this is the first time that Victor has gone to extremes
00:58to destroy his perceived enemies.
01:01It feels different.
01:03I always thought that there was a line he wouldn't cross,
01:07no matter how badly he wanted something.
01:09But hearing how far he went with you,
01:14it just makes me feel like a fool for believing he would never go to that dark place again.
01:23Unless...
01:24Wait, unless what?
01:28Hang Patty to be on that boat.
01:32And making it look like the two of you were in a compromising position,
01:38that sounds like Victor.
01:40But drugging you,
01:42and making sure that Diane walked in just the right moment,
01:50could Patty be lying?
01:53Blaming everything on Victor so it would seem like she is one of his victims as well?
01:59Is it possible
02:01that Victor did not do all these things that Patty said he did?
02:08What?
02:11What?
02:29What?
02:29What?
02:33What?
02:37What?
02:40What?
02:41What?

02:53What?
02:55What?
02:56What?
02:56What?
02:57What?
03:03so far
03:05no sign of her
03:07I don't think Phyllis is gonna have the nerve
03:09to come looking for me after what she's done
03:13don't be so sure
03:16that woman
03:17has more nerve than anyone I know
03:20she probably doesn't know
03:22that you are gone yet
03:24I think I need a bigger baseball cap
03:27I've got a lot up on my head
03:28why?
03:28yeah
03:29let me see
03:30owie
03:31ah?
03:32yeah
03:32oh
03:34yeah that is a doozy
03:35carry on the head
03:36leave me unconscious
03:37tie me up
03:38leave me on the floor
03:39like a common hostage
03:40oh man I warned you
03:42you couldn't trust her
03:44yeah you also warned me
03:46about investing in people
03:47that I just met
03:51Phyllis is so pretty
03:52and she was warm
03:53and welcoming
03:53and I thought she was trying to help me
03:55I really felt like
03:56we had a connection
03:57oh
03:58given what she did to you
04:00that connection
04:01sounds pretty one-sided
04:04I don't know anything about anyone
04:06the only thing I have to go about
04:08are my gut instincts
04:09and I thought I had a good gut
04:10I don't have a good gut
04:11she's not who I thought she was
04:14listen you can't blame yourself
04:17you're not the first person
04:19that Phyllis is screwed over
04:22you're not going to be the last
04:27I didn't like the way she treated you last time
04:31I just really feel it's her fear of losing everything
04:35is just making her act irrational
04:38no of course she's not here
04:42let me meet you in the lobby
04:46what's wrong now
04:47he's gone Lauren
04:48he's gone
04:49he's vanished into thin air
04:51I assume you're talking about Clark
04:54yes I'm talking about Matt Clark
04:56he is gone
04:57I've lost him
04:59how
05:00when
05:01I don't know
05:02he was in my room at the club
05:04he was there
05:05he was there
05:06and now
05:08he's escaped
05:09my god this was the only chance I had
05:12to get the charges to get me dropped
05:15what the hell am I going to do
05:23I guess you like the jacket
05:24I love it
05:26I've never been thanked for it like that
05:27for a gift before
05:28no I'd be happy
05:29continue
05:30thank you
05:34we should
05:35we should not
05:36no I'd rather
05:37I'd rather look at you
05:39it could be a mom about your dad
05:44do you want to go to the hospital?
05:51mom's saying that
05:52Malcolm's ready for visitors
05:54when I get the chance
05:56doesn't sound very great
05:58no
05:59but now I have
06:01on one hand I should probably
06:05drop everything and go
06:06I still haven't shown you enough
06:11appreciation
06:12for the dance
06:14haven't you?
06:16make me close
06:26I hope Victor had changed
06:29that he had mellowed over the years
06:33found a better way to deal with loss and disappointment
06:37instead of trying to destroy somebody else's life
06:41I'm sorry to me
06:43I'm sorry to me
06:43he is the same as he has always been
06:46when I saw him earlier
06:48to talk to him about presenting a united front for Nicholas's sake
06:52I truly thought
06:54that he would agree
06:57I mean for the sake of the family
07:00that that's what he always does
07:02but not this time
07:04all he wanted to do was blame me for the way things are between us
07:10Nicholas is going through hell
07:12and the only thing Victor wanted to do was lash out at me
07:17maybe we should stop trying to figure out Victor
07:20and try to figure out a way to get you with your granddaughter
07:24That is a lovely thought, Jack
07:26but I don't think it's a good idea to go out of town right now
07:32I need to stay busy
07:34and I need to find a purpose
07:37something that has nothing to do with Victor
07:40I already have a purpose with Nicholas
07:44he's asked me to be his unofficial sponsor
07:47I assume you said yes?
07:50Absolutely
07:50he has a long road ahead of him
07:53I want to be there to help him get through it
07:56Look, I don't want to get ahead of myself
07:58I know Nicholas is in the early stages of getting help
08:02but if he's looking for an official sponsor
08:05I am available
08:07You would do that for him?
08:09Of course I would do that
08:10My days as his stepfather may be long past
08:13but I care a lot about Nicholas
08:17It would be wonderful
08:19I know he would welcome the support
08:21Look, I don't want to overstep here
08:24What? What is it?
08:26I'm sure you would be a great resource for Nicholas
08:29but have you thought
08:31about how difficult this might be for you
08:34helping Nicholas through this?
08:35I mean
08:36seeing signs of his addiction could be triggering for you
08:40You're absolutely right
08:43I mean
08:44it's one thing to sponsor a stranger
08:47but
08:49quite another when it's a member of your own family
08:52Well, at least I'll know that you'll be there for it
08:56I will be there for both of you
08:58for you and Nicholas
09:03You are an exceptional human being, Jack
09:06I don't know about that
09:10But I do
09:13I mean
09:14even with the weight of the world on your shoulders
09:16your marriage in tatters
09:20here you are offering to help
09:23the wife and son of the very man
09:26who caused you so much pain and heartbreak
09:30That's what friends do
09:33You're the dearest friend I know
09:39I was making headway with him
09:41Lauren
09:42Lauren
09:43I got him to trust me
09:45He thought I was his friend
09:47I convinced him of that
09:49and then
09:51all of a sudden
09:52he was getting stir crazy
09:53and
09:54and he wanted to leave
09:55You know
09:56he wanted to explore the town
09:58he thought maybe that would jog his memory
10:00That was a risk
10:01that I couldn't take
10:03That was way too risky
10:04So that's why I did what I did
10:06What did you do?
10:07Well
10:08I couldn't let him leave
10:09I mean like he did before
10:11and
10:11and then I would lose him
10:13Again
10:13I
10:14that
10:14that was just too risky
10:15I couldn't take that risk
10:17Phyllis
10:17What did you do?
10:18I knocked him out
10:19What?
10:20And tied him up
10:21Oh good God
10:22Yeah
10:23It doesn't matter
10:24because
10:25my plan is shot
10:26I was this close
10:28this close
10:29to getting the charges dropped
10:32Bitch
10:33that bitch Patty Williams
10:34This is her fault
10:38Sooner or later
10:40Phyllis is going to get
10:41what's coming to her
10:42That woman
10:43she has destroyed
10:44so many people in this town
10:46I
10:47I
10:47What?
10:48Okay
10:48I don't want to hate Phyllis
10:49I don't need for her to pay
10:51I don't hate her
10:52I hate
10:52that I trusted her
10:53more than I should have
10:54a little bit
10:55and I hate
10:56what she had to tell me
10:57and I really hate
10:59the idea that I
11:00might be some kind
11:01of a monster
11:02You just said
11:03that you made a mistake
11:05when you trusted Phyllis
11:08Why would you give
11:09any weight
11:09to what she said
11:10about
11:10the kind of guy
11:11you were?
11:12Because it makes sense
11:13of everything
11:14I see this beautiful woman
11:16at a cafe
11:16I say hello
11:17she's terrified of me
11:19Noah that kid
11:19he comes up
11:20he grabs me
11:21his father punches me
11:22all of that makes sense
11:23if what Phyllis has to say
11:25about me is true
11:26Alright so
11:29did anything she say
11:31trigger
11:32you know
11:32a memory of those things?
11:34No
11:34No
11:35I mean
11:37it's like she's
11:38describing a dream
11:40right?
11:41Like
11:42like when you wake up
11:43from a nightmare
11:43and
11:44and you don't remember
11:45everything that happened
11:46in the nightmare
11:46but you know
11:47how it feels
11:51I have
11:53had those same
11:54feelings
11:54when I think
11:55about my past
11:56you know
11:57part of me is
11:58I just can't believe
11:59that I am
12:00or I was
12:03capable
12:04of
12:04what I did
12:05I feel empty
12:08and alone
12:10and lost
12:12and I should leave town
12:13I mean
12:13there's nothing here
12:14all that's here
12:15is people that hate me
12:16and bad memories
12:17Oh
12:17but I hate me
12:18and so fast
12:22fast
12:25I can think of
12:27one
12:29reason for you
12:30to stay
12:34I'll tell Nicholas
12:36about your offer
12:37I don't want to
12:38betray his anonymity
12:39No
12:39I will suggest
12:40he reach out to you
12:42Perfect
12:42and if you'd rather
12:43deal with someone
12:43he doesn't know

18:57Feels so good when I know you're about it
19:00I'm not sure but I know I'll find it
19:05Underneath all the mystery I just wanna know
19:12Is that physical touch? Is it deeper than us?
19:20Is that physical touch? Is it deeper than us?
19:29How could you, of all people, make things worse for Nicky?
19:32What exactly did you say to him?
19:34I dropped a bomb about Victor's culpability on the yacht that night.
19:38Well, Victor was behind what happened. He's the one who sent Patty there.
19:41I thought Nicky knew that.
19:43Yeah, she did. It's what she didn't know or what...
19:46I tried to make her think I may be embellished for maximum impact.
19:50Okay, what did you say to her?
19:52I told her that Patty said Victor is the one who drugged the whiskey on the boat
19:56and that he paid her to make sure I drank it.
19:59Well, it's not too far-fetched for Victor.
20:01I also said Patty said Victor was the mastermind behind the whole thing.
20:07Every single detail, right down to your mother walking onto the boat when she did.
20:12Which could also be true.
20:14Yeah, it could. It probably is.
20:17That's why it was so easy for me to say it.
20:19But seeing her face when she heard it, seeing the pain in her eyes when she realized
20:24that someone she loved was capable of such treachery, I feel guilty about it.
20:30And of course you feel guilty.
20:32You're too good of a friend not to feel bad for upsetting her.
20:35But as Nicky's friend, you have a responsibility to warn her against Victor.
20:40Yeah, maybe you're right.
20:41And maybe exaggerating a little to get her attention.
20:45If it results in her walking away from Victor for good, then I have done right by my good friends.
20:54Victor's obsession with losing his company does not justify his recent behavior.
21:01If anything, it has made me more resentful that he has placed the company above the people he supposedly loves.
21:09I don't think Victor sees it that way.
21:11Well, Victor sees whatever he wants to see, and to hell with anybody else who has another opinion.
21:16Don't argue with that.
21:18And this isn't just happening to him, it's happening to all of the Newmans.
21:22We should be standing together in solidarity.
21:26If for no other reason than to show the kids that there are things in life more important than money
21:31and power.
21:31You and I both know that Newman Enterprises represents more than money and power to Victor.
21:37It's his life's work, it's his legacy, it's his identity.
21:42I understand that.
21:44But isn't that what his family is supposed to be?
21:47Shouldn't that matter more?
21:51You can't seriously believe that Victor, of all people, doesn't put his family above all.
21:57In fact, if I may be so blunt.
22:00Michael, when have you ever been anything else?
22:04As hard as losing Newman was for Victor, it was the loss of his family that's really pushed him into
22:10this whirlwind of misdirected rage that is his life these days.
22:15What are you talking about? Victor hasn't lost any family.
22:18He lost you. You are his family. You are the main member, it is from and through you that his
22:24whole world has sustained.
22:26When you walked out, you left a void much bigger than Newman Enterprises.
22:31Okay, first of all, I did not walk out. And he should have thought of that before he kicked me
22:36out.
22:37And put Patty on that ship with Jack and other things he orchestrated that happened that night.
22:45You know what? I am not excusing him, believe me. But right or wrong, he did a lot of that
22:51in order to get Chancellor back for you.
22:53And instead of thanking him, which I know he was expecting you to do, you poured a mountain of salt
22:59into the wound by loudly defending Jack, who is not only his declared enemy.
23:03It is the man he believes through his hubris, through his recklessness, almost killed his wife.
23:10Well, Victor was wrong about that. Jack saved me. I would not be sober today if he had not.
23:17You must know by now that every time you defend Jack, every time you declare him to be your savior,
23:25you are taking a dagger and you are sticking it through your husband's heart.
23:34Just because Phyllis stabbed you in the back doesn't mean that I'm going to do the same.
23:38I'm just heeding your advice about how I should question the motives of people that I just met.
23:43You happen to be one of those people.
23:47Patty, look at me. Do I look like a likable guy?
23:52People don't see me for the first time and go, oh, my God, he seems nice.
23:56I need to be really careful about who I align myself with.
24:01Well, I don't appreciate being lumped in with all the haters, especially when I have gone out of my way
24:07to prove that I can be trusted.
24:10I would like to have a friend right now and I would really like for it to be you, but
24:16I'm having a hard time believing that you're telling the truth about your recovery.
24:22Of course, I'm telling the truth. I thought you already accepted that, too, but I'm really questioning everything right now.
24:27You don't know how it felt to have someone believe me, give me the benefit of the doubt.
24:36Yeah, I mean, it really brought me closer to you.
24:43You, you saw me and not the monster that I used to be.
24:50Do you really think that you can give me that kind of validation and I would just turn around and
24:58betray you?
25:01That lunatic psycho freak.
25:03I assume we're still talking about Patty Williams.
25:06Now that she took Matt, I have no leverage. I have nothing. I have nothing to make a deal with
25:11Victor or Nick.
25:12Well, back up for a minute. When did Nick get into the picture?
25:18Nick came to me privately and he agreed to make a deal with me that didn't require me giving back
25:24Newman Enterprises.
25:26Oh, so in exchange for turning over Matt, I'm going to get Christine to drop the charges against me.
25:33Does Victor know about this?
25:34I doubt it.
25:35Well, it's very risky of Nick.
25:37He must be very eager to get rid of that man. Not that I blame him, actually.
25:41He's not that eager. Why do you say that? Nick was with me when I saw that Matt was gone.
25:49And then I offered to team up and fight. It doesn't matter. All of this doesn't matter.
25:54If I can't get the charges dropped against me, Lauren, I'm screwed.
26:02Well, there is another option. One that doesn't get people killed in the process.
26:18I'm thirsty. Let me go.
26:21Never stay.
26:32Do you need anything while I'm up?
26:37I could definitely use some of that.
26:41You like?
26:42Very much.
26:45Your room might have a view of the statue of Olympia, but I think my view is much better.
26:50Shame goes for the jacket.
26:52It might look good on me, but on you it looks out of this world amazing.
26:56Maybe I'll keep it.
26:58Will you not fight me for it?
26:59Oh, yeah?
27:00Yeah.
27:00Why not?
27:03Why not?
27:09This is the last thing I expected to happen when I asked you to come to New York with me.
27:13Makes two of us.
27:15Are you sorry that I got carried away?
27:18I don't know.
27:20Are you?
27:21What do you think?
27:28I don't want to stay around.
27:30Uh, you should probably go see your dad in the hospital at some point.
27:34I mean, it is the reason why you're here.
27:38All right, I'll tell you what.
27:40I'm gonna go spend some time with Malcolm, then I'll come back, and we can grab dinner.
27:44That sounds perfect.
27:48I'll grab a quick shower.
27:52I will get that jacket back.
28:01Here you go.
28:15I know that your mind is still fuzzy, but have you forgotten that you and I are in the same
28:22position?
28:24From what you said, you were as much a pariah as I was.
28:28We both want to prove to the citizens of this town that we've reformed good people who deeply, deeply regret
28:38our pasts.
28:40Yeah, I'm not so sure that's all it is with you.
28:43Again, again, no, with the doubter.
28:44I'm just, no.
28:45I'm sorry, but just hear me out, okay?
28:47So, it makes sense.
28:48If what we know to be about Phyllis is true, and she wanted to treat me in, then it makes
28:53sense that she would want to keep me here, okay?
28:56But why would you help me escape?
28:57I mean, if what you want to do is prove to the citizens of this town that you're a changed
29:01woman, well, wouldn't you just do what Phyllis was going to do and turn me in?
29:04I mean, wouldn't that generate more goodwill than helping some degenerate guy get away?
29:08Matt, I have been honest and forthright with you more than I've probably been with anyone.
29:17I'm not Phyllis.
29:20I wouldn't try to sell you out, but she tried to.
29:24I just don't understand why you can't accept that.
29:27Have I ever, ever given you any indication that you couldn't trust me?
29:35Don't keep me in suspense.
29:36What's the other option, Lauren?
29:39Surrender.
29:40I'm not doing that.
29:41Absolutely not.
29:43You said yourself that there's no dropping the charges without Matt.
29:48So, instead of swapping Matt for your freedom, exchange this company and Victor will go to Christine.
29:56He will get the charges dropped and then you will walk free.
30:00No, I walk away with nothing, Lauren.
30:03No company, no job, no life.
30:07Do you understand that?
30:09I'm back to square one, a place I never, ever thought I would be.
30:14But here I am.
30:16Need I remind you, by the way, I wouldn't be giving Victor Newman Enterprises.
30:20I'd be giving him Summer's conglomerate.
30:22This is our company partner, remember?
30:25Yes, yes, of course I remember.
30:27Okay, so you probably also remember that you agreed to go head to head with Victor Newman with me.
30:32Yes, you are right, but that is also before you were arrested.
30:36Okay, it's bogus evidence.
30:38It's never, ever going to hold up in court.
30:41Ever.
30:42We have so many plans for the future.
30:45A million things to do.
30:47We cannot give up now.
30:50Honey, you've lost your children.
30:53Is this really worth risking your freedom?
30:57Yes.
30:59Matt Clark, or no Matt Clark, I am never giving up.
31:05Jack was trying to save me from myself and he succeeded.
31:09On the other hand, Victor set a plan in motion that has destroyed Jack's marriage.
31:17I mean, you can't blow up somebody's life and expect me to stay quiet.
31:22Enough is enough.
31:22No, I get it.
31:24I get it.
31:24I mean, I understand the frustration of trying to predict his moods and his reactions.
31:30It's exhausting, is what it is.
31:32And more and more, it's feeling irreparable.
31:37Frankly, I don't know if Victor and I will come back from this.
31:48It is one very cool jacket, if I do say so myself.
31:52And you look incredibly hot.
31:55Not as hot as you did.
31:58Maybe you'll have to let me borrow it sometime.
32:01Only if you went like you did earlier.
32:04Deal.
32:08Thank you again for such amazing gifts.
32:19Alright, I will be back soon.
32:23I'll be waiting.
32:42I'm not giving up this company. I can't.
32:45What do you mean you can't?
32:47This can't mean more to you than your children.
32:51And your freedom.
32:53A business can't be worth risking prison.
32:56It's all I have left.
32:58Lauren.
33:00I've lost my children.
33:01Lauren.
33:03I'm not losing this, too.
33:06You cannot put so much of your self-worth into this company.
33:11You are so much more than Somerset McGlum.
33:15Am I, really?
33:18I'm looking for a really hot woman to have dinner!
33:22My God!
33:29I thought I told you to meet me in the lobby.
33:31I thought you said she was going to be here.
33:33Well, she wasn't then.
33:38What, no threats?
33:39You're not going to have me thrown out?
33:43Why do I feel like I'm interrupting something?
33:47Phyllis, uh, has lost her leverage with Christine.
33:52And, uh, it's a very big decision to make.
34:02Hang on.
34:05Someone got some flowers!
34:07Oh.
34:08Well, that would be you.
34:12Me?
34:13I wonder if it's Mom.
34:18Thinking of you who don't want to push will keep my distance until you reach out to me.
34:23I'm hoping soon you'll have a reason to.
34:26With love, Patty.
34:31No.
34:32You haven't given me any reason to not trust you.
34:36You can't.
34:37Yet.
34:38Cause, yeah.
34:40Better safe than on a hotel room floor, tied up and gagged.
34:45How many times do I have to tell you that I'm not Phyllis?
34:48I would never hurt you.
34:50It's not personal, okay?
34:51I would put distance between myself and anyone right now.
34:54I have no idea what's happening to me.
34:56I don't know who I am.
34:59And I just think it's better for everybody if I'm just alone.
35:03So, it's not that I don't appreciate all of the help that you gave me.
35:07I do.
35:08I will never forget it.
35:10I promise.
35:20Hey, Mom.
35:23No.
35:23No, actually the trip has been nothing like I expected, but in the best possible way.
35:30When you say she lost her leverage with Christine, are you saying...
35:38She lost Matt.
35:41It's over.
35:51I know you don't want to hear this right now, but maybe it really is time to accept defeat.
36:04There it is.
36:05The calm before the storm.
36:07What do you think she wants?
36:08I have no idea.
36:10Maybe she's all in on helping you take down Victor.
36:13Well, why doesn't she say that?
36:14Why the flowers?
36:15Why the cryptic message about me reaching out to her?
36:18My God, what have I unleashed?
36:19I knew it was playing with fire to try and use her.
36:22Betty is definitely up to something.
36:24I just have to figure out what it is before it's too late.
36:32After everything I've done for him.
36:35Helping him break out or risk my freedom.
36:40I could have got caught eating in the belly.
36:42And still, he walks out on me.
36:50Well, I am going to show him what a mistake that was.
37:05Victor!
37:07Yes, it's Patty.
37:10I heard you were looking for someone named...
37:14Matt Clark?
37:21Next week on The Young and the Restless.
37:24Mom hasn't been to the office in two days.
37:27Her bed hadn't been slept in.
37:29None of this is normal.
37:30It's this headache.
37:34I thought it went away.
37:36It's back.
37:40What?
37:42Oh, I don't know.
37:43Nick!
