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?
02:28What?
02:29What?
02:33What?
03:08I don't think Phyllis is going to have the nerve to come looking for me after what she's done.
03:12Don't be so sure.
03:16That woman has more nerve than anyone I know.
03:20She probably doesn't know that you are gone yet.
03:25I think I need a bigger baseball cap cover line 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.
03:36All right.
03:36On the head, leave me unconscious.
03:37Tie me up.
03:38Leave me on the floor like a common hostage.
03:40Well, Matt, I warned you.
03:42You couldn't trust her.
03:45Yeah, you also warned me about investing in people that I just met.
03:51Phyllis is so pretty and she's warm and welcoming and I thought she was trying to help me.
03:55I really, I really, I really felt like we had a connection.
03:58Oh, given what she did to you, that connection sounds pretty one-sided.
04:04I don't know anything about anyone.
04:06The only thing I have to go about are my gut instincts.
04:09And I thought I had a good gut.
04:10I don't have a good gut.
04:11But she's not who I thought she was.
04:14Listen, you can't blame yourself.
04:17You're not the first person that Phyllis has screwed over.
04:22You're not going to be the last.
04:27I know if I didn't like the way she treated you last time.
04:31I just really feel it's her fear of losing everything is just making her act irrational.
04:38No, no, of course she's not here.
04:42Uh, let me meet you in the lobby in the 20th.
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...
04:54Matt 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 he's escaped.
05:10My God, this was the only chance I had to get the charges to get to be dropped.
05:16What the hell am I going to do?
05:23I guess you like the jacket.
05:25I love it.
05:26I've never been thanked for it like that for a gift before.
05:28No one might be happy.
05:29Continue.
05:34You should probably check that.
05:36No, I'd rather...
05:37I'd rather look at you.
05:39It could be a mom about your dad.
05:49Do you want to go to the hospital?
05:51Mom's saying that Malcolm's ready for visitors when I get the chance.
05:56Doesn't sound good, is it?
05:58No.
05:59But now I have...
06:03On one hand, I should probably drop everything and go.
06:07No, man.
06:10I still haven't shown you enough appreciation for the dance.
06:14Haven't you?
06:16They've been close.
06:19It's not.
06:26I hope Victor had changed, that he had mellowed over the years.
06:33Found a better way to deal with loss and disappointment instead of trying to destroy somebody else's life.
06:41I'm sorry.
06:42To me, he is the same as he has always been.
06:46When I saw him earlier, to talk to him about presenting a united front for Nicholas's sake, I truly thought
06:54that he would agree.
06:58I mean, for the sake of the family, 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, and the only thing Victor wanted to do was lash out at me.
07:17Maybe we should stop trying to figure out, Victor, and try to figure out a way to get you with
07:22your granddaughter.
07:24That is a lovely thought, Jack, but I don't think it's a good idea to go out of town right
07:32now.
07:32I need to stay busy, and I need to find a purpose, something 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, but if he's looking for an official sponsor, I
08:05am 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, but I care a lot about Nicholas.
08:17That would be wonderful.
08:19I know he would welcome the support.
08:22Look, I don't want to overstep here.
08:24What?
08:25What is it?
08:26I'm sure you would be a great resource for Nicholas, but have you thought about how difficult this might be
08:33for you, helping Nicholas through this?
08:35I mean, seeing signs of his addiction could be triggering for you.
08:40You're absolutely right.
08:43I mean, it's one thing to sponsor a stranger, but quite another when it's a member of your own family.
08:52Oh, well, at least I'll know that you'll be there for me.
08:56I will be there for both of you, for you and Nicholas.
09:03You are an exceptional human being, Jack, Abby.
09:08I don't know about that.
09:10But I do.
09:13I mean, even with the weight of the world on your shoulders, your marriage in tatters,
09:20here you are offering to help the wife and son of the very man who caused you so much pain
09:28and heartbreak.
09:30That's what friends do.
09:33You're the dearest friend I know.
09:39I was making headway with him.
09:42Lauren, Lauren, I've got him to trust me.
09:45He thought I was his friend.
09:47I convinced him of that.
09:49And then all of a sudden he was getting stir crazy and he wanted to leave.
09:56You know, he wanted to explore the town.
09:58He thought maybe that would jog his memory.
10:00That was a risk that 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, I couldn't let him leave.
10:09I mean, like he did before.
10:11And then I would lose him.
10:13Again, that was just too risky.
10:15I couldn't take that risk.
10:17Phyllis, what did you do?
10:18I knocked him out.
10:20What?
10:20And tied him up.
10:21Oh, good God.
10:22Yeah, but it doesn't matter because my plan is shot.
10:26I was this close, this close to getting the charges dropped.
10:32Bitch, that bitch, Patty Williams, this is her fault.
10:38Sooner or later, Phyllis is going to get what's coming to her.
10:42That woman, she has destroyed so many people in this town.
10:48I don't want to hate Phyllis again.
10:50I don't need for her to pay.
10:51I don't hate her.
10:52I hate that I trusted her more than I should have a little bit.
10:55And I hate what she had to tell me.
10:58And I really hate the idea that I might be some kind of a monster.
11:02You just said that you made a mistake when you trusted Phyllis.
11:08Why would you give any weight to what she said about the kind of guy you were?
11:12Because it makes sense of everything.
11:14You see this beautiful woman at a cafe.
11:16I say hello.
11:17She's terrified of me.
11:19Noah, that kid, he comes up and he grabs me.
11:21His father punches me.
11:22All of that makes sense if what Phyllis has to say about me is true.
11:26All right, so did anything she say trigger, you know, a memory of those things?
11:34No.
11:34No.
11:35I mean, it's like she's describing a dream, right?
11:41Like when you wake up from a nightmare and you don't remember everything that happened in the nightmare, but you
11:46know how it feels.
11:51I have had those same feelings when I think about my past.
11:57You know, part of me is, I just can't believe that I am, or I was, capable of what I
12:05did.
12:06I feel empty, and alone, and lost.
12:12And I should leave town.
12:13I mean, there's nothing here.
12:14All that's here is people that hate me and bad memories.
12:17Oh, but I hate me.
12:18That's so fast.
12:26I can think of one reason for you to stay.
12:35I'll tell Nicholas about your offer.
12:37I don't want to betray his anonymity.
12:39No, I will suggest he reach out to you.
12:42Perfect, and if you'd rather deal with someone he doesn't know, I won't be the least offended.
12:46I only want what's best for him, and for you.
12:50We are both very lucky to have you in our lives.
12:54Even when you're telling me things I don't want to believe.
12:58You're going to be okay with everything I did tell you?
13:02I will be stronger for him.
13:05I don't know that I can say that same thing about my marriage, but...
13:10Well, that call took a lot longer than expected.
13:13Everything all right?
13:14It is now.
13:16Sorry for cutting out like that.
13:18Oh, no, you're good.
13:19But it gave your father and I a chance to catch up.
13:22Well, I can give you another iced tea from the bar if you two need to finish your conversation.
13:26No, thank you, Kyle.
13:27I have to be going anyway.
13:31Thank you for the information you shared and for listening.
13:37I hope I didn't cause you any more pain.
13:41All you did was open my eyes wider.
13:45And for that, I am grateful.
13:51Bye-bye.
13:52Bye-bye.
13:54Bye-bye.
13:57Bye-bye.
14:02Is everything okay?
14:04My dear friend is going through a very difficult time.
14:10And I worry I just made things worse.
14:15What does Patty Williams have to do?
14:17Patty Williams.
14:18Patty Williams.
14:19I should have taken that bitch out the minute that I saw her.
14:22Before she got her claws into Matt Clark.
14:25What on earth would she even want with Matt?
14:27The same thing I want.
14:29To use him as leverage against the Newmans, of course.
14:32In exchange for what?
14:33I don't know to show everybody what a great person she is.
14:37She's trying to convince everybody in this town that she's rehabilitated.
14:41What better way to do that than hand over a wanted criminal?
14:45Well, I mean, I suppose.
14:46Yeah, you suppose?
14:47Except that's not her idea.
14:48That's my idea.
14:50I came up with that idea first.
14:53She's trying to take credit for my idea.
15:00What possible reason could I have to stay here in Genoa City?
15:04No one wants me here.
15:06Oh, but you are wanted here.
15:11I mean...
15:12Are you flirting with me?
15:15Seems like I are.
15:17You are.
15:20Yeah, it feels nice.
15:24But listen, even the attention of a wildly beautiful, probably dangerous woman is not enough to keep me in Genoa
15:31City,
15:31where it's clearly dangerous for me, especially given how the Newmans are angry with me.
15:35All right, Matt.
15:37First of all, I am not dangerous.
15:39I am healthy and healed.
15:42And second, considering how powerful the Newmans are,
15:47I do understand your instinct to run.
15:51But giving in to the panic will not serve you.
15:57I mean, even if it is the slightest chance of you getting caught.
16:02Look, I'm not saying that you shouldn't go.
16:06I'm just saying be smart about it.
16:09Why don't you give me a chance to arrange passage for you to get out of town?
16:15And I'm not saying that it's going to be easy.
16:18It will take me a little time, but I need you to trust me.
16:22Why would I do that?
16:26What?
16:27Because I just rescued you from your friend who knocked you out and made you up.
16:33Yes.
16:34Noted and appreciated.
16:36But I can't help but wonder why you rescued me.
16:39I mean, we're really clear on what we think Phyllis might have as a plan.
16:45But what exactly is your plan?
16:52Vicky!
17:06Well, if you're day drinking alone, it must mean you're having as good a day as I am.
17:11Can I have iced tea, please?
17:13I have had quite the day.
17:18So what sent yourself?
17:21I'm sure you can guess.
17:23Hmm.
17:25Things still not harmonious on the home front, I presume?
17:28They are as far from harmonious as they have ever been.
17:32I'm sorry to hear that.
17:35I have also had an unsettling encounter with your husband today.
17:40And as I sit here licking my wounds, I've had a revelation about why he's been on the war path
17:48more than usual recently.
17:50Oh, really?
17:51I'm listening?
17:55The loss of Newman Enterprises has done significant damage to what was always a really strong psyche.
18:05Nicky.
18:07The picture's broken in a way I never thought was possible.
18:11I couldn't agree more.
18:13It's pushed him to the brink.
18:15It's driven him to do unthinkable things in almost every area of his life.
18:20All in the hopes of regaining what he feels he's lost.
18:24How long are you now?
18:29You know, what's especially tragic is he doesn't seem to know who gets hurt in the process.
18:37Oh, yes, he does.
18:38He just doesn't care.
18:41I want to keep you in my head.
18:45Call me selfish, but I just cannot get it now.
18:49It's always something you say.
18:52Playing over and over again.
18:56Feels 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 want to know.
19:12And physical touch, is it deeper than us?
19:20I just want to know if this is real, real, real.
19:29How could you, of all people, make things worse for Nicky?
19:33What 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.
19:40He's the one who sent Patty there.
19:41I thought Nicky knew that.
19:43Yeah, she did.
19:44It's what she didn't know or what I 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.
20:16It probably is.
20:17That's why it was so easy for me to say it.
20:19But seeing her face when she heard it,
20:22seeing the pain in her eyes when she realized that someone she loved was capable of such treachery,
20:29I 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,
20:49then I have done right by my good friends.
20:54Victor's obsession with losing his company
20:58does not justify his recent behavior.
21:01If anything, it has made me more resentful
21:05that 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,
21:13and to hell with anybody else who has another opinion.
21:17Don't argue with that.
21:18And this isn't just happening to him,
21:20it'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
21:28that there are things in life more important than money and power.
21:31You and I both know that Newman Enterprises
21:34represents 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,
21:54doesn'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,
22:07it was the loss of his family
22:08that's really pushed him into this whirlwind of misdirected rage
22:13that is his life these days.
22:15What are you talking about?
22:16Victor hasn't lost any family.
22:18He lost you.
22:20You are his family.
22:21You are the main member.
22:23It is from and through you that his whole 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.
22:33And he should have thought of that before he kicked me out
22:36and put Patty on that ship with Jack
22:41and other things he orchestrated that happened that night.
22:45You know what?
22:46I am not excusing him, believe me.
22:48But right or wrong, he did a lot of that
22:51in order to get Chancellor Beck for you.
22:53And instead of thanking him,
22:54which I know he was expecting you to do,
22:57you poured a mountain of salt into the wound
22:59by loudly defending Jack,
23:01who is not only his declared enemy,
23:03it is the man he believes through his hubris,
23:08through his recklessness, almost killed his wife.
23:10Well, Victor was wrong about that.
23:13Jack, save me.
23:14I would not be sober today if he had not.
23:17You must know by now that every time you defend Jack,
23:21every time you declare him to be your savior,
23:25you are taking a dagger
23:26and you are sticking it through your husband's heart.
23:34Just because Phyllis stabbed you in the back
23:36doesn't mean that I'm going to do the same.
23:38I'm just heeding your advice
23:40about how I should question the motives of people that I just met.
23:43You happen to be one of those people.
23:47How do you look at me?
23:49Do I look like a likable guy?
23:52People don't see me for the first time.
23:53I go, oh my God, he seems nice.
23:56I need to be really careful about who I align myself with.
24:00Well, I don't appreciate being lumped in with all the haters,
24:05especially when I have gone out of my way to prove that I can be trusted.
24:10I would like to have a friend right now
24:14and I would really like for it to be you,
24:16but I'm having a hard time believing
24:18that you're telling the truth about your recovery.
24:22Of course I'm telling the truth.
24:23I thought you already accepted that too,
24:25but I'm really questioning everything right now.
24:27You don't know how it felt
24:29to have someone believe me,
24:32give me the benefit of the doubt.
24:36Yeah, yeah, I mean,
24:39it really brought me closer to you.
24:43You, you saw me
24:45and not the monster that I used to be.
24:50Do you really think
24:52that you can give me that kind of validation
24:56and I would just turn around and betray you?
25:01That lunatic psycho freak.
25:03I assume we're still talking about Patty Williams.
25:06Now that she took Matt,
25:07I have no leverage, I have nothing.
25:09I have nothing to make a deal with Victor or Nick.
25:12Well, back up for a minute.
25:14When did Nick get into the picture?
25:18Nick came to me privately
25:20and he agreed to make a deal with me
25:22that didn't require me giving back Newman Enterprises.
25:26Oh.
25:27So in exchange for turning over Matt...
25:30Yeah, I'm going to get Christine
25:31to drop the charges against me.
25:33Does Victor know about this?
25:34I doubt it.
25:35Wow.
25:36It's very risky of Nick.
25:37He must be very eager to get rid of that man.
25:40Not that I blame him, actually.
25:41He's not that eager.
25:43Why do you say that?
25:45Nick was with me
25:47when I saw that Matt was gone.
25:49And then I offered to team up and fight.
25:52It doesn't matter.
25:53All of this doesn't matter.
25:55If I can't get the charges dropped against me,
25:59Lauren, I'm screwed.
26:02Well, there is another option.
26:06One that doesn't get people killed in the process.
26:18I'm thirsty.
26:20Let me go get you.
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,
26:47but I think my view is much better.
26:50Shame goes for the jacket.
26:52It might look good on me,
26:53but on you,
26:53it looks out of this world amazing.
26:56Maybe I'll keep it.
26:58Are you going to fight me for it?
26:59Oh, yeah?
27:00Yeah.
27:09This is the last thing I expected to happen
27:11when I asked you to come to New York with me.
27:13Next 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 stand.
27:30Well, you should probably go see your dad
27:32in the hospital at some point.
27:34I mean, it's the reason why you're here.
27:38All right, I'll tell you what.
27:40I'm going to go spend some time with Malcolm,
27:42then I'll come back,
27:42and we can grab dinner.
27:45That sounds perfect.
27:48Let me grab a quick shower.
27:52I will get that jacket back.
28:14I know that your mind is still fuzzy,
28:18but have you forgotten
28:19that you and I are in the same position?
28:23From what you said,
28:25you were as much a pariah as I was.
28:28We both want to prove to the citizens of this town
28:32that we've reformed
28:35good people who deeply, deeply regret our past.
28:40Yeah, I'm not so sure
28:41that'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
28:51and she wanted to trade me in,
28:53then it makes sense
28:54that 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
28:58is prove to the citizens of this town
29:00that you're a changed woman,
29:01well, wouldn't you just do
29:02what Phyllis was going to do
29:03and turn me in?
29:04I mean, wouldn't that generate more goodwill
29:06than helping some degenerate guy get away?
29:08Matt, I have been honest
29:12and forthright with you
29:13more than I've probably been with anyone.
29:17I'm not Phyllis.
29:20I wouldn't try to sell you out,
29:22but she tried to.
29:24I just don't understand
29:25why you can't accept that.
29:27Have I ever, ever given you
29:30any 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
29:44that there's no dropping the charges
29:46without Matt.
29:48So instead of swapping Matt
29:50for your freedom,
29:52exchange this company
29:54and Victor will go to Christine.
29:56He will get the charges dropped
29:58and then you will walk free.
30:00No, I walk away with nothing, Lauren.
30:03No company,
30:05no job,
30:06no life.
30:07Do you understand that?
30:09I'm back to square one,
30:10a place I never, ever
30:12thought I would be.
30:14But here I am.
30:16Need I remind you,
30:17by the way,
30:17I wouldn't be giving
30:18Victor Newman Enterprises.
30:20I'd be giving him
30:21Summer's Conglomerate.
30:22This is our company partner.
30:24Remember?
30:25Yes.
30:26Yes, of course.
30:27I remember.
30:27Okay, so you probably
30:28also remember
30:29that you agreed
30:30to go head-to-head
30:31with Victor Newman
30:32with me.
30:32Yes, you are right,
30:34but that is also
30:34before you were arrested.
30:36Okay, it's bogus evidence.
30:38It's never, ever
30:40going to hold up in court.
30:41Ever.
30:42We have so many plans
30:44for 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
30:55risking your freedom?
30:57Yes.
30:59Matt Clark
31:00or no Matt Clark,
31:02I am never giving up.
31:05Jack was trying to save me
31:07from myself,
31:08and he succeeded.
31:10On the other hand,
31:12Victor set a plan in motion
31:14that has destroyed
31:15Jack's marriage.
31:17I mean, you can't blow up
31:19somebody's life
31:20and expect me to stay quiet.
31:21And that was enough.
31:23No, I get it.
31:24I get it.
31:24I mean, I understand
31:26the frustration
31:26of trying to predict
31:27his moods
31:28and his reactions.
31:30It's exhausting
31:31is what it is.
31:32And more and more,
31:34it's feeling irreparable.
31:37Frankly, I don't know
31:38if Victor and I
31:39will come back from this.
31:45What makes...
31:49It is one very cool jacket,
31:50if I do say so myself.
31:52And you look
31:53incredibly hot.
31:55Not as hot
31:56as you did.
31:58Maybe you'll have to
31:59let me borrow it sometime.
32:01Only if
32:02you went like you did earlier.
32:04Deal.
32:08Thank you again
32:09for such
32:10amazing gifts.
32:20I will
32:21be back soon.
32:23I'll be waiting.
32:27I'll be waiting.
32:42I'm not giving up
32:43this company.
32:44I can't.
32:45What do you mean
32:46you can't?
32:47This can't mean
32:49more to you
32:49than your children
32:50and your freedom.
32:53A business
32:54can't be worth
32:55risking prison.
32:56That's all
32:57I have left,
32:59Lauren.
33:00I've lost
33:01my children.
33:03I'm not
33:04losing this, too.
33:06You cannot
33:06put so much
33:07of your self-worth
33:08into this company.
33:11You are so much
33:13more
33:14than
33:14Summer's McGlum.
33:15Am I?
33:16Really?
33:18I'm looking for a really
33:20hot woman
33:20to have dinner.
33:29I thought I told you
33:30to meet me
33:30in the lobby.
33:31I thought you said
33:32she was going to be here.
33:33Well,
33:34she wasn't then.
33:38What?
33:38No threats?
33:39You're not going
33:40to have me thrown out?
33:43Why do I feel like
33:44I'm interrupting something?
33:47Phyllis
33:50has lost
33:51her leverage
33:51with Christine
33:52and
33:54it's a very
33:55big decision
33:56to make.
34:05Someone
34:06got some
34:06flowers.
34:07Oh.
34:08That would
34:09be
34:10you.
34:12Me?
34:13I wonder
34:13if it's Mom.
34:18thinking of you
34:19who don't want
34:19to push
34:20will keep my
34:21distance until
34:22you reach out
34:22to me.
34:23I'm hoping
34:24soon you'll
34:25have a reason
34:25to.
34:26With love,
34:28Patty.
34:31No.
34:32You haven't
34:33given me
34:33any reason
34:34to not
34:35trust you.
34:36You can't.
34:37Yet.
34:38Because,
34:39yeah,
34:40better safe
34:41than on a
34:41hotel room floor
34:43tied up
34:44and gagged.
34:45How many
34:46times do I
34:47have to tell
34:47you that I'm
34:48not Phyllis?
34:48I would never
34:49hurt you.
34:50It's not
34:50personal.
34:51I would put
34:52distance between
34:52myself and
34:53anyone right now.
34:54I have no
34:55idea what's
34:56happening to me.
34:56I don't know
34:57who I am.
34:59And I just
35:00think it's better
35:01for everybody
35:01if I'm just
35:02alone.
35:03So,
35:03it's not that
35:04I don't appreciate
35:05all of the help
35:06that you gave me.
35:07I, too,
35:08thank you.
35:08I will never
35:09forget it.
35:10I promise.
35:20Hey, Mom.
35:23No, actually,
35:24the trip has been
35:24nothing like I
35:25expected,
35:26but in the
35:28best possible
35:29way.
35:30When you say
35:31she lost her
35:32leverage with
35:33Christine,
35:34are you
35:36saying...
35:38she lost
35:39Matt?
35:40It's over.
35:51I know you
35:52don't want to
35:52hear this right
35:53now,
35:55but maybe
35:56it really is
35:57time
35:58to accept
35:59defeat.
36:03There it is,
36:05the calm
36:05before the
36:06storm.
36:07What do you
36:07think she
36:07wants?
36:08I have no
36:09idea.
36:10Maybe she's
36:11all in on
36:11helping you
36:12take down
36:12Victor.
36:13Well,
36:13why doesn't
36:13she say
36:14that?
36:14Why the
36:14flowers?
36:15Why the
36:15cryptic
36:16message about
36:16me reaching
36:17out to her?
36:18My God,
36:18what have I
36:19unleashed?
36:19I knew it
36:20was playing
36:20with fire
36:21to try and
36:21use her.
36:22Betty is
36:22definitely
36:23up to
36:23something.
36:24I just
36:25have to
36:25figure out
36:25what it
36:26is before
36:27it's too
36:27late.
36:32after
36:33everything
36:33I've
36:34done
36:34for
36:34him,
36:35helping
36:36him break
36:36out,
36:37risk my
36:38freedom,
36:40I could
36:41have got
36:41caught eating
36:42in the
36:42belly,
36:43and still,
36:45he walks
36:46out on
36:46me.
36:50Well,
36:50I am
36:51going to
36:51show him
36:52what a
36:52mistake
36:53that was.
37:05Victor.
37:07Yes,
37:08it's
37:08Patty.
37:10I heard
37:11you were
37:11looking for
37:12someone named
37:14Matt Clark.
37:21Next week
37:22on The Young
37:23and the Restless.
37:24Mom hasn't
37:24been to
37:25the office
37:25in two
37:26days.
37:26Her bed
37:27hadn't been
37:28slept in.
37:29None of
37:29this is
37:29normal.
37:30Is this
37:31fake?
37:34I thought
37:35it went
37:35awake.
37:37It's
37:37back.
37:42Oh,
37:43I really
37:43said it.
37:44Nick!
