00:14Oh, yeah, so is there any news about Newman Enterprises or Matt Clark?
00:19From what I understand, the Matt Clark threat has been neutralized, and we may have Newman Enterprises back soon.
00:27That is wonderful. What a relief it is. So tell me, how was New York?
00:33And when we spoke on the phone, it sounded like things were going well.
00:36They were. Yeah, they did. How's Malcolm? How's Holden?
00:47So are you satisfied with these times?
00:50Um, I am. You?
00:53I mean, this isn't fair. The Smithville group's happy. We're happy.
00:57Cheers to Winters.
00:59To Winters.
01:02Oh, Holden. Hey, welcome back.
01:04Thanks. Thanks.
01:06Did you just get here from New York?
01:08Yeah, with Claire and my mom.
01:10Okay. How's Malcolm doing? Is he still okay?
01:54Yeah, still no word for my dad.
01:57Yeah, he may be busy.
02:00Yeah, with Matt.
02:01I mean, I know it was my idea to shake some memories out of him,
02:06but I still can't believe his reaction when he saw this place.
02:11A sense of memories can be intense.
02:15And for you, too?
02:18How do you feel?
02:21It's just a lot to take in.
02:24Be honest with me.
02:26Are you having second thoughts about the club?
02:32The fact that you would turn on me like this and threaten me like this?
02:38You hid Matt from the authorities.
02:40You harbored a fugitive.
02:42I didn't know he was a fugitive.
02:44I didn't know that.
02:46And you're well aware of this.
02:47And that you would actually lie to the police and put me in this kind of position?
02:54We need our company back.
02:55No more games.
02:57I saved your life.
02:59You died right in front of me, and I saved your life.
03:04Have you forgotten that happened?
03:06No, we're moving on from that.
03:07This right here is what needs to be resolved.
03:09So you're blackmailing me right now.
03:12Unless I give Summer's conglomerate to your father.
03:15It was always his company.
03:17What is happening?
03:18What is going on right now?
03:19Who are you?
03:20I'm down.
03:21Were you released from the hospital too soon?
03:23I am fine.
03:25No, you're not.
03:25You're a drug addict.
03:27That's what you are.
03:29The Nick Newman I know would never do this to me.
03:37Dr. Simmons, you're back.
03:44Stephanie, remember?
03:46None of that formal stuff for us.
03:48Hey.
03:49You're right, Stephanie, Stephanie.
03:51It's good to see you.
03:52You too.
03:52I thought you might stay in New York for a while with Malcolm.
03:55My patient is doing exceptionally well.
03:58Good.
03:58Glad to hear it.
04:00You did an incredible job getting him top-notch care.
04:03That's what we doctors do, right?
04:06I always tried.
04:08Past tense.
04:09We never stop being doctors, do we?
04:12I do still get asked to weigh in on a lot of medical questions.
04:15Oh, the old friends and family discount, right?
04:20Sometimes I lie when I first meet someone at a cocktail party for fear that they'll ask me to look
04:25at a mole.
04:26I've been there.
04:28Is that inappropriate?
04:30No, not at all.
04:31Okay, good.
04:32I consider it a professional courtesy to be able to make jokes.
04:35It relieves a high-stakes stress.
04:38Seriously, though, Malcolm is in very capable hands.
04:42That's why I decided to come back here.
04:44Because of Holden?
04:45Yeah, I want to be there to support my son any way that I can.
04:49With the news of Malcolm, I dropped a pretty big emotional bombshell on my son.
04:54Well, he seems to be taking it in stride.
04:58Holden likes to say that everything is okay.
05:01But I'm worried that the weight of it all hasn't truly hit him yet.
05:07Malcolm is doing well.
05:08He was talking, cracking jokes, just in good spirits.
05:12Aw, that sounds like him.
05:14It was nice to spend some more time with him.
05:16Well, hopefully soon you can do it outside of a hospital room.
05:19How much longer will he have to be there?
05:22Well, my mom's guess is just a few more days, maybe a week at most.
05:26But if his team feels like his recovery is on track, they'll let him go then.
05:29Okay.
05:30Well, I'd like to be in New York when that happens.
05:33Me too.
05:34Maybe we could coordinate if you want.
05:36Yeah, I like that.
05:39So are the nurses still fawning over him?
05:41Every last one of them.
05:43Actually, you know what?
05:44There was one holdout.
05:46No.
05:46Yeah.
05:47My God, Malcolm hates it when someone doesn't like it.
05:50Usually doesn't have problems with that.
05:52I'm sure he's going to make it his mission to change her mind.
05:54Well, he's pulling out all the stops, but so far there's no luck.
05:58He might not leave the hospital until he does.
06:00I wouldn't be surprised.
06:08Malcolm's operation went really well.
06:10The bone marrow transplant was a success.
06:13That's so wonderful.
06:14Holden must be so happy.
06:16Yeah, I guess he's just relieved that his dad's going to be okay, or at least it seems like he's
06:20going to be.
06:21Yeah, well, you know, it was good that you went with him.
06:25I was a little worried about it at first.
06:27I didn't want to intrude or have it be weird, but there was actually a lot of downtime, so I
06:31spent some of it with Holden.
06:32But I also got to run around the city and give him some family time.
06:35Oh, nice.
06:36Did you do any sightseeing?
06:37All over.
06:38Yeah, I walked through Central Park, went to MoMA and the Met, and...
06:43Oh, one of the days, actually, Holden and I went to the Statue of Liberty, and we went all the
06:47way to the top.
06:48It was really beautiful.
06:50Can I ask, um, what is your status these days?
06:55You want a label for me and Holden?
06:57I'm just trying to understand.
06:58I mean, what you're describing sounds like it's a little bit more than friendship.
07:04It sounds like it might be potentially serious.
07:06Am I right?
07:11This has nothing to do with the drugs.
07:13Stop trying to change the subject.
07:14That is the subject.
07:15I had to save your life because of those drugs, Nick.
07:23That changed everything for me.
07:25I would assume it would change things for you, too.
07:29I am grateful.
07:30I am.
07:31I know I would not be standing here if it wasn't for you.
07:34But what do you want?
07:36You want me to lie to you?
07:38You asked, I answered.
07:40And what happened doesn't change the fact that you stole my family's company from us.
07:45My dad's not going to forget it, and neither will I.
07:47What happened is not going to wipe the slate clean.
07:52I didn't save your life to be let off the hook.
07:57I saved your life because it was you.
08:00I owe you that life.
08:04But I'm telling you right now, if you do not give my family the company back,
08:11you are going to prison.
08:19I'm not sure I would call it serious what's happening with Holden and me.
08:23Not at the moment.
08:26So you're more than friends.
08:30Yes, Mom.
08:31I'm just asking.
08:33I don't think I'm ready for anything serious.
08:35You know, Kyle and I got serious, and that became a problem for us.
08:40Holden makes me laugh.
08:44And I enjoy being with him.
08:46We have fun.
08:50You don't look happy.
08:52No, this is just my listening face.
08:55Well, the thoughts inside your head are very loud.
08:57So if you have concerns, I am willing to hear them.
09:01I'm your mother.
09:02Right?
09:03I am your mother.
09:05That's where this is coming from.
09:06Understood.
09:08Do you trust Holden?
09:10Does he make you feel safe?
09:11Yes.
09:13He makes me happy.
09:15And I am confident that whatever happens, I can take care of myself.
09:20Whatever happens?
09:22Well, that doesn't sound very promising.
09:23I just mean that sometimes things don't work out, and I'll be fine either way.
09:27You said that you weren't sure about getting involved with him because you suspected that maybe he was keeping secrets
09:32from you.
09:34That's true.
09:35What has changed?
09:36Did you get past it?
09:38Or has he told you everything?
09:44Oh, this is Maddie.
09:47Give me a second.
09:47Sorry.
09:49Hey.
09:50Hey, I didn't mean to interrupt your meeting.
09:54That's not a problem.
09:57It, uh, it seems like you and Lily have a great work in Dynamite.
10:02Yeah, man, we do.
10:03We do.
10:03As business partners and siblings.
10:07Well, it must be nice.
10:09Yeah, it's very nice.
10:11Very, very protective and close with my family.
10:14Especially protective over Lily.
10:18Yeah, I, uh, I remember you making that clear when Damien and I first came to town.
10:24Regarding Nate.
10:26Yeah, well, I mean, I, I had reasons to be concerned about you, and if I'm being honest, those haven't
10:35really gone away.
10:37Well, believe me, I didn't expect this turn of events that I would end up being a member of your
10:43family.
10:43I know, I know, I know, it's pretty wild.
10:46Yeah.
10:47And I hope that you're going to treat this situation well and not just try to use it to your
10:53advantage.
10:54How would I do that in any way that you could, you seem like you're, you know, an opportunist.
11:03Well, if you mean that you see me as a seize the day kind of guy, well, then I take
11:08that as a compliment because I do take chances and see what doors open for me.
11:12And there's nothing wrong with that.
11:13I'm just letting you know you're going to have to prove yourself.
11:15That's all.
11:17To you.
11:19To anyone with the last name Winters.
11:22And I say this just because we've put a lot of energy and a lot of time into accomplishing what
11:27we have, and we don't want anybody to just swoop in thinking that they can reap the benefits.
11:33You know?
11:35The Winters aren't your meal ticket.
11:39Malcolm's procedure went so well.
11:42Everything came together.
11:43And I am so relieved.
11:47It's a...
11:56It's a wonder when that happens, right?
11:59Nothing more gratifying.
12:02I did put together a dream medical team, if I do say so.
12:06So relieved, Malcolm.
12:09And very happy for you.
12:13Selfishly, I wanted Malcolm to stick around.
12:15Not just for our sakes, but especially for Holden's.
12:18They deserve a chance to get to know each other.
12:21Not they do.
12:24So, how long are you thinking of staying in town?
12:29Undecided at this point.
12:31Okay.
12:32Well, not to be pushy, but I think Genoa City wouldn't mind you sticking around for a bit.
12:39Have you ever thought about relocating here?
12:43It's funny you should mention that.
12:45While I was in New York, I got a call from the board of directors of Genoa City Memorial Hospital.
12:51It appears that they're looking for a new chief of staff.
12:55Someone put my name in the running.
12:57See, I have a confession to make.
13:01That would be me.
13:06It really is a trip.
13:08Being here.
13:10You created the vibe exactly.
13:13Your vibe.
13:15Your vision.
13:18To have a finished product.
13:23I wasn't prepared for any of this.
13:25I wanted to surprise you.
13:28You know, Matt kind of ruined the L.A. version, and I wanted you to have another chance to make
13:34the club you just signed your own.
13:36I'm sorry to you.
13:40Look, I know that it was our plan to run this place together, but now I'm worried that there's more
13:50negative than positive memories here for you.
14:00Listen, I hate, I hate to say this, but I'm afraid you might be right.
14:13Look at you.
14:14You're just like your dad.
14:16I'm trying to protect you.
14:18Give me a break.
14:19Would you prefer it if I wasn't honest with you?
14:21Dare I ask what's going on here?
14:22I'd rather you doubt it.
14:23You probably shouldn't.
14:25All right, let's try this instead.
14:28How are you feeling, Nick?
14:30Lauren told me what happened in the office last night, that you ended up in the hospital.
14:37You told Lauren?
14:38Of course I told Lauren.
14:39She's my friend and business partner.
14:42My ex-husband died in my office.
14:45Of course I told her.
14:46Of course I thought that we might be in a better place right now.
14:49I was wrong.
14:50Do you think this is fun for me?
14:52Do you think I enjoy doing this to you?
14:54Don't do it, Nick.
14:56You have given me no choice.
14:59You have until the end of the day to make up your mind.
15:10I appreciate everything that you have done.
15:15Yeah.
15:17But this place, memories, bothers you.
15:23And I want you to feel comfortable telling me that.
15:28Look, I have a lot of really good memories from the club in L.A., especially in the early days.
15:37It's just hard not to feel tainted after everything that Matt has done.
15:43Yeah, I get it.
15:44And I'm just not sure I see myself slipping back into any version of that world.
15:54I'm sorry.
15:55I tried for a grand gesture and it failed miserably.
15:58Okay, that's not true.
15:59Yes, yes.
16:00No, I should have kept you in the loop.
16:03Okay, let you see the progress along the way.
16:04Of course you'd be triggered when you walked in here.
16:07Okay, Noah, stop.
16:08Stop, stop, stop.
16:09I love that you did this for me.
16:13And I know that you meant well.
16:15And the principle behind the whole thing, it made sense.
16:18Right?
16:19We start a new path together.
16:26It's just, you know, being here and finally seeing this place recreated like this.
16:38It's just hitting me in a way that I didn't expect.
16:41And I'm just trying to take it all in.
16:46And I'm processing.
16:47Thanks for trying to make me feel better.
16:53Listen, let's just not focus on the club anymore because I think the priority right now is figuring out what's
17:01going to happen with Matt.
17:03Yeah.
17:04You still haven't heard from my dad.
17:06Yeah, I cannot help but wonder what that means.
17:12I realize I no longer work for Victor or for you, Phyllis.
17:15I probably have no right to ask this.
17:17No, I've never stopped you before.
17:18What exactly are we talking about?
17:20Because I get a sense that some unsolicited legal advice may be useful right around now.
17:25Nick is threatening to hand me over to the authorities, this time for harboring a fugitive.
17:31Matt Clark?
17:32Yeah, Matt Clark.
17:34Nick is willing to lie to the police and tell them that he told me that Matt Clark was wanted
17:40in Vegas, even after I saved your life.
17:44Right, Nick?
17:45Why would you do that?
17:47Because we want our company back.
17:50If Phyllis makes that happen, then nobody will be speaking to the Vegas PD, and I will make sure all
17:56of the charges against Phyllis are dropped.
17:58Victor will probably want Phyllis to pay even after she returns to the company.
18:04I'll handle my father.
18:06There's no guarantee you can.
18:08And there's no way you could be certain that the charges against Phyllis will be dropped.
18:12That decision is Christine's to make.
18:14I'll make sure that Christine can never prove that Phyllis ever had Matt.
18:18And then I will convince her that all of the emails were fabricated in order to force Phyllis's hand.
18:24And implicate your father.
18:26Put him in legal jeopardy.
18:29Look, the point is, all of this is going to be worked out and settled.
18:35I will do everything in my power to make sure that Christine doesn't have a case.
18:40As long as I do what you want, right?
18:44I've given you your options.
18:46The next move is yours.
18:48I highly suggest you make the right call.
19:01I think that Holden is keeping a secret.
19:05That there's something that he's holding back and it has to do with Audra.
19:08You okay with that?
19:10I don't like it, but I don't think it's as nefarious as I thought it was.
19:15And it was a long time ago.
19:17I don't really want to obsess over it anymore.
19:20You said before that you were worried about getting fixated on Holden's past
19:24and trying to dig up all this dirt on Audra
19:27because it reminded me of Jordan.
19:28That instinct to hunt and be vindictive.
19:32You're nothing like her, you know that.
19:34Well, not anymore because you saved me from that.
19:38You and Dad and the rest of the family.
19:40So you're okay that there's a piece of Holden's past that you don't know about,
19:45you might never know about?
19:48Everybody has secrets.
19:51And frankly, there's a part of Holden's past that just came to light
19:56that even he didn't know about.
19:57Ah, yes, Malcolm.
19:59And as soon as Holden's mom told him that Malcolm Winters was his father,
20:03he opened up to me.
20:04He trusted me when he was feeling really vulnerable.
20:07And I just saw another side of him.
20:11Mom.
20:12I also really sympathize with what he's going through.
20:17Yeah, you can relate.
20:20Jordan lied to me for very different reasons, but yes, I've been there.
20:24And when you find out that you literally aren't the person that you thought you were,
20:28it changes you.
20:31So what Holden's going through bonded us.
20:33It changed our connection.
20:35It made it stronger.
20:37So to answer your question,
20:39I could eventually see our relationship progressing.
20:45And the time is right.
20:47I can understand why you think the worst of me,
20:50but I hope that I can prove to you that I'm not actually a bad guy.
20:53I hope that too.
20:55Well, and I can promise I'm not trying to force my way
20:59into the winner's inner circle, both personally or professionally.
21:03Right, and I don't assume that you're trying to do that.
21:05I'm just here to tell you that it wouldn't be smart if that was your plan.
21:08That's all.
21:09You're devoted to your family.
21:11Ben, I can appreciate how up front you've been with how you feel about me,
21:15but I swear to you, I'm not looking for anything from you.
21:20I didn't ask to be put in this position.
21:22I'm honestly just trying my best to figure out what this all means
21:26and where I go from here.
21:28Sure.
21:29I got you.
21:31Hey.
21:32Hey.
21:33Everything okay?
21:41Hey, Doc.
21:43My boy.
21:44Have a seat.
21:48Have you been?
21:50Uh, pretty good, all things considered.
21:56Have you had a chance to visit the clinic that Sharon recommended?
22:01Not yet, but I'm going to.
22:06You know, we need you to get well.
22:10I know, Dad.
22:12I'll get there.
22:15How'd it go when you went to see Matt?
22:18He came to remember everything he has done, and he is very remorseful.
22:25And he's just here to do anything to avoid future punishment.
22:31So how do you feel about that?
22:32Letting him off the hook.
22:34I mean, are you buying this?
22:36Good question.
22:39Good question.
22:42You recommended me for the chief of staff position.
22:46I have ties to Memorial.
22:49I used to be the chief of surgery at the hospital.
22:51Oh, I remember that your mother told me when she was bragging on you.
22:57I'm still close to some of the folks there.
22:59And one of them told me the current chief of staff was retiring and wondered if I would be interested
23:05in the position.
23:06Well, once a doctor, always a doctor.
23:09Giving out second opinions to friends and family.
23:12It's a far cry from taking on a job like that.
23:16So, you turned them down.
23:18Look, I loved working in medicine.
23:21It will always be a part of who I am.
23:23But I am very happy working with my family at Wantus.
23:27But I did tell them I knew someone who would be perfect.
23:30Ha!
23:30And that was me.
23:32You'd be great.
23:34Telling you, they would be lucky to have you.
23:39Everything's good.
23:40Devon and I were just discussing the importance of protecting family.
23:45Oh.
23:45Is that right?
23:47Yeah.
23:47Yeah.
23:48Despite the differences that we've had in the past.
23:50I know it's something that we definitely can agree on.
23:54Glad we understand that.
23:57Lily, I'll be in touch later.
23:59So, let me know if you talk to Malcolm or get any updates.
24:02Especially about that holdout nurse.
24:04Yeah.
24:05You do the same.
24:11Why are you looking at me like that?
24:14What did you say to Holden?
24:16And why would you give him a hard time?
24:18Especially right now.
24:22My dad seemed so thrown by what happened with Matt when his memories came back.
24:28Yeah, well...
24:29It was a shock.
24:38Couldn't have been easy for you to see, either.
24:42Yeah, well, I just...
24:44Didn't expect him to react like that.
24:46I thought he'd probably revert back to his old self.
24:49Moist defiance.
24:51Well, definitely not pain and remorse.
24:55Yeah, I don't think I really thought it through completely.
25:00I mean, did I expect him to remember trying to kill us all and then freak out on us in
25:03the moment?
25:04Lash out?
25:05Anything was possible, I suppose.
25:07Yeah.
25:08I was definitely braced for the worst.
25:11It was pretty intense.
25:15Yeah.
25:16Yeah, he put on quite a show.
25:18But come on, nobody could have faked what we just saw.
25:22So you really believe it was real?
25:24Yeah, how could it not be?
25:25It's Matt.
25:28And he can't be trusted, I know.
25:30I know.
25:31It's just...
25:36I actually felt sorry for him.
25:40Broke my heart to see him like that.
25:43Anyway, I guess your dad is just trying to figure out what's next with him, just like we are.
25:50Yeah, what happens next is anyone's guess.
25:54And Matt is nothing, if not unpredictable.
25:59Only time will tell, whether Matt Clark is truly remorseful.
26:07He's freaking it.
26:11Yeah, we've got to be careful.
26:12You know, we can't underestimate him.
26:15No way.
26:16I still don't know how to proceed with him, you know.
26:22Well, I did make the offer to Christine.
26:26We hand over Matt to her if she drops the charges against Phyllis.
26:31Why don't you do that?
26:32I wouldn't have approved of that.
26:35I know that, but this might be the cleanest way to get what we want, without focusing on revenge.
26:42You're talking about Matt Clark or Phyllis?
26:46You honestly think we should forgive her for what she has done?
26:50I mean, Dad.
26:51She saved my life.
26:54You know I still care about her.
26:56I do not want to see her go to prison.
27:04You okay?
27:05I saved his life yesterday.
27:07Matt and I brought him back to life.
27:09He was dead in my office, Michael.
27:13He was dead.
27:14And so now the Newmans have Matt.
27:17He got what he wanted.
27:19That was our deal.
27:20He still wants me arrested.
27:22Because of the company.
27:24When...
27:27When is it going to end?
27:31I think we both know the answer to that one.
27:39The...
27:40In case it isn't obvious, I'm a huge fan of your work and of you as a person.
27:46My mother raves about you and I feel fortunate to have gotten to know you better.
27:51The feeling's mutual.
27:53If my admiration caused me to go too far, I apologize.
27:58I did tell them it would be a long shot that you have a successful career in New York.
28:03That I do.
28:04I can tell them I misspoke to withdraw your name from consideration.
28:08No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, let's not do that.
28:11Let's just hold off for a little bit.
28:14Really?
28:15Yeah.
28:15I'm actually not opposed to exploring the opportunity.
28:26It's not what it's going on all of a sudden.
28:28Hey!
28:30Hey!
28:31I hope I'm not interrupting.
28:32No, you're fine.
28:34Nice to see you, Holden.
28:35You too.
28:37Claire was just telling me about your trip.
28:39It sounds like you two had a nice time.
28:41Well, having Claire there made everything better.
28:46I should, uh, I should check in with your grandmother.
28:49Okay.
28:50Um, will you please, please update me on everything?
28:53I will.
28:54I will.
28:55You two enjoy your afternoon.
28:56I love you.
29:01Yeah.
29:07Miss you.
29:08Miss you.
29:08Well, I did just see you on the flight home, and also all of the days before that.
29:18It seemed like you really needed that.
29:21Did something bad happen?
29:24Well, not bad, exactly.
29:27To be honest, it was something I was expecting.
29:31What does it matter?
29:33I mean, why are you so concerned about him?
29:34He's a big boy, and he takes care of himself.
29:36Okay, well, he just found out that he didn't know who his real father was, right?
29:41That's something that you and I can both relate to.
29:43Right.
29:44And then finally...
29:50Stop lashing out at people in the name of protecting me.
29:54Somebody's got to do it.
29:56Okay, I know that you don't trust Cain, and you don't trust Holden, right?
30:00You've made that very clear.
30:02Mm-hmm.
30:03But I'm wondering if the real problem is, is that you don't trust me.
30:10What happened last night?
30:12Sounds awful.
30:13Traumatic and horrible.
30:14Horrible.
30:15It was.
30:16I saved his life.
30:18Michael, I saved his life.
30:19He was dead in my office.
30:21I had to revive him.
30:24Well, you did.
30:25You saved his life.
30:27Summer's father.
30:28What you did was heroic.
30:29You should be proud.
30:30I'm just honestly relieved he's okay.
30:34Yeah, well, unfortunately, you could do hundreds, even thousands of selfless acts deserving of praise and gratitude and still not
30:41sway Victor's opinion of you.
30:43Because he wants his company back.
30:45No, no.
30:46And Nick is just being Nick.
30:48He's trying to help his father.
30:49He's not trying to be cruel to you, per se.
30:51He just sees that Victor's pride and his dignity have been wounded.
30:55Unfortunately, it just leaves you in a no-win situation.
30:58How much more of this can you take?
31:03What do you mean by that?
31:07Ever since you took over Newman Enterprises, the Newmans have been coming at you from every side.
31:12And Nick has just confirmed that they have no intention of stopping.
31:22What point are you trying to make?
31:26It's time to move on.
31:31I want you to understand something.
31:33I'm immensely grateful that Phyllis helped save your life.
31:38You and me both.
31:39But she still owns Newman Enterprises.
31:41I want her back.
31:43Yes, I know.
31:44By any means necessary?
31:45Well, she doesn't cooperate.
31:49Should another thing coming?
31:51Well, I gave her an ultimatum.
31:54Either she gives us our company back, or I call the Vegas PD and let them know that she aided
31:59and abetted Matt while she knew he was a fugitive.
32:03So you're willing to implicate her?
32:05I am.
32:07If she doesn't come to her senses.
32:08But Dad, I also told her that if she does the right thing, I'm going to help her.
32:13In what way?
32:16I will prove to Christine that the incriminating emails are fake.
32:24Why would you do that?
32:33I may be ready to make a career change.
32:36I mean, New York has been wonderful, but new scenery, new people.
32:41I'm intrigued.
32:43And you'd be closer to Holden?
32:45And I'd also be closer to you.
32:47I could score some points with your mother.
32:50Sure.
32:53I like the idea of being in the same city as Holden.
32:57We've always been really close, and I'd like to keep it that way.
33:01Is there some trouble there?
33:02He says no, but I kept the secret of Malcolm being Holden's father from him his whole life.
33:10That eroded some trust.
33:13I'd welcome the opportunity to repair that.
33:18I ran into Lily and Devon, and Lily, she was great.
33:23She was totally fine.
33:26But Devon...
33:27Not so much.
33:30He doesn't trust me.
33:33I didn't make the greatest of impressions when I first came to town,
33:36and now that I'm related to Devon's sister,
33:38and the guy's not thrilled.
33:40I know how you feel.
33:42My first impression was actually way worse, and look at me now.
33:46Full-fledged human.
33:47So maybe in time, Devon will come around, or...
33:51You'll sway him.
33:53Well, I understand why he's protective of Lily and wary of me.
33:57I, uh...
33:58I have been a bit of an opportunist for most of my life.
34:02I basically admit it to him.
34:05At least you were honest.
34:07Well, I'm willing to work at it.
34:09I want to show the entire Winner's family that I am worthy of being included.
34:13And how hard do you think that's going to be?
34:15Well, given Devon's attitude, I'd say I have my work cut out for me.
34:20Lily, I trust you with my life, all right?
34:24I just think your logic lately has been a little clouded.
34:27By what?
34:29That's a great question.
34:30I don't know.
34:31Because you want to protect Holden and Cain for reasons that I don't understand.
34:36You've basically forgiven Cain for everything he's done to you and your children,
34:41and you've opened your life up to Holden without knowing anything about the guy,
34:45or if he's trustworthy at all.
34:47Okay, well, things change.
34:49People evolve, okay?
34:50I have.
34:51That's great for you.
34:53I think you're giving these guys a pass they don't deserve.
34:57Okay, what do you want me to do?
34:58Do you want me to be mad for the rest of my life?
35:01I don't want to live my life like that,
35:03the way that, honestly, you have been lately.
35:06What's that, man?
35:08You're stuck in your anger.
35:10You're mad at the world.
35:12Look, Devon, I know that what happened with Dom shook you, okay?
35:16But I'm starting to feel like maybe it's deeper than that.
35:19And it's really worrying me.
35:25Son, once again, you promised something without consulting me.
35:30That's after you made a side deal with Phyllis.
35:33I know.
35:35But Phyllis kept her into the bargain, Dad.
35:37She gave us Matt.
35:39So you were willing to give up Newman Enterprises in order to get my clock?
35:46Yeah, I was.
35:48And I'm sorry.
35:49But I don't regret it.
35:53And now part of me feels indebted to the guy for saving me.
35:56Well, for once the bastard did the right thing.
36:01But listen, we cannot admit that the emails were fake.
36:06What's the worst Christine can do?
36:08All right, if we give her Matt, she may not even care that the evidence was faked.
36:12Of course you care.
36:14You don't know that for sure.
36:18Forget Phyllis for a moment.
36:21Do you think that Matt Clark should be punished?
36:27Honestly, Dad, I don't know at this point.
36:33The Newman's having me over a barrel, don't they?
36:37They're relentless.
36:40They're just so resentful because I won.
36:44That they're so resentful because I beat them at their own game and they can't take it.
36:51You seized control of Newman Enterprises.
36:54Which other people have done, Michael.
36:56Other people have done this.
36:58But for me, it's one attack after the other.
37:02It's one guilt trip after the other.
37:06I can't even enjoy this anymore.
37:09You've had to look over your shoulder the whole time.
37:11Yeah, or somebody's in my face telling me what a horrible person I am.
37:18Well, you think that maybe you're done?
37:23That you're ready to just let go?
37:26To give it all back?
37:31For the first time.
37:35I am realizing that's possibly the only option I have left.
