00:00You look tired, Mom.
00:03I didn't get much sleep last night.
00:05Do you still have that headache?
00:08When are you going to do something about it?
00:11I'll call the doctor later if it gets worse.
00:14No.
00:15No, Mom, you'll call the doctor right now.
00:18Victoria, I have had these migranes before.
00:22And my doctor will probably say it's a symptom of my MS and I'm already on medication for that.
00:28What if it isn't?
00:29What if it's something more serious?
00:33Why don't we wait and see how I feel after a cup of tea?
00:37No, Mom, we're not waiting.
00:39We're going to take care of this right now.
00:46Good morning, Phyllis.
00:47Oh, good morning.
00:49Hard at work, I see.
00:51Yes, it is work day.
00:53Yes, Lauren was up early working too.
00:56Which leads me to believe that nothing has changed regarding Summer's conglomerate.
01:02That is right.
01:04I mean, did I just imagine the conversation we had last night?
01:08You know, the one where you were beginning to understand that a strategic retreat would be in your best interest?
01:14Giving the company back to Victor, staying out of jail, I thought that's where we left things.
01:22We did.
01:24So why are you working so hard for a company that will no longer be yours?
01:28I changed my mind.
01:30Oh, okay.
01:32That doesn't surprise me.
01:34I realize that giving up my company is not my best strategy.
01:39It's your only strategy, Phyllis.
01:41Well, says you.
01:43No, I just, you know, it's not right.
01:47It's not what I want to do.
01:48I'm rethinking my position.
02:18It's not what I want to do.
02:28Victoria, put your phone down.
02:30What did you do?
02:31Mom, I have had these headaches before.
02:35They come, they go.
02:37I have learned to live with it.
02:40And the last thing I need right now is to see the inside of another doctor's office.
02:45I just hate seeing you suffer for no reason.
02:48I can give you plenty of reasons.
02:50My marriage is in tatters.
02:53The family company is gone.
02:55And my son almost died from a drug overdose.
02:58I think that would give anybody a little headache.
03:01So you really think it's the stress?
03:03Yes.
03:04Everywhere I go, there's a crisis.
03:07This past year has been one battle after another.
03:10But I'm willing to bet you that when all of these issues are resolved, my headaches are going to be
03:17gone.
03:19Well, thank God Nick is getting the help that he needs, finally.
03:23And according to Dad, Phyllis is about to cave.
03:26So we'll be getting Newman Enterprises back, too.
03:30You know, sometimes I wonder if that were to happen.
03:36Victor and I could resolve our differences and be a couple again.
03:42Maybe he would finally relax and stop fighting the world.
03:47And maybe even remember how much we love each other.
03:52I am having a hard time understanding why you are once again on the fence about giving back the company.
04:00I don't want to.
04:01I don't want to give it back.
04:02I don't want to.
04:02Don't you understand?
04:03I work so hard for this.
04:05I work so hard.
04:06And regardless of whether I did it wrongfully or not, it doesn't matter.
04:11It doesn't matter at this point.
04:15If I give it back, I'm at square one.
04:19I'm begging for scraps from everybody in this town.
04:23You better believe that Victor will make sure that everybody closes the door in my face.
04:29Listen, he might not be.
04:30You just saved Victor's son.
04:34Look, he can be magnanimous when he wants to be.
04:38He won't be that way with me, Michael.
04:40He won't be.
04:41Okay.
04:42Okay.
04:42Then what's your end game here?
04:44You just want to, you know, prance the case into court?
04:47Because I can guarantee you a long, hard slog with no promise of success.
04:52Look, do the right thing.
04:53Do the smart thing.
04:55Just throw in the towel.
04:59Live to fight another day.
05:02I'm considering that.
05:04Fighting another day.
05:06Well, I am suggesting that you take that consideration and turn it into action.
05:12Get on with your life.
05:15Yeah, but see, the problem about that is my life is in the hands of a man I don't trust
05:24and a woman I do not trust with anything.
05:27I really think Christine can be fair.
05:33Are you kidding me right now?
05:35She's been waiting to do this to me her entire life.
05:39She will be dancing on my grave.
05:42You know, and hey, what if I gave the company back to Victor?
05:46Who's to say that he won't go after me anyway?
05:50Okay.
05:51All right.
05:52In that scenario, what do you need?
05:59If I gave the company back.
06:01I'm saying if.
06:02All right.
06:02I'm just saying if.
06:03Okay.
06:04But if I were to do that, Christine would have to drop all of the charges.
06:10And that is including bogus charges that she comes up with and Victor comes up with or Nick comes up
06:18with.
06:20For me to walk away from this company.
06:24I would have to know that I am walking away free and clear.
06:31I'm happy to see that you're at least hopeful about getting back together with daddy.
06:36Well, I wouldn't go that far.
06:38Well, it's more something that I think about when I can't sleep at night.
06:44Just a distraction from the reality that my marriage is most likely over.
06:50Mom, that's not true.
06:52No?
06:54The proof is in that room I'm living in upstairs.
06:57I hate hearing you talk like this.
06:59Well, I don't like it either, but it's the truth.
07:01And I know that the reason for dad's behavior is because of everything that he has lost.
07:06And that includes you.
07:08No.
07:08He didn't lose me.
07:11His behavior became intolerable.
07:13And when I called him on it, that was it as far as he was concerned.
07:17Okay, look.
07:18You and dad have had issues.
07:21Issues that have seemed insurmountable.
07:23But you've always found your way back to one another.
07:26Stronger and more in love than ever.
07:29I am willing to bet that when daddy gets the company back, that door's going to open again.
07:36You mean if he gets it back?
07:38He's fairly certain that Phyllis is going to give everything up.
07:41Yeah, well, I would hate to wager my future on anything Phyllis Summers if she's coming to me.
07:50Phyllis, I hate to break this to you, but I don't think Victor's going to say anything to Christine unless
07:56he gets his company back first.
07:59And you don't see that as a problem for me.
08:02I'm saying it's your situation.
08:04I'm not saying it's a good one.
08:05So, um, I'm supposed to trust the most untrustworthy man in town to get me off the hook with Christine.
08:14Christine, a woman who wants to see me burn at the stake.
08:17That's my situation.
08:18I don't think Christine's trying to get you the way you think.
08:22Okay.
08:23Your life isn't on the line right now, Michael.
08:27You're forgetting about Nick.
08:29What about Nick?
08:30He said he would take care of you if you did this.
08:34I know.
08:34We made a deal.
08:35We made a deal.
08:36And I even saved his life.
08:37Wow.
08:38What did he do?
08:39He betrayed me.
08:40No, he's trying to end the nightmare for everyone.
08:42He's not including you, Phyllis.
08:44He's doing his father's bidding.
08:47May I make a suggestion?
08:49Well, I know what it is.
08:51Take the deal, right?
08:53Yes.
08:53Yes.
08:54But also stop painting yourself as a victim because that's not what you are.
08:58You made a high stakes power play.
09:02It just happened to be a little bit shady and it didn't work out.
09:06So all I'm doing is trying to convince you to take the one option you still have left
09:10that does not include an orange jumpsuit.
09:15So, just help me a little bit, huh?
09:18Please, Phyllis.
09:22I can't stand Phyllis.
09:24No, I'm no fan of hers either, but she did help save Nicholas's life.
09:29I know.
09:30And I wish I could say that it doesn't make up for the rest of the damage that she's caused.
09:35But it does.
09:37It does.
09:39But I can still hate her, though, right?
09:42Me, my guest.
09:44Hey, sorry I'm late.
09:47Hi.
09:48Hey, Mom.
09:49Um, we're just finishing up breakfast.
09:51Do you want to order something?
09:52Oh, no.
09:53I'm just going to finish Vic's fruit.
09:55Go right ahead.
09:59Thanks.
10:00You seem like you're in a good mood.
10:02Yeah.
10:03You know, I just, um, had my first session at the rehab clinic.
10:07Oh, terrific.
10:08How did it go?
10:09It was great.
10:11Um, I know that it's not going to fix everything.
10:14It's one small step and a long process, but I'm committed to it with no shortcuts.
10:20We've heard all of this before.
10:22You know that you have a problem.
10:24You're doing what you can to fix it.
10:26Blah, blah, blah.
10:27And then you go out and take so much fentanyl that you almost die.
10:32So how do we know you're not lying this time?
10:39Hey, let's play a game.
10:40You pretend you're me.
10:41Pretend you're me.
10:42Okay?
10:43And you're faced with a really, really long prison sentence.
10:48And the only person in the world you have to rely on is Victor Newman.
10:55Go.
10:56What would you do?
10:57This is a ridiculous exercise.
10:58No, it's not.
11:00I mean, because you trust him.
11:02Right?
11:04Even though he's banished you from the kingdom so many times just for disagreeing with him.
11:11Victor and I have a complicated relationship.
11:13Yes, you do.
11:14You certainly do.
11:15Okay, so you wouldn't trust him.
11:18That's what you're saying.
11:19Look, it's like you said.
11:20It's your life on the line, not mine.
11:22And you know what?
11:23I would have returned that company to him weeks ago.
11:25You know what?
11:25That's wrong.
11:26I would never have stolen it from him to begin with.
11:29Yeah, but you see, I did.
11:31I've stolen it from him.
11:33And he will hold that against me for the rest of my life.
11:36So, do you understand?
11:38Either way, I've lost.
11:40I'm going to say it again.
11:42Nick will not allow Victor to do that.
11:45Sure, sure.
11:46Nick's on my side.
11:47That's for sure.
11:48I've realized he's just one of them.
11:51And the sooner, the sooner I accept it, the better.
11:57Phyllis.
11:58I'm not changing my mind.
11:59I'm not doing it.
12:00Okay?
12:02Michael, I need his chances.
12:05Victor and Christine have to make sure those charges are dropped against me.
12:11And I need, I need it in writing.
12:13Do you understand?
12:15And then, and only then, will I even consider giving back my company.
12:27Look, I get it, Vic.
12:29I can understand why it's so hard to believe me.
12:31Would anyone, Nick, after what you just put us all through?
12:36Look, I messed up.
12:37I let the drugs take control of my life.
12:40I really thought I could...
12:41And you realize that you had no control.
12:43That is when it hits the hardest.
12:46That's when you know you need to ask for help.
12:49I'm doing that.
12:50I'm making sobriety my priority.
12:53Well, I'm happy to hear that, but just know it's not going to be an easy road.
12:58I know, Mom.
12:58Some days you're going to feel on top of the world.
13:01And other days you're going to want to pull the blankets up over your face and shut that world out.
13:08But that's when you have to reach out to me, to a sponsor.
13:13And Jack has offered to help.
13:15He did?
13:16Yes.
13:17His issues with your father have nothing to do with you or your addiction.
13:21And he has been there.
13:23He can help you.
13:26I would suggest you take him up on it.
13:29Yeah, I will.
13:32I'm really sorry I let you both down.
13:36And for scaring you, but...
13:38Honestly, I'm feeling really positive right now.
13:43And not just about me, but for our family situation.
13:47Does that mean you've spoken to Phyllis?
13:49I have.
13:50I let her know that she either gives us our company back or Christine's going to throw the book at
13:55her.
13:55That must have been difficult, considering.
13:58Yeah, I mean, she saved my life.
14:00Along with Matt Clark, of all people.
14:02But that does not absolve the past.
14:04This thing with Phyllis has gone on far too long.
14:08She's out of options.
14:09I've taken them all away from her.
14:10Now, with Phyllis, you never know.
14:13She knows, Mom.
14:15It's game over.
14:18If you need to see Christine and Victor make their promises in person, we need to go make that happen.
14:24What are you talking about?
14:26Now?
14:26Seriously?
14:27What's the matter with now?
14:28You mean we?
14:30Us?
14:31Yeah.
14:32Isn't that what it usually means?
14:34I fired you.
14:35Yeah, you did.
14:37Egregiously, rudely, stupidly, because you always believe that you know more than I do.
14:42Well, I mean, sometimes I do.
14:47Not this time, because I am the master of keeping people out of prison.
14:52So, let's go.
14:54Go, Phyllis.
14:55Wait a second.
15:03Thank you for not quitting on me.
15:06You don't make it easy.
15:09Why do you know that?
15:16We're friends.
15:17Yeah, we're friends.
15:18We're always friends.
15:19Yeah.
15:23All right, come on.
15:48When you told me you were coming over,
15:52you didn't mention anything about bringing Phyllis and Christine.
15:58What's this all about?
16:00I hope you're here to take me up on my offer.
16:04Well, it's up to Phyllis to clarify why we've come and why we've asked Christine to join us.
16:09I'm as in the dark about this as you are, so this better be good.
16:14Phyllis?
16:14Tell her you set me up.
16:17She's sweet.
16:18Tell her you set me up.
16:21That all those emails incriminating me are fake.
16:25And that you forced my hand.
16:27Please tell her.
16:28Why the hell would I do that?
16:31I'll give it all back.
16:33Give what back?
16:35Newman Enterprise is Victor.
16:38I will give it back.
16:40All the charges have to be dropped.
16:44Look, if you knew Newman Enterprise is back.
16:47You won.
17:00Hi.
17:01Hi.
17:03Hi.
17:04Sorry I'm late.
17:05I was dropping Connor off at the batting cages.
17:08Did he tell you his team voted him a captain of the summer travel league?
17:13No kidding.
17:14Let him tell you, it's so exciting.
17:18Oh my gosh.
17:19He was beaming.
17:21All of his friends approached him with high fives.
17:23Adam, I almost cried.
17:26Oh, thank you for this.
17:27Oh.
17:28To think about the progress our son has made in one short year.
17:32I mean, he signed himself up for a summer baseball league without even discussing it with us.
17:37That's huge.
17:39And he made honor roll for the first time.
17:41And he has his first girlfriend, which is exciting yet also terrifying.
17:45Oh, boy has come a long way.
17:48He's made such strides.
17:50Which I think is a result of our awesome parenting.
17:55We are pretty great parents.
17:58If we do say so ourselves.
18:01I have to wonder, since we have done such a great job with Connor,
18:07if you've thought about having another child.
18:13Victor, what are you waiting for?
18:16What are you waiting for?
18:19Please tell Christine that all the emails implicating me and Cain and the theft of Newman Enterprises were fabricated and
18:30you forced my hand.
18:33Okay, well, I'm not giving you back Newman Enterprises until you do it.
18:37I'm not.
18:38Not until the charges are dropped.
18:40So why don't you put all of us out of our misery, including myself?
18:45Let me make something perfectly clear.
18:47I have not agreed to drop any charges.
18:50I haven't agreed and I won't be extorted into doing so, no matter what Victor or anyone else has to
18:57say.
18:57So unless someone can give me a pretty compelling reason to close this case, the charges against Phyllis still stand
19:03and I will see you all in court.
19:12A baby?
19:15That is not what I thought you were going to say.
19:18Well, the thought caught me a little off guard, too.
19:24But I mean, it's not that out there of a question, is it?
19:31Uh, I guess not.
19:34Imagine what it would be like to have another baby that we can guide into becoming a remarkable human.
19:41You know, with the insight and wisdom we have from Connor, getting him over the hurdles?
19:47We'd be unstoppable.
19:51You've really thought a lot about this.
19:53No, I mean, not really.
19:56But I mean, how great would it be if we had girls this time?
20:01I mean, I just think being pregnant again would...
20:07Wait, is this about Sally?
20:11Are you suddenly thinking about having another baby with me because she's having a baby with Billy?
20:16No.
20:17They may be hearing it planted a seed, but I'm not even 100% sure this is a good idea.
20:24I just, I wanted to know what you thought about it.
20:31Oh, wow.
20:32Here comes a buy-the-book lecture.
20:33Watch it.
20:34Extortion?
20:35Seriously, Christine?
20:36Isn't that a little extreme?
20:38When has it been called extortion to do the right thing?
20:43It wouldn't be extortion if Victor admits that the evidence was fabricated.
20:48If that happens, then the case against Phyllis would fall apart through no fault of your own.
20:52And your reputation and your conscience would be unaffected.
20:58Yeah, Victor, I thought you were all hot and heavy to put your portrait back up on the wall.
21:02That's only going to happen if you come clean.
21:04If I were to admit that I've fabricated those emails, I could be held liable for falsifying information.
21:14Well, Victor, under normal circumstances, that would be a very good possibility.
21:19But I'm hoping our new district attorney would be willing to waive such a minor offense.
21:24Minor only in the grand scheme.
21:26So you're expecting me to dismiss not only potentially false claims, but actual crimes as well?
21:31I believe that Phyllis came here in good faith.
21:35And we would all like to put this situation behind us without anyone going behind bars.
21:40But that's not what your sister and father said to me when they came to me with the evidence.
21:44Yeah, I understand.
21:45But this constant infighting has taken its toll on everyone.
21:50Well, Phyllis and I, we share a daughter.
21:52And for her sake and for the sake of our very long friendship,
21:56I just think we want to bury the hatchet once and for all.
22:00Just like that.
22:02Just like that.
22:04Look, I don't know if you know this, but recently I almost died.
22:08And Phyllis helped save my life.
22:11In that moment, I think we were all reminded about what really matters in life.
22:16Weren't we, Dad?
22:19I shall not implicate myself for taking back what is rightfully mine.
22:26And I shall not give you back your company until the charges are dropped.
22:32Dad, Phyllis is willing to give a little.
22:36You need to give a little too.
22:38Just tell Christine about the emails, then the charges will be dropped.
22:42Wait, I haven't committed to dropping any charges.
22:47But I do need you to be honest with me.
22:50Did you or did you not fabricate the evidence?
23:00Everything you just said about us being better parents than we even expected
23:05and having more than enough love to give another child.
23:09That's all true.
23:13Becoming Hunter's mom was the best thing that ever happened to me.
23:17And I'm grateful for Johnny, too.
23:18And I'm happy he's home for the summer at the ranch.
23:21I'm so proud of the young man he's become.
23:29All that being said, I have to be honest.
23:35I don't think I want to go through another pregnancy.
23:40I think I'd just rather focus all of that energy on Connor, you know,
23:44and keeping him healthy and happy, especially considering his condition.
23:54I don't want to squash your dreams of having another child.
23:59I just I don't want to pretend to be behind something that I'm that I'm not,
24:04you know, at least not right now.
24:08You have every right to feel that way.
24:13And I have absolutely no problem at all with us putting our attention fully on Connor.
24:20Look, if we never had another child again, what we have with Connor will always be enough for me.
24:30Do you mean that?
24:32I do.
24:35And I'm not saying that I wanted you to get pregnant again.
24:38And I just I was just thinking.
24:43I saw the look on your face when I mentioned it.
24:46I shouldn't have dropped it on you like that.
24:49If I made you uncomfortable, I'm sorry.
24:52If I did, you have to tell me.
24:59Victor, please tell Christine the truth already.
25:03Victor, please consider everything Phyllis is willing to give up in exchange for one simple admission.
25:09That's all it takes to get back what you lost.
25:12Get back what was stolen from me.
25:15Yeah, OK, fine.
25:16Look, Phyllis is standing here, hat in hand, ready to rectify that.
25:20All she asks is that the charges against her be dropped and she'd be free to go.
25:29What's going on here?
25:31Phyllis and Michael asked Christine to meet them here.
25:34They want to make a deal.
25:37What kind of deal?
25:38Dad admits the truth about the emails.
25:41Christine drops the charges.
25:42Phyllis gives us back our company.
25:45What have you said so far, Daddy?
25:48Mm-hmm.
25:49When Victoria handed over the emails, you were both adamant they were legitimate.
25:54My forensics team agreed.
25:57And now you want me to believe that you actually did fabricate them in a way that couldn't be proven?
26:04Victor, if that's what happened, I need to hear that from you.
26:16I'm not at all uncomfortable.
26:19It only confirms what I already suspected, that the news of Sally's pregnancy affected you more than you wanted to
26:25let on.
26:27That wasn't it at all.
26:31The thought of having another child had occurred to me because we were talking about Connor and what a great
26:36job we'd done with him.
26:37Adam, I know you're worried about how admitting that you were unsettled about Sally's pregnancy would hurt me.
26:46But it doesn't.
26:48I get it.
26:49I understand.
26:54I don't know if unsettled is the right word.
27:00Adam, it had an impact.
27:03And you've been really quiet since you found out.
27:06I've been trying to give you space, time to process everything, especially in regards to Ava.
27:15I know that she's who you were thinking of when you talked about having another little girl.
27:22And Adam, I just feel like you're triggered.
27:31And if you don't share those emotions, things are just going to fester.
27:36Maybe more than you realize.
27:46Do you have anything to say?
27:48Mm-mm.
27:52I'll see you all in court.
27:53All right, talk to your dad, please, Nick.
27:54Dad, I know you want this to be over like the rest of us.
27:59Christine?
28:04I did what I felt was necessary to take back what was stolen from me.
28:11What you felt was necessary?
28:14The fact that you and your family would use me to play your corporate power games is infuriating.
28:22And I'm angry with myself.
28:23I should have trusted my initial instinct that Phyllis would never be so careless to put her plan in writing.
28:28I think that's a compliment.
28:29I'm also angry with myself because I trusted you and Victoria to tell me the truth.
28:34I won't make that mistake again.
28:37You're not taking into account that gravity of a bush stolen from me.
28:42Can you prove without the fabricated emails that Phyllis stole Newman Enterprises?
28:50No, I cannot.
28:53Can you prove without the evidence that the emails were fabricated?
28:57Once you agree to drop all the charges against Phyllis, I'll provide all the evidence you need.
29:08Seems like I have no choice.
29:26We'll have the paperwork stating the ownership of Newman Enterprises has been restored to you, signed and delivered within the
29:33hour.
29:33You'll have the paperwork.
29:49You are.
29:55I'm okay.
29:57Really.
30:00But yes, hearing that Sally was pregnant did.
30:04Open up some old wounds.
30:07You know, part of my heart that I had locked away, where Ava lives.
30:16I might not have known my daughter in this life, but I very much know the daughter that's in my
30:20heart.
30:23I, um, I talk to her sometimes.
30:28I don't know if I've ever told you that.
30:30No, you haven't.
30:31I know you think of her often, and I know she's always with you.
30:34Yeah, sometimes I can almost hear her voice.
30:39Hear her talking back to me, her laugh.
30:43Oh, is that crazy?
30:45No, Adam, that's beautiful.
30:49So, yes, you know, hearing that Sally was pregnant did bring that all back.
30:54But I know that I can't bring Ava back.
30:57And that is not what I was trying to do.
31:02And I was asking you what you thought about having another child.
31:18Dad, everything all right?
31:20Come to the ranch, son.
31:23It's important.
31:24I'm with Chelsea right now.
31:26You bring her along.
31:28She needs to hear this, too.
31:32So I suppose it's too early to say you did the right thing?
31:35Right for everyone but me.
31:37Huh.
31:39Do you remember what I said before about freedom being the most important outcome?
31:43Well, you have that now.
31:45How am I going to explain this to Lauren?
31:50I failed her.
31:52No, no, Lauren will understand.
31:53In fact, she may be relieved.
31:55I mean, she has been in agony, worried about how this ordeal may be affecting you.
32:02So, you know, now we can all breathe.
32:05You can breathe.
32:07Please, you haven't just lost everything.
32:13Don't get carried away.
32:15You didn't lose everything.
32:16I did.
32:17I just lose everything.
32:20Everything I worked so hard for.
32:23It's all gone.
32:24Poof.
32:26Nowhere to be found.
32:28I'm the same struggling woman I was before.
32:31Except now, I don't have my children at all.
32:38My life sucks.
32:40Okay.
32:41All right.
32:42I won't deny this is a low point.
32:44It's rock bottom.
32:47Okay, you've got to stop describing yourself in such a sad light.
32:53What is it you said to me?
32:54You said that you had played a dangerous game with the big boys and you won.
33:00That's not nothing, kiddo.
33:02I won.
33:04Yeah, I won.
33:06Then I lost.
33:08You know, I'm not going to just sit around and allow you to wallow in self-pity.
33:12Yes, this has been a body blow.
33:14A big one.
33:15But life would have been much worse if you'd been sent to prison.
33:18And as for your kids, what you did today was what they've been begging you to do for months.
33:23So, look, I think you're all going to find your way back to each other and everyone will forgive everybody
33:28else.
33:51That was legal.
33:53Transfer of ownership papers just came through.
33:57We should make a toast.
33:59We should.
34:00You do the honors, Victoria.
34:02Oh, all right.
34:05Well, I think that I speak for all of us when I say that we have all been dreaming of
34:12this moment since we got the news that we lost the company.
34:16And, yeah, there have been some pretty bleak times and some twists and some turns.
34:22But that's over now thanks to one person who never gave up and he never faltered.
34:31To Dad.
34:33Dad.
34:36The rightful owner of Newman Enterprises.
34:40A great CEO.
34:42And a better father.
34:44The pops.
34:46All of you.
34:52Your loyalty and your support.
34:57And everything to me.
34:59This was one of the most difficult times ever gone through.
35:06Newman Enterprises is back.
35:09What belongs.
35:12Strength to them.
35:20Don't push it.
35:22Dr. Christine wouldn't be happy when she found out she'd been played.
35:25So she's in no mood to be reminded.
35:27You know what?
35:27Too bad.
35:28Too bad.
35:31Hey, I have nothing to save you.
35:33I'm sure you don't.
35:34You could have saved yourself a lot of trouble by believing me when I told you those emails were fake.
35:40But you couldn't even conceive that I would be telling the truth.
35:45Right?
35:46Even though I was from the beginning.
35:50I don't need a lecture for you.
35:52You know what?
35:53Too bad.
35:54You're going to get one.
35:58You did what everybody in this town does.
36:01Deferred to Victor.
36:04And by doing that, you pulled me through the most humiliating, painful experience of my life.
36:11And I'm sure you felt great joy over this, didn't you?
36:15Are you done?
36:16No, I am not.
36:18You know what you did?
36:22You just showed everybody that you are Victor's puppet.
36:25And that's all you are.
36:28The only joy I get out of this is seeing your first case as Genoa City's DA blew up in
36:38your face.
36:39Oh, I get so much joy.
36:41You showed everybody in the world that you are a big flop.
36:46And that makes me happy.
36:54Thank you for everything you did.
36:58Keep my spirits up.
37:01Although I know you were worried.
37:05I didn't want you to lose hope.
37:08I never did.
37:14You know, Dad, as wonderful as the celebration is, I think you and I both know that there's someone missing.
37:22It's just not the same.
37:26Now not to be able to share this victory with Mom.
37:31Come on.
37:32What do you say?
37:34With this whole nightmare behind us, don't you think there's a way that you and Mom might be able to
37:38find your way back to one another?
37:41See you next time.
37:43See you next time.
37:44Bye-bye.
37:47Bye-bye.
37:50Good-bye.
