00:00I'll see you next time
00:30I'm gonna sin for Chanel's and my things
00:53Because I want nothing more to do with you
00:55You're dead
00:56To me
01:00What are you doing?
01:26Hey babe, have you seen my gold watch?
01:32I want to wear it for my second first day at Titan DiMera
01:35Um, check that box over there
01:38I think that there's still a few things packed from when we thought we were moving in with my mom and Abe
01:43What's this?
01:47Oh, uh, nothing, just put it back
01:49Uh-oh, did somebody get me a super early birthday present?
01:53Johnny, please, stop it
01:55Come on, let me open it
01:56No, it isn't a birthday present
01:59Hey, it was supposed to be your first father's day gig
02:04Hello, Sarah
02:21Kate, I'm sorry, but there's nothing more that I can do
02:35Look, Philip said on record that Xander was not the person who assaulted him
02:39We had to drop the charges
02:40Okay, well, if you're so sure that Philip is lying
02:45Then you'll have to be the one to get him to retract his statement
02:47Until then, our hands are tied
02:49Hello?
02:52Kate?
02:57At time?
02:58Thank you for this
03:08A person can only stomach so much hospital food
03:10Well, you can thank me by going over your statement again
03:16Belle, I already told Commissioner Hunter everything I remember about the incident
03:22I'm not sure how else I can help
03:24Well, you can start by not calling it an incident
03:27This was a brutal assault, Philip
03:29Yeah, I'm the DA, but I am also your friend
03:32And I want to help you get justice
03:34And I appreciate that
03:37But it's like I said in my statement
03:38I was at the Salomon
03:40Someone knocked on my door
03:42I went to open it
03:43And I got a fist in my face
03:45So, some random person that you've never seen before
03:50Just punched you in the face
03:52Correct
03:53Never seen him before in my life
03:54Well, I just have a really hard time understanding why a complete stranger would do that
04:00And I don't think that theft was a motive
04:03Since the police report says that your laptop was left untouched
04:07As was your wallet with all of your cash and cards
04:09Who knows?
04:13Maybe the guy thought I was sleeping with his wife and burst into the wrong room
04:17There are a lot of crazy people out there
04:20Yeah
04:21Yep, and I'd have to be one of them if I were to believe one word coming out of your mouth
04:26Like sands through the hourglass
04:37So are the days of our lives
04:40Whatever this is, it's gonna have to wait
04:53I'm very busy
04:53I checked your schedule
04:55Will you have a couple of minutes before your next patient?
05:02What do you want?
05:04I just thought you'd like to know that I've been fully exonerated
05:06The police have dropped all charges against me for Philip's assault
05:09Yes, I know
05:10I was there when Philip gave a statement to Jada
05:14Is there anything else?
05:19Well, I suppose an apology is out of the question then
05:22You were dead wrong when you assumed that I was guilty of that horrendous crime
05:32I am not going to apologize to you
05:34Because I was not wrong
05:36You heard it yourself
05:39Philip said
05:41On record that I'm not the one who attacked you
05:43Yes, but you never said it
05:44You never said it, Xander
05:48And all the times that I have asked you about it
05:51You have never given a direct answer
05:53What possible reason would Philip have to lie?
05:56No, I don't know
05:57I don't know
05:57Maybe
05:58Maybe it's because if he says that you were the one that nearly beat him to death
06:05Then he would have to explain why
06:07And then the truth about Vivian forging Victor's letter would come out
06:11And then Philip would stand to lose half his stake in the company
06:14Am I warm?
06:18So
06:18As far as I'm concerned
06:20Your so-called exoneration
06:23Doesn't change a damn thing
06:27Philip, this is me you're talking to
06:32Do I have to remind you that I have intel that the Salem PD doesn't have?
06:38That I know why Xander is gunning for you
06:40Because he knows that Vivian helped you steal half of his inheritance?
06:44And to make matters worse
06:46Then he has to put on a smile and work with you every day as co-CEOs
06:50To make sure this Titan-Dimera merger doesn't fall apart
06:53I mean, if that's not motive, I don't know what is
06:56Except it wasn't Xander
06:59He didn't attack me
07:01Well, could he have hired someone to do the job?
07:06If he did, I doubt you'll be able to prove it
07:08Well, it certainly seems to be what you want
07:11I mean, why are you covering for him?
07:14I'm not covering it
07:15Did he threaten you?
07:17Did he say that he would keep quiet about what you did to him
07:22If you kept quiet about him beating you to a pulp?
07:26Oh, God, Philip
07:28If I'm right about that
07:30What's gonna keep him from reneging?
07:32What if he decides he wants to go
07:34Tie up loose ends and finish you off?
07:38God, Philip, talk to me
07:40I cannot lose another person that I care about
07:44What?
07:46Who else did you lose?
08:04I'm sorry I can't be around any more death right now
08:08I'm sorry I can't be around any more death right now
08:14I can't believe it
08:16I can't believe it
08:16I have a transition right now
08:17I can't believe it
08:19I can't believe it
08:20I can't believe it
08:22Grряf
08:23I can't believe it
08:25Good
08:25No
08:27Great
08:27No
08:28No
08:30No
08:30No
08:31No
08:31No
08:32No
08:33No
08:33No
08:34No
08:34No
08:34No
08:34No
08:35No
08:35No
08:36No
08:37No
09:37I, uh, bought this for you a few months ago, back when I thought that we were going to adopt Sophia and Tate's baby.
09:48And I know that I probably should have donated it, but I thought that maybe someday...
09:56Okay.
09:57Keep it.
09:58Okay?
09:59I promise you, there will be a someday.
10:04Okay.
10:05Okay.
10:06Okay.
10:07Okay.
10:08Until then, hands off.
10:10Okay.
10:11And...
10:12Thanks.
10:13Look.
10:14Okay.
10:15Look.
10:16Well, this is your cold watch.
10:18Hey!
10:19What do you know?
10:20And now you are ready for a great day.
10:24Tell you what, I would be even more ready if you joined me for some pre-work pancakes.
10:30Ready, pup?
10:31I'm sorry, but I have to get to work at Sweet Bits.
10:36Okay.
10:37Okay.
10:38Brain check.
10:40Yeah.
10:41But, I do hope that you have a wonderful second first step.
10:46I will.
10:47Okay.
10:48Hey, Felicity.
10:49I just wanted to remind you that I won't be into Sweet Bits until a bit later today.
11:09I have something important to take care of first.
11:13Thanks.
11:14Thanks.
11:15Thanks.
11:28Oh, my God, Belle.
11:30I had no idea John died.
11:33I'm so sorry.
11:35Bo and Hope visited me before they left town, and they told me about the miracle drug Bo had gotten, but they didn't mention your dad.
11:43Yeah.
11:44Well, they probably didn't want to burden you while you're healing.
11:48Damn it.
11:49If only I had just done what I was supposed to do.
11:51Meet at the designated spot to get the drug from Kevin.
11:53Phillip, Phillip, this is not your fault.
11:55It's not your fault that you were beat up.
11:57And it's not your fault that Kevin decided to give that drug to his meth addict roommate.
12:02But it is my fault that I brought Kevin into this in the first place, though.
12:05I took a huge leap to get back into Xander's good graces and look what happened.
12:10My God.
12:11This was all just a terrible accident.
12:16But what happened to you was not.
12:19That was a premeditated, brutal assault, Phillip.
12:22There is no justice to be had for my dad, but there is for you.
12:29I just need your help so I can go get it.
12:36I'm sorry.
12:37I've told you everything I remember.
12:41I know you, Phillip.
12:43And I know you're lying.
12:45And I'm not going to give up until I prove it.
12:57Sorry to burst your bubble.
12:58If you thought this revelation of yours was going to change things between us, then you are sadly mistaken.
13:04Are you being serious?
13:08You think my intention was to get back together with you?
13:11Become loving husband and wife again?
13:13Let me make something perfectly clear.
13:15Love.
13:16After what you did, I can never trust you again.
13:20The feeling is very mutual.
13:25Are we done?
13:26On the contrary.
13:29I only brought up my exoneration because it changes things a little bit regarding our custody arrangements.
13:34The arrangement with Victoria.
13:35You agreed to supervise business.
13:36That was when I had no other options.
13:38But now that I've been cleared of all wrongdoing, I want shared custody 50-50.
13:42Absolutely not.
13:44I will never agree to that.
13:50Then we'll have to do this the hard way.
13:52I can come back later if you're busy.
14:06No, no, it's okay.
14:07And I'm so sorry.
14:08I haven't had a chance to call you back.
14:10No worries.
14:11Heard you had your hands full.
14:12Yeah.
14:13It's been pretty crazy around here.
14:19How are you?
14:20How was FBI training?
14:22Great.
14:23Yeah.
14:24I missed it.
14:26Excited to get back in the field.
14:29Have you got your excitement yet?
14:31Yeah.
14:32Yeah.
14:33I'm actually going to be working through the Chicago office, so I don't even have to leave Salem.
14:38Oh, that's wonderful, Rave.
14:40I am so happy for you.
14:41Yeah.
14:44So, um, what do you want to talk to me about?
14:47Well, I actually have information about one of your open investigations.
14:53Really?
14:55Which one?
14:56Shooting a Vijay DiMera.
15:07Hi, son.
15:08Um...
15:09May I come in?
15:10I'm actually on my way out.
15:11Headed to the office.
15:12Ah, you're still planning to work for Xander?
15:13I am.
15:14And I'm not in the mood to hear a lecture from you about it.
15:15That's just not why I'm here, Johnny.
15:17I just wanted to tell you that I'm sorry.
15:19Mama?
15:20What's going on?
15:21What are you doing here?
15:22Oh, is everything okay?
15:23Yeah.
15:24Hey, honey.
15:25I'm fine.
15:26I just came in for my yearly physical.
15:27Had some blood drawn.
15:28Oh, no.
15:29Oh, no.
15:30Oh, no.
15:31Oh, no.
15:32Oh, no.
15:33Oh, no.
15:34Oh, no.
15:35Oh, no.
15:36Oh, no.
15:37Oh, no.
15:38Oh, no.
15:39Oh, no.
15:40Oh, no.
15:41Oh, no.
15:42Oh, no.
15:43Oh, no.
15:44Oh, no.
15:45Oh, no.
15:46Oh, no.
15:47Oh, no.
15:48Okay.
15:49Uh, well, I guess that's not an ideal way to spend your anniversary.
15:55Oh.
15:56Congratulations.
15:57Oh, thank you, baby.
15:58Thank you, baby.
15:59But I've got a jam-packed day today, actually.
16:03After this, I've got to go speak after high school graduation.
16:06Then later, Ava and I are going to celebrate with a nice candlelit dinner.
16:10Just two.
16:11Three fantastic years of marriage, but also a my clean Bell of Hell.
16:16Oh, well, that... that is really good to hear.
16:19Well, enough about me. What about you, Missy?
16:22What are you doing here?
16:36You planted a camera in EJ's living room the night he was shot?
16:41Yeah.
16:42Yeah, I did. I wanted to make him pay for everything that he did.
16:46Kidnapping me, replacing me with Arnold Feniger,
16:49and completely destroying what you and I had together.
16:55Look, I just... I thought I could catch him in the act.
16:59You know, doing something incriminating I could use against him.
17:04Okay, and why am I hearing about this now?
17:07Well, honestly, because I thought I could handle it on my own.
17:10I mean, at least getting the memory card back.
17:13Like, but, um, it would appear as though I have exhausted all my resources,
17:19so you're hearing about it now.
17:21Okay, look, Rafe.
17:23I'm going to overlook the whole breaking and entering part of your story.
17:26Thanks.
17:27What we need to focus on is finding that missing memory card.
17:31I mean, for one thing,
17:32it may lead to something we can use against EJ for what he did to you.
17:36And for another, it can...
17:38Reveal who shot him.
17:38I assume that you're sorry about Grandpa John.
17:51That's what you mean.
17:52I'm sorry about a lot of things,
17:56but yes, the passing of your grandfather is one of them.
17:59I know how close you two were and how much you loved him.
18:02Yeah.
18:03He was a great man.
18:05Mm-hmm.
18:06And his legacy will carry...
18:10carry on through this family.
18:13Through you, especially, his namesake.
18:15I may be his namesake, but...
18:19I don't have a drop of his blood in me.
18:22Still,
18:23you're so much like him.
18:26Your kindness,
18:27your compassion,
18:28your innate goodness.
18:32I'm happy to say that you take after John
18:34more than you do after your own father.
18:37I don't know about that.
18:40We both know what I did that night.
18:45I dare say you were justified.
18:50Which brings me to another thing that I'm sorry about.
18:55I've been trying to force you to forgive me.
18:59But now I see that...
19:02that's just selfish of me.
19:06So I'm here to set you free, son.
19:10No more guilt.
19:12No more badgering.
19:13After tonight,
19:17you'll never have to see me again.
19:27There's nothing to worry about, okay?
19:29I'm just here
19:31for a follow-up appointment
19:33for the cancer surgery
19:34I had back in February.
19:36Oh, honey.
19:37Why did you tell me?
19:39Because you totally freaked out last time
19:41and I just...
19:41I didn't want to deal with that.
19:42Oh, okay.
19:43Well, why didn't you bring Johnny with you?
19:45Johnny doesn't know.
19:47All right?
19:47I don't want to give him
19:48one more thing to worry about.
19:50I thought you said
19:50there wasn't anything to worry about.
19:52Well, on the off chance, okay?
19:53That they find something.
19:56And I...
19:57I also wanted to ask
19:59Sarah if it was okay
20:01for us to start
20:02trying again
20:03for a baby.
20:05And I don't want Johnny
20:05to feel pressured.
20:06pressured or not, honey.
20:09This affects your husband, too.
20:12Chanel, in marriage,
20:13you share burdens.
20:15You do not keep secrets.
20:18Well, let's just see
20:19what Sarah says first, okay?
20:21And then we'll go from there.
20:23Anyway, my appointment is right now,
20:25so I should go.
20:27Oh, okay.
20:28You want me to come with it?
20:29No, no, um, but...
20:31Thank you, Mom.
20:45You're home early?
20:47Oh, hi.
20:47I, yeah, I, um...
20:49I've had a rough morning.
20:51I thought I would come
20:52decompress before...
20:55Oh, Mom.
20:55Well, now I'm really glad
20:59I came home.
21:12This is your dad's...
21:18favorite baseball cap.
21:22Yeah.
21:23I haven't seen that
21:25in a really long time.
21:30You know what?
21:31I think maybe I should
21:32just work remotely today, okay?
21:36No, no, you know what?
21:37I'll, I'll be fine.
21:39Um, you should take your break
21:41and then get on back to work.
21:43You've got really important
21:44things to do.
21:45Mom, there's nothing
21:46more important to me than you.
21:48I am here for you, okay?
21:51Anything you need.
21:53No, no.
22:04Xander, what's up?
22:09I just wanted to congratulate you
22:11on making the right decision.
22:13I understand you did keep
22:13my name out of it
22:14when you talked to the police.
22:16It's not like I had much of a choice
22:18after what happened.
22:18I don't know if I had much of a choice.
22:32I don't know if I had much of a choice.
22:32I don't know if I had much of a choice.
22:33Philip?
22:37Xander, what...
22:38Philip, listen to me carefully.
22:41The police are going to question you
22:43about what happened to this ailment.
22:44You attacked me.
22:47No.
22:48No, you're mistaken.
22:49It wasn't me.
22:51And if you say otherwise,
22:52you will lose your inheritance.
22:55And you're staking tight.
23:01I'm glad that you cooperated.
23:03You backed me into a corner.
23:07If I tell the cops the truth,
23:09you'll expose me for fraud
23:10and vice versa.
23:12Precisely.
23:14If we don't find a way
23:15to make this relationship work,
23:17we both stand to lose everything.
23:19You take such good care of me.
23:33And you of me.
23:35Every day since the day I was born.
23:38It was always my joy.
23:45Tell me how you're doing.
23:47Oh, well, you know,
23:50I'm just trying to stay busy
23:51and avoid all of the quiet moments.
24:00Yeah.
24:02Those quiet moments are the toughest, aren't they?
24:07What is, uh, what is E.J. up to?
24:10I imagine he's made himself pretty scared
24:12since I threw him out of here.
24:14Well, if I'm being honest,
24:17I think ever since the morning
24:21I heard about Dad,
24:23I've been having some second thoughts about E.J.
24:27And I told him that.
24:29And to his credit,
24:30he said he would give me some space
24:32while I try and work through it all.
24:36I see.
24:37I mean,
24:40I guess I've always been
24:41kind of conflicted
24:42about my relationship with E.J.,
24:44but
24:44after everything that happened,
24:47I just,
24:48I don't think Dad would
24:50want me to
24:51be seeing him,
24:53and
24:53you know,
24:54I want to honor that,
24:55so
24:55I guess I'm more conflicted than ever.
24:59I'm so sorry.
25:05You know,
25:06I have
25:06my own reservations
25:08about you and E.J.
25:13You have to do
25:14what you want.
25:18Doesn't matter what I want for you,
25:20doesn't even...
25:22Doesn't even matter
25:24what your dad wanted for you.
25:26Well, I guess
25:32you'd be here, right?
25:38One way or the other,
25:39I have to make up
25:40my own mind
25:41about E.J.
25:47So
25:47let me just make sure
25:50I got that.
25:52Are you saying
25:53that I'll never see you again?
25:56Your grandfather's death
25:59has made me take inventory
26:00of a lot of things,
26:01including how I've handled
26:02this situation.
26:07As much as I want
26:08to have a relationship
26:08with you,
26:10I won't force it
26:12at your expense
26:12when I know
26:15how much
26:16it's hurting you.
26:22So
26:22what,
26:24you're just willing to
26:25walk away
26:27for good?
26:35John Roman De Niro,
26:37I love you
26:40with all my heart.
26:42But sometimes loving
26:48someone means
26:49letting them go.
26:51So yes,
26:53for your sake,
26:55I'll never bother you again.
27:00And I will walk away
27:02for good.
27:02that is what you want,
27:10right?
27:11Right?
27:16Honestly,
27:17I don't know.
27:22I don't know.
27:23I'm happy to report
27:28that everything looks good.
27:31Yeah.
27:31I mean,
27:32just we have to wait
27:32on some further
27:33lab results,
27:35but your HCG levels
27:36are near normal.
27:38Oh,
27:38thank God.
27:40Okay,
27:41so does this mean
27:42what I think it means
27:43that Johnny and I
27:44can start trying again
27:45for a baby?
27:46Um,
27:50Chanel,
27:50I'm so sorry.
27:51I'm going to still
27:52advise you to wait.
27:55But why?
27:57Well,
27:58um,
27:59because
27:59if you got pregnant now,
28:02your HCG levels
28:03would change.
28:04And that would be
28:05hard for us
28:07to detect
28:07if there was
28:08a recurrence
28:08of the cancer.
28:10And I don't want
28:11to risk that.
28:13Oh,
28:14I see.
28:16And, um,
28:18how much longer
28:19would you advise
28:20that we wait?
28:24That's,
28:25that is hard to say.
28:26Um,
28:26it could be months,
28:28it could be
28:29longer.
28:33Okay.
28:35I'm so sorry.
28:37I know,
28:37I know that
28:37that isn't what
28:38you want to hear.
28:39Um,
28:40but
28:41if,
28:44if you do wait,
28:46it really is
28:47going to give you
28:47the best chance
28:48of having
28:48a healthy,
28:50successful pregnancy.
28:53It is what's best.
29:04So,
29:04how is this twisted
29:05quid pro quo
29:06supposed to work?
29:08We just pretend
29:09everything between us
29:09is hunky-dory?
29:11Well,
29:11I have to
29:11if we're going
29:12to work together.
29:13You want us
29:14to work together?
29:17I'm not sure
29:17I can do that.
29:18Well,
29:19maybe this will help.
29:24Philip,
29:24I am so sorry.
29:28Look,
29:28it's no secret
29:29that I was
29:29absolutely furious
29:30with you
29:31after I found out
29:32the truth
29:32of what you
29:32and Vivian did.
29:34And that anger
29:35just kept
29:35building
29:36and building.
29:38And then I was
29:39forced to work
29:39with you,
29:40forced to
29:41endure all
29:42your annoying
29:42habits.
29:45This is an apology.
29:46And then
29:46after Sarah
29:49almost died
29:50of anaphylactic shock
29:51that I found out
29:53you tanked
29:53the acquisition
29:54of the hospital
29:54and the drug.
29:55The screwing up
29:56the acquisition
29:56was not intentional.
29:58I know that now.
30:00But the time
30:01I just couldn't
30:03contain my rage
30:04any longer.
30:06And I did something
30:07I deeply regret.
30:16You actually
30:21seem sincere.
30:23I am.
30:27Well,
30:27in that case,
30:28I owe you
30:28an apology as well.
30:31Not only for
30:32trying to steal
30:32half of what
30:33was rightfully yours,
30:34but for what
30:35I did the day
30:36you attacked me.
30:37What you did?
30:40Because of my
30:41prosthetic leg,
30:43you were able
30:44to knock me
30:45off balance that day.
30:46I couldn't
30:47fight back physically,
30:48so I decided
30:50to use my words
30:50in a way I knew
30:51would hurt
30:52more than a punch.
30:54That's why
30:55I decided to tell you
30:56that Sarah knew
30:56about the forgery
30:57all along
30:58and kept it from you.
31:01If I had been
31:01fully in my
31:03right,
31:03right mind,
31:04I never would have...
31:05I'm glad that
31:05you told me.
31:09When I woke up,
31:10I sensed a whole lot
31:11of tension between
31:11you two.
31:13I'm assuming
31:14you confronted her
31:15about it.
31:15I did.
31:17But Sarah doesn't
31:17know that you
31:18were the one
31:18who exposed her
31:19lie,
31:19and she can
31:20never find out.
31:24Sarah's only
31:24been kind to me.
31:26I feel terrible
31:27that I betrayed her
31:27like that.
31:28Well, I'm afraid
31:29you're going to have
31:29to suck it up
31:30because no one
31:31can ever know.
31:32I came to your
31:33room that day.
31:34This must stay
31:35between us.
31:36Babel!
31:41Mama, I didn't
31:42expect you to
31:42still be here.
31:43Well, I couldn't
31:44leave until I
31:45found out how
31:45things went.
31:47So?
31:49Well, uh,
31:50the blood work
31:52results came back
31:53looking really good.
31:54Oh, praise God.
31:56Yeah.
31:57But, uh,
31:58Sarah doesn't think
31:59that Johnny and I
32:00should get pregnant
32:00again yet.
32:02Oh.
32:04Well,
32:05you had
32:05being the
32:06operative word.
32:07There's no reason
32:08you can't try
32:08down the road,
32:09right?
32:11Yeah.
32:12Yeah, possibly.
32:13But, I mean,
32:14considering that
32:15I've had a
32:16molar pregnancy
32:16in the past,
32:17that still means
32:19that there's
32:19always going to
32:20be a risk
32:20that I have
32:21another one.
32:23I see.
32:25And you,
32:26you still
32:28don't want
32:28to wait,
32:29do you?
32:30No.
32:33No.
32:33But, but the
32:34more I think
32:35about it,
32:36you know,
32:37I'm not sure
32:38that Johnny
32:38would have been
32:39totally on board
32:41even if Sarah
32:42had given us
32:43the go-ahead
32:44today.
32:45And, you know,
32:46he finding out
32:47everything that
32:47happened with
32:48EJ and Sammy,
32:49that really
32:50messes with
32:50Johnny's head.
32:51And as I told
32:52you, he's
32:53going to therapy,
32:54but I'm not
32:54sure how much
32:55that's actually
32:56helping.
32:56Oh, well,
32:59these things,
33:00they, you know,
33:00they take time.
33:02Yeah.
33:03Yeah.
33:04I'm just glad
33:05that Johnny
33:06is taking the
33:06steps to get
33:07EJ out of
33:08our lives.
33:09But, um,
33:11anyways, um,
33:12that is enough.
33:13EJ, talk for me.
33:14I, I gotta get
33:15to work,
33:16and, um,
33:16I will, uh,
33:18I'll call you,
33:18okay?
33:19All right.
33:20EJ, that man,
33:26he destroys
33:26everything he
33:27touches.
33:31What are you
33:32saying, Johnny?
33:34I thought you
33:35wanted to cut
33:35ties with me.
33:40Look.
33:44As much as
33:45I hate you
33:45for what you
33:47did to Mom,
33:48I can't
33:54deny
33:54that
33:56that
33:59what?
34:02That you've
34:03been a good
34:03dad.
34:07Not always.
34:09No.
34:11Not always.
34:14But I've
34:15always known
34:16that you
34:18care about
34:19me.
34:21That I'm
34:21important to
34:22you.
34:25I'd do
34:26anything for
34:26you, son.
34:27And, uh,
34:28after losing
34:29Grandpa John,
34:29after...
34:31I just...
34:33I just
34:35don't know
34:36if I can
34:37handle losing
34:38anybody else
34:39in my life.
34:43I understand.
34:46but please
34:48don't feel
34:48pressured to
34:49make a
34:49decision
34:49right away.
34:51Take your
34:52time and
34:52think it
34:53over.
34:54Okay?
34:56And I
34:57promise you,
34:58Johnny,
34:59I'll accept
35:01whatever your
35:02answer is.
35:06I appreciate
35:07that.
35:19I love you,
35:19son.
35:20Okay, so
35:35do you have
35:36any hunches
35:36as to who
35:37could have
35:37taken the
35:37memory card
35:38from your
35:38camera?
35:39Well, it
35:39seems likely
35:40that it was
35:41either someone
35:41in my household
35:42or the
35:42Damaris.
35:44Okay.
35:45Okay, let's
35:46run down the
35:46possibilities.
35:48Uh, starting
35:48at your house.
35:50Could it
35:50have been
35:51Gabby?
35:52I mean,
35:52JJ did
35:52question her
35:53about the
35:53shooting.
35:54She is
35:54definitely on
35:55our list of
35:56suspects.
35:56Yeah, it's
35:57not Gabby.
35:58No.
35:58She swore to
35:59me that it
35:59wasn't her,
36:00and, uh,
36:01she actually
36:02suspected that
36:03it was Leo
36:03Stark.
36:05Hmm.
36:06Leo Stark?
36:07Mm-hmm.
36:08What are
36:09your thoughts?
36:11My gut
36:11says no.
36:12Now, uh,
36:13he has made
36:14it very clear
36:14that he not
36:15only wants to
36:16solve the case,
36:16but write about
36:17it, and then
36:18win a Pulitzer.
36:20And I also
36:21discovered a
36:22secret suspect
36:23list that he
36:23had made,
36:24which informs
36:25me that he
36:26has not seen
36:27what's on the
36:27memory card.
36:29Okay.
36:30All right, so
36:30that rules him
36:31out.
36:32And it wasn't
36:33you.
36:34Uh, no,
36:35I would not
36:35be here if it
36:37were, Commissioner.
36:39Okay, so if it
36:39wasn't someone
36:40at your house
36:42who stole it
36:43when you brought
36:43the camera home,
36:44then it had to be
36:44someone at the
36:45mayor as who did
36:46between the time
36:47you planted the
36:48camera and the
36:49time you retrieved
36:49it.
36:52Thank you for
36:53the tea.
36:55You should get
36:56back to work
36:57now.
36:58Are you sure?
36:59I can stay a
37:00little longer.
37:01No, no, no.
37:02It's okay.
37:03I think I'm just
37:04gonna lie down
37:05for a while.
37:06Oh, Mom,
37:07are you okay?
37:07Yeah, I was just
37:11dizzy for a moment.
37:13I think I must have
37:14stood up too
37:15quickly.
37:16You know, I think
37:17that we should get
37:18you to the hospital
37:19and just get you
37:20checked out.
37:20No, no, darling,
37:21I'm fine.
37:22Are you sure?
37:24I am.
37:24Look, I'm
37:26perfectly fine.
37:26As I said, I think
37:27I just stood up
37:29too quickly.
37:30Okay, but if
37:32anything changes,
37:33I will call you
37:34right away.
37:36All right.
37:36Well, then I'll
37:37see you tonight.
37:38I'll see you
37:39tonight.
37:39I love you.
37:40Oh, darling, I
37:41I love you so.
37:51Okay.
38:06I love you.
38:07I love you.
38:15You're welcome.
38:17I love you.
38:26Okay.
38:27Oh, my God.
38:57Would you give me a call when you have a moment, please?
39:03Thanks.
39:12So, how are you feeling? Do you need anything?
39:15Get stronger by the day.
39:19Look, Philip, I don't want you to take this the wrong way, but there's something I've been meaning to ask you.
39:27Yeah.
39:30Xander found out that I knew about the forgery and kept it from him.
39:35Are you the one that told him that I knew?
39:39No.
39:40Oh, my God, Sarah, I'm so sorry. I can only imagine how he reacted. But no, it wasn't me who told him.
39:50Mayor Price, it's just the person I wanted to see. Do you have a minute to chat?
40:00Make it quick.
40:01I will.
40:01Well, I'm planning to contest the board's vote on the sale of the hospital. I think my false arrest influenced the outcome, and now that I've been cleared, I'm going to try again. Do you think I can count on Abe's support?
40:14Boy, you do not quit, do you?
40:17No, Xander, this is very important to me.
40:21No, Xander. Now, this is just business. What's important is family, your wife, your daughter. Try not to lose sight of that.
40:30I'm sorry, I'll be late. Uh, just there, there was an urgent matter that came up that, um, I had to deal with. Thanks. Yeah, I'll be there soon.
40:49Johnny, what are you doing home? Aren't you supposed to be at work?
40:52Yeah. I was on my way out the door, uh, when my dad stopped by, so. Oh.
40:59Got a little sidetracked.
41:01Well, what does EJ want from you now?
41:05Nothing. Actually, no, he said that, uh, he was going to set me free. That he was willing to walk away from my life forever.
41:17Oh. Well, that's, that's good news. Isn't it?
41:23Yeah, you know, I would have thought so. I would have thought so. Before my grandpa John died. But now, I, I don't know. I, you know, I don't know if I can lose anybody else in my life.
41:34Okay, but EJ, he's not John. He's hurt you in so many ways.
41:39I know that. Okay, I know that. But, I was talking to my grandma Marlena the other day, and I realized I don't like who I am when I'm this angry.
41:52I figured maybe I should take a cue out of my family's book and just find a way to let go of the past.
42:00We let my father back into my life.
42:01You're right. By the time I went back to the Dimiris to get the camera, someone must have removed the memory card, and I am kicking myself that I didn't check for it sooner.
42:16Hmm. They had to have been the shooter trying to cover their tracks.
42:20Which doesn't exactly narrow things down. You know, considering the amount of people that live at the mansion and the staff there, it's...
42:28It's a constant revolving door of guests. We're looking at like dozens of people in and out of that place every day.
42:34Yeah.
42:35But, this gives us a great starting point, at least.
42:39Yeah. Definitely feels like we're on the right track.
42:42Yeah. It does.
42:45You know, this kind of feels like, you know, old times, us bouncing ideas off of each other.
42:51Maybe that means that in the future, we can be friends?
42:56Hmm. Yeah. I'd like that.
42:59Thank you very much.
43:16Oh.
43:18This is a nice surprise. I thought you said you needed time to think things over.
43:23Well, I did. And, um, what I realized is that, well, despite all of my fear and confusion, I think I need to follow my heart.
43:40I love you, E.J.
43:44And I love you, too, Belle.
43:45Hmm.
43:46I love you, too.
43:50I love you.
43:55I love you, too.
43:55I love you, too, Belle.
43:57I love you, too.
43:59I love you, too.
