00:00Okay, so you were selected to be a juror in Johnny DeMira's trial. What's the big deal?

00:09The big deal is it's the scandal of the century, and now I can't cover it for the spectator.

00:15Okay, so you're not going to win your Pulitzer for trial coverage, but if this thing is as

00:20sensational as you think, then you'll have a front row seat, Leo. I mean,

00:25who better to write a tell-all book than you when it's all over?

00:30Wait, what if, after the trial, I write a book about it?

00:36Didn't I just say that?

00:38Oh, I guess. It just sounds way different coming from me.

00:42As it always does.

00:46But don't you want to do your civic duty?

00:48Not on my bucket list, no.

00:51Well, it should be.

00:54And speaking of your civic duty, there is a little guy here eagerly awaiting his Uncle

01:00Leo.

01:03Okay, let me just finish up here, and then I'll head home.

01:06In the meantime, give T a kiss for me.

01:10Why, Mrs. von Leuschner?

01:11What brings you to the square, looking so winsome in your stolen jewelry?

01:18Well, aren't you a laugh riot, Matty?

01:23Actually, I was headed over to the spectator office to pay a visit to my own stomping grounds.

01:28Oh.

01:30Feeling nostalgic, are we?

01:32Nostalgic?

01:33Curious.

01:34But now that you're here, perhaps you can fill me in on what's going on at that third-rate

01:40publication.

01:43Well, since you gave up your half of that first-rate publication, I'm happy to report

01:48that things are looking up.

01:49Cool.

01:50With you as their star journalist, please.

01:53Don't make me laugh.

01:55You know, that is just gratuitously unkind, as is your coming back to Salem for the sole

02:00purpose of flaunting that necklace in Julie's face.

02:01It's my necklace now, as I have told you before, and it is not my sole purpose for coming back

02:06here.

02:07Well, whatever your purpose is, you are absolutely giving off some vacuous, vindictive Real Housewives

02:12vibes.

02:13I don't get mad, I get even, right?

02:15Words to live by.

02:16Oh, yeah, you go, girl.

02:17Teach the people of Salem a lesson by taking some great-grandmother's necklace.

02:22You know, this necklace is just the appetizer.

02:27Well, I dread hearing what the main course is.

02:29In fact, I don't want to know.

02:31Really?

02:33The nosy little gossip queen scandal-monger of Salem doesn't want to know.

02:38Okay, let me qualify that.

02:40If it's illegal, I do want to know, because then I'm going to cover it and expose you.

02:46Let me tell you something, Maddy.

02:47I do have a full course planned with amuse-bouche and dessert, but I only intend on telling

02:55my most close and trustworthy friends, and not the lying wanker who blew up my marriage.

03:01Hey!

03:08Hey!

03:09Hey!

03:09You here to record my statement with Xander?

03:12Yeah, yeah.

03:13Uh, and again, thank you so much for pushing this to today.

03:16I really wanted to get it done before my trial starts tomorrow.

03:19Oh, wow.

03:22I didn't realize it was happening that soon.

03:25Have you spoken to HR about it?

03:26Yeah, I, uh, let them know I might need to miss a couple of weeks.

03:33Maybe more.

03:35Let's hope not.

03:35Look, Philip, I, I swear to you, I did not shoot my father, okay?

03:44I didn't, but if you feel like you need to fire me for PR reasons, I'll understand.

03:58So, um, do you want to go home now?

04:02To rest?

04:03Um, not yet.

04:07I'm not sure if anyone is at home and they'd rather not be alone.

04:11I, I understand.

04:13Yeah.

04:17What are you thinking?

04:22Just about how excited I was when Ari first told me that she was coming to Salem.

04:28I was so happy that she wanted to be with me.

04:32I missed her so much.

04:35And now.

04:38Now.

04:42I wish I told her no.

04:45Don't come.

04:46She was thriving in Arizona with Will and Sonny.

04:51And ever since she's been here, it's been nothing but misery and chaos.

04:56And she's been acting out and she's been defiant.

04:58And, oh my God, Sandra, I feel like it's all my fault.

05:01Gabby, no.

05:01But it is.

05:05I'm a terrible mother.

05:10Oh, there has to be another way out of here.

05:13I mean, how is there not like a window or an emergency exit or something?

05:17I don't know.

05:18Probably the reason the jerk stuck us in here in the first place.

05:21We're lucky there's a bathroom.

05:24Damn it.

05:24What happened?

05:25Stupid body pin broke.

05:28Do you really think this is going to work?

05:29I don't know.

05:30Maybe.

05:30I've picked a lock before when I was stuck in the art supply room, but this lock isn't

05:34catching.

05:36I don't think it's going to work.

05:41Oh my God, I think this is it.

05:46Polly, I think I just may have found our way out.

06:00Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.

06:17You know, when I said I'd take you home with me, I had no idea how hard it was going

06:37to be to even think about saying goodbye to you.

06:42Well, we won't have to say goodbye anytime soon.

06:46I hope.

06:50And no matter what happens, little T,

06:55you'll always be in my heart.

07:03Yeah.

07:05You know what?

07:07I'd rather not know what your plans are, illegal or otherwise.

07:11Although, if they do involve breaking the law, there is an excellent chance I am going

07:15to uncover and expose them.

07:18Really, with you as their top-notch journalist.

07:21No wonder the spectators in the rubbish bin.

07:23Actually, ad revenue is beating expectations.

07:27Online subscriptions are way up, thank you very much.

07:30And I suspect they will go even higher once I publish this little tidbit I have on one,

07:35Miss Guinevere von Leuchner.

07:36Oh?

07:38What is this tidbit that you have?

07:43Oh, you'll read about it soon enough.

07:45What is it that you have, Leo?

07:47Ah, okay.

07:50I saw you heading into the Salem Inn with a man the other night.

07:53How shall I describe him?

07:54Let's see.

07:55Washboard abs, a chest that could double as a landing strip.

07:57Kind of looks like Chris Hemsworth when he's in his Thor mode.

08:00So you saw me with Xander then, did you?

08:05Ding, ding, ding.

08:07And the burning question is, are you really running headfirst into that buzzsaw again?

08:12Expectating minds want to know.

08:18Gabby, from everything I've seen, you're a great mother.

08:24Thank you for saying that, even if you don't believe it.

08:26But I do.

08:27I know you and I have had our, uh, differences in the past.

08:34I can see how much you love your daughter.

08:37And I totally understand what you're going through.

08:38I mean, how frustrating it is when you can't protect your own child.

08:44It's the scariest thing I've ever been through when Victoria was kidnapped.

08:48But we got our happy ending.

08:52Our little girl came home.

08:54And I wish you the same thing.

08:57I appreciate your faith in me.

09:00I'll let HR know we spoke.

09:03Right.

09:04Um, okay.

09:05Well, I'm going to go grab my tripod.

09:07Uh, would you mind, uh, just letting Xander know?

09:10Gabby, hey.

09:11I'm in a rush, Phillip.

09:13Something wrong?

09:14Yeah.

09:16Something's very wrong.

09:17I can't talk about it right now.

09:22Hold up right there.

09:24Wraith, God, man.

09:25You scared me.

09:26What are you doing here?

09:29This is Holly's class ring.

09:31Felicity found it outside her gymnastics gym.

09:33Right over there.

09:34You're looking for Holly and Ari?

09:36Yeah.

09:37I mean, I figured they have to be in this industrial park somewhere.

09:39That's why you're here, right?

09:40Yeah, I just checked with the owners.

09:41The only warehouses that are unoccupied are 12 and 18.

09:44I'm starting with 12.

09:45Okay.

09:46All right.

09:46Then I'll check 18 while you go.

09:47No, no, no, no.

09:48It's way too dangerous.

09:49Wraith, you already arrested the guy, right?

09:51Yeah, but the guy's not talking.

09:52We don't know if he has accomplices or not.

09:54Okay, but every single second that we waste...

09:55Just stay here.

09:57When the police get here, let them know where I went, okay?

10:00Can you do that?

10:02Sure.

10:03Yeah.

10:03Okay.

10:16Check it out.

10:17What is it?

10:17I don't know.

10:18It looks like an air duct or something.

10:19If we can get this grade off, we can use it to crawl away to freedom.

10:22Okay, but we don't know where it leads to.

10:26Well, I see daylight, so it has to lead to the roof or the side of the building or something.

10:33Listen, I know it's a long shot, Holly, but it beats sitting around here rotting away.

10:37I mean, you want to see Tate again, don't you?

10:38Your family?

10:39Yes, of course.

10:40Then what do we have to lose?

10:43Okay.

10:43Yeah, fine.

10:49Screwed it.

10:50God, I don't suppose there's a screwdriver in here or, like, a metal pipe we can pry it open with.

10:56Holly, you're brilliant.

10:58Well, I...

10:58I...

10:59Anne?

10:59I think it's a sooner.

11:11So, what if I went to the Salem Inn with Xander?

11:14Well, for starters, he's a married man.

11:16Oh, really, for a self-proclaimed journalist who claims he knows his dirt, you really are

11:25behind, darling, because Xander and Sarah are on the rocks.

11:28Oh, I'm well aware that there's trouble in paradise.

11:31But you know as well as I do, those two always find their way back to each other.

11:34What if this time they don't?

11:39Well, if that's because of your influence, I would say that you are a fool for going down

11:44that road with Xander again.

11:45Oh, and you suddenly care what road I happen to go down now.

11:48Yeah, I do.

11:49Because I was there, remember?

11:50I saw how Xander used you and broke your heart, and I would take no pleasure in watching

11:55that happen again.

12:02Yes, I admit I did hit rock bottom when Xander left me for Sarah.

12:06Bottom when Xander left me for Sarah.

12:09I've hit rock bottom many times for many different reasons.

12:12Do you know what really broke my heart, Matty?

12:22You.

12:28What did you say to her?

12:30Excuse me?

12:31She just ran out of here in tears.

12:34Oh, and you assumed that was my fault.

12:36Okay, uh, where do you want me to...

12:42Yeah, Abby.

12:50Ah, hi.

12:52You okay?

12:52It was canceled.

12:53Xander sent me home.

12:55How come?

12:59Ari's missing.

13:02She's been kidnapped.

13:04What?

13:05Oh, my God.

13:06Oh, my God.

13:12I can't believe that actually worked.

13:13Yeah, I told you it just needs to mess up.

13:15Okay.

13:16Wait, are you sure you want to go in there?

13:18Hell no.

13:19But I'm gonna.

13:29How's it looking?

13:31Dirty.

13:32It's very, very dirty, but, um, it's big enough for me to see a spider.

13:37Ari, are you okay?

13:38What's happening?

13:41Um, I'm fine.

13:42I just, um, I crawled through a spider web.

13:45Did you see a spider?

13:47Not yet, but I just, uh, crawl in front of me.

13:50Are you the me?

13:52Tony, I think I should do it.

13:53Okay, that's amazing.

13:54Keep going.

13:55Well, it's not like I can turn around.

13:57Okay, Mickey, or Minnie.

14:02If you stay out of my way, I promise I'll stay out of yours.

14:10What?

14:12Another mouse?

14:14No, worse.

14:15Holly, Holly, I think I'm stuck.

14:16I'm stuck.

14:27Do you have any idea how much you hurt me?

14:31How devastated I was by your betrayal?

14:34Of course I do.

14:36And if you had ever listened to any of my hundreds of gravelly voicemails,

14:40or read any of my gravelly texts,

14:43you would know that that is the biggest regret of my life.

14:48And if I thought it would make any difference,

14:50I would literally crawl through glass and beg you for forgiveness.

14:53Well, as much as I would love to see that,

15:00it wouldn't make a difference.

15:04Because you planted a knife in my back so deep it can't be removed.

15:15If it's any consolation,

15:18when it comes to Dimitri, we both lost, Blake.

15:20At least you got his fortune.

15:25All I got was a Dear Leo letter

15:27that looked like it was written by a third grader.

15:31Well, it looks like you've recovered nicely, doesn't it?

15:34You even got yourself into a new sparkly relationship.

15:40Yeah.

15:42Javi is a good man.

15:44He's kind, he's funny, totally gets me.

15:49Lucky you.

15:50Yeah.

15:55Lucky him.

16:01You don't mean that.

16:04I do, actually.

16:14I have to keep going.

16:15Javi needs me to take care of the baby.

16:18Javi needs me to take care of the baby.

16:25Sure, go home to your happy little family.

16:27Uh, sorry I had to, uh, postpone this yesterday, guys.

16:36Hey, you said you were dealing with a personal matter.

16:39We understand.

16:40Of course we do.

16:42Of course we do.

16:43However, perhaps you starting work here right now wasn't good timing.

16:49What?

16:51Look, I thought I just told Johnny his job here is safe.

16:56And hey, you're the one who hired him, Xander.

16:58I did, yes.

16:59Because at the time, Johnny was all in on undermining his father.

17:03Whereas thanks to your poor judgment, Philip, EJ now owns the hospital.

17:08And Johnny and his dad are all kumbaya again.

17:11Which is why I'm no longer sure that having you here at Tyson's Amara is a good idea.

17:20Reef is out looking for Ari and Holly right now.

17:23Okay.

17:23Well, that's good.

17:24Does he have any leads?

17:27No.

17:27I haven't heard from him and I can't reach him.

17:31Look, I'll tell you what.

17:33You watch Little Tea.

17:34I'll head into work early and I'll see if I can find out anything, okay?

17:39That'll be great.

17:41You'll call me with any news right away?

17:43Of course.

17:49Thank you, Javi.

17:52Hang in there, okay?

17:53Okay?

17:54And do yourself a favor and think positive.

17:57Because we are going to find your little girl, okay?

18:06Warehouse 18.

18:08Okay.

18:10Ari!

18:12Ari!

18:14Help me, please, Ari!

18:15Ari, Ari, hang on.

18:16Okay, I'm going to crawl in there and try to pull you through.

18:17Wait, wait, wait, don't, don't.

18:18You'll just get stuck, too.

18:20Are you sure?

18:20Yes, yes.

18:21The place will wind it up.

18:22Are we feeling the name?

18:23Yeah, hang tight.

18:24Tight.

18:25Ari, I can't breathe.

18:27Ari, Ari, I can't breathe.

18:27You're just panicking, okay?

18:28You need to relax.

18:29Just, just breathe in.

18:31Breathe out.

18:32Holly!

18:33Ari!

18:33Dean?

18:34Dean, is that you?

18:35We're not in here!

18:36Ari, Holly, I'm here.

18:37I'm here.

18:39Stand back!

18:42Ari, Ari, Ari, Ari.

18:44It's all right.

18:46It's all right.

18:48It's all right.

18:49It's all right.

18:51Okay, look.

18:58Yeah, yeah, my dad and I are on better terms.

19:01I admit that.

19:01But my loyalty is to you and this company.

19:04No, but loyalties can be fickle, right, Philip?

19:07Hang on, Johnny.

19:08Can you give us a second?

19:09Sure.

19:10For God's sake, Sandra, you can't fire Johnny just because he's made nice with his father.

19:21It would be an HR and PR nightmare.

19:25One we can't afford right now.

19:27Besides, Johnny's skill set is useful here.

19:31And what exactly is his skill set?

19:34He has great ideas for building the brand and a knack for telling stories.

19:40At a time when we're trying to paint the picture of a united and forward-thinking family,

19:46we can really use someone like him.

19:49Oh, so he's just here to whitewash your lies and betray him.

19:53All right, you know what?

19:54Look, guys, I don't want to cause any problems.

19:57So, Xander, if you want me to resign, I will...

19:59You're not resigning.

20:01This conversation is over.

20:03Can we just record this video?

20:06Fine.

20:06I mean, it's only a matter of time before Victoria starts to...

20:09It's like I have a sixth sense.

20:15Like you said, good thing we don't let personal matters interfere in the workplace.

20:20Say one more word about my daughter, I dare you.

20:23I remember when Ari was so small.

20:34And like a mom, I wasn't around for her.

20:38I never stopped loving my darling girl or worrying about her.

20:53No matter how old she is, she will always be my baby.

20:59Hi.

21:06Javi just texted me about Ari.

21:08I am so sorry.

21:11I can't even begin to imagine what you're going through.

21:18Javi?

21:19Great news!

21:21I just heard on the radio Rafa found Ari and Holly.

21:23Oh, thank God.

21:26Thank God.

21:27Is Ari okay?

21:29I don't know the details, but she and Holly are at some warehouse.

21:33I'm on my way to see her.

21:35Okay.

21:38From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

21:41Please call me as soon as you have eyes on her.

21:44I will.

21:44I'm really happy for you, Riman.

21:50Javi, there are no words.

21:54More soon.

21:58Yeah, you heard.

21:59My baby's been following.

22:00Yeah, I pretty much got the idea.

22:03I mean, as you can tell, I'm completely proclaimed.

22:06Two.

22:08Would it be okay if I...

22:11Yeah, sure.

22:12Sure.

22:14It's okay.

22:19Are you worried?

22:21It's her.

22:22I know.

22:24Holly!

22:25Oh, my gosh.

22:26So good to see you.

22:27It's really good to see you, too.

22:29Wait, where's Ari?

22:30She's in there.

22:33She was trying to find a way out and got stuck.

22:36Okay.

22:36I tell you, will you take her outside and meet up with the police and the medics?

22:39Let them know where I am.

22:40And I need assistance, okay?

22:42Yeah, got it.

22:42All right, let's go.

22:43Grace, go.

22:44Ari, Rave's here.

22:46You're going to be okay.

22:47I'll see you when you're safe.

22:51Ari!

22:52Hey, it's Rave.

22:53Can you hear me?

22:54Uncle Rave, Rave, something's happening.

22:57Ari!

23:02Ari!

23:04Hey, you're sure you're okay?

23:06Yeah.

23:06I just need to make sure Rave's going to get Ari out of there safely.

23:09I mean, she was so brave to go in there to hate.

23:12We thought it was her only hope.

23:14Oh, you must have been so scared.

23:17It's all right.

23:18It's all right.

23:18I know.

23:19I know.

23:20It's okay.

23:23You're safe now.

23:25It's okay.

23:29I'm only safe because of you.

23:32It's all right.

23:33Ari!

23:39Ari, it's Rave.

23:40Can you hear me?

23:42Ari!

23:48Ari!

23:50Ari!

23:50And now that I've recovered from my injuries...

24:03And I've been fully exonerated of the false charges against me...

24:07My brother and I are united in our efforts to stabilize and grow Titan DiMera.

24:12For a brighter, more successful future.

24:14Oh, we're going to do it together.

24:18And we're out.

24:19How was it?

24:26Very convincing.

24:27Would have been a lot better if my brother had stuck to the script.

24:30I said just what we agreed upon.

24:31We agreed upon a script, but you were ad-libbing all over the place.

24:35I was just trying to be natural.

24:37And why is she not with a nanny?

24:38Shhh.

24:42For your information, Philip, I've spoken to HR about starting a daycare in the building, but licensing doesn't happen overnight.

24:51Well, in the meantime, I've got a great idea.

24:53Why don't you let her go back home to be with her mother instead of trapping her in that cage all day?

24:58It's not a cage, it's a portable crib.

25:02Call it what you want.

25:03It looks like a tiny, little prison.

25:05I warned you not to talk about my daughter.

25:11You know I'm right, Xander.

25:13She doesn't belong here.

25:15Now get over yourself and think about what Victoria really needs.

25:18Okay, you are going to go down for a little nap, and I am going to call somebody who may have been a very bad boy.

25:38Doug, it's Leo.

25:41Yeah, I just heard about Ari and Holly's kidnapping.

25:44Please tell me that you and your friends didn't have anything to do with this.

25:48Dammit, Doug, you didn't think to tell me that the other woman you're involved with is my boyfriend's cousin?

25:56If Gabby finds out that I knew her daughter could be in danger, forget Billie Eilish.

26:00She's going to have me for lunch.

26:04Hey, what did the paramedics say?

26:06They checked me out, I'm all good.

26:08Except I need to know Ari's going to be okay.

26:11She's going to be all right.

26:12Okay, she's got Rafe and so many other people here to help her.

26:16I know.

26:16Tate, when are they going to get her out?

26:22I know.

26:23I know.

26:26What happened?

26:27Ari.

26:28Ari.

26:28What happened?

26:29He tried to escape through an air duct and it collapsed.

26:32I was barely able to get her out.

26:34Ari?

26:35Ari, hey.

26:35Hey, hey, hey.

26:36It's Ari.

26:36Can you hear me?

26:37You're a hero.

26:53I mean, I don't know about that.

26:56No, come on.

26:57You found us.

26:58You just kicked a freaking door in.

27:01I mean, you're the reason we were rescued.

27:04Thank God.

27:07Because you mean everything to me, Holly.

27:11I can't ever lose you.

27:21Holly.

27:21Dang it.

27:22You're safe.

27:23We're sorry.

27:33That's it.

27:34Freeze only.

27:36You're going to be okay, okay?

27:38Okay.

27:38What happened?

27:41You were in an air van.

27:42I collapsed.

27:43Oh, my God.

27:43I saw him.

27:44Thank God.

27:44Oh, my God.

27:45Oh, my God.

27:46Oh, my God.

27:47Oh, my God.

27:49Oh, my God.

27:50Oh, my God.

27:51Oh, my God.

28:21Oh, my God.

28:35Well, my two-faced husband might be missing thanks to a sizable fortune I'm still present

28:46and accounted for.

28:49I'm just getting started.

28:54Oh, Salem.

28:56You really are in for a rip-roaring good time.

29:00Uh, well, I'm going to go edit this statement, uh, send it back to you for review.

29:09If there's nothing else.

29:11That'll be all, Johnny.

29:11Good luck tomorrow.

29:12Good luck tomorrow.

29:13Good luck tomorrow.

29:21Oh, God.

29:22It is no good, Philip.

29:23This is a nightmare.

29:25I mean, just being in your presence makes my gorge rise, let alone working with you.

29:30Well, I'm not quitting, so unless you are, the only alternative is to send you to the Hong Kong office.

29:39What?

29:40Hong Kong?

29:41Father's place I can think of.

29:44Right.

29:44Well, actually, I think that would, that would be the perfect setting for you.

29:52I'm sure Sarah would agree.

30:05Whew.

30:08Your uncle is trying to get under my skin, isn't he, darling?

30:11And, unfortunately, he is succeeding.

30:17Well, if we can't live with him, and we can't smother him with a pillow,

30:24we'll just have to come up with a more creative solution.

30:28You know, little T, because of how I was raised, or rather neglected,

30:42I always thought that if I ever got to be a dad, which was highly doubtful, still is, of course,

30:48but I thought that I would end up screwing up my kid the same way I would screw it up.

30:57But now,

30:59you bring out the best in me, Tesoro.

31:05And I'm starting to think that maybe

31:08I'm not so bad at this parenting thing after all.

31:13Except,

31:18I definitely feel like I'm a little

31:21overprotective, you know?

31:31Like,

31:32like the thought of anything bad ever happening to you.

31:36I can't even think about it.

31:37I would protect you with my life, Tesoro.

31:49No questions asked.

31:57Her oxygen levels have returned to normal,

31:59but I just want to take her to the hospital.

32:01You know?

32:01As a precaution.

32:02No.

32:03Bruce.

32:03I'm so sorry, Mom.

32:15No, no, no, no, baby.

32:16It's, it's not your fault.

32:18I'm just so relieved you're okay?

32:20I love you so much.

32:23I love you too.

32:26I love you so much.

32:29I love you.

32:30I love you.

32:33I'm sorry.

32:39She is going to be just fine.

32:41Oh, God.

32:42Yeah.

32:43Holly, Sean asked me to bring you down to the station

32:45so you can give a statement.

32:46Well, right now.

32:48No, it's okay.

32:49I want to do it.

32:50Okay, good.

32:51You can call your mom on the way,

32:52and I'll drive.

32:53You can let her know you're fine.

32:55Okay?

32:55And I'm sure they're going to want to hear from you.

32:57My guess is they'll be in touch.

32:59Okay.

32:59All right.

33:00Thank you for being my hero today.

33:06All right.

33:06I'll call you as soon as I'm done.

33:08Voicemail from Sophia.

33:27Hey, Sophia.

33:28Sorry, I missed your call earlier.

33:29I'm in labor.

33:32Oh, my God.

33:33Oh, my God.

33:37Oh, my God.

33:38Oh, my God.

33:39Oh, my God.

33:40Oh, my God.

33:41Oh, my God.

33:42Oh, my God.

33:43Oh, my God.

33:44Oh, my God.

33:45Oh, my God.

33:46Oh, my God.

33:47Oh, my God.

33:48Oh, my God.

33:49Oh, my God.

33:50Oh, my God.

33:51Oh, my God.
