00:00Johnny, it's your father.
00:04I, uh, see you've put me through to your voicemail.
00:09Again.
00:13While you may be doing your damnedest to avoid me,
00:16know this.
00:19No matter how you feel about me,
00:21or what happened between us,
00:24I will always love you.
00:30Okay.
00:37Okay.
00:47Well...
00:58Johnny?
01:00Stephanie, hey.
01:06Hello, Philip.
01:09I was on my way to the pub to see if Roman has an update on Bo.
01:13If you're heading that way, will you check in with him together?
01:17My folks are keeping me in the loop.
01:19Besides, I'm sure you and Kate will want to celebrate.
01:26Celebrate?
01:28Yeah, you've realized your dream of taking over DiMera.
01:31Got everything you ever wanted, so...
01:34Tell me.
01:36Was it all worth it?
01:37Good.
01:42Good.
01:43You're here.
01:44Easy, man.
01:45Where's the fire?
01:46I just did a deep dive into what the mayor of pharmaceuticals has on their research and development docket.
01:51And?
01:53They're sitting on a gold mine.
01:56However, that mine belongs to us now.
01:58All it takes is one breakthrough drug to be a game changer for a company. That's what you said, right?
02:09Because...
02:10This is it.
02:18Sean.
02:20Oh.
02:21I'm so sorry.
02:23You heard about my dad.
02:25Yeah, I did.
02:27And you know your dad's always been really special to me.
02:29And you know how Claire feels about him.
02:32Yeah, that's because she has him wrapped around her finger.
02:35Well, every superhero has his kryptonite.
02:40You stay strong.
02:43If I know Bo, he's not going to give up with everybody.
02:46No, he won't.
02:49And neither will I.
03:01Are those from Hope?
03:02Uh, yeah.
03:04She sent over Bo's, uh, latest records.
03:09I take it there's no improvement.
03:12Uh, no improvement would be a win at this point.
03:15No.
03:17His condition is deteriorating rapidly.
03:20Oh, baby.
03:21Come here.
03:23Uh...
03:25I'm so sorry.
03:30Yeah.
03:32Listen...
03:34We are running out of time.
03:37So if we're gonna steal that drug to save my brother's life...
03:41You need to do it now.
03:43Before it's too late.
03:44Before it's too late.
03:45Before it's too late.
03:46Before it's too late.
03:47Before it's too late.
03:49Yeah.
03:50All right.
03:51There's no trouble.
03:53All right.
03:54Oh, man.
03:55You're a good man.
03:57Theeurys.
03:58Like sand through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.
04:19Wow. And here I thought we could call a truce, given everything that's going on.
04:24What's happening with Bo doesn't give you a free pass, Phillip.
04:28In fact, he'd be the first one calling you out for lying to Xander.
04:33Xander kicked me out of the house, as you may know.
04:36But he couldn't kick me out of the company because that could compromise the DeMera takeover.
04:41Maybe even Teg Tate's market cap.
04:43Lucky you. You get to keep the treasure you plundered.
04:48Does this mean you're not going to say anything?
04:50It'd serve you right if I did.
04:52I would love to tip Chad off to the whole scheme, have it land front page of the Spectator, but I'm not going to do that.
05:03I'm not doing this for you. I'm doing this for Sarah.
05:07She's the only person that Xander would feel more betrayed by than you if he found out that Sarah knew their secret and kept it from him.
05:15It could destroy their marriage.
05:17I agree. Some things are better left unsaid.
05:23Yeah.
05:25Now if you'll excuse me.
05:27Actually, there is something more that needs to be said.
05:32Something I should have told you a long time ago.
05:36I'm listening.
05:37I'm sorry.
05:45Hmm.
05:46You know, I didn't expect you to attack this head on right after we talked about it this morning.
05:51There's no point waiting.
05:53I will admit, it didn't make that much sense to me at the beginning, but something stood out to me.
05:58Demira had tried, unsuccessfully, to find a treatment for sepsis.
06:06Now I'm no doctor, but I know it has killed a lot of people over the years.
06:11And my dad said as much when he told me what's going on with your brother.
06:15My brother?
06:16Of course, you mean both.
06:19I only recently found out he was my brother, but I feel for everyone who loves him.
06:23Yeah, well, a whole lot of people we care about are all hurting right now.
06:27And an effective drug for sepsis could prevent a whole lot of other families from suffering the same way.
06:36And they cause a fortune.
06:37Mm-hmm.
06:37You tell R&D to get back to work on this miracle, you will do.
06:42However, there is one little catch.
06:46Somebody might be beating us to the punch.
06:51Listen, I don't think you should be talking about this in the open.
06:56You.
06:58And I appreciate you trying to give me plausible deniability.
07:02But that ship has sailed.
07:04I know that there is no way that I am not going to be implicated in this if you were caught.
07:10And I'd be peace with that.
07:13You might have.
07:14But I don't want you to jeopardize your entire career for some false hope.
07:19The drug isn't even in human trials yet.
07:22What if it can't save, Beau?
07:25Or worse, we compromise the study and delay the development of the drug.
07:29I know there are a lot of risks here.
07:32But the upside is, it could save Beau's life.
07:36And if it does, it is going to give hope to millions of people because it's going to be fast-tracked.
07:43Okay.
07:44Then the key is, we need to break in and steal the drug in a way that no one notices.
07:50But is that even possible?
07:52I think that's what you do.
07:53You just, you just steal one dose.
07:56I think Jeffrey can just, you know, chalk it up to human error or poor record-keeping.
08:04The loss would be negligible if you just get in and get out without being detected.
08:09Did you, did you look at the floor plan of the lab?
08:12I did.
08:12And I also did some reconnaissance.
08:16Turns out there's one major roadblock to our plan.
08:22What's that?
08:24Dr. Russell goes in and out of that lab.
08:29All hours, day or night.
08:32He has no set schedule.
08:33So he could just pop in and catch you in the act any time?
08:37Yeah.
08:38Oh, sorry.
08:44Am I interrupting?
08:58Stefan.
09:02Junkmail?
09:03In the truest sense of the word, I forgot the post never arrives as quickly.
09:11And neither does forgiveness.
09:13Your brother let me in, but if this is a bad time.
09:16Oh, of course not.
09:18I asked to see you, remember?
09:20We have plenty to discuss.
09:23Do we?
09:24I mean, I told you, Dr. Johnson won't even entertain giving me the rights to my drug.
09:29Without those, it's pretty much game over for us.
09:31On the contrary, my friend.
09:34As I've told you, all is not lost.
09:37In fact, everything is going exactly as I planned.
09:40What do you mean?
09:54Has there been a change with your dad's condition?
09:56Uh, no.
09:59No, there hasn't.
09:59I just, I just mean that I'm not losing faith.
10:03Good.
10:04Well, I won't either.
10:06Trust me, I know that can be hard.
10:07I know you can relate.
10:11Yeah, I can.
10:12But Paul and Andrew are confident they're going to find my dad.
10:15It's just hard to keep getting my hopes up.
10:19I'm sure they're doing everything they can to bring him back safely.
10:23Yeah, you know.
10:24But if you wanted to throw a few prayers our way, I would take them.
10:28Oh, likewise.
10:30Consider it done.
10:31You know, it's, uh, it's sad, isn't it?
10:37That both of our dads are fighting for their lives.
10:41Yeah.
10:42And at any other time, they'd be the ones helping each other out at the jam.
10:47That's for sure.
10:50You know, so much has changed between them and...
10:53No matter what, they still consider each other family.
10:56Kind of like us.
11:05You're sorry.
11:08But that's worth.
11:10For what?
11:13Honestly, Philip, you're going to have to fill me in at this point.
11:17You're right.
11:19God, I don't know where to start.
11:24I'm sorry for lying to you about that letter.
11:26I'm sorry for compromising your integrity at work by getting you to advocate for me.
11:33But most of all, I'm sorry for treating you like dirt afterwards.
11:39I've been treating you like an afterthought, which is incredibly selfish and idiotic, considering you've always had my back.
11:47Even when I didn't deserve it.
11:49Why did you do it, Philip?
11:56There were legal ways that you could have tried to claim your part of the inheritance.
12:01Why was it so important for you to deny Xander his?
12:05The Mara isn't the only one trying to create a cure for sepsis.
12:13Word is that Salem University Hospital is close to a near breakthrough.
12:17But with their financial struggle, they're in no position to fast-track much of anything.
12:23Hey, I'm going to give us a chance to catch up with them.
12:27Let's rally the board.
12:28If we throw enough money at R&D, maybe we can beat them to the market.
12:31Okay, slow it down.
12:32I just need to do some due diligence here.
12:34But, sir, you probably have plans for this evening anyway, don't you?
12:37Yeah, I do.
12:40Take the night off.
12:42You've earned it.
12:42This is fantastic work.
12:44Thank you, cousin.
12:51Listen, Xander, I know I let you down when I covered for Philip.
12:56But I promise you, you will not regret giving me the second chance.
13:07Sorry, I probably should have waited after I knocked.
13:13No, no, of course not.
13:15You know I have an open-door policy, especially for you.
13:20I heard about Beau.
13:22I'm so sorry.
13:24I wish that there was something I could do.
13:27Yeah.
13:28We all feel the same way.
13:31Well, I should get going, huh?
13:33Yeah.
13:33And love.
13:37Yeah.
13:39I will keep you posted as soon as I figure a way around my schedule, okay?
13:45Yeah.
13:49Kayla, you should really call it a night.
13:53I mean, is there anything I can take off your plate for you?
13:56I appreciate that.
13:57But no, I need to keep busy.
13:58Although I'm not looking forward to, uh, signing our new budget.
14:06Well, if it saves the hospital any money, I'm willing to skip this weekend's conference.
14:15Oh, the research one in Chicago.
14:18Yeah, I mean, just between the cost of travel and lodging.
14:24Oh, maybe we could buy a few latex gloves.
14:27Okay, yeah, so my motivations here aren't very pure.
14:33It's just, it's...
14:34It's the first weekend I've had off in a while, and I would just love to be able to spend it with my husband and daughter.
14:43I'm not in some boring conference center.
14:46There's just, there's this little cabin that I have had my eye on renting, and maybe it's wishful thinking, because you probably can't find somebody to go in that place on such short notice.
15:00Since when did you start wearing rose-colored glasses?
15:07University Hospital retaining the rights to VersaVex doesn't help us at all.
15:12In the short term, no.
15:14But we're playing chess, not checkers.
15:16I'm losing the thread here, E.J.
15:20It's all about thinking several moves ahead.
15:23I'm not at all surprised that Kayla turned down your request.
15:26I certainly would have done the same in her shoes.
15:28Then why did you make me grovel to her?
15:30Covering all our bases.
15:32Plus, it helped to keep her from realizing we're working together.
15:36I like being kept in the dark.
15:37Of course, but as much as you are a genius, you have a terrible poker face.
15:43I couldn't risk Kayla catching wind of our plan.
15:47What plan?
15:49If the hospital goes under, my research is lost.
15:52It's not going under.
15:55Should I share it in your confidence?
15:57It's not confidence.
15:58It's a fact.
16:00The hospital is about to find itself a new bank roller.
16:04Really?
16:05Hmm.
16:05Then who would that be exactly?
16:08Why are you looking at him?
16:21All right.
16:22Well, um, I better go pack.
16:25You know, you should go pack, but not for the conference.
16:29Why'd you spend the weekend with your family?
16:33Wait, what?
16:34Yeah, I'm serious.
16:36You know, that conference is for research, right?
16:38I mean, we should be sending somebody with more lab experience anyway.
16:43Are you sure?
16:44I mean, can you even find anybody in time?
16:47Are you trying to get me to change my mind?
16:50No, absolutely not.
16:51I'm not.
16:51Okay, then get out of here and give that darling daughter a hug for me, okay?
17:00I owe you.
17:01No, you don't.
17:02Believe me.
17:02The pleasure.
17:04The pleasure's all mine.
17:05You want to run that by me again?
17:19I'm going to buy University Hospitals.
17:22How exactly?
17:24I'm not sure you've heard, but I'm a very wealthy man.
17:27You're a wealthy man who's been ousted from his family's business.
17:30And at this moment, I'm very grateful for that.
17:33The rest of my family's finances have been tied up after the Titan takeover.
17:37I, on the other hand, am extremely liquid.
17:40And speaking of liquid, excuse me.
17:43If that was your plan all along, then why didn't you just swoop in months ago when the hospital was first in trouble?
17:49Well, I had to get all my ducks in a row, of course.
17:53And then that pesky shooting derailed my timeline.
17:58But now that I have everything in order, I'm ready to pull the trigger.
18:06That was a joke.
18:09Feel free to love.
18:12Have you really thought this through, EJ?
18:15I mean, I get money not being an object at all, but this isn't just a one-time splurge.
18:21The cost of maintaining a non-profit hospital will eventually bleed you dry.
18:26You're not giving me enough credit.
18:28Or yourself.
18:30Once your drug is approved, the patent alone will fund the hospital for decades.
18:35You'll be healed as heroes.
18:36Not just for saving the hospital, but for curing a deadly ailment.
18:41Cheers to that.
18:43And what?
18:44Your profit participation is just an added benefit?
18:47Our profit participation.
18:49We have noble intentions, Jeffrey.
18:53But why shouldn't good men be rewarded for their good deeds?
18:58Speak to the devil.
19:04It's Dr. Johnson.
19:06She wants to see me.
19:08I think she doesn't know what we're working here, right?
19:11Only one way to find out.
19:12I wasn't trying to deny Xander his share of Titan.
19:17Could have fooled me.
19:19Could have fooled me.
19:20I'm serious.
19:22This wasn't about keeping anything from anyone.
19:24It was about me being able to do something my father could never do.
19:26The last time I saw him, I screwed up so badly he had to fake my death so I could get help.
19:33He did that because he loved you.
19:35He loved me, but he was also ashamed.
19:37But I never got a chance to redeem myself in his eyes before he died.
19:43I guess I...
19:45I don't know, convinced myself that if I could accomplish something, he never could.
19:49That if I capped off his unfinished business, he'd be proud of me again.
19:54But saying it out loud now just sounds so incredibly stupid.
19:57It's not stupid at all.
19:59In fact, that is the most human thing I've heard you say since you got back into town.
20:05Because nothing else mattered to me.
20:07I was on a mission.
20:09Like I was a soldier again.
20:11And I am all too familiar with the guilt that's left when the fog of war lifts.
20:17I can't say I regret doing what I did, but...
20:22I do regret hurting the people I care about.
20:27Pretty much lost every friend I've left.
20:34Not everyone.
20:37Look.
20:39There are still a lot of hurt feelings between us.
20:45I have known you most of my life.
20:48I'd like to think that one day, we can put all of this behind us and be friends again.
21:01Be nice.
21:02Take care of yourself, Philip.
21:08I have a surprise for you.
21:27Do tell.
21:28I will.
21:30I will get right to that as soon as you tell me what you're reading that has you so enthralled that you didn't even hear me come in.
21:37I'm sorry, darling.
21:38I'm just trying to make heads or tails of the neuropharmaceutical division.
21:42Oh, finally, our careers overlap.
21:46Do you want to tell me what's tripping you up?
21:50What do you know about sepsis?
21:52Is this about what's going on with Beau?
21:56Yeah, I suppose it is.
21:59I've heard that term on every doctor show on TV, but I've never really thought about what it actually is.
22:04Um, well, in the simplest terms, it's when an infection spreads so much that the patient's immune system attacks its own body.
22:16Yeah.
22:16There's no cure.
22:17Look, there's antibiotic protocols, but the mortality rate's still pretty high.
22:23It's the cause of a third of all hospital deaths, according to some studies.
22:27So developing a treatment beyond the antibiotic protocol, that'd be a worthwhile pursuit.
22:33Yeah, for sure it would.
22:34I mean, there has to be tons of labs that are dedicating time to just that.
22:39Like University Hospital, for instance?
22:42I guess.
22:44But you know where their research stands?
22:48Okay, this is clearly not about Beau.
22:50So do you want to tell me what all these questions are about?
23:04Any updates?
23:11Well, I got some valuable insight from Kayla.
23:16So you did tell the woman to find you?
23:18More or less.
23:20She thought the time for Cloak and Dagger was over.
23:24I can't say I disagree.
23:26Oh my God.
23:28This is a big risk for Kayla.
23:31But worthwhile.
23:32Well, she told me how much Versa Vix we could take without compromising the entire trial.
23:41Now, did you familiarize yourself with the four plans I sent you?
23:45Yeah.
23:45Yeah, it seems pretty simple to go in there.
23:48We grab the drug and we get out.
23:49I mean, I'll go to the night if you want to go.
23:52Oh, well, we have to hold on a minute.
23:55There is a new complication.
23:58What's that?
24:00The better question would be who.
24:02You wanted to see me, Dr. Johnson?
24:09Yes, Jeffrey.
24:10Thank you for coming over so quickly.
24:13I didn't like the way that we had left things earlier today.
24:16So does this mean you're changing your mind about releasing the rights to Versa Vix?
24:21No, I'm afraid not.
24:23But in the interest of showing you that there are no hard feelings, I wanted to throw another opportunity your way.
24:30Um, are you busy this weekend?
24:34Outside of my research, no.
24:36Well, that's what I thought.
24:38Well, that's what I thought.
24:38And you know what, Jeffrey?
24:40You deserve a break.
24:44And Chicago is beautiful this time of year.
24:47Chicago.
24:47Yes, we need someone from your department to represent us in a medical research conference.
24:55And when you're finished, you can enjoy the city.
25:00I appreciate the offer, but I don't think I'm the right person for the job.
25:05And why is that?
25:07There's a reason I keep to myself in my lab.
25:09I'm not exactly known for my people skills.
25:13And my staff has to continue the study, and they can't do that if I'm not there to supervise them.
25:17Right.
25:18So this is actually for the best.
25:20I mean, we've all heard the long hours you have made your team work.
25:23And the last thing we want, the hospital to have some kind of HR complaint.
25:28So, they need the weekend off.
25:31And frankly, so do you.
25:34I don't know.
25:35Come on, Jeffrey.
25:37Give me one good reason that you wouldn't do this.
25:49Hello.
25:51You okay?
25:54Just dandy.
25:55A little wiped from my apology tour, though.
25:58You might as well have a seat.
25:59I'm sure you want to.
26:02Let me guess.
26:04This must be about Titan.
26:06I have to admit, I was wondering when the other shoe was going to drop.
26:10Well, I have good news for you.
26:12I get to stay on as co-CEO.
26:14You're kidding.
26:15Legal worries.
26:17It could compromise both companies if what I did got out.
26:21Justin backed up that finding.
26:22I took your advice and looped him in, by the way.
26:25Better late than never.
26:26Still, he was pretty disappointed in me.
26:30He was pretty disappointed in me.
26:31Almost as much as Maggie is.
26:33Well, can you blame her?
26:36No.
26:37I mean, I know this is what my father would have wanted for Xander and me to work together.
26:44But I guess I really am Victor's son.
26:47I took what I wanted and didn't care how it would affect anyone else.
26:53You know what the craziest part of all this is?
26:56It's a pretty high bar, but go on.
26:58The person I feel most guilty about hurting is Xander.
27:06Because for a second there, it really started to feel like we were brothers.
27:12In every sense of the word.
27:16You know, I'm just trying to get my head around all this science stuff.
27:22It's hard to make good decisions about things that I don't really understand, you know?
27:25Well, luckily, you employ thousands of people to understand it for you.
27:33Now, can we please get to my surprise?
27:37I know this.
27:43Okay.
27:47Surprise!
27:49What was this?
27:50I booked us a cabin on Lake Geneva for the weekend.
27:56The three of us can swim, canoe, and relax.
27:59And there's a nearby day spa with childcare for when we want to be alone.
28:05Well, I thought you wanted to go somewhere tropical for our belated honeymoon.
28:12Don't think you're off the hook for that.
28:13I still fully anticipate to be whisked away to a five-star resort with nary a toddler in sight.
28:19Okay, but then, what's all this?
28:23I mean, does there have to be a reason?
28:26We've both been so swamped lately, so think of this as a...
28:31mini-moon.
28:34Sarah, this is incredibly sweet of you, but I just...
28:37No, no, no buts. No buts.
28:39Between everything that's been going on with Titan and the hospital's money troubles,
28:44we have both been run ragged.
28:48Come on.
28:50Surely, Alex can watch Philip for a weekend.
28:54I don't know.
28:55Okay, well, if you're still on the fence,
28:58then let me tell you what you would be missing.
29:01No kicking, don't you, kids?
29:19Okay.
29:23What a...
29:25What's all this?
29:30Well, we've had so much going on lately with work and everything with Bo.
29:36I figured maybe it would be nice to just stay in for a change.
29:40Mmm.
29:43We stream a little movie.
29:45Oh, that is perfect.
29:48Yeah.
29:48You've read my mind.
29:51Mmm.
29:56You know, I will...
29:59Oh, yeah, check it out.
30:02I'll even let you pick the notebook
30:05since we didn't get to see it on tour.
30:09Mmm.
30:09Maybe not tonight.
30:12No?
30:14Mmm.
30:15I don't know.
30:16I'm kind of in the mood for something else
30:19that I haven't seen, like, a million times.
30:21No problem.
30:22Don't get me wrong.
30:23I love the movie.
30:24But I don't know.
30:25Maybe something, um...
30:27Maybe something...
30:29sexier?
30:33Maybe something a little bit more like
30:35the novel you're writing?
30:37Mmm.
30:37Ah-ha.
30:55Ah-ha.
30:56Ah-ha.
30:57Ah-ha.
30:59Ah-ha.
31:01Sarah?
31:03Is that you?
31:04Yep.
31:05I just put Victoria down for bed.
31:07But not before she got to see her dad like this
31:13Oh, I think you told her this was all your idea
31:16And stifle that adorable laughter, I think not
31:20I'm still not quite sure what the point of this is
31:23The point is to show you how relaxing a nice spa day could be
31:29I bet you're feeling less tense already
31:33I'm feeling like a salad
31:35Well, see, if I could whip this up in five minutes
31:39Imagine what true professionals could do
31:41Yeah, you know
31:43I've just never really been much of a spa type guy, you know
31:50Yeah, yeah
31:51Why does this get to her so important to you?
32:01Because it's just
32:02It's been one thing after another for us lately, for both of us
32:09You have been so incredibly stressed about being forced to work with Philip
32:16And I feel like I have been running in place ever since the hospital's money trouble started
32:24And I am... I am wiped
32:26I need a reset
32:28I need one weekend
32:30Without thinking about my job
32:34You know, all right
32:42You're right
32:43Let's do it
32:44Let's go away
32:45Really?
32:48Really
32:48I love you
32:50I love you too
32:53And you know
32:55And you know
32:55I'm pretty sure that we have the house to ourselves tonight
33:00That's right
33:03So
33:04Maybe it's time for me to give you a little taste of what
33:09We will be getting up to this week
33:14You read my manuscript?
33:27One stormy night
33:29Only the first few pages
33:31Oh my god
33:33I am so embarrassed
33:34What?
33:35Why?
33:36Oh, because
33:37Nobody was supposed to read it
33:40That was just something I was doing in my spare time
33:43Because you're so damn good at it
33:46Yes, at least according to the first chapter
33:48It's an absolute page turner and I cannot wait to finish it
33:52Please don't
33:54What do you mean?
33:55Why not?
33:57Because even though it's a romance novel
33:59It also...
34:01It's graphic
34:02It's graphic
34:03Oh yes, I gathered as much
34:04God!
34:05Who cares, babe?
34:06Who cares?
34:07What's the big deal?
34:07It's a little steamy
34:08Oh, it's a little...
34:10Mortifying is what it is
34:12Oh
34:13So you're afraid
34:16That I'm gonna learn about your innermost fantasies and desires?
34:22You already know them
34:24Oh
34:25Wow
34:28Most of them
34:31Okay, alright, well
34:36And if I'm not
34:38And if I'm not
34:38Allowed to
34:40Read it
34:41Maybe we could
34:44Act out
34:46A couple chapters together
34:49Instead
34:50No
34:51I like that
34:56Yeah
34:57Chapter
34:59I'm sorry
35:13Is this a bad time?
35:16Um
35:16Jeffrey
35:17If you could excuse us
35:19Um
35:20But listen
35:21I'm not gonna take no for an answer
35:23So
35:23Can I count on you?
35:27Fine
35:27I'll be there
35:28Fantastic
35:30What was that about?
35:35None of your business
35:37You're right
35:38I withdraw the question
35:39Is there something I can do for you?
35:43Actually, there is
35:45I'd like to
35:47Do something more
35:49To help the hospital get out of its current predicament
35:51Oh, well
35:53We are happy to take another donation
35:55Oh, I'm not interested in performing financial triage on the hospital
35:58I want to be a savior
36:01You know what I think?
36:12I think
36:13That you're mourning the loss of Xander
36:16Because you're afraid of losing your other brother too
36:19Yeah
36:23Very
36:24Insightful theory
36:27About
36:30I know I have no right to ask
36:33But
36:34The last thing I want to do is cause more trouble for Xander
36:37If what I did ever got out
36:40No
36:40No
36:41Listen
36:41You retain me on this case
36:43You're covered by attorney-client privilege
36:45And ask my friend
36:47I appreciate that
36:50Well, words to the wise
36:53I would keep your nose clean
36:55And don't get too comfortable
36:56You may have dodged a bullet this time
36:59But you have royally pissed off a lot of people
37:02Watch your back if I were you
37:13So how do we keep a workaholic doctor out of the lab?
37:17It's going to be tricky, no doubt
37:18And I promised Hila that we wouldn't do anything to jeopardize the drug's approval
37:24We can't take away hope from millions to save one man
37:29Your father wouldn't want that
37:31No
37:33No, he definitely would not
37:35Okay, so we have to be patient
37:38Hila is thinking of a workahound as we speak
37:41Well, she better hurry
37:44My dad doesn't have much time left
37:47You want to buy
37:50University Hospital
37:51Well, you've been searching high and low for a financial backer
37:55Well, here I am
37:58It's a perfect solution, is it not?
38:01Ah, maybe too perfect
38:03I mean, where's this coming from?
38:04Well, not to get all maudlin
38:07But almost dying has a way of changing your outlook on life
38:11And in my case
38:13Well, let's tap down my greed
38:17If you will
38:18Maybe you want to use my great fortune to be a better man
38:22To put some good out into the world
38:24And with your endorsement
38:26The sale of the hospital will be approved in no time
38:28So
38:29What do you say?
38:30Will you help me help you?
38:37It's a hard
38:38It's a hard pass
38:39I beg your pardon?
38:44You're right
38:44You could solve all the problems of the hospital
38:48And I would like to believe that your intentions are pure
38:51But experience tells me that they're not
38:54And if you are throwing me a lifeline
38:56That means that there's definitely going to be streets attached
38:59This is madness
39:03Do you hate my family so much
39:06That you'd let the hospital collapse?
39:10I'm actually very optimistic that we are going to succeed here
39:15How?
39:16You'll never find a bathroom time
39:17Well, you know what?
39:18That fundraiser gave us some wiggle room
39:20So we can explore other options
39:22You're being completely unreasonable
39:24You know, you are getting on my last nerve here
39:26We are done
39:28You don't have the final say on this
39:31I'll go over your head to the ball
39:32And I will recommend that they do not entertain your offer
39:37Because the thing is this
39:39I have spent decades
39:41Building up goodwill in this town
39:44Do you think you could say the same?
39:55You'll come crawling back
39:57Soon enough
39:58Pray that I'm just as generous when you do
40:02I'll be with you
40:15Where?
40:15You should do
40:16Until I was there
40:16Sundance
40:16Into the water
40:17As you can walk
40:18May Iamp
40:19You'll come at
40:21Also invade my社群
40:21Athe
40:26How do you think that?
40:28It's in there.
40:42Alex, I hope I'm not calling too late.
40:45Uh, no, no, it's okay.
40:47Did you get any more word about the drug?
40:51Not only that DiMera will never catch up with the competition in time,
40:54but I have a new plan.
40:56One that will save University Hospital,
40:59Sarah's job,
41:00and get our hands on this breakthrough treatment.
41:04What's that?
41:07We're gonna buy the hospital.
