00:00Oh, hi, honey. What a surprise.
00:14The secretary said you were in between patients.
00:17Do you have a moment?
00:18You always have a seat.
00:23Oh, what did you come to see me about?
00:29It's about Holly.
00:32Okay, what about Holly?
00:34She knows I killed her father.
00:54Hello, Tom.
01:10Is that a little girl down for her now?
01:13She is indeed.
01:15Can't you be tired of her?
01:16Thought about her too.
01:18Said her mom as well.
01:21Baby, that party was perfect, wasn't it?
01:26Our little girl's first birthday.
01:32Let me get that.
01:35Oh my gosh, I feel so nice.
01:38It's not too rough?
01:40No, it's perfect.
01:41You are.
01:44I didn't come here just to check on you and give you a perfect shoulder massage.
01:50I just wanted to remind you that we do have that appointment in a little while.
01:55Yeah, I know.
01:57Hypnosis.
02:00I risked a lot for it because now that coward EJ is no longer pursuing the case.
02:07The only way to put Brady away is for you to remember that night.
02:11And he was driving.
02:32You wouldn't imagine that a few one-year-olds could cause such chaos, would you?
02:37Our granddaughter certainly had fun.
02:41Wish I could say the same for myself.
02:44It was impossible for me to enjoy that party for obvious reasons.
02:51Please don't look at me like that.
02:53It's not as though I went through with it, smothering Sarah with a pillow.
02:59Anyway, if you're so outraged, why don't you tell me how I should stop everybody from finding out that I was behind the wheel that night?
03:08That Brady's an innocent man.
03:30Kristen, thank you for waiting.
03:33Yes, and waiting, and waiting.
03:36Yes, well, the wheels of justice sometimes grind slowly.
03:40Not that slowly.
03:42Well, it is a pity that your trumped-up charges against Brady didn't stick.
03:48It is indeed a pity that we had to let your former paramour go.
03:52But that's actually why I've summoned you down here.
03:54To give me the opportunity to gloat?
03:57No, definitely not, and I doubt there'll be much gloating when I tell you.
04:01Since I couldn't send Brady to prison, I think I'm going to send you instead.
04:18Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.
04:27I was under the impression that you actually had to commit a crime to be sent to prison.
04:42So unless you can disabuse me of that impression...
04:45Oh, I can do that easily.
04:47And I'll start by expressing my extreme frustration about having not been able to charge Brady Black due to lack of evidence.
04:55Namely, his car, which has conveniently disappeared.
04:59I recall Brady saying that it was stolen.
05:04Oh, is that how he put it?
05:06Yeah, sounds like you have a ring of car thieves on your hands.
05:10You ought to check it out.
05:13Maybe I should.
05:15Especially since this so-called ring of thieves apparently couldn't wait to get their hands on a damaged car
05:22with an incriminating license plate that happened to be a major piece of evidence in an ongoing investigation.
05:29I really don't have time for this, so just spit out whatever it is you have to say.
05:36What does Brady's car disappearing have to do with me?
05:40Oh, I thought it was obvious, since you were the one who disappeared it.
05:47Brady, your ears must have been burning.
05:51I was just telling your grandfather how you're a free man.
05:56Yeah, well it wasn't my choice to be free.
06:01Apparently my cousin Justin argued to EJ that he had to drop the case because the car is missing.
06:09Therefore the only evidence he has is my confession, which is pretty worthless considering I can't remember a damn thing.
06:17I see, so what are you doing here?
06:22I'm here to see Sarah.
06:25Brady, I don't think that's a very good idea.
06:30Oh, Eric, I can't even imagine how hard that was for you to tell Holly that you had caused her father's accident.
06:40Mom, she didn't hear it from me. I wasn't the one who told her.
06:46Oh, I thought you and Nicole had agreed you were going to let her know.
06:50Yeah, we did, and I was on my way to telling her.
06:54Tate, he broke it to her.
06:57Tate?
07:00Right before I arrived.
07:03Tate apparently broke the news to her.
07:06He thought she already knew.
07:09Oh my gosh.
07:12How did she take it?
07:14She was beyond upset.
07:16I should have, I should have told her.
07:19How did she take it?
07:20She was beyond upset.
07:22I should have, I should have told her, Mom.
07:25I should have told her a long time ago.
07:27She had every right to know.
07:29Darling, don't be so hard on yourself.
07:31You were trying to protect her.
07:34Yeah?
07:35Well, Holly sure as hell doesn't see it that way.
07:40I mean, she is angry at Nicole and me, and she has every right to be.
07:47Honey?
07:52Look, Mom, I have nothing to say to you, so you might as well stop calling me.
07:57Honey?
08:17I can tell you were talking to your mom.
08:20Yeah, she keeps calling and texting me.
08:24What's like, what's she gonna say?
08:26Sorry I lied to you your entire life?
08:28Like, how am I supposed to answer to that?
08:31Oh, it's okay.
08:32No biggie.
08:33It's just about my dad dying before I was born.
08:35All because the man that she loves and adores and worships drove drunk and killed him.
08:41Holly, I understand this is like really, really hard for you.
08:46And that you were shocked to learn the truth about your father and his death.
08:52Especially finding out the way you did from me, but maybe if you give your mom a chance to explain...
08:58What for?
08:59She's just gonna go on and on about how she did this for my own good.
09:03Same lame excuses Eric came up with.
09:06Wait, I'm sorry, you talked to my Uncle Eric?
09:09Yeah, right after I saw you.
09:12And get this, he claimed that he was just about to fill me in himself.
09:17And you obviously don't believe him.
09:19Please, no.
09:21He had no choice but to act like he was about to come clean once he realized I knew the truth.
09:26But I knew it was just another one of his lies.
09:28And I sure as hell wasn't buying it.
09:31Oh, Eric, my heart is breaking for you.
09:36I know how much you love Holly and...
09:40And how it must be upsetting you to see how upset she is right now.
09:47I also think that you and Nicole have to make a plan for how you'll handle this going forward.
09:54We haven't, not yet.
09:56I know that...
09:58Nicole, I know that she's trying to reach Holly, but Holly won't even...
10:03She won't take a phone call. She won't even respond to her texts.
10:08Well, what if... What if Nicole were here?
10:11What if they could see each other person to person?
10:15That was my first thought, too, but...
10:18Judy's had a head cold for the past few days, so Nicole, she doesn't want to put him on a plane.
10:23Yeah, well, it's a long flight from Paris.
10:29Darling, would you like me to talk to Holly?
10:35I was glad about that, too.
10:38Her first question to you is, how long have you known the truth?
10:45And I would have to tell her that I've known from the very beginning, and then she would be upset with me as well.
10:51Exactly. And her walls would go up.
10:54I only wish you'd gotten to talk to her first.
10:58You know, tell her the truth. You have... You have such a way.
11:03You're just so caring and compassionate.
11:07You might have been able to tell her in a way that she would have been able to hear it better.
11:11Yeah, well, I'd like to believe that.
11:14But I'm not so sure. It's... Nicole and I, we were so naive. We deluded ourselves.
11:20So you think that if you had waited to tell her until she had grown up,
11:26it might have been easier, that she wouldn't have been so upset and angry and hear the truth?
11:31Yeah, yeah, that's what I meant.
11:34Well, maybe it was naive.
11:38But hindsight is 20-20.
11:44There's no sense trying to go back.
11:48You and Nicole have to find a way to go forward.
11:53You have to create a relationship.
11:57Look, you both love her so much.
12:02And you love each other.
12:05And when there is love, and there is a will,
12:10there is always a way.
12:18Wow, what an act of imagination you have, AJ. Truly, truly.
12:24To think that I can make Brady's car go poof and disappear.
12:31Was my act of imagination at work when an officer on duty told me that he overheard Brady
12:39talking about how you made his car poof, just disappear?
12:46Yeah, well, either the cop is just stirring up trouble, or maybe Brady was drinking again.
12:54Brady was at the PD at the time.
12:57Where I'm quite sure they only served coffee and water and the occasional prune juice perhaps.
13:01Hilarious. You know what? I gotta be going. Busy day.
13:07And to get more specific, this particular cop was on duty when Brady had a visit with John.
13:15Apparently the walls are paper thin at the PD, and said cop heard Brady tell his father
13:23that you got rid of his car to protect him from prosecution.
13:30So you see, dear sister, I have you, as we say in the legal trade, dead to rights.
13:46Well, Victoria dropped right off. She is exhausted still from her party, obviously.
13:54I'm sure she is. Maggie, would you mind keeping an ear open for her?
13:59I'm just going to take Sarah to her appointment.
14:02Oh, of course, I'd be happy to.
14:04I'll just bring the car around you.
14:09Sure.
14:13Oh, wow, what a lovely celebration for our little angel.
14:18A year old now. Oh my goodness, it's going by so fast.
14:23It sure did. I was so proud of how chill she was too.
14:28Yes, she clearly loved the attention. She was smiling at everyone.
14:32Oh, she's an extrovert like her mom. And such a sweetheart.
14:36Like her nana.
14:38Well, whatever, wherever she gets her treats. I love that child with all my heart.
14:46Yeah, she's a keeper, that one.
14:50Sarah, that session that you have scheduled with Marlena, are you sure you're up for it?
14:59I am.
15:02Yeah, Xander thinks that the sooner I do it, the better chance I have at remembering if it was Brady behind the wheel.
15:11Sweetheart, you know Xander, he's bound to determine that Brady paid for what he did to you.
15:19But how do you feel about it?
15:23I mean, do you want that as much as Xander does?
15:34Why shouldn't I see Sarah?
15:38I'm not going to tell her that we were together the night of the accident, if that's what you're worried about.
15:44I appreciate that.
15:46I also am not going to say anything to Xander. I'll keep you completely out of it.
15:51Thank you, I assumed you would.
15:54Because it would hurt Xander and Sarah even more.
15:59That's not what I mean.
16:02The accident is still fresh in Sarah's mind, and she's very fragile emotionally.
16:08I'm sure you can understand that she's not ready to see you, Brady.
16:12It would be too triggering.
16:14Fiona, what you don't know is that Sarah and I had a good relationship before all of this happened.
16:22She understands addiction because of her mom. Her mom is my sponsor, for God's sake.
16:29I don't expect her to be forgiving. I just want to tell her that I'm sorry.
16:34To ease your guilty conscience?
16:39You think I'm being selfish?
16:42Yeah, I do, actually.
16:45Because like I said before, Sarah is in no way ready to see the person that put her in that wheelchair.
16:51And it's not just Sarah I'm worried about. It's Xander. He's furious with you.
16:55And if he finds you here, he's gonna tear you limb from limb.
17:19Darling, Holly is like a daughter to you.
17:24So you feel her pain as acutely as she does.
17:32I know you know that expression.
17:37You can only be as happy as your least happy child.
17:44So true.
17:48Well, yeah. It is and it isn't.
17:54You know, I've raised a few children, and I've learned a few things along the way.
18:01And I've learned that you can't be strong for your kids if you're tangled up in all their sorrows.
18:10And you have to remember that you must not suffer along with them.
18:17Mom, how can you not suffer along with them?
18:22Because of what I've just said. You have to be strong.
18:27Look, you're going to have failures along the way.
18:32You will feel in your heart that you have failed them.
18:35And there will be times when something you have done is what has actually caused the problem.
18:43But you just have to tell them that you did what you thought was best in the moment.
18:50Remind them that you love them and have compassion for them.
18:58And then you just give it time.
19:06Right time.
19:10Compassion and love.
19:21Oh.
19:28Holly will come back to you.
19:32She loves you.
19:35She's part of your family.
19:38And she won't be back.
19:50Oh, my God.
19:59I just I wish so much that I hadn't told you about your dad and the accident that my uncle Eric caused.
20:05Like, why couldn't I just kept my mouth shut?
20:07Hey, it's OK.
20:10None of this is your fault.
20:11I know you didn't mean to hurt me.
20:14And like I keep saying, my mom and Eric, they should have just told me a long time ago.
20:21I thought about calling to check in on you last night.
20:25Really?
20:26Well, I thought about calling you, too.
20:29Then I got distracted.
20:30My dad came home and I became a bum.
20:33Wait, your dad's home?
20:35I thought his arraignment was until this morning.
20:40I wasn't. It just got canceled.
20:43Canceled? Why?
20:46Because E.J. decided to let him go.
20:49He's not pressing charges.
20:56Brady behind bars.
21:00Does it solve anything?
21:03Does it get me walking again?
21:07I mean, what is it gonna do to you?
21:10You're his sponsor. You care about him a lot.
21:14I care about him, yes.
21:17But that shouldn't be a consideration.
21:21I want you to do what's best for you.
21:28I do want to go through with the hypnosis.
21:31OK.
21:32But not for the same reasons that Sandra wants me to do it.
21:36Not to ID Brady for the police.
21:41Well, then why?
21:45Because ever since I had that memory,
21:48that blurry image, it's just,
21:53it's been nagging at me.
21:57I need the clarity.
22:00I need to know what happened that night.
22:07OK.
22:09OK.
22:16I see you met my mother.
22:18Yes, I was just telling your cousin to leave.
22:21He's not wanted here.
22:24I'll go.
22:25I just wanted, I wanted to see Sarah and apologize, Sandra.
22:29Are you out of your mind?
22:31I'm not gonna let you anywhere near Sarah after what you did to her.
22:33I told your mother I just want to say that I'm sorry.
22:36Well, you're gonna be a lot sorrier soon, Brady.
22:39Sarah has an appointment with your step-mom.
22:41They're taking her to the hospital right now.
22:44She's seen Marlene?
22:46She is.
22:47Dr. Evans is gonna hypnotize her
22:49so she can remember seeing your drunken mug behind the car
22:52that mowed her down and left her paralyzed.
22:55And as soon as that happens,
22:57my wife's gonna get that justice that she deserves
23:01because EJ will have no choice but to nail your sorry ass to the wall.
23:09You enjoying yourself, EJ?
23:11Oh, what do you think?
23:13Oh, I think you need to give yourself a hobby.
23:16Maybe pulling the wings off flies,
23:19something that you're good at,
23:21but honestly, you're not very good at being a prosecutor.
23:26Oh, I'm about to show you just how good and talented I am.
23:36Great. You see, tampering with evidence is a serious charge, Kristen,
23:42so it's obstructing an ongoing investigation.
23:46But perhaps you're not too concerned about spending the next ten years behind bars
23:50understandable since Statesville is practically your home away from home.
23:54You're such a bastard, EJ.
23:56You can say goodbye to that cushy job at DiMera.
24:00I know everything you have worked so hard for
24:04just gone in an instant.
24:06Well, maybe everything you manipulated and schemed for.
24:11And then there's Rachel,
24:13my adorable niece.
24:18Well, you can forget those mother-daughter tea parties you're so fond of.
24:23You see, by the time you get out, you'll be lucky to see her graduate from college.
24:28And all of this for a man who has thrown you to the cubs
24:32I don't know how many times.
24:36But good news, sister.
24:39I am willing to cut you an immunity deal.
24:44The terms are simple.
24:47All you have to do
24:49is throw Brady under the bus.
25:05I'm sorry you've come home to all this chaos.
25:09But
25:11I know your brother appreciates it.
25:14Especially since he's home now, too.
25:17I'm really braced not going to prison.
25:20Even if he isn't.
25:22Yeah.
25:24Well, he would prefer to go to prison.
25:26He'd like to atone for what he's done.
25:29He thinks that's the punishment he needs.
25:32I know the feeling.
25:34I know you do.
25:39I can think of many other ways that Brady can atone.
25:43I'm sure he can, too.
25:44And I'm sure we can help him with a few ideas.
25:49I'll do whatever I can.
25:52I'm sorry. I know you have work to do.
25:55I just...
25:59For listening.
26:01For being so wise to me.
26:04I just thank God for you.
26:08As I do for you.
26:11Remember.
26:13Patience and compassion.
26:17Only will come around.
26:34All right, EJ.
26:36Let's assume, for argument's sake,
26:38that I actually done what you are accusing me of.
26:42That I disappeared Brady's car.
26:45How would that throw Brady under the bus?
26:49Well, since I doubt you just decided to get rid of the car for the fun of it,
26:56I'm guessing that Brady cried on your shoulder.
26:59Drunkenly, no doubt.
27:01And confessed to the whole terrible incident.
27:06So, my aforementioned offer is clear.
27:13Testify against Brady in open court and I won't charge you with any crimes.
27:18No mummy and me lunches with Rachel under the watchful eye of a prison guard.
27:27So, what do you say?
27:35Well, EJ.
27:40You can take your offer and you can shove it.
27:50EJ's just dropping the case? Why?
27:53Because there isn't any evidence against my dad.
27:56Yeah, but your dad literally confessed.
27:58Yeah, but apparently that isn't enough and since he can't remember what actually happened,
28:02there's no proof that he caused the accident.
28:04Oh, so your dad's just going to get away with what he did to my Aunt Sarah?
28:08Is that what you're saying?
28:14Xander, I thought you were going to go get the car.
28:19Brady?
28:21He was just leaving.
28:25I will, I will.
28:27Xander, I just wanted to say that I'm sorry.
28:33To both of you.
28:37I'm not expecting forgiveness, Sarah. I didn't come here for that.
28:42I'm never going to forgive myself anyway.
28:47It's not an excuse, it's just a reason that I'm an alcoholic.
28:54I was depressed and very weak then and I relapsed.
28:58I'm very ashamed of that, but I'm even more ashamed of the fact that I drove drunk.
29:06Not that I remember getting behind the wheel because I don't, that's how bad it was.
29:12I remember being at a bar and I was drinking, but I woke up the next morning behind the wheel of my own car.
29:20The fact that I hurt you like this and that I must have left you lying on the road, Sarah,
29:29I'll never have the words to even express the shame that I had.
29:35And I don't want you, Jada, to drop the case. I want to be punished.
29:40I need to be.
29:43But apparently my confession isn't enough, as you know.
29:55I wish I could go back and make up for the mistake.
29:58I wish I could trade places with you right now, Sarah, but I can't and I'm sorry.
30:02I just wanted to say that I was...
30:06I'm sorry.
30:08I'm going to regret it for the rest of my life.
30:12For the rest of my life.
30:33Holly, this isn't my dad's fault, I swear.
30:36I mean, that he got off on those charges.
30:38He keeps trying to tell you he wanted to be held accountable.
30:41Yeah, I'm sure he's really broken up about not going to prison.
30:45Yeah, he is, actually.
30:47Like, why do you think he confessed in the first place?
30:50It's not his fault that EJ couldn't use it.
30:52Well, it sure as hell is his fault that my aunt Sarah's paralyzed.
30:55That she's not going to be in a wheelchair for the rest of her life
30:58while your dad just gets to keep his freedom.
31:02Holly, are you sure that this is just about my dad?
31:06Who else would it be about?
31:08I don't know, I'm just...
31:10thinking maybe that this is really about how mad you are at my Uncle Eric
31:14and you're just taking it out on my dad.
31:17Don't you dare tell me how I feel or who I'm mad at.
31:22It's not what I'm trying to do, honest.
31:25I'm just worried about you.
31:31It's about last period.
31:33Yeah, I'm not going to last period.
31:39So you want me to shut my offer?
31:42Even though if you don't take it, I'll have no choice but to prosecute you.
31:47Please.
31:49You may be the lawyer in this family,
31:51but I have been in and out of my share of courtrooms
31:54to know that what that cop said is hearsay.
31:57Hmm.
31:59Maybe you skipped class that day, they covered it in law school.
32:03Question.
32:05Is that a bet you feel safe in making?
32:09Nice try, E.J.,
32:11but we both know that if what the cop said was admissible,
32:16you would be using his statement against Brady in court
32:20and not me.
32:25So, are we done?
32:27Hmm.
32:29So, are we done?
32:31Hmm?
32:33Uh, or do you have another bluff up your sleeve?
32:37No.
32:40So you're happy to let Brady get away with having paralyzed an innocent woman?
32:46Having run her over and then just left her lying in the street like some rogue?
32:52Clara, you know what?
32:54I am sorry for what happened to Sarah.
32:57But the one person that I care most about in this world is my daughter,
33:03and she will suffer if her father goes to prison.
33:13Well, yes, you may be able to sell that motherly devotion spiel to the PTA,
33:20but I'm as skilled at spouting a bluff as you are.
33:27Meaning what?
33:29Meaning you're obviously still in love with Brady.
33:42I, uh, I just want to say,
33:47Brady, I appreciate you coming by and saying all that you did.
33:54And Lord knows, I'm in no position to judge.
33:59I mean, if anyone can understand how insidious this disease can be, it's me.
34:08But I am heartbroken as your sponsor that you didn't come to me for help.
34:17And I know that there is no point in looking back.
34:28We all need to just move forward.
34:34And I have no doubt that your regret about what happened that night,
34:40it's genuine and it's heartfelt.
34:48I should have called you that night, Maggie.
34:52Um, but I realized, I'm ashamed that I didn't do that.
34:57I really should have called you.
34:59I don't expect you to say anything to me. You don't have to.
35:02I just wanted to say that I was very, very sorry to you.
35:07All right, that's it. I'll let you have your say.
35:11I have respect for Sarah and for Maggie.
35:13You and her would get angry at me if I didn't let you grovel.
35:15But we have an appointment to get to, so.
35:18I'm sorry.
35:20I'm sorry.
35:22I'm sorry.
35:24I'm sorry.
35:26I'm sorry.
35:28We have an appointment to get to, so.
35:31If the Sarah remembers that night, you groveling to the DA.
35:36Come on, Doc.
35:59Uncle Eric?
36:03Hey, hey.
36:05Are you here to give me a ride home?
36:07Sorry, no, actually, I was, uh, I'm hoping to find Holly.
36:12Oh, uh, yeah, I don't think that she's going to want to talk to you.
36:17She's actually, she's pretty upset.
36:20Yeah, I know that much.
36:22Not just with you and her mom.
36:24She and I just got into this argument.
36:29She's upset because she found out my dad was getting released from jail.
36:34I see.
36:36And then she just took off for the last period.
36:39I have no idea where she went.
36:50Holly?
36:52Hi.
36:53Uh, your assistant said I could wait in here for you.
36:56That's okay. Everything okay?
36:58No, everything's not okay.
37:01I heard you let Brady Black go free.
37:05I'm sorry, Holly, I just didn't have the evidence to prosecute him.
37:11What if I help you find some?
37:23Okay.
37:47Kristen, what are you...
37:49I just came to warn you.
37:52You know, just because you're free doesn't mean you don't need to be careful.
37:58EJ is out for blood and he's out for yours.
38:02He is bound and determined to prove that you were the one driving the car.
38:07So is Sarah in with Dr. Evans right now?
38:10She is, with any luck.
38:13Soon.
38:15She'll remember whose face she saw behind that wheel.
38:26Hey, they asked to make a phone call.
38:29Okay.
38:32I have asked my assistant to make sure that we are not disturbed.
38:37Thank you, Marlena.
38:40I imagine that you're a little bit conflicted about this since Brady's your stepson.
38:46No.
38:48If I were conflicted, I wouldn't be doing this.
38:53My interest is in finding out the truth about what happened.
39:00About what happened the night of the accident.
39:08Okay.
39:10I'm ready to see what happened that night.
39:14I'm ready.
39:17I need to know.
39:20I need to know who was behind that wheel.
39:24I need to know who hit me.
39:29I need to know.
