Young & The Restless Transcript
Transcript provided by Suzanne and Thane
Oh, Kyle, this is beautiful. Hm. I’m so grateful that Jack and Diane offered to babysit so we could keep our date. Oh, believe me, no one is happier than Harrison. Oh, I’m not sure about that. Your parents both seemed pretty psyched about movie night with their grandson. They’re planning on using him to settle a long-standing argument. I thought Jack and Diane were getting along well. They are, and they still have their differences. Such as? They can’t agree on the definitive James Bond. My dad says Sean Connery, mom says Roger Moore, so they’re gonna watchGoldfinger, thenLive and Let Die. Let Harrison be the judge. To be honest, I’ve never seen any of those movies. Are they age-appropriate? They promised they would skip the questionable parts. You really haven’t seen them? You’re more of a romantic comedy type, aren’t you? Sure. Although, I’m not immune to the charms of a handsome, dashing man of mystery. If you keep looking at me like that, I’m gonna tell you all my secrets. I can’t wait to hear them. Champagne? Yeah. James Bond drank martinis. I’ve never had one of those. Maybe next time. What are we celebrating? I’m celebrating the fact that tonight… I finally get to spend some alone time with you. Come here. [Kyle sighing] Kyle, um… I know that this probably isn’t the best time, but… we really need to talk.
Hey, Vic.
VICTORIA: Hey. Thanks for meeting me. You know that we’re all here for you, Nick. So, any news at all about Phyllis or Sharon? I mean, Chance is doing everything he can to find them, but so far, he’s come up with nothing. You don’t know for sure if either one of them is in trouble. You’re right. You’re right. They could be fine. You know, they could walk through that door, but I know at this point, that’s just wishful thinking. It’s just, it’s so unlike Phyllis to stay off the radar. Especially after everything that went down with Sharon. She knows better than to not call anyone back. Though, it’s not outside of character for either one of them to resist what they might see as overprotectiveness. They both could be just ignoring me on their phones to teach me a lesson. I don’t know. I don’t know which one of them is more stubborn at this point. Well, they’re very lucky to have you looking out for them. We all are. Oh, it’s been quite a year for this family. Sure has. It’s getting harder and harder to stay positive with everything that’s been thrown at us. But we have to. We have to lean on each other and stay strong for our kids. So, if something is wrong, that’s what Phyllis and Sharon would want you to do. Oh, my God. Phyllis, you need to hang on. Think about your kids. There– there’s so much pain. It feels like I drank battery acid. Phyllis, you need to drink this. It’s the only bottle that was different than the others.
It has a yellow sticker on it.
Oh. Phyllis? Oh, my God. Oh, my God, whoever did this, whoever did this, it feels like, it feels like– like my heart is beating out of my chest. Oh, God. Your– your pulse is racing. Oh. I– I felt like those lunges would prepare me for what my body was gonna go through. Oh, my God, it’s so stupid. I am sure that this is the answer to the riddle. I’m the beginning and the end, though you can’t see me. The poison, it was in the water. That was the beginning when you drank it. When you drink the water again, that will be the end. What if it’s the end for me? Here. Here. No. Seriously, what if that bastard did this, and if I drink that, it’s game over? They said that this is a game. You and I both agreed that if they were going to kill us, they would have done it by now. Whatever is going through my insides right now, maybe it’s just game over for me. Did I get the answer right? Did I solve the riddle? Is that the antidote? [Phyllis gasping] It is clear that Phyllis trusts me less than she trusts you, so you need to answer me right now! Uh-uh. I’m sorry to interrupt. No, you’re not. Is there a problem, Summer? Kyle, it’s about Harrison. Harrison’s fine. In fact, he’s more than fine. Harrison is upstairs with my parents, watching movies, eating popcorn and gummy worms, getting spoiled rotten. SUMMER: I know that. But there’s something that we need to discuss as his parents. Can we just step away for a few minutes and talk, please? We just sat down. It’s okay, Kyle. I understand. If this really is about Harrison. Yeah, it is. Then, our date can wait. I will step aside and let the two of you talk.
Thank you, Claire.
Yeah. [Kyle and Summer sighing] Okay. What is it? What’s wrong, Summer? Kyle, I’m concerned about what Harrison might hear about my mom at school. It looks like she really is missing. Wait, you still haven’t heard from your mother? No. And Chance is doing everything that he can to find her, but the thing is that there are other cops on the force who have kids in Harrison’s class. And they could overhear something at the dinner table from their parents, which could make its way back to our son. There’s nothing we can do about that, but I just don’t want Harrison to be afraid that something bad has happened to his grandma, you know? He’s a sensitive kid. He’s probably already picked up on what you’re feeling. He has. He’s already asked me some questions. I mean, he was supposed to have a playdate with my mom yesterday. He wanted to teach her how to play ping-pong. Phyllis playing ping-pong. Now that’s an image that can’t help but make you smile. She’s gonna be okay, Summer. I really hope that you’re right, but the fact is… we don’t know. And I know that Harrison still remembers being taken from his room by Jordan. And that could lead to some equally scary thoughts about what could be happening to your mom. Do you think that I’m being crazy overprotective right now? When you’re a mom, is there really such a thing? Listen, I will think about some things to say to Harrison if he hears about Phyllis. No, no, I don’t think that we should wait until after the fact, Kyle. Yes, let’s hope for the best, but we need to prepare for the worst. Kyle, we need to talk to our son tonight. You’re right, of course. I keep telling Summer, Faith, and Noah that they don’t need to worry about their moms, but kids, no matter how old they are, they pick up on stuff. That just reminds me how incredible our parents are, you know? How strong they are for us every single day despite everything that they’ve gone through. They always manage to put on a brave face. Yeah, I was talking to Billy about that earlier. You were? NICK: Yeah. I went by his place just to see if he had heard from Phyllis, and, um, you know, he picked up on what I was going through and how badly I want to be there for my kids. You’re both great fathers. You have that in common. I’m sorry. I know it must be hard. You always have to be the one who’s always there for everyone. It’s all right. I do my best. You don’t always have to be so strong, you know that? It would be nice if there was, like, a day or two where everything didn’t fall apart, you know, so I didn’t have to worry about everyone. Look. I actually believe that that day is coming soon. There are some really good things happening right now. Remind me again what those are. Well, Dad is recovering nicely from his gunshot wound and Mom, I mean, she’s sober now, and she’s taking Chancellor to new heights. Claire, she’s finally rid of Jordan, thank God. And she’s working at Chancellor, and she’s turning heads. Look, I know that Sharon and Phyllis are gonna reach out soon, and we’re just gonna find out that this was some big misunderstanding. I hope you’re right. And I am grateful for all the good things that are in our lives, I am. But, Vic, I’m telling you, I got this sinking feeling in my gut that Sharon and Phyllis are in real danger. Oh, God, this feeling, it’s not going away. Damn it! What, are you shocked by this? This lunatic probably likes this. Am I putting on a show for you? You like watching me die! You’re not gonna die, Phyllis. I’m not gonna let that happen. Like you have a say. All of the other bottles were identical. Drinking the one that was marked is the only option. You think I trust you more than this lunatic? You think I’m trying to poison you now? You tried to poison my son’s whiskey. I was trying to get rid of that bottle of poisoned alcohol when Heather walked in. God. Maybe you want to finish the job. Maybe you– maybe you have the guts for premeditated murder now, Sharon. Look at me. Why? Why do you want me to look at you? So I can see the murderous look in your eyes? Is that why? Do you remember the last time you accused me of trying to kill you? I thought you tried to run me off the road, yes. Right. And you were wrong about me then. And you’re wrong about me now. Drink. No. I can’t. No. No. No. So, you want to die out of spite? That’s what I’m gonna tell your kids. I’m gonna tell Summer and Daniel and Lucy that you would rather lose your life than to have me be right about something. I can’t force you to drink that. This is your call. Oh, my God. Give it to me. Whether it kills me or not, at least I don’t have to listen to you. I don’t have to listen to you and your self-righteous know-it-all voice anymore. Shut up! [Phyllis gasping] It’s Mariah. In the last hour, I’ve gotten texts from her, Faith, Summer, and Noah. They all want updates on their moms and I can’t give them to them. You’re worried that they’re gonna hear the worry in your voice. I’m just trying to keep everyone calm, you know? But I also don’t want to give them false hope. I don’t blame them for being freaked out after what Ian and Jordan put Sharon and Phyllis through. I tell them and myself, like you said, we don’t know that they’re in trouble. That’s the truth. Sharon said she was taking some personal time, and Phyllis said that she was gonna be away on business. I’m trying to get them to take them at their word, at least until we get more information. I guess I could lie to them. But you can’t lie to yourself. I can tell from the look on your face that you’re 100% convinced that Phyllis and Sharon need your help, aren’t you? Well, I’m with you on that. You know, it’s like you can tell your kids the same thing that I’ve been telling Lucy. Everything’s fine, there’s nothing to worry about, but then you try and you tell yourself that, and you’re just not buying it. Phyllis. Phyllis. Still here. [Sharon sighing] So, whatever was in that bottle, it did the trick. I don’t know. I feel horrible. Oh, God, I feel like I swallowed a whole tackle box of fish hooks and it’s being pulled out of my stomach. Maybe drink some more. Maybe the dose you need is the whole bottle. Can’t get any worse, right? Where? Drink all of it. Okay, anything? If that was my last meal, I want a do over. It tasted horrible. Maybe it’ll take a little while for it to work. Maybe. Maybe you should get up, move around. Ugh. Are you trying to make me vomit? Just get your circulation going so that the antidote gets into your system faster. I feel– I feel so faint from the pain. Here, let me help you. You can lean on me. Come on. Oh, God.
I feel so sick.
SHARON: Let’s go. Hey, I gotta do this. Yeah. Here you go. Okay. How are you doing? No, I can’t, I can’t, I can’t do this. I gotta sit down. I’m so– I’m so weak. I can’t. What is it? More pain? I think it’s fading. Look, I know that my mom can take care of herself, but it’s just… It’s driving me crazy not knowing where she is and if she’s okay and I’m… I’m just trying to focus on the things that I can control. I get that you want to protect Harrison. I do, but I don’t see the urgency. I don’t think we should interrupt his movie night with my parents. And why bring this up when there’s a chance that he might not even hear about this? But what if he does? Kyle, don’t you remember the nightmares that he had after his kidnapping? Do you want our little boy to feel even a moment of being afraid or confused again? [Kyle sighing] You’re right. You’re right. [Summer sighing] I’m– I’m sorry that I wrecked your romantic dinner with Claire. We’ll go upstairs and talk to Harrison. Kyle, look, I really appreciate you hearing me on this. Yeah, we promised each other that going forward, Harrison would always come first. I have every intention of keeping that promise. Hm. Now, it feels like I’m the one who’s interrupting. Do the two of you need more time? I’m sorry, Claire. Summer made me realize we need to tell Harrison about Phyllis. And it really can’t wait. We’re worried that if he hears about Phyllis, it’ll trigger the memories of his own kidnapping. I know how worried you are about your mom. And I also know firsthand about the trauma that Harrison experienced when my Aunt Jordan kidnapped us both. So, I totally understand. You go do what you need to do. Yeah, I don’t think it’ll take long. You mind waiting here for me? Not at all. Are you sure? I– I don’t want to hold you up. And I also don’t want to rush our talk with Harrison. Maybe you could reschedule? Take all the time you need. I’ll just, uh, wait here at the bar for you.
KYLE: Great. Thank you.
CLAIRE: Mm-hmm. Hi. I will have a sparkling water, please. Actually… I’m going to live dangerously. I’ll have a martini. Daniel, there’s no point in any of us jumping to worst case scenarios. Nick’s right. We don’t know for a fact that anything’s happening to Phyllis or Sharon. We don’t know that. But, I mean, we all feel it, right? Look, I appreciate the two of you trying to calm me down, but I just overheard where you’re at with this, Nick. I didn’t say that I’ve lost hope. But it is getting harder and harder to explain why the two of them have been AWOL for so long. Maybe that’s because there is no explanation. Maybe whatever they’re dealing with is a whole hell of a lot less than innocent. I mean, what if we never see my mother or Sharon again? Better? What’s better? We’re never going to see our kids again? Don’t say that. Your pain stopped. That had to be the antidote. We passed the test. What test? I’m not brimming with optimism. Can we not celebrate for at least five minutes that you didn’t die? Yeah, sure, let’s celebrate. We’re being imprisoned against our will by some crazy, psychotic, wannabe game show host. That’s the truth. Hey! Hey, let’s make a deal! Let us go, and I swear when I see you, I won’t rip your eyes out. I’ll be really gentle with you. Nothing? Hey, we saved your life. We won. We won, but what about next round? [feedback blaring] MODULATED VOICE:Well done, Sharon. You solved the riddle. Hey, listen, before you tell us what our prize is, can you please just walk away from the microphone so we don’t get that feedback anymore, please? SHARON: This is getting out of control. We agreed to play your game. I didn’t agree to anything. But physically hurting one of us, that is out of bounds. If we’re going to play, can we at least play nice? [feedback blaring] I’ll take that as a no. They wanted me to save you. Okay, well, I’m all for giving homicidal lunatics the benefit of the doubt. No, Phyllis, this was a part of the game. Okay, if the game was, let’s put Phyllis in the most excruciating pain possible. I could have just as easily been the one who drank the poison. The voice had no way of knowing which one of us would pick up the tainted bottle. That’s true. It couldn’t be me, writhing on the floor, losing all hope, praying for death just to take the pain away. It makes me wonder… if it had been me, would you have saved me? Thanks. Hm, that’s strong. I guess James Bond is a little tougher than me. Somehow, I doubt that. What you’re drinking there is straight alcohol. Ian Fleming’s protagonists drink Vespers. He drank Italian scooters? That’s Vespa, which I’m sure he chased plenty of those in his time. Vesper, you can drink without a chaser. It’s still a martini, but when you add a little Lillet instead of vermouth, it changes everything. May I? Uh, two Vespers, shaken, not stirred. After everything you’ve done to my family… maybe death by poison is what you deserve. Are you shocked to hear me say that? No, not at all. I just don’t believe you. You think I’m a liar. Oh, I know that you hate me, Phyllis, but I don’t believe that you would just stand idly by while my life hangs in the balance. Maybe I wouldn’t have figured it out. Maybe I wouldn’t have unraveled the riddle. Maybe. I mean, because clearly I’m not as smart as you, Sharon. Maybe so, but you did figure out that last riddle pretty quickly. Yeah, I did. Look, if this is the way you want to play it, it’s fine with me. If hating me is the distraction you need right now, I’m good with it. I know that you’re concerned, but never seeing them again? From what Nick said– I’ve been in constant communication with Chance. You know, he’s called in a bunch of favors to friends on the force. They’re using a ton of resources to try and find my mother and Sharon, and they’ve come up with absolutely nothing. I don’t have to tell you what this is doing to Summer.
No, you don’t.
Yeah. Because, you know, she’s freaking out. She’s worried that Harrison might overhear something at school, and it’s going to trigger everything that happened with him and Jordan. And my own daughter is starting to ask me questions like, “Why isn’t Grandma texting me back?” So, I can’t really send her off on tour with her grandfather again without tipping her off that something’s wrong here. You’re not thinking of telling her that? Not unless I have to. Look, if you think it will help, I’ll have Johnny reach out to her, have her come out to the ranch. Yeah. Yeah, actually, that might be nice. She’s been through a lot lately. You’re a good dad, Daniel. You just have to trust your instincts. Well, my instincts right now are telling me that this is very bad. I mean, I don’t understand how this can be happening all over again. Yeah, I know. I’ve got a lot of questions too. Maybe we’re about to get some answers. Hey. Hi, you guys are both here. I, uh, have some news about Sharon and Phyllis. That’s better. That’s much better. I had a feeling you’d like it. So this is your drink of choice? Well, mine and Mr. Bond’s. What’s in it? Or, let me guess. You’ll tell me, but then you’ll have to kill me, right? Mm, fortunately, a signature cocktail is the only thing I have in common with a licensed killer. Fortunately. What you’re drinking there is gin, vodka, and Lillet, which is a white wine liqueur flavored with fruit and a hint of quinine. Quinine? Isn’t that a poison? In large doses, yes. Yet you drink it by choice. Well, they say, “Pick your poison.” This is mine. Maybe mine too. That whole vodka martini thing, that’s just for the Bond films. Sean Connery or Roger Moore? Mm, Daniel Craig. I’ve never actually seen any of the films. But I do know who Daniel Craig is. He’s very sexy. I would say skip the movies, read the books instead. You’re into spy fiction? My best friend makes fun of me for it. He’s partial to 19th century French literature. Sounds fun. He has his moments. I’m Holden. Claire. Oh, looks like Claire has made a new friend. Excuse me. Claire. Hey. How’d it go with Harrison? We prepared him in case he hears something. We told him that Phyllis might be out of town, which could be true. And if not, we figured a little white lie wouldn’t hurt. We just don’t want him to be scared. I think you did the right thing. Well, thanks for doing that with me, Kyle. We’ll talk later, okay? Good night. Good night. Is that a martini? It’s actually a Vesper. James Bond drinks them in the books. This gentleman introduced me to them. As you both know, the GCPD surveillance team has been working with Newman Security on this. Yeah, going over the CCTV footage. I thought you came up short. We did, but we expanded the scope a bit and had more to sift through. Appreciate the extra eyes, by the way. Yeah, of course. Anything that will find Phyllis and Sharon. If they need to be found. Well, we now have evidence that suggests they do. What evidence? We have footage of your mom leaving the Athletic Club. Now, we’re able to track her progress for a little bit, but she turns a corner and we lose her. Moments later, a white van with no windows comes around that corner and drives down the street. I don’t really like the sound of that, Chance. Same day, not ten minutes later, we got Sharon leaving the Cassidy First offices on tape. Heads for the parking lot where her car is, but we both know her car didn’t leave that parking lot. Another one did, though.
Same white van, no windows?
Right. Now, between you guys and mine, Nick, we have some sophisticated software that allowed us to scan the rest of the footage. And? Well, since then, there’s been no sight of Phyllis or Sharon. So, you still hate me and I still hate you. And, you know, even though I’m sure you will claim that I’m only saying this to make a point that I’m a bigger person, I’m going to say it anyway. I’m glad you’re okay. And I know that you will deny this until your dying day, which is not today, but I do believe that if the tables were turned, you would have done the same for me. So, you are saying you think my brush with death brought me closer to forgiving you for everything you put me and my family through? Did it? I’ll go on record saying that I don’t know if I’ll ever even forgive myself for everything I put Daniel through in the wake of Heather’s death. There’s that. And I know that it can’t make up for all of the pain that caused you, but surely saving your life is worth something, right? Sharon. Oh, I mean, I know you want to have a talk right now. Just… Oh. I’m so exhausted. I’m so exhausted from what my body just went through. I just, I want to… Oh, God. How can I relax in this hole? SHARON: You will. You will sleep. And you will be safe. Because I’ll be watching over you. Thank you. For what? Thank you for saving my life. You’re welcome. Sorry, again, about the interruption. You have nothing to apologize for. You know how much I adore Harrison. Almost as much as you adore his father? Don’t make me choose. Yeah, Summer puts on a strong front, but I can tell she’s really scared about her mom. Really, I get it. It’s okay for you to look out for your son and your son’s mother. I’m not threatened by her. Is that liquid courage? Do I have any reason to need it when it comes to us? None at all. Besides, we don’t even know if Phyllis is in trouble, so I would like to redirect all of my focus back to you. I like the sound of that.
KYLE: Yeah.
Do you want a taste? Oof, not my thing, but I’m glad you’re enjoying it. I think I might have another. Oh. You sure about that? It’s kind of hard to tell how hard it’s hitting me because I always feel a little lightheaded when I’m around you. Oh. So, someone took Sharon and my mother. Someone who has a white van. We find it, we find them. We ran the plates. The van is registered to a medical supply company, and it turns out it was reported stolen from its main lot the morning that Sharon and Phyllis disappeared. You know where this van is now? We don’t know yet, but we’re all hands on deck.
I promise you that.
Yeah, but this is something. We suspected this was happening, and now that we know it and we have a lead, we are going to find Phyllis and Sharon and bring them home. Get some rest, Phyllis. I think we’re going to need it. MODULATED VOICE: Again, well done, Sharon. You’re one step closer to liberation. What the hell does that mean? Why are you doing this? I know this is a game to you, but what is your goal here? Why does it matter so much to you that Phyllis and I reconcile? What’s in it for you? MODULATED VOICE: The satisfaction of accomplishment. So, this is personal? Some achievement that you want to check off of a list? Do we know you? MODULATED VOICE: This isn’t personal. My position is objective. Think of this as an experiment and nothing more. So, we’re just your lab rats? We mean nothing else other than that? What is it you mean when you say liberation? Does that mean that we will be set free from this place at some point? If we win, is that our prize? Or do you have something else in mind? MODULATED VOICE: You should rest too, Sharon. Tomorrow is going to be a busy day for the two of you. But… [feedback blaring] [Sharon screaming] What? What? What is it? I don’t think we’re getting out of here anytime soon.
