To hell with it all.\u00a0OK. Hold on, hold on.\u00a0 I thought Rafe said if-if Clyde Weston was captured,\u00a0 that he might be able to corroborate\u00a0 that his man Gil killed Li.\u00a0Yeah.\u00a0 Well, you know what?\u00a0 That&#8217;s a pipe dream, Kristen.\u00a0 Because even if Clyde is caught,\u00a0 which is a big if, and even if he knows something about Li&#8217;s\u00a0 murder, another big if, what makes you think he would\u00a0 lift a finger to help me?\u00a0 If he&#8217;s captured, I&#8217;m the reason he gets convicted.\u00a0 So why all of a sudden would he decide\u00a0 to have a change of heart and help Gabi get out of prison?\u00a0So what, then?\u00a0 You&#8217;re just going to tunnel her out?\u00a0Figuratively speaking, yeah.\u00a0Yeah?\u00a0 And when is this great escape supposed to take place, hmm?\u00a0It&#8217;s already in the works.\u00a0 My guy says it could be done imminently.\u00a0 And then Gabi and I will ride off into the sunset,\u00a0 never to be seen or heard from again.\u00a0Huh.\u00a0 Yeah, right.\u00a0 No, Stefan, I am afraid I can&#8217;t let this happen.\u00a0 [tense music]<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Chad, what did Clyde say?\u00a0OK.\u00a0 So I accused him of going to the mansion\u00a0 that night with the sole purpose of killing Abigail.\u00a0 He didn&#8217;t deny it.\u00a0Oh.\u00a0 [sighs] Well, we suspected it.\u00a0 Now we know.There&#8217;s more.\u00a0More?\u00a0So he may have gone to the mansion that night\u00a0 to kill Abigail.\u00a0 But then in the end&#8211;\u00a0But then what?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Julie&#8211;\u00a0 he said that Abigail is still alive.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>I am your wife, Johnny.\u00a0 We are supposed to be a team.\u00a0 How could you even think about turning down your dream job\u00a0 without talking to me first?\u00a0Because I&#8217;m an idiot, OK?\u00a0 All right? I&#8217;m sorry.\u00a0 I&#8217;m sorry.\u00a0 I should have told you sooner.\u00a0 My grandma said the same thing.\u00a0You told your grandma before telling me?\u00a0 How many other people know?\u00a0OK.\u00a0 Look, Chanel, I&#8217;m sorry, OK?\u00a0 I&#8217;m sorry.\u00a0 I didn&#8217;t expect to get this job offer,\u00a0 a job offer that would require us to move , miles away.\u00a0 I mean, sure, when it first came in,\u00a0 I was, like, ecstatic, you know?\u00a0 I couldn&#8217;t believe it.\u00a0 But then-I panicked.\u00a0 Salem is our home, you know?\u00a0 It&#8217;s where your bakery is.\u00a0 It&#8217;s where our families are.\u00a0 We&#8217;ve built our lives in Salem.\u00a0 We&#8217;re happy here.\u00a0 And you are happy here, and that&#8217;s all I really want.\u00a0 I just want to make you happy.\u00a0 That&#8217;s my most important job.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s-that&#8217;s really sweet, Johnny.\u00a0 But if you wanted to turn the job down,\u00a0 you would have done it already.\u00a0[sighs] Yeah.\u00a0 And part of me does want to turn it down.\u00a0But?\u00a0Part of me doesn&#8217;t.\u00a0 I&#8217;m obviously conflicted, which is why you\u00a0 need to make this decision.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Um, you know what?\u00a0 I, uh, got some stuff to take care of in the office.\u00a0 I&#8217;ll be back.\u00a0Why do I get the feeling Roman wouldn&#8217;t be too happy\u00a0 if my sentence was shortened?\u00a0Oh, if?\u00a0 If?\u00a0 Is Harris flaking on you?\u00a0I don&#8217;t know, Mom.\u00a0 I don&#8217;t know where I stand.\u00a0Why is that?\u00a0Because Harris is busy.\u00a0 He&#8217;s busy processing Clyde.\u00a0 He hasn&#8217;t told me anything.\u00a0 I haven&#8217;t talked to him since, you know,\u00a0 this whole thing ended.\u00a0 Chad-Chad had to fly me home.\u00a0What was Chad doing there?\u00a0A long story.\u00a0 Anyway, I don&#8217;t know what&#8217;s going to happen with me.\u00a0 I have no idea.\u00a0 The more time goes by, I just can only assume the worst.\u00a0Oh my god.\u00a0 I don&#8217;t know why the hell I ever trusted Harris.\u00a0Just keep it down.\u00a0 Keep it down, OK?\u00a0 We&#8217;re in the middle of the pub.\u00a0 Technically I am still a fugitive, so&#8230;\u00a0OK. You&#8217;re right.\u00a0 You&#8217;re right.\u00a0 We should really get going.\u00a0 Let&#8217;s get you right back into hiding, OK?\u00a0Clyde said what?\u00a0That, uh-that Abigail is still alive.\u00a0Oh, God!\u00a0Look, I had a gun to his head.\u00a0 So, you know, he may have said anything to prevent me\u00a0 from shooting him. I don&#8217;t know.\u00a0You assume it&#8217;s a lie?\u00a0Well, Lucas thinks so, yeah.\u00a0Well, what the hell do you think?\u00a0I don&#8217;t-I, um&#8211;\u00a0 you know, I think that it probably is.\u00a0 I do.\u00a0 Oh, but, Julie, there&#8217;s a small part of me that&#8211;\u00a0 that hopes that, um&#8211;\u00a0 that it&#8217;s true.\u00a0 Yeah.\u00a0Darling.\u00a0Yeah.\u00a0[sighs]\u00a0I didn&#8217;t even know your sister&#8217;s ex.\u00a0 How should I know who killed him?\u00a0Well, Li&#8217;s blood was found on your little black book.\u00a0[chuckles] Well, surely you&#8217;re not\u00a0 accusing me of murder.\u00a0 I was incarcerated in November, as I&#8217;m sure you recall.\u00a0Oh, right.\u00a0 Yeah.\u00a0 But your associate Gil, his bloody fingerprint\u00a0 was also found on that little black book,\u00a0 which was hidden at the Bistro,\u00a0 where he ran your drug operation.\u00a0Yeah.\u00a0 But you see, Gil is dead.\u00a0 Ava Vitali killed him.\u00a0 Are you not keeping up on the crimes\u00a0 committed in your jurisdiction, Commissioner?\u00a0Oh, I am well aware of them.\u00a0 Thank you.\u00a0 But since I can&#8217;t talk to a dead man,\u00a0 I figured I&#8217;d go right to the top&#8211;\u00a0 to the boss.\u00a0 So what did Gil tell you about the night\u00a0 Li was murdered, hmm?\u00a0 Any chance that, uh, you could corroborate his guilt?\u00a0[sighs] Well,\u00a0 let&#8217;s just say I could.\u00a0 What&#8217;s in it for me?\u00a0 [tense music]<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>What the hell do you mean, Kristen?\u00a0 You can&#8217;t let me do this?\u00a0 Gabi is my wife.\u00a0 I don&#8217;t need your permission to help rescue her.\u00a0Stefan, you and I had an agreement.\u00a0 I will help you clear Gabi&#8217;s name.\u00a0 You back me up as CEO of DiMera.\u00a0I backed you, and I am still backing you.\u00a0OK.\u00a0 What are you going to do?\u00a0 You&#8217;re going to continue as a fugitive from the law?<\/p>\n<p>I have been planting seeds for months.\u00a0 It&#8217;s practically a done deal.\u00a0Oh, you know what?\u00a0 Practically doesn&#8217;t work for me.\u00a0 You waited a long time to pull the trigger on freeing Gabi.\u00a0 What&#8217;s a few more weeks?\u00a0 You don&#8217;t want EJ in the job, do you?\u00a0Of course not.\u00a0 But if Clyde is captured, he will go back to making\u00a0 Gabi&#8217;s life a living hell.\u00a0 And now that I&#8217;ve turned on him, I can&#8217;t take that risk.\u00a0OK.\u00a0 Well, you might just have to.\u00a0 Because after everything I have done for Gabi,\u00a0 I can&#8217;t risk you not coming through for me.\u00a0 So we are at a stalemate here, brother.\u00a0Not how I see it.\u00a0[chuckles] All right.\u00a0 Well, then how about this?\u00a0 [clears throat] If you insist on going through\u00a0 with this idiotic jailbreak plan, I&#8217;m going to go\u00a0 tell your wife that you slept with Ava Vitali.\u00a0 [tense music]<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>You want me to make the decision for you\u00a0 on your job offer?\u00a0 Johnny, I just got through telling you we&#8217;re a team.\u00a0Yeah, but I&#8217;d be uprooting you\u00a0 from your life for my dream.\u00a0[sighs]\u00a0I mean, what if you&#8217;re miserable because of me?\u00a0What, so I&#8217;m supposed to crush your dreams?\u00a0 What if you&#8217;re miserable because of me?\u00a0 [gentle music]\u00a0 Look, Johnny.\u00a0 I can bake cookies anywhere, OK?\u00a0 They have flour and milk and chocolate chips in California\u00a0 too, I assume.\u00a0 And I mean, Sweet Bits LA, it sounds kind of nice,\u00a0 don&#8217;t you think?\u00a0Yeah, but&#8211;\u00a0But nothing, OK?\u00a0 And you know, getting a little further away from Mama\u00a0 might not be such a bad thing.\u00a0 So I say if you want the job, I think you should take it.\u00a0Yeah.\u00a0 The problem is, I don&#8217;t know if I want to take it\u00a0 for reasons I can&#8217;t quite articulate.\u00a0OK.\u00a0 Well, try.\u00a0You know, my-my whole life,\u00a0 I wanted to be the next Fellini,\u00a0 which sounds grandiose,\u00a0 I know.\u00a0 And it totally is, because I mean,\u00a0 what have I actually ever done, you know?\u00a0 A couple of Super\u00a0 movies when I was a kid, some demo reels.\u00a0OK.\u00a0 So what?\u00a0 Every great director started out as a dorky kid\u00a0 with a little camera.\u00a0Yeah, I know.\u00a0 But when I actually tried to put something together\u00a0 as an adult, my grandma&#8217;s life story, I mean,\u00a0 the whole project went to hell, literally.\u00a0Well, you know, maybe that&#8217;s what sets you apart.\u00a0 I mean, how many directors can say\u00a0 that the actual devil interfered\u00a0 with the production?\u00a0Yeah, I don&#8217;t know.\u00a0 It-it honestly felt more like a sign, you know,\u00a0 like I was dabbling in something\u00a0 I wasn&#8217;t supposed to be.\u00a0Oh, come on, Johnny.\u00a0And what if I can&#8217;t cut it?\u00a0 You know, Hollywood is cutthroat.\u00a0 What if I&#8217;m just some spoiled rich kid\u00a0 with some inflated notion of himself,\u00a0 completely delusional and pathetic?\u00a0Where is all this self-doubt coming from?\u00a0I don&#8217;t know.\u00a0 It&#8217;s just-how&#8217;d all this happen so fast, you know?\u00a0 What if I&#8217;m not ready?\u00a0 And now I have you and the baby to think about.\u00a0 And

Thank you, Julie.\u00a0 I appreciate it.\u00a0What&#8217;s happened?\u00a0 I mean, you were out before on some special dispensation\u00a0 in disguise, but this time you&#8217;re not.\u00a0 Does that mean that you&#8217;re free and clear now?\u00a0I&#8217;m not too sure about that.\u00a0Oh, gosh.\u00a0 Well, then it must be a risk coming to see me.\u00a0It was.\u00a0 It was.\u00a0 But there&#8217;s no way I&#8217;m going back to prison\u00a0 without saying goodbye to you first.\u00a0[clicks tongue]\u00a0[laughs] Well, look at who&#8217;s here.\u00a0 The commissioner sent you in to have a little chat with me?\u00a0 [tense music]<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>[sighs] You and I never finished our conversation.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>You need to start talking.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Or else what?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Thank you for believing in me, Chanel.\u00a0Of course.\u00a0 This baby and I are here for you %, no matter what.\u00a0Right back at you.\u00a0And, Johnny, I&#8217;m sorry that I got a little bit salty before.\u00a0No.\u00a0 No, that&#8217;s OK.\u00a0 You were, uh-you were right to be upset.\u00a0 I don&#8217;t know why I didn&#8217;t tell you about the job\u00a0 offer sooner.<\/p>\n<p>So-what are you thinking now?<\/p>\n<p>[sighs]\u00a0Kate, why would you ask me if I am really sorry Lucas\u00a0 is going back to prison?\u00a0 He&#8217;s my stepson.\u00a0 I want what&#8217;s best for him.\u00a0 I supported him through this whole damn thing, Kate.<\/p>\n<p>I know.\u00a0 You did.\u00a0 And you went above and beyond,\u00a0 and I&#8217;m grateful to you for that.\u00a0 But, Roman, honestly, in your heart of hearts, I- I believe that you want Lucas to serve out his term\u00a0 for what he did to Sami.\u00a0Kate, we have been through this, all right?\u00a0 I told you, I think Lucas learned his lesson.\u00a0 I don&#8217;t think he&#8217;ll make those mistakes again.\u00a0Well, God knows that&#8217;s true.<\/p>\n<p>Bottom line is, Harris Michaels promised results.\u00a0 Lucas did his part, and I think it would be wrong\u00a0 if Harris left him out to dry.<\/p>\n<p>Chad gave me the impression that you\u00a0 helped the police find Clyde.\u00a0 Does that have something to do with\u00a0 your special dispensation?\u00a0I probably shouldn&#8217;t say too much, you know?<\/p>\n<p>OK, OK. I understand.\u00a0 Please, tell me, what do you think\u00a0 of what-what Clyde said about Abigail,\u00a0 about Abigail being alive?\u00a0 Chad shared that with me.\u00a0 I&#8217;m not going to say anything to anybody but you.\u00a0 He also said that you didn&#8217;t think it was possible.\u00a0 Now, did you just say that, I&#8217;m wondering, because you didn&#8217;t\u00a0 want to get his hopes up?\u00a0 What do you really think?\u00a0 Do you think it&#8217;s true she could be alive?\u00a0Julie, I wish-I wish it was true.\u00a0 I just-I don&#8217;t know.\u00a0 I mean, I don&#8217;t know how it&#8217;s possible.\u00a0 Do you?<\/p>\n<p>[sighs]<\/p>\n<p>So Clyde&#8217;s not speaking.\u00a0 [phone rings]\u00a0 Shocking.<\/p>\n<p>Um, if you&#8217;ll excuse me.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t give up hope, all right?\u00a0 Listen.\u00a0 Listen to me.\u00a0 We have Clyde in custody.\u00a0 I&#8217;m convinced that he knows something.\u00a0OK.\u00a0 So whatever it is, whatever he wants, it&#8217;s-it&#8217;s got to be\u00a0 worth getting Gabi back home.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>This reminds me of a\u00a0 little yapping dog running\u00a0 in circles around a predator.\u00a0How could it be possible that my wife is still alive, Clyde?\u00a0 Because that night\u00a0 I found her in our bed\u00a0 bleeding out,\u00a0 barely able to whisper my name.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>You know, when I close my eyes, I can see her.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Her face is pale.\u00a0 She&#8217;s so cold.\u00a0 And I can feel her slipping away.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>When I was at the hospital, I was covered in her blood.\u00a0 But still, I cling to hope.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>But then Kayla comes walking out.\u00a0 She tells me that my wife is dead, that there&#8217;s\u00a0 nothing she could do&#8211;\u00a0 not her, not Rolf, no one.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>So she took me back to go see her body.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Do you want to know what I did, Clyde?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>I held her.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>I touched her.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>I kissed her.\u00a0 And I said goodbye to the love of my life\u00a0 and the mother of my children.\u00a0 But then you drop a bomb on me.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>If she is alive,\u00a0 how is that possible, Clyde?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Please tell me, hmm?\u00a0 How is that possible?\u00a0 [inhales sharply]<\/p>\n<p>Thank you, Mr. Russo.\u00a0 Yeah, Peyton.\u00a0 Peyton, of course, yes.\u00a0 Uh, I will.\u00a0 I will.\u00a0 Yeah, I&#8217;m very excited, yes.\u00a0 OK.\u00a0 Uh, I can&#8217;t wait.\u00a0 I will, um-I&#8217;ll see you soon.\u00a0 [phone beeps]\u00a0 No big deal.\u00a0 Just my new friend, Peyton Russo.<\/p>\n<p>Ah!\u00a0 Oh my god, Johnny!\u00a0 This is amazing.\u00a0 Oh!\u00a0 I am so proud of you.\u00a0His lawyer needs to call my agent, which I don&#8217;t have.<\/p>\n<p>OK.\u00a0 Well, soon you&#8217;re going to be beating them off with sticks.<\/p>\n<p>Pinch me.<\/p>\n<p>[chuckles] Well, actually, I had something else in mind.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, yeah?<\/p>\n<p>Yeah.\u00a0 It occurs to me that we just had our first major fight\u00a0 as a married couple.\u00a0Mm-hmm.\u00a0And so we&#8217;d better get home fast so we can make up.<\/p>\n<p>Mm, works for me.<\/p>\n<p>[laughs]<\/p>\n<p>Aunt Marie, I&#8217;m just so worried about Maggie.\u00a0 Well, I told her.\u00a0 I told her not to trust that guy, but she wouldn&#8217;t listen.\u00a0 [sighs] Yeah, the whole family could use some good news.\u00a0 How true.\u00a0 No.\u00a0 No, I haven&#8217;t.\u00a0 And I cannot understand how my grandparents could have put\u00a0 together this time capsule and never\u00a0 said a word about it to a single member of the family.\u00a0 Yeah.\u00a0 Well, let alone what&#8217;s inside.\u00a0 [chuckles] No.\u00a0 No, I&#8217;m determined.\u00a0 Yes, I&#8217;m going to find out what&#8217;s in the time capsule\u00a0 if it&#8217;s the last thing I do.\u00a0 [laughs]\u00a0[sighs] Well, I said my goodbyes to Julie.\u00a0 So if you guys have an out-of-the-way place\u00a0 for me to stay while I wait to hear from Harris,\u00a0 I&#8217;d appreciate it.\u00a0You don&#8217;t have to do that.\u00a0 I pulled some strings with my ISA pals, tracked him down.\u00a0 So I get to be the one to officially tell you both,\u00a0 Harris just finalized the terms of your deal.\u00a0 So, Lucas, for you being part of the capture\u00a0 of the fugitive Clyde Weston, the remainder of your sentence\u00a0 has been officially commuted.<\/p>\n<p>Oh my god.\u00a0 So that means&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>Lucas, you&#8217;re a free man.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, yes!<\/p>\n<p>Oh my god.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, yes, yes!\u00a0 Finally.\u00a0[laughs] Oh.\u00a0 Oh.\u00a0Look, Stefan.\u00a0 I&#8217;m sorry, but my hands are tied here.\u00a0Really?\u00a0 So that&#8217;s it?\u00a0 You&#8217;re just going to pack it in?\u00a0 You&#8217;re not going to move heaven and Earth to help your sister?\u00a0Look, I cannot do this, OK?\u00a0 I cannot give up anything to Clyde Weston, OK?\u00a0 I would be sacrificing the safety of everyone\u00a0 in this town and beyond.\u00a0 But maybe if you had an idea- [suspenseful music]\u00a0What does that mean?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>It means that maybe if you had an idea of how you\u00a0 could move heaven and Earth&#8211;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>So you&#8217;re saying if, um, I chose to go the,\u00a0 uh, DiMera route, you&#8217;d be willing to look the other way?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>I&#8217;ve got to get back to the station.\u00a0All right.All right.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Hey.\u00a0 Rafe&#8217;s already gone?\u00a0Yeah.\u00a0 Yeah, there&#8217;s nothing he can do.\u00a0 He&#8217;s-he&#8217;s not willing to, um, accept any sort of deal\u00a0 as far as Clyde is concerned.\u00a0 So I&#8217;ll tell you what.\u00a0 I will shelve my idea to get Gabi out of prison\u00a0 for now if you help me get more evidence.\u00a0Yeah, sorry.\u00a0 There&#8217;s been, uh, a change of plans.\u00a0 I won&#8217;t be helping you anymore.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Uh, would you mind, uh,\u00a0 backing up a little, please?\u00a0 Thanks.\u00a0 I-kind of liked it better when\u00a0 you were playing a strong guy.\u00a0 This is just sad, you know.\u00a0 Uh, takes all the fun out of it.<\/p>\n<p>Answer me, please.\u00a0 [somber music]<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Before I do, you have to show me that you\u00a0 can do something for me\u00a0 to, um, better my current situation.\u00a0And how am I supposed to do that?\u00a0[chuckles] Chad, you&#8217;re a DiMera.\u00a0 You&#8217;ll figure something out.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>OK.\u00a0 But how the hell am I even supposed to believe you?\u00a0 I&#8217;m not doing anything for you.\u00a0 I can&#8217;t trust a word that you say.<\/p>\n<p>Then why are you here?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>OK.\u00a0 Tell me this, then.\u00a0 If Abigail is still alive, why would\u00a0 you go down for her murder?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[sighs]\u00a0 It&#8217;s only a fool that goes for the quick return.\u00a0 A wise man plays the long game with an ace up his sleeve\u00a0 knowing the exact time he should play it.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>OK. Well, now&#8217;s the time, then,\u00a0 to show me your cards.\u00a0 I&#8217;ve shown you mine.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>All right.\u00a0 Then listen up, because I&#8217;m about to give\u00a0 you something big.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tvmeg.com\/index.php\/2021\/07\/19\/days-of-our-lives-transcripts\/\">Back to the Days Transcripts Page<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tvmeg.com\/index.php\/2021\/12\/23\/daytime-soap-transcripts\/\">Back to the Main Daytime Transcripts Page<\/a><\/p>\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- TVMEGBODY -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1056557952271337\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"8801203268\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6108\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tvmeg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/daysanim.gif\" alt=\"Days of Our Lives cast animated GIF\" width=\"137\" height=\"153\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Days of Our Lives Transcript &nbsp; Transcript provided by Thane THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING! \u00a0[crickets chirping] Wait.\u00a0\u00a0 You want to leave Salem and go where?
