>> Bill: Forrester can be pretty

dense, but he has to know that

you didn't want to intentionally

hurt Thomas.

Me, on the other hand...

>> Brooke: He could have died,

Bill.

>> Bill: Oh, gee, that would

have been a real loss.

But I'm glad that you don't have

to live with that.

>> Brooke: I don't think Ridge

is ever gonna be able to forgive

me for that.

I mean, I know what it must have

looked like.

I was running at Thomas.

I thought that he was attacking

my daughter, but Hope said that

he was just apologizing.

>> Bill: So what?

You see a lunatic with his hands

on your daughter on the edge of

a cliff, and you've got to act.

Fast.

>> Brooke: Ridge doesn't see him

that way.

He doesn't see any of this

the way that I do.

>> Ridge: Everyone involved in

this travesty is gonna pay.

>> Flo: As they should.

I'm not asking for forgiveness,

and I don't want you to take

pity on me.

But you should know what really

happened.

I didn't know what Reese had

done or what he had planned.

I didn't know Hope or Steffy --

>> Ridge: You did know that Beth

wasn't your child, and you

signed adoption papers.

>> Flo: Reese told me I was

helping.

>> Ridge: You stole a baby,

twice.

Once from Hope, once from

Steffy.

>> Flo: You're right.

I should have told the truth.

I wanted to so many times,

but...

>> Ridge: But you didn't want to

give up this new life of yours.

>> Flo: No, no, no. That's --

That's where you don't get it.

I -- I couldn't enjoy this new

life that I had because I hated

myself every single day for not

having the courage to speak up.

But, in the end, it was your son

who kept me quiet.

>> Bill: Unbelievable.

Ridge blames you.

>> Brooke: Yeah.

He thinks I reacted the way I

did because I hate his son.

>> Bill: Well, then he doesn't

know you at all.

Or he doesn't know Thomas.

>> Brooke: Well, he still sees

Thomas as a little boy.

He doesn't see him as a many

that would do anything to get my

daughter to marry him.

>> Bill: And I'm sure he's

really playing up the helpless

sympathy card, laying in that

hospital bed.

>> Brooke: I don't feel sorry

for him, Bill.

And I certainly am not going to

thank him for showing me mercy.

Not after what he did to our

children.

>> Vision's improved.

>> Thomas: The headache's not.

>> You'll have that for a while,

along with a few aches and

pains, considering your broken

ribs.

But, with the proper treatment

and rest, your symptoms should

improve.

>> Thomas: I'm just happy to be

alive.

>> You should be, Thomas.

You survived a hell of a fall.

This could have been an

extremely tragic accident.

>> Thomas: Hey, I --

>> Brooke: Get away from my

daughter!

>> Thomas: I just --

>> Brooke: Get away from her!

>> Hope: Thomas!

>> Ridge: Thomas made a bad

decision, keeping your secret,

but he didn't steal Beth.

>> Flo: But he didn't want Hope

to have her back.

Look, Ridge...

I know that Thomas is your son,

and you care about him,

obviously, but...

Thomas isn't just a bystander in

all of this.

He married Hope, and he knew the

truth, and he chose not to tell

her.

And he threatened to destroy our

lives in anyone wanted to tell

her the truth.

And after what happened to Emma,

I mean...

>> Ridge: Wait, what does that

mean, "what happened to Emma?"

>> Flo: Oh, you -- you don't...

There are a lot of people who

think that Thomas is responsible

for Emma's death.

♪♪

>> Bill: Using his weakened

state to tug at those

heartstrings.

So freakin' transparent.

>> Brooke: It didn't work on

Hope, thank God.

But I could see it had a huge

impact on Ridge.

>> Bill: Yeah, of course it did.

Conned by his own kid, yet

again.

>> Brooke: Thomas is his son.

I can see why he would want to

see the best in him.

I get it!

But I can't!

Not after what he did to Hope

and Liam.

It was cruel and it was

calculated.

And there's no way I'm going to

apologize for misjudging him

because I didn't!

Ridge is the one who should open

his eyes and see things clearly.

>> Bill: [ Scoffs ] Maybe his

ears aren't working, either.

You've told him what happened,

and he wants to apologize?

>> Brooke: Yes, he wants me to

thank Thomas for not accusing me

of attempted murder.

Really? I --

I'm not a criminal!

Thomas is the one acting like a

criminal.

>> Bill: Wow, and I guess this

fall didn't have any impact on

him, either, if he's still

trying to make inroads with

Hope.

>> Brooke: It was frightening.

You should have heard the things

that was saying, how much he

still loves her, how he hopes

that she can forgive him one

day...

>> Bill: My nephew and

granddaughter were only part of

his plan.

There is something seriously

wrong with Thomas, Brooke, and

if Ridge can't see that, there's

something wrong with him.

Thomas is a sociopath.

>> Brooke: Hope and Liam, they

are so happy right now.

They have their lives back on

track, they're raising Beth.

The last thing they need is to

think about Thomas.

>> Bill: You leave him to me.

>> Brooke: Wait.

Bill...

I'm not asking you to do

anything.

>> Bill: Well, somebody has to

do something.

>> Ridge: You are in no position

to make accusations against

anyone.

>> Flo: I'm just telling you

this because Thomas is your son,

and I think that you need to

know.

>> Ridge: I need to know what?

What do I need to know?

You think you have something to

tell me that I don't know

already?

What could you possibly say?

You lie the moment you open your

mouth.

From the day you got here, you

lie.

That's all you do!

>> Sir!

>> Ridge: I'm sorry.

>> Flo: I think Thomas did more

than lie to keep this secret.

>> Ridge: No.

>> Flo: Maybe you just don't

know that side of him.

I mean, you're his dad.

Why -- Why would you see that

side of him?

But, if you did, you would

understand why I kept quiet.

>> Ridge: Okay, I'm sorry for

interrupting you.

So, what is it, exactly?

Thomas is responsible for

everything?

He's responsible for Emma's

death, for all your lies?

What is it?

>> Flo: He let Hope believe that

her baby was dead so that she

would marry him.

He was so obsessed with her that

nothing else mattered, not even

his own son!

And what do you think someone

like that would do if someone

got in their way of getting what

they want?

Because that's exactly what Emma

was trying to do, and look what

happened to her.

She ended up dead.

I think your son has some

serious issues, Ridge.

And I think that he's guilty of

a very serious crime.

We're done.

Guard, I'm ready.

[ Door unlocks ]

>> Bill: Ah!

There's our bright-eyed boy!

How's the boo-boo?

>> Thomas: Bill?

>> Bill: You recognize me!

That's good. You're doing fine.

>> Thomas: What do you want?

>> Bill: Your full attention.

What you did to my

granddaughter, her family,

my family...

It upsets me.

The way you treated my nephew,

stealing Hope from Liam...

You know, I've been working on

myself.

Number-one priority --

keep the temper in check.

Everyone says I should do that,

and they're right.

They're right.

And I've made progress.

Now, normally, I would have

walked in here and choked you

out.

Now, I still could,

and God knows you deserve it.

But I'm not gonna do that,

and I am so proud of myself!

But, on the other hand...

I'll be damned if I can let this

go.

That's what you'd like, right?

Just gonna smooth it over,

sweep it under the rug...

Apologize for your mistake and

move on?

A mistake, right?

I mean, that is what you want to

call it.

Just blink once for yes,

twice for no.

Never mind.

Just keep lying there, looking

stupid.

Well, this mistake is going to

have consequences.

And that's not a concept you're

entirely familiar with.

And I can't wait

to teach you how it works.

>> Katie: So...

Thomas falls off a cliff,

and suddenly, he's a new man?

>> Brooke: He realized what he

was doing, and he regrets it

all.

>> Katie: So what, he doesn't

turn you into Detective Sanchez

and that proves that he's

sincere?

>> Brooke: I wish I could

believe him.

I really do.

>> Katie: Well, for the sake of

your marriage, you need to deal

with this.

Thomas has been a source of

tension for a while.

>> Brooke: Yes, and it got worse

since the accident.

Ridge and I have never been this

far apart.

And I still can't believe what

Thomas has done to Hope.

There is a dark side to him,

Katie, darker than we've ever

seen before.

He got as close to Hope as he

possibly could, and then he

watched her suffer.

I can't forgive that.

Even for Ridge.

I'm not gonna pretend

that that's okay.

>> Thomas: Are you threatening

me?

>> Bill: Threatening you?

[ Chuckles ]

If I was threatening you,

you wouldn't have to ask.

But, you know, there you go.

You see how easy it is for these

things to get misinterpreted.

Like when Brooke saw you on the

edge of the cliff with your

hands on her daughter.

Now, if Hope really had nothing

to fear from you, then you have

nothing to fear from me.

>> Thomas: I'm supposed to be

resting.

>> Bill: And Hope was supposed

to be a mother, and Liam and

Hope were supposed to be

parents.

>> Thomas: I didn't steal their

baby from them.

>> Bill: You did everything you

could to make sure she wouldn't

get her back, didn't you?

So, as far as I'm concerned,

it's the same difference.

I mean, I understand how you

can fixated on something and

lose perspective, but you --

[ Laughs ] I mean, you --

you took this to a whole nother

level.

You keep a baby from its mother,

you let parents and their

families mourn the loss of a

child that you know full well

is alive?

Well, my man, that's just a

whole nother level of sick.

>> Thomas: Look, Bill, I don't

expect forgiveness, but I

apologized to Hope.

>> Bill: Yeah, I know what you

did, you twisted freak.

You laid it on thick, your

poured it out your black heart.

Well, nobody's buying it.

No, that's not entirely true.

Ridge, he -- he's going with it,

but he has to.

Otherwise, he has to admit to

himself that his firstborn son

is an obsessive lunatic,

a complete loser.

Now, I know you didn't start

this deception, but you didn't

do anything to bring it to an

end, either.

Reese and Flo, jail.

Zoe and Xander, fired from

Forrester.

Everybody is paying a price, but

here's Tommy the choo-choo.

"I think I can get away it.

I think I can get away it."

All wrapped up in his father's

ignorance and his own lame

excuses.

I talked to Brooke.

And Ridge is actually defending

you.

Well, you can't defend the

indefensible.

And I'm gonna make sure that you

pay for what you've done.

>> Ridge: Spencer!

There's no need for you to be

here.

>> Katie: Ridge thinks this is

okay?

Because that's not how he acted

when Douglas exposed his

father's lies.

>> Brooke: Ridge isn't excusing

Thomas for what he did, but he

wants me to thank him for not

sending me to jail.

>> Katie: What?

>> Brooke: Can you believe it?

This is the man that I love,

the man that I married,

the man that I should rely on.

I don't want to get in a big

argument with Ridge, I don't.

But I don't trust Thomas.

In fact, I think that he's

trying to manipulate us all over

again.

I let him walk away one too many

times.

I'm not gonna do that anymore.

There's a lesson to be learned

here, and Thomas has to learn

it.

>> Bill: Your son stuck a knife

through the heart of my family.

You don't think I should object

to that, Ridge?

>> Ridge: Not while he's in a

hospital bed, no.

>> Bill: I grieved the loss of

my granddaughter.

My entire family grieved her

loss.

>> Ridge: And you should be

angry, at Buckingham, at Flo,

but not my son.

>> Bill: Buckingham and Flo have

been arrested.

They're paying a price, and

he's gonna have to do the same.

>> Ridge: That's completely

different.

He kept a secret, that's all he

did.

>> Bill: That's the only thing

he cared about, was keeping the

secret.

Are you kidding me?

You see, this is what you do.

It's what you do every time your

kid screws up.

You give him a blankie and a

ba-ba and you coddle him.

>> Thomas: Look, I can explain.

>> Ridge: Let me handle it.

>> Bill: Yeah, let Daddy handle

it.

You just sit there and suck your

thumb.

But, you know what...

You can't protect him this time.

I've been talking to Justin.

Seems there might be a

connection between Thomas and

Emma's death.

Now, if that proves to be

true...

Well, he's gonna have a lot

bigger problems on his hand than

just keeping a secret.

>> Ridge: That is a very serious

accusation, Bill.

>> Bill: One I don't take

lightly.

Now, come on, Forrester, you

know me.

I don't bluff, and I don't

blink.

>> Ridge: Yeah.

You can go now.

>> Bill: And your mea culpa

isn't gonna do jack --

>> Ridge: I said get out!

That's enough!

>> Bill: I'm gonna make sure

that you rot!

>> What the hell is going on in

here?

Mr. Forrester, I can hear you

out in the hall.

>> Ridge: He shouldn't be here.

>> Your son suffered a serious

head injury!

He needs rest and quiet.

>> Bill: Yeah, you know what,

Doc, you're absolutely right.

You know, Ridge...

Ridge got out of control,

started yelling.

This poor kid here, he has a --

he has a headache.

Listen to the doc, get your

rest.

And I'm gonna give you another

piece of advice.

Well, really, it's more a dose

of reality.

Daddy can't save you from this

one.

Daddy can't save you from this

or from me.

Justice will be done.

I'm gonna see to it.

You're not doing your son any

favors protecting him, Ridge.

He's got to learn a lesson.

He's got to pay for what he's

done.

To Liam, to Hope, to Steffy...

>> Ridge: I-I know.

Bill, I'm worried about him.

And not just because of this

fall, but because of the

decisions he's made.

>> Bill: Well, I'm glad that we

agree.

He's got to pay for the crime.

>> Ridge: What is the crime?

He kept a secret.

It's awful, but he --

He's trying to make amends.

>> Bill: Oh, come on, Ridge, you

believe him?

You know, I don't know what's

worse, Thomas and his heinous

manipulations, or you having

raised this poor excuse of a

man.

>> Ridge: There it is.

My son almost died.

>> Bill: Because of his own

actions, the same actions that

are gonna land him in jail.

Now, keeping a secret was one

thing.

Being responsible for a death is

something else.

And if the police find the

evidence linking Thomas to

Emma's death, he's going away

And there's not a damn thing you

can do to stop it.
