these.

>> Ciara: Thanks.
>> Ben: I should...probably get

going.
It's good to see you.

>> Ciara: Wait.

>> Kayla: Call me back as soon
as you get this, will you, Gabi?

There's something I need to
discuss with you.

>> JJ: You know, Abigail
doesn't think that her alters

are back.
>> Kayla: Well, she's probably

in denial.
>> JJ: Well, actually, she

believes that she's being set
up.

That Kate and Gabi are--are
making it look like she's split

again and lying that she's
attacked them when she hasn't.

She's actually claiming that
Gabi's been drugging her.

[door closes]
>> Stefan: Tell me how that

happened.
Who allowed Jennifer to go into

my daughter's room?
My instructions were very

explicit--no one goes into that
room without my express

permission.
>> Kayla: Don't you dare think

that you can give me orders.
Not after you got Steve

arrested.
>> Stefan: I'm sorry--arrested?

>> Kayla: As if you didn't know.
For being a spy and a traitor,

which is absurd, because we both
know who the real traitor and

you.
>> Kate: Don't compare yourself

to Stefan, Chad.
Well, I'm sorry.

I am sorry that Abigail is not
well, but you acted out of love.

Your brother was just interested
in getting what he wants, and he

did--he always does, no matter
who he hurts.

Okay.
Well, you know that you can call

me anytime.
I hear you. Bye.

>> Roman: Hey.
>> Kate: Well, if you're here to

commiserate over our son's
stellar life choices, I'm about

to pour a drink, so...
>> Roman: Please, make it two.

Rex definitely did mess things
up, didn't he?

>> Kate: Several times,
apparently.

Although, he does have a
beautiful baby girl, and he is

going to be involved in her
life, so...

>> Roman: Brand-new
granddaughter--Gotta love it.

thankful for.

Mmm.

Ahh!

baby. She said something about
the King being dead, but that I

doctor who injected me with a

syringe--

And your daughter is gonna be

find another key to bringing

down Stefan?
>> Roman: Ted Laurent is a

direct line--we pull that
thread, and we can bring that

bastard down.

It's been a good start.
You told me a lotta things I

didn't know.
So, uh,

we can leave that for another
day.

But what I need from you today
is to trust me

and promise me that in this
partnership you will tell me

what I need to know when I need
to know it.

It's the only way we can bring
Stefan to his knees.

Kate, it's the only way I can
keep you safe.

Do you think you can do that?

>> Sonny: One more time.
I wasn't trying to kill you to

get you out of the way.
It was an accident.

>> Will: Not that your idea
isn't tempting, but you're not

worth the trouble.
>> Sonny: Exactly. So why don't

I show you out so you can crawl
back to whatever rock you were

hiding under?
>> Leo: Well, as fun as this has

been, this isn't a social call.
You and I have unfinished

business.
>> Sonny: The lawsuit was

dismissed.
So you can go back to being

Matthew Cooper, the prostitute,
or whatever name you're going by

these days.
>> Leo: No, no, I'm quite happy

being Leo.
And I'm ready to pick up exactly

where I left off.
>> Sonny: What does that mean?

>> Leo: Well, before Will so
rudely interrupted us, I

proposed marriage, and you
accepted.

I'm holding you to that, Sonny.
It's time for you to make an

honest man out of me.

>> Hope: You blackmailed Will
Horton?

>> Ted: And Sonny Kiriakis.
>> Hope: Over what?

>> Ted: It's not important.
I just want you to do your duty

and protect me.
Stefan's people are already

looking for me.
>> Hope: Then file an official

police report.
>> Ted: No--

No offense, Commissioner, but I
cannot trust my life with the

belief that Stefan DiMera
doesn't have any friends inside

the Salem P.D.--I can't.
I need to do this quietly.

>> Hope: You're asking me to
ignore police procedure.

Why would I do that?
>> Ted: Because I can give you

something in return.
How about the evidence...

the evidence you need to put
Ben Weston away for good?

>> Ciara: I'm sorry.
I don't think I can do this.

I'm starting to think I can't do
this with anyone.

That I'm too broken to love or
to be loved.

>> Ben: Hey. Look at me.
Ciara, look at me.

I told you once before
never apologize for who you are.

You are the bravest, strongest
person I have ever met in my

life.
When I found you on the road

that day, your leg was
shattered.

But your heart...
your spirit

were whole.
Ciara Brady, you...

you have more fight in you
than a bag full of bobcats.

>> Ciara: Did you actually just
say that?

>> Ben: I'm sorry.
Did I just say that?

I'm sorry, it's an Ozark thing.
Um...

here's the deal.
If you're too broken to love

or be loved, what does that mean
for someone like me?

>> Ciara: I'm sorry, I didn't--
>> Ben: No, no, that's all

right.
Because as messed up as I am,

I know there are far crazier
people than me who do find love.

So I'm not giving up hope.
And you can't either.

I won't let you.
