Episode # 9862 ~ The D.A. Questions Adam

Provided By Suzanne
Proofread By Emma

Sharon: Create a new beauty company at Newman to compete with your old company Beauty of Nature, and do it all... with Nicholas.

Victor: Mm-hmm. You'd have my complete support, and I'd give you extensive autonomy.

Sharon: With Nicholas. (Sighs) I just-- I don't think it's a good idea. I'm sorry.

Phyllis: You want to go back to the way we were. Are you sure? (Chuckles) It wasn't all good.

Nick: No, but... there was a lot of excellent in there, and some fantastic, sprinkled with some awesome. You just gotta focus on that. We can get there again.

Phyllis: Because you don't feel anything for Sharon anymore. Is that true?

Nick: I told you, Sharon said she was moving Adam back to the ranch, right? What'd I say to that?

Phyllis: You said it was fine.

Nick: 'Cause I don't care. All I care about are our kids. That's it.

Phyllis: (Sighs) Well, you say this, and it seems like you really mean it, but I don't feel better. There's so much going on. I mean, anything good, you could lose that in a second. It goes away in a second. I mean, I don't think I can take any more bad stuff happening. I'm not that tough.

Nick: Then don't be so tough. Be as untough as you want to be. Just let me back you up on this, all right? With Lucy, with all of it.

Phyllis: Daniel's fighting for Lucy. I hope to God he wins, because if he doesn't, that's another person I've lost, and I don't think I could take that.

Daisy: (Gasps) All righty. (Breathing rhythmically)

Lucy: (Coos)

Daisy: (Gasps) (Sighs happily)

Daniel: Hey, Luce, you ready to hang out?

Daisy: I just can't get enough of her, but I'm willing to share. Here you go.

Daniel: Mm, that's good to know. Hmm.

Daisy: I'm just saying. You don't have to go to court to get visitation. You don't have to sue me for custody, either. I got served the papers, by the way.

Daniel: I'm not gonna fight with you about this, especially in front of the kid.

Daisy: No, no, no fighting. I'm just saying I got the papers, and now that that's out of the way, we can focus on Lucy. This is her time with us-- our little family.

Billy: How are you doing, Ms. C.E.O.?

Victoria: You seen any stars out there in L.A., Mr. Media Mogul?

Billy: (Chuckles) No, just a bunch of suits and sushi. A couple of days of either, and, uh, it gets old.

Victoria: Well, are those suits gonna add a zero to their pith, now that they've seen the latest issue of "Restless Style"?

Billy: Ah, forget them. How's everybody doing there with Satan in their midst?

Victoria: Everybody knows. You know, Adam may as well have been the one to put your brother in that chair. Freeing Patty and not telling anybody about it... (Sighs) Oh, and what it's done to the Newman name-- I don't even want to think about it. Thank goodness I have Beauty of Nature to distract me right now.

Billy: Oh, that's what I like to hear. How are things on the home front? Keely better not be on my side of the bed.

Victoria: Uh... moving on. Uh, Chelsea's doing really well, and she still wants us to raise the baby, thank God.

Billy: Good. Let's keep it that way.

Victoria: No, seriously, now that she knows what kind of uncle this baby's gonna have, we're lucky she didn't run screaming.

Adam: Too busy nesting to have read the article about me, huh? Might be the only one in town, maybe the only one on the planet. No, there might be a small tribe in the rain forest somewhere.

Chelsea: (Chuckles)

Adam: No, they probably read it, too.

Chelsea: (Laughs) Uh, no, I have no clue. Like I said, fill me in.

Adam: Sure thing. I've got breaking news. You're lying.

Jack: Thanks for coming by.

Paul: How's the physical therapy going? Looks like you've been working your butt off.

Jack: Well, I got kudos today for being ticked off at the world-- not the whole world. Anyway, I would love to continue our conversation we started earlier.

Paul: You mean about Victor and Adam?

Jack: You do realize that between the two of them, they are responsible for every rotten thing that ever happened to your sister?

Paul: Well, good luck getting Victor to own it... although Adam confessed to me right to my face.

Jack: Well, this guy's some piece of work. He slithered in here earlier begging for my forgiveness, claimed he'd never heard anything about the "Restless Style" article. I assume you've seen that.

Paul: I got an apology, too. Too little, too late. Do you think he's going to everyone involved and doing this "I'm sorry" song and dance?

Jack: Even if he only admitted it to us, that could well be enough.

Paul: Enough for what?

Jack: Adam wants something for all of this honesty. Let's not disappoint him.

Victor: You want a fresh start? This is it, at Newman Enterprises. You could create something with your imprint.

Sharon: Partnering with Nicholas on a time-intensive project requiring lots of attention. Here you go.

Victor: Look--thank you. I wouldn't have suggested this if I didn't think this was gonna be successful. I mean, you'd be colleagues.

Sharon: Victor, you and I both know that Nick and I are always gonna be more than coworkers... and Phyllis would lose her mind.

Victor: Phyllis is a petulant child. I don't give a damn what she thinks. You are my priority, okay? And you and Nicholas bring different skill sets to this project. I know it would be an unbeatable combination.

Sharon: I think you're pitching a reunion that just-- it's never gonna happen.

Victor: I want this to work out. I want you to accept this... for me.

Sharon: Okay, I will.

Victor: I'm glad.

Sharon: But you're going to have to talk to Nicholas yourself, and I can't imagine that is going to be easy.

Victor: I'll deal with that.

Nick: I don't want you to think about losing Lucy, 'cause that is not gonna happen.

Phyllis: Well, it already has happened.

Nick: Daniel's gonna get custody of Lucy. You gotta have some faith in him.

Phyllis: Well, what if he doesn't? I mean, I have to think of that. What if he doesn't? Then Lucy is confined to a life of hell with that crazy, psychotic Daisy.

(Telephones ringing)

Phyllis: Listen, I-I can't talk about this anymore. The phones are insane.

Nick: They can wait.

Phyllis: Well, they can, but I can't. I mean, listen, I can run around here. I could break things. I can scream, but since I don't want to be arrested for being a loon and having a hostile work environment, I think I should just answer some phones.

Nick: Then take some time off. They can spare you. In fact, why don't you let me take you out of here? And we'll go someplace where you can break whatever the hell you want, and no one will care.

Phyllis: Thank you for offering. I have to answer phones. Thank you for everything.

Nick: I didn't do anything except stand in front of you...

Phyllis: (Laughs)

Nick: And tell you the truth. Now it's up to you. So if you ever get tired of being tough or you need me, call me, 'cause I'm your man.

Phyllis: (Laughs) I will.

Nick: All right, see you.

Daisy: It was a bit of a rush when you moved up visitation, but we made it happen, didn't we, Lucy? Oh. See, she needs this time with you. A child needs both parents.

(Toy rattling)

Daisy: Yeah. Oh, I want to do everything for Lucy that no one ever did for me.

Daniel: Are you ready to learn how to finger-paint? Huh, Luce? Let me see those hands what you got? Look at these mitts! Oh, they were made for finger painting, weren't they?

Daisy: The same goes for custody. I mean, we're both responsible adults. The courts admitted that I deserve to be free, and now I can focus on raising Lucy full-time, the right way. I want you in her life, Daniel. She deserves both of us. I think we should raise her together.

Daniel: We're not together.

Daisy: (Chuckles) I don't mean that. I just--I just meant being her parents, not on opposite sides. People do it all the time. There's no reason we can't, too.

Daniel: I already filed the papers. I'm not changing my mind.

Lucy: (Sneezes)

Daisy: She's trying to get your attention. I'm gonna go get my coffee.

Daniel: (Imitates sneezing) Was that a little sneeze? You know what you're gonna love? You're gonna love papier-mâché, huh? It makes such a mess.

(Cell phone rings)

(Ring)

Daniel: Hello.

Phyllis: Hey. Just called to say hi.

Lucy: (Babbling)

Phyllis: What is that? Is it--is that-- is that Lucy? Oh, Daniel-- Daniel, how is she?

Daniel: She's fine. I'm at the coffeehouse with... her, Daisy. Don't come by here. Don't drop by or do anything like that, all right?

Phyllis: Oh... (Scoffs) I'm not gonna do that, okay? Of course not.

Daniel: Look, I gotta go.

Phyllis: Oh, God, I-- tell--tell Lucy I love her. Give her a kiss for me, ok-- Daniel? Um, hey, hey, Guys. Uh, I am... gonna take, uh... I-I just--I-I'll be back.

Billy: Chelsea read that story Phyllis did on Adam? Huh, kid'll be too afraid to come out now. Great. Awesome. Wonderful.

Victoria: Hey, well, it's your magazine, you know? It's a little late to decide that it's bad for the baby.

Billy: Um, Honey, there's this slick guy in a suit that wants me to come inside and listen to more market research.

Victoria: Good. Go close the deal for big money, get home already.

Billy: Yeah, I'm not quite sure it's gonna happen that fast. These people out here, they love to talk. I'd rather be at home not talking to you.

Victoria: Um, that was flattering, I think.

Billy: It was, believe me. Hey, will you check in on Jack for me I-I keep missing him.

Victoria: Yeah, absolutely.

Billy: How bad does this suck? The truth's out about Adam, and there's not anything that anyone can do about it.

Jack: Well, that was a productive call.

Paul: Yeah, it went as well as we could hope, I suppose. It's not enough, not nearly what Adam deserves.

Jack: Yeah, well, it will be, with time. We just fired the opening volley. He is going down for what he did to Patty and to me, and to everyone else, and he won't even see this coming.

Adam: That old saw about, um, other senses improving when you lose one? It's all true. I just used my bionic hearing to pick up on you setting a magazine down. It wasn't a far stretch to figure out which magazine that would be. So what do you have to say for yourself, "Miss pants-on-fire"?

Chelsea: Oops.

Adam: (Laughs)

Chelsea: (Chuckles)

Adam: Well, then, as long as you are filled with remorse--

Chelsea: Oh, you know what? Give me a break. I-I see you sitting alone looking miserable. It's kind of hard to break the ice with "Hey, Lucifer, how's it going? How's the walking stick, huh?"

Adam: It's not a pitchfork, but it gets the job done.

Chelsea: Okay, fine, you got me. I read the article. It's actually very juicy read. Sounds like you've been up to all sorts of trouble.

Adam: Yep, I'm trying to leave the trouble in the past. Problem is, it doesn't want to stay there. So, um, what about you? I'm, uh, assuming that you can still fit on a barstool.

Chelsea: Belly jokes. Nice. I'm laughing on the inside.

Adam: (Laughs) Are you still living at my sister's?

Chelsea: Mm-hmm, I am. But with all your stuff going on, you probably haven't heard the big news. I have decided to let Victoria and Billy raise the baby.

Adam: Wow. Dare I ask what the angle is?

Chelsea: Well, it's very edgy. I'm not sure you can handle it. (Chuckles)

Adam: Try me.

Chelsea: I think this kid deserves to have a great life. Billy and Victoria can give him that life. That's my angle.

Adam: That is big news.

Chelsea: Truth is, I'm not ready to be a mom. No matter how pregnant I am... (Chuckles) I am not a mom, at least, not yet, so... giving this baby two good parents-- it's the right thing to do.

Adam: Ah, the right thing to do. Living by "The right thing" rules, I'm pretty familiar with that.

Chelsea: I take it you've tried it?

Adam: Recently, I have been trying it, yes. I am trying it now. Lucifer saw the light. I know it sounds like I'm making a joke of it, but I'm serious. I... being completely blind will jump-start things that'll splash you right back into reality. (Clears throat) And then I, um, went and visited my--my childhood home back in Kansas, and... everything changed out there, and in here, and here, too. Go on. Feel free to make fun of me for being a fake and a phony. You wouldn't be the first person. We're always accepting new memberships.

Chelsea: No. It sounds to me like you mean it.

Adam: Yeah, I just, um, got tired of all the constant chaos, and it needed to stop... just stop.

Chelsea: It's a hard thing to do. It's a hard thing to show other people that it's possible.

Adam: Truer words, my gestating friend, truer words.

Chelsea: (Exhales quickly) Well, other than this whole magazine story, uh... (Laughing) How are things?

Adam: Oh, I don't know, let's see, um... recently had a breakable object thrown at my face. Someone threatened to punch me. I've had my heart turned to mulch. Just another day in the life of Adam Newman.

Chelsea: Wow. Wow. That's--that's something. I really want to make a joke right now, but that actually really sucks. (Chuckles)

Adam: Yes, it does. It's gotta get better from here, right?

Spencer: Adam Newman. You're wanted for questioning regarding Patty Williams.

Adam: I guess not. District attorney Walsh, I presume. I'm assuming you're here because of the "Restless Style" article printed about me. I would suggest you don't haul people down for questioning when you read things in the tabloids-- that is, unless, of course, you plan on swearing out a warrant for Bigfoot.

Spencer: This is about statements you allegedly made about arranging Patty Williams escape from incarceration. You ready to come with us, or do you need some persuasion?

Adam: You'll have to excuse me. I, uh, I haven't been down to the station in a while. I'm gonna go say hi to some old buddies.

Chelsea: Sure thing. I've had some of those buddies myself.

Adam: I bet you have.

Chelsea: (Laughs)

Adam: Fare thee well, Chelsea.

Victoria: What was that?

Chelsea: Oh, they, um, they wanted to talk to your brother about Patty Williams.

Victoria: Wow. Because of the article. That was fast. Why were you talking to Adam?

Chelsea: Because I know him.

Nick: I, uh, was planning on seeing you at the office, but then I got your message. What's up?

Victor: Son, I want you to know that I'm not giving up the fight to retain Beauty of Nature.

Nick: I never expected that you would.

Victor: And I don't see any reason why we shouldn't develop a new cosmetics line at Newman.

Nick: Could we not have talked about this at the office, Dad? Sharon's got a lot going on, you know.

Victor: Sharon is very much part of this conversation, Son. I think with her experience at both Jabot and Newman, she's perfectly qualified to develop this new cosmetics line with you.

Nick: Oh, I'd never thought about it like that. Might be something to it. Maybe we should talk about that later.

Victor: No, we'll talk about it now, because I've made a decision-- you and Sharon will work on this cosmetics line now.

Nick: No. Absolutely not.

Daisy: Remember how I was craving pizza during the pregnancy? (Singsong voice) I bet that'll be her favorite food. (Chuckles)

Daniel: I just downloaded some of your favorite songs. When we get back to my place, just me and you...

Lucy: (Coos)

Daniel: We are gonna raise the roof, hmm?

Daisy: I better pay my parking meter. You should have father/daughter time. She needs that.

Daniel: Don't worry, Kid. It's not gonna be like this forever, all right? Hey. Hey. Especially with "Mr. Crazy Thumb" in town.

Phyllis: Hey. Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh.

Daniel: Whoa, whoa, whoa, Mom, Mom, Mom, Mom! What the hell are you doing?

Phyllis: No, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay's okay. Hi, I'm here! Oh, I missed you so much. Oh, my gosh, I missed you so much. Its okay, I saw--I saw Daisy leave. I saw Daisy leave it's not a big deal.

Daniel: It's not--no, no, no, it's not okay. What if somebody sees you in here, huh? What happens to my custody case or my visitation?

Phyllis: Are you doing okay? Are you eating well? Are you sleeping well?

Daniel: She's eating well. She's sleeping well. She's fine.

Phyllis: Summer misses you.

Daniel: She is fine. She's freaked out because--because you're here with her right now.

Phyllis: You know I was watching her, and she was smiling when you were looking at her, Daniel. She was smiling at you. It was so cute. You have to win custody. You have to. You have to get her away from Daisy. You have to do it. You have to get her away from that psycho.

Victor: Newman Enterprises needs a new cosmetics division. Why are you reluctant to work on its development?

Nick: That's a full-time job, and I already have one. Plus, Victoria is running Beauty of Nature for Genevieve. You and Vick might like going to war on a daily basis. I don't. I'm out. I'm not interested.

(Cell phone rings) (Ring)

Victor: Yes. Thank you. This line will happen. I'll speak to you later.

Nick: (Sighs) Well, you gotta give Dad credit. At least the conversation was not about Adam and the article. I know you told Phyllis you were okay with the article being run, but... is that still true?

Sharon: Yeah.

Nick: Well, good, 'cause Adam's put you through enough. I gotta get to the office. I'll see you later.

Sharon: Um, Nick, wait. Um, you not wanting to head up this cosmetics line-- it's because of Phyllis and me.

Nick: You're right, it is.

Daniel: Mom, give her to me now. Give her--

Phyllis: Oh, I know. Just, uh, just give me a second. Just give me a second, please, please, please, please?

Daisy: What are you doing here?

Phyllis: I have to see her. I have to see her, Daisy. Daniel didn't know about this. I have to see her.

Daniel: She was just leaving.

Daisy: Phyllis, please, hand me the baby.

Phyllis: Can't you just let this baby be happy?

Daisy: You can't do this. You can't show up here, stalking me, and showing up at my apartment. And we're supposed to have time together with her. If you didn't want to spend time with her, you should have let me know.

Daniel: What are you talking about? Of course I want to spend time with her.

Daisy: I'm sorry, I'm just trying to do the right thing.

Phyllis: Oh, yeah sure you are.

Daisy: We're supposed to bond with Lucy.

Phyllis: I'll bet you are.

Daisy: Daniel and I need all the time we can with her. Can't you think of someone other than yourself for once?

Phyllis: Yeah, you think of her instead of yourself, and save the tears, okay? I know exactly what you're doing. This baby doesn't even know you.

Woman: That's the point, Ms. Newman. You have no legal rights to hold that child. This will not happen again.

Lucy: (Babbling)

Adam: Expect some serious quiet time from me, Walsh. I'm not talking until my lawyer gets here, and maybe not even then. Thank you. Got it. I don't need an attorney to tell me that anything that anyone alleges that I've said is hearsay, and therefore inadmissible in court.

Spencer: You might want to brush up on your legal expertise. Your statements were against your own interests, and because you'd be a defendant in a trial, those statements would fall under the exception to a hearsay rule. Make no mistake-- if charges are filed against you, those statements can and will be used against you.

Adam: So you have these statements?

Spencer: Signed and verified.

Adam: From whom?

Jack: That would be us.

Paul: We reported to the D.A. exactly what you told us.

Jack: You know, I was so surprised by your visit, I forgot my manners. Thank you, Adam, for being so honest.

Chelsea: I met Adam when I first got to town. I found out that he was your brother and I kind of just filed that away, just in case. (Sighs) It's not pretty, I know, but I am just putting it all out there for you and being honest. Truthfully, though, I haven't seen him since then, and I lost interest in causing trouble for you and Billy a long time ago.

Victoria: Thank you for being honest, but if you don't want trouble, Adam is a good person to stay away from.

Chelsea: Yes, considering he and the cops are on a first-name basis, I gathered that.

Victoria: The things that Adam has done-- that article doesn't even scratch the surface. I promise you, the people that you got tangled up with in Myanmar-- they've got nothing on Adam.

Chelsea: Do you think he'll be arrested?

Victoria: One can only hope that Adam has finally run out of chances.

Adam: Paul, if I'd taken the punch that you wanted to throw earlier. Would we be here now? Or is this just another way of punching the blind guy?

Jack: Then you admit you were apologizing, admitting what you did.

Adam: Walsh, with all due respect, are these the only two people who have statements?

Spencer: At this time.

Adam: Okay, well, I would be more than happy to sit and wait for my lawyer, but I will not do so with an audience.

Paul: You know, Adam, taking you down won't save Patty, and it won't repair the damage you've caused, but it is something.

Jack: First, you'll rot in jail. Then you'll rot in hell.

Nick: Sharon, it's all true. I've got enough on my plate right now. Plus, I don't want to battle my sister to the death for the cosmetics market. And you and I working together--

Sharon: No, look, you've already made it clear why you're not interested, but when Victor suggested that I work at Newman, you didn't disagree.

Nick: You working at Newman is one thing. You have drive, focus. You have experience. You have a different take of the business from a different perspective. I think Newman would be lucky to have you. But you and I working together is a whole other issue entirely. Phyllis needs something in her life she can count on, and I plan on being that. I've made her some promises. I intend to keep them.

Sharon: I completely understand, and I'm relieved.

Phyllis: I'm--I'm--I'm-- family. Lucy knows I'm family. I'm--I'm--I'm her grandmother. I'm her grandmother! I'm--I'm not her biological mother, but I'm her grandmother.

Daniel: You know, if you had come in here a few minutes sooner or a few minutes later, we wouldn't even be having this conversation.

Phyllis: Yeah, he didn't-- he didn't-- he didn't know I was coming. Listen, I'm--I'm not gonna do something like that again. Just wanted to see her. That's it.

Woman: That's right, it won't happen again. I'd like to file a restraining order to keep Ms. Newman from the child with your permission.

Phyllis: Oh, my God, are you kidding me? Are you kidding me?!

Daisy: If you think that's what's best--

Daniel: No, no, no, no, no. This is my visitation time. Why are we talking restraining orders right now?

Woman: The mission of the family court is to do what's in the best interests of the child. You may put your mother's wants before the child's, but we don't. I promise you, the order will be granted. You will be required by law to stay away from Lucy, even if she's with her father.

Phyllis: Oh, my God! No, no! You--you tell her no.

Daisy: I just got Lucy back.

Lucy: (Babbles)

Daisy: You know, if the courts think that that's what's best, then I have to listen to them, and so do you.

Sharon: We both know what I mean. Victor thinks that I would be valuable to the company, and you didn't disagree, and frankly, I think I have a lot to offer. I mean, when he mentioned you and I working together, I have to say, it set off alarm bells, and I told him so.

Nick: I bet he loved you contradicting him.

Sharon: I told him that it was up to him to try to convince you to do it, and you're not convinced.

Nick: Look, Sharon, you want to start a cosmetics division, do it. Knock it out of the park. But you're gonna have to do it without me.

Sharon: That's exactly what I wanted to hear.

Nick: (Laughs) That's flattering.

Sharon: (Chuckles) You backing out of this deal means that I can go to Newman without any baggage or regrets or fears. It'll be a whole new start for you and me and Phyllis.

Phyllis: Well, Daisy set me up. I set myself up. I'm an idiot for going to the coffeehouse. I'm an idiot. You told me not to.

Daniel: Yeah. Yeah, I did tell you not to.

Phyllis: It was so hard, Daniel, to hear her and not want to see her. It's so... hard for me. She's living with wolves.

Daniel: She isn't--

Phyllis: (Sighs)

Daniel: It's not that bad. I mean, it's not good but it's not that bad.

Phyllis: It is that bad. I mean, I-I hear her, but I'm not allowed to see her. I want to hold her, but I'm not allowed to hold her. I want her home, where she belongs.

Daniel: Well, you can't do any of that stuff, especially not like that.

Phyllis: Well, I can't now, right? I'm screwed. I screwed this up for good, didn't I?

Daisy: Did you see crabby granny's face? Ooh, she was so upset. Burn! And what about daddy Daniel? He's a sneaky one. One thing for sure-- we're growing on him. Yeah, it's true. Pretty soon, it's gonna be all of us together, just the three of us, like it always should have been.

Lucy: (Fusses)

Daisy: Yeah.

Victoria: And I know that Billy is dying to speak to you, so call him, Jack. Um, and in case you didn't know, Adam was pulled in for questioning by the police, so he's off the streets... for now, and at least that's something. All right, take care. (Sighs)

Chelsea: Hey. Your face-- what did I do?

Victoria: You know, that message that I just left for Jack was just another reminder of how disgusting Adam is. Please stay away from him.

Chelsea: Yeah, sure, of course.

Victoria: Okay.

Chelsea: (Sighs)

Jack: Boy, Adam must really be slipping. He didn't think we'd use his confession against him?

Paul: Makes you wonder what he was after in the first place. Forgiveness? I really don't buy it.

Jack: Some backhanded gloating? I mean, that would be his M.O.

Paul: I'd feel a lot better if this police questioning turned into a warrant for his arrest.

Jack: And then a trial and a conviction. We have to be ready for this. This is gonna be a marathon, not a sprint-- says the guy sitting in a wheelchair.

Paul: We're gonna need corroborating evidence that Adam facilitated in Patty's escape.

Jack: We'll get it, and we will put Adam away.

Adam: My lawyer here yet?

Victor: I heard they brought you in for questioning.

Adam: Are you here to help them build a case?

Victor: I'm here to help you through this.

Next on "The Young and the Restless"...

Tucker: I got big plans for you, my friend.

Cane: I am Jill's right hand now at Jabot.

Genevieve: (Exhales sharply)

Nikki: I don't know where your head is these days. I just know that I don't like it.

Victor: What the hell has gotten into you?
