too much, did they? >> Sheila: Oh, no. No.
If anything, I'm happier than I was before.

the past that have had frightening consequences.
But this? I thought I knew him.

I didn't think that my dad could surprise me any more
than he already has in the past and he sure
proved me wrong. I mean, Wy-- Wyatt and I were just
over there pleading with him. He's not--

he's finally found the woman of his dreams.

I mean, they're all trying to get him to listen
to reason, but he is shutting everyone down.

who hasn't talked to him yet. One person he values
and respects more than just about anyone.

Look, we all know how close you were with Bill

and get him to stop this insanity,
it would be you. ♪♪

you talked to your father? That mean he knows
what Taylor did? >> Liam: He knows that
my dad blackmailed Steffy and Finn. He does not know
about what. >> Hope: Same with Aunt Katie.
>> Brooke: Well, I'm not one for advocating secrets,
but I can also understand why Taylor wouldn't want
the whole world to know. Only a few of us do
and she still feels horrible about that night.
>> Hope: You two really are becoming close friends,
aren't you? >> Brooke: Yeah, it's amazing.
I was just talking to her before I came over here.
She's-- she's really upset that that night
is being used this way. >> Liam: Yeah, even though
my dad promised that he wouldn't breathe a word of it.
>> Brooke: As much as Taylor doesn't want anybody to find
out, she's really tempted to just confess.
Just take all the power away from Sheila.
Steffy and I told her that's not a good idea.
>> Liam: Then that's understandable 'cause if
my dad's paying off the judge, like,
what's the point? Like, what good does it do
for Taylor to turn herself in if it doesn't
mean Sheila's gonna do time, too?
>> Hope: Is there a way to prove that Judge McMullan
has been bought? Or at least a way to assign
a different judge to the case? >> Liam: I don't-- I don't
think that would do any good because knowing my dad,
he'd be willing to pay off every judge in town as long
as it kept Sheila out of jail.
>> Brooke: God. What? He's that convinced that
he is in love with her? In love with this monster?
I mean, it wasn't so long ago where he professed
his love to me. >> Liam: He's a different
person now. You should see him, Brooke.
I mean, and you will. He's hollow, he's muted,

that they're... in love.

I have no choice. I've gotta go see him.

given me and I'm not talking just about helping me stay
out of prison. You believed in me,
you defended me, and you loved me,

chosen me. I can't believe it.

might happen. >> Hope: Well, aren't you?

do this, Bill? You would threaten Taylor's

to your father, but if he really wanted

wasn't herself, right? Like, she-- she literally
didn't know what she was doing.
>> Hope: Certainly not. She was still reeling from
the news of what she thought had happened to Steffy.
I'm sure when she went over to confront your father,
she never intended to hurt him. >> Liam: But my dad left
a gun out. It was just sitting right there,
rage took over, and she did the unthinkable.
[ gun shot firing ] because I thought I was
the one who did it. >> Hope: Or maybe it was
because you convinced yourself because of how upset you were
with what your father did. >> Liam: Well, yeah,
but that goes to show the cruel tricks our brains
can play on us. >> Hope: Especially after
you've had a concussion. >> Liam: It is strange,
I mean, I still actually remember myself doing it
and I think that's just my mind's way of coping
with the betrayal, like, you know, like, I imagined--
I imagined my father dead and-- and then I imagined
myself making that happen. >> Hope: I know how upsetting
that was for you, Liam, but I think Bill made quite
a few enemies leading up to that shooting.

Taylor confessed to my dad because for one,
that couldn't have been easy and two, if she hadn't done
that I-- I would still probably be blaming myself
for it. >> Hope: Do you really think
that Bill is that calculating, that he has
just kept it in the back of his mind all these years
to use against her? >> Liam: No. No, I don't.
I-- I actually think that my dad meant it when
he promised to keep quiet about what Taylor did and
it was Sheila who came along and manipulated him
into changing his mind. >> Hope: But at the same time,
Liam, Bill has chosen to align himself with her.
He's chosen to be with a murderer.

Sheila over the safety of his own family.

your home, this is Bill's home. >> Sheila: All right,
now you're just being rude. >> Brooke: No, I'm not--
I'm not being rude. Really, that's not my intention.
My intention is to come and help a friend out.

came over to me the day that Ridge and Taylor
were getting married? You-- you professed your
love to me. You told me you would do anything for me.
Well, now is that time. I am begging you.
You need to see Sheila for who she really is.
You say that you love me, and yet you claim to love
this woman the same way? She's opposite of who I am.
I know what you need. I know because I've been there.
And Sheila is not the woman that you need.
Take this off, Bill. You think it's protecting you,
but it's not. It's clouding your judgement
because you are a good man, Bill. You're a good man
who deserves to have a good woman by his side
for the rest of your life. And that's not Sheila
because all she is gonna do is bring heartache.
She's dangerous. She's gonna hurt you,
your family, because that is Sheila. That is all
she knows how to do. You can prevent that,
you know. All you need to do is pick up the phone,
call the police, get them over here,

bars today. >> Bill: You're right, Brooke.
