Emma and I had a confrontation. She wanted to go to you
and tell you about your baby and I wanted to stop her.
And I went after her, which is no secret.
I mean, Xander pulled the security footage.
It showed me leaving Forrester. That's when the accusations
started flying, that I ran her off a cliff.
But there was no proof. So Xander went to try and get
the GPS location to show I was there
at the accident site, but when the cops followed up,
I had already erased it. I knew with everyone knowing
about what had happened, me keeping the secret
about Beth, what they would think
if I was there that night. >> Hope: So, you were there?
So, Liam and Xander and their assumptions
about you somehow being involved...
are... >> Thomas: Yeah. I, uh,
I chased after her and we were both
driving very fast. And you know how at night time,
Mulholland can get very, very dangerous, especially if
you're driving fast. That's when it happened.
She went off the road, down into that canyon.
I saw it. But I didn't cause it, Hope.
I didn't kill her.
>> Hope: Did you try to help?
>> Thomas: No one could have survived that.
No one could survive that crash. I-- I should have
told you the truth about Beth and I never
meant to hurt her or you or... I never meant for Emma to die.
That's the truth about that night, Hope.
It's not like Xander said. I'm not a murderer.
And Hope, I...
Please tell me you can forgive me, please.
