>> Steffy: Tom and Hollis died from overdosing on the same
drug at the same location. >> Li: Yes.
And comparing to Tom's report, the exact same level
of toxicity. Steffy: Oh, my God.
>> Li: That's not a coincidence. Steffy: No.
Sheila murdered them. I mean, she was a nurse,
a medical professional. She knows all about dosing.
Finn, she needs to be stopped before she hurts someone else.
>> Li: Stephy's right, Finn. This only further implicates
Sheila.
>> Sheila: Look at me. Deacon. I know that you hurt over
what happened to Tom and--and Hollis, but--
>> Deacon: I'm not hurt. I'm freaking out.
They are my friends-- >> Sheila: Look, it was
a tragedy. It was a tragedy what happened
to the two of them. But I don't want you
to let your mind run wild with thoughts of murder.
>> Baker: Did somebody say murder?
>> Deacon: Chief Baker. >> Baker: In the flesh.
I have questions about the two recent deaths
in your establishment. ♪♪♪
>> Hope: So no word from Steffy? >> Ridge: Nope.
>> Brooke: She has to be at the hospital by now.
I'm hoping she'll have some answers soon.
>> Hope: Gosh, it just feels like yesterday I was at
dad and Sheila's wedding. Tom was officiating.
Hollis was making sure everything was perfect
about the day, and... I don't know. I just don't
understand how they're gone. >> Ridge: What don't you
understand? It's Sheila. I don't know how or why,
but she killed those men. ♪♪♪
>> Ridge: I don't know why Sheila does what she does.
She's a psychopath. There's never a reason
for what she's... what she's doing.
Two people are dead at El Giardino's because of her.
>> Carter: Sounds like you've heard the latest.
>> Brooke: Hollis. It's a tragedy.
>> Carter: Yeah. My contact at the police
department reached out. I have information
about what killed them. It was an overdose.
♪♪♪ >> Baker: Shouldn't leave
your door open like that. Been a lot of death
around here recently. >> Deacon: We're feeling
the loss. >> Baker: That's why I'm here.
Two of your employees have died in your restaurant, Deacon.
We need to investigate that. >> Deacon: I understand.
And they weren't just employees. They were my friends.
>> Baker: I need to find out exactly what happened
with both men. ♪♪♪
>> Li: We all know this is Sheila's doing.
I was just on my way to confront her at Il Giardino.
>> Steffy: I was planning to do the same.
>> Finn: If Sheila killed these men and is back to her old ways,
is having an altercation with her wise?
>> Steffy: Since when has standing by waiting for her
to attack helped us? >> Li: It hasn't.
It left you both shot, nearly dying in an alley.
>> Steffy: Never again. I'm confronting Sheila,
and you both are coming with me. She is too arrogant
and hot-headed right now. She's not gonna be able
to hide this. We can... We can put enough pressure
on her, and she'll slip. She always does.
I'm not gonna rest until that woman is rotting
in prison for the rest of her godforsaken life.
>> Ridge: So let me get this straight.
Two people died, not only in the same place,
but overdosing on the same drug? >> Carter: According to the
toxicology report, yes. >> Hope: But we've established
that Hollis cared about his health.
He cared about his fitness. And now you're telling us
that he died of a drug overdose at work?
>> Brooke: You think they were doing drugs together?
>> Carter: I can't tell you that. I only know
what the report says. How's Deacon?
>> Hope: He's not doing well. Tom and Hollis were his friends.
When he first took over Il Giardino, Hollis was the one
who helped him put his vision together.
And Tom, well, he obviously was an important part
of my dad's life. >> Ridge: Because he saved
Sheila's life. That's kind of ironic.
>> Brooke: That could be a tragic coincidence.
>> Ridge: It's never a coincidence when she's involved.
You know that. >> Carter: When I heard
the news, my mind went there too.
>> Ridge: Yeah, exactly. So there it is, just waiting
for the other shoe to drop. And there it is.
Sheila's other shoe dropped. Two people dead
on the victim list. >> Hope: Oh, but...
why them, though? It doesn't- >> Ridge: Why not them?
What...? This is Sheila. She tried to kill my daughter
to get closer to Finn and Hayes. That's what she does.
She's psychotic. Sheila Carter.
♪♪♪ >> Baker: All right, Deacon.
Walk me through the moments before Mr. Starr died.
>> Deacon: Okay. Um, you know, he was up on stage.
He was performing. He--It was amazing.
You know, Tom actually was a pretty big musician
back in the day. Even had a song
on the radio once and... It just... It felt good
to give him a platform to, you know, be reliving
that part of his life again. And he was...
He was playing so well. >> Sheila: Yeah.
>> Deacon: You know, it was a great night, and then...
Then he collapsed. We just called 911.
>> Sheila: I--I used to be a nurse,
so I--I did what I could, but he--he just went so fast.
>> Deacon: We learned later that it was an overdose, and...
It's heartbreaking. You know, Tom dealt with
addiction, but he cleaned himself up. I mean,
he had an opportunity for a second chance.
>> Baker: Sorry for your loss. Losses.
Sadly, it happens so often. But now that another employee
has died downstairs, a case has been opened.
>> Sheila: A case? >> Baker: Yes, to make sure
there was no foul play.
>> Deacon: What are you doing here?
>> Steffy: I knew it. Glad to see that the police
are involved. >> Sheila: We're cooperating,
Steffy, There's no need for all of this.
>> Baker: If there's something you'd like to add,
we could talk at a different time.
>> Steffy: No, you're gonna want to hear this right now.
Finn, tell him. >> Finn: As I'm sure you're
aware, Hollis' autopsy was done at my hospital.
He died of an overdose. >> Deacon: No, no, no.
There's no way. No. Hollis...
Hollis didn't use. >> Li: There were drugs found
in his system when he died. >> Baker: I read the report.
This isn't news to me. >> Steffy: Tom and Hollis
overdosed on the same drug. >> Li: Same toxicity levels.
>> Steffy: Two men died, and we know why.
>> Sheila: [scoffs] Wait a minute.
Why are you looking at me? >> Steffy: Because it's you,
Sheila. You killed them.
>> Ridge: Now, what I'm saying is, I don't know if it's here
or not. I can look for it,
but not right this minute. [exhales]
Yes, I heard you, and I'm sure you did.
Okay.
>> Hollis: Here is to the beginning of a beautiful
friendship. >> Brooke: Yes.
I'll drink to that. >> Hollis: Cheers.
[glasses clink] Like you said, things change.
Hey... Don't underestimate me, Boss.
>> Ridge: I--I appreciate all your help. I do,
and I will get it figured out, but not...
But not right this moment. Ok... I'm--I'm gonna have
to call you back. I-I will.
Sorry about that. Sometimes...
Okay, I get it. Hollis taking drugs
is not adding up for you. Tom, different story, right?
He had his problems with alcohol, with drugs.
But Hollis... >> Brooke: No, nothing about
Hollis would lead anybody to believe that he had
a substance abuse. And Deacon's street smart.
He would have picked up if Hollis was using.
>> Ridge: Probably. So what is it?
Let's make sense of it, right? He didn't use drugs, but
he died of an overdose. How does that make sense to anybody?
>> Carter: If what you're saying about Hollis is true,
then it reinforces our theory that Sheila had a hand in this.
>> Ridge: Carter... It's a nice theory.
It really is. And I love you,
and I respect you, but... Let's call it what it is.
Can we do that? >> Brooke: Why is Sheila
not behind bars? >> Ridge: Or six feet under.
>> Brooke: After all the horrible things she's done
through her life, now she's running around,
and she possibly killed two innocent men?
>> Sheila: That's a dangerous accusation.
>> Steffy: Well, you're a dangerous animal.
>> Deacon: All right, Steffy, that's enough.
Please, just--just leave. All right? We're--we're
dealing with enough here. >> Steffy: How many people have
to suffer before you take this monster and lock her up?
Think about everything she's done to us.
She shot me. She shot Finn.
She drove Li off the road, left her for dead.
>> Li: And now Tom and Hollis are her latest victims.
>> Sheila: I didn't do this. >> Deacon: All right, listen,
if what you're saying about Tom and Hollis is true,
that they died of a drug overdose,
then it's ludicrous to blame Sheila.
You're not actually buying this, are you?
>> Baker: I wouldn't be a very good cop
if I didn't follow up every lead.
>> Sheila: But I didn't do this. >> Li: Lies.
This is what you do. You hurt people
and then do everything you can to cover it up.
>> Sheila: That's not true. >> Steffy: Nine toes
says otherwise. >> Sheila: I'm not that person
anymore. I've changed. I am in therapy.
I am married to the love of my life.
I am leading a simple, peaceful life.
>> Deacon: Look, these are false, erroneous claims,
and I'm not gonna tolerate it. >> Li: This woman--
>> Deacon: Okay, stop right there, all right?
In my house, you're gonna treat my wife with respect.
Look, you guys are way off base thinking that Sheila did this.
Il Giardino's, it's our home. Tom and Hollis
are like family to us. >> Sheila: But Tom...
If it weren't for him, Finn and Deacon never
would have found me chained up in that...
In that warehouse. And Hollis,
he treated me with respect. He never looked at me like
I was some sort of a monster. I cared deeply for both of them.
Now, I may have done some horrible things,
but I did not do this. I am not responsible
for Tom and Hollis' death. >> Li: Then tell us what
happened to them, Sheila. Hmm? Tell us.
>> Sheila: [sighs] Oh, my God. That's it.
>> Baker: What? >> Sheila: Hollis found
Tom's backpack, and he said that there was
something in that backpack that--that could have gotten
Tom killed, and now Hollis is dead, too.
>> Finn: What are you saying? >> Sheila: I'm saying the clue
is in that backpack, Finn. We've--we've got to find it.
♪♪♪
>> Steffy: The lies that come out of your mouth.
Now there's this mysterious backpack you just
conveniently remembered. >> Sheila: I am not lying.
>> Baker: Stephy, let me handle this.
Tell me some more about this backpack.
>> Sheila: [sighs]
What? What is that? >> Hollis: It's Tom's backpack.
>> Sheila: Why on earth would you have Tom's backpack?
>> Hollis: I've been trying to wrap my head around
how and why Tom died. I think I discovered something.
>> Sheila: Are--are you rifling through his stuff to find
his drug stash? >> Hollis: I... No.
No, not at all. >> Sheila: That's how he died,
Hollis. There's nothing for you
to wrap your head around.
That's the last time I saw Hollis.
I feel horrible for being so short with him, but I was...
I was still upset about Tom's death.
>> Deacon: It's okay. Hollis knew how you felt
about him. >> Baker: Did you know
about any of this? >> Deacon: No.
>> Baker: What was in the backpack?
>> Sheila: I don't know. >> Baker: You didn't look
inside? >> Sheila: No. I told him
to get rid of it. >> Baker: Why would you do that?
>> Sheila: Well, Tom had no family to leave it to,
and I was worried there might still be drugs in it.
I didn't want that attached to the restaurant.
>> Baker: Call the police, not throw it away.
>> Li: Unless you wanted to get rid of some damning evidence.
>> Sheila: You don't know what you're talking about.
I want to know who killed Hollis and Tom just as much
as all of you. >> Steffy: Yeah, I highly
doubt that. >> Sheila: G-give me a minute
to think. I just... The backpack.
That backpack still has to be here downstairs.
That's... That's where our answers are.
>> Brooke: Still nothing? >> Ridge: Uh, Stephi's not
answering her texts now. >> Carter: Is she okay?
>> Ridge: I'm sure she's fine. She's at the hospital trying
to get to the bottom of things. ♪♪♪
>> Baker: Wasn't in the stockroom.
>> Li: Or the dumpster. >> Sheila: Hollis used to stash
things behind the bar all the time.
Maybe it's here.
[sighs] It's--it's not here.
>> Steffy: Shocker. >> Li: Chief Baker, please.
Please, tell me you see what Sheila's doing.
>> Steffy: This is just a smoke screen.
>> Sheila: I'm telling the truth.
>> Deacon: Why would she lie about this?
>> Li: To cover up what she did.
>> Deacon: You know what? You have no motives.
You have no proof. All you have are
ridiculous accusations. >> Baker: Hey, hey, hey, hey.
I'm the only one running this investigation.
You understand?
Was Sheila with you that entire night?
>> Deacon: No, she... She came up to the apartment
a little bit later. >> Baker: Is that true?
>> Sheila: Of course it's true. But I also wasn't downstairs
killing Hollis. >> Steffy: Chief Baker,
take Sheila in for questioning.
I am not safe. Our family is not safe.
>> Li: Wouldn't be the first time two people
were harmed here.
There could be more if this doesn't end now.
>> Sheila: I had nothing to do with Tom and Hollis' death.
Chief Baker, you can't take me in. You can't.
Finn. Finn, say something.
I mean, you believe me, don't you?
Please, just say something. >> Finn: I believe in
second chances. I don't know what happened
to Tom and Hollis here, but what I do know is wherever
Sheila goes, destruction follows.
I have a family to protect. My wife's right.
And out of an abundance of caution,
and given Sheila's past crimes, we would feel safer,
and it would be prudent to take Sheila into
custody for questioning. >> Baker: Looks like we agree.

you don't mean this. ♪♪♪
