‘RUN, NOAH, RUN!’Mitch’s SCREAM Saves Noah’s Life From a DEADLY Assassin!”The Young And The Restless
ACT I — “RUN NOW”
The rain lashes against a lonely cabin outside Toronto.
Noah Newman stares out the window as thunder cracks — and then Mitch Reynolds bursts in, soaked and terrified.
Mitch (shouting): “Noah, RUN NOW!”
Seconds later, the back door explodes open — a masked gunman enters, firing.
Chaos erupts. Mitch returns fire, shouting that “they found us.”
As bullets shred the walls, Mitch shoves Noah toward the woods.
Mitch: “Go through the ravine! There’s a car waiting. They don’t want me — they want you!”
Noah hesitates — until Mitch’s grim admission lands like a thunderclap:
Mitch: “Because you saw something in Toronto. Something you weren’t supposed to.”
Flashback: Noah at a dark warehouse — Mitch arguing with shadowy figures, a deal, a briefcase marked “Project Raven.”
Noah realizes — Mitch was there that night.
ACT II — THE STANDOFF
Rain pelts the truck windshield as Mitch and Noah tear through the forest roads.
The assassin steps into the headlights, gun raised.
Mitch (growling): “You’ll have to kill me first.”
Assassin (coldly): “That was always the plan.”
Gunfire explodes. Mitch is hit in the shoulder but still fights back.
Mitch (to Noah): “If I don’t make it, find Phyllis Summers. She knows where the files are.”
Noah protests — but Mitch shoves his hand onto the gear shift.
Mitch (screaming): “RUN NOW!”
Noah floors it. The truck fishtails away as Mitch stays behind, buying time with his last bullets.
ACT III — PHILLIS TO THE RESCUE
At The Grand Phoenix, Phyllis answers a desperate call.
Noah (on phone): “They’re coming for me. Mitch is hit!”
Phyllis: “Get to the service entrance. I’ll have security waiting.”
Moments later, she finds Mitch bleeding at the cabin, standing over the fallen assassin.
Phyllis (aiming gun): “Drop it!”
She shoots, wounding the attacker, who flees into the woods.
As Mitch collapses, Phyllis kneels beside him.
Mitch (whispering): “It’s someone inside Newman… someone close.”
Then he passes out.
ACT IV — THE FILES
At the Grand Phoenix safe room, Phyllis reveals a hidden flash drive:
“This is what Mitch was protecting — proof that someone used Newman Enterprises to launder money for assassinations.”
Noah scrolls the files:
Project Raven → Operation Toronto → Eclipse.
A photo flashes onscreen. It’s Noah.
Noah (stunned): “Oh my God… I was the target.”
Phyllis: “That’s why Mitch yelled for you to run. He wasn’t saving himself — he was saving you.”
ACT V — THE NEWMAN REACTION
At Newman Ranch, the patriarch learns the truth.
Victor Newman sits in his study as Nick bursts in, frantic.
Nick: “Dad, someone tried to kill Noah!”
Victor (coldly): “I know.”
He closes a dossier — its title: “PROJECT RAINFALL.”
Victor: “I’ve been tracking this for months. There’s a traitor inside Newman. And when I find them, they’ll wish they’d never been born.”
ACT VI — THE REVEAL: MITCH’S TRUE IDENTITY
In a shocking twist, Sharon uncovers a hidden file.
Sharon: “Mitch isn’t Mitch Reynolds. His real name is Elliot Shaw — ex–Ashland Locke security.”
Nick’s face darkens.
Nick: “You’re telling me Noah’s protector is a criminal?”
Sharon: “Or a spy. But he’s not working for Victor — he’s working against whoever stole from him.”
The revelation triggers a power struggle between Victor, Victoria, and Phyllis — each suspecting the other of covering up the Newman scandal.
ACT VII — THE WAREHOUSE SHOWDOWN
Phyllis and Sharon track Mitch (now Elliot) to an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of Genoa City.
They find him alive, cornered — holding a burner phone.
Sharon (furious): “Cut the act, Elliot! We know who you are.”
Phyllis (mocking): “Ashland Locke’s golden boy. Identity theft, blackmail — impressive résumé.”
Mitch (desperate): “You don’t understand — I’m undercover. Holden and Sienna are building something called Project Rainfall. They’re using Newman data.”
Phyllis opens a locker — inside: stacks of documents, encrypted drives, and photos of Newman board members.
Phyllis (shocked): “This is real.”
Suddenly — gunfire erupts. Holden’s men have arrived. Mitch returns fire as Sharon drags Phyllis toward the exit.
Mitch (shouting): “They found us! RUN NOW!”
The warehouse explodes behind them.
ACT VIII — THE AFTERMATH
At Newman Ranch, Sharon delivers the recovered flash drive to Victor.
Sharon: “Mitch wasn’t our enemy. He was exposing something inside Newman — Project Rainfall.”
Victor loads the decrypted files.
His eyes narrow at one document labeled “Holden Black – Jabotech Intelligence Transfer.”
Victor (growling): “So… Holden’s been stealing from both Newman and Jabot.”
Victoria: “Then we end this tonight.”
Lightning flashes as Victor pours himself a drink.
Victor (coldly): “They wanted a war. Now they’ll get one.”
ACT IX — EPILOGUE: PHASE TWO
In a dark hideout, Mitch/Elliot sits alone, bloodied but alive.
He dials a secure line.
Mitch: “They know about Rainfall. Sharon exposed me. I had to burn everything.”
Voice (distorted): “Then it’s time. Move to Phase Two.”
Mitch (grim): “Understood.”
He looks straight into the camera.
“I never wanted Sharon to find out… but it’s too late now.”
Cut to black.
The storm rages over Genoa City.
