Bold and the beautiful - alternative version.

Why wait?

Thomas and Rick still talk.

Thomas: What?

Rick: You threatened my cousin's life... 

Thomas: What cousin?

Rick: Flo!

Thomas: Hope told you? No... She wouldn't.

Rick: Yeah she didn't. 

Thomas: Liam?

Rick: No. Flo told me herself. You would even try to kill her just to have Hope, right?

Thomas: I wouldn't kill her...

Rick: That is what you told her... 

Thomas: Rick...

Rick: If you will touch my cousin now... I will put you in jail where you should be since many months now. Remember!

Thomas: I don't want to hurt anyone... Ok?

Rick: Does Caroline know?

Thomas: Rick please! 

Rick: You're scared, right? How does it feel? Do you maybe feel... Threatened? 

Rick smiles at horrified Thomas.

Next scene: Steffy enters an office where Ridge and Brooke are.

Steffy: Hi

Brooke: Hi Steffy

Ridge: Why are you looking so sad?

Steffy: Brooke... Your son is in a weird mood... He has a problem with Thomas.

Ridge: What!?

Brooke: I don't get it...

Steffy: They are alone right now... Rick wanted to talk to him... Alone.

Brooke: I wonder why...

Steffy: Because he has something against Rick.

Ridge: What can he have against him?! 

Steffy: I don't know, but I'm worried... 

Brooke: It can't be that serious...

Steffy: What if... 

Ridge: What!?

Steffy: What if he wants to get revenge for what Thomas did to Hope? 

Next scene: Thomas and Rick are still arguing. 

Thomas: Rick, have mercy on my family and just... Leave this information to yourself. 

Rick: You have some nerve... If you would be in my position and you wanted Caroline... You would blackmail me. 

Thomas: Hold on... You want Caroline? 

Ridge walks into the office.

Ridge: What's going on?

Rick: Me and your son... We have a nice chat.

Ridge: It's not a nice chat. I see Thomas's face. 

Rick: Look Ridge... Your son has done some pretty nasty things to my sister and my cousin... And now he is a danger to Caroline and Douglas.

Thomas: I am not a danger to my family! 

Ridge: That's in the past... Don't you dare to ruin what Thomas and Caroline have!

Rick: Caroline should be able to make a decision if she wants to be with someone like Thomas or not... Right now she doesn't know him. 

Ridge looks very angry and Rick has a smug face.
