1
00:00:02,335 --> 00:00:05,004
>> Victor: Well, think Nate's
contributions are always
2
00:00:05,071 --> 00:00:07,140
valuable.
>> Nate: I appreciate you saying
3
00:00:07,207 --> 00:00:10,043
that, Victor.
>> Michael: However, certain
4
00:00:10,110 --> 00:00:13,079
sensitive details have come to
light that should be kept on a
5
00:00:13,146 --> 00:00:16,649
need-to-know basis.
And since this is
6
00:00:16,716 --> 00:00:19,419
Newman Enterprises' corporate
business, which doesn't involve
7
00:00:19,486 --> 00:00:22,689
Newman Media, I'm sure you will
understand.
8
00:00:22,756 --> 00:00:24,691
>> Victoria: He already knows
about our plan to assume
9
00:00:24,758 --> 00:00:27,961
Tucker's outstanding debt, so
there's no need to talk around
10
00:00:28,027 --> 00:00:29,362
it.
It's why I wanted him in on this
11
00:00:29,429 --> 00:00:33,233
meeting in the first place.
Not only does Nate have the big,
12
00:00:33,299 --> 00:00:36,002
bold ideas that we need on
something like this.
13
00:00:36,069 --> 00:00:39,105
We also happen to have a key
element in place that is going
14
00:00:39,172 --> 00:00:42,075
to help us tremendously,
thanks to Nate.
15
00:00:42,142 --> 00:00:44,978
>> Michael: Oh, goody.
What might that be?
16
00:00:45,044 --> 00:00:49,416
>> Victor: I think Victoria's
referring to Nate's COO,
17
00:00:49,482 --> 00:00:53,820
Audra Charles, right?
18
00:01:09,302 --> 00:01:12,972
>> Tucker: Mind if I join you?
>> Audra: Yes, I do.
19
00:01:13,039 --> 00:01:19,479
>> Tucker: Ah.
How's the new gig going?
20
00:01:24,217 --> 00:01:27,187
Ahh.
Is, uh, Newman Media still
21
00:01:27,253 --> 00:01:29,088
planning a move on
Daniel Romalotti's gaming
22
00:01:29,155 --> 00:01:32,592
platform?
>> Audra: [ Sighs ]
23
00:01:32,659 --> 00:01:37,597
You didn't get the memo?
We're not in cahoots anymore.
24
00:01:37,664 --> 00:01:41,367
I thought I was clear when you
summoned me to talk about
25
00:01:41,434 --> 00:01:43,837
Omega Sphere.
>> Tucker: What was clear to me
26
00:01:43,903 --> 00:01:46,406
by the time you left my room is
that you still enjoy certain
27
00:01:46,473 --> 00:01:50,076
aspects of spending time with
me.
28
00:01:50,143 --> 00:01:52,679
You'll have to forgive me if I
assumed that meant still being
29
00:01:52,745 --> 00:01:57,617
in cahoots.
>> Audra: Why would I, uh, feed
30
00:01:57,684 --> 00:02:00,620
you information that could help
you and work against
31
00:02:00,687 --> 00:02:02,589
Newman Media?

00:02:43,062 --> 00:02:45,365
How you doing, man?
I heard you were back in town.
38
00:02:45,431 --> 00:02:46,533
>> Daniel: Yeah.
It's good to see you.

you, man.
40
00:02:48,167 --> 00:02:49,702
Been a minute.

Abby yet?

>> Daniel: I have.
Um, it's been great catching up
43
00:02:55,108 --> 00:02:57,343
with her.
>> Chance: Yeah, well, I assume
44
00:02:57,410 --> 00:03:00,280
you know we broke up then.
>> Daniel: I-I heard that.
45
00:03:00,346 --> 00:03:02,448
I'm sorry.
>> Chance: Eh, it is what it is,
46
00:03:02,515 --> 00:03:03,516
man.
Life happens.
47
00:03:03,583 --> 00:03:04,951
>> Daniel: [ Chuckles ]
>> Chance: How you doing?
48
00:03:05,018 --> 00:03:08,288
How are things with Heather?
>> Daniel: Well, let's just say
49
00:03:08,354 --> 00:03:13,192
that life happened for us, too.
>> Chance: Oh. That's too bad.
50
00:03:13,259 --> 00:03:15,028
I'm sorry.
>> Daniel: You know, I'm --
51
00:03:15,094 --> 00:03:17,530
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to take it to such
52
00:03:17,597 --> 00:03:20,233
a dark place.
>> Chance: No, it's okay, man.
53
00:03:20,300 --> 00:03:22,435
I, uh -- I can relate.
54
00:03:26,105 --> 00:03:32,078
>> Sally: [ Exhales sharply ]
>> Nick: Where do you want me to
55
00:03:32,145 --> 00:03:34,814
set up lunch?
>> Sally: Um, do you mind if --
56
00:03:34,881 --> 00:03:36,516
ugh! -- we hold off for a little
bit?
57
00:03:36,583 --> 00:03:39,686
'Cause I'm just a little too
wound up right now to eat.
58
00:03:39,752 --> 00:03:42,422
>> Nick: Yeah, no problem.
>> Sally: [ Sighs ]
59
00:03:42,488 --> 00:03:45,892
Man.
That paternity test was a lot
60
00:03:45,959 --> 00:03:48,661
quicker than I expected.
It's crazy how just a simple
61
00:03:48,728 --> 00:03:51,197
cheek swab can determine our
entire future.
62
00:03:51,264 --> 00:03:54,167
I don't know how I'm supposed to
focus on anything until we get
63
00:03:54,233 --> 00:03:59,138
the DNA results.
>> Nick: Remember what the tech
64
00:03:59,205 --> 00:04:02,275
said.
It's gonna take a few days.
65
00:04:02,342 --> 00:04:06,546
So we just got to make sure we
get some food in you and get
66
00:04:06,613 --> 00:04:10,116
some rest and relax because in
your condition, getting agitated
67
00:04:10,183 --> 00:04:12,318
is not good for you or --
>> Sally: The baby.
68
00:04:12,385 --> 00:04:17,290
Yes, I know it's not -- it's
not good for the baby.
69
00:04:17,357 --> 00:04:21,761
How are you so calm?
I mean, this is so overwhelming.
70
00:04:30,036 --> 00:04:32,005
>> Nick: The real impact on our
lives has already happened,
71
00:04:32,071 --> 00:04:34,374
right?
You're pregnant.
72
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:36,743
And I've told you I'm here for
the duration.
73
00:04:36,809 --> 00:04:39,345
I think I've done a pretty good
job of trying to convince you of
74
00:04:39,412 --> 00:04:42,482
that.
>> Sally: Yeah, absolutely.
75
00:04:42,548 --> 00:04:45,485
It's just the not knowing
whether you're the father or
76
00:04:45,551 --> 00:04:47,186
Adam is.
That's the big question mark.
77
00:04:47,253 --> 00:04:49,522
That's what's hard.
I mean, I was ready to climb
78
00:04:49,589 --> 00:04:52,025
walls after having to wait just
a few minutes for a pregnancy
79
00:04:52,091 --> 00:04:53,760
test.
How in the world am I supposed
80
00:04:53,826 --> 00:04:55,395
to get through the next few
days?
81
00:04:55,461 --> 00:04:58,264
>> Nick: You got this.
I have faith in you.
82
00:04:58,331 --> 00:05:01,200
>> Sally: How are you so calm
when you don't even know if
83
00:05:01,267 --> 00:05:02,735
you're gonna be changing diapers
again?
84
00:05:02,802 --> 00:05:04,804
I'm sure you thought you were
done with all of that.
85
00:05:04,871 --> 00:05:07,507
I mean, Christian is becoming
more self-sufficient now, and
86
00:05:07,573 --> 00:05:11,744
Sum--
Oh, my God.
87
00:05:11,811 --> 00:05:13,946
This baby could be Summer's
little brother or sister.
88
00:05:14,013 --> 00:05:17,350
She's gonna hate that.
>> Nick: Yeah, let's not think
89
00:05:17,417 --> 00:05:20,019
about things like that, okay?
It just stresses you out.
90
00:05:20,086 --> 00:05:22,655
Just take a deep breath.
>> Sally: No, you're right.
91
00:05:22,722 --> 00:05:25,692
I mean, it might not even be
yours.
92
00:05:25,758 --> 00:05:33,499
[ Exhales sharply ]
And if it's not yours, then I
93
00:05:33,566 --> 00:05:36,669
just have to deal with Adam
being the father...
94
00:05:36,736 --> 00:05:40,506
and telling him.
>> Nick: [ Sighs ]
95
00:05:40,573 --> 00:05:43,342
Yeah.
Well, we've talked about this.
96
00:05:43,409 --> 00:05:46,279
You don't have to tell him
anything right now.
97
00:05:46,345 --> 00:05:51,451
You can choose when and how you
want to handle all these things,
98
00:05:51,517 --> 00:05:54,320
when it's best for you.
Personally, I wish he never had
99
00:05:54,387 --> 00:05:56,355
to know.
>> Sally: Yeah, well, that's why
100
00:05:56,422 --> 00:05:58,891
I started out just testing your
DNA.
101
00:05:58,958 --> 00:06:02,595
You know, and if things turn out
like we're hoping, it would
102
00:06:02,662 --> 00:06:09,569
simplify things immensely.
But is it the right thing?
103
00:06:09,635 --> 00:06:12,672
>> Nick: Ethically, you mean?
>> Sally: I just mean Adam is
104
00:06:12,739 --> 00:06:14,774
eventually gonna know I'm
pregnant.
105
00:06:14,841 --> 00:06:17,677
You know, I -- There's no way I
can hide that.
106
00:06:17,744 --> 00:06:20,146
And he's going to be able to do
the math, and we both know he's
107
00:06:20,213 --> 00:06:23,649
not gonna ignore the possibility
that he could be the father.
108
00:06:23,716 --> 00:06:27,587
Maybe I should just bite the
bullet and tell him.
109
00:06:30,857 --> 00:06:32,825
>> Daniel: Man, you're this
literal hero and I'm just the
110
00:06:32,892 --> 00:06:35,461
guy who screwed everything up
and yet here we are, more or
111
00:06:35,528 --> 00:06:37,530
less the same place.
>> Chance: Yeah.
112
00:06:37,597 --> 00:06:40,500
Well, you think putting
physical distance in between you
113
00:06:40,566 --> 00:06:43,402
and Heather will help?
>> Daniel: Actually, I came back
114
00:06:43,469 --> 00:06:46,172
here to work on this exciting
new venture, um, with your
115
00:06:46,239 --> 00:06:48,341
family's company.
Well, yours and Lily's.
116
00:06:48,407 --> 00:06:49,709
>> Chance: No way.
You're working with
117
00:06:49,776 --> 00:06:51,077
Chancellor-Winters.
>> Daniel: Mm-hmm.
118
00:06:51,144 --> 00:06:52,845
>> Chance: Doing what?
>> Daniel: Haven't got the
119
00:06:52,912 --> 00:06:56,649
official green light yet, but,
um, I pitched them on our new
120
00:06:56,716 --> 00:06:58,851
video game platform.
>> Chance: You're kidding.
121
00:06:58,918 --> 00:07:00,820
>> Daniel: Mm-hmm.
Eh, it probably seems pretty
122
00:07:00,887 --> 00:07:02,922
frivolous to you.
>> Chance: Mnh. No.
123
00:07:02,989 --> 00:07:06,125
Hey, Abby's nephews gave me a
crash course on one of their
124
00:07:06,192 --> 00:07:08,327
favorite video games a while
back, so I get it, man.
125
00:07:08,394 --> 00:07:11,264
I get what a big deal they are.
>> Daniel: Mm.
126
00:07:11,330 --> 00:07:13,299
I got into gaming 'cause of my
daughter.
127
00:07:13,366 --> 00:07:16,702
I'm hoping that'll be my path
back to her, you know?
128
00:07:16,769 --> 00:07:20,740
If I can pull this off, maybe I
can prove to Lucy and Heather
129
00:07:20,807 --> 00:07:23,810
that I've grown, that I've
matured.
130
00:07:23,876 --> 00:07:26,979
Then they'll be able to trust me
again, and -- I don't know --
131
00:07:27,046 --> 00:07:29,015
hopefully one day, it'll bring
us back together.
132
00:07:31,651 --> 00:07:35,588
>> Nate: Audra was Tucker's mole
at Chancellor-Winters.
133
00:07:35,655 --> 00:07:39,158
While consulting on the IPO, she
fed him information to help him
134
00:07:39,225 --> 00:07:42,461
gain a controlling interest once
the company went public.
135
00:07:42,528 --> 00:07:45,998
>> Michael: And now she's here
at a Newman subsidiary.
136
00:07:46,065 --> 00:07:48,534
>> Nate: She no longer works for
Tucker, but it seems she can
137
00:07:48,601 --> 00:07:50,269
still get his ear whenever she
needs to.
138
00:07:50,336 --> 00:07:53,973
>> Michael: How convenient.
>> Nate: Most importantly, Audra
139
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:57,643
knows how the man's mind works
and how to play him.
140
00:07:57,710 --> 00:08:00,847
She can be a valuable asset in
any plan to take over
141
00:08:00,913 --> 00:08:03,049
McCall Unlimited.
>> Victor: I agree.
142
00:08:03,115 --> 00:08:07,453
I think she could be of use --
if she's on board.
143
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:09,689
Do we know where her loyalties
lie?
144
00:08:09,755 --> 00:08:14,193
>> Nate: I can't speak for my
COO, but she's been pretty vocal
145
00:08:14,260 --> 00:08:17,396
about her frustration with
Tucker regarding their dealings
146
00:08:17,463 --> 00:08:20,733
with Chancellor-Winters.
Audra's made it clear she has
147
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,302
something to prove to the man,
which we can use to our
148
00:08:23,369 --> 00:08:25,471
advantage.
>> Michael: Alright, I can see
149
00:08:25,538 --> 00:08:29,108
the value of having a team
member who can assess our
150
00:08:29,175 --> 00:08:32,845
target's state of mind,
but can she be trusted?
151
00:08:32,912 --> 00:08:36,282
She was a double agent at
Chancellor-Winters.
152
00:08:36,349 --> 00:08:38,851
What assurance do we have that
she's not working with Tucker
153
00:08:38,918 --> 00:08:39,819
to play us?
154
00:08:44,457 --> 00:08:47,827
>> Tucker: No, I'm just asking
about the gaming platform out of
155
00:08:47,894 --> 00:08:52,265
curiosity.
>> Audra: Oh, sure you are.
156
00:08:52,331 --> 00:08:55,501
>> Tucker: Oh, Audra, as God is
my witness, I would never
157
00:08:55,568 --> 00:08:57,737
sabotage you.
You know that.
158
00:08:57,803 --> 00:09:00,339
Just a little friendly
competition.
159
00:09:00,406 --> 00:09:03,476
>> Audra: Is that really your
thing?
160
00:09:03,542 --> 00:09:05,845
>> Tucker: I already made my
pitch to Daniel anyway, and he
161
00:09:05,912 --> 00:09:08,414
was very impressed.
But I would like to know
162
00:09:08,481 --> 00:09:11,984
Newman Media's intentions to
help me decide whether to get
163
00:09:12,051 --> 00:09:19,058
more aggressive or, if need be,
move on.
164
00:09:19,125 --> 00:09:22,662
>> Audra: I might consider
sharing some information with
165
00:09:22,728 --> 00:09:26,532
you if you share some with me
first.
166
00:09:26,599 --> 00:09:28,434
>> Tucker: What would you like
to know?
167
00:09:28,501 --> 00:09:34,607
>> Audra: Mm.
Tell me the truth.
168
00:09:34,674 --> 00:09:37,843
Just how much debt are you in
really?
169
00:09:46,085 --> 00:09:49,088
>> Tucker: I am amazed that that
rumor is flying around.
170
00:09:49,155 --> 00:09:52,091
It really makes me wonder where
it originated 'cause it's
171
00:09:52,158 --> 00:09:54,460
clearly an attempt to undermine
me.
172
00:09:54,527 --> 00:09:57,263
>> Audra: By whom?
>> Tucker: Well, uh, Nick and
173
00:09:57,330 --> 00:10:00,166
Victoria Newman asked me about
it directly, so maybe it came
174
00:10:00,232 --> 00:10:04,403
from Victor.
Um, and we all know that Nikki
175
00:10:04,470 --> 00:10:07,506
has it in for me.
Hell, it could have been Jack as
176
00:10:07,573 --> 00:10:09,542
a counterpunch to me trying to
acquire Jabot.
177
00:10:09,608 --> 00:10:16,449
>> Audra: Or maybe Ashley as a
parting shot or Devon to express
178
00:10:16,515 --> 00:10:18,851
his irritation with you.
>> Tucker: Yeah, there are so
179
00:10:18,918 --> 00:10:22,154
many people in this town to
choose from.
180
00:10:22,221 --> 00:10:25,725
>> Audra: You know, I find it
remarkable just how many enemies
181
00:10:25,791 --> 00:10:27,760
you've made in the short time
you've been back in town.
182
00:10:27,827 --> 00:10:28,995
>> Tucker: I don't consider them
enemies.
183
00:10:29,061 --> 00:10:35,067
They're just worthy adversaries.
>> Audra: Of course, there's
184
00:10:35,134 --> 00:10:38,904
another possibility.
>> Tucker: Who'd we leave out?
185
00:10:38,971 --> 00:10:41,674
>> Audra: Maybe it's not a
rumor.
186
00:10:41,741 --> 00:10:45,277
Maybe McCall Unlimited really
is floundering.
187
00:10:45,344 --> 00:10:47,947
>> Tucker: Does that seem likely
to you?
188
00:10:48,014 --> 00:10:49,915
Your checks always cleared,
didn't they?
189
00:10:49,982 --> 00:10:52,618
>> Audra: [ Scoffs ]
I mean, you didn't pay me nearly
190
00:10:52,685 --> 00:10:55,454
enough for that to put a dent in
your bottom line.
191
00:10:55,521 --> 00:10:58,324
>> Tucker: If I were having
financial issues, it wouldn't
192
00:10:58,391 --> 00:11:01,127
make any sense for me to plot to
buy a controlling interest in
193
00:11:01,193 --> 00:11:04,530
Chancellor-Winters or make a
move on Omega Sphere.
194
00:11:04,597 --> 00:11:07,600
>> Audra: In business school, I
read numerous case studies about
195
00:11:07,666 --> 00:11:13,406
moguls who use other people's
and the bank's money to finance
196
00:11:13,472 --> 00:11:16,475
acquisitions.
Just...
197
00:11:16,542 --> 00:11:19,512
>> Tucker: Well, I hope that
when they write about me that my
198
00:11:19,578 --> 00:11:22,715
story's a little more
interesting than that.
199
00:11:22,782 --> 00:11:25,785
Who knows?
Maybe you'll merit a mention.
200
00:11:25,851 --> 00:11:28,354
>> Audra: I'm no mere footnote,
okay?
201
00:11:28,421 --> 00:11:31,490
My career is gonna be worthy of
an article of its own.
202
00:11:31,557 --> 00:11:33,826
>> Tucker: Yes, I know.
You're a confident woman.
203
00:11:33,893 --> 00:11:37,430
I've always admired that.
>> Audra: You still haven't told
204
00:11:37,496 --> 00:11:38,497
me anything.
>> Tucker: What?
205
00:11:38,564 --> 00:11:39,932
>> Audra: No.
>> Tucker: I think I've been
206
00:11:39,999 --> 00:11:42,902
quite clear.
>> Audra: Alright.
207
00:11:42,968 --> 00:11:45,571
I have a meeting, okay?
If you're not gonna be straight
208
00:11:45,638 --> 00:11:47,540
with me, I'm not gonna share
anything that I know about
209
00:11:47,606 --> 00:11:49,608
Newman Media's intentions.
>> Tucker: Well, you know what?
210
00:11:49,675 --> 00:11:51,444
I think your offer is not a fair
trade.
211
00:11:51,510 --> 00:11:52,878
>> Audra: Oh.
>> Tucker: Why would I give up
212
00:11:52,945 --> 00:11:54,847
valuable information to learn
what I already know?
213
00:11:54,914 --> 00:11:57,183
Nate is interested in
Omega Sphere.
214
00:11:57,249 --> 00:12:00,586
So I think I'm gonna pass.
>> Audra: That's almost an
215
00:12:00,653 --> 00:12:01,554
acknowledgment.
216
00:12:03,823 --> 00:12:05,124
>> Nate: Audra has proven her
217
00:12:05,191 --> 00:12:07,393
loyalty.
>> Victor: In what way?
218
00:12:07,460 --> 00:12:09,895
>> Nick: There's a new venture
I'm interested in.
219
00:12:09,962 --> 00:12:12,665
She found out Tucker is going
after it, as well, and she's
220
00:12:12,731 --> 00:12:14,733
determined to help me get ahead
of him on this.
221
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:16,769
>> Michael: And yet you worked
with this woman for months at
222
00:12:16,836 --> 00:12:19,105
Chancellor-Winters and had no
idea what she was up to.
223
00:12:19,171 --> 00:12:23,776
>> Nate: She fooled all of us,
including Jill, who hired her in
224
00:12:23,843 --> 00:12:26,579
the first place.
But that was before Audra's
225
00:12:26,645 --> 00:12:29,915
eyes were open and she became
disillusioned with Tucker.
226
00:12:29,982 --> 00:12:35,254
So, yes, I believe she's loyal.
She's also grateful to have her
227
00:12:35,321 --> 00:12:37,423
job here and eager to prove her
worth.
228
00:12:37,490 --> 00:12:41,994
>> Michael: I'm glad you have a
good working relationship.
229
00:12:42,061 --> 00:12:45,264
I'm still not convinced we need
to bring in anyone else on this.
230
00:12:45,331 --> 00:12:48,167
We have everything we need to
move against Tucker by assuming
231
00:12:48,234 --> 00:12:50,136
his debt.
>> Nate: Look, I'm curious about
232
00:12:50,202 --> 00:12:54,240
that.
Could Tucker have made himself
233
00:12:54,306 --> 00:12:58,377
so vulnerable that he could lose
control of his entire company?
234
00:12:58,444 --> 00:13:01,213
Is he really that desperate?
>> Victoria: That's a great
235
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:04,483
question.
What do you think?
236
00:13:04,550 --> 00:13:07,119
>> Victor: Michael?
>> Michael: I just discovered
237
00:13:07,186 --> 00:13:12,158
and relayed to Victor that, uh,
buying McCall's debt will give
238
00:13:12,224 --> 00:13:16,295
us leverage, but not absolute
control.
239
00:13:16,362 --> 00:13:19,431
We'll still need to convince
Tucker to sell to us.
240
00:13:19,498 --> 00:13:22,134
>> Victoria: Which is a battle
in itself.
241
00:13:22,201 --> 00:13:26,539
>> Nick: What I'm really
asking -- could Tucker have
242
00:13:26,605 --> 00:13:30,509
taken on this debt on purpose?
Is it possible he's laying some
243
00:13:30,576 --> 00:13:33,779
kind of trap for us?
I mean, the man thinks several
244
00:13:33,846 --> 00:13:37,716
moves ahead, not unlike you,
Victor, although I'm not sure
245
00:13:37,783 --> 00:13:40,319
what his endgame would be.
>> Victor: The question has
246
00:13:40,386 --> 00:13:44,223
occurred to me, as well.
I don't see any downside to
247
00:13:44,290 --> 00:13:49,061
acquiring his debt.
But I like the way your mind
248
00:13:49,128 --> 00:13:51,463
works.
>> Victoria: This does sound
249
00:13:51,530 --> 00:13:54,366
like the kind of challenge that
Tucker relishes.
250
00:13:54,433 --> 00:13:59,872
>> Victor: The question to you,
Nate, is how would he react if
251
00:13:59,939 --> 00:14:02,575
he knows that we're gonna
acquire his debt?
252
00:14:02,641 --> 00:14:07,613
The only person who might find
out for us is your COO.
253
00:14:11,250 --> 00:14:13,319
>> Chance: So you're embarking
on this whole new career in
254
00:14:13,385 --> 00:14:15,654
hopes of winning back Heather
and Lucy?
255
00:14:15,721 --> 00:14:20,326
>> Daniel: It's gonna allow me
to become my best self and, you
256
00:14:20,392 --> 00:14:22,294
know, maybe help others change,
too.
257
00:14:22,361 --> 00:14:24,296
>> Chance: By playing video
games, huh?
258
00:14:24,363 --> 00:14:26,632
>> Daniel: Well, I'm designing
them to have a positive message
259
00:14:26,699 --> 00:14:29,935
so players hopefully will be
inspired to take action in their
260
00:14:30,002 --> 00:14:32,771
own lives.
[ Laughs ]
261
00:14:32,838 --> 00:14:34,139
That probably sounds crazy
to you.
262
00:14:34,206 --> 00:14:35,541
>> Chance: No, man, that's
awesome.
263
00:14:35,608 --> 00:14:37,042
That's awesome.
You're doing something that you
264
00:14:37,109 --> 00:14:40,646
feel strongly about.
I bet that must feel amazing.
265
00:14:40,713 --> 00:14:42,114
>> Daniel: What do you mean,
"must feel"?
266
00:14:42,181 --> 00:14:43,949
You've been doing that your
whole life, working for the
267
00:14:44,016 --> 00:14:45,884
greater good.
>> Chance: Yeah.
268
00:14:45,951 --> 00:14:48,520
I don't know.
Guess I haven't really been
269
00:14:48,587 --> 00:14:50,856
feeling the same passion lately.
>> Daniel: Mm.
270
00:14:50,923 --> 00:14:54,093
>> Chance: You know, I got into
law enforcement because I
271
00:14:54,159 --> 00:14:56,729
believe in justice, right?
You know, I wanted to protect
272
00:14:56,795 --> 00:14:58,597
the innocent.
I wanted to make sure the guilty
273
00:14:58,664 --> 00:15:02,301
were punished.
Lately it just feels like I've
274
00:15:02,368 --> 00:15:04,570
been doing the opposite of that.
>> Daniel: Did you have some
275
00:15:04,637 --> 00:15:07,206
cases fall apart or something?
>> Chance: Yeah, something like
276
00:15:07,273 --> 00:15:08,440
that.
>> Daniel: Mm.
277
00:15:08,507 --> 00:15:10,309
>> Chance: I don't know.
Maybe I've just been too
278
00:15:10,376 --> 00:15:13,612
idealistic this whole time.
Maybe I need to play one of your
279
00:15:13,679 --> 00:15:16,148
video games, catch me a little
inspiration to make things
280
00:15:16,215 --> 00:15:18,584
better.
>> Daniel: [ Chuckles ]
281
00:15:20,252 --> 00:15:24,156
>> Nick: I wouldn't be in a rush
to tell Adam anything right now.
282
00:15:24,223 --> 00:15:27,259
Assuming the lab results come
back and I am the father, it'll
283
00:15:27,326 --> 00:15:28,894
make the conversation a lot
easier.
284
00:15:28,961 --> 00:15:32,264
>> Sally: [ Sighs ] I know.
And Chloe convinced me of that,
285
00:15:32,331 --> 00:15:37,102
and I know you agreed.
And at the time, it made sense.
286
00:15:37,169 --> 00:15:40,706
I -- I don't know if it's
hormones, but lately things that
287
00:15:40,773 --> 00:15:44,076
make sense in one moment
definitely do not in the next,
288
00:15:44,143 --> 00:15:46,812
and now I'm just --
I'm second-guessing it.
289
00:15:46,879 --> 00:15:49,548
I'm just imagining Adam's
reaction whenever he finds out,
290
00:15:49,615 --> 00:15:52,951
and then he's gonna know that I
kept it from him.
291
00:15:53,018 --> 00:15:56,622
>> Nick: I think you need
something to distract yourself.
292
00:15:56,689 --> 00:15:58,891
How about work?
Do you think you could focus on
293
00:15:58,957 --> 00:16:00,993
that?
>> Sally: Maybe, if I had any
294
00:16:01,060 --> 00:16:05,731
to focus on.
>> Nick: What if I got in touch
295
00:16:05,798 --> 00:16:09,368
with Jill and convinced her to
let you and Chloe give your
296
00:16:09,435 --> 00:16:12,004
pitch?
>> Sally: [ Chuckles ]
297
00:16:12,071 --> 00:16:16,208
That's a very sweet offer, but I
would not feel right about you
298
00:16:16,275 --> 00:16:19,945
getting involved.
>> Nick: I'm already involved.
299
00:16:20,012 --> 00:16:22,848
>> Sally: You can't fix
everything.
300
00:16:22,915 --> 00:16:29,321
Nor would I expect you to.
Look, you're here for me on
301
00:16:29,388 --> 00:16:32,191
account of the baby, but it is
not your responsibility to get
302
00:16:32,257 --> 00:16:35,494
me a job.
>> Nick: [ Chuckles ]
303
00:16:35,561 --> 00:16:40,999
Actually, I feel partially
responsible for that, um,
304
00:16:41,066 --> 00:16:44,770
considering it was my father who
threw a wrench into the whole
305
00:16:44,837 --> 00:16:45,604
thing.
306
00:16:56,615 --> 00:17:01,387
>> Sally: Victor called Jill
and trashed me?
307
00:17:01,453 --> 00:17:03,422
>> Nick: To sabotage your
meeting.
308
00:17:03,489 --> 00:17:07,926
>> Sally: Unbelievable.
>> Nick: Yeah.
309
00:17:07,993 --> 00:17:11,096
Uh, I didn't say anything before
because of everything that's
310
00:17:11,163 --> 00:17:13,899
going on, but, Sally, you
deserved to know.
311
00:17:13,966 --> 00:17:17,970
>> Sally: Honest to God, I don't
even know what to say...
312
00:17:18,036 --> 00:17:24,042
except [scoffs] what a jackass!
>> Nick: Well, I want to try and
313
00:17:24,109 --> 00:17:26,912
make this right.
I want to reach out to Jill and
314
00:17:26,979 --> 00:17:29,081
see if I can repair the damage
my father has done.
315
00:17:29,148 --> 00:17:31,683
And I think I can do that.
I think I can convince her to
316
00:17:31,750 --> 00:17:35,754
reevaluate her decision and give
you and Chloe a real shot, if
317
00:17:35,821 --> 00:17:37,923
you'll let me.
>> Sally: [ Scoffs ]
318
00:17:37,990 --> 00:17:41,427
I always knew that Victor wasn't
my number-one fan, but I thought
319
00:17:41,493 --> 00:17:44,430
maybe based on my quality of
work at Newman Media that he had
320
00:17:44,496 --> 00:17:47,266
a grudging respect for me.
Why would he go out of his way
321
00:17:47,332 --> 00:17:50,002
to torpedo my new business
opportunity, one that has
322
00:17:50,068 --> 00:17:54,440
absolutely nothing to do with
Newman Media?
323
00:17:54,506 --> 00:17:58,343
Because he thinks I'm no good
for either of his sons and he's
324
00:17:58,410 --> 00:18:00,612
hoping that if I can't make a
living here, then I'll just
325
00:18:00,679 --> 00:18:04,183
slink out of town in search
of a new opportunity?
326
00:18:04,249 --> 00:18:06,885
>> Nick: Pretty much.
>> Sally: You know, that's not
327
00:18:06,952 --> 00:18:09,955
just insulting to me.
It's also a slap in the face to
328
00:18:10,022 --> 00:18:13,826
you and even Adam.
>> Nick: Well, he thinks he
329
00:18:13,892 --> 00:18:16,395
knows what's best for us, and if
we disagree with him, then he
330
00:18:16,462 --> 00:18:19,531
feels like he has to protect us
from our lousy judgment.
331
00:18:19,598 --> 00:18:22,334
>> Sally: Wow.
Suddenly, I am feeling a lot
332
00:18:22,401 --> 00:18:24,036
better about having absentee
parents.
333
00:18:24,102 --> 00:18:26,505
At least they never tried to
interfere in my life.
334
00:18:26,572 --> 00:18:29,775
I mean, how have you dealt with
him for so long?
335
00:18:29,842 --> 00:18:33,111
>> Nick: Trust me, I've lost my
temper with him many, many
336
00:18:33,178 --> 00:18:35,881
times.
But I just have to remind myself
337
00:18:35,948 --> 00:18:38,517
he's my father.
I know he loves me, and these
338
00:18:38,584 --> 00:18:41,019
are just his misguided attempts
at expressing his love.
339
00:18:41,086 --> 00:18:45,123
>> Sally: [ Scoffs ]
I mean, still, for him to go to
340
00:18:45,190 --> 00:18:50,095
such lengths to screw me over.
>> Nick: Look, it's just...
341
00:18:50,162 --> 00:18:52,598
You know, it's who he is.
Try not to take it personally.
342
00:18:52,664 --> 00:18:57,269
>> Sally: Oh, but I do!
I take it very, very personally.
343
00:18:57,336 --> 00:19:00,706
However this paternity test
turns out, I am going to be the
344
00:19:00,772 --> 00:19:03,108
mother of his next grandchild,
so he better understand who the
345
00:19:03,175 --> 00:19:06,078
hell I am and what I'm willing
to fight for.
346
00:19:06,144 --> 00:19:10,482
I don't care who he is, but
Victor is not going to rob me of
347
00:19:10,549 --> 00:19:13,519
my dream.
Do it.
348
00:19:13,585 --> 00:19:15,487
Do it. Call Jill.
349
00:19:17,823 --> 00:19:20,025
>> Daniel: I'm a long ways away
from needing any beta testers
350
00:19:20,092 --> 00:19:22,628
for any of my games.
I mean, it's a huge process.
351
00:19:22,694 --> 00:19:25,831
You got months of development
and encoding and...
352
00:19:25,898 --> 00:19:28,333
>> Chance: Well, I actually know
a little something about that.
353
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:30,869
Yeah, I learned to code when I
was in the military, for
354
00:19:30,936 --> 00:19:33,205
completely different kinds of
projects, of course, but...
355
00:19:33,272 --> 00:19:36,475
>> Daniel: Ah, okay.
Well, I won't bother asking what
356
00:19:36,542 --> 00:19:38,043
they were 'cause I'm sure you
can't tell me.
357
00:19:38,110 --> 00:19:40,212
>> Chance: Ah, yeah, no, that's
all classified stuff.
358

>> Daniel: [ Chuckles ]
>> Chance: I'll tell you,
359
00:19:41,947 --> 00:19:45,083
though, at the time, I looked at
that as just, like, a desk job,
360
00:19:45,150 --> 00:19:47,152
right?
I was eager to get back out in
361
00:19:47,219 --> 00:19:50,355
the field, see the action.
But I don't know.
362
00:19:50,422 --> 00:19:54,026
Right now...
>> Daniel: What?
363
00:19:54,092 --> 00:19:56,295
You telling me the man of action
would be content sitting in an
364
00:19:56,361 --> 00:19:57,896
office?
>> Chance: Probably not.
365
00:19:57,963 --> 00:19:59,998
But I'll tell you what I did
like about coding.
366
00:20:00,065 --> 00:20:01,600
There's a right way to do
everything.
367
00:20:01,667 --> 00:20:03,468
You know what I'm saying?
I mean, you can't do anything
368
00:20:03,535 --> 00:20:05,404
wrong or the program's not gonna
run.
369
00:20:05,470 --> 00:20:08,240
No shades of gray.
There's no ambiguity.
370
00:20:08,307 --> 00:20:12,444
There's no pretending a problem
isn't a big deal because one
371
00:20:12,511 --> 00:20:15,881
little bug, and that whole
system's gonna crash.
372
00:20:15,948 --> 00:20:19,718

refreshing.

It's the highlight of your day.
>> Audra: Once upon a time, that
376
00:20:31,530 --> 00:20:35,867
could have been true.
Or at least I could fake it.
377

you, but I have a meeting to get
to.

00:21:37,329 --> 00:21:40,065
Thank you for letting me sit in.
It's been enlightening.

>> Victoria: Um, before you go,
389
00:21:44,703 --> 00:21:48,940
I actually have one quick
question.
390
00:21:49,007 --> 00:21:52,044
[ Door closes ]

staying and for not being afraid

to share your thoughts.
>> Nate: Mm, it's refreshing to

00:22:04,289 --> 00:22:06,725
be somewhere where I'm not shut
down right away.

you're gonna have that issue

laying the groundwork with Audra
and report back to you.

really interesting way of

00:22:38,957 --> 00:22:41,860
looking at coding.
You know, I always came at it
403
00:22:41,927 --> 00:22:46,298
like an artist, so all the
rules, they -- they get on my
404
00:22:46,364 --> 00:22:47,933
nerves.
They make it really difficult to
405
00:22:47,999 --> 00:22:50,168
be creative for me.
>> Chance: Yeah, well, so much
406
00:22:50,235 --> 00:22:51,837
for us having something in
common, man.
407
00:22:51,903 --> 00:22:54,506
I think our brains work in
completely different ways.

I wish I was more logical and

Maybe then I wouldn't have had
410

00:23:44,189 --> 00:23:46,258
only will you be working with

me it was you on the line,
429
00:23:52,197 --> 00:23:54,833
I was pleasantly surprised.
>> Nick: Well, thank you for
430
00:23:54,900 --> 00:23:58,136
taking the time.
>> Jill: For you? Absolutely.
431
00:23:58,203 --> 00:24:00,739
>> Nick: I'm calling you on
behalf of Sally Spectra,
432
00:24:00,806 --> 00:24:03,041
Jill.
I know she got a raw deal from
433
00:24:03,108 --> 00:24:06,044
my dad, and I'm hoping I can
convince you to ignore whatever
434
00:24:06,111 --> 00:24:10,248
it is he said to you that made
you decide not to do business
435
00:24:10,315 --> 00:24:13,251
with her.
>> Jill: Go on.
436
00:24:13,318 --> 00:24:16,254
>> Nick: I know Dad put a bug in
your ear about some bad business
437
00:24:16,321 --> 00:24:18,657
dealings during Sally's time
in L.A.
438
00:24:18,723 --> 00:24:21,459
But as COO of
Newman Enterprises, I worked
439
00:24:21,526 --> 00:24:24,162
very closely with Sally while
she was running Newman Media.
440
00:24:24,229 --> 00:24:26,198
On top of that --
>> Jill: Wait. Wait.
441
00:24:26,264 --> 00:24:29,434
Your father just didn't put a
bug in my ear.
442
00:24:29,501 --> 00:24:34,873
He sent me a dossier three
inches thick detailing who
443
00:24:34,940 --> 00:24:38,143
Sally is.
Now, a lot of it was no surprise
444
00:24:38,210 --> 00:24:41,213
to me.
I knew her by her reputation.
445
00:24:41,279 --> 00:24:46,251
But I didn't realize what chaos
she had created in the past --
446
00:24:46,318 --> 00:24:49,120
and especially for your own
daughter, Summer.
447
00:24:49,187 --> 00:24:52,958
So, frankly, Nick, I'm a little
surprised that you would defend
448
00:24:53,024 --> 00:24:54,459
the woman.
>> Nick: Yeah.
449
00:24:54,526 --> 00:24:57,329
Dad tried to pull the same move
with me.
450
00:24:57,395 --> 00:25:00,465
Full disclosure, Jill -- Sally
and I are involved in a
451
00:25:00,532 --> 00:25:03,168
relationship.
It's a relationship that my
452
00:25:03,235 --> 00:25:05,737
father does not support.
>> Jill: I see.
453
00:25:05,804 --> 00:25:08,340
>> Nick: And just so you know,
Dad didn't give you that dossier
454
00:25:08,406 --> 00:25:10,909
so he could protect you and
Chancellor-Winters.
455
00:25:10,976 --> 00:25:14,479
He did that to punish Sally.
It was vindictive and out of
456
00:25:14,546 --> 00:25:15,814
line.
And that's not who Sally is
457
00:25:15,881 --> 00:25:18,316
anymore.
She's worked very hard to make a
458
00:25:18,383 --> 00:25:20,485
name and a life for herself that
she can be proud of.
459
00:25:20,552 --> 00:25:23,889
>> Jill: Alright, I admit I was
dismayed by what I read.
460
00:25:23,955 --> 00:25:27,392
But what I really hate is that
Victor has played me for his own
461
00:25:27,459 --> 00:25:30,662
petty reasons.
And I respect your opinion,
462
00:25:30,729 --> 00:25:34,165
Nick.
Will you be honest with me?
463
00:25:34,232 --> 00:25:36,468
>> Nick: Of course.
>> Jill: Are you just helping
464
00:25:36,534 --> 00:25:39,838
out a girlfriend, or are you
willing to stand behind
465
00:25:39,905 --> 00:25:45,143
Ms. Spectra's business acumen as
someone I could invest in?
466
00:25:45,210 --> 00:25:48,713
>> Nick: I wholeheartedly stand
behind Sally, so much so that I
467
00:25:48,780 --> 00:25:51,116
tried to invest in her new
business venture myself,
468
00:25:51,182 --> 00:25:53,752
but she wasn't having it.
I couldn't talk her into it, and
469
00:25:53,818 --> 00:25:56,655
I can't push her anymore.
I can give you a long list of
470
00:25:56,721 --> 00:25:59,257
Newman employees who will attest
to Sally's ability and her
471
00:25:59,324 --> 00:26:02,227
qualities as a leader.
She's very passionate about her
472
00:26:02,294 --> 00:26:05,964
design, she's incredibly
talented, and I know she will
473
00:26:06,031 --> 00:26:08,600
work tirelessly for you until
you're satisfied.
474
00:26:08,667 --> 00:26:11,169
I think you'd be very, very
lucky to have her.
475
00:26:11,236 --> 00:26:14,940
All I'm asking you, Jill, is
just give her and Chloe a shot.
476
00:26:15,006 --> 00:26:17,842
Hear them out and then make a
decision for yourself.
477
00:26:27,886 --> 00:26:30,455
>> Chloe: How the hell did you
convince Jill to give us a
478
00:26:30,522 --> 00:26:33,058
second chance?
>> Sally: [ Exhales heavily ]
479
00:26:33,124 --> 00:26:36,594
Nick saved the day, which I will
explain to you later.
480
00:26:36,661 --> 00:26:38,363
But Jill wants to hear our pitch
now.
481
00:26:38,430 --> 00:26:42,133
>> Chloe: Whoa. Uh, okay.
>> Nick: Do you need to get set
482
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:44,135
up?
I can get Jill on the video chat
483
00:26:44,202 --> 00:26:46,671
right now.
>> Sally: I'm ready if you are.
484
00:26:46,738 --> 00:26:52,477
>> Chloe: Yeah. Let's do this.
[ Key clacks ]
485
00:26:52,544 --> 00:26:55,981
>> Nick: Jill. Hi.
I have Chloe and Sally with me.
486
00:26:56,047 --> 00:26:58,883
>> Jill: Well, we're all busy
people, so you have my
487
00:26:58,950 --> 00:27:03,989
attention.
>> Sally: We know that
488
00:27:04,055 --> 00:27:07,258
Chancellor-Winters is looking to
acquire more hotels, and our
489
00:27:07,325 --> 00:27:09,160
design sensibility is the
perfect fit.
490
00:27:09,227 --> 00:27:12,564
>> Chloe: Yeah, and we can
ensure all of your properties
491
00:27:12,630 --> 00:27:15,633
have their own signature look,
while giving them their own
492
00:27:15,700 --> 00:27:17,902
unique style.
>> Sally: Yes, my résumé is
493
00:27:17,969 --> 00:27:20,538
eclectic.
That is an advantage.
494
00:27:20,605 --> 00:27:23,341
I can draw on everything I've
learned from my time in the
495
00:27:23,408 --> 00:27:26,611
fashion and the media industries
and apply it to interior design.
496
00:27:26,678 --> 00:27:30,048
I believe that furnishings are
every bit as chic as any look
497
00:27:30,115 --> 00:27:32,684
that walks down the runway.
We need to focus on the user
498
00:27:32,751 --> 00:27:35,453
experience.
So, design needs to be more than
499
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:38,623
just aesthetically pleasing.
It also needs to be functional.
500
00:27:38,690 --> 00:27:42,961
And that's pretty much it.
We will e-mail you our written
501
00:27:43,028 --> 00:27:48,967
proposal by the end of the day.
>> Jill: Ladies, I'm impressed.
502
00:27:49,034 --> 00:27:53,471
And I promise you I will give
your proposal very serious
503
00:27:53,538 --> 00:27:56,274
consideration.
Now, the company's in flux right
504
00:27:56,341 --> 00:28:00,845
now, so it may be a while before
I can make my decision, but...
505
00:28:00,912 --> 00:28:06,151
I like what I've heard.
Oh, and I applaud you, Sally,
506
00:28:06,217 --> 00:28:11,956
for turning around what is
clearly a train wreck of a
507
00:28:12,023 --> 00:28:14,025
life.
>> Sally: [ Chuckles ]
508
00:28:14,092 --> 00:28:17,896
I take that as a compliment.
>> Jill: Yeah, it was meant as
509
00:28:17,962 --> 00:28:20,932
one.
And, Chloe, you give Kevin and
510
00:28:20,999 --> 00:28:24,269
those babies my best, okay?
>> Chloe: I will.
511
00:28:24,335 --> 00:28:26,938
>> Sally: Thank you, Jill.
>> Jill: Bye, now.
512
00:28:27,005 --> 00:28:29,908
>> Sally: Bye.
>> Chloe: Bye.
513
00:28:29,974 --> 00:28:31,643
>> Sally: Ah! We did it!
>> Chloe: Ah, don't be so
514
00:28:31,709 --> 00:28:33,111
modest.
We killed it.
515
00:28:33,178 --> 00:28:36,247
>> Nick: That was amazing.
You guys seriously knocked it
516
00:28:36,314 --> 00:28:40,185
out of the park.
>> Sally: Ah. We really did.
517
00:28:40,251 --> 00:28:43,455
>> Chloe: Thank you, Nick, for,
you know, making all this
518
00:28:43,521 --> 00:28:45,957
happen.
>> Nick: I'm just glad it worked
519
00:28:46,024 --> 00:28:48,960
out.
>> Chloe: And I need to get to
520
00:28:49,027 --> 00:28:51,262
Kevin.
How great is it gonna be to be
521
00:28:51,329 --> 00:28:54,165
able to tell him that we might
be going back to being a
522
00:28:54,232 --> 00:28:58,670
two-income family?
Mm!
523
00:29:00,572 --> 00:29:04,042
>> Daniel: I know Jill co-owns
Chancellor-Winters, but she's
524
00:29:04,109 --> 00:29:05,944
basically retired, right?
>> Chance: Well, just from,
525
00:29:06,010 --> 00:29:09,013
like, the day-to-day stuff.
But believe me, she finds ways
526
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:11,049
to make her presence known.
You should see these text
527
00:29:11,116 --> 00:29:13,585
messages I get.
>> Daniel: Hmm.
528
00:29:13,651 --> 00:29:16,287
Well, I'd gladly meet with her
every day if it guaranteed me a
529
00:29:16,354 --> 00:29:17,789
firm green light.
>> Chance: Yeah.
530
00:29:17,856 --> 00:29:19,991
Well, I hate to be a
Debbie Downer, but if it doesn't
531
00:29:20,058 --> 00:29:21,826
work out with
Chancellor-Winters, what are
532
00:29:21,893 --> 00:29:24,129
you gonna do?
>> Daniel: There are some other
533
00:29:24,195 --> 00:29:26,364
backers here in town who have
expressed interest.
534
00:29:26,431 --> 00:29:28,399
>> Chance: That's great.
>> Daniel: But I really hope
535
00:29:28,466 --> 00:29:31,102
it works out with
Chancellor-Winters because I
536
00:29:31,169 --> 00:29:33,771
know with Lily I can trust her
to do right by me and my
537
00:29:33,838 --> 00:29:37,342
project.
Everybody else just seems like
538
00:29:37,408 --> 00:29:39,444
they'd be using me to further
their own agendas.
539
00:29:41,913 --> 00:29:45,617
>> Audra: [ Sighs ]
What an annoying morning.
540
00:29:45,683 --> 00:29:49,487
>> Nate: Won't ask.
Listen, I'm glad you're here.
541
00:29:49,554 --> 00:29:52,824
>> Audra: Oh. What's up?
>> Nate: I was pulled into an
542
00:29:52,891 --> 00:29:57,462
interesting meeting with Victor,
Victoria, and Michael Baldwin.
543
00:29:57,529 --> 00:30:00,899
And your name came up.
>> Audra: In what context?
544
00:30:00,965 --> 00:30:05,737
>> Nate: First I need to know
what, if any, allegiance you
545
00:30:05,803 --> 00:30:10,074
still have to Tucker.
>> Audra: None whatsoever.
546
00:30:10,141 --> 00:30:14,179
He tried to work me yet again
today, probing to see, you know,
547
00:30:14,245 --> 00:30:17,081
how far we've gotten going after
Omega Sphere.
548
00:30:17,148 --> 00:30:19,817
>> Nate: And why would he think
you'd share that, given that
549
00:30:19,884 --> 00:30:21,986
you're now the competition?
>> Audra: That's how much of an
550
00:30:22,053 --> 00:30:25,089
egomaniac he is.
You know, Tucker thinks that
551
00:30:25,156 --> 00:30:30,028
I'll always be loyal to him,
even when he's shut me out and
552
00:30:30,094 --> 00:30:33,298
disrespected me.
But I'm used to it.
553
00:30:33,364 --> 00:30:36,668
So I dangled some bait, asking
him for information on the
554
00:30:36,734 --> 00:30:39,404
rumors about his debt.
>> Nate: Was he willing to
555
00:30:39,470 --> 00:30:42,240
confirm those rumors?
>> Audra: Of course not.
556
00:30:42,307 --> 00:30:47,512
No, he was evasive at first.
Then he acted like the chatter
557
00:30:47,579 --> 00:30:51,182
he's over-leveraged was just a
plot to undermine him, although
558
00:30:51,249 --> 00:30:53,451
he didn't seem terribly
concerned.
559
00:30:53,518 --> 00:30:56,888
So I gave him zip about our
intentions where Daniel's
560
00:30:56,955 --> 00:31:00,124
project is concerned.
>> Nate: How'd he react to that?
561
00:31:00,191 --> 00:31:04,362
>> Audra: He didn't.
No, then he got a text and got
562
00:31:04,429 --> 00:31:07,665
all huffy.
Trust me when I say
563
00:31:07,732 --> 00:31:11,603
Tucker McCall is not a man on
top of the world.
564
00:31:11,669 --> 00:31:13,871
>> Nate: How did you leave
things?
565
00:31:13,938 --> 00:31:16,574
>> Audra: Oh, not to worry.
Look, I made it clear I want
566
00:31:16,641 --> 00:31:20,245
nothing to do with him.
>> Nate: Well, I'm gonna need
567
00:31:20,311 --> 00:31:23,915
you to rethink that.
Your connection could be just
568
00:31:23,982 --> 00:31:25,350
the advantage we need.
569
00:31:32,290 --> 00:31:33,391
>> Chance: Well, I got to get
going, man.
570
00:31:33,458 --> 00:31:34,425
I got to get back to the
station.
571
00:31:34,492 --> 00:31:36,461
>> Daniel: Alright.
I hope that today is one of
572
00:31:36,527 --> 00:31:39,797
those days when justice will
truly be served.
573
00:31:39,864 --> 00:31:41,933
>> Chance: Me too, brother, me
too.
574
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,669
And, hey, I hope it works out
with Chancellor-Winters and with
575
00:31:44,736 --> 00:31:46,004
Heather and Lucy.
Good luck with that.
576
00:31:46,070 --> 00:31:49,474
>> Daniel: Thank you.
It's been nice talking to
577
00:31:49,540 --> 00:31:51,342
someone else who's rebuilding
his life.
578
00:31:51,409 --> 00:31:54,312
>> Chance: Yeah, man.
It's like a little mini support
579
00:31:54,379 --> 00:31:56,114
group.
>> Daniel: Mm. It is.
580
00:31:56,180 --> 00:31:59,183
We should do it again.
>> Chance: Absolutely.
581
00:31:59,250 --> 00:32:00,652
Alright, well, I'll see you
around.
582
00:32:00,718 --> 00:32:02,754
>> Daniel: Yeah. Take it easy.
583
00:32:08,159 --> 00:32:13,131
>> Sally: Thank you again for
supporting me with Jill and for
584
00:32:13,197 --> 00:32:17,802
being levelheaded when I was a
mess and for taking my mind off
585
00:32:17,869 --> 00:32:20,104
the things that I do not want to
think about right now.
586
00:32:20,171 --> 00:32:22,840
>> Nick: That's a lot of
thank-yous.
587
00:32:22,907 --> 00:32:25,143
>> Sally: Are you kidding?
I'm just getting started.
588
00:32:25,209 --> 00:32:28,212
>> Nick: No, no.
It's my turn now.
589
00:32:28,279 --> 00:32:30,915
>> Sally: Alright.
The floor is yours.
590
00:32:35,987 --> 00:32:40,124
>> Nick: You dazzled me today.
When I think about everything
591
00:32:40,191 --> 00:32:45,096
you've overcome, including
self-doubt when we came back
592
00:32:45,163 --> 00:32:49,434
from...the Place That Shall
Remain Nameless.
593
00:32:49,500 --> 00:32:52,036
>> Sally: [ Chuckles ]
>> Nick: You went from spinning
594
00:32:52,103 --> 00:32:53,671
out to impressing the hell out
of Jill.
595
00:32:53,738 --> 00:32:56,207
That is no small feat,
especially when you consider
596
00:32:56,274 --> 00:32:58,609
you did it just spur of the
moment like that.
597
00:32:58,676 --> 00:33:01,346
>> Sally: Well, Chloe and I have
worked so hard on that pitch, we
598
00:33:01,412 --> 00:33:04,115
could give it in our sleep.
>> Nick: [ Sighs ]
599
00:33:04,182 --> 00:33:07,485
It was awesome to watch.
You shook off what my dad did to
600
00:33:07,552 --> 00:33:12,824
you and just...
You are amazing.
601
00:33:12,890 --> 00:33:16,728
I don't know what Jill's gonna
say or do.
602
00:33:16,794 --> 00:33:23,034
But I was proud of you.
Seriously. You were radiant.
603
00:33:23,101 --> 00:33:25,470
Hot.
>> Sally: [ Chuckles ]
604
00:33:25,536 --> 00:33:28,005
>> Nick: It was pretty great to
watch.
605
00:33:28,072 --> 00:33:32,643
>> Sally: Just pretty great?
Not, like, sensational or
606
00:33:32,710 --> 00:33:36,114
stupendous?
Brilliant?
607
00:33:36,180 --> 00:33:41,853
Mind-blowing?
>> Nick: Yeah. Those, too.
608
00:33:56,534 --> 00:33:58,669
>> Audra: You want me to keep a
back channel?
609
00:33:58,736 --> 00:34:01,205
I thought you were adamant that
I severe all ties with Tucker as
610
00:34:01,272 --> 00:34:03,908
a matter of trust.
>> Nate: I do need to be sure
611
00:34:03,975 --> 00:34:05,610
you're aligned with Newman and
not Tucker.
612
00:34:05,676 --> 00:34:08,279
That hasn't changed.
But I hope you haven't burned
613
00:34:08,346 --> 00:34:12,016
your bridges with him just yet.
>> Audra: I'm getting the
614
00:34:12,083 --> 00:34:15,486
feeling this is about more than
Omega Sphere.
615
00:34:15,553 --> 00:34:18,689
>> Nate: Certain moves are about
to be made.
616
00:34:18,756 --> 00:34:25,763
>> Audra: Against Tucker?
>> Nate: Newman intends to
617
00:34:25,830 --> 00:34:31,169
acquire his debt, which appears
to be substantial.
618
00:34:31,235 --> 00:34:35,139
And there's interest from the
C-suite in your ability to gauge
619
00:34:35,206 --> 00:34:38,776
his awareness of what's afoot,
get a read on what his response
620
00:34:38,843 --> 00:34:42,547
might be.
>> Audra: That sounds fun.
621
00:34:42,613 --> 00:34:44,615
>> Nate: Only now you've got me
worried.
622
00:34:44,682 --> 00:34:47,385
From what you just said, it
sounds like Tucker might not be
623
00:34:47,452 --> 00:34:51,622
confiding in you anymore.
>> Audra: Oh. I can fix that.
624
00:34:51,689 --> 00:34:53,858
He never stays mad at me for
long.
625
00:34:55,359 --> 00:34:57,128
>> Michael: I want it on the
record that I am on the fence
626
00:34:57,195 --> 00:35:01,132
about bringing Audra Charles in.
>> Victor: I understand.
627
00:35:01,199 --> 00:35:06,003
But I have the feeling that Nate
has what it takes to navigate
628
00:35:06,070 --> 00:35:07,905
the situation.
>> Victoria: Yes.
629
00:35:07,972 --> 00:35:11,542
He will proceed with caution.
I have no doubt.
630
00:35:11,609 --> 00:35:15,079
>> Michael: Alrighty, then.
>> Victor: Well, Mr. Baldwin,
631
00:35:15,146 --> 00:35:17,548
set the wheels in motion?
>> Michael: As soon as you give
632
00:35:17,615 --> 00:35:19,050
me the word.
>> Victoria: Once we own
633
00:35:19,116 --> 00:35:23,488
Tucker's debt, then we tighten
the screws.
634
00:35:23,554 --> 00:35:29,126
>> Victor: Yeah.
Let the fireworks begin.
635
00:35:29,193 --> 00:35:31,295
>> Victoria: You know, I don't
know what I'm looking forward to
636
00:35:31,362 --> 00:35:34,799
more -- owning Tucker's company
or the look on his face when he
637
00:35:34,866 --> 00:35:38,102
realizes that he's been bested.
>> Michael: [ Chuckles ]
638
