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?

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.
