She wouldn't enjoy us talking 6 00:00:13,113 --> 00:00:15,915 business at the table, though. >> Victor: Well, that's true. 7 00:00:15,982 --> 00:00:18,752 However, if she had known we were talking about 8 00:00:18,818 --> 00:00:21,921 taking over Tucker McCall's company, I think she would 9 00:00:21,988 --> 00:00:25,091 have enjoyed it indeed. >> Victoria: Well, everything 10 00:00:25,158 --> 00:00:27,193 seems to be coming together. We have the financing placed 11 00:00:27,260 --> 00:00:29,796 to buy up his debt. But I think we need to move 12 00:00:29,863 --> 00:00:32,499 quickly before the competitors get the same idea. 13 00:00:32,565 --> 00:00:37,170 >> Victor: Oh, especially now that the rumor's floating 14 00:00:37,237 --> 00:00:41,975 around about Tucker McCall's dire financial straits. 15 00:00:42,041 --> 00:00:45,078 >> Victoria: I'm worried.

How do we gain total control 21 00:01:02,896 --> 00:01:06,633 and take over his debt? >> Victor: Well, I think we 22 00:01:06,699 --> 00:01:10,170 should tell him it's inevitable and that he should join us 23 00:01:10,236 --> 00:01:12,472 rather than spend his time fighting us 24 00:01:12,539 --> 00:01:15,341 every step of the way. >> Victoria: We need to force 25 00:01:15,408 --> 00:01:18,511 him to sell us an ownership stake at a cut rate. 26 00:01:18,578 --> 00:01:21,381 I think that would be best for everyone. 27 00:01:21,448 --> 00:01:24,250 >> Victor: Besides, it would piss him off to the core. 28 00:01:28,855 --> 00:01:38,998 >> Audra: Where are you? >> Tucker: Waiting for someone? 29 00:01:39,065 --> 00:01:42,702 >> Audra: I am, but I don't think Brad Pitt's going to make 30 00:01:42,769 --> 00:01:46,139 it. So you'll have to do. 31 00:01:46,206 --> 00:01:49,042 >> Tucker: Well, look at us. Here we are out in public. 32 00:01:49,108 --> 00:01:52,111 Does it feel strange seeing me this way after months 33 00:01:52,178 --> 00:01:55,515 of pretending I don't exist? >> Audra: Doesn't feel stranger 34 00:01:55,582 --> 00:02:00,053 than most of our interactions. >> Tucker: She's feeling saucy 35 00:02:00,119 --> 00:02:02,255 tonight. >> Audra: You know, this 36 00:02:02,322 --> 00:02:07,260 actually feels nice.

I am utterly incapable 43 00:02:29,315 --> 00:02:33,052 of being boring. >> Tucker: You are. You are. 44 00:02:33,119 --> 00:02:38,858 Although I just can't help but be a bit suspicious. 45 00:02:38,925 --> 00:02:40,593 >> Audra: Of? >> Tucker: Your motives. 46 00:02:40,660 --> 00:02:45,365 I mean, why do you want to reconnect as friends? 47 00:02:45,431 --> 00:02:47,967 >> Audra: Do I need a motive? >> Tucker: Yes, you do. 48 00:02:48,034 --> 00:02:50,136 Yes, you do. Why don't we hypothesize 49 00:02:50,203 --> 00:02:53,573 for a second? You expressed interest 50 00:02:53,640 --> 00:02:56,509 earlier in the rumor of my enormous debt. 51 00:02:56,576 --> 00:02:57,911 But you're working for Newman Media. 52 00:02:57,977 --> 00:03:00,713 That information couldn't possibly be of any use to them. 53 00:03:00,780 --> 00:03:04,984 Why would Nate care about how much money I owe and to whom? 54 00:03:05,051 --> 00:03:09,055 But Newman Enterprises, Victor and Victoria, 55 00:03:09,122 --> 00:03:13,192 they would care. So I'm just wondering if maybe 56 00:03:13,259 --> 00:03:16,362 this reunion is really about gathering information for them. 57 00:03:20,567 --> 00:03:35,448 ♪♪ ♪♪ 58 00:03:35,515 --> 00:03:35,882 ♪♪ ♪♪ 59 00:03:35,949 --> 00:03:50,830 ♪♪ ♪♪ 60 00:03:50,897 --> 00:03:51,297 ♪♪ ♪♪ 61 00:03:59,973 --> 00:04:06,045 >> Kyle: There you are. >> Summer: Here I am. 62 00:04:06,112 --> 00:04:08,348 >> Kyle: You blew out the office so abruptly, we didn't get 63 00:04:08,414 --> 00:04:12,352 a chance to talk about it. >> Summer: Did it occur to you 64 00:04:12,418 --> 00:04:13,653 that I didn't want to speak with you? 65 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:15,888 >> Kyle: We need to work this out. 66 00:04:15,955 --> 00:04:20,393 >> Summer: You mean the way you purposely deceived me for weeks? 67 00:04:20,460 --> 00:04:22,328 Did I get that right?

The best way to get a read 548 00:33:04,849 --> 00:33:09,520 on Tucker is to force his hand and watch closely. 549 00:33:09,587 --> 00:33:12,724 Now that he knows for a fact that Newman wants to buy up his 550 00:33:12,790 --> 00:33:15,426 debt, he'll -- he'll have to take action. 551 00:33:15,493 --> 00:33:20,598 >> Nate: Like what? >> Audra: I don't know yet. 552 00:33:20,665 --> 00:33:22,700 But as long as he thinks that I'm playing both sides 553 00:33:22,767 --> 00:33:26,504 against each other, he'll keep me in the loop, 554 00:33:26,571 --> 00:33:31,409 provided that I have something to offer him. 555 00:33:31,476 --> 00:33:37,248 This will work. He'll be forced into a corner, 556 00:33:37,315 --> 00:33:40,985 and we'll be there to pick up the pieces. 557 00:33:41,052 --> 00:33:49,193 The Newmans will win. >> Victoria: I can't believe 558 00:33:49,260 --> 00:33:52,530 I didn't see this. Of course. 559 00:33:52,597 --> 00:33:55,933 Of course you want Tucker's company for Adam. 560 00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:58,770 Oh, I should have put it together when you said that you 561 00:33:58,836 --> 00:34:01,506 would never give up on him, which I still maintain 562 00:34:01,572 --> 00:34:05,109 you're going to come to regret. >> Victor: Sweetheart, I do not 563 00:34:05,176 --> 00:34:08,513 share your concern. >> Victoria: I know that, Daddy. 564 00:34:08,579 --> 00:34:11,315 So why don't we just get back to business? 565 00:34:11,382 --> 00:34:15,420 Are you going to have Adam run Tucker's company 566 00:34:15,486 --> 00:34:17,455 as a private entity, or is it going to be 567 00:34:17,522 --> 00:34:20,391 under the Newman umbrella? >> Victor: You mean the question 568 00:34:20,458 --> 00:34:22,894 is, will Adam report to you? >> Victoria: Well, he's going to 569 00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:24,328 ask you the same thing. >> Victor: Well, we can deal 570 00:34:24,395 --> 00:34:29,967 with the hierarchy issue later. But I assure you, if Adam comes 571 00:34:30,034 --> 00:34:32,837 back into our fold, he will not impact 572 00:34:32,904 --> 00:34:37,608 you negatively at all. >> Victoria: That's so funny. 573 00:34:37,675 --> 00:34:40,711 I thought that the plan was to expand the company 574 00:34:40,778 --> 00:34:43,681 and conquer new markets. But to me, this just sounds 575 00:34:43,748 --> 00:34:46,217 like a plan to make Adam feel good about himself. 576 00:34:46,284 --> 00:34:47,752 >> Victor: Sweetheart, be objective now. 577 00:34:47,819 --> 00:34:49,053 The numbers speak for themselves. 578 00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:52,390 We will make a lot of profit. Come on. 579 00:34:52,457 --> 00:34:55,293 And you know, if Adam runs that company, 580 00:34:55,359 --> 00:34:57,895 that means he's back in the family. 581 00:34:57,962 --> 00:35:00,598 And to reunite my family means everything to me. 582 00:35:00,665 --> 00:35:02,500 >> Victoria: I know. I know, Daddy. 583 00:35:02,567 --> 00:35:05,036 I know you think this is the perfect solution with -- 584 00:35:05,102 --> 00:35:07,939 with potential all around. But I disagree. 585 00:35:08,005 --> 00:35:09,774 You are the one who told us to never 586 00:35:09,841 --> 00:35:12,076 underestimate Tucker McCall. Well, the same thing can be said 587 00:35:12,143 --> 00:35:15,713 for Adam. Well, I guess we'll just have to 588 00:35:15,780 --> 00:35:17,815 be on our guard now, because we won't be dealing with 589 00:35:17,882 --> 00:35:20,518 one unpredictable wild card. We'll be dealing 590 00:35:20,585 --> 00:35:26,357 with two of them. >> Victor: I'll deal with them. 591 00:35:26,424 --> 00:35:33,531 Don't you worry. Okay? >> Tucker: Yeah, 592 00:35:33,598 --> 00:35:35,500 I need something investigated. Someone's been looking 593 00:35:35,566 --> 00:35:38,436 into my debt, and I need to know what they learned. 594 00:35:38,503 --> 00:35:40,905 Because if I sit around waiting for my lender to tell me things 595 00:35:40,972 --> 00:35:44,008 have changed, it'll be too late. So I need that information 596 00:35:44,075 --> 00:35:47,778 right away. [ Knock on door ] 597 00:35:47,845 --> 00:35:49,280 Get back to me when you got it, okay? 598 00:35:49,347 --> 00:35:51,349 Bye. 599 00:36:05,830 --> 00:36:11,135 ♪♪ 600 00:36:11,202 --> 00:36:14,138 -- Captions by VITAC -- www.vitac.com 601 00:36:14,205 --> 00:36:17,141 Captioning provided by Bell Dramatic Serial Company, 602 00:36:17,208 --> 00:36:20,211 Sony Pictures Television and CBS, Inc.
