bring us right back to square
one.
11

Instead, she said that she will
think about it, which means that

When you're waiting on pins and

explained the significance of it

I'm just glad that she felt like
she could open up to me.

And then she gave me a chance to
respond.

You know, I told her that I am
fully committed to being a

respond?

00:16:36,061 --> 00:16:37,529
herself to make that call?
345
00:16:37,596 --> 00:16:41,066
>> Nate: I reacted negatively,
too, initially, but Audra knows
346
00:16:41,133 --> 00:16:43,736
Tucker probably better than
anyone in this room, and she was
347
00:16:43,802 --> 00:16:45,571
certain it was the right move to
make.
348
00:16:45,637 --> 00:16:46,772
>> Victoria: That's interesting.
349
00:16:46,839 --> 00:16:50,008
Dad suggested the same thing
himself.
350
00:16:50,075 --> 00:16:52,811
His inclination was to tell
Tucker directly and watch how
351
00:16:52,878 --> 00:16:54,079
he'd react.
352
00:16:54,146 --> 00:16:57,116
>> Nate: Audra said the man was
completely rattled, even though
353
00:16:57,182 --> 00:16:59,017
he tried to hide it.
354
00:16:59,084 --> 00:17:02,755
It sounds to me like Tucker saw
the futility of a fight and he
355
00:17:02,821 --> 00:17:04,022
folded.
356
00:17:04,089 --> 00:17:07,526
He's making this move before we
can force him to sell for less.
357
00:17:07,593 --> 00:17:09,528
>> Nick: What do you think,
Vick?
358
00:17:09,595 --> 00:17:11,263
How do you want to proceed?
359
00:17:11,330 --> 00:17:13,332
>> Victoria: First of all, I
need to tell our father, of
360
00:17:13,399 --> 00:17:14,566
course.
361
00:17:14,633 --> 00:17:17,803
But I think that we should stick
to our original plan, despite
362
00:17:17,870 --> 00:17:19,838
this new development.
363
00:17:19,905 --> 00:17:23,242
And secondly, if Tucker's game
is to make this as painless as
364
00:17:23,308 --> 00:17:27,379
possible for himself, we don't
have to oblige, do we?
365
00:17:27,446 --> 00:17:29,248
>> Nate: Makes sense to me.
366
00:17:29,314 --> 00:17:31,350
>> Victoria: So we move forward.
367
00:17:31,417 --> 00:17:33,685
We assume all of his debt, and
then we have the upper hand in
368
00:17:33,752 --> 00:17:35,454
all of the negotiations.
369
00:17:35,521 --> 00:17:37,990
>> Nick: I'm just not sure about
that.
370
00:17:38,056 --> 00:17:40,559
If we buy up all his debt, we're
basically throwing Tucker's
371
00:17:40,626 --> 00:17:42,294
offer right back into his face.
372
00:17:42,361 --> 00:17:45,264
Tucker may decide to dig his
heels in and adopt a
373
00:17:45,330 --> 00:17:46,732
scorched-earth policy.
374
00:17:46,799 --> 00:17:49,301
And there's just no telling how
much damage a furious Tucker
375
00:17:49,368 --> 00:17:50,969
will do on his way out the door.
376
00:17:51,036 --> 00:17:53,205
>> Victoria: Yes, that's a very
good point, and I'm gonna
377
00:17:53,272 --> 00:17:55,407
definitely keep that in mind.
378
00:17:55,474 --> 00:17:58,310
But my instinct is telling me
that this is the right thing to
379
00:17:58,377 --> 00:18:02,881
do, and I have no doubt that dad
would agree with me.
380
00:18:02,948 --> 00:18:04,650
>> Victor: I mean, I don't know
how often I have to tell you
381
00:18:04,716 --> 00:18:12,758
that, but my desire to make you
feel valued is genuine.
382
00:18:12,825 --> 00:18:17,095
But removing your sister, my
daughter, from her position as
383
00:18:17,162 --> 00:18:19,131
CEO of Newman -- that's out of
the question.
384
00:18:19,198 --> 00:18:20,199
I can't do that.
385
00:18:20,265 --> 00:18:24,269
>> Adam: Well, then, there it
is.
386
00:18:24,336 --> 00:18:25,304
Nice talking to you.
387
00:18:25,370 --> 00:18:26,138
It looks like we're done here.
388
00:18:26,205 --> 00:18:27,172
>> Victor: Son, we are not done
here.

Sit down.
390
00:18:31,443 --> 00:18:33,312
Enough with the gamesmanship,
alright?
391
00:18:33,378 --> 00:18:35,914
>> Adam: Oh, I assure you, there
are no games being played here,
392
00:18:35,981 --> 00:18:36,982
okay?
393
00:18:37,049 --> 00:18:39,918
I'm never gonna be satisfied
being Victoria's lackey.
394
00:18:39,985 --> 00:18:42,221
>> Victor: Give me more credit
than that.
395
00:18:42,287 --> 00:18:43,889
I would never put you in that
position.
396
00:18:43,956 --> 00:18:45,591
You would never be her lackey.
397
00:18:45,657 --> 00:18:46,859
>> Adam: Right.
398
00:18:46,925 --> 00:18:48,961
She would just treat me that way
regardless of whatever title you
399
00:18:49,027 --> 00:18:50,095
bestowed on me at Newman.
400
00:18:50,162 --> 00:18:52,030
>> Victor: Give me more time.
401
00:18:52,097 --> 00:18:56,869
Pretty soon you'll be offered an
opportunity to run a company as
402
00:18:56,935 --> 00:19:00,506
vast and important as
Newman Enterprises.
403
00:19:00,572 --> 00:19:04,276
>> Adam: So, there is a phase
two to your plan from me, this
404
00:19:04,343 --> 00:19:08,080
supposedly alluring upcoming
proposal?
405
00:19:08,146 --> 00:19:10,816
>> Victor: Trust me.
406
00:19:10,883 --> 00:19:14,620
It'll be better than you can
imagine.
407
00:19:14,686 --> 00:19:20,158
>> Adam: [ Breathes deeply ]
Well, you do sound sincere
408
00:19:20,225 --> 00:19:25,497
enough, but based on our
history, I really doubt that's
409
00:19:25,564 --> 00:19:26,965
the case.
410
00:19:27,032 --> 00:19:29,034
So, I will tell you what I'm
willing to do, Dad.
411
00:19:29,101 --> 00:19:34,673
I will give you 24 hours to
consider my proposal, and then
412
00:19:34,740 --> 00:19:37,676
after that, it will not matter
what you have to offer.
413
00:19:50,989 --> 00:19:54,326
>> Tucker: So, you're suggesting
that my actual priority here is
414
00:19:54,393 --> 00:19:56,328
just preserving my own ego.
415
00:19:56,395 --> 00:19:57,563
Is that right?
416
00:19:57,629 --> 00:20:00,132
>> Ashley: Well, that and also
trying to get a decent price for
417
00:20:00,198 --> 00:20:01,767
your overly leveraged company.
418
00:20:01,833 --> 00:20:03,535
I don't fault you for that.
419
00:20:03,602 --> 00:20:06,038
But then you can't fault me,
either, for being skeptical.
420
00:20:06,104 --> 00:20:08,974
You didn't get your reputation
based on your self-sacrifice and
421
00:20:09,041 --> 00:20:10,008
your altruism, Tucker.
422
00:20:10,075 --> 00:20:12,077
>> Tucker: No, Ashley, I did
not, certainly.
423
00:20:12,144 --> 00:20:13,312
>> Ashley: Right.
424
00:20:13,378 --> 00:20:15,480
>> Tucker: But here I am doing
everything in my power to change
425
00:20:15,547 --> 00:20:17,182
that now.
426
00:20:17,249 --> 00:20:21,486
I have come to realize the hard
way that life without you,
427
00:20:21,553 --> 00:20:28,026
without my son and my grandson
in it is essentially empty.
428
00:20:28,093 --> 00:20:30,829
You all have deserved more than
I have given you, and now I'm
429
00:20:30,896 --> 00:20:35,133
here trying to give it.
430
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:37,703
>> Ashley: And you want me just
to take that on good faith?
431
00:20:37,769 --> 00:20:40,372
>> Tucker: God, I told you that
I was gonna do this, did I not?
432
00:20:40,439 --> 00:20:43,041
I said I'm gonna divest my
company for you.
433
00:20:43,108 --> 00:20:47,346
And here I am following through.
434
00:20:47,412 --> 00:20:50,382
I'm -- I'm willing to part with
this legacy that I have built
435
00:20:50,449 --> 00:20:55,621
for the greater part of my life,
from the ground up.
436
00:20:55,687 --> 00:20:57,923
Do you realize that's the
longest relationship I've ever
437
00:20:57,990 --> 00:20:58,724
had?
438
00:20:58,790 --> 00:21:00,792
>> Ashley: Oh, yeah, I realize
that.
439
00:21:00,859 --> 00:21:04,196
>> Tucker: Does that not matter
to you?
440
00:21:04,262 --> 00:21:07,933
How can my coming to you like
this not count for something?
441
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:11,470
>> Ashley: Maybe I just like to
see you squirm.
442
00:21:11,536 --> 00:21:14,573
God knows you have put me
through it.
443

[ Chuckles ]
Fair enough.
445
00:21:20,846 --> 00:21:25,851
I guess I can't expect you to
just believe that I would change

00:21:25,917 --> 00:21:27,185
overnight.

Hope I'm not interrupting.

00:21:45,070 --> 00:21:46,972
It seems like you two are in the
middle of something.
453

>> Chloe: Uh, no, we were just
wrapping up a really important
454
00:21:50,609 --> 00:21:52,778
discussion, so this is actually
perfect timing.

have anything to do with Jill?

Have you heard back from her
yet?

the same thing about you.

any way you and Jill will change

your stance on this, try and
come up with a way to compromise

any further?

back now.

619

She told Tucker about our plans
to acquire all of his debt.
620
00:29:49,287 --> 00:29:53,391

the chance to buy his company.

did discuss the possibility that

00:32:28,746 --> 00:32:31,049
I know there's gonna be a lot of
hurt feelings after the fact.
685
00:32:31,115 --> 00:32:34,986
But I believe that if Neil was
here, he would back me up on it.
686
00:32:35,053 --> 00:32:38,056
>> Abby: Look, I understand your
position.
687
00:32:38,122 --> 00:32:41,192
But I'm just -- I'm concerned
about the toll that this is
688
00:32:41,259 --> 00:32:43,494
gonna take on you, not to
mention your relationship with
689
00:32:43,561 --> 00:32:45,563
your sister.
690
00:32:45,630 --> 00:32:47,765
Devon, even if you do get your
company back --
691
00:32:47,832 --> 00:32:50,168
>> Devon: I'm gonna get my
company back.
692
00:32:50,234 --> 00:32:54,539
>> Abby: Okay, well, I guess the
question I have for you is --
693
00:32:54,605 --> 00:32:56,574
will you be content?
694
00:32:56,641 --> 00:33:00,278
Because Neil is still gonna
be gone, and the distance
695
00:33:00,345 --> 00:33:02,547
between you and Lily -- it's
gonna be even greater.
696
00:33:02,613 --> 00:33:03,715
>> Devon: Right.
697
00:33:03,781 --> 00:33:05,516
>> Abby: You need your family.
698
00:33:05,583 --> 00:33:07,118
>> Devon: I know.
699
00:33:07,185 --> 00:33:09,754
And Lily's always gonna be that
to me.
700
00:33:09,821 --> 00:33:14,258
But I'm also looking at my
family right now, and the
701
00:33:14,325 --> 00:33:17,462
biggest part of it is upstairs,
asleep.
702
00:33:17,528 --> 00:33:21,466
So, trust me, I know what I'm
fighting for.
703
00:33:21,532 --> 00:33:24,435
>> Lily: Look, I need a really
strong attorney to counter
704
00:33:24,502 --> 00:33:25,670
Devon's attack.
705
00:33:25,737 --> 00:33:28,439
And, frankly, I'm not happy with
the general counsel at
706
00:33:28,506 --> 00:33:31,209
Chancellor-Winters.
707
00:33:31,275 --> 00:33:35,580
[ Sighs ] Amanda, please just
consider coming back, even for a
708
00:33:35,646 --> 00:33:38,983
short time, just to defend the
company.
709
00:33:56,634 --> 00:34:00,438
>> Sally: Thank you for getting
us out of Society so quickly.
710
00:34:00,505 --> 00:34:03,408
I just was not in the mood for
small talk with Adam or just
711
00:34:03,474 --> 00:34:06,411
hanging there while he was right
there watching our every move
712
00:34:06,477 --> 00:34:07,745
like a hawk.
713
00:34:07,812 --> 00:34:09,914
>> Nick: I'm just sorry I didn't
get a chance to get you those
714
00:34:09,981 --> 00:34:11,749
empanadas that you love so much.
715
00:34:11,816 --> 00:34:17,188
>> Sally: Well, I have plenty of
favorites here, too, so I will
716
00:34:17,255 --> 00:34:18,756
be perfectly happy with
something else.
717
00:34:18,823 --> 00:34:20,224
>> Nick: Alright.
718
00:34:20,291 --> 00:34:23,327
Well, what sounds good to you
and that hungry little boy or
719
00:34:23,394 --> 00:34:25,797
girl you got in there?
720
00:34:25,863 --> 00:34:27,398
>> Sally: Oh, my God.
721
00:34:27,465 --> 00:34:32,370
The paternity test results are
in.
722
00:34:36,374 --> 00:34:38,576
>> Victoria: Do you think that
it got out that Newman was about
723
00:34:38,643 --> 00:34:41,612
to make a move, too?
724
00:34:41,679 --> 00:34:42,914
>> Victor: Possibility.
725
00:34:42,980 --> 00:34:45,383
>> Victoria: Look, I know that
you've rejected the idea that he
726
00:34:45,450 --> 00:34:47,752
might be a rival, but do you
think that Devon might be
727
00:34:47,819 --> 00:34:48,252
responsible?
728
00:34:48,319 --> 00:34:49,387
Because I do.
729
00:34:49,454 --> 00:34:51,622
He's the only person that I can
think of that would have
730
00:34:51,689 --> 00:34:55,059
immediate access to this amount
of capital in such a short time.
731
00:34:55,126 --> 00:34:56,828
>> Victor: No.
732
00:34:56,894 --> 00:35:00,665
I know Tucker and Devon were
having difficulties, but there's
733
00:35:00,731 --> 00:35:04,735
no way that Devon would buy
Tucker's company out from under
734
00:35:04,802 --> 00:35:05,203
his father.
735
00:35:05,269 --> 00:35:07,839
No way.
736
00:35:07,905 --> 00:35:09,607
Someone else is involved.
737
00:35:09,674 --> 00:35:12,443
>> Victoria: What if Tucker saw
this coming and his offer to
738
00:35:12,510 --> 00:35:16,314
sell was a stalling tactic to
screw us over so that somebody
739
00:35:16,380 --> 00:35:17,648
else could win?
740
00:35:17,715 --> 00:35:22,019
>> Victor: Possible.
741
00:35:22,086 --> 00:35:27,458
Who the hell else could have
done that?
742
00:35:27,525 --> 00:35:28,926
>> Tucker: You're enjoying this,
aren't you?
743
00:35:28,993 --> 00:35:31,629
>> Ashley: [ Chuckles ]
Maybe a little bit.
744
00:35:31,696 --> 00:35:32,797
>> Tucker: Mm-hmm.
745
00:35:32,864 --> 00:35:34,932
>> Ashley: I think it's good for
you to be put to the test.
746
00:35:34,999 --> 00:35:37,735
>> Tucker: Well, you got your
wish.
747
00:35:37,802 --> 00:35:40,204
>> Ashley: I certainly did.
748
00:35:40,271 --> 00:35:42,306
And for the record...
749
00:35:42,373 --> 00:35:44,876
I bought your debt.
750
00:35:44,942 --> 00:35:48,546
I own you.
751
00:35:48,613 --> 00:35:52,383
I'm not gonna make it easy for
you.
