I know Tucker's on his

00:07:31,350 --> 00:07:32,318
going on with you and Nate.
176
00:07:32,385 --> 00:07:35,188
But you refuse to acknowledge
one big difference.
177
00:07:35,254 --> 00:07:36,122
>> Victoria: Oh, yeah?
178
00:07:36,189 --> 00:07:37,523
And what exactly is that?
179
00:07:37,590 --> 00:07:43,129
>> Nick: Sally was never
gunning for my job.
180
00:07:43,196 --> 00:07:46,966
>> Audra: Are you suggesting
that I'm jealous of what
181
00:07:47,033 --> 00:07:51,137
your puppy adoration of
a woman who clearly doesn't feel
182
00:07:51,204 --> 00:07:52,572
the same way about you?
183
00:07:52,638 --> 00:07:55,308
>> Tucker: I'm afraid you're not
up to speed on current
184
00:07:55,374 --> 00:07:56,843
events, in that case.
185
00:07:56,909 --> 00:07:59,545
I've made quite a bit of
progress in that department
186
00:07:59,612 --> 00:08:01,247
since you and I last spoke.
187
00:08:01,314 --> 00:08:02,481
>> Audra: Have you now?
188
00:08:02,548 --> 00:08:07,320
>> Tucker: Yes, I have.
189
00:08:07,386 --> 00:08:11,557
I live in the Abbott house.
190
00:08:11,624 --> 00:08:12,358
>> Audra: Uh...
191
00:08:12,425 --> 00:08:13,359
>> Tucker: Yes.
192
00:08:13,426 --> 00:08:16,596
What you got to say now?
193
00:08:16,662 --> 00:08:17,730
>> Audra: What's rent like?
194
00:08:17,797 --> 00:08:19,065
>> Tucker: Rent free, baby.
195
00:08:19,131 --> 00:08:19,665
>> Audra: Oh.
196
00:08:19,732 --> 00:08:20,466
>> Tucker: Yeah.
197
00:08:20,533 --> 00:08:24,470
Ashley said,
"Come in. Live with me."
198
00:08:24,537 --> 00:08:25,204
>> Audra: Wow.
199
00:08:25,271 --> 00:08:26,172
>> Tucker: Yeah.
200
00:08:26,239 --> 00:08:28,274
>> Audra: Unrequited
co-habitation.
201
00:08:28,341 --> 00:08:29,375
Good for you, Tucker.
202
00:08:29,442 --> 00:08:32,478
>> Tucker: Speaking of
unrequited, how are things going
203
00:08:32,545 --> 00:08:34,180
with Nate?
204
00:08:34,247 --> 00:08:36,282
You still banging your
head against that wall?
205
00:08:36,349 --> 00:08:40,453
>> Audra: Actually, uh, things
are going surprisingly well.
206
00:08:40,519 --> 00:08:44,323
You know, I'd hope for a bit
more, um, entertainment,
207
00:08:44,390 --> 00:08:47,326
but that was at first.
208
00:08:47,393 --> 00:08:50,796
Now, the situation as it stands,
could work out
209
00:08:50,863 --> 00:08:51,998
better than I planned.
210
00:08:52,064 --> 00:08:54,233
>> Tucker: That's a fantastic
way to look at it.
211
00:08:54,300 --> 00:08:58,137
I'm surprised though
because I know how much you
212
00:08:58,204 --> 00:09:01,140
like to be entertained.
213
00:09:01,207 --> 00:09:03,342
And you're at your most
productive when you're
214
00:09:03,409 --> 00:09:07,580
mixing quite a bit of
pleasure with your business.
215
00:09:07,647 --> 00:09:08,648
>> Audra: Nope.
216
00:09:08,714 --> 00:09:12,318
I am keeping things
strictly business.
217
00:09:12,385 --> 00:09:17,990
You know, Nate is hungry,
smart, decisive.
218
00:09:18,057 --> 00:09:20,860
He's exactly the kind of partner
that I need and want at
219
00:09:20,927 --> 00:09:23,029
this stage of my career.
220
00:09:23,095 --> 00:09:25,464
He's the right ticket to
get me where I wanna be.
221
00:09:25,531 --> 00:09:26,532
>> Tucker: [indistinct], baby.
222
00:09:26,599 --> 00:09:27,767
>> Audra: Hm.
223
00:09:27,833 --> 00:09:31,604
You know, as opposed to a man
who's only occasionally useful,
224
00:09:31,671 --> 00:09:37,343
mildly charming, but indecisive
and weak willed and then
225
00:09:37,410 --> 00:09:41,714
lost everything he has in
an embarrassing fashion.
226
00:09:41,781 --> 00:09:44,116
>> Tucker: Maybe you've
forgotten who you're
227
00:09:44,183 --> 00:09:46,285
talking to here.
228
00:09:52,658 --> 00:09:54,660
>> Jack: A coup.
229
00:09:54,727 --> 00:09:57,563
I cannot believe Ashley
is planning on making this move.
230
00:09:57,630 --> 00:09:58,597
It's not possible.
231
00:09:58,664 --> 00:10:01,300
>> Billy: I said might
be planning a coup.
232
00:10:01,367 --> 00:10:04,603
And coup is my word, not hers.
233
00:10:04,670 --> 00:10:06,939
But I know she floated
the idea of convening
234
00:10:07,006 --> 00:10:09,141
the board in order to take
a certain action against you.
235
00:10:09,208 --> 00:10:10,977
>> Jack: I know she's
upset about Diane.
236
00:10:11,043 --> 00:10:14,480
I just never thought she would
go so far as to make this move.
237
00:10:14,547 --> 00:10:16,582
>> Billy: Jack, she's concerned
about the way Diane has
238
00:10:16,649 --> 00:10:19,585
wormed her way back into
your life in record time,
239
00:10:19,652 --> 00:10:22,455
despite a very checkered past.
240
00:10:22,521 --> 00:10:27,326
She's concerned about the undue
influence that your fiancée
241
00:10:27,393 --> 00:10:28,928
seems to have over you.
242
00:10:28,995 --> 00:10:32,365
>> Jack: I-- I thought her
threats were just, you know,
243
00:10:32,431 --> 00:10:35,901
something she'd blurted out in
the heat of the moment, an
244
00:10:35,968 --> 00:10:38,571
intimidating tactic she had no
intention of following through.
245
00:10:38,637 --> 00:10:41,540
>> Billy: I don't know if
she's done anything yet.
246
00:10:41,607 --> 00:10:45,211
But I have heard rumblings
that she is gathering the troops
247
00:10:45,277 --> 00:10:46,445
in order to vote against you.
248
00:10:46,512 --> 00:10:51,550
>> Jack: How is she justifying
this? On what grounds?
249
00:10:51,617 --> 00:10:55,087
>> Billy: Your unwavering
devotion to Diane, Jack.
250
00:10:55,154 --> 00:10:57,123
She sees it
as a sign of weakness.
251
00:10:57,189 --> 00:10:58,057
You're too invested.
252
00:10:58,124 --> 00:10:59,658
You're too concerned
about a woman who could
253
00:10:59,725 --> 00:11:03,295
potentially end up in jail
for a very long time.
254
00:11:03,362 --> 00:11:04,430
>> Jack: Okay.
255
00:11:04,497 --> 00:11:06,499
Why are you telling me this now?
256
00:11:06,565 --> 00:11:09,468
You have a position on this.
257
00:11:09,535 --> 00:11:12,271
You agree with Ashley?
258
00:11:12,338 --> 00:11:16,642
You also think I should
step down as Jabot?
259
00:11:16,709 --> 00:11:19,645
>> Audra: Perhaps I misspoke.
260
00:11:19,712 --> 00:11:22,348
Our past collaborations
have proved
261
00:11:22,415 --> 00:11:24,683
to be beneficial for both of us.
262
00:11:24,750 --> 00:11:28,988
We both got something out of it,
in and out of the bedroom.
263
00:11:29,055 --> 00:11:31,757
That's why there's
no need for insults.
264
00:11:31,824 --> 00:11:35,194
And besides, I doubt you
would've even put out with me if
265
00:11:35,261 --> 00:11:37,930
you didn't see something
in my capabilities and
266
00:11:37,997 --> 00:11:40,366
respect my ambition.
267
00:11:40,433 --> 00:11:41,233
>> Tucker: That's true.
268
00:11:41,300 --> 00:11:42,234
On both counts.
269
00:11:42,301 --> 00:11:44,437
>> Audra: Mm.
270
00:11:44,503 --> 00:11:45,504
>> Tucker: Wow.
271
00:11:45,571 --> 00:11:51,043
I guess this is a parting of
the ways for you and me.
272
00:11:51,110 --> 00:11:54,380
I wish you well, really.
273
00:11:54,447 --> 00:11:58,250
Newman Media and all else.
274
00:11:58,317 --> 00:12:03,589
>> Audra: And I wish you
well with Ashley, I guess.
275
00:12:03,656 --> 00:12:07,993
>> Tucker: Oh, uh, do you mind
if I give you a friendly word of
276
00:12:08,060 --> 00:12:09,462
warning for old time sake?
277
00:12:09,528 --> 00:12:10,396
>> Audra: Yeah, sure.
278
00:12:10,463 --> 00:12:12,498
Warn away, old friend.
279
00:12:12,565 --> 00:12:14,467
>> Tucker: Don't get too cocky.
280
00:12:14,533 --> 00:12:17,970
Your new partner and the former
Dr. Hastings has proven on
281
00:12:18,037 --> 00:12:20,639
more than one occasion he's
not above turning on
282
00:12:20,706 --> 00:12:22,475
those he's closest to.
283
00:12:22,541 --> 00:12:26,312
He can be ruthless if he feels
you're no longer useful.
284
00:12:26,378 --> 00:12:30,616
I wouldn't get in his way.
285
00:12:39,859 --> 00:12:42,061
>> Devon: Sharon, how are you?
286
00:12:42,128 --> 00:12:43,896
>> Sharon: I can't complain.
287
00:12:43,963 --> 00:12:44,797
>> Devon: Good.
288
00:12:44,864 --> 00:12:45,898
>> Sharon: You want your usual?
289
00:12:45,965 --> 00:12:46,932
>> Devon: Yes, please.
290
00:12:46,999 --> 00:12:47,867
>> Sharon: Got it.
291
00:12:47,933 --> 00:12:48,868
>> Devon: Thanks.
292
00:12:56,542 --> 00:12:57,743
Sharon, I'll be right back.
293
00:12:57,810 --> 00:12:58,911
>> Sharon: Oh, take your time.
294
00:12:58,978 --> 00:13:03,082
>> Devon: Thanks.
295
00:13:03,149 --> 00:13:04,950
Hey, you.
296
00:13:05,017 --> 00:13:06,118
It's good to see you.
297
00:13:06,185 --> 00:13:07,820
>> Elena: Good to see you too.
298
00:13:07,887 --> 00:13:10,990
>> Devon: I saw all these
boxes outside your apartment.
299
00:13:11,056 --> 00:13:14,493
You and Nate moving and
not letting me know?
300
00:13:14,560 --> 00:13:17,596
>> Elena: No,
those were my boxes, Devon.
301
00:13:17,663 --> 00:13:20,566
Not Nate's.
302
00:13:20,633 --> 00:13:24,136
>> Devon: Ah, what did he do?
303
00:13:24,203 --> 00:13:26,472
>> Elena: I found out
that Nate's been sleeping
304
00:13:26,539 --> 00:13:30,676
with Victoria.
305
00:13:30,743 --> 00:13:32,444
>> Victoria: So let
me get this straight.
306
00:13:32,511 --> 00:13:35,114
You think that Nate
is after your job
307
00:13:35,181 --> 00:13:37,516
and that's what you're
so worried about?
308
00:13:37,583 --> 00:13:39,451
>> Nick: I didn't say he
was going to succeed,
309
00:13:39,518 --> 00:13:40,586
but he might try.
310
00:13:40,653 --> 00:13:42,855
It's been my concern
ever since what he tried to pull
311
00:13:42,922 --> 00:13:43,989
at Chancellor-Winters.
312
00:13:44,056 --> 00:13:45,824
What makes you think he's
not gonna try and do
313
00:13:45,891 --> 00:13:47,092
the same thing here?
314
00:13:47,159 --> 00:13:50,095
>> Victoria: And you're so damn
sure that Nate is up to no good
315
00:13:50,162 --> 00:13:55,434
with-- without any proof of your
suspicions and your accusations?
316
00:13:55,501 --> 00:13:58,470
>> Nick: What about his
track record of deceit and lies?
317
00:13:58,537 --> 00:14:01,440
>> Victoria: At his former
company on our behalf. That's
318
00:14:01,507 --> 00:14:02,675
no reason to hold a grudge.
319
00:14:02,741 --> 00:14:04,777
>> Nick: I'll tell you what,
let's bring Elena in
320
00:14:04,843 --> 00:14:06,845
here and ask her what she thinks
about what Nate did
321
00:14:06,912 --> 00:14:09,048
and just for fun, we could also
bring Devon and Lily too.
322
00:14:09,114 --> 00:14:10,883
>> Victoria: This situation
is very different.
323
00:14:10,950 --> 00:14:13,319
>> Nick: How about the fact that
he's always in here having these
324
00:14:13,385 --> 00:14:14,820
little meetings with you?
325
00:14:14,887 --> 00:14:16,522
Don't you think he should
be getting stuff done
326
00:14:16,589 --> 00:14:17,489
in his own office?
327
00:14:17,556 --> 00:14:18,390
>> Victoria: Oh, please.
328
00:14:18,457 --> 00:14:19,858
He reports to me.
329
00:14:19,925 --> 00:14:21,493
Why wouldn't we be meeting?
330
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:23,495
>> Nick: He's been making
himself very familiar with every
331
00:14:23,562 --> 00:14:25,464
division of Newman Enterprises.
332
00:14:25,531 --> 00:14:28,200
It seems to me he should
be focusing on his own
333
00:14:28,267 --> 00:14:29,335
division first and foremost.
334
00:14:29,401 --> 00:14:32,571
>> Victoria: So now you wanna
penalize the man for smart
335
00:14:32,638 --> 00:14:36,475
thinking and broadening his
knowledge of our company.
336
00:14:36,542 --> 00:14:38,577
You know that there's absolutely
nothing wrong with looking
337
00:14:38,644 --> 00:14:40,946
for more synergy under
the Newman umbrella. In my book,
338
00:14:41,013 --> 00:14:42,147
he should be commended.
339
00:14:42,214 --> 00:14:45,084
>> Nick: I cannot believe you
cannot see this giant red flag
340
00:14:45,150 --> 00:14:46,318
waving right in your face.
341
00:14:46,385 --> 00:14:48,320
Vic, we have been here before.
342
00:14:48,387 --> 00:14:50,656
>> Victoria: I already told
our father that there
343
00:14:50,723 --> 00:14:53,692
would be no repeat of
the Ashland Locke affair.
344
00:14:53,759 --> 00:14:55,527
So just drop it, Nick.
345
00:14:55,594 --> 00:14:57,496
I'm in control. Just move on.
346
00:14:57,563 --> 00:15:02,468
Or the only person who's gonna
have a problem here is you.

>> Jack: You actually
considered the possibility
519
00:22:44,396 --> 00:22:46,131
of letting Ashley ambush me.
520
00:22:46,198 --> 00:22:48,533
>> Billy: No, it's not that,
but I was worried that
521
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:50,702
this was gonna turn into
a shoot-the-messenger type
522
00:22:50,769 --> 00:22:52,003
situation.
523
00:22:52,070 --> 00:22:55,640
Because Jack, you know,
no offense here, but you've been
524
00:22:55,707 --> 00:22:58,210
a little over the top
where Diane is concerned and I'm
525
00:22:58,276 --> 00:23:04,382
wondering if you're aware how
this looks to the outside world.
526
00:23:04,449 --> 00:23:07,219
>> Jack: And what do you mean
by that?
527
00:23:07,285 --> 00:23:09,821
>> Billy: Well,
let's talk about it.
528
00:23:09,888 --> 00:23:13,391
You professed your love
and got engaged in a very public
529
00:23:13,458 --> 00:23:17,095
manner to a woman who was
almost immediately charged
530
00:23:17,162 --> 00:23:20,565
with the murder of your ex-wife.
531
00:23:20,632 --> 00:23:22,768
It's not hard to think how
the rest of the world could
532
00:23:22,834 --> 00:23:26,571
look at that, especially
where Jabot is concerned.
533
00:23:26,638 --> 00:23:29,741
>> Jack: Yeah,
that does look strange.
534
00:23:29,808 --> 00:23:33,645
Um, thank you for your honesty.
535
00:23:33,712 --> 00:23:36,815
I hadn't looked at it that way.
536
00:23:36,882 --> 00:23:47,592
But don't worry, I will handle
everything from here.
537
00:23:47,659 --> 00:23:50,428
>> Elena: Are you asking
if I want revenge on
538
00:23:50,495 --> 00:23:51,997
Nate and Victoria?
539
00:23:52,063 --> 00:23:54,599
>> Audra: Uh,
payback isn't unheard of.
540
00:23:54,666 --> 00:23:57,669
>> Elena: I mean, of course,
I've thought about it.
541
00:23:57,736 --> 00:24:00,005
>> Audra: Does that mean
you're thinking about
542
00:24:00,071 --> 00:24:03,041
bringing JT to town or do
you have a brand new idea?
543
00:24:03,108 --> 00:24:05,610
>> Elena: Oh, I have considered
everything including
544
00:24:05,677 --> 00:24:07,712
sabotaging Nate and Victoria.
545
00:24:07,779 --> 00:24:11,383
But I don't wanna waste my
energy on something like that.
546
00:24:11,449 --> 00:24:13,985
The two of them will
probably blow themselves up.
547
00:24:14,052 --> 00:24:15,187
>> Audra: Hm.
548
00:24:15,253 --> 00:24:18,156
>> Elena: They will hurt each
other more than I ever could.
549
00:24:18,223 --> 00:24:19,758
>> Audra: There you go.
550
00:24:19,825 --> 00:24:21,226
Let them have at it.
551
00:24:21,293 --> 00:24:24,462
Just sit back and
have the last laugh.
552
00:24:24,529 --> 00:24:28,900
You know, if Victoria wants Nate
she can have him, right?
553
00:24:28,967 --> 00:24:32,604
I mean, you did tell
her off when you found
554
00:24:32,671 --> 00:24:34,573
them together in L.A.,
didn't you?
555
00:24:34,639 --> 00:24:35,507
>> Elena: No, not really.
556
00:24:35,574 --> 00:24:38,176
She actually got outta
there pretty quickly.
557
00:24:38,243 --> 00:24:39,344
>> Audra: Coward.
558
00:24:39,411 --> 00:24:42,414
>> Elena: But I did get a chance
to throw a drink on Nate.
559
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:43,281
>> Audra: Really?
560
00:24:43,348 --> 00:24:44,316
>> Elena: Mm-hmm.
561
00:24:44,382 --> 00:24:46,318
>> Audra: I've always
wanted to do that. That must
562
00:24:46,384 --> 00:24:47,652
must have been so satisfying.
563
00:24:47,719 --> 00:24:49,321
>> Elena: I don't know.
564
00:24:49,387 --> 00:24:50,856
I don't remember how I felt.
565
00:24:50,922 --> 00:24:52,023
It was all a blur.
566
00:24:52,090 --> 00:24:54,526
But I didn't wanna make a scene
in a busy restaurant.
567
00:24:54,593 --> 00:24:55,927
It's not really my style.
568
00:24:55,994 --> 00:24:58,029
>> Audra: I see.
569
00:24:58,096 --> 00:25:00,465
You were probably glad when
Victoria left so quickly, so.
570
00:25:00,532 --> 00:25:05,370
>> Elena: Maybe, but I still
have a lot to say to her.
571
00:25:05,437 --> 00:25:07,839
>> Audra: Oh, well, you know,
she's probably in her
572
00:25:07,906 --> 00:25:08,840
office right now.
573
00:25:08,907 --> 00:25:11,443
Not a lot of people there.
574
00:25:11,509 --> 00:25:13,445
>> Elena: Hm.
575
00:25:13,511 --> 00:25:16,548
>> Nate: Think what you want to,
Devon, but deep down,
576
00:25:16,615 --> 00:25:18,617
I'm the same man
I've always been.
577
00:25:18,683 --> 00:25:21,119
But you probably haven't had
the chance to know this since
578
00:25:21,186 --> 00:25:25,724
with you, it's always been about
you, your relationships,
579
00:25:25,790 --> 00:25:32,497
your inheritance, your company,
your family, while I was always
580
00:25:32,564 --> 00:25:35,133
somewhere off on the sidelines.
581
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:36,835
A convenient cousin.
582
00:25:36,902 --> 00:25:39,504
Someone to turn to when you
needed medical advice.
583
00:25:39,571 --> 00:25:43,408
Someone you never accept or
respect at Chancellor-Winters.
584
00:25:43,475 --> 00:25:45,510
>> Devon: Hey, you went
behind your family's back to try
585
00:25:45,577 --> 00:25:47,479
and sell out our company to
your new girlfriend.
586
00:25:47,545 --> 00:25:49,347
You're still trying
to make it about me?
587
00:25:49,414 --> 00:25:51,016
>> Nate: I think you
can shoulder some of
588
00:25:51,082 --> 00:25:51,917
that blame, don't you?
589
00:25:51,983 --> 00:25:53,084
>> Devon: I don't at all.
590
00:25:53,151 --> 00:25:55,220
And I hope you enjoy climbing
the corporate ladder
591
00:25:55,287 --> 00:25:57,088
'cause it's all you seem
to care about these days.
592
00:25:57,155 --> 00:26:00,158
And I hope it keeps
you warm at night, all right?
593
00:26:00,225 --> 00:26:01,593
>> Nate: You know what, Devon?
594
00:26:01,660 --> 00:26:02,594
>> Devon: What?
595
00:26:02,661 --> 00:26:05,363
>> Nate: I just had an epiphany.
596
00:26:05,430 --> 00:26:10,669
You never really knew me at all.
597
00:26:13,738 --> 00:26:15,440
>> Nick: What's up
with the champagne?
598
00:26:15,507 --> 00:26:17,509
Are you celebrating something?
599
00:26:17,575 --> 00:26:21,947
>> Sharon: Um,
I wasn't planning to.
600
00:26:22,013 --> 00:26:25,884
It just was delivered to me
without a sender's name.
601
00:26:25,951 --> 00:26:31,122
And then I forgot all about it
because of my evening with Aria.
602
00:26:31,189 --> 00:26:32,724
That just grabbed
all of my attention.
603
00:26:32,791 --> 00:26:36,494
But I do know that the champagne
is not from any of the kids
604
00:26:36,561 --> 00:26:39,064
or Adam because I asked.
605
00:26:39,130 --> 00:26:39,965
>> Nick: How about Chance?
606
00:26:40,031 --> 00:26:42,667
I know you two are
getting closer since
607
00:26:42,734 --> 00:26:44,002
he and Abby broke up.
608
00:26:44,069 --> 00:26:47,372
>> Sharon: Mm, I don't think it
was Chance because he would've
609
00:26:47,439 --> 00:26:51,509
signed it instead of
including the rather cryptic
610
00:26:51,576 --> 00:26:53,078
note that came with it.
611
00:26:53,144 --> 00:26:55,413
>> Nick: What'd it say?
612
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:59,217
>> Sharon: "Memories are
what life is made of."
613
00:26:59,284 --> 00:27:01,386
I don't think that
sounds like Chance.
614
00:27:01,453 --> 00:27:04,923
>> Nick: Yeah, me either.
615
00:27:04,990 --> 00:27:07,192
I mean, it's a serious gift.
616
00:27:07,258 --> 00:27:10,495
Really nice vintage.
617
00:27:10,562 --> 00:27:13,598
Is this like a smudge
of paint or something?
618
00:27:13,665 --> 00:27:19,170
>> Sharon: Um,
I'm sure it came like that.
619
00:27:19,237 --> 00:27:22,640
>> Nick: I hate to say it,
but it kinda looks like blood.
620
00:27:37,989 --> 00:27:40,158
>> Nate: I see you're alone.
621
00:27:40,225 --> 00:27:41,493
>> Victoria: Yeah.
622
00:27:41,559 --> 00:27:44,863
Well, not anymore. Lucky me.
623
00:27:44,929 --> 00:27:47,866
>> Nate: I think
I'm the lucky one.
624
00:27:47,932 --> 00:27:50,035
>> Victoria: I guess
we both are.
625
00:27:50,101 --> 00:27:53,038
>> Nate: Uh,
what's going on with Nick?
626
00:27:53,104 --> 00:27:55,106
He seems tense around me.
627
00:27:55,173 --> 00:27:56,741
Increasingly so.
628
00:27:56,808 --> 00:27:57,876
>> Victoria: No, he's fine.
629
00:27:57,942 --> 00:28:01,446
I, you know, it-- Somehow,
he's gotten it into his head
630
00:28:01,513 --> 00:28:04,215
that you're gunning for his job.
631
00:28:04,282 --> 00:28:05,984
>> Nate: What? Wow.
632
00:28:06,051 --> 00:28:07,152
That's quite a leap.
633
00:28:07,218 --> 00:28:08,319
>> Victoria: Well.
634
00:28:08,386 --> 00:28:11,089
>> Nate: Where in the world did
he get an idea like that?
635
00:28:11,156 --> 00:28:14,826
>> Victoria: Often, uh,
my brother has a hard
636
00:28:14,893 --> 00:28:17,395
time getting past other people's
transgressions, even though
637
00:28:17,462 --> 00:28:19,631
he has had a few of his own.
638
00:28:19,697 --> 00:28:21,833
>> Nate: I mean, haven't we all?
639
00:28:21,900 --> 00:28:24,936
I'd like to think that our
past mistakes wouldn't
640
00:28:25,003 --> 00:28:30,241
be misunderstood or
held against us.
641
00:28:30,308 --> 00:28:34,846
But to be honest, uh,
Nick isn't completely wrong.
642
00:28:34,913 --> 00:28:37,682
I can't say that I hate
the idea of rising to
643
00:28:37,749 --> 00:28:39,918
the top here someday.
644
00:28:39,984 --> 00:28:42,320
I can think of much
worse things than working
645
00:28:42,387 --> 00:28:44,089
side by side with you.
646
00:28:44,155 --> 00:28:50,628
[ knock on the door ]
>> Victoria: Come in.
647
00:28:50,695 --> 00:28:52,630
>> Elena: Would you look
at this?
648
00:28:52,697 --> 00:28:56,401
The two of you together and
you have clothes on.
649
00:28:56,468 --> 00:28:58,203
Special occasion?
650
00:28:58,269 --> 00:29:08,480
Sorry to crash the party,
but this just couldn't wait.
651
00:29:08,546 --> 00:29:11,416
>> Sharon: You really
think that's blood?
652
00:29:11,483 --> 00:29:15,887
>> Nick: I mean, probably not,
but what do I know?
653
00:29:15,954 --> 00:29:18,056
I'm not a forensics expert.
654
00:29:18,123 --> 00:29:21,326
>> Sharon: Well,
what is it then?
655
00:29:21,392 --> 00:29:23,328
>> Nick: Probably just
like a red wine stain
656
00:29:23,394 --> 00:29:25,263
from the store it came from.
657
00:29:25,330 --> 00:29:27,065
>> Sharon: Hm. Nope.
658
00:29:27,132 --> 00:29:28,900
I doubt it.
659
00:29:28,967 --> 00:29:32,604
The color is off for
it to be a wine stain.
660
00:29:32,670 --> 00:29:35,940
Who sends a brand new
expensive, but damaged,
661
00:29:36,007 --> 00:29:40,078
bottle as a gift and then
doesn't include a signature?
662
00:29:40,145 --> 00:29:42,013
>> Nick: Did you call
the store it came from?
663
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,849
Maybe they have some information
on the anonymous sender.
664
00:29:44,916 --> 00:29:47,418
>> Sharon: There was no
information about a store
665
00:29:47,485 --> 00:29:48,653
or a return address.
666
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:53,391
No postage or shipping
information either.
667
00:29:53,458 --> 00:29:55,293
>> Nick: No mailing label?
668
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:58,062
>> Sharon: I mean, there was
the delivery guy, but I didn't
669
00:29:58,129 --> 00:30:02,934
even think to ask him anything.
670
00:30:03,001 --> 00:30:06,070
>> Nick: Yeah, I don't know,
Sharon.
671
00:30:06,137 --> 00:30:09,474
I mean, if I were you,
I wouldn't drink it,
672
00:30:09,541 --> 00:30:11,643
just to be sure.
673
00:30:11,709 --> 00:30:15,213
>> Sharon: This is kinda weird,
hasn't it?
674
00:30:22,220 --> 00:30:23,288
>> Abby: Billy, hi.
675
00:30:23,354 --> 00:30:24,389
>> Billy: Hi.
676
00:30:24,455 --> 00:30:25,456
>> Abby: It's been so long.
677
00:30:25,523 --> 00:30:26,224
>> Billy: I know.
678
00:30:26,291 --> 00:30:27,392
I'm a terrible uncle.
679
00:30:27,458 --> 00:30:28,560
Even worse great-uncle.
680
00:30:28,626 --> 00:30:29,494
How are you?
681
00:30:29,561 --> 00:30:30,962
How is that beautiful boy, Dom?
682
00:30:31,029 --> 00:30:32,897
>> Abby: Me and the little
man are doing great.
683
00:30:32,964 --> 00:30:33,932
How are you?
684
00:30:33,998 --> 00:30:35,066
>> Billy: Pretty good, you know?
685
00:30:35,133 --> 00:30:37,068
Right now, I'm just happy
I'm not living at
686
00:30:37,135 --> 00:30:38,203
the Abbott family house.
687
00:30:38,269 --> 00:30:40,805
I mean, a lot of drama,
a lot of tension going on there.
688
00:30:40,872 --> 00:30:42,273
>> Abby: I can only imagine.
689
00:30:42,340 --> 00:30:44,842
All of those people,
with all of their own agendas
690
00:30:44,909 --> 00:30:46,110
living under the same roof.
691
00:30:46,177 --> 00:30:46,878
>> Billy: Yeah.
692
00:30:46,945 --> 00:30:48,446
I'm actually worried
about Summer.
693
00:30:48,513 --> 00:30:49,914
It's gotta be a lot for her.
694
00:30:49,981 --> 00:30:53,117
>> Abby: Yeah,
my heart breaks for her.
695
00:30:53,184 --> 00:30:55,553
Um, you know, actually there's
something I'm a little
696
00:30:55,620 --> 00:30:58,690
bit more worried about with that
whole living situation.
697
00:30:58,756 --> 00:30:59,891
>> Billy: What's that?
698
00:30:59,958 --> 00:31:04,262
>> Abby: I'm afraid that Tucker
is on his way to completely
699
00:31:04,329 --> 00:31:07,031
winning my mom back.
700
00:31:13,338 --> 00:31:23,381
>> Jack: Ashley,
get down here now.
701
00:31:23,448 --> 00:31:25,149
Where is Ashley?
702
00:31:33,024 --> 00:31:35,793
>> Nate: Elena, um,
what's going on? Is there
703
00:31:35,860 --> 00:31:38,329
something I can do for you?
704
00:31:38,396 --> 00:31:40,465
>> Elena: As a matter of fact,
there is.
705
00:31:40,531 --> 00:31:42,900
>> Nate: Okay. Uh, let's go
somewhere else and talk.
706
00:31:42,967 --> 00:31:47,038
>> Victoria: Oh, let Elena say
what she came here to say.
707
00:31:47,105 --> 00:31:47,805
>> Nate: All right.
708
00:31:47,872 --> 00:31:49,841
Um, floor is yours.
709
00:31:49,907 --> 00:31:52,010
You have our full attention.
710
00:31:52,076 --> 00:31:53,411
>> Elena: Wow.
711
00:31:53,478 --> 00:31:56,648
You two are so in sync now.
712
00:31:56,714 --> 00:32:01,152
And you,
the great Victoria Newman,
713
00:32:01,219 --> 00:32:04,756
CEO of one of the world's
largest corporations.
714
00:32:04,822 --> 00:32:07,025
You really didn't think
people would realize what's been
715
00:32:07,091 --> 00:32:08,893
going on in this office?
716
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:13,665
Or notice that you two
shared a room in L.A.?
717
00:32:13,731 --> 00:32:15,867
No.
718
00:32:15,933 --> 00:32:18,036
Because it's your dirty
little secret and that's what
719
00:32:18,102 --> 00:32:19,937
makes it exciting, right?
720
00:32:20,004 --> 00:32:22,540
Although, it's pretty careless.
721
00:32:22,607 --> 00:32:24,709
Even your brother knows
what's up.
722
00:32:24,776 --> 00:32:25,843
And he is not the only one.
723
00:32:25,910 --> 00:32:27,812
Everyone is catching onto it.
724
00:32:27,879 --> 00:32:31,282
So this is the image
you're portraying to your
725
00:32:31,349 --> 00:32:33,484
staff and the rest of the world.
726
00:32:33,551 --> 00:32:36,521
How professional.
727
00:32:36,587 --> 00:32:40,692
You're ruining your reputation
for a tawdry, little affair.
728
00:32:40,758 --> 00:32:41,826
>> Nate: Okay. Okay.
729
00:32:41,893 --> 00:32:43,061
Elena, that is enough.
730
00:32:43,127 --> 00:32:45,229
If that's all you have to say--
>> Elena: Not by a long shot,
731
00:32:45,296 --> 00:32:47,198
Nate.
732
00:32:47,265 --> 00:32:51,369
I came here to tell you that
I am quitting the podcast.
733
00:32:51,436 --> 00:32:54,238
The contract I signed,
you'll be letting me out of it
734
00:32:54,305 --> 00:32:56,574
with no questions asked.
735
00:32:56,641 --> 00:32:59,477
And that non-compete,
I don't wanna hear any
736
00:32:59,544 --> 00:33:01,512
nonsense about that.
737
00:33:01,579 --> 00:33:04,916
Even though it probably won't
matter because I will be putting
738
00:33:04,982 --> 00:33:08,486
my full focus back on
practicing medicine.
739
00:33:08,553 --> 00:33:13,925
You know, a career that actually
changes lives, saves lives
740
00:33:13,991 --> 00:33:16,894
and doesn't destroy them.
741
00:33:16,961 --> 00:33:22,633
A career that
actually helps people
742
00:33:22,700 --> 00:33:26,771
and doesn't just care
about bank accounts.
743
00:33:26,838 --> 00:33:29,874
You know, I should have
known you were a lost cause Nate
744
00:33:29,941 --> 00:33:31,843
when you left medicine.
745
00:33:31,909 --> 00:33:35,813
You just couldn't handle not
being the rockstar surgeon,
746
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:37,348
could ya?
747
00:33:37,415 --> 00:33:42,286
And you think your job, your
position, your office,
748
00:33:42,353 --> 00:33:46,524
you think
they really mean something?
749
00:33:46,591 --> 00:33:51,329
It just means
that you're pathetic.
750
00:33:51,396 --> 00:34:03,674
The both of you
are so damned pathetic.
751
00:34:03,741 --> 00:34:09,080
[ door slamming ]
[ Nate exhaling ]
752
00:34:09,147 --> 00:34:11,149
>> Tucker: You know, I always
figured the manners in this
753
00:34:11,215 --> 00:34:14,018
place would be more gentile.
754
00:34:14,085 --> 00:34:15,820
Sometimes, it's like
a truck stop
755
00:34:15,887 --> 00:34:16,921
on a Friday night around here.
756
00:34:16,988 --> 00:34:18,856
>> Jack: I have zero
tolerance for your snide
757
00:34:18,923 --> 00:34:19,757
remarks right now.
758
00:34:19,824 --> 00:34:21,125
Where the hell is my sister?
759
00:34:21,192 --> 00:34:23,361
>> Tucker: I don't know.
760
00:34:23,428 --> 00:34:26,531
And even if I did,
I don't think I'd tell you.
761
00:34:26,597 --> 00:34:27,865
>> Jack: Oh, why is that?
762
00:34:27,932 --> 00:34:30,034
>> Tucker: 'Cause you seem
quite upset.
763
00:34:30,101 --> 00:34:32,470
And I don't know want
you going after her.
764
00:34:32,537 --> 00:34:34,439
>> Jack: Oh,
so you're her protector now?
765
00:34:34,505 --> 00:34:37,108
>> Tucker: That's right.
766
00:34:37,175 --> 00:34:39,811
Do you remember your
warning to me, Jack?
767
00:34:39,877 --> 00:34:42,513
Don't hurt Ashley.
768
00:34:42,580 --> 00:34:45,516
Well, that warning
goes double for you.
769
00:34:45,583 --> 00:34:47,785
You understand?
770
00:34:47,852 --> 00:34:50,721
>> Jack: Who the hell are you to
give me orders in
771
00:34:50,788 --> 00:34:53,724
my house about my sister?
772
00:34:53,791 --> 00:34:57,829
>> Tucker: Have you forgotten
what I'm capable of, Jack?
773
00:34:57,895 --> 00:35:00,865
You're gonna back off Ashley.
774
00:35:00,932 --> 00:35:05,436
You do not wanna
make me your enemy.
775
00:35:07,438 --> 00:35:09,207
>> Nick: Sharon,
it's not kind of weird.
776
00:35:09,273 --> 00:35:10,875
It's definitely weird.
777
00:35:10,942 --> 00:35:15,980
Who sends an expensive bottle of
champagne like that anonymously?
778
00:35:16,047 --> 00:35:19,150
>> Sharon: Well, I'd be
a shame to waste it.
779
00:35:19,217 --> 00:35:21,519
>> Nick: I mean, most
wine stores would have some kind
780
00:35:21,586 --> 00:35:22,687
of label or address.
781
00:35:22,753 --> 00:35:25,022
Maybe it fell off in
transit or maybe somebody
782
00:35:25,089 --> 00:35:27,592
at the store just forgot
to slap the sticker on it.
783
00:35:27,658 --> 00:35:29,527
I mean, you probably have
nothing to worry about,
784
00:35:29,594 --> 00:35:31,829
but if I were you, I would err
on the side of caution.
785
00:35:31,896 --> 00:35:35,967
>> Sharon: It was kinda cute
when I first got it and now,
786
00:35:36,033 --> 00:35:38,769
something seems weird about it.
787
00:35:38,836 --> 00:35:40,938
>> Nick: Could it possibly
be the bloodstain?
788
00:35:41,005 --> 00:35:42,940
>> Sharon: You said it was wine!
789
00:35:43,007 --> 00:35:43,875
>> Nick: It is. It is.
790
00:35:43,941 --> 00:35:45,776
Or it's paint. I don't know.
791
00:35:45,843 --> 00:35:46,944
Just go with your gut.
792
00:35:47,011 --> 00:35:50,615
The thing is, if it really
bothers you, just get rid of it.
793
00:35:50,681 --> 00:35:52,650
Good luck. I gotta go.
794
00:35:52,717 --> 00:35:53,518
Thanks for the coffee.
795
00:35:53,584 --> 00:35:54,952
>> Sharon: All right. See ya.
