was perfect.

for Jabot's new co-CEO.
And I am sorry that the mood was
4
00:00:12,545 --> 00:00:15,615
temporarily spoiled by Tucker.
>> Diane: Oh, already forgotten.
5
00:00:15,682 --> 00:00:18,985
So the only thing better than
a night out with you is this,
6
00:00:19,052 --> 00:00:22,322
working side by side
with my husband, my son.
7
00:00:22,389 --> 00:00:24,457
We're really lucky.

Oh, you're here already.

on a weeknight.

Kidding, but since I was
up at dawn, I figured
13
00:00:42,542 --> 00:00:44,911
why not get a start on the day?
>> Jack: Hey, been
14
00:00:44,978 --> 00:00:47,480

an item now?
>> Nate: Why do you ask?

>> Tucker: Oh, you seem
pretty cozy up in her suite.
20
00:01:16,876 --> 00:01:21,714
I saw the sparkle in her eyes.
She may have said something.

But if Audra and I are

that's none of your business.

It's just that she and I

called me last night.
And told me that there was

00:02:36,556 --> 00:02:43,663

how many people survived.

to hope she is burning

>> Victoria: And Claire.

anything about her whereabouts.

Don't know if she
was a victim of that fire.

that in that massive chaos

someone could have escaped.

could be dead,

You've said so yourself

And a part of me regrets this.
62
00:04:19,325 --> 00:04:24,430
But given the circumstances,
I need to be selfish.
63

Even though I've told you
64
00:04:29,102 --> 00:04:33,339
many times, I am not a threat.
And I would never reveal

Newman Media alone,

the stress is going to be
a bigger burden,

Jordan woman as soon
as I heard about the fire.

that Jordan could be
77
00:05:25,858 --> 00:05:28,828
out there somewhere...
What does that mean for Mom

00:05:32,298 --> 00:05:36,069
and that is a big "if,"
do you really think
80
00:05:36,135 --> 00:05:37,804
she would risk showing her face
in Genoa City
81
00:05:37,870 --> 00:05:39,439
or going to the hospital?
>> Victor: Son,
82
00:05:39,505 --> 00:05:41,607
the woman is insane.
She has a vendetta against
83
00:05:41,674 --> 00:05:45,011
your mother and our family.
And unless we find out
84
00:05:45,078 --> 00:05:48,181
for sure that she
didn't survive that fire,

00:05:48,247 --> 00:05:50,950

please send some of your
security team to the hospital?

>> Victor: I already have.
>> Victoria: Good. Thank you.

I know Claire has been given
certain freedoms, and I would

00:05:59,058 --> 00:06:02,462
hate for this to-- to ruin that,
but I would prefer it
90
00:06:02,528 --> 00:06:04,063
if she doesn't know
that they're on the premises.
91
00:06:04,130 --> 00:06:07,533

so freaked out.

>> Victor: I got the call
about the fire
96
00:06:16,109 --> 00:06:20,813
when I was with your mother.
I decided not to tell her.
97
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:22,915
>> Victoria: That makes
a lot of sense.
98
00:06:22,982 --> 00:06:25,384
The last thing that she needs
right now is another threat
99

for very long.

00:06:29,255 --> 00:06:30,590
Eventually, she's gonna
find out.
102
00:06:30,656 --> 00:06:32,992
>> Victoria: Well, yes, we need
to get some answers as soon
103
00:06:33,059 --> 00:06:35,661
as possible, we don't want Mom
spinning over this.

>> Victor: Now I hate
to tell you this,
105
00:06:37,997 --> 00:06:42,335
but there was some stress
added to your mother.

After she fired Audra Charles.
>> Nick: Fired her? Why?
107
00:06:46,539 --> 00:06:47,874
>> Victoria: When did
this happen?
108
00:06:47,940 --> 00:06:49,942
>> Victor: Because Audra Charles
found out about your
109
00:06:50,009 --> 00:06:52,678
mother's drinking,
and she offered her support,
110
00:06:52,745 --> 00:06:55,148
and your mother
didn't like that.
111
00:06:55,214 --> 00:06:57,750
>> Nick: Are you telling me
that Mom is running Newman Media
112
00:06:57,817 --> 00:07:00,052
single-handedly?
>> Victor: I think your mother
113
00:07:00,119 --> 00:07:01,721
can handle it, son.
>> Victoria: Yeah, sure.
114
00:07:01,788 --> 00:07:04,390
That's Mom, superwoman.
She can do anything,
115
00:07:04,457 --> 00:07:07,460
even when it's the last thing
that she needs.
116
00:07:07,527 --> 00:07:10,129
>> Victor: Look, all we can do
now is support her.
117
00:07:10,196 --> 00:07:14,066
>> Nick: And pray that Jordan
doesn't show up.
118
00:07:14,133 --> 00:07:17,203
>> Victor: Keep this news
from your mother.

well in hand, thank you.

We might have gotten off
to a rocky start,
126
00:07:46,199 --> 00:07:50,403
but your guidance has meant
a great deal to me.
127
00:07:50,469 --> 00:07:52,772

very generous of you.

You're no good for her, Tucker.

So if you care about Audra,
you'll let her go.

pretty far with my dead weight
around her neck.

Audra all this time
144
00:09:27,900 --> 00:09:33,239
because I understand her.
And she understands me.
145
00:09:33,306 --> 00:09:36,943
We understand each other.
That's why I know she's got
146
00:09:37,009 --> 00:09:41,180
something in the works,
something aimed at me.
147
00:09:41,247 --> 00:09:43,516
You know anything about it?
>> Nate: No clue.
148
00:09:43,582 --> 00:09:46,752
>> Tucker: No clue.
Her confidence
149
00:09:46,819 --> 00:09:53,526
is alluring, isn't it?
I have a sneaking suspicion
150
00:09:53,592 --> 00:09:56,629
that she thinks she can get
one over on me,
151
00:09:56,696 --> 00:09:59,498
and she would be very insulted
if I just let it slide.
152
00:09:59,565 --> 00:10:03,836
So please tell your friend--
or your lover or whatever
153
00:10:03,903 --> 00:10:06,505
the hell she is for you--
that I'm onto her.
154
00:10:06,572 --> 00:10:09,542
And if you're thinking
of throwing in with her

00:10:09,608 --> 00:10:14,313
in this little game,
as smart as you think you are,
156

you were here already,

need to run yourself ragged.

This is just plugging away.

in the past.
Need I remind you,
166
00:10:45,378 --> 00:10:48,314
you helped save Jabot
from Tucker McCall?
167
00:10:48,381 --> 00:10:50,282
Now in my book,
that makes you a star.
168
00:10:50,349 --> 00:10:53,019
You don't have to work
to impress your mother and I.
169

We're perfectly happy
with your love and loyalty.

your business experience.

You don't have anything
to prove to us, Kyle.
173
00:11:03,662 --> 00:11:07,133
>> Kyle: Maybe I have
something to prove to myself.
174
00:11:07,199 --> 00:11:11,337
I hope you don't mind,
but since I was here early,
175
00:11:11,404 --> 00:11:14,106
I decided to get a head start
on restructuring
176
00:11:14,173 --> 00:11:15,908
the intern program.
>> Jack: Oh!
177
00:11:15,975 --> 00:11:18,377
>> Kyle: You know,
defining the goals,
178
00:11:18,444 --> 00:11:20,613
restructuring the framework.
>> Diane: Already? Well, I was
179
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:22,348
going to work on this
this morning.
180
00:11:22,415 --> 00:11:24,483
>> Kyle: Well, there's a little
legal finessing that had to be
181
00:11:24,550 --> 00:11:27,053
done that I was already
familiar with.
182
00:11:27,119 --> 00:11:28,988
And now you don't have to
worry about it.
183
00:11:29,055 --> 00:11:32,525
>> Diane: I see, well,
thank you.
184
00:11:32,591 --> 00:11:37,563
>> Kyle: And I am late for
a meeting, so, I will catch up
185
00:11:37,630 --> 00:11:43,702
with the two of you later.
>> Jack: You know what?
186
00:11:43,769 --> 00:11:46,572
I think this is gonna work.
The three of us guiding Jabot
187
00:11:46,639 --> 00:11:52,845
to a bright new future.
>> Diane: Yeah, I'm not so sure
188
00:11:52,912 --> 00:11:54,713
Kyle's on board
with your vision.
189
00:11:54,780 --> 00:11:56,482
>> Jack: What do you mean?
Of course he is.
190
00:11:56,549 --> 00:11:58,417
You just heard him.
Ready to do the work,
191
00:11:58,484 --> 00:12:00,586
above and beyond.
He's totally committed.
192
00:12:00,653 --> 00:12:02,221
>> Diane: Yeah, he's saying
all the right things,
193
00:12:02,288 --> 00:12:05,458
but it's just, um--
Just the sense I'm getting,
194
00:12:05,524 --> 00:12:07,259
and I know his tells.
>> Jack: What are you
195
00:12:07,326 --> 00:12:08,627
talking about?
>> Diane: He's trying
196
00:12:08,694 --> 00:12:10,930
too hard, Jack.
He's disappointed
197
00:12:10,996 --> 00:12:13,766
that you didn't make him co-CEO.
>> Jack: He said himself
198
00:12:13,833 --> 00:12:16,435
he knows he's not ready.
>> Diane: For a job
199
00:12:16,502 --> 00:12:18,871
he already had?
And once again?
200
00:12:18,938 --> 00:12:20,906
>> Jack: I think the protective
side of you
201
00:12:20,973 --> 00:12:23,642
is overthinking this.
>> Diane: Uh, no, no, no, no.
202
00:12:23,709 --> 00:12:26,946
He wasn't trying to help me
with the intern project.
203
00:12:27,012 --> 00:12:29,815
It was his subtle way
of saying, "I can do this job,
204
00:12:29,882 --> 00:12:35,421
and I can do it better."
>> Nate: Your ego,
205
00:12:35,488 --> 00:12:39,792
the narcissism, astonishing.
>> Tucker: Isn't it?
206
00:12:39,859 --> 00:12:41,327
>> Nate: The world
doesn't revolve
207
00:12:41,393 --> 00:12:44,463
around you, Tucker.
>> Tucker: Mine does,
208
00:12:44,530 --> 00:12:48,601
just like yours does around you
and Audra's around her.
209
00:12:48,667 --> 00:12:50,402
That's how it works
for people like us.
210
00:12:50,469 --> 00:12:53,072
>> Nate: I'm nothing like you.
>> Tucker: Of course you are.
211
00:12:53,139 --> 00:12:56,942
You're just not as good at it.
You know what your weakness
212
00:12:57,009 --> 00:13:00,012
is, Nate?
You want so desperately
213
00:13:00,079 --> 00:13:03,849
to be liked.
For instance, I saw you sucking
214
00:13:03,916 --> 00:13:08,287
up to Devon last night, hoping,
begging for his approval.
215
00:13:08,354 --> 00:13:12,158
>> Nate: There it is.
You see, Devon and I,
216
00:13:12,224 --> 00:13:14,894
we're rebuilding
our relationship,
217
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:18,230
and we're in a good place.
And you can't stand
218
00:13:18,297 --> 00:13:24,136
to see that because your son
wants nothing to do with you.

221
00:13:31,677 --> 00:13:33,712

consider coming to work
222

What did you mean by "us"?
Have you forgiven me?

>> Audra: My God, you are just
235
00:14:17,489 --> 00:14:19,491
infuriating.
Would it kill you

It's our own special

different, you know?

252
00:15:26,258 --> 00:15:29,928
pulling for him.
I mean that, Adam is sharp
253
00:15:29,995 --> 00:15:33,032
and talented, I think he's
got a bright future,
254

and keep it together.

that pull between Adam and Sally
259

is still there,
and it probably always will be.

about Sally.
You can't like it

that she's still in the picture,
regardless of which brother
265
00:16:07,566 --> 00:16:10,069
she's with.
>> Victor: Suffice it to say,
266
00:16:10,135 --> 00:16:15,841
I've never fully trusted her.
Nor really liked her.
267

But maybe things have changed
for the better.

we can do is stay out of it.

Dad, I know that's not
your specialty,

not involving yourself
in something, but I truly
271
00:16:29,421 --> 00:16:33,258
believe that is our best chance
to keep Adam focused
272
00:16:33,325 --> 00:16:37,529
and on his best behavior.

is always going to
protect your son.

No matter how much you like
the job, no matter how good

you are at it,
some part of you is going to

Kyle the position."

323
00:19:08,947 --> 00:19:12,251
strategies, anything you like.
>> Nikki: I would love to, but
324
00:19:12,317 --> 00:19:15,387
the work pile on my desk
won't-- won't let me.
325
00:19:15,454 --> 00:19:20,559
So, listen, Jack,
do you think-- I-- I don't know,
326
00:19:20,626 --> 00:19:23,529
is this self-sabotage?
Is this a sign that I'm making
327
00:19:23,595 --> 00:19:26,064
terrible decisions?
>> Jack: Don't fall into that
328
00:19:26,131 --> 00:19:29,668
spiral of doubt.
Focus on work.
329
00:19:29,735 --> 00:19:32,671
One task at a time,
one hour at a time.
330
00:19:32,738 --> 00:19:35,941
Don't get freaked out by this.
>> Nikki: You're right.
331
00:19:36,008 --> 00:19:38,076
>> Jack: I know what you're
thinking-- that it's
332
00:19:38,143 --> 00:19:42,047
easier said than done.
>> Nikki: You know me so well.
333
00:19:42,114 --> 00:19:46,285
>> Jack: I know you can do this.
[ knocking on door ]
334

>> Nikki: Oh, my next
appointment is here, so, um,
335
00:19:49,021 --> 00:19:52,925
thank you for the advice.
>> Victoria: That's what I am?
336
00:19:52,991 --> 00:19:55,127
Your next appointment?
>> Nikki: Hi, darling.
337
00:19:55,193 --> 00:19:57,229
How are you?
>> Victoria: I heard that you
338
00:19:57,296 --> 00:20:01,133
let Audra go.
>> Nikki: Ah. News travels fast.
339
00:20:01,199 --> 00:20:03,035
>> Victoria: Dad told me and
Nicholas.
340
00:20:03,101 --> 00:20:06,138
Are you sure
that was a good idea?
341
00:20:06,204 --> 00:20:07,839
>> Nikki: Questioning my
judgment is not
342
00:20:07,906 --> 00:20:12,044
helpful, Victoria.
>> Victoria: I'm sorry.
343
00:20:12,110 --> 00:20:18,116
>> Nikki: No, no, I-- I'm sorry.
I-- I shouldn't have snapped.
344
00:20:18,183 --> 00:20:19,985
>> Victoria: All I meant
is that until
345
00:20:20,052 --> 00:20:22,354
you find a replacement,
your workload will be doubled.
346
00:20:22,421 --> 00:20:25,023
Are you sure that's safe
for you
347
00:20:25,090 --> 00:20:27,092
and for your sobriety?
348
00:20:32,864 --> 00:20:34,766
>> Nikki: Now you sound like
your father.
349
00:20:34,833 --> 00:20:37,970
I wish everybody would stop
hovering and worrying.
350
00:20:38,036 --> 00:20:40,105
I am fine.
>> Victoria: I'm allowed to be
351
00:20:40,172 --> 00:20:43,041
concerned, Mom.
>> Nikki: Yes, of course you
352
00:20:43,108 --> 00:20:46,578
are, but I can handle it.
You need to trust me on that.
353
00:20:46,645 --> 00:20:49,281
And besides, the more work
I have, the better off I'll be.
354
00:20:49,348 --> 00:20:51,049
>> Victoria: I know how strong
you can be under
355
00:20:51,116 --> 00:20:53,218
normal circumstances.
>> Nikki: There are no normal
356
00:20:53,285 --> 00:20:57,189
circumstances for an alcoholic.
But I have won this battle
357
00:20:57,255 --> 00:20:59,491
before, and I will do it again.
>> Victoria: Yes, I know you
358
00:20:59,558 --> 00:21:01,960
will, and I'd like to help you.
Let me step in as interim COO
359
00:21:02,027 --> 00:21:03,662
and take some of
the pressure off.
360
00:21:03,729 --> 00:21:07,065
>> Nikki: Darling, I would love
to work with you again,
361
00:21:07,132 --> 00:21:09,334
but if there is anyone
who is dealing
362
00:21:09,401 --> 00:21:12,437
with out of the ordinary
circumstances, it's you.
363
00:21:12,504 --> 00:21:14,840
You stepped away from Newman
so that you could
364
00:21:14,906 --> 00:21:18,610
help Claire get healthy.
I'm not gonna take that away
365
00:21:18,677 --> 00:21:21,546
from you.
It's too important.
366
00:21:21,613 --> 00:21:24,583
How is she doing?
>> Victoria: She's doing better.
367
00:21:24,650 --> 00:21:29,454
She's-- she seems much more open
and o-- optimistic.
368
00:21:29,521 --> 00:21:31,657
I know she still has
a long way to go, and there
369
00:21:31,723 --> 00:21:34,593
are gonna be some more bumps
along the way, but Cole and I
370
00:21:34,660 --> 00:21:37,195
are very hopeful that there
might be a miracle here.
371
00:21:37,262 --> 00:21:39,231
>> Nikki: Well, I'm happy for
all three of you.
372
00:21:39,297 --> 00:21:42,267
>> Victoria: And I would be
happy to help you, Mom, please.
373
00:21:42,334 --> 00:21:44,970
Let me look at my schedule.
I can make it work.
374
00:21:45,037 --> 00:21:48,540
>> Nikki: Absolutely not.
[ Nikki scoffs ]
375
00:21:48,607 --> 00:21:52,044
Hard work is not something
foreign to me. I'll be fine.
376
00:21:52,110 --> 00:21:56,081
>> Victoria: Are you sure?
>> Nikki: Not only am I sure,
377
00:21:56,148 --> 00:21:59,251
but I have a conference call
in a couple of minutes,
378
00:21:59,317 --> 00:22:05,891
and I've got to prep for it, so
I am officially kicking you out.
379
00:22:05,957 --> 00:22:10,362
>> Victoria: All right.
I love you.
380
00:22:10,429 --> 00:22:14,232
>> Nikki: I love you.
>> Victoria: If you
381
00:22:14,299 --> 00:22:18,003
need anything--
>> Nikki: I know who to call.
382
00:22:18,070 --> 00:22:31,049
>> Victoria: All right.
>> Diane: I don't need you
383
00:22:31,116 --> 00:22:33,518
to pick up my slack.
>> Kyle: Wha-- That-- that's not
384
00:22:33,585 --> 00:22:35,721
what I was doing at all.
>> Diane: Well, are you sure?
385
00:22:35,787 --> 00:22:37,689
Because it kind of feels like
you're worried that I'm not
386
00:22:37,756 --> 00:22:40,125
ready to take on this position.
>> Kyle: I was the one who
387
00:22:40,192 --> 00:22:41,993
suggested the co-CEO position
before Dad even
388
00:22:42,060 --> 00:22:43,929
offered it to you.
>> Diane: Uh, yes, and now that
389
00:22:43,995 --> 00:22:46,565
he has and I've accepted it,
you've gone into overdrive.
390
00:22:46,631 --> 00:22:48,800
You're-- you're taking over
projects that I am
391
00:22:48,867 --> 00:22:51,770
perfectly capable of managing.
>> Kyle: Okay, Mom, I was just
392
00:22:51,837 --> 00:22:54,606
trying to help.
>> Diane: Maybe. Or maybe,
393
00:22:54,673 --> 00:22:58,110
subconsciously, you're trying
to say that you could be doing
394
00:22:58,176 --> 00:23:01,880
my job and maybe even better.
>> Kyle: Hey, if my actions
395
00:23:01,947 --> 00:23:05,851
have upset you, I'm sorry.
I'll back off.
396

[ Diane scoffs ]
>> Diane: And now I've
397
00:23:07,519 --> 00:23:09,354
upset you.
>> Kyle: No, not-- not at all.
398
00:23:09,421 --> 00:23:11,556
Mom, we're good.
As family and working together,
399
00:23:11,623 --> 00:23:14,059
we have to be honest
with each other.
400
00:23:14,126 --> 00:23:17,629
>> Diane: Then I can honestly
say that I'm proud of you.
401
00:23:17,696 --> 00:23:20,932
And I'm excited that
we'll be working as a team.
402
00:23:20,999 --> 00:23:23,101
>> Kyle: Exactly the way I feel.
>> Diane: All right.
403
00:23:23,168 --> 00:23:24,903
[ Diane laughs ]
Well, it's like your father
404
00:23:24,970 --> 00:23:27,372
says, we're going to do
great things together.
405
00:23:27,439 --> 00:23:29,608
>> Kyle: Mm-hmm.
>> Diane: Okay.
406
00:23:29,674 --> 00:23:36,081
>> Kyle: See you.
>> Audra: I'm not plotting
407
00:23:36,148 --> 00:23:39,251
anything, Tucker.
>> Tucker: Sure. Whatever you
408
00:23:39,317 --> 00:23:41,620
say, Audra.
>> Audra: My God, your ego
409
00:23:41,686 --> 00:23:44,956
is relentless.
I'm not planning anything
410
00:23:45,023 --> 00:23:48,126
against you.
Now, we've accomplished some
411
00:23:48,193 --> 00:23:53,799
amazing things together,
and I've learned a lot from you.
412
00:23:53,865 --> 00:23:56,067
And I'd love to learn more.
[ Tucker laughs ]
413
00:23:56,134 --> 00:23:58,503
>> Tucker: You're laying it on
a little thick.
414
00:23:58,570 --> 00:24:00,839
>> Audra: Oh. Yeah, that's
because you're being dramatic
415
00:24:00,906 --> 00:24:05,043
and ridiculous, and honesty
wasn't getting through to you.
416
00:24:05,110 --> 00:24:09,314
But can we just move on already?
We're a team again, and
417
00:24:09,381 --> 00:24:13,351
I'd just like to get started.
Taking Glissade to the top
418
00:24:13,418 --> 00:24:16,855
with you is all I want.
>> Tucker: It's also your only
419
00:24:16,922 --> 00:24:21,126
option since you quit
Newman Media.
420
00:24:21,193 --> 00:24:24,162
>> Audra: Okay, can-- Are we
done with this topic?
421
00:24:24,229 --> 00:24:26,264
Because it's dangerously
close to boring me,
422
00:24:26,331 --> 00:24:29,234
and you hate to be boring.
>> Tucker: Whatever you
423
00:24:29,301 --> 00:24:33,738
say, Audra.
>> Audra: You really don't
424
00:24:33,805 --> 00:24:39,044
trust me?
>> Tucker: Should I?
425
00:24:39,110 --> 00:24:42,747
I'll see you around.
You look good in this. Keep it.
426

[ Audra sighs ]
>> Nate: Good morning.
427
00:25:03,068 --> 00:25:05,203
[ Audra sighs ]
>> Nate: Good morning.
428
00:25:05,270 --> 00:25:07,873
>> Audra: What was that
between you and Tucker?
429
00:25:07,939 --> 00:25:11,843
>> Nate: You know,
just Tucker being Tucker.
430
00:25:11,910 --> 00:25:14,613
Please tell me that your
conversation was you telling him
431
00:25:14,679 --> 00:25:17,382
to stay the hell away from you.
And that you are
432
00:25:17,449 --> 00:25:23,121
perfectly happy at Newman Media.
>> Audra: Mm. I can't do that.
433
00:25:23,188 --> 00:25:27,859
>> Nate: Why?
>> Audra: Because I resigned.
434
00:25:30,695 --> 00:25:34,199
>> Nate: Hmm.
Something must have gone
435
00:25:34,266 --> 00:25:38,003
very wrong for you
to lie to my face.
436
00:25:43,608 --> 00:25:46,211
>> Nate: You didn't quit,
did you?
437
00:25:46,278 --> 00:25:50,582
Nikki fired you.
>> Audra: In a way, but
438
00:25:50,649 --> 00:25:53,118
splitting hairs.
I'm out of a job either way.
439
00:25:53,184 --> 00:25:55,954
>> Nate: Mm. And you failed to
mention it last night.
440
00:25:56,021 --> 00:25:59,291
>> Audra: Well, I wasn't
in the mood.
441
00:25:59,357 --> 00:26:01,826
Look, I told you,
Nikki's drinking wasn't going to
442
00:26:01,893 --> 00:26:05,130
end well for me, and it didn't.
You know, she had the nerve to
443
00:26:05,196 --> 00:26:08,233
offer me a position heading up
Newman Media's office in London.
444
00:26:08,300 --> 00:26:10,468
As if it was
some kind of reward.
445
00:26:10,535 --> 00:26:13,705
>> Nate: Isn't it?
>> Audra: It was exile.
446
00:26:13,772 --> 00:26:16,207
You know, you break all of your
own rules about showing
447
00:26:16,274 --> 00:26:19,010
even an ounce of vulnerability.
You-- you try to be nice,
448
00:26:19,077 --> 00:26:23,114
understand them, support them,
and all it does is bite you.
449
00:26:23,181 --> 00:26:25,517
Everything I did was
to help her, and all she saw me
450
00:26:25,583 --> 00:26:28,019
was as a threat.
>> Nate: And she hadn't
451
00:26:28,086 --> 00:26:32,090
been drinking?
>> Audra: In that moment,
452
00:26:32,157 --> 00:26:35,293
she was absolutely sober.
I mean, the rest of the day,
453
00:26:35,360 --> 00:26:39,097
who knows?
But the way she did it.
454
00:26:39,164 --> 00:26:42,267
Just waving her recovery
as an excuse.
455
00:26:42,334 --> 00:26:44,769
And of course, she reminded me
of the NDA I signed
456
00:26:44,836 --> 00:26:46,738
because she's terrified that
I'm going to spill her secret,
457
00:26:46,805 --> 00:26:52,410
which I would never do.
>> Nate: All right. I'm sorry.
458
00:26:52,477 --> 00:26:56,548
Well, it's a loss for her
and for the company.
459
00:26:56,614 --> 00:26:59,351
>> Audra: Yeah, well,
I guess at least I'm free
460
00:26:59,417 --> 00:27:03,455
of the Newmans
and their insular little world
461
00:27:03,521 --> 00:27:06,758
where blood is the only thing
that matters.
462
00:27:06,825 --> 00:27:10,795
You know, I should have learned
after what they did to you.
463
00:27:10,862 --> 00:27:13,098
I-- You know,
can you believe that?
464
00:27:13,164 --> 00:27:15,533
When Victor found out that Nikki
fired me, he wanted to make it
465
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:18,136
up to me by offering me
some random position at Newman
466
00:27:18,203 --> 00:27:22,007
as if I would waste my time.
>> Nate: Okay, so now
467
00:27:22,073 --> 00:27:24,509
you're a free agent
with a stellar resume.
468
00:27:24,576 --> 00:27:26,544
I hope you're going to use it
more wisely than
469
00:27:26,611 --> 00:27:29,948
trying to take Tucker down
from the inside at Glissade.
470
00:27:30,015 --> 00:27:33,518
He's already suspicious.
>> Audra: Yeah, because in his
471
00:27:33,585 --> 00:27:35,820
mind, he thinks that
everyone is obsessed with him
472
00:27:35,887 --> 00:27:38,289
and out to get him.
>> Nate: Because you actually
473
00:27:38,356 --> 00:27:43,094
are out to get him.
Which I understand.
474
00:27:43,161 --> 00:27:45,196
You want the world and would
do anything to get it.
475
00:27:45,263 --> 00:27:49,200
But screwing with Tucker,
that is not the way.
476
00:27:49,267 --> 00:27:52,103
So please tell me you thought
about what I said
477
00:27:52,170 --> 00:27:54,172
and changed your mind about
going after Tucker.
478
00:27:54,239 --> 00:27:57,208
>> Audra: Your advice
registered.
479
00:27:57,275 --> 00:28:01,146
It's a spectacularly bad idea.
Way too risky,
480
00:28:01,212 --> 00:28:04,716
so backing off would be
the smart thing to do.
481
00:28:04,783 --> 00:28:06,851
>> Nate: Why don't I
believe you?
482
00:28:06,918 --> 00:28:08,653
>> Audra: Oh, I didn't say
I agreed.
483
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:12,824
Just that it registered.
>> Nate: Audra, Tucker hurt you.
484
00:28:12,891 --> 00:28:16,561
He let you down too many times,
so you want to gut him.
485
00:28:16,628 --> 00:28:19,397
But you are too close to this.
I-- it is too personal.
486
00:28:19,464 --> 00:28:23,468
Tucker will use that,
and he will play you.
487
00:28:23,535 --> 00:28:26,037
And you'll never get a chance
to hijack Glissade
488
00:28:26,104 --> 00:28:28,406
out from under him.
If anything, you'll be the one
489
00:28:28,473 --> 00:28:30,241
who suffers, and I don't
want to see that happen.
490
00:28:30,308 --> 00:28:32,610
>> Audra: Then have a little
faith that I can do this.
491
00:28:32,677 --> 00:28:36,781
>> Nate: My God.
As brilliant as you are,
492
00:28:36,848 --> 00:28:38,950
if you go through with this,
you're setting yourself up
493
00:28:39,017 --> 00:28:44,155
for a massive fall.
>> Nick: All right, so that's on
494
00:28:44,222 --> 00:28:47,425
the books-- dinner with
the state's attorney general.
495
00:28:47,492 --> 00:28:50,795
>> Victor: Okay.
Son, I can handle that
496
00:28:50,862 --> 00:28:53,064
if you're not available.
>> Nick: I'll take care of it,
497
00:28:53,131 --> 00:28:56,868
Dad, you've got plenty
on your plate.
498
00:28:56,935 --> 00:28:59,971
>> Victor: But, son, so do you.
You have a child at home.
499
00:29:00,038 --> 00:29:03,174
You have a full-time job here.
When do you have time
500
00:29:03,241 --> 00:29:06,377
for your personal life?
>> Nick: I have a personal life.
501
00:29:06,444 --> 00:29:08,113
I'm good.
>> Victor: Son, I'm a little
502
00:29:08,179 --> 00:29:10,248
older than you are, and I can
tell you that it's very
503
00:29:10,315 --> 00:29:13,718
important to have someone
in your life that you...
504
00:29:13,785 --> 00:29:17,322
can lean on, you know?
In happy times and bad times.
505
00:29:17,388 --> 00:29:22,260
>> Nick: Well, not everyone
can be as lucky as you and Mom.
506
00:29:22,327 --> 00:29:26,731
But honestly, I'm fine.
I'm where I want to be.
507
00:29:26,798 --> 00:29:29,334
I'm working with you.
I'm doing everything I can
508
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:33,171
to make Newman the best
possible place it can be.
509
00:29:33,238 --> 00:29:37,075
>> Victor: I'm glad to hear
that, my boy.
510
00:29:37,142 --> 00:29:41,713
And I want you to know how happy
it makes me that
511
00:29:41,779 --> 00:29:46,050
we're working together, okay?
Means a lot to me.
512
00:29:46,117 --> 00:29:51,256
>> Nick: Me, too.
>> Cole: Morning.
513
00:29:51,322 --> 00:29:53,758
>> Victoria: Hi.
>> Cole: Hey. Is there news?
514
00:29:53,825 --> 00:29:55,393
Is that why you called?
>> Victoria: There's-- there's
515
00:29:55,460 --> 00:29:57,729
been a fire.
A fire at the prison
516
00:29:57,795 --> 00:30:00,431
where Jordan's being held.
>> Cole: What?
517
00:30:00,498 --> 00:30:02,800
>> Victoria: Yes, it's a--
It was fairly large fire.
518
00:30:02,867 --> 00:30:05,270
So, some people were trapped
and-- and killed, and there's
519
00:30:05,336 --> 00:30:07,572
a possibility that some of
the prisoners may have escaped.
520
00:30:07,639 --> 00:30:09,307
>> Cole: Wait, do we know
anything about Jordan?
521
00:30:09,374 --> 00:30:11,042
Is she alive? Is she dead?
Did she escape?
522
00:30:11,109 --> 00:30:12,744
>> Victoria: There's no clue
yet, there's nothing.
523
00:30:12,810 --> 00:30:14,879
The information is coming in
very slowly, but my father's
524
00:30:14,946 --> 00:30:17,348
security team is on top of it.
>> Cole: Well, let's just hope
525
00:30:17,415 --> 00:30:21,085
that she's behind bars.
Or-- You know what?
526
00:30:21,152 --> 00:30:23,755
I hate to say it, but
the world would be a safer place
527
00:30:23,821 --> 00:30:26,057
if she was no longer in it.
>> Victoria: But we have to
528
00:30:26,124 --> 00:30:28,927
assume that if Jordan is alive,
there's a very good possibility
529
00:30:28,993 --> 00:30:31,629
that she's headed this way.
>> Cole: Your mother
530
00:30:31,696 --> 00:30:34,732
must be terrified.
>> Victoria: She doesn't know.
531
00:30:34,799 --> 00:30:37,268
At least not yet.
And I really, really hope
532
00:30:37,335 --> 00:30:40,338
she doesn't find out.
Cole, I just came
533
00:30:40,405 --> 00:30:42,173
from seeing her,
and she's really struggling.
534
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:45,443
She fired her COO and
she's taken over Newman Media.
535
00:30:45,510 --> 00:30:47,645
She says that she can handle it,
but she's obviously
536
00:30:47,712 --> 00:30:50,048
so stressed out.
And her sobriety
537
00:30:50,114 --> 00:30:53,484
is just-- it's fragile.
So, finding out the news
538
00:30:53,551 --> 00:30:55,753
that Jordan could be out there,
along with everything else
539
00:30:55,820 --> 00:30:59,057
that she's dealing with,
I'm just afraid it's too much.
540
00:30:59,123 --> 00:31:03,127
>> Cole: I'm so sorry, Vic.
Claire. Does she know?
541
00:31:03,194 --> 00:31:05,997
>> Victoria: I hate the idea of
her being afraid that Jordan
542
00:31:06,064 --> 00:31:08,800
could get to her again.
Her nightmares
543
00:31:08,866 --> 00:31:12,003
have finally just stopped.
Now it-- This is truly
544
00:31:12,070 --> 00:31:14,138
the last thing that she needs.
>> Cole: Well, we're just not
545
00:31:14,205 --> 00:31:16,107
gonna tell her. Not yet.
I mean, not until we have
546
00:31:16,174 --> 00:31:18,209
all of the facts.
>> Victoria: But what if--
547
00:31:18,276 --> 00:31:21,045
>> Cole: We-- we can circle
around the what-ifs for hours.
548
00:31:21,112 --> 00:31:24,716
That's not going to help us
or anyone else.
549
00:31:24,782 --> 00:31:27,085
>> Victoria: You're right.
>> Cole: And the chances of
550
00:31:27,151 --> 00:31:31,489
Jordan actually having escaped
during this fire
551
00:31:31,556 --> 00:31:36,294
are very slim.
So we stay positive.
552

[ knocking on door ]
>> Jack: Come in.
553
00:31:45,169 --> 00:31:46,871
>> Kyle: Dad, you got
a second?
554
00:31:46,938 --> 00:31:54,779
>> Jack: Absolutely. Come on in.
>> Kyle: Um, I need
555
00:31:54,846 --> 00:32:00,218
a reality check.
Did I overstep with Mom?
556
00:32:00,285 --> 00:32:03,254
>> Jack: She spoke to you then?
>> Kyle: And she very politely
557
00:32:03,321 --> 00:32:05,723
accused me of being
passive-aggressive. No.
558
00:32:05,790 --> 00:32:09,193
All I'm trying to do is help.
>> Jack: Understood. Um,
559
00:32:09,260 --> 00:32:12,864
I think her concern is more
about her own insecurity
560
00:32:12,930 --> 00:32:15,133
than any genuine belief
that you would try
561
00:32:15,199 --> 00:32:18,936
to show her up.
You wouldn't do that, right?
562
00:32:23,675 --> 00:32:27,912
>> Kyle: Look, we both know that
this is a new arena for her.
563
00:32:27,979 --> 00:32:31,316
It's going to require a certain
amount of stamina and insight.
564
00:32:31,382 --> 00:32:33,418
I think there is nothing wrong
with me offering
565
00:32:33,484 --> 00:32:35,920
a helping hand while
she develops into the role.
566
00:32:35,987 --> 00:32:38,723
>> Jack: I appreciate
your concern.
567
00:32:38,790 --> 00:32:41,426
But you're trying to help her
in the wrong way.
568
00:32:41,492 --> 00:32:45,463
She is perfectly capable of
developing into the role
569
00:32:45,530 --> 00:32:49,867
all by herself.
>> Kyle: Got it.
570
00:32:49,934 --> 00:32:55,239
Like I told Mom, I'll back off.
I know my place.
571
00:32:57,575 --> 00:32:59,677
>> Audra: If you're so worried
about me,
572
00:32:59,744 --> 00:33:04,015
take me up on my offer.
Join me against Tucker
573
00:33:04,082 --> 00:33:05,917
for fun and profit.
How can you resist?
574
00:33:05,983 --> 00:33:08,486
>> Nate: Nope.
I already told you, I'm not
575
00:33:08,553 --> 00:33:11,456
getting dragged into this.
There is no amount of fun or
576
00:33:11,522 --> 00:33:15,493
profit that makes messing with
Tucker worth it.
577
00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:18,329
>> Audra: So you're happy at the
family company warming
578
00:33:18,396 --> 00:33:20,264
the bench, huh?
>> Nate: Mm-hmm.
579
00:33:20,331 --> 00:33:24,035
>> Audra: Not taking a real shot
at something bigger and better.
580
00:33:24,102 --> 00:33:26,437
You know, you used to be
so much braver
581
00:33:26,504 --> 00:33:31,109
and much more interesting.
>> Nate: Mm. Audra, you're good.
582
00:33:31,175 --> 00:33:34,679
No argument.
But it's a mistake to think
583
00:33:34,746 --> 00:33:38,816
that you can go against Tucker
and win.
584
00:33:38,883 --> 00:33:40,618
>> Audra: Thanks for
your support.
585
00:33:40,685 --> 00:33:43,154
>> Nate: Only because I care
about you.
586
00:33:43,221 --> 00:33:45,823
>> Audra: Then stop
underestimating me.
587
00:33:45,890 --> 00:33:48,593
Like the Newmans and the Abbotts
and Tucker and Kyle
588
00:33:48,659 --> 00:33:53,731
and everyone else in this town.
You don't want in? Fine.
589
00:33:53,798 --> 00:33:56,934
Now, sit on the sidelines with
your advice and your concern
590
00:33:57,001 --> 00:34:01,406
and watch me pull this off
and land on top where I belong.
591
00:34:04,075 --> 00:34:06,310
>> Victoria: I've already spun
a dozen different scenarios
592
00:34:06,377 --> 00:34:09,647
about Jordan escaping and
what it would do to my mom
593
00:34:09,714 --> 00:34:12,049
and to Claire.
Oh, my God.
594
00:34:12,116 --> 00:34:16,821
None of them are good.
How do you stay so calm?
595
00:34:16,888 --> 00:34:19,690
>> Cole: I just work
with the facts.
596
00:34:19,757 --> 00:34:23,327
Nikki and Claire are protected.
Victor's team and the cops
597
00:34:23,394 --> 00:34:26,431
are on top of it.
And we have beaten Jordan
598
00:34:26,497 --> 00:34:30,935
so far.
So just stay on track.
599
00:34:31,002 --> 00:34:34,172
>> Victoria: This must be
so difficult for you.
600
00:34:34,238 --> 00:34:38,709
Dealing with a lifetime
of madness in your family.
601
00:34:38,776 --> 00:34:41,612
>> Cole: It's humbling.
Thinking I'd gotten away
602
00:34:41,679 --> 00:34:45,349
from it,
and I'm right back in it again.
603
00:34:45,416 --> 00:34:50,221
Not to mention the victims.
And that includes Claire.
604
00:34:50,288 --> 00:34:53,024
She didn't inherit my mother
and aunt's insanity.
605
00:34:53,090 --> 00:34:56,093
But she got twisted into knots.
And honestly, she
606
00:34:56,160 --> 00:35:00,498
might have stayed that way,
but she met you.
607
00:35:00,565 --> 00:35:06,003
And I can see in her
she has a lot more of you
608
00:35:06,070 --> 00:35:10,675
than she does me.
That's my sign
609
00:35:10,741 --> 00:35:13,478
that Claire is going to be okay
one day.
610
00:35:17,081 --> 00:35:19,917
>> Victoria: You know,
there's no bad in you.

00:35:19,984 --> 00:35:31,028
