1
00:00:05,004 --> 00:00:06,039
>> Chelsea: Well, thank you for
2
00:00:06,106 --> 00:00:06,973
the update, Dr. Hammond.
3
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:08,942
We're feeling very encouraged.
4
00:00:09,008 --> 00:00:11,611
Yeah, thank you so much.
5
00:00:11,678 --> 00:00:13,747
[ both sighing ]
6
00:00:13,813 --> 00:00:15,749
Adam, it feels like
7
00:00:15,815 --> 00:00:16,616
it's really happening.
8
00:00:16,683 --> 00:00:18,251
Wow, Connor's getting better,
9
00:00:18,318 --> 00:00:19,786
stronger.
10
00:00:19,853 --> 00:00:21,187
>> Adam: Yeah, every time
11
00:00:21,254 --> 00:00:22,188
the doctors want to do
12
00:00:22,255 --> 00:00:23,423
a video call, I'm terrified
13
00:00:23,490 --> 00:00:24,524
that he's relapsed.
14
00:00:24,591 --> 00:00:26,393
But this, not only that he's
15
00:00:26,459 --> 00:00:27,460
holding steady, but he's
16
00:00:27,527 --> 00:00:29,462
actually making progress?
17
00:00:29,529 --> 00:00:30,830
I mean, everything that I said
18
00:00:30,897 --> 00:00:31,931
about this-- believing in this
19
00:00:31,998 --> 00:00:33,133
place and the doctors,
20
00:00:33,199 --> 00:00:34,901
I take it all back.
21
00:00:34,968 --> 00:00:36,136
It feels like it's actually
22
00:00:36,202 --> 00:00:37,504
okay to hope.
23
00:00:37,570 --> 00:00:39,339
>> Chelsea: Yeah.
24
00:00:39,406 --> 00:00:42,542
So, why don't you look happier?
25
00:00:42,609 --> 00:00:44,377
What's going on?
26
00:00:44,444 --> 00:00:45,345
>> Adam: Nothing.
27
00:00:45,412 --> 00:00:46,546
>> Chelsea: You do know how well
28
00:00:46,613 --> 00:00:49,549
I know you, right?
29
00:00:49,616 --> 00:00:50,650
>> Adam: Look, it's nothing
30
00:00:50,717 --> 00:00:54,154
about Connor.
31
00:00:54,220 --> 00:00:55,321
>> Chelsea: It's because of us,
32
00:00:55,388 --> 00:00:57,390
isn't it?
33
00:00:57,457 --> 00:00:59,526
What happened in Baltimore?
34
00:00:59,592 --> 00:01:01,428
>> Nick: Vic, hey.
35
00:01:01,494 --> 00:01:02,228
>> Victoria: Hi.
36
00:01:02,295 --> 00:01:03,129
>> Nick: What are you
37
00:01:03,196 --> 00:01:03,830
doing here?
38
00:01:03,897 --> 00:01:04,864
I thought you'd be hanging out
39
00:01:04,931 --> 00:01:05,899
with Katie and Johnny all day.
40
00:01:05,965 --> 00:01:06,800
>> Victoria: Well, you know,
41
00:01:06,866 --> 00:01:09,369
between pool parties, friends,
42
00:01:09,436 --> 00:01:11,638
barbecues, hanging out with Mom
43
00:01:11,704 --> 00:01:13,706
is not high on the list.
44
00:01:13,773 --> 00:01:14,841
>> Nick: Got it.
45
00:01:14,908 --> 00:01:15,742
How are they doing? Are
46
00:01:15,809 --> 00:01:17,177
they, uh, getting settled in?
47
00:01:17,243 --> 00:01:18,311
Have they taken to Claire?
48
00:01:18,378 --> 00:01:20,413
>> Victoria: Uh, well,
49
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:22,182
it was a little rocky at first.
50
00:01:22,248 --> 00:01:23,283
Johnny's fine.
51
00:01:23,349 --> 00:01:24,250
I mean, he thinks that
52
00:01:24,317 --> 00:01:27,220
Claire's great, but Katie, um,
53
00:01:27,287 --> 00:01:28,421
well, I guess the terrible
54
00:01:28,488 --> 00:01:30,623
tweens is definitely a thing.
55
00:01:30,690 --> 00:01:32,692
She was so rude and dramatic,
56
00:01:32,759 --> 00:01:33,726
you'd think that the whole
57
00:01:33,793 --> 00:01:34,627
world was ending because she
58
00:01:34,694 --> 00:01:36,162
had a new sister.
59
00:01:36,229 --> 00:01:37,630
>> Nick: It's been a big change
60
00:01:37,697 --> 00:01:38,698
to the family dynamic.
61
00:01:38,765 --> 00:01:39,799
They might see it
62
00:01:39,866 --> 00:01:40,900
as threatening.
63
00:01:40,967 --> 00:01:42,368
>> Victoria: Well, thankfully,
64
00:01:42,435 --> 00:01:43,670
Claire worked her magic
65
00:01:43,736 --> 00:01:44,971
and I don't want to jinx things,
66
00:01:45,038 --> 00:01:46,172
but I think that Katie has
67
00:01:46,239 --> 00:01:47,073
decided that having
68
00:01:47,140 --> 00:01:47,941
a big sister is actually
69
00:01:48,007 --> 00:01:48,608
kind of cool.
70
00:01:48,675 --> 00:01:49,776
>> Nick: Hey, I like
71
00:01:49,843 --> 00:01:50,844
hearing that.
72
00:01:50,910 --> 00:01:51,945
>> Victoria: Yeah, so how--
73
00:01:52,011 --> 00:01:53,112
how are you doing?
74
00:01:53,179 --> 00:01:54,280
How are things with Faith?
75
00:01:54,347 --> 00:01:56,149
>> Nick: Uh, a blur when I ever
76
00:01:56,216 --> 00:01:58,751
actually get to see her, so just
77
00:01:58,818 --> 00:01:59,652
spending a lot of time
78
00:01:59,719 --> 00:02:00,787
at the office.
79
00:02:00,854 --> 00:02:02,021
But it feels like I'm just sort
80
00:02:02,088 --> 00:02:04,190
of treading water until Dad
81
00:02:04,257 --> 00:02:05,692
finishes his latest reshuffling
82
00:02:05,758 --> 00:02:06,793
of the deck.
83
00:02:06,860 --> 00:02:07,694
>> Victoria: Have you talked
84
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:08,394
to Adam?
85
00:02:08,461 --> 00:02:10,129
Has he decided if he wants to
86
00:02:10,196 --> 00:02:11,564
head up Newman Media or not?
87
00:02:11,631 --> 00:02:13,366
>> Nick: Not that I know of.
88
00:02:13,433 --> 00:02:14,767
>> Victoria: Oh, so he's just
89
00:02:14,834 --> 00:02:15,935
making us all wait while
90
00:02:16,002 --> 00:02:17,003
he weighs his decision
91
00:02:17,070 --> 00:02:18,171
and strokes his ego.
92
00:02:18,238 --> 00:02:19,072
That's very Adam.
93
00:02:19,138 --> 00:02:20,273
>> Nick: Vic, come on.
94
00:02:20,340 --> 00:02:21,608
Adam's got a lot on his mind
95
00:02:21,674 --> 00:02:22,375
right now.
96
00:02:22,442 --> 00:02:24,310
>> Victoria: Oh, I'm sorry.
97
00:02:24,377 --> 00:02:25,612
You're right. I--
98
00:02:25,678 --> 00:02:27,013
I know that Connor's going
99
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:28,047
through a lot, and my heart
100
00:02:28,114 --> 00:02:29,082
goes out to him. And Adam
101
00:02:29,148 --> 00:02:31,017
and Chelsea.
102
00:02:31,084 --> 00:02:32,519
The good news is, is that Billy
103
00:02:32,585 --> 00:02:33,353
says that Connor's actually
104
00:02:33,419 --> 00:02:34,487
turned a corner.
105
00:02:34,554 --> 00:02:35,855
>> Nick: Yeah, Connor's on
106
00:02:35,922 --> 00:02:36,589
the right track.
107
00:02:36,656 --> 00:02:37,624
Mom's doing well with her
108
00:02:37,690 --> 00:02:39,559
outpatient rehab.
109
00:02:39,626 --> 00:02:42,161
Feels like we can maybe relax
110
00:02:42,228 --> 00:02:43,096
a little bit?
111
00:02:43,162 --> 00:02:44,764
>> Victoria: Yeah, except for
112
00:02:44,831 --> 00:02:45,965
our father constantly pulling
113
00:02:46,032 --> 00:02:46,633
the rug out
114
00:02:46,699 --> 00:02:47,300
from underneath us.
115
00:02:47,367 --> 00:02:48,401
>> Nick: I swear to you,
116
00:02:48,468 --> 00:02:49,769
he likes to create chaos once
117
00:02:49,836 --> 00:02:50,837
in a while just to remind
118
00:02:50,904 --> 00:02:53,039
everyone that he, and only he,
119
00:02:53,106 --> 00:02:54,107
is in charge.
120
00:02:54,173 --> 00:02:55,074
>> Victoria: Well, you better
121
00:02:55,141 --> 00:02:56,276
brace yourself, because it's
122
00:02:56,342 --> 00:02:58,478
about to happen again.
123
00:02:58,545 --> 00:02:59,345
>> Audra: Glissade,
124
00:02:59,412 --> 00:03:01,781
a company to watch.
125
00:03:01,848 --> 00:03:03,550
Front and center.
126
00:03:03,616 --> 00:03:06,352
And this is just the beginning.
127
00:03:06,419 --> 00:03:07,754
>> Nate: You are definitely
128
00:03:07,820 --> 00:03:09,789
worth watching.
129
00:03:09,856 --> 00:03:11,124
>> Audra: Nate.
130
00:03:11,190 --> 00:03:12,292
>> Nate: I'm speaking in
131
00:03:12,358 --> 00:03:13,326
business terms, of course.
132
00:03:13,393 --> 00:03:16,663
Come on.
133
00:03:16,729 --> 00:03:17,830
Although, last night
134
00:03:17,897 --> 00:03:21,367
was... incredible.
135
00:03:21,434 --> 00:03:22,869
Hey, I'm talking about watching
136
00:03:22,936 --> 00:03:24,837
the sunset with you.
137
00:03:24,904 --> 00:03:26,739
You remember the-- the lights,
138
00:03:26,806 --> 00:03:29,242
the-- the color, uh,
139
00:03:29,309 --> 00:03:30,610
the summer air?
140
00:03:30,677 --> 00:03:32,612
What did you think I meant?
141
00:03:32,679 --> 00:03:35,782
>> Audra: Yeah, very funny.
142
00:03:35,848 --> 00:03:37,216
Okay, yeah, okay.
143
00:03:37,283 --> 00:03:40,320
Um, last night,
144
00:03:40,386 --> 00:03:42,589
it was incredible.
145
00:03:42,655 --> 00:03:44,057
>> Nate: Mm-hmm.
146
00:03:44,123 --> 00:03:45,024
>> Audra: But that doesn't
147
00:03:45,091 --> 00:03:45,792
mean that--
148
00:03:45,858 --> 00:03:46,859
>> Nate: I know, I know.
149
00:03:46,926 --> 00:03:48,795
Nothing serious. Fun and done.
150
00:03:48,861 --> 00:03:50,263
Although, I am hoping
151
00:03:50,330 --> 00:03:51,364
I'm allowed to lobby for
152
00:03:51,431 --> 00:03:55,635
more fun in our future.
153
00:03:55,702 --> 00:03:56,869
>> Audra: Well, as long as you
154
00:03:56,936 --> 00:03:58,905
understand the ground rules,
155
00:03:58,972 --> 00:03:59,939
I don't see why
156
00:04:00,006 --> 00:04:00,940
that can't happen.

00:04:41,981 --> 00:04:43,583
wanna ride in together?
165
00:04:43,650 --> 00:04:44,817
>> Diane: Oh, no, I have
166
00:04:44,884 --> 00:04:45,785
some meetings outside
167
00:04:45,852 --> 00:04:46,819
the office, so I'll just take
168
00:04:46,886 --> 00:04:47,487
my own car.
169
00:04:47,553 --> 00:04:48,621

172
00:04:51,257 --> 00:04:52,592
the office yet.
173
00:04:52,659 --> 00:04:53,593
Getting a late start,
174
00:04:53,660 --> 00:04:54,327
aren't you?
175
00:04:54,394 --> 00:04:55,361
>> Jack: Don't you have
176
00:04:55,428 --> 00:04:56,429
an office to get to yourself?
177
00:04:56,496 --> 00:04:57,363
>> Kyle: No, I have
178
00:04:57,430 --> 00:04:58,264
a few interviews.
179
00:04:58,331 --> 00:04:59,666
I can do those from here.
180
00:04:59,732 --> 00:05:01,768
>> Diane: That media blitz.
181
00:05:01,834 --> 00:05:02,902
Glissade has certainly
182
00:05:02,969 --> 00:05:04,203
generated a lot of interest.
183
00:05:04,270 --> 00:05:05,505
You better ride that hype
184
00:05:05,571 --> 00:05:06,305
while you can.
185
00:05:06,372 --> 00:05:07,373
>> Kyle: Oh, all that hype
186
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,777
in the press, it's not bluster.
187
00:05:10,843 --> 00:05:12,045
Glissade is off to a roaring
188
00:05:12,111 --> 00:05:13,279
start, and I couldn't be more
189
00:05:13,346 --> 00:05:14,480
excited about it.
190
00:05:14,547 --> 00:05:15,748

191
00:05:15,815 --> 00:05:16,949
heading up a new company,
192
00:05:17,016 --> 00:05:18,151
or because you think
193
00:05:18,217 --> 00:05:19,185
you found a way
194
00:05:19,252 --> 00:05:20,787
to get back at us?
195
00:05:20,853 --> 00:05:22,755
>> Kyle: And there you go again,
196
00:05:22,822 --> 00:05:24,057
making my new career path
197
00:05:24,123 --> 00:05:25,358
all about you.
198
00:05:25,425 --> 00:05:26,793
>> Diane: No, but I do have
199
00:05:26,859 --> 00:05:27,827
a question.
200
00:05:27,894 --> 00:05:29,796
Why are you heading up
201
00:05:29,862 --> 00:05:31,197
a second-rate business
202
00:05:31,264 --> 00:05:33,099
just to hurt your father and me?
203
00:05:41,908 --> 00:05:43,509
>> Victor: Well, good morning.
204
00:05:43,576 --> 00:05:45,078
>> Audra: Oh, Mr. Newman.
205
00:05:45,144 --> 00:05:46,946
It's a beautiful day, isn't it?
206
00:05:47,013 --> 00:05:48,314
>> Victor: Yes, it is indeed.
207
00:05:48,381 --> 00:05:49,248
>> Nate: Victor.
208
00:05:49,315 --> 00:05:50,650
>> Victor: Hello, Nate.
209
00:05:50,717 --> 00:05:53,152
So, I just read this article
210
00:05:53,219 --> 00:05:55,354
about Glissade being
211
00:05:55,421 --> 00:05:57,123
the company to watch.
212
00:05:57,190 --> 00:05:59,258
My goodness, congratulations.
213
00:05:59,325 --> 00:06:00,126
>> Audra: Thank you.
214
00:06:00,193 --> 00:06:01,994
>> Victor: It's a hell of a feat
215
00:06:02,061 --> 00:06:03,563
to wrest a company like Glissade
216
00:06:03,629 --> 00:06:06,499
away from Tucker McCall.
217
00:06:06,566 --> 00:06:08,034
Very good.
218
00:06:08,101 --> 00:06:09,368
>> Audra: Yeah, I-- I just
219
00:06:09,435 --> 00:06:10,236
did my homework.
220
00:06:10,303 --> 00:06:12,805
>> Victor: Yeah. Huh. You know,
221
00:06:12,872 --> 00:06:14,707
always nice to see people who
222
00:06:14,774 --> 00:06:16,142
are high on the horse
223
00:06:16,209 --> 00:06:17,744
get their comeuppance.
224
00:06:17,810 --> 00:06:21,547
Anyway, good job.
225
00:06:21,614 --> 00:06:22,615
>> Audra: Thank you so much.
226
00:06:22,682 --> 00:06:24,217
>> Victor: Well, I'm sure with
227
00:06:24,283 --> 00:06:25,284
your talent and skill,
228
00:06:25,351 --> 00:06:26,519
it'll be in no time
229
00:06:26,586 --> 00:06:28,154
that Glissade will blow Jabot
230
00:06:28,221 --> 00:06:30,223
out of the water.
231
00:06:30,289 --> 00:06:32,658
And while you're at it,
232
00:06:32,725 --> 00:06:33,760
take Jack Abbott down
233
00:06:33,826 --> 00:06:35,428
with you, right?
234
00:06:35,495 --> 00:06:36,729
>> Audra: That is definitely
235
00:06:36,796 --> 00:06:37,563
on the to-do list.
236
00:06:37,630 --> 00:06:39,098
>> Victor: Good.
237
00:06:39,165 --> 00:06:40,867
Enjoy your breakfast.
238
00:06:40,933 --> 00:06:42,068
>> Audra: Thank you.
239
00:06:46,439 --> 00:06:49,275
>> Nate: Um, you want to tell me
240
00:06:49,342 --> 00:06:50,576
what that was about?
241
00:06:53,412 --> 00:06:56,682
>> Adam: Chels,
242
00:06:56,749 --> 00:06:59,218
Baltimore was Baltimore.
243
00:06:59,285 --> 00:07:00,820
I mean, we agreed we may have
244
00:07:00,887 --> 00:07:01,954
needed each other that night,
245
00:07:02,021 --> 00:07:03,356
but it-- it was
246
00:07:03,422 --> 00:07:05,324
a one-time thing. It's never
247
00:07:05,391 --> 00:07:06,092
going to happen again.
248
00:07:06,159 --> 00:07:07,326
We are as committed to Billy
249
00:07:07,393 --> 00:07:09,128
and Sally as ever.
250
00:07:09,195 --> 00:07:14,300
So nothing changes.
251
00:07:14,367 --> 00:07:16,602
>> Chelsea: How do you do that?
252
00:07:16,669 --> 00:07:18,704
Put that night into a nice,
253
00:07:18,771 --> 00:07:20,673
neat little box, lock it up,
254
00:07:20,740 --> 00:07:22,208
and forget about it?
255
00:07:22,275 --> 00:07:23,676
At that lunch with Billy and
256
00:07:23,743 --> 00:07:24,877
Sally, I thought I was going to
257
00:07:24,944 --> 00:07:25,745
do something.
258
00:07:25,812 --> 00:07:28,681
Say something.
259
00:07:28,748 --> 00:07:30,483
Oh, oh, and after my meeting
260
00:07:30,550 --> 00:07:31,784
with Summer, Sally wanted to
261
00:07:31,851 --> 00:07:33,052
talk to me.
262
00:07:33,119 --> 00:07:34,420
I was convinced she knew
263
00:07:34,487 --> 00:07:35,721
something, and the nicer
264
00:07:35,788 --> 00:07:36,656
she was to me,
265
00:07:36,722 --> 00:07:39,258
then the more guilty I felt.
266
00:07:39,325 --> 00:07:41,127
I almost told her.
267
00:07:41,194 --> 00:07:41,928
>> Adam: What?
268
00:07:41,994 --> 00:07:42,829
>> Chelsea: But I didn't.
269
00:07:42,895 --> 00:07:45,097
But it's-- it's this guilt.
270
00:07:45,164 --> 00:07:46,098
>> Adam: Okay.
271
00:07:46,165 --> 00:07:49,569
Chelsea, you have to stop,
272
00:07:49,635 --> 00:07:51,404
all right?
273
00:07:51,470 --> 00:07:52,605
What happened,
274
00:07:52,672 --> 00:07:53,873
we didn't plan it.
275
00:07:53,940 --> 00:07:55,374
We-- we didn't set out
276
00:07:55,441 --> 00:07:56,709
to hurt them.
277
00:07:56,776 --> 00:07:58,211
And we won't, because they
278
00:07:58,277 --> 00:07:59,445
never need to know.
279
00:07:59,512 --> 00:08:01,080
>> Chelsea: You're right.
280
00:08:01,147 --> 00:08:02,415
I know it's better for everyone
281
00:08:02,481 --> 00:08:03,482
if we just pretend like it
282
00:08:03,549 --> 00:08:04,650
never happened.
283
00:08:04,717 --> 00:08:06,085
We have to focus on Connor.
284
00:08:06,152 --> 00:08:07,320
What's next for him?
285
00:08:07,386 --> 00:08:08,588
>> Adam: Yes, exactly.
286
00:08:08,654 --> 00:08:09,889
>> Chelsea: I mean, it's easier
287
00:08:09,956 --> 00:08:12,225
said than done, but I will try.
288
00:08:12,291 --> 00:08:13,326
>> Adam: Everything is going to
289
00:08:13,392 --> 00:08:16,996
be fine. You'll see.
290
00:08:17,063 --> 00:08:18,297
Although, what's ahead for me,
291
00:08:18,364 --> 00:08:20,399
I'm not so sure about.
292
00:08:20,466 --> 00:08:21,500
>> Chelsea: What do you mean?
293
00:08:21,567 --> 00:08:22,568
What's going on?
294
00:08:22,635 --> 00:08:26,239
[ Adam sighing ]
295
00:08:26,305 --> 00:08:28,774
>> Adam: Victor has proposed
296
00:08:28,841 --> 00:08:29,709
that I step in
297
00:08:29,775 --> 00:08:30,810
and run Newman Media.
298
00:08:30,877 --> 00:08:31,577
>> Chelsea: Oh, God.
299
00:08:31,644 --> 00:08:33,179
That's a terrible idea.
300
00:08:33,246 --> 00:08:34,347
>> Adam: Well, thank you for
301
00:08:34,413 --> 00:08:35,081
the vote of confidence.
302
00:08:35,147 --> 00:08:36,115
>> Chelsea: No, that's not what
303
00:08:36,182 --> 00:08:36,849
I mean. It's just,
304
00:08:36,916 --> 00:08:37,650
every time you work
305
00:08:37,717 --> 00:08:38,651
with Victor, he knows how
306
00:08:38,718 --> 00:08:39,619
to push all your buttons.
307
00:08:39,685 --> 00:08:40,987
He-- he pushes buttons that you
308
00:08:41,053 --> 00:08:41,921
didn't even know you had.
309
00:08:41,988 --> 00:08:43,122
>> Adam: Yeah, I knew that
310
00:08:43,189 --> 00:08:43,990
you would understand.
311
00:08:44,056 --> 00:08:44,891
>> Chelsea: I do.
312
00:08:44,957 --> 00:08:47,493
So, turn him down.
313
00:08:47,560 --> 00:08:48,561
>> Adam: Well, it's not like
314
00:08:48,628 --> 00:08:49,629
he's given me much room to
315
00:08:49,695 --> 00:08:50,763
say anything other than yes.
316
00:08:50,830 --> 00:08:51,797
>> Chelsea: Adam, you always
317
00:08:51,864 --> 00:08:54,333
have a choice.
318
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:55,234
>> Adam: Hm.
319
00:08:55,301 --> 00:08:56,869
>> Chelsea: Oh, unless part of
320
00:08:56,936 --> 00:08:58,604
you wants the job.
321
00:08:58,671 --> 00:09:00,306
Newman Media was always your
322
00:09:00,373 --> 00:09:02,875
baby, so I'm sure the idea of
323
00:09:02,942 --> 00:09:04,677
this is quite appealing.
324
00:09:04,744 --> 00:09:07,980
>> Adam: Yeah, it-- it is.
325
00:09:08,047 --> 00:09:09,849
>> Chelsea: But?
326
00:09:09,916 --> 00:09:11,050
>> Adam: You know my dad.
327
00:09:11,117 --> 00:09:14,887
He's always working the angles.
328
00:09:14,954 --> 00:09:18,291
He claims that he wants me to
329
00:09:18,357 --> 00:09:19,625
run Newman Media specifically
330
00:09:19,692 --> 00:09:20,860
to boost another company's
331
00:09:20,927 --> 00:09:22,561
chances in the marketplace.
332
00:09:22,628 --> 00:09:23,529
>> Chelsea: And you think
333
00:09:23,596 --> 00:09:24,931
there's more to it than that?
334
00:09:24,997 --> 00:09:26,065
>> Adam: I mean, isn't there
335
00:09:26,132 --> 00:09:28,801
always with my dad?
336
00:09:28,868 --> 00:09:30,236
Look, I can't get into the
337
00:09:30,303 --> 00:09:33,072
details, but he's definitely
338
00:09:33,139 --> 00:09:34,774
playing games.
339
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:36,008
And he's gunning for someone
340
00:09:36,075 --> 00:09:38,444
I care about.
341
00:09:38,511 --> 00:09:39,645
>> Kyle: Oh, I think we've
342
00:09:39,712 --> 00:09:41,113
already established you think I
343
00:09:41,180 --> 00:09:43,649
am that petty, that I would
344
00:09:43,716 --> 00:09:45,718
choose a new career path merely
345
00:09:45,785 --> 00:09:47,353
as a ploy to punish you.
346
00:09:47,420 --> 00:09:48,554
>> Diane: Because I do think
347
00:09:48,621 --> 00:09:49,722
you're that angry.
348
00:09:49,789 --> 00:09:51,290
>> Kyle: First off, Glissade is
349
00:09:51,357 --> 00:09:52,692
just getting off the ground.
350
00:09:52,758 --> 00:09:54,360
We have a lot of work to do, so
351
00:09:54,427 --> 00:09:55,661
we won't be a second-rate
352
00:09:55,728 --> 00:09:57,296
company for long.
353
00:09:57,363 --> 00:09:59,498
I have big plans, and I have
354
00:09:59,565 --> 00:10:00,967
the drive and experience to
355
00:10:01,033 --> 00:10:02,234
make them a reality.
356
00:10:02,301 --> 00:10:03,169
>> Jack: No one doubts
357
00:10:03,235 --> 00:10:04,070
your talent, son.
358
00:10:04,136 --> 00:10:05,438
>> Kyle: Said the man who stood
359
00:10:05,504 --> 00:10:07,974
by and let my mother fire me.
360
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:08,841
>> Diane: Kyle!
361
00:10:08,908 --> 00:10:10,076
>> Kyle: Aren't parents supposed
362
00:10:10,142 --> 00:10:11,677
to be thrilled when
363
00:10:11,744 --> 00:10:13,079
their children fly off
364
00:10:13,145 --> 00:10:14,647
and succeed on their own?
365
00:10:14,714 --> 00:10:16,682
Although, I think we can pretty
366
00:10:16,749 --> 00:10:18,184
much agree that I was pushed
367
00:10:18,250 --> 00:10:19,118
out of the damn nest.
368
00:10:19,185 --> 00:10:20,453
>> Jack: That was never
369
00:10:20,519 --> 00:10:21,754
our intention.
370
00:10:21,821 --> 00:10:22,788
>> Kyle: Hold on, it's-- it's
371
00:10:22,855 --> 00:10:24,423
all for the best, isn't it?
372
00:10:24,490 --> 00:10:25,691
I mean, what better way to
373
00:10:25,758 --> 00:10:27,760
prove my value than to go off
374
00:10:27,827 --> 00:10:29,395
and do it on my own terms, free
375
00:10:29,462 --> 00:10:31,664
from my father's coattails and
376
00:10:31,731 --> 00:10:32,765
family business.
377
00:10:32,832 --> 00:10:34,066
>> Diane: How many times do
378
00:10:34,133 --> 00:10:35,034
we have to tell you?
379
00:10:35,101 --> 00:10:36,602
You don't need to prove your
380
00:10:36,669 --> 00:10:39,105
worth to us, or to anyone else.
381
00:10:39,171 --> 00:10:41,040
We know exactly how valuable
382
00:10:41,107 --> 00:10:42,575
you are to this family and to
383
00:10:42,641 --> 00:10:43,576
the family company.
384
00:10:43,642 --> 00:10:44,810
>> Kyle: Yeah, you can say that
385
00:10:44,877 --> 00:10:46,078
as many times as you want, Mom,
386
00:10:46,145 --> 00:10:47,480
but your actions still kind of
387
00:10:47,546 --> 00:10:48,848
prove otherwise.
388
00:10:48,914 --> 00:10:50,082
>> Jack: You know what, Kyle?
389
00:10:50,149 --> 00:10:52,351
You're absolutely right.
390
00:10:52,418 --> 00:10:54,120
This is your chance to shine on
391
00:10:54,186 --> 00:10:56,622
your own terms, and it takes
392
00:10:56,689 --> 00:10:57,523
a great deal of courage
393
00:10:57,590 --> 00:10:58,290
to make that leap.
394
00:10:58,357 --> 00:11:00,459
So, I wish you nothing
395
00:11:00,526 --> 00:11:01,894
but success.
396
00:11:01,961 --> 00:11:04,296
You ready to go to the office?
397
00:11:04,363 --> 00:11:06,065
>> Diane: I am.
398
00:11:10,970 --> 00:11:14,373
Kyle, good luck.
399
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:17,276
I love you, I believe in you,
400
00:11:17,343 --> 00:11:18,244
and I--
401
00:11:18,310 --> 00:11:19,412
I hope this is everything
402
00:11:19,478 --> 00:11:21,180
you've been looking for.
403
00:11:30,790 --> 00:11:31,924
[ door closing ]
404
00:11:37,163 --> 00:11:38,597
>> Audra: What was what about?
405
00:11:38,664 --> 00:11:40,833
>> Nate: Uh, that vibe.
406
00:11:40,900 --> 00:11:43,736
It came through loud and clear.
407
00:11:43,803 --> 00:11:44,804
>> Audra: Victor was just
408
00:11:44,870 --> 00:11:46,238
congratulating me.
409
00:11:46,305 --> 00:11:47,640
What's the big deal?
410
00:11:47,706 --> 00:11:49,575
>> Nate: It was almost as though
411
00:11:49,642 --> 00:11:51,377
he was goading you.
412
00:11:51,444 --> 00:11:54,046
>> Audra: You sure it was me?
413
00:11:54,113 --> 00:11:55,548
You're the only one at this
414
00:11:55,614 --> 00:11:56,782
table who tried to ship him to
415
00:11:56,849 --> 00:11:58,350
an institution when
416
00:11:58,417 --> 00:11:59,185
you were at Newman.
417
00:11:59,251 --> 00:11:59,919
>> Nate: That was
418
00:11:59,985 --> 00:12:01,187
a misunderstanding.
419
00:12:01,253 --> 00:12:02,755
>> Audra: And you tried to screw
420
00:12:02,822 --> 00:12:04,156
over Devon and Lily,
421
00:12:04,223 --> 00:12:05,825
and everyone knows how much
422
00:12:05,891 --> 00:12:07,259
Victor loves Devon.
423
00:12:07,326 --> 00:12:08,661
>> Nate: I own that,
424
00:12:08,727 --> 00:12:09,595
and that was a long
425
00:12:09,662 --> 00:12:11,197
time ago, Audra.
426
00:12:11,263 --> 00:12:13,399
Devon and Lily have moved on,
427
00:12:13,466 --> 00:12:14,400
and we're in
428
00:12:14,467 --> 00:12:15,701
a much better place.
429
00:12:15,768 --> 00:12:16,902
You would think someone like
430
00:12:16,969 --> 00:12:18,404
Victor Newman would be too busy
431
00:12:18,471 --> 00:12:19,839
to hold onto a grudge.
432
00:12:19,905 --> 00:12:21,340
>> Audra: Well, some people hold
433
00:12:21,407 --> 00:12:24,176
onto grudges longer than others.
434
00:12:24,243 --> 00:12:25,845
For Victor, it's practically
435
00:12:25,911 --> 00:12:26,579
an art form.
436
00:12:26,645 --> 00:12:27,780
>> Nate: And some people have an
437
00:12:27,847 --> 00:12:28,981
ulterior motive for every word
438
00:12:29,048 --> 00:12:30,883
that comes out of their mouth.
439
00:12:30,950 --> 00:12:31,884
>> Audra: What's that supposed
440
00:12:31,951 --> 00:12:33,752
to mean?
441
00:12:33,819 --> 00:12:34,920
>> Nate: Victor was saying
442
00:12:34,987 --> 00:12:35,955
a whole lot more than
443
00:12:36,021 --> 00:12:36,856
good morning and
444
00:12:36,922 --> 00:12:38,724
congratulations, Audra.
445
00:12:38,791 --> 00:12:39,825
>> Audra: You're looking for
446
00:12:39,892 --> 00:12:41,327
trouble where there isn't any.
447
00:12:41,393 --> 00:12:43,762
>> Nate: I have to wonder.
448
00:12:43,829 --> 00:12:46,232
The feud between Victor and
449
00:12:46,298 --> 00:12:49,468
Jack Abbott is legendary.
450
00:12:49,535 --> 00:12:51,003
And Victor would like nothing
451
00:12:51,070 --> 00:12:52,238
more than to see Jack crushed
452
00:12:52,304 --> 00:12:54,974
by the competition.
453
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:56,509
And what better way for that to
454
00:12:56,575 --> 00:13:00,279
happen than for Victor to fund
455
00:13:00,346 --> 00:13:02,481
the competition?
456
00:13:02,548 --> 00:13:03,782
You know, if I didn't know any
457
00:13:03,849 --> 00:13:07,119
better, I'd almost suspect that
458
00:13:07,186 --> 00:13:08,654
Victor was the secret investor
459
00:13:08,721 --> 00:13:10,890
in Glissade.
460
00:13:10,956 --> 00:13:12,191
>> Audra: Well, good thing
461
00:13:12,258 --> 00:13:13,726
you know better.
462
00:13:20,933 --> 00:13:22,134
>> Nick: Am I going to need
463
00:13:22,201 --> 00:13:23,302
something stronger than this tea
464
00:13:23,369 --> 00:13:24,236
before you hit me with
465
00:13:24,303 --> 00:13:25,137
this news?
466
00:13:25,204 --> 00:13:26,405
>> Victoria: Well, I hope that
467
00:13:26,472 --> 00:13:29,275
this won't be that hard to take.
468
00:13:29,341 --> 00:13:30,376
I've decided to return to
469
00:13:30,442 --> 00:13:31,644
Newman Enterprises.
470
00:13:31,710 --> 00:13:32,545
>> Nick: Yes!
471
00:13:32,611 --> 00:13:33,412
I love it.
472
00:13:33,479 --> 00:13:34,480
I thought you were dead set
473
00:13:34,547 --> 00:13:35,848
against that. What did Dad say
474
00:13:35,915 --> 00:13:36,615
to convince you?
475
00:13:36,682 --> 00:13:37,650
>> Victoria: Uh, convince is not
476
00:13:37,716 --> 00:13:39,285
the word that I would use.
477
00:13:39,351 --> 00:13:40,619
You know how he, you know,
478
00:13:40,686 --> 00:13:42,254
how he does that thing.
479
00:13:42,321 --> 00:13:43,556
>> Nick: Oh, yeah.
480
00:13:43,622 --> 00:13:44,957
He says you're indispensable,
481
00:13:45,024 --> 00:13:46,225
and that you're the only one
482
00:13:46,292 --> 00:13:47,459
he can count on. Mm-hmm.
483
00:13:47,526 --> 00:13:48,861
>> Victoria: Yeah. I've lobbied
484
00:13:48,928 --> 00:13:50,462
so hard to help Mom
485
00:13:50,529 --> 00:13:52,998
at Newman Media, but Dad
486
00:13:53,065 --> 00:13:54,466
said that it was either Newman
487
00:13:54,533 --> 00:13:57,570
Enterprises or nothing else.
488
00:13:57,636 --> 00:14:00,272
>> Nick: Well, Dad wants Adam
489
00:14:00,339 --> 00:14:01,607
to have Mom's job. Period.
490
00:14:01,674 --> 00:14:02,808
>> Victoria: Yes, but Adam
491
00:14:02,875 --> 00:14:03,943
already has a spot.
492
00:14:04,009 --> 00:14:05,377
He works with you.
493
00:14:05,444 --> 00:14:07,446
And you know how much Mom, she
494
00:14:07,513 --> 00:14:08,881
loves heading up Newman Media.
495
00:14:08,948 --> 00:14:09,782
She loves it, and
496
00:14:09,848 --> 00:14:11,150
she wants to come back.
497
00:14:11,217 --> 00:14:12,785
>> Nick: Dad swears that this is
498
00:14:12,851 --> 00:14:14,320
about giving Mom the time
499
00:14:14,386 --> 00:14:15,521
she needs to recover,
500
00:14:15,588 --> 00:14:16,722
and there is some truth to that.
501
00:14:16,789 --> 00:14:18,357
But it's also about
502
00:14:18,424 --> 00:14:19,391
positioning Adam.
503
00:14:19,458 --> 00:14:20,960
>> Victoria: Exactly.
504
00:14:21,026 --> 00:14:22,361
Which is why I'm glad that Mom
505
00:14:22,428 --> 00:14:24,096
is still fighting Dad on this.
506
00:14:24,163 --> 00:14:24,997
Maybe she can somehow get
507
00:14:25,064 --> 00:14:25,864
through to him.
508
00:14:25,931 --> 00:14:28,100
>> Nick: Yeah, I don't know.
509
00:14:28,167 --> 00:14:29,835
I had a conversation with Mom.
510
00:14:29,902 --> 00:14:32,238
Um, she's never going to get
511
00:14:32,304 --> 00:14:33,472
what she wants from him.
512
00:14:33,539 --> 00:14:34,573
He's just going to
513
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:35,307
grind her down.
514
00:14:35,374 --> 00:14:36,575
He's going to grind us all down
515
00:14:36,642 --> 00:14:37,443
until we do his bidding,
516
00:14:37,509 --> 00:14:39,878
so I suggested maybe she stop
517
00:14:39,945 --> 00:14:40,879
fighting him on it.
518
00:14:40,946 --> 00:14:42,414
>> Victoria: Just give up?
519
00:14:42,481 --> 00:14:43,148
>> Nick: Mom had
520
00:14:43,215 --> 00:14:44,183
the same reaction.
521
00:14:44,250 --> 00:14:47,186
But fighting Dad is stress that
522
00:14:47,253 --> 00:14:48,053
she just doesn't need
523
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:49,221
right now, and it's not like
524
00:14:49,288 --> 00:14:50,389
she's ever going to
525
00:14:50,456 --> 00:14:52,124
change his mind, right?
526
00:14:52,191 --> 00:14:53,759
So, I think I persuaded her to
527
00:14:53,826 --> 00:14:56,161
just take a step back and focus
528
00:14:56,228 --> 00:14:57,796
on herself, and her sobriety,
529
00:14:57,863 --> 00:14:59,298
and maybe put a little more
530
00:14:59,365 --> 00:15:00,332
time in with her charity work
531
00:15:00,399 --> 00:15:01,333
that she loves.
532
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:02,701
Maybe hit up some of those pool
533
00:15:02,768 --> 00:15:04,036
parties with the grandkids.
534
00:15:04,103 --> 00:15:05,204
>> Victoria: Oh, I would love
535
00:15:05,271 --> 00:15:06,805
that for her.
536
00:15:06,872 --> 00:15:08,340
But I still can't figure out
537
00:15:08,407 --> 00:15:10,776
what Dad's endgame is with all
538
00:15:10,843 --> 00:15:12,311
of this maneuvering.
539
00:15:12,378 --> 00:15:13,679
>> Nick: No idea.
540
00:15:13,746 --> 00:15:15,447
But we both know
541
00:15:15,514 --> 00:15:17,383
Dad loves it this way.
542
00:15:17,449 --> 00:15:18,550
>> Victoria: But if Mom is
543
00:15:18,617 --> 00:15:19,752
backing down from the fight
544
00:15:19,818 --> 00:15:22,321
to stay at Newman Media,
545
00:15:22,388 --> 00:15:23,822
it leaves everything wide open
546
00:15:23,889 --> 00:15:26,358
for Adam to take over.
547
00:15:26,425 --> 00:15:30,329
>> Chelsea: Who is it?
548
00:15:30,396 --> 00:15:31,297
>> Adam: I'm not at
549
00:15:31,363 --> 00:15:32,031
liberty to say.
550
00:15:32,097 --> 00:15:33,299
>> Chelsea: Oh, Adam, please,
551
00:15:33,365 --> 00:15:34,533
sit this one out.
552
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:35,868
You and Nick are finally
553
00:15:35,934 --> 00:15:37,202
working well together.
554
00:15:37,269 --> 00:15:38,470
>> Adam: I mean, it's better
555
00:15:38,537 --> 00:15:39,605
than I ever imagined
556
00:15:39,672 --> 00:15:40,339
it could be.
557
00:15:40,406 --> 00:15:41,640
But even as solid as
558
00:15:41,707 --> 00:15:42,741
my partnership is with Nick, it
559
00:15:42,808 --> 00:15:44,743
could all change in a moment.
560
00:15:44,810 --> 00:15:45,744
You know how
561
00:15:45,811 --> 00:15:46,645
my family operates.
562
00:15:46,712 --> 00:15:47,880
And then I'll be on the outside
563
00:15:47,946 --> 00:15:49,348
looking in.
564
00:15:49,415 --> 00:15:50,549
At least at Newman Media,
565
00:15:50,616 --> 00:15:52,584
I'll have some autonomy.
566
00:15:52,651 --> 00:15:53,786
And that's--
567
00:15:53,852 --> 00:15:55,321
it's hard to say no to.
568
00:15:55,387 --> 00:15:56,488
>> Chelsea: But you can't
569
00:15:56,555 --> 00:15:57,523
possibly be okay
570
00:15:57,589 --> 00:15:58,590
with being a part of Victor's
571
00:15:58,657 --> 00:16:01,060
attack on a friend of yours.
572
00:16:01,126 --> 00:16:03,262
Can you?
573
00:16:03,329 --> 00:16:04,630
>> Jack: This morning did not
574
00:16:04,697 --> 00:16:05,531
get off to the start
575
00:16:05,597 --> 00:16:06,332
I had hoped.
576
00:16:06,398 --> 00:16:08,701
>> Diane: It certainly didn't.
577
00:16:08,767 --> 00:16:09,635
>> Jack: What's wrong?
578
00:16:09,702 --> 00:16:11,637
>> Diane: What you said to Kyle.
579
00:16:11,704 --> 00:16:13,172
You congratulated him.
580
00:16:13,238 --> 00:16:14,006
>> Jack: Well, wait.
581
00:16:14,073 --> 00:16:15,040
You followed my lead.
582
00:16:15,107 --> 00:16:16,141
>> Diane: Well, I didn't know
583
00:16:16,208 --> 00:16:17,009
what else to do.
584
00:16:17,076 --> 00:16:18,510
But Jack, it sounded like you
585
00:16:18,577 --> 00:16:19,712
were fine with our son
586
00:16:19,778 --> 00:16:20,913
basically cutting us out of his
587
00:16:20,979 --> 00:16:22,381
life and moving on.
588
00:16:22,448 --> 00:16:23,949
You practically gave him
589
00:16:24,016 --> 00:16:24,650
your blessing.
590
00:16:24,717 --> 00:16:25,884
>> Jack: I was trying to bring
591
00:16:25,951 --> 00:16:26,785
an end to this
592
00:16:26,852 --> 00:16:28,487
endless antagonism.
593
00:16:28,554 --> 00:16:29,722
Look, we've got to stop trying
594
00:16:29,788 --> 00:16:31,223
to make Kyle change his mind.
595
00:16:31,290 --> 00:16:32,291
>> Diane: Even if he's wrong?
596
00:16:32,358 --> 00:16:33,859
>> Jack: Even if he's wrong.
597
00:16:33,926 --> 00:16:34,993
The decision's been made.
598
00:16:35,060 --> 00:16:36,729
There's no fixing that.
599
00:16:36,795 --> 00:16:38,030
And maybe accepting his
600
00:16:38,097 --> 00:16:40,265
decision now will lead to a
601
00:16:40,332 --> 00:16:41,700
reconciliation in the future.
602
00:16:41,767 --> 00:16:44,436
Look, this is not my ideal, but
603
00:16:44,503 --> 00:16:45,838
I think we have to let Kyle do
604
00:16:45,904 --> 00:16:46,905
what Kyle's going to do.
605
00:16:46,972 --> 00:16:47,673
>> Diane: Compete with
606
00:16:47,740 --> 00:16:48,807
the family business?
607
00:16:48,874 --> 00:16:50,809
Move out with Harrison?
608
00:16:50,876 --> 00:16:52,077
>> Jack: I don't like this
609
00:16:52,144 --> 00:16:53,278
any better than you do.
610
00:16:53,345 --> 00:16:54,613
[ Diane sighing ]
611
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:56,148
But in any other circumstance,
612
00:16:56,215 --> 00:16:57,683
Kyle is right.
613
00:16:57,750 --> 00:16:59,118
We would be thrilled at his
614
00:16:59,184 --> 00:17:00,986
drive, his determination to
615
00:17:01,053 --> 00:17:02,221
create something new
616
00:17:02,287 --> 00:17:03,188
of his own.
617
00:17:03,255 --> 00:17:04,456
>> Diane: Yes, but in these
618
00:17:04,523 --> 00:17:06,792
circumstances, our son is using
619
00:17:06,859 --> 00:17:08,994
this move as a way to punish
620
00:17:09,061 --> 00:17:11,196
us, to get revenge.
621
00:17:11,263 --> 00:17:12,931
And I-- I can't pretend
622
00:17:12,998 --> 00:17:13,999
to support that.
623
00:17:14,066 --> 00:17:15,234
>> Jack: And yet the more we
624
00:17:15,300 --> 00:17:16,135
fight him, the more defiant
625
00:17:16,201 --> 00:17:16,969
he becomes,
626
00:17:17,035 --> 00:17:19,171
the more he digs his heels in.
627
00:17:19,238 --> 00:17:20,939
As difficult as it is, I think
628
00:17:21,006 --> 00:17:22,941
we have to back off.
629
00:17:23,008 --> 00:17:24,309
Completely.
630
00:17:31,383 --> 00:17:33,752
>> Chelsea: Well, sounds like
631
00:17:33,819 --> 00:17:34,453
you've already made
632
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:35,954
the decision.
633
00:17:36,021 --> 00:17:36,989
Also sounds like you're trying
634
00:17:37,055 --> 00:17:38,290
to convince yourself that it's
635
00:17:38,357 --> 00:17:39,558
okay to go through with this
636
00:17:39,625 --> 00:17:40,626
plan of your dad's to screw
637
00:17:40,692 --> 00:17:42,261
over your friend.
638
00:17:42,327 --> 00:17:43,495
>> Adam: I would like to think
639
00:17:43,562 --> 00:17:45,864
that I will be able to help him.
640
00:17:45,931 --> 00:17:47,032
Or her.
641
00:17:47,099 --> 00:17:50,068
And maybe, who knows,
642
00:17:50,135 --> 00:17:52,204
I can talk him out of it.
643
00:17:52,271 --> 00:17:53,172
>> Chelsea: You really think
644
00:17:53,238 --> 00:17:54,072
you're going to be able
645
00:17:54,139 --> 00:17:55,941
to do that?
646
00:17:56,008 --> 00:17:58,477
>> Adam: No.
647
00:17:58,544 --> 00:17:59,578
>> Chelsea: Adam, whatever
648
00:17:59,645 --> 00:18:03,949
you decide, just be careful.
649
00:18:04,016 --> 00:18:05,384
It never goes well
650
00:18:05,451 --> 00:18:06,151
with your father.
651
00:18:06,218 --> 00:18:07,052
Whenever you get tangled up
652
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:08,454
with him, you end up getting
653
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:11,356
hurt, spinning out.
654
00:18:11,423 --> 00:18:13,392
And I'm-- I'm begging you,
655
00:18:13,459 --> 00:18:14,726
I need you to stay stable
656
00:18:14,793 --> 00:18:16,295
right now for our son.
657
00:18:16,361 --> 00:18:18,397
>> Adam: Connor is at the top
658
00:18:18,464 --> 00:18:19,097
of my list.
659
00:18:19,164 --> 00:18:20,299
>> Chelsea: Okay, I know.
660
00:18:20,365 --> 00:18:22,434
So, really think this through.
661
00:18:22,501 --> 00:18:24,002
Because Victor requires
662
00:18:24,069 --> 00:18:26,171
complete loyalty.
663
00:18:26,238 --> 00:18:28,173
You know that.
664
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:29,942
So, if he finds out
665
00:18:30,008 --> 00:18:31,410
that you're trying to protect
666
00:18:31,477 --> 00:18:32,644
the person that he's hiring you
667
00:18:32,711 --> 00:18:34,980
to take down,
668
00:18:35,047 --> 00:18:36,682
it is a very risky game
669
00:18:36,748 --> 00:18:39,017
you're playing.
670
00:18:39,084 --> 00:18:41,386
>> Adam: With my father,
671
00:18:41,453 --> 00:18:44,289
it always is.
672
00:18:44,356 --> 00:18:45,591
>> Audra: You know, all this
673
00:18:45,657 --> 00:18:47,926
paranoia and conspiracy, maybe
674
00:18:47,993 --> 00:18:49,995
you need another cup of oolong.
675
00:18:50,062 --> 00:18:50,963
>> Nate: Look, I'm just
676
00:18:51,029 --> 00:18:51,997
connecting the dots here.
677
00:18:52,064 --> 00:18:53,632
And it's not out of the question
678
00:18:53,699 --> 00:18:54,800
that they could lead
679
00:18:54,867 --> 00:18:56,802
to Victor being the financial
680
00:18:56,869 --> 00:18:58,237
backer at Glissade.
681
00:18:58,303 --> 00:18:59,705
>> Audra: Okay, well, you need
682
00:18:59,771 --> 00:19:01,907
to find some other dots.
683
00:19:01,974 --> 00:19:03,775
I worked for Victor when I ran
684
00:19:03,842 --> 00:19:05,010
Newman Media.
685
00:19:05,077 --> 00:19:06,912
We had a good relationship.
686
00:19:06,979 --> 00:19:08,914
When Nikki fired me, he even
687
00:19:08,981 --> 00:19:09,948
offered to find me
688
00:19:10,015 --> 00:19:11,049
another position.
689
00:19:11,116 --> 00:19:13,118
Help that I declined.
690
00:19:13,185 --> 00:19:14,186
>> Nate: So, this really is
691
00:19:14,253 --> 00:19:15,120
nothing more than Victor
692
00:19:15,187 --> 00:19:15,854
encouraging you.
693
00:19:15,921 --> 00:19:17,256
>> Audra: And I appreciate it.
694
00:19:17,322 --> 00:19:19,157
I wouldn't go so far as to call
695
00:19:19,224 --> 00:19:20,359
him my mentor, but
696
00:19:20,425 --> 00:19:22,327
there's a mutual respect.
697
00:19:22,394 --> 00:19:23,962
And there are worse things than
698
00:19:24,029 --> 00:19:25,163
having someone of Victor's
699
00:19:25,230 --> 00:19:26,765
stature in my corner.
700
00:19:26,832 --> 00:19:28,233
>> Nate: So long as you see him
701
00:19:28,300 --> 00:19:30,536
for what he is.
702
00:19:30,602 --> 00:19:31,970
Because you wouldn't want to be
703
00:19:32,037 --> 00:19:33,972
beholden to a man like that.
704
00:19:34,039 --> 00:19:35,641
Take it from me.
705
00:19:35,707 --> 00:19:37,543
First sound of provocation,
706
00:19:37,609 --> 00:19:38,744
he'll turn on you.
707
00:19:38,810 --> 00:19:40,445
And you'll be dead in the water.
708
00:19:40,512 --> 00:19:42,548
>> Audra: It won't be a problem,
709
00:19:42,614 --> 00:19:44,016
because again,
710
00:19:44,082 --> 00:19:45,817
he's not my investor.
711
00:19:45,884 --> 00:19:46,919
>> Nate: Good.
712
00:19:46,985 --> 00:19:48,253
Because that autonomy
713
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:50,188
you cherish so much?
714
00:19:50,255 --> 00:19:51,290
There's no such thing
715
00:19:51,356 --> 00:19:53,325
when it comes to Victor. Mm.
716
00:19:53,392 --> 00:19:55,127
That's reserved only for him.
717
00:19:55,193 --> 00:19:56,428
Everyone else
718
00:19:56,495 --> 00:19:58,597
is very, very expendable.
719
00:20:10,609 --> 00:20:11,643
>> Chelsea: No line.
720
00:20:11,710 --> 00:20:13,478
My lucky day.
721
00:20:13,545 --> 00:20:14,713
>> Sharon: Good morning.
722
00:20:14,780 --> 00:20:17,049
What can I get you?
723
00:20:17,115 --> 00:20:19,017
>> Chelsea: Some advice?
724
00:20:19,084 --> 00:20:21,486
>> Sharon: Is this about Connor?
725
00:20:21,553 --> 00:20:22,454
How is he doing?
726
00:20:22,521 --> 00:20:23,155
>> Chelsea: There's
727
00:20:23,221 --> 00:20:24,089
been progress.
728
00:20:24,156 --> 00:20:26,592
>> Sharon: That's wonderful.
729
00:20:26,658 --> 00:20:29,061
>> Chelsea: It is. Um...
730
00:20:29,127 --> 00:20:31,797
but it's also terrifying.
731
00:20:31,863 --> 00:20:34,633
>> Adam: Morning.
732
00:20:34,700 --> 00:20:37,636
>> Victor: Hey, son.
733
00:20:37,703 --> 00:20:38,837
You have an answer for me?
734
00:20:38,904 --> 00:20:41,406
Are you ready
735
00:20:41,473 --> 00:20:43,008
to take over Newman Media?
736
00:20:43,075 --> 00:20:46,278
>> Adam: I accept your offer.
737
00:20:46,345 --> 00:20:47,713
>> Victor: Well, I'll be damned.
738
00:20:47,779 --> 00:20:49,648
I knew you would. Smart boy.
739
00:20:49,715 --> 00:20:50,515
>> Adam: But there's
740
00:20:50,582 --> 00:20:53,285
a condition.
741
00:20:53,352 --> 00:20:54,453
>> Victor: I don't remember
742
00:20:54,519 --> 00:20:55,988
there being a negotiation.
743
00:20:56,054 --> 00:20:57,055
>> Adam: Well, you're right.
744
00:20:57,122 --> 00:20:58,490
This isn't up for discussion.
745
00:20:58,557 --> 00:21:00,759
It's non-negotiable.
746
00:21:00,826 --> 00:21:02,561
Take it or leave it.
747
00:21:08,300 --> 00:21:09,468
>> Diane: I understand you
748
00:21:09,534 --> 00:21:11,036
wanting to let go, and let Kyle
749
00:21:11,103 --> 00:21:12,604
live his life.
750
00:21:12,671 --> 00:21:14,306
But Jack, there is
751
00:21:14,373 --> 00:21:15,407
so much more to this.
752
00:21:15,474 --> 00:21:16,608
This isn't about Kyle just
753
00:21:16,675 --> 00:21:18,644
going off on his own and doing
754
00:21:18,710 --> 00:21:19,945
great things.
755
00:21:20,012 --> 00:21:21,680
We have every reason to believe
756
00:21:21,747 --> 00:21:23,815
that Victor is secretly behind
757
00:21:23,882 --> 00:21:26,018

in the middle of something
769
00:21:40,565 --> 00:21:41,466

00:21:47,272 --> 00:21:47,973

774
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:49,274
are we going to do that
775
00:21:49,341 --> 00:21:50,375

Gosh, I-- I-- can't believe that
781

when I fired Kyle.

You know, he-- he's bitter.
784
00:22:02,954 --> 00:22:04,089
He's out to prove himself
785
00:22:04,156 --> 00:22:05,157
and that makes him vulnerable
786
00:22:05,223 --> 00:22:07,292
to Victor because of me.

788
00:22:08,326 --> 00:22:09,294

789
00:22:09,361 --> 00:22:10,796
what needed to be done.
790
00:22:10,862 --> 00:22:11,863

791
00:22:11,930 --> 00:22:13,665
that it would be a wake-up call.
792
00:22:13,732 --> 00:22:15,167
That as angry as we were at
793
00:22:15,233 --> 00:22:17,102
each other, he would-- he would
794
00:22:17,169 --> 00:22:18,670
come to see why I had to do what
795
00:22:18,737 --> 00:22:20,272
I did and then we could
796
00:22:20,338 --> 00:22:21,106
come back together.
797
00:22:21,173 --> 00:22:22,441
But instead, it's just pushed
798
00:22:22,507 --> 00:22:23,175
him further away.

When this whole mess seems to
804
00:22:31,950 --> 00:22:33,885
have set him off on some sort
805
00:22:33,952 --> 00:22:36,321
of self-destructive spiral?
806
00:22:36,388 --> 00:22:37,989
Jack, I-- I don't-- I don't know
807
00:22:38,056 --> 00:22:38,957
if I can do that.

He is determined to turn his

814
00:22:49,601 --> 00:22:51,536
long without my son in my life?
815
00:22:51,603 --> 00:22:53,138
And-- and now the thought of him

packing up Harrison and moving
817
00:22:54,639 --> 00:22:56,441

wrong thing to do?
828
00:23:14,326 --> 00:23:15,494
What if we need to hold on
829
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:17,863
tighter, and-- and somehow force
830
00:23:17,929 --> 00:23:18,864
him to listen to reason?

He's not going to do that.
834
00:23:26,004 --> 00:23:28,006
He needs to succeed or fail

on his own terms.
836
00:23:30,275 --> 00:23:32,110

945
00:26:58,116 --> 00:27:01,353
tools and pushed away the OCD.
946
00:27:01,419 --> 00:27:02,821
In that moment, he realized
947
00:27:02,887 --> 00:27:04,289
that the disease doesn't have
948
00:27:04,356 --> 00:27:05,657
to control him.
949
00:27:05,724 --> 00:27:07,759
It can be the other way around.
950
00:27:07,826 --> 00:27:09,694
I'm so proud of him.
951
00:27:09,761 --> 00:27:11,329
>> Sharon: And you should be.
952
00:27:11,396 --> 00:27:13,365
This is a huge step.
953
00:27:13,431 --> 00:27:14,599
>> Chelsea: Yes, and I know I--
954
00:27:14,666 --> 00:27:16,034
I should be relieved, and I am.
955
00:27:16,101 --> 00:27:18,336
And I am so grateful.
956
00:27:18,403 --> 00:27:19,771
>> Sharon: But...
957
00:27:19,838 --> 00:27:22,207
>> Chelsea: Um...
958
00:27:22,273 --> 00:27:24,075
I guess I'm just starting to
959
00:27:24,142 --> 00:27:26,011
see that this is how life is
960
00:27:26,077 --> 00:27:27,679
going to look for us now,
961
00:27:27,746 --> 00:27:29,314
forever.
962
00:27:29,381 --> 00:27:30,415
I-- I mean, we will always
963
00:27:30,482 --> 00:27:32,617
celebrate Connor's progress,
964
00:27:32,684 --> 00:27:33,718
but he's going to have
965
00:27:33,785 --> 00:27:36,321
episodes, and I can't prevent
966
00:27:36,388 --> 00:27:38,256
them, which means I can't
967
00:27:38,323 --> 00:27:40,225
protect my son.
968
00:27:40,291 --> 00:27:43,495
I just want to be brave, and I
969
00:27:43,561 --> 00:27:45,530
want to be optimistic, and I
970
00:27:45,597 --> 00:27:46,598
want to be everything Connor
971
00:27:46,664 --> 00:27:48,199
needs me to be.
972
00:27:48,266 --> 00:27:49,467
But I guess for the first time,
973
00:27:49,534 --> 00:27:51,669
I'm realizing that OCD is going
974
00:27:51,736 --> 00:27:53,138
to be a lifelong battle for
975
00:27:53,204 --> 00:27:56,474
him, and I'm not quite sure how
976
00:27:56,541 --> 00:27:59,077
to navigate that.
977
00:28:00,345 --> 00:28:01,613
>> Victor: Thank you for coming
978
00:28:01,679 --> 00:28:03,014
so quickly.
979
00:28:03,081 --> 00:28:04,182
>> Nick: Hard to ignore
980
00:28:04,249 --> 00:28:05,850
a Victor Newman summons.
981
00:28:05,917 --> 00:28:06,818
>> Victoria: What did you
982
00:28:06,885 --> 00:28:08,520
want to tell us?
983
00:28:08,586 --> 00:28:09,521
>> Victor: That we can
984
00:28:09,587 --> 00:28:12,257
move forward as planned.
985
00:28:12,323 --> 00:28:15,727
Adam will run Newman Media, and
986
00:28:15,794 --> 00:28:18,129
you, Victoria, will join your
987
00:28:18,196 --> 00:28:20,398
brother at Newman Enterprises.
988
00:28:20,465 --> 00:28:23,435
This is what is best,
989
00:28:23,501 --> 00:28:24,803
for Newman Media,
990
00:28:24,869 --> 00:28:26,771
for Newman Enterprises,
991
00:28:26,838 --> 00:28:29,307
and for us as a family.
992
00:28:29,374 --> 00:28:30,875
>> Nick: You're sidelining Mom
993
00:28:30,942 --> 00:28:32,177
to make room for Adam.
994
00:28:32,243 --> 00:28:33,711
>> Victor: I did no such thing.
995
00:28:33,778 --> 00:28:36,915
I urged your mother to stay in
996
00:28:36,981 --> 00:28:40,185
that outpatient program,
997
00:28:40,251 --> 00:28:43,555
where she will get better, and
998
00:28:43,621 --> 00:28:44,589
when she's finished with that,
999
00:28:44,656 --> 00:28:45,790
she will take over
1000
00:28:45,857 --> 00:28:46,558
Newman Media again.
1001
00:28:46,624 --> 00:28:47,725
>> Nick: You also coerced
1002
00:28:47,792 --> 00:28:48,693
Victoria into coming back to
1003
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:49,794
work, even though she doesn't
1004
00:28:49,861 --> 00:28:50,628
want to. Is that
1005
00:28:50,695 --> 00:28:51,329
also for her benefit?
1006
00:28:51,396 --> 00:28:53,198
>> Victor: What do you mean,
1007
00:28:53,264 --> 00:28:54,566
I coerced Victoria?
1008
00:28:54,632 --> 00:28:55,967
Is that your version
1009
00:28:56,034 --> 00:28:56,634
of our conversation?
1010
00:28:56,701 --> 00:28:57,502
>> Victoria: Dad, it's not--
1011
00:28:57,569 --> 00:28:58,536
>> Victor: Did I force you?
1012
00:28:58,603 --> 00:28:59,304
>> Victoria: No, I--
1013
00:28:59,370 --> 00:29:01,806
You didn't give me an ultimatum,
1014
00:29:01,873 --> 00:29:02,841
but it's not like
1015
00:29:02,907 --> 00:29:03,708
you were going to take
1016
00:29:03,775 --> 00:29:04,442
no for an answer.
1017
00:29:04,509 --> 00:29:05,276
>> Victor: So, I'm
1018
00:29:05,343 --> 00:29:06,144
the bad guy, or what?
1019
00:29:06,211 --> 00:29:07,178
>> Victoria: No, Dad, we're just
1020
00:29:07,245 --> 00:29:08,313
trying to understand what's
1021
00:29:08,379 --> 00:29:09,614
going on. Why are you doing
1022
00:29:09,681 --> 00:29:10,949
this? Adam and Nick are making
1023
00:29:11,015 --> 00:29:12,283
a big success of
1024
00:29:12,350 --> 00:29:13,284
Newman Enterprises, and Mom has
1025
00:29:13,351 --> 00:29:14,452
made it clear that she's ready
1026
00:29:14,519 --> 00:29:15,820
to come back to Newman Media,
1027
00:29:15,887 --> 00:29:18,323
on her own or with me,
1028
00:29:18,389 --> 00:29:19,624
and now you pull this.
1029
00:29:19,691 --> 00:29:20,692
>> Victor: I didn't pull
1030
00:29:20,758 --> 00:29:21,526
a damn thing.
1031
00:29:21,593 --> 00:29:22,827
>> Nick: All this reshuffling,
1032
00:29:22,894 --> 00:29:24,729
it doesn't make any sense, and
1033
00:29:24,796 --> 00:29:25,997
you are the only one who seems
1034
00:29:26,064 --> 00:29:27,098
happy about it.
1035
00:29:27,165 --> 00:29:28,466
Makes me think there's more to
1036
00:29:28,533 --> 00:29:29,934
this than you're telling us.
1037
00:29:30,001 --> 00:29:31,035
>> Victoria: We would like
1038
00:29:31,102 --> 00:29:32,604
to know what that is.
1039
00:29:32,670 --> 00:29:33,905
>> Audra: We aren't friends.
1040
00:29:33,972 --> 00:29:35,140
Okay? We don't need
1041
00:29:35,206 --> 00:29:37,408
to be friends. We are never
1042
00:29:37,475 --> 00:29:38,676
going to be friends.
1043
00:29:38,743 --> 00:29:40,078
So there's no need to talk
1044
00:29:40,145 --> 00:29:41,513
about the weekend, or grab
1045
00:29:41,579 --> 00:29:43,214
a drink after work, and cute as
1046
00:29:43,281 --> 00:29:45,083
he is, I don't need photos of
1047
00:29:45,150 --> 00:29:46,751
Harrison playing soccer,
1048
00:29:46,818 --> 00:29:48,987
or cuddling a puppy.
1049
00:29:49,053 --> 00:29:51,489
This, you and me, this is about
1050
00:29:51,556 --> 00:29:53,558
Glissade, the work,
1051
00:29:53,625 --> 00:29:55,727
making it a success.
1052
00:29:55,793 --> 00:29:56,895
I don't care about anything
1053
00:29:56,961 --> 00:29:58,530
else, and I sure as hell don't
1054
00:29:58,596 --> 00:29:59,631
give a damn about you.
1055
00:29:59,697 --> 00:30:00,832
>> Kyle: Wait, where is all this
1056
00:30:00,899 --> 00:30:01,799
attitude coming from?
1057
00:30:01,866 --> 00:30:02,867
I just asked you about
1058
00:30:02,934 --> 00:30:03,635
you and Nate.
1059
00:30:03,701 --> 00:30:05,103
>> Audra: I'll tell you
1060
00:30:05,170 --> 00:30:05,937
where it's coming from.
1061
00:30:06,004 --> 00:30:08,406
All the crap you fed me about
1062
00:30:08,473 --> 00:30:10,275
putting the past behind us,
1063
00:30:10,341 --> 00:30:11,242
working together for the
1064
00:30:11,309 --> 00:30:11,976
greater good.
1065
00:30:12,043 --> 00:30:13,478
I-- I almost believed you were
1066
00:30:13,545 --> 00:30:14,512
ready to play nice.
1067
00:30:14,579 --> 00:30:15,747
>> Kyle: And the two of us
1068
00:30:15,813 --> 00:30:16,781
taking Glissade to the top,
1069
00:30:16,848 --> 00:30:19,717
that's all I care about.
1070
00:30:19,784 --> 00:30:20,885
>> Audra: And you left out
1071
00:30:20,952 --> 00:30:23,788
the part, first chance you got,
1072
00:30:23,855 --> 00:30:25,690
where you told Victor
1073
00:30:25,757 --> 00:30:27,625
to cut me loose.
1074
00:30:30,495 --> 00:30:31,429
>> Victor: Let me tell
1075
00:30:31,496 --> 00:30:32,564
all of you, I have absolutely
1076
00:30:32,630 --> 00:30:34,766
no time for your suspicions,
1077
00:30:34,832 --> 00:30:36,834
about my motives.
1078
00:30:36,901 --> 00:30:39,304
Things are falling into place.
1079
00:30:39,370 --> 00:30:42,140
That's all you need to know.
1080
00:30:42,207 --> 00:30:43,408
>> Nick: Great, so
1081
00:30:43,474 --> 00:30:44,409
we're flying blind.
1082
00:30:44,475 --> 00:30:45,376
>> Victoria: Um, excuse me,
1083
00:30:45,443 --> 00:30:46,611
I'm-- I'm really not sure that
1084
00:30:46,678 --> 00:30:47,612
I'm comfortable with this--
1085
00:30:47,679 --> 00:30:48,846
>> Victor: Let me ask you
1086
00:30:48,913 --> 00:30:50,315
something. How long has it been
1087
00:30:50,381 --> 00:30:51,883
since all of you have worked
1088
00:30:51,950 --> 00:30:53,117
together at my company?
1089
00:30:53,184 --> 00:30:56,354
How long?
1090
00:30:56,421 --> 00:30:57,789
Sick and tired of the doubts,
1091
00:30:57,855 --> 00:30:58,856
the bickering.
1092
00:30:58,923 --> 00:31:00,325
You should be celebrating.
1093
00:31:03,895 --> 00:31:04,796
>> Nick: You've been quiet,
1094
00:31:04,862 --> 00:31:05,730
Adam. Do you know
1095
00:31:05,797 --> 00:31:07,365
something we don't?
1096
00:31:07,432 --> 00:31:09,300
>> Adam: I'm just another
1097
00:31:09,367 --> 00:31:12,403
lowly pawn in our father's game.
1098
00:31:12,470 --> 00:31:13,671
>> Nick: Well, just so we're all
1099
00:31:13,738 --> 00:31:15,607
clear, Mom's gonna want her job
1100
00:31:15,673 --> 00:31:17,609
back. When she's ready, I expect
1101
00:31:17,675 --> 00:31:18,943
you to step aside
1102
00:31:19,010 --> 00:31:19,777
without a fight.
1103
00:31:19,844 --> 00:31:21,145
>> Adam: Well, it kind of
1104
00:31:21,212 --> 00:31:23,181
begs the question, what do you
1105
00:31:23,248 --> 00:31:24,215
have in store for me
1106
00:31:24,282 --> 00:31:24,949
when that time comes?
1107
00:31:32,123 --> 00:31:34,425
>> Sharon: As hard as it is, as
1108
00:31:34,492 --> 00:31:37,028
much as you want to protect
1109
00:31:37,095 --> 00:31:39,831
Connor, you can't plan
1110
00:31:39,897 --> 00:31:41,432
for what's ahead.
1111
00:31:41,499 --> 00:31:43,568
What's going to happen
1112
00:31:43,635 --> 00:31:46,037
is going to happen.
1113
00:31:46,104 --> 00:31:49,173
The only thing you can do is
1114
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:53,111
stay strong and face it,
1115
00:31:53,177 --> 00:31:59,617
moment by moment, day by day.
1116
00:31:59,684 --> 00:32:01,552
>> Chelsea: Sharon?
1117
00:32:01,619 --> 00:32:04,255
Are you all right?
1118
00:32:04,322 --> 00:32:05,490
>> Sharon: Oh?
1119
00:32:05,556 --> 00:32:07,692
Yeah, of course I am.
1120
00:32:07,759 --> 00:32:10,762
Um, I guess what I'm trying to
1121
00:32:10,828 --> 00:32:14,299
say is, uh, you try to protect
1122
00:32:14,365 --> 00:32:16,868
your kids, you know,
1123
00:32:16,934 --> 00:32:20,204
but sometimes you can't.
1124
00:32:22,707 --> 00:32:24,008
>> Diane: So, we just pretend
1125
00:32:24,075 --> 00:32:25,410
we're okay with what he's doing?
1126
00:32:25,476 --> 00:32:26,544
>> Jack: No, we don't pretend
1127
00:32:26,611 --> 00:32:27,979
his unacceptable behavior
1128
00:32:28,046 --> 00:32:30,782
is okay, then or now.
1129
00:32:30,848 --> 00:32:32,350
Well, everything we said this
1130
00:32:32,417 --> 00:32:34,352
morning to him is true.
1131
00:32:34,419 --> 00:32:36,387
We said we love him, we want
1132
00:32:36,454 --> 00:32:38,189
him to be happy, and we are
1133
00:32:38,256 --> 00:32:39,957
there for him when he needs us.
1134
00:32:40,024 --> 00:32:42,393
That's never going to change.
1135
00:32:42,460 --> 00:32:44,462
>> Diane: All right, it won't be
1136
00:32:44,529 --> 00:32:47,031
easy, but maybe this is the best
1137
00:32:47,098 --> 00:32:48,666
thing we can do for him.
1138
00:32:48,733 --> 00:32:49,934
>> Jack: And it's not just
1139
00:32:50,001 --> 00:32:52,403
for him. This family has
1140
00:32:52,470 --> 00:32:54,439
been through hell lately.
1141
00:32:54,505 --> 00:32:57,375
Harrison's kidnapping, Ashley's
1142
00:32:57,442 --> 00:33:00,311
mental health crisis, choices I
1143
00:33:00,378 --> 00:33:01,746
made in that hotel room with
1144
00:33:01,813 --> 00:33:03,614
Nikki, now Kyle turning his
1145
00:33:03,681 --> 00:33:05,817
back on the family.
1146
00:33:05,883 --> 00:33:07,352
There's been too much pain, too
1147
00:33:07,418 --> 00:33:09,787
much hurt, too much anger.
1148
00:33:09,854 --> 00:33:12,590
It is time to heal, to focus
1149
00:33:12,657 --> 00:33:14,192
on us, and what this is doing
1150
00:33:14,258 --> 00:33:16,361
to us.
1151
00:33:16,427 --> 00:33:17,795
>> Diane: To us?
1152
00:33:17,862 --> 00:33:20,398
>> Jack: Yeah, you and me.
1153
00:33:20,465 --> 00:33:24,135
Look, I know I've done some
1154
00:33:24,202 --> 00:33:25,837
things lately that have
1155
00:33:25,903 --> 00:33:29,107
upset you a great deal.
1156
00:33:29,173 --> 00:33:30,842
>> Diane: So have I.
1157
00:33:30,908 --> 00:33:32,243
>> Jack: So what do you say we
1158
00:33:32,310 --> 00:33:34,479
just try to remember what we
1159
00:33:34,545 --> 00:33:38,783
have, how good we are as a team,
1160
00:33:38,850 --> 00:33:40,885
how strong we are, how much love
1161
00:33:40,952 --> 00:33:43,688
we-- we have for each other?
1162
00:33:43,755 --> 00:33:47,158
>> Diane: Mm.
1163
00:33:47,225 --> 00:33:48,226
>> Jack: Eventually, Kyle
1164
00:33:48,292 --> 00:33:49,761
will come around.
1165
00:33:49,827 --> 00:33:51,262
He'll let his armor down, maybe
1166
00:33:51,329 --> 00:33:55,032
things will cool down, and he
1167
00:33:55,099 --> 00:33:58,136
will see things differently.
1168
00:33:58,202 --> 00:34:00,204
>> Kyle: Victor told you.
1169
00:34:00,271 --> 00:34:01,773
>> Audra: He did.
1170
00:34:01,839 --> 00:34:03,408
And he wasn't happy that we're
1171
00:34:03,474 --> 00:34:05,042
not even out of the gate, and
1172
00:34:05,109 --> 00:34:06,277
you're already trying to stab
1173
00:34:06,344 --> 00:34:07,879
me in the back.
1174
00:34:07,945 --> 00:34:08,913
>> Kyle: Look, I figured
1175
00:34:08,980 --> 00:34:10,248
pitching myself as the sole CEO
1176
00:34:10,314 --> 00:34:12,083
was worth a shot, okay?
1177
00:34:12,150 --> 00:34:13,217
>> Audra: And I told Victor
1178
00:34:13,284 --> 00:34:14,719
I had no interest in
1179
00:34:14,786 --> 00:34:16,387
making you my partner.
1180
00:34:16,454 --> 00:34:18,723
>> Kyle: But here I am.
1181
00:34:18,790 --> 00:34:19,824
>> Audra: So, we're stuck with
1182
00:34:19,891 --> 00:34:21,159
each other. The question is,
1183
00:34:21,225 --> 00:34:24,061
are we in this together or not?
1184
00:34:24,128 --> 00:34:25,029
>> Kyle: I've agreed to
1185
00:34:25,096 --> 00:34:27,565
the terms. Can we move on?
1186
00:34:27,632 --> 00:34:31,269
>> Audra: Nothing I like more.
1187
00:34:31,335 --> 00:34:34,572
But we have to at least try for
1188
00:34:34,639 --> 00:34:35,907
a modicum of trust.
1189
00:34:35,973 --> 00:34:37,341
Otherwise, we'll blow this thing
1190
00:34:37,408 --> 00:34:39,143
before we even get started.
1191
00:34:39,210 --> 00:34:41,679
Agreed?
1192
00:34:41,746 --> 00:34:43,314
>> Kyle: Agreed.
1193
00:34:43,381 --> 00:34:44,315
>> Audra: I don't know,
1194
00:34:44,382 --> 00:34:45,316
points for enthusiasm,
1195
00:34:45,383 --> 00:34:47,685
but we have jobs to do.
1196
00:34:47,752 --> 00:34:49,053
I'm leaving for Paris tomorrow
1197
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:50,655
afternoon as planned.
1198
00:34:50,721 --> 00:34:52,156
>> Kyle: Sounds good.
1199
00:34:52,223 --> 00:34:52,890
What time does
1200
00:34:52,957 --> 00:34:54,525
our flight leave?
1201
00:34:54,592 --> 00:34:55,860
>> Audra: We talked about this
1202
00:34:55,927 --> 00:34:57,161
with Victor.
1203
00:34:57,228 --> 00:34:59,096
You're staying here to prepare
1204
00:34:59,163 --> 00:34:59,964
for Glissade's relocation
1205
00:35:00,031 --> 00:35:00,898
to Genoa City.
1206
00:35:00,965 --> 00:35:02,533
>> Kyle: Yeah, I've decided the
1207
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:04,035
whole divide and conquer thing
1208
00:35:04,101 --> 00:35:07,305
doesn't really work for me.
1209
00:35:07,371 --> 00:35:08,639
>> Audra: So in other words,
1210
00:35:08,706 --> 00:35:11,075
you don't trust me to go alone.
1211
00:35:14,078 --> 00:35:15,079
>> Nick: So, Adam knows
1212
00:35:15,146 --> 00:35:16,481
his position is temporary.
1213
00:35:16,547 --> 00:35:17,348
How about Vic and I?
1214
00:35:17,415 --> 00:35:18,282
How do you see
1215
00:35:18,349 --> 00:35:19,016
that playing out?
1216
00:35:19,083 --> 00:35:20,051
>> Victoria: Yeah, and once Mom
1217
00:35:20,117 --> 00:35:20,952
returns, is Adam supposed to
1218
00:35:21,018 --> 00:35:21,619
join us again
1219
00:35:21,686 --> 00:35:22,353
at the parent company?
1220
00:35:22,420 --> 00:35:23,788
>> Victor: All those issues will
1221
00:35:23,855 --> 00:35:25,089
be resolved when the time comes,
1222
00:35:25,156 --> 00:35:25,857
all right?
1223
00:35:25,923 --> 00:35:26,757
>> Adam: Well, what's wrong
1224
00:35:26,824 --> 00:35:29,193
with right now?
1225
00:35:29,260 --> 00:35:30,027
>> Victor: Stop worrying,
1226
00:35:30,094 --> 00:35:31,529
all right?
1227
00:35:31,596 --> 00:35:32,630
>> Adam: Why is that not,
1228
00:35:32,697 --> 00:35:34,499
uh, reassuring?
1229
00:35:34,565 --> 00:35:35,566
>> Victor: You're all exactly
1230
00:35:35,633 --> 00:35:38,236
where you're supposed to be.
1231
00:35:38,302 --> 00:35:40,338
Enough.
1232
00:35:40,404 --> 00:35:41,706
Meeting is adjourned. Thank you.
1233
00:35:51,782 --> 00:35:52,517
>> Victoria: Well, that
1234
00:35:52,583 --> 00:35:53,384
went well.
1235
00:35:53,451 --> 00:35:54,719
>> Nick: I gotta believe that if
1236
00:35:54,785 --> 00:35:55,920
you agreed to take over
1237
00:35:55,987 --> 00:35:57,221
Newman Media, Dad must have told
1238
00:35:57,288 --> 00:35:58,689
you why he wanted you to run it
1239
00:35:58,756 --> 00:36:00,424
in the first place, so why don't
1240
00:36:00,491 --> 00:36:01,792
you fill us in, Adam?
1241
00:36:01,859 --> 00:36:02,727
>> Victoria: What is
1242
00:36:02,793 --> 00:36:03,528
Dad up to?
