>> Audra: Well, if you can't
meet for lunch,
how about dinner?
You can all vent about how
Kyle's in over his head.
He did.
Well, he's right.
You-- you do deserve a raise.
He promoted Spencer, too.
Oh, no, that's-- that's great.
Yeah, that's definitely good
for Glissade.
Oh, absolutely.
Yeah, call me.
Uh, we can...
Hello.
Meet for drinks.
Hello, Jack.
>> Jack: Audra.
>> Audra: Got a minute?
>> Jack: Another time.
>> Audra: I have some
information that could be
of great use to you.
>> Adam: Newman Media has not
only outperformed
the competition,
it has exceeded
the market's expectations.
Digital advertising and
subscription services are way
up, and the programming costs
are way down.
A win-win.
>> Victor: Further proof,
my boy, that putting you
in charge
was a damn good idea.
>> Adam: Well, I'm not sure
Nikki and Victoria would agree
with that.
>> Victor: They will get used to
the idea and they will
eventually appreciate it, okay?
>> Adam: Well, why do I get
the feeling you called me in
here to discuss more than
revenue reports?
>> Victor: There's an assignment
that I only trust you
to carry out.
>> Adam: Well, tell me,
where do you trust me
to direct my ruthlessness
this time?
>> Phyllis: Hey.
That was harsh.
>> Billy: Yeah, I'm sorry that
you had to hear that.
>> Phyllis: Um, no.
No problem.
You know, I am fully aware that
Jill Abbott is not
my biggest fan,
you know, but...
that part that she said I'm my
own worst enemy, I mean,
that was uncalled for.
I'm not-- It's crazy.
Usually something like that
wouldn't bother me, but I'm
a little sensitive today, so.
Okay, so how bad was it?
>> Billy: Phyllis, I really
don't want to get into it
right now.
>> Phyllis: Oh, come on.
>> Billy: No, I don't, okay?
That was a private conversation.
You weren't meant to hear that.
>> Phyllis: Billy,
you know we're partners.
>> Billy: No, we're not
partners, okay?
I'm your boss.
>> Phyllis: But we're in this
together, all right?
So, what prompted the call?
>> Billy: Lily, actually.
Look, I have not told my mom
everything about what's been
going on here for reasons I'm
not going to get into right
now, but Lily took that as
an opportunity to spin it around
and make me look like
the backstabbing villain.
>> Phyllis: Okay, well,
was she aware that Lily
was plotting your demise
the whole time?
>> Billy: Yes, I told her that,
but she does not think that that
was Lily's intention and she
thinks that I am, you know,
overreacting.
>> Phyllis: That's crazy.
I cannot believe that she would
take Lily's side.
I would never do that to my son.
In fact, if someone was
screwing him over, I would make
sure that they knew the
consequences of that, and I
would never side with them,
ever.
>> Billy: She's also not happy
that Chance decided to leave the
company and join
the police force.
>> Phyllis: Please. It wasn't
a good fit for Chance.
>> Billy: I agree with you,
okay? But she sees it
as an asset that is no longer
working here.
>> Phyllis: Well, it's okay
because she has an asset
in me. I'm here.
>> Billy: Yeah, and we both know
how she feels about that.
>> Phyllis: Yeah, well,
no big deal.
I mean, she's going to have to
learn to live with it.
>> Billy: No, she's not,
actually.
She gave me an ultimatum,
Phyllis.
She said I have until Abby and
her fiancé's wedding to undo
all the mistakes
that I have made.
>> Phyllis: And she sees me
as one of those mistakes.
>> Billy: In her eyes,
aside from firing Lily,
you are my second
biggest mistake.
>> Phyllis: Wow, okay.
Well, she's just going to have
to suck it up because I'm here
to do a great job.
You know, what are you going to
do, fire me?
I mean, you're not going to
fire me.
Oh, my God,
are you going to fire me?
♪♪
>> Chance: Yeah,
it's definitely blood.
A lot of it.
You have any idea where this
came from?
>> Daniel: No idea.
>> Chance:: Any reason why it's
in this cabinet?
>> Daniel: Uh, none that
I can think of. Why?
What-- what do you think?
>> Chance: No need to panic.
We'll have this analyzed.
We'll find out whose blood
this is.
>> Chance: Oh, hey, hey,
steer clear of that cabinet.
If there's anything else in
there, you might compromise the
chain of evidence.
>> Daniel: Look, man, I'm trying
to figure out why bloody towels
were stuffed in there
in the first place.
Why not throw them in the wash?
Or if you're trying to hide
something, why not throw them
in the trash?
>> Chance: I'm thinking whoever
stashed these in here
was in a hurry.
Now, you're absolutely sure
this is Heather's phone?
>> Daniel: Yes,
it's Heather's phone.
That's the cover she got so we
wouldn't mix our phones up.
Wait-- wait a second.
The texts that were sent to me,
I mean, they came from that
phone, right?
So, how did it get back in here?
>> Chance: That's
a good question. Any chance
you know the passcode?
>> Daniel: Yeah, of course
I know the passcode. Here.
>> Chance: Hold on, hold on.
I think it's better
if we handle this down at
headquarters, okay?
>> Daniel: Are you serious?
>> Chance: It's nothing
personal, Daniel.
Don't take it personal.
>> Daniel: Actually, Chance,
it is personal.
We just found Heather's phone
and we found bloody towels in
a cabinet in my apartment.
So, you know, I'm a little
rattled right now, but if
there's any answers on that
phone that would explain any of
this, then I want to know what
they are.
And since I'm the only one that
knows how to get in it, why
won't you let me do it?
>> Chance: Because I have
to follow police procedure.
>> Daniel: Come on, man.
Tell him that I found it before
you got here.
You're really going to make us
sit through the department red
tape while we wait for them to
get in it when we could do it
right now?
>> Chance: Give me the passcode.
>> Daniel: You really don't
trust me.
1-6-9-2.
>> Chance: Are you sure
that's it?
>> Daniel: Yes, that's it.
We know each other's passcodes
so we could get into each
other's phones in an emergency.
>> Chance: No dice.
>> Victor: Son, it's not only
your ruthlessness that
I appreciate.
I really value your
intelligence and your
business savvy.
And I also really appreciate
your newfound family loyalty.
>> Adam: But it was that
cutthroat cunning in my DNA that
got me the gig.
So, fill me in
on today's assignment.
>> Victor: I want you to use
Newman Media to create buzz
about the goings-on
at the Abbott-Chancellor
corporate suites.
>> Adam: Is there actual
uncertainty or are we
manufacturing it?
>> Victor: Nothing has to be
manufactured, okay?
The firings up there
have become commonplace
at a once-proud company.
>> Adam: I assume that, uh,
Lily Winters is one of
the random firings.
>> Victor: Not only
Lily Winters,
but Chance as well, all right?
Seems that he prefers to
put his life on the line rather
than work for that chaotic
Billy Abbott.
>> Adam: Hm.
Yeah, rash decisions without
any regard for the fallout.
That sounds like Billy's
trademark leadership style.
>> Victor: We need to stop
that S.O.B.
before he ruins Katherine
Chancellor's legacy.
>> Adam: Yeah, I will put
my best mudslingers on it.
>> Victor: But do not go after
Lily or Chance, all right?
Billy Abbott is the focus of
the campaign.
>> Adam: Trust me, I got it.
>> Victor: So, last time,
you were a little bit more
reluctant to go after Billy Boy?
>> Adam: Well, that's because of
Chelsea and Connor.
But the dynamics have changed.
So as far as I'm concerned,
Billy Abbott is officially fair
game again.
>> Billy: Look, my job here,
my position, everything that
I've worked for,
is in serious jeopardy, okay?
I can't worry about you.
>> Phyllis: Thanks, Billy.
That's like--
>> Billy: I'm sorry, I didn't
mean it that way.
>> Phyllis: Yeah, well, I mean,
that she's asking you to get rid
of me, it's like
a knife in the back.
>> Billy: I don't have a choice.
>> Phyllis: She's asking you,
"Hey, kick Phyllis to the curb,"
and you're saying, "How hard?"
>> Billy: Phyllis, I don't like
this any more than you do,
believe me.
>> Phyllis: Then, don't do it!
She gave you the company to
run, all right?
And that's what you're doing.
You're doing a great job.
She doesn't see how well
we work together.
She doesn't see that.
I mean, I had your back.
I had your back when all that
staff was jumping ship in
protest of Lily's firing.
>> Billy: I know. You did.
And I explained that to her,
but she's not hearing it.
>> Phyllis: She has to approve
all your staffing decisions?
That's insane.
>> Billy: I agree, Phyllis,
but it's the only way
to get her to calm down,
to get her to back off.
If I don't fire you,
then I lose everything.
>> Phyllis: What do you mean
you lose everything?
>> Billy: She rips
Abbott-Chancellor out
from underneath me.
She seizes control, okay?
That's what she's gonna do.
And then, both of us
are out on the streets.
>> Phyllis: I can't
believe this.
Your mother is gonna take away
the company that you
rechristened in her honor?
I mean, you've hardly had
a chance to get this
up and running.
>> Billy: Phyllis, look,
she owns the company, okay?
I don't.
Ultimately, she decides who
stays and who goes.
>> Phyllis: Oh, does she realize
that if you fire me,
this will be the third
high-ranking casualty
that this company has had?
>> Billy: Yeah.
>> Phyllis: That is not
a good look.
>> Billy: No, I-- I know that.
She doesn't care.
>> Phyllis: Well, the press will
care because they're gonna see
this as you're someone
who can't control the staff,
or worse,
that you're mommy's puppet.
Either way, it's a hit on you
and a hit on the company.
>> Billy: I don't see
another way around it, okay?
I don't.
>> Phyllis: So, you're gonna
punish loyalty
by firing me and reward
betrayal by rehiring Lily?
>> Billy: No, that is not
gonna happen.
>> Phyllis: Oh, so you're not
gonna fire me?
>> Billy: I have to fire you.
I'm not gonna rehire Lily.
That's not gonna happen.
Not after what she did to me
and this company.
That is a door that will not
be reopened.
>> Phyllis: Okay, okay. Shh.
What if there were
a third door?
What if a third door that
guarantees that you hang on
to everything?
>> Victor: I want you to do this
as smoothly as possible,
all right?
Your goal is to make it look as
if Billy Abbott is totally out
of control.
>> Adam: That is
a piece of cake.
Anything else?
>> Victor: One other assignment.
>> Adam: Okay.
I can multitask.
Who's the target on this one?
>> Victor: Audra Charles.
I want you to use Newman Media
to smooth over
her exit from Glissade.
>> Jack: What information
do you have that might help me?
>> Audra: Well, before we get
into all of that,
I'd like to clear the air
with regards to our
past rivalry.
>> Jack: Rivalry?
That's a kind way of talking
about the utter chaos
you and Tucker tried to
wreak on my business.
>> Audra: Aligning myself with
Tucker was a huge mistake on
so many levels.
One I will be regretting
for a long time.
>> Jack: You're not the first
intelligent person to fall for
that scam artist.
>> Audra: Thank you
for saying that.
Truth be told, I've never held
any personal animosity towards
you or your wife.
Though Diane's made it clear
from day one she had
no use for me.
>> Jack: Diane and I are not
exactly in sync these days.
>> Audra: I would like to say
that I'm surprised, but
I was at Society the other day.
>> Jack: Well, I'm sorry that
you or anyone saw that
unpleasant display.
>> Audra: You know, from what
I gathered, the main source of
your conflict was your son,
which I'm sure brings
Kyle great pleasure.
>> Jack: I hope you're wrong
about that.
>> Audra: Spoken like the
devoted father you are,
despite your son's ingratitude.
>> Jack: Wow, the second dig
into Kyle.
>> Audra: Oh.
>> Jack: How about we skip
the small talk
and you tell me exactly
what you're after?
>> Chance: If this is
Heather's phone, why isn't
the password you gave me
working?
>> Daniel: Maybe she changed it
and didn't tell me,
but why would she?
>> Chance: All right, I'll take
this down to the station.
They'll be able to bypass
the code.
>> Daniel: Wait a second.
I think I know a way to get in.
I've got all of Heather's
information on a file.
The two of us, we share the
same cellular account,
so, I mean, I should just be
able to request a changed
password, right?
Yeah, done.
Okay, just waiting for
the two-step verification.
>> Chance: You haven't heard
this phone in this apartment
until now.
>> Daniel: I have been texting
and calling that phone non-stop,
so you think I would have heard
it at least once, right?
>> Chance: Unless it wasn't here
the whole time.
>> Daniel: Do you think that
somebody brought it back here
recently?
>> Chance: Maybe.
>> Daniel: How?
How without me knowing?
I mean, aside from you and my
mother, Lucy and I have been
the only people that were in
this apartment since this whole
nightmare started.
Okay. Hang on.
I'm just gonna change it.
Done. You ready?
>> Chance: Mm-hmm.
>> Daniel: 1-2-3-4.
>> Chance: I'm in.
>> Adam: Departure is a careful
choice of words.
I assume it's because you don't
want any clickbait headlines to
reveal the real story.
>> Victor: What do you mean,
the real story?
>> Adam: How Audra Charles was
unceremoniously booted from the
company without any reason.
>> Victor: Well, there's always
a reason, you know.
>> Adam: And you're not worried
that she's gonna retaliate and
reveal that you are the
Glissade silent investor?
>> Victor: I don't think
Audra Charles will violate
the non-disclosure agreement.
>> Adam: Well, I'm not sure
I would trust anybody who was
fired without cause to honor
anything that they signed.
>> Victor: I am not worried,
to be honest with you.
Just label her exit as a mutual
parting of the ways, okay?
>> Adam: Well, however
I spin it, it sure seems like
there's as much chaos in
the Glissade C-suite as there is
at Abbott-Chancellor.
>> Victor: Not since I put
Kyle Abbott in charge
of Glissade.
It'll be successful.
>> Adam: Dad, you sure put a lot
of faith into a guy that doesn't
have much experience.
>> Victor: Kyle Abbott
is very capable.
He's coming into his own.
He just needed the right mentor.
>> Adam: Are you implying that
his father was the wrong one?
>> Victor: Did I mention
his father?
>> Audra: Is it so hard to
believe I'm not after anything?
>> Jack: Your reputation
precedes you, Audra.
I know that you were fired from
Glissade, that my son, your
former partner, is still there.
That seems to me a pretty good
reason for payback.
>> Audra: How much about
my termination
do you actually know?
>> Jack: I know Kyle was not
comfortable working with you.
>> Audra: Maybe because
I outranked him
on every level, which is
probably why he manipulated the
situation to get me fired.
You know, even though I am
the one who made Glissade
what it is today.
>> Jack: I hope you're not
thinking that I can help you
get your job back.
Kyle and I are barely on
speaking terms.
>> Audra: Clearly,
I'm not the only one
he's betrayed lately.
>> Jack: And here we are
disparaging my son again.
>> Audra: You conduct your own
business with honor
and integrity.
It can't be easy to face that
your son is sorely
lacking in both.
>> Jack: That you would judge
anyone after the stunts that
you've pulled,
that Kyle witnessed,
is quite ironic.
>> Audra: You've got it
all wrong.
I'm not the bad influence here.
>> Jack: And who is?
>> Audra: Victor Newman.
He's the silent investor
behind Glissade.
He's the one who's been pulling
Kyle's strings all along.
>> Daniel: You know, I really
wish you'd say something.
Tell me if you're seeing
anything unusual.
Are there any red flags?
>> Chance: Just going through
her calendar right now.
Got a dentist appointment
for you.
Shopping list for Thanksgiving.
>> Daniel: Yeah.
She liked to plan ahead.
>> Chance: Cranberries,
green beans, sweet potatoes.
>> Daniel: Marshmallows.
She knew how much that I loved
that recipe and you know,
she loved Thanksgiving.
So every year, we'd flip a coin
and see if we're gonna brine
the turkey.
This year, she won.
I'm sorry.
>> Chance: Let's see.
No outgoing calls since
before she disappeared.
>> Daniel: Wait a second.
What about the texts
to my phone?
>> Chance: Yeah, they're here.
So are your responses.
Nothing after that.
Wait, hold on.
>> Daniel: Wait, hold on what?
>> Chance: It's an unsent text
to her dad.
>> Daniel: What does it say?
Chance, please.
What does it say?
>> Phyllis: Hey, come on.
Don't you even wanna know
what's behind door number three?
>> Billy: No, I don't.
I don't want to entertain
a game show solution
to a real life problem.
>> Phyllis: Please.
>> Billy: Phyllis, it doesn't
matter what you say or do, okay?
It's not gonna change what has
to happen.
>> Phyllis: Okay.
Listen, Billy, if you just give
me maybe two minutes, I'll just
pitch the whole idea to you.
>> Billy: Stop.
Please stop.
I barely survived
Lily stabbing me in the back.
I know Victor's coming after me.
I gotta prepare for that.
And I know that onslaught has
already started.
I had the biggest acquisition
this company has ever had, only
for it to get stolen away
from me. And the whole time,
I gotta appease my mom
and make sure
that I'm doing right and
holding on to the legacy that
this company has, okay?
I cannot continue to fight for
you on top of everything else.
>> Phyllis: Okay, I am not
asking you to fight for me.
I'm not asking for that, okay?
I am asking you to
pretend to fire me.
>> Billy: Oh, my God.
>> Phyllis: Do it in
a public place.
>> Billy: You just don't stop,
do you?
>> Phyllis: So everybody sees.
Everybody sees you
and you're really reaming me.
>> Billy: Phyllis,
you are relentless.
>> Phyllis: So there's no doubt
in anyone's mind that I'd ever
get back to Abbott-Chancellor.
>> Billy: I can't pretend
to fire you.
My mom's not an idiot.
She's gonna see that you're
still on the payroll
and Lily's not.
>> Phyllis: Okay, I don't need
to be on the payroll.
You don't need to pay me.
Pay me after we make this
company a raging success.
Together.
And then your mother, she's not
gonna take it away from you
anymore.
And then, voila, I come out.
I take a bow.
She sees that I'm a part of it.
And she sees me
in a whole new light.
>> Billy: I'm sorry, Phyllis.
I don't know what else to say.
I'm sorry.
>> Phyllis: You cannot build
this company without me, Billy.
>> Billy: Well, I'm gonna have
to try.
>> Phyllis: Okay, please.
I'm asking you.
I am asking you.
Please do not fire me.
Please.
Not only that,
you have to hire Daniel.
You have to hire my son.
He needs this.
He is drowning in his grief.
Please, Billy.
I'm not asking you just for me.
I'm asking you for my family.
Please, this needs to happen.
>> Billy: Phyllis, I'm sorry.
I can see how upsetting this is
for you, okay? And I-- I--
I get that.
You have my sympathy, but...
look, maybe not working here
is a good thing for you, okay?
You can focus on your son.
And yourself.
>> Adam: Admit it.
That these media blitzes that
you're asking me to do, they
aren't just for pumping up
Glissade or getting Chancellor.
You are waging battle
on two fronts.
>> Victor: Son,
this is about family business.
>> Adam: Right, right.
Because you want Chancellor
for Nikki.
>> Victor: You're damn right
I do.
>> Adam: Come on, Dad.
Firing Audra has to do with
whatever you have planned
for Kyle.
Because you want to stick it
to Jack.
>> Victor: I want Glissade
to become successful by putting
the right man at the helm.
>> Adam: I don't believe you.
Okay, I had one condition in
coming back to Newman Media,
that I would not use any
platforms to go after Jack or
his family.
>> Victor: How the hell does
this hurt Jack Abbott?
I'm promoting a member
of his family.
Kyle is finally getting the
encouragement he deserves.
>> Adam: It's encouragement that
should have come from his own
father, not from you.
>> Victor: For your information,
son, do you realize that
Jack Abbott sat by as Diane
threw her son out on the street?
>> Adam: And I'm sure that
there's more to his firing
than we know.
>> Victor: Who gives a damn?
If Glissade's success means the
demise of that old war horse,
Jabot, so be it.
>> Adam: You know my conditions.
>> Victor: Son,
and you know mine.
>> Michael: Ooh, safe to go in?
>> Adam: I would give it
a minute.
You know what?
Actually, maybe you can help me.
>> Michael: How would I do that?
>> Adam: By telling me
Victor's plan with Glissade,
Jabot, and Jack Abbott.
And be specific because I want
all the details.
>> Audra: You're not surprised,
are you?
Is it possible you already knew
Victor was Glissade's
silent investor?
>> Jack: I have suspected
as much for some time now.
>> Audra: Then, you must have
also suspected it was Victor who
brought Kyle on to run
the company with me.
>> Jack: I had a hunch, yes.
>> Audra: And I was completely
against it.
For good reason, it turns out.
Kyle sabotaged me
the first chance he got.
>> Jack: Well, I'm not shocked
by any of this.
But it is nice to get
affirmation for
what you suspected.
It's quite useful.
>> Audra: Well, I can be
more useful.
>> Jack: What are
you suggesting?
>> Audra: I know all
the inner workings of Glissade.
I poured my heart and soul into
that company.
And I want it back, Jack.
I imagine
you want your son back.
Maybe we can make a deal.
>> Daniel: Come on, man,
you can't leave me
hanging like that.
Whatever it is, I can handle it.
>> Chance: It's better if I take
this down to headquarters.
>> Daniel: You know, the only
reason I agreed to let you do
this search in the first place
is because I wanted answers as
much as you did.
Now, if one of those answers is
in that text that you just
read, then I need to hear it.
Chance, come on, man, please.
It doesn't matter
how bad it was.
If Heather was having an affair,
I can take it.
It's just the not knowing
that's killing me right now.
>> Chance: "Hi, Dad.
Lucy and I may need to come to
Lisbon soon.
Daniel and I have been fighting
nonstop and it's starting to
scare me."
>> Daniel: Wait-- wait.
That's not true.
We weren't fighting.
What does she mean that
I'm scaring her?
>> Chance: "Daniel's anger
issues are resurfacing.
And they seem even worse this
time around."
>> Daniel: This is--
this is insane.
I can't ever imagine Heather
saying anything like that, let
alone writing it to Paul
or to anyone.
>> Daniel: You know, no matter
how bad things got between us,
I never saw her scared of me.
I never gave her a reason to be
scared of me.
There's got to be something
else to explain why she may
have written that to Paul on
the phone.
>> Chance: Hold on, hold on.
Now, I'm going to take this
down to forensics.
They're going to do a more
extensive search.
If there's anything else,
they're going to find it.
>> Daniel: Are you
freaking kidding me?
So, I can't even try and figure
this out on my own
at this point?
>> Chance: No, you can't.
>> Daniel: You know, she was
everything to me, Chance.
There wasn't a single thing
that the two of us didn't know
about each other.
>> Chance: Obviously,
that's not the case.
>> Daniel: Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
You think this is true.
You think that she was really
afraid of me, don't you?
>> Chance: I don't know what
to think, Daniel.
>> Daniel: That's why you're not
going to let me hold the phone,
right?
You're scared that I'm going to
go in there and I'm going to
delete some kind of evidence
on it?
Was Lucy right the other day?
Are you looking at me for this?
Am I a suspect now?
>> Michael: You're joking,
right?
>> Adam: Oh, come on.
We know you have the inside
track on his schemes.
Hell, there was a time when you
knew every move that he made.
>> Michael: Those days are over.
I mean, I may be privy to one
or two chess moves at best, but
I'm never around for checkmate.
>> Adam: I am not buying it.
You still have more access than
you're willing to admit.
>> Michael: If only that
were true.
I have spent the last few months
trying to win my way back into
your father's good graces
because of some unfortunate
incident that I have been
ordered not to talk about.
And trust me, my friend,
I have a long way to go.
>> Adam: So, you really--
You don't have any idea about
his most recent plan?
>> Michael: Which one?
>> Adam: The one that has to do
with using Kyle Abbott as
a weapon against Jack.
>> Michael: I know he promoted
Kyle to run Glissade.
That is the extent
of my knowledge.
>> Adam: And it never occurred
to you that that promotion was
meant to hurt Jack and your good
friend, Diane?
>> Michael: Jack and Diane
aren't fools.
And whatever plan Victor may or
may not have, they'll know how
to deal with it,
better than most.
>> Adam: Okay. So you're okay
with whatever Victor
has planned?
>> Michael: I don't even know
if he has a plan.
>> Adam: Firing Audra without
any justification just to
elevate Kyle makes me think
that he is grooming the guy
and not for any good purpose.
>> Michael: It is possible that
Victor has a genuine fondness
for Kyle.
He was his grandson-in-law.
And it isn't the first time
that he's had this, you know,
fatherly, protective attitude
towards him.
>> Adam: I can personally attest
that Victor playing
father figure to anybody
is a double-edged sword.
>> Phyllis: Don't you dare
pretend to care about me.
If you really cared about me,
we wouldn't even be having this
conversation right now.
>> Billy: Phyllis,
I'm simply saying that
I have sympathy
for your situation.
And I think it's best that you
focus on your family and help
everyone get through the grief
instead of stressing about work.
>> Phyllis: Having this job
forces me to focus on something
other than my grief.
It forces me to see that life
goes on and it will do the same
for my son too.
>> Billy: I understand what
you're saying.
I just don't think that this job
in this time is really
the answer that
you're looking for.
>> Phyllis: Hm. Okay.
Fine, fine.
No big deal.
I'm just gonna have to bypass
you and go to the source
and plead my case.
>> Billy: And by source,
you mean going to my mom?
>> Phyllis: Mm-hmm.
>> Billy: Okay, well, that's not
gonna work.
>> Phyllis: Au contraire.
I'm gonna sit right in front of
Jill and I'm gonna make her
love me.
I'm gonna talk to her
woman to woman.
>> Billy: In case you've
forgotten, my mom can
out-stubborn a brick wall.
>> Phyllis: You
underestimate me.
>> Jack: What kind of deal
are you proposing?
>> Audra: More like
an agreement.
I'll use my resources to help
you get Kyle back
where he belongs.
In return,
you help me get my company back.
>> Jack: I will not bargain
for my son
and I will not take your side
over his.
>> Audra: That's not
what I'm saying.
Quite the opposite, in fact.
I would simply be helping you
get Kyle back on the right path.
All I want is for what's
rightfully mine.
>> Jack: Thank you for
the information
you shared with me.
I will handle Kyle and Victor
on my own.
>> Audra: Well, this information
didn't come without cost.
I betrayed a confidence,
violated my NDA.
>> Jack: Yes, you chose
to do that.
>> Audra: I gambled everything
I have because I trusted you
to be the honorable man
you claimed to be.
>> Jack: This conversation
is over.
>> Audra: I risked
Victor's wrath to help you
and now you won't help me?
Don't you think I'm entitled to
something in return?
>> Jack: Okay, here's something.
Some sage advice.
Walk away from this fight.
>> Audra: I can't and I won't.
>> Jack: You will never
beat Victor
and I highly doubt
you will ever run
Glissade again.
>> Audra: Watch me.
>> Adam: By staying silent,
you are only helping Victor hurt
the people that you care about.
>> Michael: Like I said,
I'm not the confidant
to your father that
you think I am.
>> Adam: Michael, I know exactly
who you are and the fact that
you are working so hard
to convince me otherwise only
makes me more sure that
Victor's plan,
it's even worse than I thought.
[ knocking on door ]
>> Victor: Come in.
>> Michael: I just had the most
interesting conversation
with your son.
>> Victor: And?
>> Michael: He seems to be
deeply concerned about
your plans for Jack Abbott.
>> Victor: You didn't give
anything away, did you?
>> Michael: I didn't have much
to give, save the few tidbits
that Adam managed to piece
together on his own.
[ Victor sighing ]
>> Victor: Why my son feels
any loyalty to the likes of
Jack Abbott is just beyond me.
>> Michael: Well, it could be
a simple case of
human compassion.
After all, Jack seems to be
suffering these days,
quite publicly, I might add.
>> Victor: Oh, really? Oh.
>> Michael: Well,
uh, there may be another
reason for Adam's resistance.
>> Victor: What's that?
>> Michael: It's possible that
he feels that you are, um,
you are exploiting Kyle
for your own gain, which,
to be fair, you have done in
the past with Adam himself.
And since you are using his
position at Newman Media as
a sort of attack dog for your
enemies, it's possible he may
feel exploited at the moment.
>> Victor: I'm running
a giant business.
I gave my son an extraordinary
position, a powerful position
running Newman Media.
If he fails to execute his
duties, I fire his ass.
>> Phyllis: Oh, no,
I am confident that I can
convince Jill that I am the one
and the only one that can
help you take Abbott-Chancellor
to the next level.
>> Billy: That's a tall order.
>> Phyllis: I can fill it.
I can convince your mom that
I'm an asset, not a, wait, what
did she call me? A mistake.
>> Billy: If your
strategy fails, I guarantee you
my mother will do good on
her threat to unseat me
and wrestle back control of
this company, okay?
If I simply let you try that,
I would be gambling my position
here, everything I worked for,
and I am not going to do that,
Phyllis. I can't.
>> Phyllis: I don't care.
I need this.
So, you either let me win Jill
over or you fire me
and be your mommy's puppet
dancing on a string.
>> Chance: All right,
we're done here for now.
There's gonna need to be a more
thorough search of this
apartment, though.
>> Daniel: Look at me,
look at me.
>> Chance: Back up, back up.
>> Daniel: Do you really think
that I had anything to do
with Heather's death?
>> Chance: You're gonna need
to make other
living arrangements.
Do you hear me?
>> Daniel: You have any idea
the hell that I've been
through already?
I can't even sleep in the same
bed that we used to share.
Every time that front door
opens up, I hold my breath and
I pray that it's her that's
walking through it so this
nightmare will be over because
I loved her.
I love my daughter.
I love what the three of us had.
That was everything to me.
>> Chance: Daniel, listen to me.
Because of the evidence that
I just found, this is now
considered a crime scene.
You and Lucy cannot stay here.
Do you understand?
>> Daniel: Come on, you are not
doing this right now.
>> Chance: Yes, I am.
>> Daniel: You don't think that
we've already been through
enough and what about Lucy, huh?
What do you think that's gonna
do to her, kicking her out of
her home?
>> Chance: Forensics will be
here soon.
You need to leave.
Now.
