1
00:00:16,583 --> 00:00:19,386
>> Diane: Jack, Kyle, what's --
what's the problem?
2
00:00:19,452 --> 00:00:20,587
>> Jack: You.
3
00:00:20,653 --> 00:00:22,222
>> Diane: Wh-- Police?
4
00:00:22,288 --> 00:00:23,423
>> Kyle: This is her.
5
00:00:23,490 --> 00:00:25,024
>> Diane: [ Scoffs ]
Wait, what have I done?
6
00:00:25,091 --> 00:00:26,226
>> Ready to press charges?
7
00:00:26,292 --> 00:00:28,328
>> Kyle: I have waited my entire
life.
8
00:00:28,395 --> 00:00:29,262
>> Diane: Charges?
9
00:00:29,329 --> 00:00:31,598
>> Jack: We're charging you with
abandonment.
10
00:00:31,664 --> 00:00:33,266
>> Diane: [ Scoffs ] No.
11
00:00:33,333 --> 00:00:35,034
No, you don't understand.
12
00:00:35,101 --> 00:00:35,935
>> Jack: Oh, I understand.
13
00:00:36,002 --> 00:00:36,836
I understand plenty well.
14
00:00:36,903 --> 00:00:37,771
You're a liar.
15
00:00:37,837 --> 00:00:39,005
You're a coward.
16
00:00:39,072 --> 00:00:41,374
You said you wanted to have a
child more than anything in the
17
00:00:41,441 --> 00:00:42,275
world.
18
00:00:42,342 --> 00:00:43,510
You didn't have the patience to
raise him.
19
00:00:43,576 --> 00:00:46,379
You couldn't wait to get out of
town to avoid the pandemonium
20
00:00:46,446 --> 00:00:47,247
you created.
21
00:00:47,313 --> 00:00:48,915
>> Diane: No, no, it wasn't like
that.
22
00:00:48,982 --> 00:00:50,650
Besides, I'm a good person now.
23
00:00:50,717 --> 00:00:54,087
>> Jack: You turned your back on
your own child.
24
00:00:54,154 --> 00:00:56,523
>> Diane: [ Exhales sharply ]
>> Jack: You know, when you have
25
00:01:13,706 --> 00:01:16,609
a little kid, you assume they're
gonna go along with pretty much
26
00:01:16,676 --> 00:01:20,180
everything you say, the way you
think.
27
00:01:20,246 --> 00:01:22,315
And then they grow up and have
opinions of their own.
28
00:01:22,382 --> 00:01:24,551
>> Kyle: Mm. The nerve.
29
00:01:24,617 --> 00:01:28,121
>> Jack: Not the easiest thing
in the world, encourage your son
30
00:01:28,188 --> 00:01:31,658
to chart his own path and -- and
watch him make decisions that
31
00:01:31,724 --> 00:01:33,059
make you a little nervous.
32
00:01:33,126 --> 00:01:35,662
>> Kyle: I know Harrison will
eventually get there.
33
00:01:35,728 --> 00:01:38,832
I'm already dreading it.
34
00:01:38,898 --> 00:01:41,968
>> Jack: Have you been in touch
with your mother since you told
35
00:01:42,035 --> 00:01:45,004
her you were gonna give her a
chance to prove herself?
36
00:01:45,071 --> 00:01:46,906
>> Kyle: Nope.
37
00:01:46,973 --> 00:01:48,775
>> Jack: Having second thoughts?
38
00:01:48,842 --> 00:01:50,844
>> Kyle: Big time.

00:02:31,618 --> 00:02:33,186

>> Lily: I did.
47
00:02:33,887 --> 00:02:34,988
>> Billy: You did? Great.
48
00:02:35,054 --> 00:02:37,524
Did you get me a cute little
teapot with a cute little cup?
49
00:02:37,590 --> 00:02:40,126
I need to keep my vocal cords
all nice and smooth for my
50
00:02:40,193 --> 00:02:41,294
podcast.

Am I in the doghouse?
54
00:02:48,902 --> 00:02:51,304
>> Lily: I am concerned.
55
00:02:51,371 --> 00:02:53,439
>> Billy: Okay, but have you
seen the numbers?
56
00:02:53,506 --> 00:02:56,709
Because it's doing pretty well
for a brand-new series.
57
00:02:56,776 --> 00:02:58,478
>> Lily: Billy --
>> Billy: I did all the things
58
00:02:58,545 --> 00:02:59,512
that we talked about doing.
59
00:02:59,579 --> 00:03:00,613
I altered my voice.
60
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,483
I made all the names and
locations anonymous to protect
61
00:03:03,550 --> 00:03:04,751
the guilty.
62
00:03:04,817 --> 00:03:06,019
>> Lily: It doesn't matter.
63
00:03:06,085 --> 00:03:08,421
It's gonna take two seconds for
anyone close to the situation to
64
00:03:08,488 --> 00:03:11,124
know that you're talking about
Ashland.
65
00:03:11,190 --> 00:03:15,695
>> Billy: Well, if the
sociopathic shoe fits...
66
00:03:15,762 --> 00:03:19,332
>> Adam: So first Victoria says
she doesn't need a partner,
67
00:03:19,399 --> 00:03:24,571
then, suddenly, out of nowhere,
she appoints Nikki as co-CEO.
68
00:03:24,637 --> 00:03:25,905
That spot should've been mine.
69
00:03:25,972 --> 00:03:30,944
>> Sally: [ Sighs ]
Did Victor back her up?
70
00:03:31,010 --> 00:03:33,646
>> Adam: [ Sighs ]
She said it was a unilateral
71
00:03:33,713 --> 00:03:37,784
decision, that she didn't need
our father's approval, which is
72
00:03:37,850 --> 00:03:38,985
untrue.
73
00:03:39,052 --> 00:03:41,254
He would have to sign off on
something like that, which means
74
00:03:41,321 --> 00:03:43,289
he did.
75
00:03:43,356 --> 00:03:45,959
And word is already spreading to
the company of Nikki's
76
00:03:46,025 --> 00:03:49,963
appointment, and did anybody
bother warning me about it?
77
00:03:50,029 --> 00:03:53,199
Just another one of my dad's
mind games, another game of
78
00:03:53,266 --> 00:03:56,836
musical chairs, when once again
I'm standing here being left out
79
00:03:56,903 --> 00:03:59,238
in the cold.
80
00:03:59,305 --> 00:04:01,574
>> Sally: [ Sighs ]
So Victoria lets Ashland get his
81
00:04:01,641 --> 00:04:04,444
hooks into the company, and then
once he's out, she just goes
82
00:04:04,510 --> 00:04:07,313
back to business like nothing
happened, like she wasn't the
83
00:04:07,380 --> 00:04:11,384
cause of all this chaos.
84
00:04:11,451 --> 00:04:13,620
>> Adam: [ Sighs ]
I don't know why I waste my time
85
00:04:13,686 --> 00:04:15,989
hoping that they'll give me a
chance.
86
00:04:16,055 --> 00:04:17,757
It's never gonna happen.
87
00:04:17,824 --> 00:04:21,861
I mean, this is our pattern.
88
00:04:21,928 --> 00:04:24,364
>> Sally: I hate seeing them put
you through the wringer,
89
00:04:24,430 --> 00:04:27,000
especially since it is clear to
me that you don't need any of
90
00:04:27,066 --> 00:04:29,268
them.
91
00:04:29,335 --> 00:04:33,740
>> Adam: [ Sighs ]
Any suggestions on what I should
92
00:04:33,806 --> 00:04:36,242
do about it?
93
00:04:36,309 --> 00:04:38,778
>> Sally: Strike out on your
own.
94
00:04:38,845 --> 00:04:40,847
Cut ties with the Newmans
altogether.
95
00:04:48,721 --> 00:04:49,489
>> Adam: Cutting ties?
96
00:04:49,555 --> 00:04:51,090
I have done that.
97
00:04:51,157 --> 00:04:52,625
More than once.
98
00:04:52,692 --> 00:04:54,927
I'm not sure I want to do it
again.
99
00:04:54,994 --> 00:04:56,496
>> Sally: Why not?
100
00:04:56,562 --> 00:05:00,800
Maybe your mistake was returning
to the Newman family fold.
101
00:05:00,867 --> 00:05:04,437
>> Adam: Look, here's the thing,
my dad has this seemingly blind
102
00:05:04,504 --> 00:05:07,640
acceptance of Victoria's
leadership abilities no matter
103
00:05:07,707 --> 00:05:10,209
how many times she screws up.
104
00:05:10,276 --> 00:05:13,713
And as long as she is in charge,
she's gonna cut me out, so if I
105
00:05:13,780 --> 00:05:17,083
walk away, it just feels like
I'm conceding, like I'm letting
106
00:05:17,150 --> 00:05:19,118
her win.
107
00:05:19,185 --> 00:05:21,954
>> Sally: Would that really be
the worst thing in the world?
108
00:05:22,021 --> 00:05:26,359
>> Adam: Um...I'm the one that
came up with the idea to get
109
00:05:26,426 --> 00:05:27,894
Locke out for good.
110
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,263
I am the one that should be
rewarded for that.
111
00:05:30,329 --> 00:05:33,399
She is still in my way, and she
still refuses to acknowledge
112
00:05:33,466 --> 00:05:35,168
that I'm the one that saved her.
113
00:05:35,234 --> 00:05:36,936
So why should I give her what
she wants?
114
00:05:37,003 --> 00:05:39,439
>> Sally: You said it
yourself -- Victor could've
115
00:05:39,505 --> 00:05:42,341
stepped in and vetoed Victoria's
decision to promote Nikki.
116
00:05:42,408 --> 00:05:45,912
But he didn't, he let it stand
in a transparent ploy to block
117
00:05:45,978 --> 00:05:49,549
you from what you deserve, what
you earned.
118
00:05:49,615 --> 00:05:52,085
You have come way too far and
you have done way too much to
119
00:05:52,151 --> 00:05:56,255
prove yourself to your family,
and it is never enough.
120
00:05:56,322 --> 00:05:58,224
>> Adam: Well, thanks for
rubbing in in.
121
00:05:58,291 --> 00:06:02,829
>> Sally: No, my point is if
they are not gonna show you the
122
00:06:02,895 --> 00:06:05,031
respect that you have been
looking for, then why stick
123
00:06:05,098 --> 00:06:06,566
around?
124
00:06:06,632 --> 00:06:08,534
You don't need them.
125
00:06:08,601 --> 00:06:14,774
You're talented and inspired
and capable of making brilliant
126
00:06:14,841 --> 00:06:19,412
moves on your own.
127
00:06:19,479 --> 00:06:23,916
>> Adam: Okay, so let's say I
did what you're proposing and I
128
00:06:23,983 --> 00:06:27,987
cut all ties and I walked away
from all things Newman,
129
00:06:28,054 --> 00:06:31,858
including running Newman Media,
and I left you here on your own
130
00:06:31,924 --> 00:06:34,260
to deal with my family.
131
00:06:34,327 --> 00:06:36,429
Would you really be okay with
that?
132
00:06:36,496 --> 00:06:39,632
>> Sally: [ Sighs ]
>> Jack: You abandoned Kyle.
133
00:06:48,141 --> 00:06:51,110
>> Diane: No, I walked away
because that's what was best.
134
00:06:51,177 --> 00:06:51,944
>> Jack: For you!
135
00:06:52,011 --> 00:06:53,412
>> Diane: No, for Kyle!
136
00:06:53,479 --> 00:06:54,814
Please, I love my son.
137
00:06:54,881 --> 00:06:55,715
>> Jack: Lies.
138
00:06:55,782 --> 00:06:57,784
>> Diane: No! I do!
139
00:06:57,850 --> 00:07:00,486
>> Jack: She walked away and
never looked back.
140
00:07:00,553 --> 00:07:02,288
>> Diane: Why are you doing
this?
141
00:07:02,355 --> 00:07:04,323
It was the hardest decision of
my life.
142
00:07:04,390 --> 00:07:05,758
>> Kyle: She's a complete fraud.
143
00:07:05,825 --> 00:07:06,592
Can't be trusted.
144
00:07:06,659 --> 00:07:08,327
Don't buy a word of it.
145
00:07:08,394 --> 00:07:10,663
>> Jack: Never looked back.
146
00:07:10,730 --> 00:07:13,099
>> Diane: There was an empty,
broken place in my heart without
147
00:07:13,166 --> 00:07:15,601
you, and it started to heal when
you said you'd give me a second
148
00:07:15,668 --> 00:07:16,502
chance.
149
00:07:16,569 --> 00:07:17,804
Please don't take this away from
me, Kyle.
150
00:07:17,870 --> 00:07:20,506
>> A mother letting her kid
think she's dead -- that's as
151
00:07:20,573 --> 00:07:21,340
low as it gets.
152
00:07:21,407 --> 00:07:22,942
>> Diane: I didn't want to
abandon him.
153
00:07:23,009 --> 00:07:23,943
I wanted to come back.
154
00:07:24,010 --> 00:07:25,945
>> Jack: You know how you can
tell she's lying?
155
00:07:26,012 --> 00:07:27,446
She's moving her mouth.
156
00:07:27,513 --> 00:07:28,548
>> Kyle: Mm.
157
00:07:28,614 --> 00:07:30,616
>> Diane: I wanted you with me
every day, Kyle, but you
158
00:07:30,683 --> 00:07:31,784
deserved better.
159
00:07:31,851 --> 00:07:34,453
You deserved a stable, safe
place where you could have the
160
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:35,955
best that life had to offer.
161
00:07:36,022 --> 00:07:37,323
>> You have the right to remain
silent.
162
00:07:37,390 --> 00:07:39,492
>> Diane: [ Exhales sharply ]
>> Kyle: She's a prodigious liar
163
00:07:39,559 --> 00:07:40,760
so that's not gonna happen.
164
00:07:40,827 --> 00:07:41,794
>> And the right to an attorney.
165
00:07:41,861 --> 00:07:44,063
>> Kyle: She'll never find one
to take this case.
166
00:07:44,130 --> 00:07:46,833
>> Jack: Defending a woman who
left her boy motherless?
167
00:07:46,899 --> 00:07:49,468
>> Diane: Please, please.
168
00:07:49,535 --> 00:07:51,904
No! No, you don't understand.
169
00:07:51,971 --> 00:07:53,406
>> Jack: Have some dignity.
170
00:07:53,472 --> 00:07:55,007
Do the right thing for once.
171
00:07:55,074 --> 00:07:55,908
Go!
172
00:07:55,975 --> 00:07:58,845
>> Diane: No!
173
00:08:12,158 --> 00:08:16,529
[ Sighs ]
>> Jack: Ooh, stealing
174
00:08:16,596 --> 00:08:17,530
Harrison's cookies.
175
00:08:17,597 --> 00:08:19,432
>> Kyle: Mm, I won't tell if you
don't.
176
00:08:19,498 --> 00:08:21,300
>> Jack: I'll pass.
177
00:08:21,367 --> 00:08:26,639
>> Kyle: Not that I ever want to
keep things from my son.
178
00:08:26,706 --> 00:08:29,709
I like to think I haven't
inherited my mother's bad
179
00:08:29,775 --> 00:08:31,677
habits.
180
00:08:31,744 --> 00:08:33,779
>> Jack: I can see this is
really weighing on you.
181
00:08:33,846 --> 00:08:36,048
>> Kyle: Can't sleep.
182
00:08:36,115 --> 00:08:38,417
Every time I close my eyes, I
think about the awful things
183
00:08:38,484 --> 00:08:39,518
she's done.
184
00:08:39,585 --> 00:08:43,623
How she's hurt people I love,
and how am I supposed to
185
00:08:43,689 --> 00:08:47,693
reconcile that woman, the one
who walked away when I was so
186
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:50,963
young, to the woman that she
says she is now?
187
00:08:51,030 --> 00:08:53,499
>> Jack: Believe, I understand
how complicated your situation
188
00:08:53,566 --> 00:08:54,600
is.
189
00:08:54,667 --> 00:08:55,935
>> Kyle: And she says that she
turned her life around.
190
00:08:56,002 --> 00:08:59,705
That she recreated herself, and
the last time I saw her, before
191
00:08:59,772 --> 00:09:03,242
she sent me away, before she
changed my name, she promised
192
00:09:03,309 --> 00:09:06,712
that she was going to join me,
but then she chose to vanish
193
00:09:06,779 --> 00:09:07,613
from my life.
194
00:09:07,680 --> 00:09:11,651
[ Stammers ]
Pretend she was dead.
195
00:09:11,717 --> 00:09:14,086
>> Jack: Did she maybe share
with you her reasoning in making
196
00:09:14,153 --> 00:09:15,621
those decisions?
197
00:09:15,688 --> 00:09:19,392
>> Kyle: Yeah, they -- they all
sounded plausible.
198
00:09:19,458 --> 00:09:21,627
And -- And potentially
rehearsed.
199
00:09:21,694 --> 00:09:23,162
I...
200
00:09:23,229 --> 00:09:25,898
Like she had been waiting for
the chance to say them all to my
201
00:09:25,965 --> 00:09:27,199
face.
202
00:09:27,266 --> 00:09:30,336
>> Jack: And that's what's
keeping you awake at night.
203
00:09:30,403 --> 00:09:33,005
>> Kyle: Yeah.
204
00:09:33,072 --> 00:09:35,875
>> Jack: So what are you gonna
do about it?
205
00:09:35,942 --> 00:09:38,311
>> Kyle: I don't know.
206
00:09:38,377 --> 00:09:45,484
We've heard all the facts, what
Mom did, what she said.
207
00:09:45,551 --> 00:09:49,088
I need to know how you feel
about all this.
208
00:09:49,155 --> 00:09:51,157
What -- What's your gut telling
you?
209
00:09:59,932 --> 00:10:03,402
>> Jack: Kyle, I made a promise
to myself not to interfere, not
210
00:10:03,469 --> 00:10:06,806
to try to influence how you felt
about your mother and her story.
211
00:10:06,872 --> 00:10:10,242
>> Kyle: Yeah, and I appreciate
that you've managed to put your
212
00:10:10,309 --> 00:10:13,612
own personal feelings aside and
encourage me to walk into this
213
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:16,949
with an open mind, but now that
I've heard her out, I need to
214
00:10:17,016 --> 00:10:20,286
unravel whether I believe she's
changed into a good, trustworthy
215
00:10:20,353 --> 00:10:24,557
person, or if it's the little
kid in me that's wishing it were
216
00:10:24,623 --> 00:10:25,958
true.
217
00:10:26,025 --> 00:10:27,660
>> Jack: And you want to be
objective.
218
00:10:27,727 --> 00:10:29,628
>> Kyle: And I don't think I can
be.
219
00:10:29,695 --> 00:10:31,497
>> Jack: So you've come to me
for that.
220
00:10:31,564 --> 00:10:33,632
>> Kyle: Dads have all the
answers.
221
00:10:33,699 --> 00:10:35,134
At least that's what Harrison
says.
222
00:10:35,201 --> 00:10:36,802
>> Jack: Yeah, I remember that.
223
00:10:36,869 --> 00:10:38,170
Cherish that.
224
00:10:38,237 --> 00:10:39,405
>> Kyle: I do.
225
00:10:39,472 --> 00:10:42,808
>> Jack: Kyle, for the last few
days, I have puzzled over the
226
00:10:42,875 --> 00:10:46,645
same questions that have
bedeviled you.
227
00:10:46,712 --> 00:10:51,317
Why did Diane come back now of
all times to reveal that she's
228
00:10:51,384 --> 00:10:52,918
still alive?
229
00:10:52,985 --> 00:10:54,453
Can we still believe her?
230
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:55,688
>> Kyle: Bingo.
231
00:10:55,755 --> 00:10:58,724
>> Jack: I have asked for the
benefit of the doubt more times
232
00:10:58,791 --> 00:11:01,794
than I can count, so I put
myself in Diane's shoes when she
233
00:11:01,861 --> 00:11:05,464
made that horrible decision all
those years ago, tried to
234
00:11:05,531 --> 00:11:09,502
explain to myself why I would
leave my child behind.
235
00:11:09,568 --> 00:11:13,039
>> Kyle: Given that the original
plan, the one she worked out
236
00:11:13,105 --> 00:11:16,742
with Adam, was so that she could
fake her own death so she could
237
00:11:16,809 --> 00:11:17,877
leave with me.
238
00:11:17,943 --> 00:11:21,447
>> Jack: Diane claims she
changed her mind, that she
239
00:11:21,514 --> 00:11:24,950
didn't want that future for you,
living on the run.
240
00:11:25,017 --> 00:11:28,421
She didn't believe I would ever
give up on trying to find either
241
00:11:28,487 --> 00:11:30,523
of you.
242
00:11:30,589 --> 00:11:32,324
And she's 100% right about that.
243
00:11:32,391 --> 00:11:34,693
>> Kyle: But if she had just
come to me from the beginning
244
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:36,162
and tried to explain, we
could --
245
00:11:36,228 --> 00:11:37,596
>> Jack: Kyle, listen to me.
246
00:11:37,663 --> 00:11:38,664
You were very young.
247
00:11:38,731 --> 00:11:40,232
Would you have understood?
248
00:11:40,299 --> 00:11:42,401
And would it have been any
better, knowing that she's out
249
00:11:42,468 --> 00:11:47,206
there somewhere without you?
250
00:11:47,273 --> 00:11:50,042
You'd have spent your life
asking questions that would have
251
00:11:50,109 --> 00:11:52,945
made you a completely different
man, and I happen to love the
252
00:11:53,012 --> 00:11:56,182
man you have become.
253
00:11:56,248 --> 00:12:02,888
So maybe, just maybe, this one
time, Diane made the right
254
00:12:02,955 --> 00:12:11,464
choice in leaving the way she
did.
255
00:12:11,530 --> 00:12:17,136
>> Sally: Have I told you how
much I hate hypotheticals?
256
00:12:17,203 --> 00:12:20,072
>> Adam: You've never imagined
it?
257
00:12:20,139 --> 00:12:22,541
>> Sally: What I would do if you
noped out of Newman and left me
258
00:12:22,608 --> 00:12:26,278
here alone?
259
00:12:26,345 --> 00:12:31,217
>> Adam: Would you stay or would
you go?
260
00:12:31,283 --> 00:12:36,021
>> Sally: I would keep my job
and do my best to win your
261
00:12:36,088 --> 00:12:37,556
entire family over.
262
00:12:37,623 --> 00:12:40,159
>> Adam: Why?
263
00:12:40,226 --> 00:12:43,829
>> Sally: Because, aside from
the fact that I love my job and
264
00:12:43,896 --> 00:12:47,166
that I have absolute faith that
we will be phenomenally
265
00:12:47,233 --> 00:12:51,871
successful wherever we choose to
be, do you know how rare this
266
00:12:51,937 --> 00:12:53,105
is?
267
00:12:53,172 --> 00:12:56,208
To find someone who thinks the
way that you do, who believes in
268
00:12:56,275 --> 00:13:02,982
you, who makes you laugh, who
wants what you want?
269
00:13:03,048 --> 00:13:06,085
Have you ever met anyone like
that?
270
00:13:06,152 --> 00:13:11,290
>> Adam: Yeah. Once.
271
00:13:11,357 --> 00:13:13,926
>> Sally: For the first time, I
actually feel like I'm meeting
272
00:13:13,993 --> 00:13:15,161
someone on my level.
273
00:13:15,227 --> 00:13:17,897
That is why we work, because we
take each other exactly how we
274
00:13:17,963 --> 00:13:19,131
are.
275
00:13:19,198 --> 00:13:22,535
I don't need you to be the good
or the bad version of yourself
276
00:13:22,601 --> 00:13:26,639
or what everyone else expects
you to be.
277
00:13:26,705 --> 00:13:29,575
>> Adam: What -- What do you
want?
278
00:13:29,642 --> 00:13:32,311
>> Sally: Just you.
279
00:13:32,378 --> 00:13:36,682
All of you.
280
00:13:36,749 --> 00:13:42,588
>> Adam: [ Sighs ]
Look, knowing that you are
281
00:13:42,655 --> 00:13:46,225
willing to brave my family, it
should make the decision to walk
282
00:13:46,292 --> 00:13:48,093
away easier.
283
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:51,764
But it just -- it feels
different this time.
284
00:13:51,830 --> 00:13:58,204
I don't know if -- if I'm older
and wiser or it's knowing that
285
00:13:58,270 --> 00:14:01,774
someone has my back.
286
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:07,279
But now I just -- it feels like
walking away, I would be giving
287
00:14:07,346 --> 00:14:11,217
up instead of doing something on
my own terms.
288
00:14:11,283 --> 00:14:14,787
On the other hand, despite my
best efforts, I could just be
289
00:14:14,853 --> 00:14:18,357
falling for my dad's games,
craving the look of approval in
290
00:14:18,424 --> 00:14:20,426
his eyes.
291
00:14:20,492 --> 00:14:21,827
>> Sally: Yeah.
292
00:14:21,894 --> 00:14:23,963
His opinion will always mean
something to you, no matter
293
00:14:24,029 --> 00:14:25,030
what.
294
00:14:28,133 --> 00:14:31,470
>> Adam: I just don't think that
I can ignore the challenge that
295
00:14:31,537 --> 00:14:35,741
Victoria threw down by hiring
Nikki over me.
296
00:14:35,808 --> 00:14:37,910
>> Sally: You shouldn't have to
battle for recognition,
297
00:14:37,977 --> 00:14:41,880
especially after everything
you've done for your family.
298
00:14:41,947 --> 00:14:48,153
But if you choose to stay and
fight, I will still be here.
299
00:14:48,220 --> 00:14:51,924
And if you want to just walk
away and turn your back on all
300
00:14:51,991 --> 00:14:53,459
of them, then I will stand by
you.
301
00:14:53,525 --> 00:14:57,196
Either way, I will support you.
302
00:14:57,263 --> 00:15:00,966
I'll weigh in with my advice and
do my best to make sure that we
303
00:15:01,033 --> 00:15:03,035
are both successful.
304
00:15:08,540 --> 00:15:11,877
>> Adam: So I guess the only
thing now is to consider what is
305
00:15:11,944 --> 00:15:15,414
best for me right now.
306
00:15:15,481 --> 00:15:17,316
>> Sally: But I will continue to
tell you that you deserve
307
00:15:17,383 --> 00:15:19,885
better.
308
00:15:19,952 --> 00:15:34,033
And then I will kiss you to
drive the point home.
309
00:15:34,099 --> 00:15:37,803
>> Billy: The whole point of
recording a second voice-altered
310
00:15:37,870 --> 00:15:41,106
podcast was so I could talk
about the issues that
311
00:15:41,173 --> 00:15:45,511
Billy Abbott needs to publicly
distance himself from.
312
00:15:45,577 --> 00:15:47,746
>> Lily: Look, if you try to
convince me that two Billys are
313
00:15:47,813 --> 00:15:50,282
better than one --
>> Billy: Well, just hear me out
314
00:15:50,349 --> 00:15:53,519
for a second, because the way I
see it, Billy One is your
315
00:15:53,585 --> 00:15:54,887
right-hand man.
316
00:15:54,953 --> 00:16:01,260
Billy Two is untamed, a rebel
that answers to no one.
317
00:16:01,327 --> 00:16:03,829
>> Lily: Look, you know I love
the idea of the anonymous
318
00:16:03,896 --> 00:16:06,565
podcast where you can talk about
what you want without there
319
00:16:06,632 --> 00:16:08,267
being any blowback to the
company.
320
00:16:08,334 --> 00:16:11,103
>> Billy: I love your ability to
say "but" without actually
321
00:16:11,170 --> 00:16:12,171
saying "but."
322
00:16:12,237 --> 00:16:14,473
>> Lily: You have a
confrontation with Ashland, then
323
00:16:14,540 --> 00:16:16,909
you turn right around and vent
about it on a podcast?
324
00:16:16,975 --> 00:16:18,143
>> Billy: I didn't mention our
names.
325
00:16:18,210 --> 00:16:19,912
>> Lily: It doesn't matter.
326
00:16:19,978 --> 00:16:21,747
Anyone can connect the dots.
327
00:16:21,814 --> 00:16:24,817
>> Billy: I think you're worried
about it because you know the
328
00:16:24,883 --> 00:16:26,051
players.
329
00:16:26,118 --> 00:16:30,255
So think about it for a second
without picturing the snake that
330
00:16:30,322 --> 00:16:32,491
we all know very, very well.
331
00:16:32,558 --> 00:16:35,994
I could've been talking about
any other mogul who has used
332
00:16:36,061 --> 00:16:39,031
manipulation and deceit to rise
to power.
333
00:16:39,098 --> 00:16:42,201
And that is what the average
listener is going to hear.
334
00:16:42,267 --> 00:16:44,570
>> Lily: Yeah, and I really hope
that you're right.
335
00:16:44,636 --> 00:16:47,706
And look, I agree with the
message that you sent, but be
336
00:16:47,773 --> 00:16:52,311
prepared if certain people --
like Victoria -- see beyond this
337
00:16:52,378 --> 00:16:55,114
"Grinning Soul" persona and know
that it's you putting it out
338
00:16:55,180 --> 00:16:56,181
there.
339
00:17:02,921 --> 00:17:05,157
>> Billy: Wasn't it you that
requested we not talk about
340
00:17:05,224 --> 00:17:07,626
Victoria at least for one day?
341
00:17:07,693 --> 00:17:11,230
So here's the deal.
342
00:17:11,296 --> 00:17:13,198
Did she need protecting?
343
00:17:13,265 --> 00:17:15,100
Yes, I believe she did.
344
00:17:15,167 --> 00:17:19,104
Before she found out the kind of
man that Ashland Locke was.
345
00:17:19,171 --> 00:17:21,440
But now that she knows, the
truth is out there, then I don't
346
00:17:21,507 --> 00:17:23,108
see the harm.
347
00:17:23,175 --> 00:17:25,310
>> Lily: If anyone figures out
that these stories are about
348
00:17:25,377 --> 00:17:28,981
Ashland, how do you think that's
gonna make Victoria look?
349
00:17:29,048 --> 00:17:31,850
>> Billy: Like a sympathetic
figure.
350
00:17:31,917 --> 00:17:34,753
Like a loving partner that was
deceived from the most heinous
351
00:17:34,820 --> 00:17:37,456
of men, and I hope that she
appreciates the fact that I'm
352
00:17:37,523 --> 00:17:40,058
not personally getting involved
in her problems, because you
353
00:17:40,125 --> 00:17:42,528
were right -- that would be a
bad idea.
354
00:17:42,594 --> 00:17:45,130
>> Lily: Have you thought about
what would happen if it's
355
00:17:45,197 --> 00:17:50,202
Ashland that figures out that
you're behind this?
356
00:17:50,269 --> 00:17:53,172
>> Billy: I hope he does.
357
00:17:53,238 --> 00:17:54,373
I really do.
358
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:57,276
I hope he puts together the
math, and I would pay to see the
359
00:17:57,342 --> 00:18:00,212
look on his face when he
realizes that he is the monster
360
00:18:00,279 --> 00:18:03,282
underneath the bed and that
everyone listening out there is
361
00:18:03,348 --> 00:18:05,117
putting together the story.
362
00:18:05,184 --> 00:18:08,387
Recoiling from horror at all the
lies that he's perpetrated his
363
00:18:08,454 --> 00:18:11,123
entire life, because
Ashland Locke needs to realize
364
00:18:11,190 --> 00:18:13,859
that actions have consequences.
365
00:18:16,128 --> 00:18:19,231
>> Jack: Kyle, to be clear, I am
not condoning anything else that
366
00:18:19,298 --> 00:18:22,201
Diane has done or offering any
opinions about who she is as a
367
00:18:22,267 --> 00:18:22,968
person.
368
00:18:23,035 --> 00:18:24,369
>> Kyle: Noted.
369
00:18:24,436 --> 00:18:26,905
>> Jack: She hurt a lot of
people in a lot of ways, and
370
00:18:26,972 --> 00:18:31,009
I -- I just --
>> Kyle: What is it?
371
00:18:31,076 --> 00:18:35,914
I asked you to be completely
honest with me.
372
00:18:35,981 --> 00:18:39,017
>> Jack: Kyle, if Diane had
stuck to her original plan,
373
00:18:39,084 --> 00:18:43,922
taking you with her and
disappeared, would I ever see
374
00:18:43,989 --> 00:18:45,491
you again?
375
00:18:45,557 --> 00:18:48,927
I mean, if she evaded every
effort I made to track you two
376
00:18:48,994 --> 00:18:50,162
down...
377
00:18:50,229 --> 00:18:55,567
I hate to even think what that
would have been to us.
378
00:18:55,634 --> 00:18:58,704
And I can't think about your
situation without thinking about
379
00:18:58,770 --> 00:19:00,772
my mother.
380
00:19:00,839 --> 00:19:05,410
I was absolutely gutted when she
left our family, when she --
381
00:19:05,477 --> 00:19:07,513
when she left me behind.
382
00:19:07,579 --> 00:19:10,349
I was angry for so many years,
and when she walked back into
383
00:19:10,415 --> 00:19:18,223
our lives, I wanted to slam the
door in her face.
384
00:19:18,290 --> 00:19:22,494
It is nothing short of a miracle
that before she died, we were
385
00:19:22,561 --> 00:19:28,166
able to reconcile, that I found
some understanding and some
386
00:19:28,233 --> 00:19:32,804
forgiveness.
387
00:19:32,871 --> 00:19:37,075
It's one of the greatest gifts
of my life.
388
00:19:37,142 --> 00:19:38,143
Do I want that for you?
389
00:19:38,210 --> 00:19:42,381
Absolutely, more than anything.
390
00:19:42,447 --> 00:19:47,452
Maybe this once Diane did the
right thing.
391
00:19:47,519 --> 00:19:49,221
I'm not saying she's changed.
392
00:19:49,288 --> 00:19:52,257
I'm not saying I accept
everything she's telling us on
393
00:19:52,324 --> 00:19:53,492
faith.
394
00:19:53,559 --> 00:19:58,230
I'm just saying I believe the
decision to leave you behind is
395
00:19:58,297 --> 00:20:06,772
the toughest decision she ever
made in her life.
396
00:20:06,838 --> 00:20:08,840
>> Kyle: [ Sighs ]
>> Jack: Kyle, I know that's not
397
00:20:15,547 --> 00:20:19,718
the simple answer you were
hoping to get from me.
398
00:20:19,785 --> 00:20:22,220
But there's nothing simple about
this.
399
00:20:22,287 --> 00:20:25,791
>> Kyle: You're right.
400
00:20:25,857 --> 00:20:30,162
It'd be cool if we could just
run a sim.
401
00:20:30,228 --> 00:20:31,964
>> Jack: Come again?
402
00:20:32,030 --> 00:20:34,466
>> Kyle: A simulation.
403
00:20:34,533 --> 00:20:38,036
What a future with my mother in
it would look like.
404
00:20:38,103 --> 00:20:40,772
>> Jack: And how exactly would
we pull that off?
405
00:20:40,839 --> 00:20:46,979
>> Kyle: We put her to the
Full Abbott Test.
406
00:20:47,045 --> 00:21:01,927
>> Diane: [ Sighs ]
[ Cellphone chimes ]
407
00:21:01,994 --> 00:21:06,598
>> Diane: [ Sighs ]
[ Cellphone chimes ]
408
00:21:06,665 --> 00:21:08,266
>> Jack: Thank you, Kyle.
409
00:21:08,333 --> 00:21:10,335
I'll take care of the rest.
410
00:21:19,611 --> 00:21:21,613
>> "The Young and the Restless"
will continue.
411
00:21:40,432 --> 00:21:43,435
>> Lily: Look, even the thought
of someone possibly having
412
00:21:43,502 --> 00:21:46,638
cancer can turn their life
upside down, so the fact that
413
00:21:46,705 --> 00:21:50,442
Ashland used a lie like that to
make a profit, I mean, it makes
414
00:21:50,509 --> 00:21:52,811
me angry that he's walking
around here with no care in the
415
00:21:52,878 --> 00:21:54,012
world.
416
00:21:54,079 --> 00:21:56,248
So, yes, you know, this has a
very personal thing thing for
417
00:21:56,314 --> 00:21:57,449
me.
418
00:21:57,516 --> 00:22:00,552
>> Billy: 100%, and it sounds
like we agree, so why are you
419
00:22:00,619 --> 00:22:02,854
upset about the podcast?
420
00:22:02,921 --> 00:22:05,791
>> Lily: Because I don't like
the idea of you possibly losing
421
00:22:05,857 --> 00:22:08,627
this amazing platform because
you're not being careful with
422
00:22:08,694 --> 00:22:11,830
when and how to, you know, put
this information out there.
423
00:22:11,897 --> 00:22:13,665
>> Billy: I get it, I do.
424
00:22:13,732 --> 00:22:17,135
But I really don't think that
this is going to be a blip on
425
00:22:17,202 --> 00:22:18,403
Victoria's radar.
426
00:22:18,470 --> 00:22:21,740
She's got more important things
to keep her mind on rather than
427
00:22:21,807 --> 00:22:26,144
the anonymous musings of
"The Grinning Soul."
428
00:22:26,211 --> 00:22:28,013
>> Lily: Well, I really hope
you're right.
429
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:29,614
>> Billy: I am right.
430
00:22:29,681 --> 00:22:32,184
You don't want me to be right,
because then I would pile up the
431
00:22:32,250 --> 00:22:34,586
other side of all the other
times I've been right, and then
432
00:22:34,653 --> 00:22:35,520
it'll be off-balance.
433
00:22:35,587 --> 00:22:36,955
>> Lily: Oh, my God, give me a
break.
434
00:22:37,022 --> 00:22:38,690
>> Billy: Oh, saved by a phone
call.
435
00:22:38,757 --> 00:22:39,691
>> Lily: Then answer it.
436
00:22:39,758 --> 00:22:41,259
I don't care.
437
00:22:41,326 --> 00:22:42,828
>> Billy: Jack.
438
00:22:42,894 --> 00:22:44,563
>> Jack: Drop whatever you're
doing and come to the Abbott
439
00:22:44,629 --> 00:22:45,230
house.
440
00:22:45,297 --> 00:22:46,398
I'm calling a family meeting.
441
00:22:46,465 --> 00:22:48,533
>> Billy: Okay, but what if I'm
in the middle of something
442
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:49,634
important?
443
00:22:49,701 --> 00:22:51,670
>> Jack: Nothing's more
important than supporting Kyle
444
00:22:51,737 --> 00:22:52,537
right now.
445
00:22:52,604 --> 00:22:55,107
Ashley, Traci, Abby are all on
their way.
446
00:22:55,173 --> 00:22:56,641
Hopefully I can count on you,
too.
447
00:22:56,708 --> 00:23:01,079
>> Billy: Yeah, of course, I'll
be there as soon as I can.
448
00:23:01,146 --> 00:23:02,581
>> Lily: What's going on?
449
00:23:02,647 --> 00:23:05,617
>> Billy: Jack is calling a
family meeting because it sounds
450
00:23:05,684 --> 00:23:08,587
like Kyle is back in town, and,
you know, Diane is not dead
451
00:23:08,653 --> 00:23:11,356
anymore, so sounds like a fun
occasion.
452
00:23:11,423 --> 00:23:14,092
>> Lily: Well, unlike the
Chancellor-Winters meeting
453
00:23:14,159 --> 00:23:15,761
you'll be missing.
454
00:23:15,827 --> 00:23:19,131
>> Billy: Uh, yeah, can I get a
pass on that?
455
00:23:19,197 --> 00:23:22,667
>> Lily: Uh, I really need my
COO there.
456
00:23:22,734 --> 00:23:23,869
>> Billy: Yeah, you're right.
457
00:23:23,935 --> 00:23:26,204
Wouldn't be the first time that
I show up late to a family
458
00:23:26,271 --> 00:23:27,038
gathering.
459
00:23:27,105 --> 00:23:29,107
I'll just go when I'm done.
460
00:23:29,174 --> 00:23:30,108
>> Lily: You sure?
461
00:23:30,175 --> 00:23:31,109
>> Billy: 100%.
462
00:23:31,176 --> 00:23:40,285
You and Chancellor-Winters are
my top priorities.
463
00:23:40,352 --> 00:23:43,221
>> Sally: Sneaking upstairs to a
suite here never gets old.
464
00:23:43,288 --> 00:23:48,126
>> Adam: [ Chuckles ]
Oh, my God.
465
00:23:48,193 --> 00:23:50,295
>> Sally: Adam?
466
00:23:50,362 --> 00:23:53,165
>> Adam: Diane.
467
00:23:53,231 --> 00:23:55,801
Welcome to The Resurrection
Club.
468
00:23:55,867 --> 00:23:58,837
First rule of Resurrection Club
is we don't talk about The
469
00:23:58,904 --> 00:24:00,472
Resurrection Club.
470
00:24:00,539 --> 00:24:01,640
>> Diane: Hello, Adam.
471
00:24:01,706 --> 00:24:04,442
You're not as shocked to see me
as I would've expected.
472
00:24:04,509 --> 00:24:07,312
>> Adam: Well, my father spoiled
the surprise.
473
00:24:07,379 --> 00:24:08,914
>> Diane: Oh, I should've known.
474
00:24:08,980 --> 00:24:09,447
>> Adam: Mm.
475
00:24:09,514 --> 00:24:09,981
>> Diane: Mm.
476
00:24:10,048 --> 00:24:11,616
>> Adam: Mm.
477
00:24:11,683 --> 00:24:14,252
You know, back when it really
did look like you had bought the
478
00:24:14,319 --> 00:24:16,621
farm, I wanted to send you a
"Bite me" card for leaving
479
00:24:16,688 --> 00:24:19,791
things in a way that I would be
implicated in your death, but I
480
00:24:19,858 --> 00:24:22,961
couldn't find a forwarding
address to Hell.
481
00:24:23,028 --> 00:24:25,297
>> Diane: I regret many things
about that time.
482
00:24:25,363 --> 00:24:26,865
>> Adam: How could you even
stand to look at yourself in the
483
00:24:26,932 --> 00:24:28,066
mirror?
484
00:24:28,133 --> 00:24:30,669
>> Diane: Well, I justified my
actions by telling myself how
485
00:24:30,735 --> 00:24:34,105
resourceful you were, not that
it's any excuse.
486
00:24:34,172 --> 00:24:36,441
>> Adam: Got to do what you got
to do, right?
487
00:24:36,508 --> 00:24:40,011
I mean, half the people wanted
you dead, and you did not
488
00:24:40,078 --> 00:24:41,613
disappoint.
489
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:44,249
Everyone thought you were
pushing up daisies.
490
00:24:44,316 --> 00:24:45,784
Really, it was impressive.
491
00:24:45,851 --> 00:24:48,954
But as someone who knows
firsthand -- and this is the
492
00:24:49,020 --> 00:24:51,790
second rule of
Resurrection Club -- once you've
493
00:24:51,857 --> 00:24:54,860
escaped, it's the best idea not
to come back.
494
00:25:04,936 --> 00:25:06,338
>> Sally: Hello.
495
00:25:06,404 --> 00:25:07,939
I'm Sally. Sally Spectra.
496
00:25:08,006 --> 00:25:09,774
Adam and I work together.
497
00:25:09,841 --> 00:25:11,977
>> Diane: Oh, I gather things
have progressed beyond that,
498
00:25:12,043 --> 00:25:14,379
since it appears you were headed
upstairs.
499
00:25:14,446 --> 00:25:17,148
>> Sally: [ Chuckles ]
>> Adam: You have more nerve
500
00:25:17,215 --> 00:25:21,186
than I thought, coming back to
town, staying in Phyllis' hotel.
501
00:25:21,253 --> 00:25:22,787
It's a death wish.
502
00:25:22,854 --> 00:25:24,222
Some things never change.
503
00:25:24,289 --> 00:25:25,891
>> Diane: Everything's changed.
504
00:25:25,957 --> 00:25:28,660
As I told Victor, I'm not here
to cause trouble or have
505
00:25:28,727 --> 00:25:30,262
anything to do with your family.
506
00:25:30,328 --> 00:25:33,665
I'm here for one reason only --
Kyle.
507
00:25:33,732 --> 00:25:36,868
>> Adam: Your son that you
abandoned, even though you and I
508
00:25:36,935 --> 00:25:40,205
had made a plan for you to be
able to join him and start a new
509
00:25:40,272 --> 00:25:41,306
life together.
510
00:25:41,373 --> 00:25:43,808
Hey, but plans change, right?
511
00:25:43,875 --> 00:25:49,147
>> Diane: I won't make excuses
or try to justify what I did.
512
00:25:49,214 --> 00:25:50,348
>> Adam: Smart.
513
00:25:50,415 --> 00:25:52,884
>> Diane: Yes, I don't like who
I was back then, and I'm not
514
00:25:52,951 --> 00:25:54,286
proud of the things I did.
515
00:25:54,352 --> 00:25:56,321
Something I think you can
understand.
516
00:25:56,388 --> 00:25:58,423
>> Adam: [ Exhales sharply ]
Well, I guess the
517
00:25:58,490 --> 00:26:01,593
new-and-improved Diane isn't
above taking potshots at her
518
00:26:01,660 --> 00:26:02,894
former co-conspirator.
519
00:26:02,961 --> 00:26:04,496
>> Diane: No, that's not what I
was doing.
520
00:26:04,562 --> 00:26:07,299
I've managed to keep up with
what's going on in Genoa City.
521
00:26:07,365 --> 00:26:10,535
I know that you've worked hard
to turn over a new leaf and make
522
00:26:10,602 --> 00:26:13,505
a different life for yourself.
523
00:26:13,571 --> 00:26:15,607
>> Adam: What is your point?
524
00:26:15,674 --> 00:26:18,977
>> Diane: I just want the same
thing that everyone gave you.
525
00:26:19,044 --> 00:26:21,413
A second chance.
526
00:26:21,479 --> 00:26:24,215
>> Adam: I hope that is true.
527
00:26:24,282 --> 00:26:26,785
I don't have the same kind of
beef with you that the rest do,
528
00:26:26,851 --> 00:26:31,356
so good luck, I guess.
529
00:26:31,423 --> 00:26:33,124
>> Diane: Thank you, Adam.
530
00:26:33,191 --> 00:26:34,859
Nice to meet you, Sally.
531
00:26:34,926 --> 00:26:36,928
>> Sally: You too.
532
00:26:45,103 --> 00:26:45,804
>> Abby: Kyle!
533
00:26:45,870 --> 00:26:47,539
>> Ashley: Good to see you,
Kyle.
534
00:26:47,605 --> 00:26:48,239
How are you?
535
00:26:48,306 --> 00:26:49,774
>> Kyle: Hanging in there.
536
00:26:49,841 --> 00:26:52,344
>> Traci: I have been thinking
about you nonstop since our
537
00:26:52,410 --> 00:26:54,879
chat, and I'm hoping so much
that you were able to find a
538
00:26:54,946 --> 00:26:55,914
little clarity.
539
00:26:55,981 --> 00:26:57,816
>> Jack: Billy should be here
any minute.
540
00:26:57,882 --> 00:27:00,318
I know we all have a lot of
questions, but we're kind of
541
00:27:00,385 --> 00:27:01,486
running out of time.
542
00:27:01,553 --> 00:27:01,987
>> Abby: Why?
543
00:27:02,053 --> 00:27:02,787
What's going on?
544
00:27:02,854 --> 00:27:04,089
I thought this was a family
meeting.
545
00:27:04,155 --> 00:27:07,859
>> Kyle: We're having a special
visitor arrive soon.
546
00:27:07,926 --> 00:27:10,462
>> Traci: Not --
>> Jack: Yes, her.
547
00:27:10,528 --> 00:27:12,297
>> Ashley: Diane Jenkins is
coming here?
548
00:27:12,364 --> 00:27:14,632
>> Kyle: She is.
549
00:27:14,699 --> 00:27:16,668
>> Ashley: I can't believe she
would have the nerve to come
550
00:27:16,735 --> 00:27:18,169
back to Genoa City, let alone
this house.
551
00:27:18,236 --> 00:27:21,139
>> Kyle: Actually, she's already
been here.
552
00:27:21,206 --> 00:27:22,774
This won't be my first time
seeing her.
553
00:27:22,841 --> 00:27:25,043
>> Ashley: Well, it will be your
last, if I have anything to say
554
00:27:25,110 --> 00:27:26,277
about it.
555
00:27:26,344 --> 00:27:28,313
>> Abby: If someone had told me
that Diane was gonna be at --
556
00:27:28,380 --> 00:27:29,881
>> Jack: It's why I didn't tell
you, Abby.
557
00:27:29,948 --> 00:27:31,549
>> Kyle: She claims she's
changed.
558
00:27:31,616 --> 00:27:33,351
>> Ashley: Into what, exactly?
559
00:27:33,418 --> 00:27:35,420
>> Jack: Would you let him
finish his thought, please?
560
00:27:35,487 --> 00:27:39,224
>> Kyle: She says that she spent
her time away getting her life
561
00:27:39,290 --> 00:27:40,225
together.
562
00:27:40,291 --> 00:27:42,193
>> Abby: [ Scoffs ]
Okay, should we be amused or
563
00:27:42,260 --> 00:27:42,861
afraid?
564
00:27:42,927 --> 00:27:44,529
Why is she back in Genoa City?
565
00:27:44,596 --> 00:27:48,700
>> Kyle: For me, to explain
herself and ask for forgiveness.
566
00:27:48,767 --> 00:27:50,869
>> Ashley: But you're not
actually considering forgiving
567
00:27:50,935 --> 00:27:52,103
her, right?
568
00:27:52,170 --> 00:27:54,706
Because even if she has spent
the last few years polishing her
569
00:27:54,773 --> 00:27:58,443
halo through charity and good
works, you know that it's --
570
00:27:58,510 --> 00:28:00,345
it's just an act, right?
571
00:28:00,412 --> 00:28:03,448
>> Abby: Kyle, I mean, how do
you feel about all this?
572
00:28:03,515 --> 00:28:06,151
It can't be easy finding out
that your mother's alive and
573
00:28:06,217 --> 00:28:08,420
that she wants to reconnect with
you.
574
00:28:08,486 --> 00:28:09,320
>> Ashley: Use you.
575
00:28:09,387 --> 00:28:11,189
Let's not forget who we're
talking about.
576
00:28:11,256 --> 00:28:13,558
>> Kyle: I'm not sure what to
think.
577
00:28:13,625 --> 00:28:16,628
>> Abby: After all of these
years, maybe she wants to do the
578
00:28:16,694 --> 00:28:17,796
right thing?
579
00:28:17,862 --> 00:28:20,231
>> Jack: Diane has made a very
compelling case for herself.
580
00:28:20,298 --> 00:28:21,332
>> Ashley: Oh, please.
581
00:28:21,399 --> 00:28:23,234
You don't actually believe that
she's had some kind of
582
00:28:23,301 --> 00:28:24,502
miraculous transformation.
583
00:28:24,569 --> 00:28:26,571
>> Jack: I am just as skeptical
as you are, just as wary of her
584
00:28:26,638 --> 00:28:28,740
motives, but we three know what
it is to be estranged from
585
00:28:28,807 --> 00:28:31,176
the woman who brought us --
>> Ashley: Don't you dare go
586
00:28:31,242 --> 00:28:32,444
there, Jack.
587
00:28:32,510 --> 00:28:34,546
I know our mother was a piece of
work, but she's nothing compared
588
00:28:34,612 --> 00:28:35,380
to Diane.
589
00:28:35,447 --> 00:28:36,915
>> Traci: Okay, okay, please,
please.
590
00:28:36,981 --> 00:28:38,016
Sorry, Kyle.
591
00:28:38,083 --> 00:28:40,885
We know that this is a very --
an exceedingly difficult
592
00:28:40,952 --> 00:28:42,387
situation.
593
00:28:42,454 --> 00:28:45,657
>> Abby: Kyle, look, all we want
to do is support you.
594
00:28:45,723 --> 00:28:47,692
We want to be here for you, no
matter what you choose.
595
00:28:47,759 --> 00:28:48,226
Right?
596
00:28:48,293 --> 00:28:49,260
>> Jack: Abby's right.
597
00:28:49,327 --> 00:28:51,696
That's been my approach to this
whole fiasco.
598
00:28:51,763 --> 00:28:53,331
>> Ashley: Okay.
599
00:28:53,398 --> 00:28:54,532
I'm sorry.
600
00:28:54,599 --> 00:28:57,902
And please tell us, how do you
feel now that you've actually
601
00:28:57,969 --> 00:28:59,370
spoken with your mother?
602
00:28:59,437 --> 00:29:01,039
>> Kyle: I don't know.
603
00:29:01,106 --> 00:29:03,408
I've been going back and forth
trying to figure out if she's
604
00:29:03,475 --> 00:29:07,946
lying or if she's telling the
truth, which is why I've called
605
00:29:08,012 --> 00:29:09,314
all of you here today.
606
00:29:09,380 --> 00:29:12,951
>> Jack: It is one thing for
Diane to feed Kyle a lot of
607
00:29:13,017 --> 00:29:16,087
well-rehearsed regrets and
promises to do better.
608
00:29:16,154 --> 00:29:19,290
>> Kyle: And something else
completely to have to face me
609
00:29:19,357 --> 00:29:20,492
and my family.
610
00:29:20,558 --> 00:29:22,660
See how she handles herself in
front of people who have seen
611
00:29:22,727 --> 00:29:23,895
her at her worst.
612
00:29:23,962 --> 00:29:26,564
That's how I figure out if she's
telling the truth and if she's
613
00:29:26,631 --> 00:29:30,135
sincere about being a changed
person.
614
00:29:30,201 --> 00:29:33,771
What do you say?
615
00:29:33,838 --> 00:29:35,707
>> Abby: I think we should.
616
00:29:35,773 --> 00:29:38,109
>> Traci: Might as well.
617
00:29:38,176 --> 00:29:41,379
>> Jack: Ashley, what do you
think?
618
00:29:41,446 --> 00:29:43,348
>> Ashley: Hell yes.
619
00:29:43,414 --> 00:29:45,416
Bring it on.
620
00:30:18,750 --> 00:30:20,752
>> Sally: [ Chuckles ]
621
00:30:43,041 --> 00:30:45,476
>> Ashley: So what time is
Diane's broom scheduled to get
622
00:30:45,543 --> 00:30:46,344
here?
623
00:30:46,411 --> 00:30:47,645
>> Kyle: Five minutes ago.
624
00:30:47,712 --> 00:30:49,380
>> Abby: Maybe she got cold
feet.
625
00:30:49,447 --> 00:30:51,516
>> Traci: Look, if -- if this
is going to work, if it's gonna
626
00:30:51,583 --> 00:30:53,518
get results, we have to all
stick to the plan, okay?
627
00:30:53,585 --> 00:30:56,020
>> Ashley: And maybe if we're
lucky, she got herself kicked
628
00:30:56,087 --> 00:30:56,921
out of town already.
629
00:30:56,988 --> 00:30:57,922
>> Jack: Be nice, Ash.
630
00:30:57,989 --> 00:30:59,657
>> Ashley: This is me being
nice, Jack.
631
00:30:59,724 --> 00:31:01,593
>> Kyle: Don't bother bombarding
her with old grievances.
632
00:31:01,659 --> 00:31:02,894
That's not going to get us
anywhere.
633
00:31:02,961 --> 00:31:06,264
>> Abby: I loathe her as much as
anyone, but the reason why we're
634
00:31:06,331 --> 00:31:08,800
all here is to help Kyle
discover the truth.
635
00:31:08,866 --> 00:31:11,302
>> Traci: Right, and to
understand what's on Diane's
636
00:31:11,369 --> 00:31:13,271
mind and in her heart.
637
00:31:13,338 --> 00:31:15,940
>> Ashley: And to help Kyle with
the outcome when he realizes his
638
00:31:16,007 --> 00:31:17,175
mother actually has no heart.
639
00:31:17,242 --> 00:31:18,076
>> Abby: Mom.
640
00:31:18,142 --> 00:31:20,044
>> Ashley: No, I have seen into
her soul.
641
00:31:20,111 --> 00:31:22,780
It's a deep, dark abyss.
642
00:31:22,847 --> 00:31:25,383
I do not believe that she's had
some kind of miraculous
643
00:31:25,450 --> 00:31:27,452
transformation.
644
00:31:34,926 --> 00:31:39,897
>> Adam: How are you so perfect?
645
00:31:39,964 --> 00:31:42,100
No, I mean it.
646
00:31:42,166 --> 00:31:47,038
And I'm not talking about your
face, which is a thing of
647
00:31:47,105 --> 00:31:48,640
beauty.
648
00:31:48,706 --> 00:31:53,177
Or your body and the things that
you can do with it.
649
00:31:53,244 --> 00:31:56,481
You didn't bombard me with
questions two seconds after we
650
00:31:56,547 --> 00:31:59,183
saw Diane.
651
00:31:59,250 --> 00:32:02,387
>> Sally: I knew that you would
tell me when the time was right.
652
00:32:02,453 --> 00:32:04,389
And that was definitely not the
time.
653
00:32:04,455 --> 00:32:07,225
>> Adam: Okay.
654
00:32:07,292 --> 00:32:08,226
You ready?
655
00:32:08,293 --> 00:32:09,394
>> Sally: Yes!
656
00:32:09,460 --> 00:32:11,095
Yes, I have been dying to hear
all about this woman since I
657
00:32:11,162 --> 00:32:13,431
first heard her name, and now
that I've seen her in the flesh,
658
00:32:13,498 --> 00:32:17,335
I'm like 1,000 times more
curious.
659
00:32:17,402 --> 00:32:20,905
>> Adam: Diane is driven.
660
00:32:20,972 --> 00:32:22,740
She's obsessed.
661
00:32:22,807 --> 00:32:25,176
She will stop at nothing to get
what she wants.
662
00:32:25,243 --> 00:32:28,246
And not in a good way, like you.
663
00:32:28,313 --> 00:32:33,151
And I wouldn't hesitate helping
her when it would work to my
664
00:32:33,217 --> 00:32:35,186
advantage.
665
00:32:35,253 --> 00:32:38,323
>> Sally: In what way?
666
00:32:38,389 --> 00:32:42,093
>> Adam: We worked together to
make it look like Victor was
667
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:48,566
dead to drive down the price of
the Newman stock.
668
00:32:48,633 --> 00:32:50,301
>> Sally: You didn't.
669
00:32:50,368 --> 00:32:53,471
>> Adam: Made a pretty sizable
profit, too.
670
00:32:53,538 --> 00:32:56,574
That was the kind of
relationship that we had.
671
00:32:56,641 --> 00:32:59,877
I agreed that I would help her
escape the mess that she had
672
00:32:59,944 --> 00:33:03,514
made of her life, evade Jack,
and start a new life with her
673
00:33:03,581 --> 00:33:04,982
son.
674
00:33:05,049 --> 00:33:07,285
And that is that.
675
00:33:07,352 --> 00:33:08,586
>> Sally: Wow.
676
00:33:08,653 --> 00:33:11,723
>> Adam: Yeah, I did a lot of
things back then that I wasn't
677
00:33:11,789 --> 00:33:14,926
proud of, but I'd like to think
that that scheme at least was
678
00:33:14,992 --> 00:33:16,327
semi-noble.
679
00:33:16,394 --> 00:33:19,497
>> Sally: Well, Diane's right,
you definitely have changed.
680
00:33:19,564 --> 00:33:21,899
You've grown.
681
00:33:21,966 --> 00:33:23,301
>> Adam: Well, what can I say?
682
00:33:23,368 --> 00:33:27,372
I'm a work in progress.
683
00:33:27,438 --> 00:33:32,577
No, but all kidding aside, I'm
glad that you're in my corner.
684
00:33:32,643 --> 00:33:37,181
It's nice being with someone who
is "meeting me on my level."
685
00:33:37,248 --> 00:33:44,288
>> Sally: [ Chuckles ]
Yes, it's a rare thing.
686
00:33:44,355 --> 00:33:49,594
So what are you gonna do about
your family's latest move?
687
00:33:49,660 --> 00:33:51,763
>> Adam: I'm not sure.
688
00:33:51,829 --> 00:34:06,711
>> Sally: Well, I will take this
ride with you wherever it goes.
689
00:34:06,778 --> 00:34:14,085
>> Sally: Well, I will take this
ride with you wherever it goes.
690
00:34:14,152 --> 00:34:15,186
>> Kyle: Thanks for coming.
691
00:34:15,253 --> 00:34:19,824
>> Diane: Yeah, I was so excited
when I got your text.
692
00:34:19,891 --> 00:34:26,297
>> Kyle: Right this way.
693
00:34:26,364 --> 00:34:28,633
>> Diane: Oh.
694
00:34:28,699 --> 00:34:33,704
[ Chuckles ]
I see what this is.
695
00:34:33,771 --> 00:34:35,706
>> Ashley: You have no idea.
696
00:34:35,773 --> 00:34:37,308
Welcome back, bitch.
697
00:34:37,375 --> 00:34:38,743
>> Diane: Ashley.
698
00:34:38,810 --> 00:34:40,378
>> Ashley: You look pretty good
for a dead person.
699
00:34:40,445 --> 00:34:41,712
>> Diane: Thank you.
700
00:34:41,779 --> 00:34:44,048
>> Traci: It's been a long time,
Diane.
701
00:34:44,115 --> 00:34:45,683
>> Diane: Lovely to see you,
Traci.
702
00:34:45,750 --> 00:34:47,318
You too, Abby.
703
00:34:47,385 --> 00:34:49,921
>> Kyle: I felt it was important
that, if we're going to take the
704
00:34:49,987 --> 00:34:52,490
next step, that you meet with
all of us.
705
00:34:52,557 --> 00:34:56,227
If I'm going to allow you back
in my life -- and that's still a
706
00:34:56,294 --> 00:35:00,097
big if -- it not only affects my
life, but the lives of my entire
707
00:35:00,164 --> 00:35:01,699
family.
708
00:35:01,766 --> 00:35:05,203
All of us you have a history
with.
709
00:35:05,269 --> 00:35:08,573
>> Jack: Each of us is affected
one way or the other.
710
00:35:08,639 --> 00:35:11,209
>> Diane: I have no desire to
cause any problems for the
711
00:35:11,275 --> 00:35:12,276
Abbotts.
712
00:35:12,343 --> 00:35:13,978
>> Kyle: Nonetheless, it's
something you will have to
713
00:35:14,045 --> 00:35:19,717
understand and accept -- your
presence affects us all.
714
00:35:19,784 --> 00:35:25,823
Just like we will have to decide
if we accept your claim that you
715
00:35:25,890 --> 00:35:27,892
are a different person now.
716
00:35:38,703 --> 00:35:40,972
>> Next week on
"The Young and the Restless"...
717
00:35:41,038 --> 00:35:43,808
>> Adam: I have already made my
decision.
718
00:35:43,875 --> 00:35:49,046
I want Newman Enterprises --
every single bit of it.
719
00:35:49,113 --> 00:35:51,249
>> Jack: I would love for you to
meet Allie Nguyen.
720
00:35:51,315 --> 00:35:54,185
This is Keemo's daughter and my
granddaughter.
721
00:35:54,252 --> 00:35:55,319
>> Allie: Hi, everyone.
722
00:35:55,386 --> 00:35:55,987
How are you?
723
00:35:56,053 --> 00:35:57,121
>> Michael: You were dead.
724
00:35:57,188 --> 00:35:59,023
>> Diane: And now I'm not.
725
00:35:59,090 --> 00:36:01,025

see you.
