1
00:00:02,869 --> 00:00:04,704
>> Nikki: Hello.
>> Victoria: Hi.
2
00:00:04,771 --> 00:00:07,073
Um, I'm glad you're here.
I wanted to tell you that we
3
00:00:07,140 --> 00:00:08,775
closed the deal on the project
in Tokyo.
4
00:00:08,842 --> 00:00:11,878
>> Nikki: Oh, that's terrific!
Congratulations.
5
00:00:11,945 --> 00:00:15,148
Why don't you reward yourself
and take the rest of the day
6
00:00:15,215 --> 00:00:16,416
off?
>> Victoria: Well, I would love
7
00:00:16,483 --> 00:00:19,452
to do that, but I have way too
much work to catch up on.
8
00:00:19,519 --> 00:00:22,889
>> Nikki: Darling, you always
have a lot of work to catch up
9
00:00:22,956 --> 00:00:25,892
on.
Why don't you let your co-CEO
10
00:00:25,959 --> 00:00:29,596
take you out to Society or some
other restaurant that's quieter
11
00:00:29,662 --> 00:00:31,698
and we can talk?
>> Victoria: Is there something
12
00:00:31,765 --> 00:00:33,700
in particular that you'd like to
discuss?
13
00:00:33,767 --> 00:00:37,637
>> Nikki: Maybe.
I haven't pushed you to talk
14
00:00:37,704 --> 00:00:39,672
about the night that Ashland
died because I know how
15
00:00:39,739 --> 00:00:42,909
traumatic it was for you.
But I have brought it up with
16
00:00:42,976 --> 00:00:45,211
your father.
>> Victoria: And?
17
00:00:45,278 --> 00:00:49,015
>> Nikki: And I still think that
there is something more that I
18
00:00:49,082 --> 00:00:50,850
don't know.
Whenever I bring it up to him,
19
00:00:50,917 --> 00:00:57,123
he dances around the subject.
Oh, there is a secret, isn't
20
00:00:57,190 --> 00:01:01,027
there?
And I think I know what it is.
21
00:01:07,133 --> 00:01:10,537
>> Sharon: Okay.
>> Nick: [ Sighs ]
22
00:01:10,603 --> 00:01:13,573
I told Vick the truth about what
happened to Ashland that night.
23
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:15,074
I thought she had a right to
know.
24
00:01:15,141 --> 00:01:17,977
>> Sharon: How did she react?
>> Nick: Honestly, I think she
25
00:01:18,044 --> 00:01:20,079
would have just preferred if I
kept my mouth shut.
26
00:01:20,146 --> 00:01:21,948
But keeping her in the dark
didn't feel right.
27
00:01:22,015 --> 00:01:24,484
>> Sharon: Did she already have
suspicions about what really
28
00:01:24,551 --> 00:01:26,319
happened to Ashland?
>> Nick: I don't think so.
29
00:01:26,386 --> 00:01:28,288
I mean, she went out of town
with her kids right after it
30
00:01:28,354 --> 00:01:31,524
happened.
She's done a good job, I guess,
31
00:01:31,591 --> 00:01:34,360
of just putting it out of her
mind, unlike me, who's been
32
00:01:34,427 --> 00:01:37,030
dwelling on it.
She hasn't even been back to her
33
00:01:37,096 --> 00:01:39,966
place since that night.
>> Sharon: Then it must have
34
00:01:40,033 --> 00:01:43,203
been a shock to realize what
Victor did.
35
00:01:43,269 --> 00:01:45,972
>> Nick: I mean, yes and no.
It's not like she hasn't dealt
36
00:01:46,039 --> 00:01:50,410
with something like this before.
>> Sharon: Like with JT.
37
00:01:50,477 --> 00:01:54,747
We thought he was dead, and we
tried to hide the body to make
38
00:01:54,814 --> 00:01:58,485
it look like it never happened.
>> Nick: Vick knows my dad's
39
00:01:58,551 --> 00:02:01,254
first instinct is to protect us
no matter what.
40
00:02:01,321 --> 00:02:06,259
But now everything's upside
down, and we have to protect him
41
00:02:06,326 --> 00:02:09,662
unless he comes clean.
>> Victor: So, Chance, what
42
00:02:09,729 --> 00:02:11,664
exactly are you expecting to
hear?
43
00:02:11,731 --> 00:02:13,800
>> Chance: I want you to be
straight with me.
44
00:02:13,867 --> 00:02:15,768
>> Victor: Ah.
>> Chance: Tell me what really
45
00:02:15,835 --> 00:02:17,770
happened that night
Ashland Locke died.
46
00:02:17,837 --> 00:02:22,308
'Cause he didn't stumble out of
that house all on his own.
47
00:02:22,375 --> 00:02:26,646
I think he was carried out and
disposed of by someone who
48
00:02:26,713 --> 00:02:30,149
thought that was a way to
protect Nick and Victoria.
49
00:02:30,216 --> 00:02:31,885
>> Victor: Interesting theory.

>> Chloe: I know that it's been
a busy day so far, but do you
55
00:03:15,728 --> 00:03:17,897
have a few minutes to talk?
'Cause I woke up this morning,
56
00:03:17,964 --> 00:03:19,766
synapses firing, sparking with
ideas.
57
00:03:19,832 --> 00:03:24,170
>> Sally: Yeah. Come on in.
What inspired this brainstorm?
58
00:03:24,237 --> 00:03:27,073
>> Chloe: Kevin.
So, we were watching a movie
59
00:03:27,140 --> 00:03:30,243
based on one of his favorite
graphic novels last night and I
60
00:03:30,310 --> 00:03:34,347
wake up and he's not in bed.
And then I go downstairs and I
61
00:03:34,414 --> 00:03:39,085
find him playing video games
based on the movie.
62
00:03:39,152 --> 00:03:41,721
>> Sally: I am not fully getting
it.
63
00:03:41,788 --> 00:03:45,091
>> Chloe: It's what we should be
>> Sally: Turning ourselves into
64
00:03:45,158 --> 00:03:47,327
total geeks?
>> Sally: There is nothing geeky
65
00:03:47,393 --> 00:03:49,862
about comic books and
superheroes.
66
00:03:49,929 --> 00:03:52,665
Everybody loves them.
And it's one of the more
67
00:03:52,732 --> 00:03:54,734
profitable...
>> Adam: We said that we were
68
00:03:54,801 --> 00:03:58,371
not doing anything for
>> Sally: Right.
69
00:03:58,438 --> 00:04:01,908
And as you can tell by the
decor, we are not even
70
00:04:01,975 --> 00:04:05,478
acknowledging New Year's.
All of the other holidays, sure,
71
00:04:05,545 --> 00:04:07,547
but there were no rules about
that.
72
00:04:07,614 --> 00:04:10,683
>> Chloe: We should be using our
library of graphic novels to
73
00:04:10,750 --> 00:04:14,287
create content for movies and
television and turn them into
74
00:04:14,354 --> 00:04:17,056
video games.
>> Sally: Uh-huh.
75
00:04:17,123 --> 00:04:21,260
>> Adam: You are looking at the
new CEO of Newman Enterprises.
76
00:04:21,327 --> 00:04:24,130
>> Sally: Oh, my God!
You did it! Congratulations!
77
00:04:24,197 --> 00:04:27,800
[ Laughs ]
>> Adam: And -- And I am looking
78
00:04:27,867 --> 00:04:31,237
at the very beautiful new CEO of
Newman Media.
79
00:04:31,304 --> 00:04:33,439
>> Chloe: Conversely, we should
be using the video games we
80
00:04:33,506 --> 00:04:36,943
created and turn them into
movies and graphic novels.
81
00:04:37,010 --> 00:04:41,347
>> Sally: We will both be very
busy in our new positions.
82
00:04:41,414 --> 00:04:46,119
>> Adam: Well, then we better
not waste our time together,
83
00:04:46,185 --> 00:04:47,987
not let a moment go to waste.
84
00:04:59,399 --> 00:05:02,902
>> Chloe: Sally?
Did you hear anything I just
85
00:05:02,969 --> 00:05:04,237
said?
>> Sally: Yeah.
86
00:05:04,303 --> 00:05:07,907
Yeah. Absolutely.
And I want to hear more.
87
00:05:07,974 --> 00:05:09,876
[ Chuckles ]
88
00:05:19,919 --> 00:05:21,788
>> Adam: Hey there.
>> Jack: Adam.
89
00:05:21,854 --> 00:05:25,458
It's been a while. How are you?
>> Adam: Oh, I'm hanging in
90
00:05:25,525 --> 00:05:28,127
there.
I've had a few things going on.
91
00:05:28,194 --> 00:05:30,563
I'm not sure if you heard.
>> Jack: Yeah, I was surprised
92
00:05:30,630 --> 00:05:32,432
to hear you stepped away from
Newman Enterprises.
93
00:05:32,498 --> 00:05:34,634
>> Adam: [ Chuckles ]
Were you really?
94
00:05:34,701 --> 00:05:38,337
Because if past predicts future,
it probably was inevitable.
95
00:05:38,404 --> 00:05:41,407
>> Jack: I know there is a
long-standing pattern between
96
00:05:41,474 --> 00:05:44,711
you and Victor and the rest of
the Newman family that nothing
97
00:05:44,777 --> 00:05:47,714
long-term seems to work, but
hope springs eternal.
98
00:05:47,780 --> 00:05:53,219
>> Adam: Maybe for the Abbotts,
but for me, I think the lesson
99
00:05:53,286 --> 00:05:56,556
has finally sunk in this time.
>> Jack: I'm sorry to hear that.
100
00:05:56,622 --> 00:05:58,725
So, what are your plans for the
future?
101
00:05:58,791 --> 00:06:02,361
>> Adam: Uh, I haven't thought
much about it.
102
00:06:02,428 --> 00:06:05,565
>> Jack: Well, maybe you should.
Adam, I know you.
103
00:06:05,631 --> 00:06:09,335
When you are not focused on the
future, it almost always means
104
00:06:09,402 --> 00:06:14,741
you are stewing with resentment,
which never leads anywhere good.
105
00:06:22,715 --> 00:06:23,916
>> Jack: Please join me for a
106
00:06:23,983 --> 00:06:28,020
bite.
>> Adam: Sure.
107
00:06:28,087 --> 00:06:34,260
Well, I'd like the company.
And you're right.
108
00:06:34,327 --> 00:06:38,097
I am bitter about the latest
rejection from my father.
109
00:06:38,164 --> 00:06:41,267
And I'm just mad as hell at
myself for not seeing it coming.
110
00:06:41,334 --> 00:06:47,540
I just -- I thought this time
might be different.
111
00:06:47,607 --> 00:06:50,343
>> Jack: Well, it seems this
go-round, you had a major
112
00:06:50,409 --> 00:06:52,979
supporter in Sally.
Is that in part why you got your
113
00:06:53,045 --> 00:06:53,579
hopes up?
114
00:06:55,515 --> 00:06:56,949
>> Chloe: It's all about synergy
115
00:06:57,016 --> 00:07:02,021
and maximizing the value of our
intellectual property.
116
00:07:02,088 --> 00:07:05,291
Hey.
Hey. What's -- What's going on?
117
00:07:05,358 --> 00:07:08,261
Low blood sugar?
Not getting enough sleep?
118
00:07:08,327 --> 00:07:10,196
>> Sally: Sorry.
I'm just a little bit
119
00:07:10,263 --> 00:07:12,532
distracted.
>> Chloe: Yeah.
120
00:07:12,598 --> 00:07:15,368
Yeah, I -- I-I recognize the
signs.
121
00:07:15,434 --> 00:07:17,970
Having been through this with
Chelsea, I know exactly what's
122
00:07:18,037 --> 00:07:20,473
going on.
But do not worry.
123
00:07:20,540 --> 00:07:24,177
I know exactly what to do.
>> Sally: What's that?
124
00:07:24,243 --> 00:07:27,947
>> Chloe: An exorcism.
And then we can burn some sage
125
00:07:28,014 --> 00:07:32,485
and expunge all of this bad juju
that your despicable ex has left
126
00:07:32,552 --> 00:07:34,520
behind.
>> Sally: Okay, I'm not sure
127
00:07:34,587 --> 00:07:37,123
that we need to go that far.
>> Chloe: Well, we obviously
128
00:07:37,190 --> 00:07:40,493
have to do something because
Adam is taking up way too much
129
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:44,263
space in your head.
He is sapping all of the energy
130
00:07:44,330 --> 00:07:48,100
and inspiration that you should
be saving for Newman Media.
131
00:07:48,167 --> 00:07:51,737
And I thought we agreed you
weren't going to let him, much
132
00:07:51,804 --> 00:07:56,442
less the memory of him, steal
this opportunity from you.
133
00:07:56,509 --> 00:07:59,212
>> Sally: What if I can't do
this without him?
134
00:07:59,278 --> 00:08:03,049
What if I'm in over my head?
What if Adam was the one that
135
00:08:03,115 --> 00:08:04,584
was keeping me afloat this whole
time?
136
00:08:04,650 --> 00:08:08,321
>> Chloe: No.
We have been through this.
137
00:08:08,387 --> 00:08:12,325
Yes, Adam may have gotten you
the job, but you are still in
138
00:08:12,391 --> 00:08:15,928
that chair because of your
determination and brilliance.
139
00:08:15,995 --> 00:08:19,465
Nick and Victoria recognize
that, and they want to see more
140
00:08:19,532 --> 00:08:21,868
of it.
And so do I.
141
00:08:21,934 --> 00:08:25,371
I mean, do you think that I
would be wasting my time on this
142
00:08:25,438 --> 00:08:27,874
gig if I didn't think you knew
what you were doing?
143
00:08:27,940 --> 00:08:31,677
The answer is no.
So, it is time to set aside all
144
00:08:31,744 --> 00:08:35,781
of this ridiculous insecurity
and get back to work.
145
00:08:35,848 --> 00:08:39,218
Okay?
>> Sally: [ Chuckles ]
146
00:08:39,285 --> 00:08:43,289
Okay.
Thanks.
147
00:08:44,891 --> 00:08:48,961
>> Sharon: I take it you and
Victoria agreed not to tell
148
00:08:49,028 --> 00:08:51,864
Chance about what Victor did?
>> Nick: We actually didn't have
149
00:08:51,931 --> 00:08:54,200
much of an opportunity to
discuss how we're gonna handle
150
00:08:54,267 --> 00:08:57,770
Chance before he showed up.
He did say he doesn't buy at
151
00:08:57,837 --> 00:09:01,240
all the story of Ashland making
it on his own to his car in a
152
00:09:01,307 --> 00:09:04,343
windstorm.
He said it's a lot more likely
153
00:09:04,410 --> 00:09:07,847
that Dad had Ashland's dead body
removed from the premises and
154
00:09:07,914 --> 00:09:11,317
then staged the accident.
>> Sharon: My God.
155
00:09:11,384 --> 00:09:13,686
How did you react to that?
>> Nick: What was I supposed to
156
00:09:13,753 --> 00:09:15,755
do?
I told him that, you know,
157
00:09:15,821 --> 00:09:18,291
it's just a theory.
He's got no proof that backs
158
00:09:18,357 --> 00:09:20,159
it up.
>> Sharon: Wow.
159
00:09:20,226 --> 00:09:22,495
You are in a really difficult
position.
160
00:09:22,561 --> 00:09:26,532
But you've had to make these
kinds of decisions before,
161
00:09:26,599 --> 00:09:29,201
whether to cover for shady
things Victor does.
162
00:09:29,268 --> 00:09:32,571
>> Nick: Victoria, too.
The only person new to this game
163
00:09:32,638 --> 00:09:35,007
is Chance.
>> Sharon: In a lot of ways,
164
00:09:35,074 --> 00:09:37,877
Chance is like Rey.
It's in his job and his nature
165
00:09:37,944 --> 00:09:43,015
to find the truth and expose it,
but in order to do so, he needs
166
00:09:43,082 --> 00:09:45,284
to put his own wife's family in
jeopardy.
167
00:09:45,351 --> 00:09:47,019
How is he supposed to handle
that?
168
00:09:50,589 --> 00:09:53,392
>> Victor: Now, do you have any
evidence to back up this
169
00:09:53,459 --> 00:09:56,395
supposition?
>> Chance: Well, I've been
170
00:09:56,462 --> 00:10:00,266
trying to corroborate everyone's
initial story -- that Ashland
171
00:10:00,333 --> 00:10:04,203
left that house of his own
volition -- but I just keep
172
00:10:04,270 --> 00:10:06,205
coming up empty.
>> Victor: Hmm.
173
00:10:06,272 --> 00:10:07,273
>> Chance: There's no
footprints.
174
00:10:07,340 --> 00:10:08,541
>> Victor: Mm.
>> Chance: There's no blood
175
00:10:08,607 --> 00:10:09,809
trail.
>> Victor: Mm.
176
00:10:09,875 --> 00:10:11,143
>> Chance: There's no security
footage at the gas station where
177
00:10:11,210 --> 00:10:13,913
he parked his car.
I mean, it's all blank.
178
00:10:13,980 --> 00:10:16,682
I find that strange.
>> Victor: Wow.
179
00:10:16,749 --> 00:10:20,820
Very frustrating, no doubt.
I understand. Mm-hmm.
180
00:10:20,886 --> 00:10:24,256
But I suggest that, in the
absence of clear evidence, you
181
00:10:24,323 --> 00:10:26,659
stop filling the void with
conjecture.
182
00:10:26,726 --> 00:10:28,427
>> Chance: I agree.
>> Victor: Good.
183
00:10:28,494 --> 00:10:29,962
>> Chance: And that's why we
continued to search...
184
00:10:30,029 --> 00:10:31,530
>> Victor: Uh-huh.
>> Chance: ...my team and I,
185
00:10:31,597 --> 00:10:35,301
and we did find some footage
from another location of
186
00:10:35,368 --> 00:10:38,270
Ashland's car in motion.
Now, it's a little grainy, taken
187
00:10:38,337 --> 00:10:41,307
from a distance, but it looks
like there could be more than
188
00:10:41,374 --> 00:10:44,110
one person in the car.
>> Victor: Doesn't prove a damn
189
00:10:44,176 --> 00:10:46,012
thing, does it?
>> Chance: We also found a
190
00:10:46,078 --> 00:10:48,547
cigarette butt on scene that may
have belonged to one of your
191
00:10:48,614 --> 00:10:50,583
security guards.
>> Victor: Chance, a cigarette
192
00:10:50,649 --> 00:10:53,152
butt could belong to anyone,
for heaven's sake.
193
00:10:53,219 --> 00:10:56,255
I mean, why this excessive
search for information?
194
00:10:56,322 --> 00:10:57,857
I don't understand it.
>> Chance: You asked me what my
195
00:10:57,923 --> 00:10:59,091
evidence was.
>> Victor: Yeah.
196
00:10:59,158 --> 00:11:00,893
>> Chance: And the investigation
is how we find the evidence.
197
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:04,663
>> Victor: I think you have
enough evidence as it is.
198
00:11:04,730 --> 00:11:08,267
Ashland Locke, that bastard,
died in a car accident.
199
00:11:08,334 --> 00:11:12,371
Simple as it is.
Why do you waste time trying to
200
00:11:12,438 --> 00:11:15,508
find out what led up to that?
Meaningless.
201
00:11:15,574 --> 00:11:18,077
He's dead.
Why don't you move on to some
202
00:11:18,144 --> 00:11:19,111
other investigation?
203
00:11:27,353 --> 00:11:28,788
>> Nick: Chance is gonna keep
digging.
204
00:11:28,854 --> 00:11:31,557
My dad's gonna keep denying.
Sooner or later, something's
205
00:11:31,624 --> 00:11:34,360
going to have to give.
Even if I stay completely out of
206
00:11:34,427 --> 00:11:37,396
it, I set this whole thing in
motion by getting Chance
207
00:11:37,463 --> 00:11:40,699
involved in the first place.
>> Sharon: A man died.
208
00:11:40,766 --> 00:11:43,702
Of course you were gonna need
to call the authorities.
209
00:11:43,769 --> 00:11:46,906
It still haunts me to this day
that we didn't do that with JT.
210
00:11:46,972 --> 00:11:51,177
And I can't believe that Victor,
after what he experienced with
211
00:11:51,243 --> 00:11:54,480
Victoria and Nikki at that time,
he didn't learn his lesson.
212
00:11:54,547 --> 00:11:57,917
>> Nick: I can.
His protective nature is in his
213
00:11:57,983 --> 00:12:00,519
DNA.
He can't help himself.
214
00:12:00,586 --> 00:12:03,556
I guess there's no point in
being mad at him for him being
215
00:12:03,622 --> 00:12:06,926
who he is.
>> Sharon: Are you really trying
216
00:12:06,992 --> 00:12:09,028
to tell me that you're not angry
with him anymore?
217
00:12:09,095 --> 00:12:12,231
>> Nick: Oh, no, I'm mad.
I was so close to telling Chance
218
00:12:12,298 --> 00:12:16,902
what my father did.
Ugh, I don't -- Ugh.
219
00:12:16,969 --> 00:12:19,171
I'm just -- I don't know.
I'm -- I'm a mess right now.
220
00:12:19,238 --> 00:12:24,110
I don't know...
>> Sharon: Look, that's totally
221
00:12:24,176 --> 00:12:27,379
understandable, but I don't
think that your feelings have
222
00:12:27,446 --> 00:12:29,315
much to do with what Victor
did or didn't do.
223
00:12:29,381 --> 00:12:32,718
I think you're having a normal,
conscientious reaction to what
224
00:12:32,785 --> 00:12:33,586
you did.
225
00:12:35,354 --> 00:12:36,489
>> Chance: If you're hoping that
226
00:12:36,555 --> 00:12:39,158
I'm gonna drop this
investigation, that's not gonna
227
00:12:39,225 --> 00:12:42,394
happen.
It is my duty to find the facts
228
00:12:42,461 --> 00:12:45,698
in this case, and I take that
very seriously.
229
00:12:45,764 --> 00:12:50,769
>> Victor: I know you do.
And I admire that.
230
00:12:50,836 --> 00:12:53,806
You have a highly developed
sense of duty.
231
00:12:53,873 --> 00:12:57,042
Probably got that from the
military.
232
00:12:57,109 --> 00:13:01,413
But as far as I'm concerned, all
that effort would be better
233
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:04,350
spent elsewhere.
>> Chance: I doubt Ashland would
234
00:13:04,416 --> 00:13:06,285
see it that way.
>> Victor: Who the hell gives a
235
00:13:06,352 --> 00:13:10,623
damn how Ashland would see it?
He's dead, Chance, dead as a
236
00:13:10,689 --> 00:13:13,359
doornail!
He was a pathological liar.
237
00:13:13,425 --> 00:13:16,328
He was a fraud.
And I have a feeling he began to
238
00:13:16,395 --> 00:13:19,165
realize that.
That's why he drove his damn car
239
00:13:19,231 --> 00:13:20,833
into a ravine.
>> Chance: Okay, so you're still
240
00:13:20,900 --> 00:13:22,334
pushing the whole suicide --
>> Victor: That's the only
241
00:13:22,401 --> 00:13:23,702
logical explanation.
>> Chance: Only if the facts
242
00:13:23,769 --> 00:13:25,938
would back it up, but that's not
the case.
243
00:13:26,005 --> 00:13:29,441
Victor, I cannot overlook the
reality that you have covered up
244
00:13:29,508 --> 00:13:32,845
a fatal accident in the past
involving one of your children.
245
00:13:32,912 --> 00:13:36,182
>> Victor: Now, wait a minute,
man.
246
00:13:36,248 --> 00:13:40,152
You're talking about Adam.
This is something that happened
247
00:13:40,219 --> 00:13:44,089
decades ago.
Let me tell you something about
248
00:13:44,156 --> 00:13:48,494
your profession.
The more information you have
249
00:13:48,561 --> 00:13:53,799
about a case, the more it often
obscures the truth.
250
00:13:53,866 --> 00:13:56,569
>> Chance: There's no such thing
as too much information.
251
00:13:56,635 --> 00:13:59,104
That's not the problem here.
I'm not gonna stop.
252
00:13:59,171 --> 00:14:00,339
I will not give up until I
know --
253
00:14:00,406 --> 00:14:02,341
>> Victor: I don't give a damn,
Chance, whether you're gonna
254
00:14:02,408 --> 00:14:06,245
stop or not.
That's all I have to say.
255
00:14:10,349 --> 00:14:15,521
>> Nikki: So, Victor's men
removed Ashland's body, put it
256
00:14:15,588 --> 00:14:18,791
in his car, and crashed it into
the ravine?
257
00:14:18,857 --> 00:14:21,627
>> Victoria: Yes.
>> Nikki: I knew it.
258
00:14:21,694 --> 00:14:25,064
I knew your father was involved.
And it's so much like what he
259
00:14:25,130 --> 00:14:26,632
did for Adam when he was a
child.
260
00:14:26,699 --> 00:14:29,001
>> Victoria: Yes, Mother, but
Nicholas and I -- we are not
261
00:14:29,068 --> 00:14:32,538
children.
I know he acted out of love.
262
00:14:32,605 --> 00:14:36,375
I know that, but he didn't need
to go to this extreme.
263
00:14:36,442 --> 00:14:38,444
Oh, God, let's just get into it
later.
264
00:14:38,510 --> 00:14:42,314
Right now, we need to get
through this investigation.
265
00:14:42,381 --> 00:14:44,450
>> Nikki: Do you think the
police have doubts about how
266
00:14:44,516 --> 00:14:46,352
Ashland died?
>> Victoria: Chance was here
267
00:14:46,418 --> 00:14:49,722
talking to me and Nicholas
earlier.
268
00:14:49,788 --> 00:14:53,826
Yeah, he was voicing his
suspicions that somebody,
269
00:14:53,892 --> 00:14:57,396
possibly Dad, moved the body,
but thankfully he doesn't have
270
00:14:57,463 --> 00:15:00,733
much in the way of evidence.
However, it was still an
271
00:15:00,799 --> 00:15:05,170
incredibly awkward conversation,
to say the least, and we acted
272
00:15:05,237 --> 00:15:07,573
indignant that he would even
suggest such a thing.
273
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:10,342
But if the truth does come out,
Mom, we will have damaged our
274
00:15:10,409 --> 00:15:12,411
own credibility.
>> Nikki: Oh, my God, Chance was
275
00:15:12,478 --> 00:15:14,947
at the ranch when I left.
He's probably interrogating
276
00:15:15,014 --> 00:15:18,284
Victor about his suspicions
right now.
277
00:15:18,350 --> 00:15:21,387
I'm sure your father held his
own, but I've got to get home.
278
00:15:25,190 --> 00:15:29,328
[ Door opens ]
[ Door closes ]
279
00:15:30,062 --> 00:15:36,435
>> Adam: It is undeniable that
Sally is a relentless optimist.
280
00:15:36,502 --> 00:15:39,538
And I may have got a little
caught up in her unrealistic
281
00:15:39,605 --> 00:15:43,776
expectations, but I think deep
down I knew that this stint at
282
00:15:43,842 --> 00:15:46,745
Newman was gonna end the same
way all the other ones have --
283
00:15:46,812 --> 00:15:51,250
just in a smoking pile of ash.
>> Jack: So, what's really going
284
00:15:51,317 --> 00:15:54,887
on?
Why do you keep going back?
285
00:15:54,953 --> 00:15:57,623
>> Adam: I don't know.
Maybe I'm a glutton for
286
00:15:57,690 --> 00:16:01,727
punishment.
Maybe some masochistic part of
287
00:16:01,794 --> 00:16:05,964
my brain thinks I deserve to
keep paying the price for what I
288
00:16:06,031 --> 00:16:09,835
did as a kid.
>> Jack: I get that you feel you
289
00:16:09,902 --> 00:16:14,340
have to earn back your father's
respect and admiration.
290
00:16:14,406 --> 00:16:18,110
I just think that's too pat an
explanation.
291
00:16:18,177 --> 00:16:22,081
>> Adam: Alright, Dr. Abbott,
you tell me -- why do I keep
292
00:16:22,147 --> 00:16:24,950
putting myself in this position?
>> Jack: Maybe you're not
293
00:16:25,017 --> 00:16:29,455
looking for forgiveness.
Maybe you're looking to forgive.
294
00:16:38,130 --> 00:16:40,566
>> Sally: He loves the comic
book?
295
00:16:40,632 --> 00:16:42,801
Yeah.
I don't know why I thought he
296
00:16:42,868 --> 00:16:48,173
would.
I just had a feeling.
297
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:51,210
Okay, so, Newman Media owns the
movie and TV rights, and we
298
00:16:51,276 --> 00:16:54,146
think your client would be
perfect for the lead in a film
299
00:16:54,213 --> 00:16:55,614
based off of it -- and not just
that.
300
00:16:55,681 --> 00:16:59,218
I mean, we are talking sequels,
TV spin-offs, video games, the
301
00:16:59,284 --> 00:17:04,089
whole shebang.
It's going to be huge.
302
00:17:04,156 --> 00:17:06,558
Great.
Wonderful.
303
00:17:06,625 --> 00:17:09,661
We will have our lawyers reach
out to you to negotiate a deal
304
00:17:09,728 --> 00:17:14,333
ASAP.
Great. Talk soon.
305
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:18,170
Bye.
>> Chloe: That sounded like it
306
00:17:18,237 --> 00:17:20,205
went well.
>> Sally: Could not have gone
307
00:17:20,272 --> 00:17:21,640
better.
[ Chuckles ]
308
00:17:21,707 --> 00:17:24,009
>> Chloe: I have to laugh that
this is the same woman who was
309
00:17:24,076 --> 00:17:25,477
just doubting herself a minute
ago.
310
00:17:25,544 --> 00:17:27,746
>> Sally: Well, your pep talk
helped.
311
00:17:27,813 --> 00:17:30,883
It was exactly what I needed to
hear when I needed to hear it.
312
00:17:30,949 --> 00:17:34,186
The two of us are going to kick
butt running this company.
313
00:17:34,253 --> 00:17:38,223
>> Chloe: Damn right we are.
>> Sally: You know, in fashion,
314
00:17:38,290 --> 00:17:41,059
I always wanted to influence
what people wore, but this is
315
00:17:41,126 --> 00:17:43,662
gonna be so much bigger.
I mean, folks are gonna turn to
316
00:17:43,729 --> 00:17:46,198
Newman Media to figure out who
to listen to, what to talk
317
00:17:46,265 --> 00:17:52,538
about, and what to care about.
It's awesome, how much power and
318
00:17:52,604 --> 00:17:56,241
influence we can wield.
>> Chloe: Yes, yes, yes.
319
00:17:56,308 --> 00:18:02,848
Now, that is the Sally Spectra
>> Sally: [ Chuckles ]
320
00:18:03,148 --> 00:18:05,484
>> Nick: You're right.
This is more about me than it is
321
00:18:05,551 --> 00:18:08,520
my dad.
[ Sighs ] I think what's
322
00:18:08,587 --> 00:18:12,090
weighing on me the most is that
I let my anger take control of
323
00:18:12,157 --> 00:18:14,026
me.
I thought I'd done a pretty good
324
00:18:14,092 --> 00:18:17,496
job over the years of keeping a
handle on that.
325
00:18:17,563 --> 00:18:22,601
I was so mad.
Ashland pushed me too far.
326
00:18:22,668 --> 00:18:24,369
When I realized what I had
done, I...
327
00:18:24,436 --> 00:18:26,972
>> Sharon: You know what?
You don't have to explain.
328
00:18:27,039 --> 00:18:31,643
I was there the night that we
thought that Nikki killed JT.
329
00:18:31,710 --> 00:18:33,879
She was protecting her
daughter's life.
330
00:18:33,946 --> 00:18:39,518
She was perfectly in the right,
but it was still devastating to
331
00:18:39,585 --> 00:18:45,491
everyone who witnessed it.
>> Nick: Yeah, I...
332
00:18:45,557 --> 00:18:47,826
I don't think I ever completely
understood what you all went
333
00:18:47,893 --> 00:18:50,295
through that night until right
now.
334
00:18:50,362 --> 00:18:54,132
>> Sharon: Our first instinct
was exactly what Victor's was --
335
00:18:54,199 --> 00:18:57,402
to cover up what happened.
So I can understand if Victoria
336
00:18:57,469 --> 00:19:00,439
doesn't want to judge him for
that.
337
00:19:00,506 --> 00:19:04,810
But our attempt at a cover-up
backfired spectacularly.
338
00:19:04,877 --> 00:19:10,249
I'm only hoping that the same
won't be true in this case.
339
00:19:10,315 --> 00:19:13,151
>> Chance: I am a father now,
too, so I understand what it
340
00:19:13,218 --> 00:19:16,321
means to be fiercely protective
of your child.
341
00:19:16,388 --> 00:19:18,056
I get that.
And I get why you might have
342
00:19:18,123 --> 00:19:21,126
felt compelled to do whatever
was necessary to protect your
343
00:19:21,193 --> 00:19:23,262
children.
But they're not in danger
344
00:19:23,328 --> 00:19:27,099
anymore.
And if you continue to stonewall
345
00:19:27,165 --> 00:19:29,768
this case, all the risk is gonna
be on you.
346
00:19:29,835 --> 00:19:34,940
>> Victor: Thank you for your
kind concern, Chance.
347
00:19:35,007 --> 00:19:37,643
But don't you worry about me,
okay?
348
00:19:37,709 --> 00:19:41,547
I have nothing to atone for.
>> Chance: As much as I admire
349
00:19:41,613 --> 00:19:42,814
you...
>> Victor: Mm-hmm.
350
00:19:42,881 --> 00:19:45,183
>> Chance: ...and respect you
and respect the fact that we are
351
00:19:45,250 --> 00:19:53,692
family, I'm not gonna back off.
>> Victor: I know you won't.
352
00:19:53,759 --> 00:20:00,999
Now, if I were you, I'd go home
to my beautiful wife and my
353
00:20:01,066 --> 00:20:06,071
beautiful kid.
Just know that Ashland Locke is
354
00:20:06,138 --> 00:20:09,141
dead.
He's no longer a danger to
355
00:20:09,207 --> 00:20:14,313
anyone.
That should make you sleep easy.
356
00:20:17,749 --> 00:20:19,585
>> Adam: Look, I have no doubt
that letting go of whatever
357
00:20:19,651 --> 00:20:24,256
anger and rage I still have
would be therapeutic.
358
00:20:24,323 --> 00:20:27,759
But it's easier said than done
'cause I'm afraid at this point
359
00:20:27,826 --> 00:20:33,632
he is firmly entrenched in my
psyche as the enemy.
360
00:20:33,699 --> 00:20:36,568
>> Jack: There was a time I
talked about Victor in exactly
361
00:20:36,635 --> 00:20:40,739
the same way.
He was my nemesis.
362
00:20:40,806 --> 00:20:44,376
I wanted more than anything to
bring him down.
363
00:20:44,443 --> 00:20:47,145
But I learned from painful
experience that I was better off
364
00:20:47,212 --> 00:20:49,481
channeling my energies towards
something positive.
365
00:20:49,548 --> 00:20:54,720
Look, Adam, your destiny is not
predetermined.
366
00:20:54,786 --> 00:20:58,090
You could use this as a turning
point, a chance to reinvent
367
00:20:58,156 --> 00:20:59,992
yourself.
>> Adam: I feel like I have been
368
00:21:00,058 --> 00:21:04,463
reinventing myself my entire
life, Jack, first as the perfect
369
00:21:04,529 --> 00:21:07,699
son who didn't want to cause his
mother any trouble, then as the
370
00:21:07,766 --> 00:21:12,004
successful Harvard grad with a
bright future, then later, after
371
00:21:12,070 --> 00:21:15,307
locking horns with Victor, as
the anti-Newman.
372
00:21:15,374 --> 00:21:17,976
>> Adam: You're forgetting
Spider, the man of mystery from
373
00:21:18,043 --> 00:21:20,646
Vegas.
Okay, I don't mean to make light
374
00:21:20,712 --> 00:21:23,782
of your situation.
All I'm suggesting is...
375
00:21:23,849 --> 00:21:28,687
maybe it's time to let that go,
to just forget about it, just be

brilliant business mind, an

00:21:33,825 --> 00:21:36,962
incredible work ethic.
There are so many opportunities
379
00:21:37,029 --> 00:21:40,532
for you to prove yourself to the
world.
380
00:21:40,599 --> 00:21:42,868
Matter of fact, I can think of
one off the top of my head.

take a break from all this.

Just take your mind off of it,
even if it's just for a little

>> Nick: [ Scoffs, sighs ]

00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:31,216
I mean, it sounds nice, but I
don't think that's gonna be
388
00:22:31,283 --> 00:22:34,119
possible.
>> Sharon: Well, I'm having
389
00:22:34,186 --> 00:22:36,955
dinner with Noah and Allie
later on.
390
00:22:37,022 --> 00:22:39,591
You're welcome to join us.
It might be good for you.
391
00:22:39,658 --> 00:22:42,127
And they're so cute together.
You haven't had a chance to get
392
00:22:42,194 --> 00:22:44,229
to know Allie because you've
been so focused on Newman and
393
00:22:44,296 --> 00:22:47,132
Ashland.
>> Nick: Are those two getting
394
00:22:47,199 --> 00:22:49,468
serious?
>> Sharon: I don't know.
395
00:22:49,534 --> 00:22:51,970
They haven't been dating that
long, but I haven't seen Noah
396
00:22:52,037 --> 00:22:53,905
this lit up since he came home
from London.
397
00:22:53,972 --> 00:22:56,842
And he did confide in me that he
feels more relaxed and
398
00:22:56,908 --> 00:22:59,077
comfortable around her than
anyone else.
399
00:22:59,144 --> 00:23:03,348
So...I hope so.
Um, I think it would be good for
400
00:23:03,415 --> 00:23:05,050
him.
>> Nick: Yeah, I agree.
401
00:23:05,117 --> 00:23:08,820
It's been a long time since
we've seen Noah in a happy,

healthy relationship.
And Allie seems great.

00:23:14,793 --> 00:23:17,963
>> Adam: I, uh, appreciate you
trying to boost my spirits,
404
00:23:18,029 --> 00:23:20,232
Jack, but you're kidding about
the job offer.
405
00:23:20,298 --> 00:23:23,335
>> Jack: No. I am serious.
It only occurred to me now, but
406
00:23:23,401 --> 00:23:25,470
you would be a perfect fit at
Jabot.
407
00:23:25,537 --> 00:23:29,374
You know more than I do about
social trends and celebrity
408
00:23:29,441 --> 00:23:31,810
culture 'cause of your work at
Newman Media.
409

No one I know is better at
strategy or corporate game

>> Adam: I appreciate the
411
00:23:37,682 --> 00:23:40,485
compliment, but, um --
I don't know how to say this,
412
00:23:40,552 --> 00:23:43,588
but I'm a little wary of family
companies because I've been
413
00:23:43,655 --> 00:23:45,857
thrown over one too many times
by the boss's son or daughter,
414
00:23:45,924 --> 00:23:47,292
Jack.
>> Jack: And that would not be
415
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:50,028
an issue at Jabot.
Kyle has just stepped away from
416
00:23:50,095 --> 00:23:53,165
his position as co-CEO so he can
focus on Marchetti, focus on
417
00:23:53,231 --> 00:23:58,236

who, by the way, is a Newman who
418
00:23:58,303 --> 00:24:01,840
has taken refuge at Jabot
because she didn't want to deal
419
00:24:01,907 --> 00:24:04,242
with all the family drama at
Newman Enterprises.
420
00:24:04,309 --> 00:24:06,845

Summer and Kyle would feel about

least popular person in all of

Your notoriety would pale by
424
00:24:15,086 --> 00:24:17,722
comparison.
>> Adam: And what is she doing
425
00:24:17,789 --> 00:24:20,258
for the company?
>> Jack: It's a PR job.
426
00:24:20,325 --> 00:24:22,761
It's nothing on the executive
level, just something to keep
427
00:24:22,828 --> 00:24:25,063
her out of trouble.
There's no reason your paths
428
00:24:25,130 --> 00:24:28,667
would have to cross, if that's
the issue.
429
00:24:28,733 --> 00:24:31,803
>> Adam: No. It wouldn't be.
>> Jack: Adam, the more I think
430
00:24:31,870 --> 00:24:34,539
about this, the more I like this
idea.

moves we're making in the

gate on late-breaking scoops.
439
00:24:58,763 --> 00:25:01,199
That is how we gain attention
and build a reputation as a
440
00:25:01,266 --> 00:25:03,401
serious player.
And I also think that we should
441
00:25:03,468 --> 00:25:06,304
be directing more resources to
the reporters who show that they
442
00:25:06,371 --> 00:25:08,273
can have that kind of hustle and
access.
443
00:25:08,340 --> 00:25:10,141

I'm on board with that.
444
00:25:10,208 --> 00:25:14,913
>> Sally: Okay, so, in that
vein, I have been rethinking our
445
00:25:14,980 --> 00:25:18,316
approach to the whole
Ashland Locke story.
446
00:25:18,383 --> 00:25:22,153
>> Chloe: Well, that's kind of
tricky, with the Newmans being
447
00:25:22,220 --> 00:25:25,991

And they own the company that we

probationary status.

>> Chloe: What?
450
00:25:34,566 --> 00:25:37,569
When did that happen?
>> Sally: More or less when you
451
00:25:37,636 --> 00:25:39,738
told me that Nick punched
Ashland the night that he
452
00:25:39,804 --> 00:25:41,873
died.
Afterward, I spoke with Nick and

told him what I knew, without
telling him that you were my

484
00:27:13,698 --> 00:27:18,737
>> Victor: Mm.
Well, what do you mean?
485
00:27:18,803 --> 00:27:22,540
>> Nikki: Victor, you know
exactly what I mean.
486
00:27:22,607 --> 00:27:26,511
You had your security team move
Ashland's body and make it look
487
00:27:26,578 --> 00:27:29,614
like he died of a car crash.
Victoria learned that from
488
00:27:29,681 --> 00:27:31,750
Nicholas when she got back from
her trip.
489
00:27:31,816 --> 00:27:36,421
>> Victor: Hmm.
Well, now you understand why I
490
00:27:36,488 --> 00:27:40,892
didn't want to drag you and
Victoria into that story.
491
00:27:40,959 --> 00:27:44,963
>> Nikki: Yes, I can because I
know you better than anyone on
492
00:27:45,030 --> 00:27:47,932
the planet and I know you will
stop at nothing to protect your
493
00:27:47,999 --> 00:27:51,936
children.
But now I have a question.
494
00:27:52,003 --> 00:27:55,173
When will you learn that I have
your back?
495
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:57,175
Victor, you should have told me
the truth from the very
496
00:27:57,242 --> 00:28:04,182
beginning.
>> Victor: Okay. You're right.
497
00:28:04,249 --> 00:28:09,754
>> Nikki: So...what did
Chance want to talk about?
498
00:28:13,391 --> 00:28:16,594
>> Chloe: Please...
don't tell me that you
499
00:28:16,661 --> 00:28:19,731
threatened the Newmans.
>> Sally: No, of course not.
500
00:28:19,798 --> 00:28:21,666
I am incredibly grateful
to Nick and Victoria
501
00:28:21,733 --> 00:28:24,169
for this opportunity,
and they seem just as happy
502
00:28:24,235 --> 00:28:28,306
with me.
>> Chloe: Because you're keeping
503
00:28:28,373 --> 00:28:32,343
what you know about Ashland
out of the news coverage.
504
00:28:32,410 --> 00:28:35,046
>> Sally: That gratitude
translates to a certain amount
505
00:28:35,113 --> 00:28:39,050
of job security.
>> Chloe: So if our job security
506
00:28:39,117 --> 00:28:42,320
depends on your discretion,
you're still talking
507
00:28:42,387 --> 00:28:44,989
about digging deeper
into what happened the night
508
00:28:45,056 --> 00:28:48,660
that Ashland died?
>> Sally: The family has to
509
00:28:48,726 --> 00:28:52,497
expect that someone, somewhere
eventually is going to break
510
00:28:52,564 --> 00:28:55,667
this story, in spite of their
best efforts to keep quiet.
511
00:28:55,733 --> 00:28:58,403
They need to be prepared,
and we should be prepared
512
00:28:58,470 --> 00:29:03,108
exactly what happened
in vivid detail.
513
00:29:03,174 --> 00:29:05,276
>> Chloe: Okay.
You mean just keeping it on
514
00:29:05,343 --> 00:29:07,779
file, not actually putting it
out there without the Newmans'
515
00:29:07,846 --> 00:29:09,614
approval?
>> Sally: Right.
516
00:29:09,681 --> 00:29:12,450
Yes.
And we can make sure that
517
00:29:12,517 --> 00:29:17,489
the article is sympathetic
to their point of view.
518
00:29:17,555 --> 00:29:21,059
So I was wondering,
could you find out
519
00:29:21,126 --> 00:29:27,132
if there's anything new going on
in the investigation from Kevin?
520
00:29:27,198 --> 00:29:30,034
>> Chloe: That's -- That's a
really big ask.
521
00:29:30,101 --> 00:29:34,372
I don't want to do anything that
would ever put his job at risk.
522
00:29:34,439 --> 00:29:40,879
>> Sally: I understand.
Well, how well do you know
523
00:29:40,945 --> 00:29:44,883
Chance, exactly?
>> Chloe: Uh...
524
00:29:44,949 --> 00:29:49,320
We were engaged like
a million years ago.
525
00:29:49,387 --> 00:29:52,690
>> Sally: Whoa.
[ Scoffs ]
526
00:29:52,757 --> 00:29:57,729
I did not expect that.
>> Chloe: And we are fine now.
527
00:29:57,795 --> 00:30:00,165
We haven't spoken to each other
in a really long time.
528
00:30:00,231 --> 00:30:03,134
But even if we were BFFs,
he would never tell me anything.
529
00:30:03,201 --> 00:30:06,404
He is a straight arrow.
I mean, he would never leak
530
00:30:06,471 --> 00:30:10,975
any information about an ongoing
investigation to the press.
531
00:30:11,042 --> 00:30:12,544
>> Sally: All right.
532
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:20,084
But there has to be another way.
'Cause there are still
533
00:30:20,151 --> 00:30:23,888
missing pieces to the puzzle,
and we're gonna find it.
534
00:30:25,890 --> 00:30:27,825
>> Jack: I'm not gonna push you
to make a decision about my
535
00:30:27,892 --> 00:30:31,429
offer right now, but I sincerely
hope you will consider it.
536
00:30:31,496 --> 00:30:33,665
I was just talking to my sister
Traci about how I don't want
537
00:30:33,731 --> 00:30:36,534
to get so involved in work again
that I miss seeing
538
00:30:36,601 --> 00:30:39,604
my grandson grow up.
I just need someone
539
00:30:39,671 --> 00:30:45,476
to help me steer the ship.
>> Adam: I promise that I will
540
00:30:45,543 --> 00:30:48,913
give it some serious thought.
But whatever I decide,
541
00:30:48,980 --> 00:30:51,749
it means a lot to me, Jack,
that he would make me that offer
542
00:30:51,816 --> 00:30:53,318
to begin with.
543
00:30:56,588 --> 00:30:58,556
>> Billy: Don't tell me you're
making a deal with the devil,
544
00:30:58,623 --> 00:31:02,093
Jack.
>> Adam: Look who it is --
545
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:05,964
the town busybody, butting in
where he's not invited.
546
00:31:06,030 --> 00:31:08,800
>> Billy: Oh, no.
Came by to say hi to my brother.
547
00:31:08,866 --> 00:31:10,702
>> Adam: I'm surprised you could
tear yourself away
548
00:31:10,768 --> 00:31:12,704
from your recording studio
since you so love
549
00:31:12,770 --> 00:31:15,106
the sound of your own voice.
>> Billy: Yes, that's right.
550
00:31:15,173 --> 00:31:21,112
I do have two jobs.
And you have none?
551
00:31:21,179 --> 00:31:24,082
>> Adam: I will be in touch
soon, Jack.
552
00:31:30,355 --> 00:31:32,790
>> Billy: What the hell was that
all about?
553
00:31:40,164 --> 00:31:43,268
>> Jack: I offered Adam a job at
Jabot.
554
00:31:43,334 --> 00:31:45,069
>> Billy: I'm sorry. What?
>> Jack: I could use someone to
555
00:31:45,136 --> 00:31:48,506
replace Kyle now that he's
moved over to Marchetti.
556
00:31:48,573 --> 00:31:50,808
>> Billy: I can't actually
believe what I'm hearing here.
557
00:31:50,875 --> 00:31:54,812
I mean, I know you have a soft
spot for Adam, but are you
558
00:31:54,879 --> 00:31:57,915
unaware of his actions?
Do you know how hard he's been
559
00:31:57,982 --> 00:32:00,351
trying to undermine Victoria
as the C.E.O. of Newman?
560
00:32:00,418 --> 00:32:01,853
That's not ancient history,
Jack.
561
00:32:01,919 --> 00:32:04,322
That is very recent.
>> Jack: I think we would all
562
00:32:04,389 --> 00:32:07,458
agree that Newman is not a good
environment for Adam.
563
00:32:07,525 --> 00:32:10,295
He could use a fresh start.
>> Billy: No, he can't be
564
00:32:10,361 --> 00:32:12,797
trusted in any capacity.
>> Jack: You and I see things
565
00:32:12,864 --> 00:32:16,034
differently.
Adam lashes out when he feels
566
00:32:16,100 --> 00:32:17,735
he's being attacked.
That is not what I'm doing.
567
00:32:17,802 --> 00:32:20,638
In fact, I'm doing the opposite.
I'm offering him a lifeline
568
00:32:20,705 --> 00:32:22,874
at a time he seems to need one.
>> Billy: What you are doing,
569
00:32:22,940 --> 00:32:26,244
Jack, is making a huge mistake.
>> Jack: Duly noted.
570
00:32:26,311 --> 00:32:29,514
Thank you.
Billy, you published an article
571
00:32:29,580 --> 00:32:33,418
about a monster.
You chose not to look
572
00:32:33,484 --> 00:32:36,654
beyond that at all.
I did.
573
00:32:36,721 --> 00:32:40,591
I saw a human being behind all
that bitterness and resentment.
574
00:32:40,658 --> 00:32:43,594
You might be wise to take
a second look yourself.
575
00:32:46,364 --> 00:32:49,867
>> Victoria: My husband.
He was a very charming
576
00:32:49,934 --> 00:32:54,839
and extremely intelligent
and manipulative man.
577
00:32:54,906 --> 00:32:59,143
He was used to things going his
way, but when they didn't,
578
00:32:59,210 --> 00:33:03,281
he couldn't handle it,
and he lost his grip.
579
00:33:03,348 --> 00:33:06,084
If Nicholas hadn't shown up
that night, I would have been
580
00:33:06,150 --> 00:33:09,420
in some serious trouble.
>> Chance: I don't doubt that.
581
00:33:09,487 --> 00:33:13,157
>> Victoria: And yet...
I just don't understand why
582
00:33:13,224 --> 00:33:15,727
you're wasting so much of your
time and energy investigating
583
00:33:15,793 --> 00:33:20,365
a man that no one
is going to miss.
584
00:33:20,431 --> 00:33:23,735
I mean, I promise you,
he's not worth it.
585
00:33:23,801 --> 00:33:27,138
>> Chance: You see, that's not
really how all this works.
586
00:33:27,205 --> 00:33:30,808
I don't prejudge who is
or isn't worth it
587
00:33:30,875 --> 00:33:34,445
before I go to work and start
looking for answers.
588
00:33:34,512 --> 00:33:38,249
I'm not doing this for Ashland.
I hope you know that.
589
00:33:38,316 --> 00:33:41,719
It's more for Rey.
And since he died, I've been
590
00:33:41,786 --> 00:33:45,957
trying to close every case the
way that he would close it.
591
00:33:46,023 --> 00:33:48,493
I want to live up to his
standards, which were
592
00:33:48,559 --> 00:33:51,262
extremely high.
>> Victoria: That is the highest
593
00:33:51,329 --> 00:33:53,398
compliment that you could pay
Rey.
594
00:33:53,464 --> 00:33:54,832
But honestly --
>> Chance: I get it.
595
00:33:54,899 --> 00:33:57,502
I know that's a pretty
high-minded approach
596
00:33:57,568 --> 00:34:02,240
in the world that we live in.
But here's the thing.
597
00:34:02,306 --> 00:34:06,811
We can create this world
that we live in every day
598
00:34:06,878 --> 00:34:10,481
by the choices that we make.
>> Victoria: Until someone like
599
00:34:10,548 --> 00:34:13,885
Ashland comes along and strips
you of any belief that you have
600
00:34:13,951 --> 00:34:16,521
in truth and honesty.
601
00:34:17,722 --> 00:34:18,856
>> Victor: What did Chance want?
602
00:34:18,923 --> 00:34:21,292
Well, let me just say that he
didn't like the answers I gave
603
00:34:21,359 --> 00:34:24,262
him.
>> Nikki: Because they weren't
604
00:34:24,328 --> 00:34:28,199
really answers.
Been there.
605
00:34:28,266 --> 00:34:34,138
>> Victor: Sweetheart, do you
realize how much I wanted to...
606
00:34:34,205 --> 00:34:38,576
tell you all about this?
I didn't want to drag you
607
00:34:38,643 --> 00:34:42,146
into this dirty business.
>> Nikki: I -- I understand
608
00:34:42,213 --> 00:34:45,883
that.
I mean, I've done the same,
609
00:34:45,950 --> 00:34:53,357
more than once, to protect you.
And it's always a mistake.
610
00:34:53,424 --> 00:34:56,093
We should always rely
on each other.
611
00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:59,330
We're stronger together.
>> Victor: You have no argument
612
00:34:59,397 --> 00:35:04,802
from me on that, okay?
Right now is the most important
613
00:35:04,869 --> 00:35:09,140
time for us
to stick together as a family.
614
00:35:11,742 --> 00:35:13,711
>> Sharon: Are you sure you
don't want to join us for
615
00:35:13,778 --> 00:35:15,680
dinner?
>> Nick: I appreciate it.
616
00:35:15,746 --> 00:35:17,815
I just don't think I'm gonna be
able to shake this mood,
617
00:35:17,882 --> 00:35:21,118
and I don't want Noah
or Allie to think my scowl
618
00:35:21,185 --> 00:35:25,389
has anything to do with her.
So I think I'm just gonna go for
619
00:35:25,456 --> 00:35:30,228
a run or maybe watch some
cartoons -- with Christian.
620
00:35:30,294 --> 00:35:33,064
>> Sharon: Mm-hmm.
Well, those both sound
621
00:35:33,130 --> 00:35:36,234
like really good ideas,
but try to keep in mind
622
00:35:36,300 --> 00:35:40,171
what I said before.
It was Victor's choice
623
00:35:40,238 --> 00:35:44,575
to do what he did about Ashland.
You are not responsible.
624
00:35:44,642 --> 00:35:46,277
