"If you're reading this,
you must be home -- finally.

00:00:27,494 --> 00:00:28,595
Waiting's the worst.
4
00:00:28,661 --> 00:00:32,766
When I see you again,
I'll make up for lost time."
5
00:00:32,832 --> 00:00:35,869
Aww, that's sweet.
6
00:00:47,380 --> 00:00:49,482
Hey, Billy, it's me.
7
00:00:49,549 --> 00:00:50,984
I just got your gift.
8
00:00:51,050 --> 00:00:52,085
Thank you so much.
9
00:00:52,152 --> 00:00:53,720
It's very sweet.
10
00:00:53,787 --> 00:00:55,588
I'm gonna wait to open it,
though, when you're here,
11
00:00:55,655 --> 00:01:04,197
so that way
I can thank you in person.
12
00:01:04,264 --> 00:01:07,700
[ Rattling ]
>> Chelsea: I came up with the
13
00:01:07,767 --> 00:01:10,036
best idea last night, and I
think you're gonna love it.
14
00:01:10,103 --> 00:01:11,805
>> Billy: You know,
I can get you a bowl for that.
15
00:01:11,871 --> 00:01:13,339
>> Chelsea: You know you're
killing my vibe?
16
00:01:13,406 --> 00:01:15,708
>> Billy: [ Chuckles ]
All right. Uh...
17
00:01:15,775 --> 00:01:17,911
We don't even have to be here,
actually.
18
00:01:17,977 --> 00:01:18,945
We can go to Crimson Lights.
19
00:01:19,012 --> 00:01:20,713
There's a lot more room,
and there's someone else
20
00:01:20,780 --> 00:01:22,482
to clean up your carnage.
21
00:01:22,549 --> 00:01:25,385
>> And we can riff on the whole
true-crime series
22
00:01:25,452 --> 00:01:26,553
we were contemplating earlier.
23
00:01:26,619 --> 00:01:28,922
>> Yeah, and let's just get
these a little organized, huh?
24
00:01:28,988 --> 00:01:30,256
File these away.
25
00:01:30,323 --> 00:01:31,825
>> Chelsea: Okay.
26
00:01:31,891 --> 00:01:34,160
This is a file,
or a whole filing system?
27
00:01:34,227 --> 00:01:37,597
It's all color-coordinated
and tabulated.
28
00:01:37,664 --> 00:01:38,531
Do you have a name for this?
29
00:01:38,598 --> 00:01:39,332
Like a nerdy name.
30
00:01:39,399 --> 00:01:42,368
Like, um,
the Billy Abbott Approach?
31
00:01:42,435 --> 00:01:43,503
BAA?
32
00:01:43,570 --> 00:01:46,639
Like, "Baaah," like a sheep?
33
00:01:46,706 --> 00:01:48,007
Get it?
34
00:01:48,074 --> 00:01:49,209
>> Billy: No, I do get it.
35
00:01:49,275 --> 00:01:50,543
I'm not sure it's funny.
36
00:01:50,610 --> 00:01:51,578
>> Chelsea: It is funny.
37
00:01:51,644 --> 00:01:54,280
When did you become so
fastidious, so particular?
38
00:01:54,347 --> 00:01:56,783
>> Billy: I put this studio
together to be free of
39
00:01:56,850 --> 00:01:57,817
distractions.
40
00:01:57,884 --> 00:02:03,289
So the absence of clutter
is actually on purpose.
41
00:02:03,356 --> 00:02:04,457
>> Chelsea: Okay.
42
00:02:04,524 --> 00:02:07,594
Well, I think that
crumbs add a little something.

>> Sally: Do you believe
in serendipity, detective?
51
00:02:59,178 --> 00:03:02,982
>> Chance: Well, in my line of
work, we call it a coincidence.
52
00:03:03,049 --> 00:03:05,852
And 9 times out of 10, I do not.
53
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,488
>> Sally: Well, allow this to be
your exception, because you were
54
00:03:08,555 --> 00:03:11,691
just the man I wanted to see.
55
00:03:11,758 --> 00:03:13,927

time we spoke, you were helping

Abby pick out a wedding dress.

Congratulations.

>> Sally: Thank you.
60
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,069
My amazing new job is actually
why I wanted to talk with you.
61
00:03:23,136 --> 00:03:26,272
My reporters are having a heck
of a time wrangling information
62
00:03:26,339 --> 00:03:28,975
from our usual sources
at the station.
63
00:03:29,042 --> 00:03:30,610
>> Chance: You don't say.
64
00:03:30,677 --> 00:03:31,210
>> Sally: Yeah.
65
00:03:31,277 --> 00:03:33,646
So what's the trick?
66
00:03:33,713 --> 00:03:34,581
Tell me.
67
00:03:34,647 --> 00:03:38,084
Do they fear you, or do they
respect you?
68
00:03:38,151 --> 00:03:39,352
>> Chance: Oh. Uh...
69
00:03:39,419 --> 00:03:41,988
Maybe it's a healthy dose
of both.
70
00:03:42,055 --> 00:03:43,990
>> Sally: Well, it is terribly
frustrating, to tell you the
71
00:03:44,057 --> 00:03:45,825
truth.
72
00:03:45,892 --> 00:03:48,895
When can we expect
an official update on this
73
00:03:48,962 --> 00:03:51,230
mysterious investigation?
74
00:03:53,333 --> 00:03:57,303
>> Victor: Chance's team was
able to recover some
75
00:03:57,370 --> 00:04:00,340
video footage from the gas
station where Ashland
76
00:04:00,406 --> 00:04:01,774
parked his car.
77
00:04:01,841 --> 00:04:03,810
>> Nick: You got to be kidding
me.
78
00:04:03,876 --> 00:04:05,311
>> Nikki: What's on the tape?
79
00:04:05,378 --> 00:04:07,046
>> Victoria: Did you see it?
80
00:04:07,113 --> 00:04:09,215
>> Victor: Man got into a car
and drove away.
81
00:04:09,282 --> 00:04:10,450
That's all.
82
00:04:10,516 --> 00:04:12,518
>> Nick: One of your security
guys?
83
00:04:12,585 --> 00:04:14,287
>> Victor: Could've been.
84
00:04:14,354 --> 00:04:16,456
Quality of the video wasn't very
good.
85
00:04:16,522 --> 00:04:18,758
>> Nikki: Well, that could've
been anyone.
86
00:04:18,825 --> 00:04:22,161
>> Victor: Well, anyone but
Ashland.
87
00:04:22,228 --> 00:04:23,396
Ashland didn't smoke.
88
00:04:23,463 --> 00:04:25,298
This guy had a cigarette.
89
00:04:25,365 --> 00:04:28,601
>> Victoria: So the police found
a cigarette butt at that
90
00:04:28,668 --> 00:04:29,602
location.
91
00:04:29,669 --> 00:04:32,705
Do you think it could've been
one of your guys?
92
00:04:32,772 --> 00:04:35,308
>> Nick: All they have to do
is run a DNA test.
93
00:04:35,375 --> 00:04:38,211
>> Victor: Yeah, there's that
possibility.
94
00:04:38,277 --> 00:04:40,780
>> Nikki: And then it's just a
quick game of connect the dots,
95
00:04:40,847 --> 00:04:43,449
and it comes back to us.
96
00:04:43,516 --> 00:04:45,952
>> Victor: To me.
97
00:04:46,019 --> 00:04:50,456
>> Nikki: How could someone
on your staff be so careless?
98
00:04:50,523 --> 00:04:54,360
>> Nick: This is exactly what I
was worried was gonna happen.
99
00:04:54,427 --> 00:04:55,795
So what's the plan now, Dad?
100
00:04:55,862 --> 00:04:57,864
What are we supposed to do?
101
00:05:08,241 --> 00:05:09,509
>> Sally: Don't worry.
102
00:05:09,575 --> 00:05:12,512
I'm not at all offended
by your refusal to discuss
103
00:05:12,578 --> 00:05:13,446
Locke's death.
104
00:05:13,513 --> 00:05:15,682
>> Chance: Well, thanks for
understanding.
105
00:05:15,748 --> 00:05:19,585
>> Sally: Because I know that
you understand the position
106
00:05:19,652 --> 00:05:21,254
I'm in.
107
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:22,221
>> Chance: Yeah.
108
00:05:22,288 --> 00:05:23,589
You run a media company.
109
00:05:23,656 --> 00:05:27,126
Death of a tycoon seems pretty
newsworthy, if you ask me.
110
00:05:27,193 --> 00:05:29,062
Not to mention the fact
that you are new at this,
111
00:05:29,128 --> 00:05:33,733
so might feel like
you have something to prove.
112
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,135
>> Sally: Why, Detective,
I have the unsettling feeling
113
00:05:36,202 --> 00:05:38,271
that I have just been analyzed.
114
00:05:38,337 --> 00:05:40,773
You really do know
how to read people.
115
00:05:40,840 --> 00:05:43,309
And you are very polite
for not bringing Adam
116
00:05:43,376 --> 00:05:46,079
into the conversation,
though, of course,
117
00:05:46,145 --> 00:05:48,915
he's another reason why I feel
the need to prove to everyone
118
00:05:48,981 --> 00:05:50,583
that I'm up for the job.
119
00:05:50,650 --> 00:05:53,119
He elevated me to CEO,
told me he believed in me.
120
00:05:53,186 --> 00:05:55,688
And then...what does he do?
121
00:05:55,755 --> 00:05:59,692
He breaks up and walks away
in what was one of the
122
00:05:59,759 --> 00:06:02,995
most difficult moments
I've had in a really long time.
123
00:06:03,062 --> 00:06:05,098
>> Chance: Well, I'm sorry about
that.
124
00:06:05,164 --> 00:06:09,001
But I, uh, am not all that
surprised.
125
00:06:09,068 --> 00:06:10,470
You might not feel like it
right now,
126
00:06:10,536 --> 00:06:11,504
but you are better off.
127
00:06:11,571 --> 00:06:12,672
Trust me.
128
00:06:12,739 --> 00:06:14,674
>> Sally: Well, you're the
latest in a long line of people
129
00:06:14,741 --> 00:06:15,942
to tell me that.
130
00:06:16,008 --> 00:06:18,411
>> Chance: People that tend to
get sucked into his orbit,
131
00:06:18,478 --> 00:06:19,979
they live to regret it.
132
00:06:20,046 --> 00:06:23,483
>> Sally: I told myself that we
were a good fit, two people
133
00:06:23,549 --> 00:06:25,485
with a checkered past
who wouldn't judge each other,
134
00:06:25,551 --> 00:06:28,988
and I was gonna be the one
who finally made him feel safe
135
00:06:29,055 --> 00:06:32,425
and accepted and truly loved.
136
00:06:32,492 --> 00:06:35,795
Spoiler alert -- didn't work out
that way.
137
00:06:35,862 --> 00:06:39,332
>> Chance: Yeah, well, Adam,
he is just really good at
138
00:06:39,398 --> 00:06:41,734
letting people down, isn't he?
139
00:06:41,801 --> 00:06:42,969
>> Sally: Yeah.
140
00:06:43,035 --> 00:06:46,038
Well, I'm aware that it could
have been a heck of a lot worse.
141
00:06:46,105 --> 00:06:47,840
At least I didn't have to
take a bullet for him
142
00:06:47,907 --> 00:06:49,776
before I realized
what he was all about.
143
00:06:49,842 --> 00:06:51,844
>> Chance: Yeah.
144
00:06:54,247 --> 00:06:56,249
>> Chelsea: How did this happen?
145
00:06:56,315 --> 00:06:58,551
The notorious Billy Abbott
is now the buttoned-down guy
146
00:06:58,618 --> 00:06:59,786
you bring home to mom.
147
00:06:59,852 --> 00:07:01,854
>> Billy: I don't think there's
anything wrong with trying to
148
00:07:01,921 --> 00:07:04,323
maintain a professional
atmosphere, like not having
149
00:07:04,390 --> 00:07:06,058
popcorn on the floor.
150
00:07:06,125 --> 00:07:07,660
>> Okay. Whatever you say,
grandpa.
151
00:07:07,727 --> 00:07:08,528
I mean, do you hear yourself?
152
00:07:08,594 --> 00:07:09,362
Who are you?
153
00:07:09,428 --> 00:07:11,164
>> Billy: Oh, Lord. Really?
154
00:07:11,230 --> 00:07:13,132
I mean, that's a first --
somebody's complaining that I'm
155
00:07:13,199 --> 00:07:14,233
actually a rule follower.
156
00:07:14,300 --> 00:07:16,769
>> Chelsea: Yeah, kind of
off-brand for you, isn't it?
157
00:07:16,836 --> 00:07:18,971
>> Billy: Yeah, I would say so,
maybe.
158
00:07:19,038 --> 00:07:20,540
You give me a line, and I will
cross it.
159
00:07:20,606 --> 00:07:22,108
You give me a order,
I will give you disorder.
160
00:07:22,175 --> 00:07:24,377
It's actually gotten me
into some pretty good trouble
161
00:07:24,443 --> 00:07:25,678
over the years.
162
00:07:25,745 --> 00:07:27,847
>> Chelsea: Kind of how things
got tricky with Victoria
163
00:07:27,914 --> 00:07:30,183
back in the day, right?
164
00:07:30,249 --> 00:07:31,984
>> Billy: I have my regrets,
yeah.
165
00:07:32,051 --> 00:07:34,086
>> Chelsea: And now look how the
pendulum just swings in the
166
00:07:34,153 --> 00:07:35,221
opposite direction.
167
00:07:35,288 --> 00:07:36,722
>> Billy: Not quite sure
what you mean by that.
168
00:07:36,789 --> 00:07:37,790
>> Chelsea: Come on.
169
00:07:37,857 --> 00:07:40,693
You have to know you're a little
uptight these days.
170
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:42,895
>> Billy: Are you saying that I
have become boring and
171
00:07:42,962 --> 00:07:44,163
predictable?
172
00:07:44,230 --> 00:07:45,898
What, since I started dating
Lily?
173
00:07:45,965 --> 00:07:47,733
>> Chelsea: Oh, I don't blame
Lily.
174
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:49,802
This is all on you.
175
00:07:52,371 --> 00:07:56,576
>> Victor: There's nothing for
us to do right now but sit back
176
00:07:56,642 --> 00:08:00,146
and wait until we find out
what evidence Chance finds.
177
00:08:00,213 --> 00:08:02,415
>> Victoria: I think he's made
it pretty clear that he's going
178
00:08:02,481 --> 00:08:05,017
to keep digging until he finds
the whole truth.
179
00:08:05,084 --> 00:08:07,553
>> Nikki: The minute the media
find out we're involved,
180
00:08:07,620 --> 00:08:09,922
it will be a nightmare.
181
00:08:09,989 --> 00:08:11,123
>> Nick: You're right, Mom.
182
00:08:11,190 --> 00:08:13,326
We need to get out in front of
this.
183
00:08:13,392 --> 00:08:15,328
>> Victoria: What about the
statement that we released
184
00:08:15,394 --> 00:08:16,128
previously?
185
00:08:16,195 --> 00:08:17,630
>> Nick: That's not gonna cut
it.
186
00:08:17,697 --> 00:08:19,065
We need to hire a crisis
P.R. firm.
187
00:08:19,131 --> 00:08:20,933
We should probably get
Michael Baldwin on this.
188
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:24,270
>> Victor: Michael Baldwin is
busy with other issues, okay?
189
00:08:24,337 --> 00:08:26,405
We just have to sit back now.
190
00:08:26,472 --> 00:08:28,741
Reserve our options, that's all.
191
00:08:28,808 --> 00:08:30,276
Be patient.
192
00:08:30,343 --> 00:08:33,779
Meanwhile, I talked to
Sally Spectra,
193
00:08:33,846 --> 00:08:39,352
and I asked her to tamp down
the news about Ashland's death.
194
00:08:39,418 --> 00:08:41,087
>> Nick: When did you do this?
195
00:08:41,153 --> 00:08:43,256
>> Victor: This morning.
196
00:08:43,322 --> 00:08:45,558
Made it pretty clear to her.
197
00:08:45,625 --> 00:08:48,761
>> Nick: Meaning you went
to intimidate her.
198
00:08:48,828 --> 00:08:50,096
Dad, when are you gonna get it?
199
00:08:50,162 --> 00:08:51,731
You're not making things better.
200
00:08:51,797 --> 00:08:53,866
You're just making things worse.
201
00:09:01,073 --> 00:09:03,009
>> Billy: But if I'm so uptight,
then why do you want to work
202
00:09:03,075 --> 00:09:03,910
with me?
203
00:09:03,976 --> 00:09:05,945
>> Chelsea: Because
Podcast Billy is fun.
204
00:09:06,012 --> 00:09:09,382
Podcast Billy is charming,
witty, thoughtful.
205
00:09:09,448 --> 00:09:10,750
Oh, and don't forget irreverent.
206
00:09:10,816 --> 00:09:11,951
>> Billy: How could I?
207
00:09:12,018 --> 00:09:13,853
>> Chelsea: Honestly, it's a
relief to know you haven't lost
208
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:15,721
that side of yourself.
209
00:09:15,788 --> 00:09:18,090
>> Billy: Well, you know,
it's all about balance.
210
00:09:18,157 --> 00:09:19,592
Everything in moderation, right?
211
00:09:19,659 --> 00:09:23,763
Because problems happen when I
go too far in any one direction.
212
00:09:23,829 --> 00:09:24,864
>> Chelsea: Well, I get that.
213
00:09:24,931 --> 00:09:26,766
But I don't think you should
have to monitor yourself.
214
00:09:26,832 --> 00:09:28,301
You don't want to live like
that.
215
00:09:28,367 --> 00:09:30,736
You just need to relax,
breathe a little.
216
00:09:30,803 --> 00:09:31,537
>> Billy: I am relaxed.
217
00:09:31,604 --> 00:09:32,872
>> Chelsea: It doesn't seem like
it.
218
00:09:32,939 --> 00:09:34,540
>> Billy: How did we get on this
topic in the first place?
219
00:09:34,607 --> 00:09:36,142
>> Chelsea: You know, I think
it was the index cards that
220
00:09:36,208 --> 00:09:37,276
threw us over the edge.
221
00:09:37,343 --> 00:09:38,377
If it makes you uncomfortable
we'll change the subject.
222
00:09:38,444 --> 00:09:39,745
>> Billy: Yeah, no, that's a
good idea.
223
00:09:39,812 --> 00:09:40,947
I can definitely
get behind that.
224
00:09:41,013 --> 00:09:42,448
Let's talk about you and your
issues now.
225
00:09:42,515 --> 00:09:43,883
>> Chelsea: I have had plenty of
therapy.
226
00:09:43,950 --> 00:09:45,952
Bring it on.
227
00:09:47,687 --> 00:09:50,256
>> Victor: Son, why would you
take issue with me talking to
228
00:09:50,323 --> 00:09:51,791
Sally Spectra?
229
00:09:51,857 --> 00:09:54,560
Isn't that what you did earlier
when you asked her to turn down
230
00:09:54,627 --> 00:09:56,529
the news about Ashland's death?
231
00:09:56,595 --> 00:09:58,130
>> Nick: I didn't use coercion.
232
00:09:58,197 --> 00:10:00,733
I told her that we would respect
the firewall between the owners
233
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:04,270
of Newman Media and the people
making the editorial decisions.
234
00:10:04,337 --> 00:10:06,639
>> Victor: And you honestly
think it was a happy accident
235
00:10:06,706 --> 00:10:10,142
that she did exactly what was
beneficial to our family?
236
00:10:10,209 --> 00:10:11,711
Think again.
237
00:10:11,777 --> 00:10:15,081
She knew it was the right thing
to do, what would benefit us.
238
00:10:15,147 --> 00:10:16,182
Okay?
239
00:10:16,248 --> 00:10:18,451
And she bloody well should have.
240
00:10:18,517 --> 00:10:20,786
>> Nick: She promised me that
she was gonna wait until she had
241
00:10:20,853 --> 00:10:23,489
more information about that
night, and it sounds like
242
00:10:23,556 --> 00:10:24,590
it's gonna be any minute now.
243
00:10:24,657 --> 00:10:26,125
>> Victoria: What are you
saying, Nick?
244
00:10:26,192 --> 00:10:28,194
>> Nick: Just think about it,
how it's gonna look if all these
245
00:10:28,260 --> 00:10:30,997
other news outlets are running
with the story about how Ashland
246
00:10:31,063 --> 00:10:33,299
really died and we've got
nothing.
247
00:10:33,366 --> 00:10:35,735
>> Victoria: It would look like
we've suppressed the coverage.
248
00:10:35,801 --> 00:10:37,970
>> Nikki: Like we have something
to hide.
249
00:10:38,037 --> 00:10:40,206
It could start a feeding frenzy.
250
00:10:40,272 --> 00:10:43,209
>> Nick: And it could severely
damage Newman Media's reputation
251
00:10:43,275 --> 00:10:45,311
for journalistic integrity.
252
00:10:45,378 --> 00:10:49,949
>> Victor: I don't give a damn
how that looks, okay?
253
00:10:50,016 --> 00:10:52,318
>> Nick: Vic, you know I'm
right.
254
00:10:52,385 --> 00:10:55,388
>> Victoria: Look, I'm not up
for this debate.
255
00:10:55,454 --> 00:10:58,858
I am so tired of thinking about
that hellish night.
256
00:10:58,924 --> 00:11:00,760
I just -- I need for this to be
over.
257
00:11:00,826 --> 00:11:02,261
>> Nikki: Darling, you need to
take a break.
258
00:11:02,328 --> 00:11:04,196
Why don't you go get some air?
259
00:11:04,263 --> 00:11:05,097
>> Victoria: Fine.
260
00:11:05,164 --> 00:11:06,232
I'm gonna go check on the kids.
261
00:11:06,298 --> 00:11:08,300
They're playing outside.
262
00:11:13,272 --> 00:11:16,275
>> Nick: Let's just --
Let's just take a minute here --
263
00:11:16,342 --> 00:11:17,543
okay? -- and think about this.
264
00:11:17,610 --> 00:11:19,578
It's not too late to change
course.
265
00:11:19,645 --> 00:11:21,614
>> Victor: Enough!
266
00:11:21,680 --> 00:11:23,682
End of discussion.
267
00:11:27,653 --> 00:11:35,227
[ Door opens, closes ]
>> Sally: When it comes to Adam,
268
00:11:35,294 --> 00:11:38,030
we actually have
a lot in common.
269
00:11:38,097 --> 00:11:40,433
We both thought we could reach
out to him, help him change his
270
00:11:40,499 --> 00:11:43,469
life, and we both got burned.
271
00:11:43,536 --> 00:11:47,440
>> Chance: What exactly did he
tell you about our relationship?
272
00:11:47,506 --> 00:11:49,642
>> Sally: Well, that you two
were buddies back in his Vegas
273
00:11:49,708 --> 00:11:50,876
card-shark days.
274
00:11:50,943 --> 00:11:55,014
Apparently, you were some badass
undercover agent at the time.
275
00:11:55,081 --> 00:11:58,217
>> Chance: Well, something like
that.
276
00:11:58,284 --> 00:12:00,186
>> Sally: But then when you both
ended up back in Genoa City,
277
00:12:00,252 --> 00:12:02,254
you couldn't deal with the crap
he was pulling, and the bromance
278
00:12:02,321 --> 00:12:03,889
ended.
279
00:12:03,956 --> 00:12:06,559
But you still took
a bullet for him.
280
00:12:06,625 --> 00:12:08,727
Which is metaphorically
how I felt whenever I
281
00:12:08,794 --> 00:12:12,798
temporarily lost my self-respect
and begged him to admit
282
00:12:12,865 --> 00:12:18,471
that he still wanted me,
only to get rejected again.
283
00:12:18,537 --> 00:12:20,539
>> Chance: When you put it that
way, I guess we do have some
284
00:12:20,606 --> 00:12:21,373
things in common.
285
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:22,608
>> Sally: Mm-hmm.
286
00:12:22,675 --> 00:12:25,044
I mean, it'd be one thing if we
could wash our hands clean of
287
00:12:25,111 --> 00:12:27,746
him entirely, but it's not that
simple, is it?
288
00:12:27,813 --> 00:12:30,049
I mean, you washed your hands
clean of him, but he's
289
00:12:30,116 --> 00:12:31,250
your brother-in-law.
290
00:12:31,317 --> 00:12:34,920
And now, strangely enough,
because of the investigation,
291
00:12:34,987 --> 00:12:36,789
he won't leave me alone.
292
00:12:36,856 --> 00:12:37,656
>> Chance: Oh, yeah?
293
00:12:37,723 --> 00:12:39,825
Why's that?
294
00:12:39,892 --> 00:12:42,661
>> Sally: Well, he's curious
about it.
295
00:12:42,728 --> 00:12:45,531
Borderline obsessed.
296
00:12:45,598 --> 00:12:50,936
He says that he heard a rumor
that Victor is involved somehow,
297
00:12:51,003 --> 00:12:53,239
and he keeps coming to me,
hoping that I can validate
298
00:12:53,305 --> 00:12:56,842
these claims,
which is just fully ridiculous.
299
00:12:56,909 --> 00:12:59,578
>> Chance: Well, I wouldn't say
it's fully ridiculous.
300
00:12:59,645 --> 00:13:01,213
You do work at Newman Tower.
301
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:03,215
People talk.
302
00:13:03,282 --> 00:13:06,886
>> Sally: Yeah, not the ones who
like being gainfully employed.
303
00:13:06,952 --> 00:13:08,621
How do you think that would go
over?
304
00:13:08,687 --> 00:13:11,957
"Hey, boss, here's your latest
sales figures.
305
00:13:12,024 --> 00:13:15,294
It's pretty crazy about your ex
dying in that car accident.
306
00:13:15,361 --> 00:13:19,532
You don't suppose your dad
had anything to do with that?"
307

>> Chance: Still.
308
00:13:21,634 --> 00:13:24,803
>> Sally: Yeah, and unlike Adam,
I don't want to believe that
309
00:13:24,870 --> 00:13:27,206
there's truth to any of the
gossip, because Victoria has
310
00:13:27,273 --> 00:13:28,741
already been through so much.
311
00:13:28,807 --> 00:13:29,775
All the Newmans have.
312
00:13:29,842 --> 00:13:32,611
I believe that they deserve to
have their Locke era
313
00:13:32,678 --> 00:13:34,680
come to an end.
314
00:13:38,250 --> 00:13:39,852
Hmm.
315
00:13:39,919 --> 00:13:43,222
Your silence speaks volumes.
316
00:13:43,289 --> 00:13:45,224
Is that your way of saying
things are about to get a lot
317
00:13:45,291 --> 00:13:46,692
more difficult?
318
00:13:46,759 --> 00:13:48,727
>> Chance: Actually, I was
thinking it's about time for me
319
00:13:48,794 --> 00:13:49,862
to get out of here.
320
00:13:49,929 --> 00:13:51,497
Very nice to see you,
Miss Spectra.

00:13:51,564 --> 00:13:53,566
>> Sally: You too, detective.
322
00:13:58,604 --> 00:14:02,374
>> Adam: Well, that was
interesting.
323
00:14:02,441 --> 00:14:05,644
>> Sally: [ Scoffs ]
How long have you been lurking
324
00:14:05,711 --> 00:14:07,980
there?
325
00:14:08,047 --> 00:14:10,916
>> Adam: Long enough to see you
trying to wheedle information
326
00:14:10,983 --> 00:14:13,252
out of Chance.
327
00:14:20,192 --> 00:14:22,795
>> Sally: You got me the job,
broke up with me
328
00:14:22,861 --> 00:14:25,297
so I could keep the job,
and now you're complaining
329
00:14:25,364 --> 00:14:28,267
that I'm doing the job?
330
00:14:28,334 --> 00:14:32,204
>> Adam: Sally, you are the CEO
of Newman Media.
331
00:14:32,271 --> 00:14:35,207
You're not a cub reporter.
332
00:14:35,274 --> 00:14:37,543
It's a good thing, too,
since you had no success getting
333
00:14:37,610 --> 00:14:39,979
Chance to open his mouth.
334
00:14:40,045 --> 00:14:44,316
>> Sally: Is this fun for you?
335
00:14:44,383 --> 00:14:46,552
Giving me a hard time?
336
00:14:46,619 --> 00:14:51,156
>> Adam: No, that's not my
intention.
337
00:14:51,223 --> 00:14:53,058
I'd actually decided
the next time I saw you,
338
00:14:53,125 --> 00:14:57,029
I was going to agree
to your proposition,
339
00:14:57,096 --> 00:15:00,032
that I would share my true
feelings about our breakup
340
00:15:00,099 --> 00:15:03,469
in exchange for what you know
about Ashland's death.
341
00:15:03,535 --> 00:15:05,671
But after seeing you with
Chance, I've realized
342
00:15:05,738 --> 00:15:06,739
that you were bluffing.
343
00:15:06,805 --> 00:15:10,409
You have no idea what happened
the night Locke died.
344
00:15:10,476 --> 00:15:12,311
>> Sally: You're wrong.
345
00:15:12,378 --> 00:15:14,647
I'm not about to share what Nick
told me with the detective
346
00:15:14,713 --> 00:15:16,682
who's investigating him.
347

>> Adam: [ Breathes deeply ]
Look, if we're still
348
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:24,056
gonna trade secrets,
you're gonna need to be the one
349
00:15:24,123 --> 00:15:26,125
who goes first.
350
00:15:30,195 --> 00:15:31,830
>> Nick: Mom, I said I didn't
want tea.
351
00:15:31,897 --> 00:15:34,300
>> Nikki: I know, but drink it
anyway.
352
00:15:34,366 --> 00:15:37,469
We all need to take a moment
to calm ourselves.
353
00:15:37,536 --> 00:15:40,039
I know I do.
354
00:15:40,105 --> 00:15:41,240
>> Nick: You're right.
355
00:15:41,307 --> 00:15:43,409
The most important thing is
that you keep your stress level
356
00:15:43,475 --> 00:15:45,177
under control.
357
00:15:45,244 --> 00:15:47,379
And I know I'm just adding to
it, but, Mom, I'm telling you,
358
00:15:47,446 --> 00:15:49,782
the family hasn't faced
something this big in a long
359
00:15:49,848 --> 00:15:51,050

360
00:15:51,116 --> 00:15:54,086
Dad thinks we can just tough
it out and stand our ground,
361
00:15:54,153 --> 00:15:57,389
but the fact is --
>> Nikki: I know.
362
00:15:57,456 --> 00:15:59,725
He can go to prison.
363
00:15:59,792 --> 00:16:01,727
I've thought of nothing else
since I learned how involved
364
00:16:01,794 --> 00:16:03,762
he is in this.
365
00:16:03,829 --> 00:16:05,998

you.

00:16:06,065 --> 00:16:08,967
Please have a meet with Michael
and just go over
367

his legal options.
368
00:16:10,602 --> 00:16:12,571
Dad says he doesn't care
what people think about him,
369
00:16:12,638 --> 00:16:14,873
but he has to think about
the company right now.
370
00:16:14,940 --> 00:16:16,608
Public perception matters.
371
00:16:16,675 --> 00:16:19,011
If we prevent our own media
outlets from running this
372
00:16:19,078 --> 00:16:20,946
story --
>> Nikki: Look, nobody is
373
00:16:21,013 --> 00:16:26,185
talking about an all-out ban,
just some editorial discretion.
374
00:16:26,251 --> 00:16:28,220
>> Nick: If we're too
heavy-handed about it, it's
375
00:16:28,287 --> 00:16:31,090
gonna look like a blatant
cover-up.
376
00:16:31,156 --> 00:16:33,425
>> Nikki: You seem to think
that we should publish
377

people's worst suspicions
before anything Chance can find
378
00:16:36,995 --> 00:16:39,198
even comes to light.
379
00:16:39,264 --> 00:16:41,367
I don't see
how that can be helpful.
380
00:16:41,433 --> 00:16:49,875

Dad on this?
381
00:16:49,942 --> 00:16:51,543
>> Victor: Thank you.
382
00:16:57,716 --> 00:16:59,084
Ah, my boy.

>> Victor: Join me.
385
00:17:03,455 --> 00:17:08,727
So, when is the last time your
grandfather bought you drink?
386
00:17:08,794 --> 00:17:11,163
>> Noah: I am gonna say...
387
00:17:11,230 --> 00:17:12,197
it's been too long.
388
00:17:12,264 --> 00:17:13,198
Let's do it.

grandson.
391
00:17:18,437 --> 00:17:23,409
So, have you found an alternate
location for your nightclub?
392
00:17:23,475 --> 00:17:24,810
>> Noah: I think so.
393
00:17:24,877 --> 00:17:26,278
>> Victor: Glad to hear that.
394
00:17:26,345 --> 00:17:28,380
Sorry I couldn't accommodate you
at Top of the Tower.
395
00:17:28,447 --> 00:17:31,083
>> Noah: Eh, it's all good.
396
00:17:31,150 --> 00:17:33,385
Uh, there is something
I'd like to discuss, though,
397
00:17:33,452 --> 00:17:34,887
if you have time.
398
00:17:34,953 --> 00:17:36,755
>> Victor: Sure.
399
00:17:36,822 --> 00:17:38,824
>> Noah: The other day, when we
were here talking about the
400
00:17:38,891 --> 00:17:42,194
club, that was right after
Ashland died.
401
00:17:42,261 --> 00:17:44,229
It wasn't until afterwards
I realized you must have known
402
00:17:44,296 --> 00:17:46,532
about it, but...
403
00:17:46,598 --> 00:17:48,834
But you didn't say anything.
404
00:17:48,901 --> 00:17:51,670
It's just been on my mind
ever since.
405
00:17:51,737 --> 00:17:53,739
What was that about?
406
00:17:57,309 --> 00:17:59,178
>> Victoria: Nate, hi.
407
00:17:59,244 --> 00:18:02,815
>> Nate: Hey, it's been a while.
408
00:18:02,881 --> 00:18:05,184
>> Victoria: Do you mind if I
sit?
409
00:18:05,250 --> 00:18:08,987
>> Nate: Please.
410
00:18:09,054 --> 00:18:11,890
>> Victoria: Thank you so much
for the voicemail that you left
411
00:18:11,957 --> 00:18:14,960
me after the news broke about
Ashland.
412
00:18:15,027 --> 00:18:17,129
That was really kind of you.
413
00:18:17,196 --> 00:18:19,565
I'm sorry if I didn't respond.
414
00:18:19,631 --> 00:18:21,433
It's just difficult to know
what to say.
415
00:18:21,500 --> 00:18:23,602
>> Nate: No, no, I understand.
416
00:18:23,669 --> 00:18:25,637
I was just concerned.
417
00:18:25,704 --> 00:18:27,806
I know you've been through
a lot, and I wanted you to know
418
00:18:27,873 --> 00:18:31,310
you have friends that are here
for you.
419
00:18:31,376 --> 00:18:32,744
>> Victoria: I'm okay.
420
00:18:32,811 --> 00:18:34,279
Mostly.
421
00:18:34,346 --> 00:18:37,583
>> Nate: But if you need someone
to listen while you vent about
422
00:18:37,649 --> 00:18:41,520
what a bastard Ashland was,
I'm your guy.
423
00:18:41,587 --> 00:18:42,621
>> Victoria: Nate...
424
00:18:42,688 --> 00:18:43,689
>> Nate: I'm sorry.
425
00:18:43,755 --> 00:18:45,057
Was that too harsh?
426
00:18:45,123 --> 00:18:47,125
>> Victoria: No, don't be sorry.
427
00:18:47,192 --> 00:18:49,695
I actually appreciate
your candor.
428
00:18:49,761 --> 00:18:53,732
Ashland was a bastard, but I
won't be doing any venting.
429
00:18:53,799 --> 00:18:59,137
I've decided that I want to move
on from that chapter of my life.
430
00:18:59,204 --> 00:19:03,008

said than done.

talked out about Ashland.
433
00:19:36,608 --> 00:19:40,846
So in the spirit of moving on,
how are things going
434

at Chancellor-Winters?
435
00:19:43,315 --> 00:19:44,283

Real good.

>> Victoria: Yeah?
438
00:19:46,652 --> 00:19:50,355
You're not regretting the pivot
to corporate life?
439
00:19:50,422 --> 00:19:53,759
>> Nate: It's not without
its challenges, but you can say
440
00:19:53,825 --> 00:19:56,395
the same about anything worth
doing.
441
00:19:56,461 --> 00:19:57,329

442
00:19:57,396 --> 00:19:59,498
Well...
443
00:19:59,565 --> 00:20:03,402
I know that he who shall not be
named had his own selfish
444
00:20:03,468 --> 00:20:06,138
reasons for wanting to recruit
you to Newman,
445
00:20:06,204 --> 00:20:10,842
but I will always think of you
as the one who got away.

thing I've heard all day.

very happy where you're at,
working with your cousins.

said earlier about challenges?
450
00:20:22,988 --> 00:20:25,190
It applies
to working with family.
451
00:20:25,257 --> 00:20:27,726

>> Victoria: Yes, I am very glad
that's over.
455
00:20:34,900 --> 00:20:38,537
Although working with family
members that I love and respect
456
00:20:38,604 --> 00:20:41,273
can also be very complicated.

issue.
461
00:20:49,314 --> 00:20:53,085
They treat you differently than
they would any other colleague.
462

>> Victoria: Yes.
463
00:20:54,252 --> 00:20:57,656
But with every new situation,
there are growing pains.
464
00:20:57,723 --> 00:20:59,725

You have a very bright mind,

it not to.
476

intuitive.
477

And your instincts are right.

mean something's coming and

something not so good.

00:21:42,834 --> 00:21:47,973

all right, okay?

how I do things,

point about Newman Media
maintaining their integrity,

but we don't have to be the ones
to break the story.

wait and see, like Dad does.

>> Nikki: Well, it just makes
sense.
500
00:22:45,964 --> 00:22:50,001
A-And that way, Newman Media
could be truthful in reporting
501

but not crossing the line
into self-incrimination.
502
00:22:53,205 --> 00:22:55,640

is, the family intends

to exert influence
over the nature of the coverage,

that Newman Media's coverage
of the Newman family

for reminding me why it's best
517
00:23:36,047 --> 00:23:37,682
that we are apart.
518
00:23:37,749 --> 00:23:38,650

519
00:23:38,717 --> 00:23:40,252
Will you hold on a second?

>> Sally: [ Sighs ]
>> Adam: What did I do?
521
00:23:42,788 --> 00:23:46,558
>> Sally: You're treating this
like it's a game.
522
00:23:46,625 --> 00:23:49,761
Talking about our breakup and
the way that you made me feel,
523
00:23:49,828 --> 00:23:52,264
I mean, it's funny to you,
apparently.
524
00:23:52,330 --> 00:23:53,765
You're that cruel.
525
00:23:53,832 --> 00:23:57,836
>> Adam: Sally, you were the one
who set the terms of this deal.
526
00:23:57,903 --> 00:24:00,772
>> Sally: Yes, I did, because I
was looking for some scrap of
527
00:24:00,839 --> 00:24:03,475
validation from you,
and I was willing to use
528
00:24:03,542 --> 00:24:05,577
whatever leverage necessary
to get it.
529
00:24:05,644 --> 00:24:08,246
But I shouldn't have to beg
and barter for you to treat me
530
00:24:08,313 --> 00:24:11,483
with basic human decency.
531
00:24:11,550 --> 00:24:14,486

00:24:14,553 --> 00:24:16,354
You're right.

00:24:16,421 --> 00:24:19,024
Nick never told me
anything about the night

that Ashland died.
535
00:24:20,225 --> 00:24:22,661
I have no insider information
whatsoever, which I'm sure
536
00:24:22,727 --> 00:24:24,596
is a huge relief to you.
537
00:24:24,663 --> 00:24:26,765
Now you don't have to muster
whatever effort it would have
538
00:24:26,832 --> 00:24:35,040
taken for you to eke out
a few kind words for me.
539
00:24:35,106 --> 00:24:38,977

a damn anyway.

ahead and made a decision
574
00:25:48,113 --> 00:25:50,782
without getting approval from me
first, and then he got
575
00:25:50,849 --> 00:25:53,385
a little sensitive
when I called him out about it.
576
00:25:53,451 --> 00:25:55,954
I think he's just struggling
with not being the head guy

Memorial and having people

that he needs a mentor, whether

worse than that.

He got completely angry
and offended and said that
588
00:26:16,374 --> 00:26:18,310

and had the nerve to accuse me

And I can help you win her
trust.

00:27:28,046 --> 00:27:31,983

if anything, she knows.

Have you seen me dragged
downtown to be interrogated?
642
00:28:54,032 --> 00:28:56,634

is, is that Nicholas has a lot

on his shoulders.
644
00:28:58,269 --> 00:29:02,574

He wants to fix things, but I

it was completely up to you

>> Devon: Believe me, I know
that.
668
00:30:17,248 --> 00:30:19,450
But I kind of feel like that's
half the problem, because I
669
00:30:19,517 --> 00:30:22,220
don't think Nate would
be reacting the way he's been
670
00:30:22,287 --> 00:30:24,522
if his boss wasn't his cousin.
671

>> Lily: I mean,
are you not overstating things?
672
00:30:28,159 --> 00:30:30,128
A double booking
could be a very simple mistake.
673
00:30:30,195 --> 00:30:32,997
>> Devon: This is the second
time that Nate has just taken
674
00:30:33,064 --> 00:30:35,900
the initiative on his own,
which is a nice way of saying
675
00:30:35,967 --> 00:30:38,736
that he's making moves, and
he's -- he's pulling triggers
676
00:30:38,803 --> 00:30:41,272
without getting my approval
first.
677
00:30:41,339 --> 00:30:43,942
>> Lily: So you feel like he's
not showing you enough respect?

>> Devon: It's me, the company,
our artists. It's...
679
00:30:47,011 --> 00:30:49,781
>> Lily: I mean, I think
this is mainly about you.
680
00:30:49,847 --> 00:30:52,050
>> Devon: And why would you say
that?
681
00:30:52,116 --> 00:30:53,851
Do you think that I'm threatened
by him?
682
00:30:53,918 --> 00:30:56,254
>> Lily: No, it hadn't even
crossed my mind.
683
00:30:56,321 --> 00:30:58,323
>> Devon: 'Cause this isn't
about me, and I'm not trying to
684
00:30:58,389 --> 00:31:00,258
make it personal or anything
like that.
685
00:31:00,325 --> 00:31:03,995
I actually think that Nate
has great ideas half the time.
686
00:31:04,062 --> 00:31:06,164
He just has very little business
experience,
687
00:31:06,231 --> 00:31:08,499
and I wish I would have taken
that into more consideration
688
00:31:08,566 --> 00:31:11,536
before I went along with your
idea to hire him and hand him
689
00:31:11,603 --> 00:31:14,105
all this responsibility.
690
00:31:14,172 --> 00:31:15,006
>> Lily: Okay.
691
00:31:15,073 --> 00:31:17,275
Well, we will figure this out.
692
00:31:17,342 --> 00:31:18,509
Don't worry.
693
00:31:18,576 --> 00:31:20,078
>> Devon: We have to figure this
out because things can't keep
694
00:31:20,144 --> 00:31:22,146
going on like this.
695
00:31:25,016 --> 00:31:27,418
>> Nick: I assume you're backing
away from this story
696
00:31:27,485 --> 00:31:29,721
because of my father's visit?
697
00:31:29,787 --> 00:31:31,823
Heard he came to see you, or,
more accurately,
698
00:31:31,889 --> 00:31:33,524
to pressure you.
699
00:31:33,591 --> 00:31:38,463
>> Sally: Mm. What he lacks in
subtlety, he...
700
00:31:38,529 --> 00:31:40,331
really, really lacks.
701
00:31:40,398 --> 00:31:44,269
But that is not the reason I'm
backing away from this story.
702
00:31:44,335 --> 00:31:46,604
>> Nick: Sally, you just don't
strike me as the kind of person
703
00:31:46,671 --> 00:31:48,873
who intimidates easily.
704
00:31:48,940 --> 00:31:53,011
>> Sally: I am not doing it
because I am fed up with people
705
00:31:53,077 --> 00:31:55,947
who pry into everyone's personal
lives, who mine them for every
706
00:31:56,014 --> 00:31:58,750
bit of gossip and innuendo
so they can exploit them
707
00:31:58,816 --> 00:31:59,684
for their own personal gain.
708
00:31:59,751 --> 00:32:01,219
It's disgusting
and sensationalist,
709
00:32:01,286 --> 00:32:03,554
and I don't want any part of it.
710
00:32:03,621 --> 00:32:07,792
>> Nick: While I appreciate
that attitude -- greatly --
711
00:32:07,859 --> 00:32:09,193
this is a media company.
712
00:32:09,260 --> 00:32:11,396
There are times you're going to
have to publish stories
713
00:32:11,462 --> 00:32:14,732
that some people may view
as an invasion of privacy.
714
00:32:14,799 --> 00:32:18,102
>> Sally: Yes, obviously, if
this breaking news is as
715
00:32:18,169 --> 00:32:22,140
monumental as you claim that it
is, we will absolutely cover it.
716
00:32:22,206 --> 00:32:23,741
But I can assure you
that it's not going to be
717
00:32:23,808 --> 00:32:24,742
in the headlines day after day.
718
00:32:24,809 --> 00:32:27,812
We're going to publish the facts
and move on.
719
00:32:27,879 --> 00:32:29,914
>> Nick: Are you prepared
for some harsh criticism
720
00:32:29,981 --> 00:32:31,316
for that approach?
721
00:32:31,382 --> 00:32:32,617
>> Sally: Oh, God.
722
00:32:32,684 --> 00:32:33,518
Criticism?
723
00:32:33,584 --> 00:32:34,485
I -- I don't know.
724
00:32:34,552 --> 00:32:39,090
It's gonna be a totally new
experience for me.
725
00:32:39,157 --> 00:32:41,159
>> Nick: This is not how I
expected this conversation
726
00:32:41,225 --> 00:32:43,328
to go.
727
00:32:43,394 --> 00:32:45,997
>> Sally: What were you
expecting?
728
00:32:46,064 --> 00:32:48,199
>> Nick: I was expecting some
pushback.
729
00:32:48,266 --> 00:32:53,037
But you seem to be
on the same page as the family,
730
00:32:53,104 --> 00:32:55,907
which is very cool.
731
00:32:55,973 --> 00:32:58,509
>> Sally: Well, it shouldn't be
a surprise.
732
00:32:58,576 --> 00:33:00,945
We're all on the same team.
733
00:33:01,012 --> 00:33:03,848
And yes, obviously,
I want to do a good job
734
00:33:03,915 --> 00:33:05,983
and make a name for myself,
but not at your family's
735
00:33:06,050 --> 00:33:08,019
expense.
736
00:33:08,086 --> 00:33:10,288
Ashland has already taken so
much from you.
737
00:33:10,355 --> 00:33:13,725
Enough is enough.
738
00:33:16,060 --> 00:33:17,662
>> Chance: You're a real piece
of work.
739
00:33:17,729 --> 00:33:19,364
You know that?
740
00:33:19,430 --> 00:33:22,533
>> Adam: I've been called worse.
741
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:24,736
>> Chance: You know what, Adam?
742
00:33:24,802 --> 00:33:28,239
We will not be collaborating
on this or any investigation.
743
00:33:28,306 --> 00:33:29,540
Is that clear?
744
00:33:29,607 --> 00:33:31,175
And you know what else?
745
00:33:31,242 --> 00:33:34,679
I think it's pretty damn lousy
of you to break up with Sally
746
00:33:34,746 --> 00:33:38,649
and then turn around and try to
manipulate her for information.
747
00:33:38,716 --> 00:33:40,685
>> Adam: I didn't realize the
two of you knew each other,
748
00:33:40,752 --> 00:33:41,419
Chance.
749
00:33:41,486 --> 00:33:42,520
>> Chance: I don't.
750
00:33:42,587 --> 00:33:44,956
But she was pretty forthcoming
when we spoke earlier.
751
00:33:45,022 --> 00:33:47,125
>> Adam: Well, she must have
made quite the impression
752
00:33:47,191 --> 00:33:49,861
if you are sitting here,
outraged on her behalf.
753
00:33:49,927 --> 00:33:50,895
>> Chance: I'm not naive.
754
00:33:50,962 --> 00:33:53,097
I know she was working me for
information.
755
00:33:53,164 --> 00:33:54,198
But you know what?
756
00:33:54,265 --> 00:33:57,869
Everything she said about you
was obviously sincere.
757
00:33:57,935 --> 00:34:00,772
Now, I don't know why the hell
she did, but that woman cared
758
00:34:00,838 --> 00:34:02,607
about you.
759
00:34:02,673 --> 00:34:05,076
>> Adam: She is recovering quite
well.
760
00:34:05,143 --> 00:34:07,578
>> Chance: That is not an excuse
for the way you treated her,
761
00:34:07,645 --> 00:34:08,646
Adam.
762
00:34:08,713 --> 00:34:13,418
>> Adam: Look, relationships
end, okay?
763
00:34:13,484 --> 00:34:16,687
We can't all have what you
and Abby have.
764
00:34:16,754 --> 00:34:18,489
Quite frankly,
I'm probably not cut out
765
00:34:18,556 --> 00:34:20,091
for a lifetime commitment.
766
00:34:20,158 --> 00:34:21,659
>> Chance: Man, look at you.
767
00:34:21,726 --> 00:34:24,429
Just wallowing in your character
flaws.
768
00:34:24,495 --> 00:34:25,563
Adam the heartbreaker.
769
00:34:25,630 --> 00:34:26,764
Adam the black sheep.
770
00:34:26,831 --> 00:34:31,135
>> Adam: No, no, I think I'm
being realistic about who I am.
771
00:34:31,202 --> 00:34:33,104
>> Chance: I know you're not
gonna listen to me,
772
00:34:33,171 --> 00:34:35,506
but I'm gonna say it anyways.
773
00:34:35,573 --> 00:34:37,208
Get a life.
774
00:34:37,275 --> 00:34:40,244
Find a new path,
a better direction.
775
00:34:40,311 --> 00:34:43,414
Because all I see
when I see you is you just
776
00:34:43,481 --> 00:34:44,515
falling into old habits.
777
00:34:44,582 --> 00:34:46,017
>> Adam: Yeah, well, I'm sorry
to hear --
778
00:34:46,083 --> 00:34:49,787
>> Chance: And it pisses me off,
man.
779
00:34:49,854 --> 00:34:57,829
Because you had it in you to be
so much better than this.
780
00:34:57,895 --> 00:34:59,897
I thought if you wouldn't do it
for yourself, you'd at least do
781
00:34:59,964 --> 00:35:01,766
it for your son.
782
00:35:01,833 --> 00:35:03,801
>> Adam: Well, you are mistaken,
Chance.
783
00:35:03,868 --> 00:35:08,206
This is as good as I get.
784
00:35:08,272 --> 00:35:10,274
>> Chance: Have it your way.
