00:09:51,090 --> 00:09:52,658
[ Chuckling ] Oh, my God.
177
00:09:52,725 --> 00:09:54,860
>> Chance: No, Abby.
178
00:09:54,927 --> 00:09:57,563
There was evidence of exactly
that.
179
00:10:05,438 --> 00:10:07,473
>> Abby: I don't know what to
say.
180
00:10:07,540 --> 00:10:10,643
I was hoping that, for once, my
father hadn't gone rogue.
181
00:10:10,710 --> 00:10:12,011
>> Chance: Well, here's the
deal.
182
00:10:12,078 --> 00:10:15,414
Even though I did have evidence
that backed up Victor was behind
183
00:10:15,481 --> 00:10:17,483
the cover-up, it wasn't
conclusive.
184
00:10:17,550 --> 00:10:19,085
There were gaps.
185
00:10:19,151 --> 00:10:20,519
I was missing pieces.
186
00:10:20,586 --> 00:10:23,389
I mean, there was just enough
for a prosecutor to think twice
187
00:10:23,456 --> 00:10:24,924
before taking it to trial.
188
00:10:24,991 --> 00:10:27,727
>> Abby: So, that was your
reasoning.
189
00:10:27,793 --> 00:10:29,462
You couldn't prove your theory.
190
00:10:29,528 --> 00:10:32,231
>> Chance: If I would have kept
digging and pursuing the
191
00:10:32,298 --> 00:10:35,368
evidence I have, I believe I
could have got there.
192
00:10:35,434 --> 00:10:39,105
Yes, what we had so far, a
criminal case could have gone
193
00:10:39,171 --> 00:10:40,339
either way.
194
00:10:40,406 --> 00:10:43,676
But, hey, at the end of the day,
no matter what happened,
195
00:10:43,743 --> 00:10:45,845
Ashland's death was an accident.
196
00:10:45,911 --> 00:10:49,648
So I made a judgment call.
197
00:10:49,715 --> 00:10:53,052
I opted to embrace the car crash
as the most plausible cause of
198
00:10:53,119 --> 00:10:55,488
death.
199
00:10:55,554 --> 00:10:57,690
>> Abby: Well, I know this case
has been weighing on you
200
00:10:57,757 --> 00:10:58,758
heavily.
201
00:10:58,824 --> 00:11:03,462
So, why aren't you more relieved
that it's over?
202
00:11:03,529 --> 00:11:08,434
>> Sharon: Right after Ashland
died, you came to me and you
203
00:11:08,501 --> 00:11:10,536
wanted to talk.
204
00:11:10,603 --> 00:11:14,340
You explained how you were upset
over having taken a life, any
205
00:11:14,407 --> 00:11:17,576
life, even though you knew you
had acted in self-defense.
206
00:11:17,643 --> 00:11:21,514
And then you got caught up in
what Victor did, and then you
207
00:11:21,580 --> 00:11:24,450
were concerned about what the
police were gonna discover.
208
00:11:24,517 --> 00:11:29,121
And I'm thinking that you used
that as a way of avoiding
209
00:11:29,188 --> 00:11:32,258
confronting your own feelings.
210
00:11:32,324 --> 00:11:35,628
>> Nick: I mean, in some ways,
all that chaos kind of pulled me
211
00:11:35,694 --> 00:11:37,696
out of my own head.
212
00:11:37,763 --> 00:11:40,433
You know, it was a distraction.
213
00:11:40,499 --> 00:11:43,702
Not exactly a welcome one, but
it gave me a place to focus on
214
00:11:43,769 --> 00:11:47,440
something besides my own guilt.
215
00:11:47,506 --> 00:11:52,144
>> Sharon: And are you ready to
face those feelings now?
216
00:11:52,211 --> 00:11:53,579
I don't mean right this second.
217
00:11:53,646 --> 00:11:54,780
There's no time limit.
218
00:11:54,847 --> 00:11:57,383
I'm just saying I want you to
know that I'm here when you're
219
00:11:57,450 --> 00:11:58,884
ready.
220
00:11:58,951 --> 00:12:02,088
Maybe you can explore what's
going on inside without the
221
00:12:02,154 --> 00:12:05,324
constant sense of dread of
everything that's been hanging
222
00:12:05,391 --> 00:12:06,859
over you lately.
223
00:12:06,926 --> 00:12:09,095
And I'm happy to listen.
224
00:12:09,161 --> 00:12:15,601
And if you want, I'll help
guide you through this.
225
00:12:15,668 --> 00:12:19,038
>> Adam: Connor's taken a little
detour from sports lately.
226
00:12:19,105 --> 00:12:20,739
>> Victor: Oh, yeah?
227
00:12:20,806 --> 00:12:22,374
Into what?
228
00:12:22,441 --> 00:12:24,110
>> Adam: Coding.
229
00:12:24,176 --> 00:12:26,312
He's, uh, fascinated by it.
230
00:12:26,378 --> 00:12:26,912
>> Victor: Coding?
231
00:12:26,979 --> 00:12:28,147
What the hell is coding?
232
00:12:28,214 --> 00:12:31,350
Whoa. Huh.
233
00:12:31,417 --> 00:12:33,385
I'll be damned.
234
00:12:33,452 --> 00:12:35,354
You know, we miss that boy.
235
00:12:35,421 --> 00:12:36,856
Both Nikki and I do.
236
00:12:36,922 --> 00:12:39,959
Whenever he's here, he brings a
smile to our faces.
237
00:12:40,025 --> 00:12:43,729
I'm sure that kid will be very,
very successful.
238
00:12:43,796 --> 00:12:45,798
>> Adam: Unlike his dad.
239
00:12:45,865 --> 00:12:50,336
Serial failure.
240
00:12:50,402 --> 00:12:52,404
>> Victor: I didn't say
anything like that.
241
00:12:52,471 --> 00:12:53,639
>> Adam: No, but it was implied.
242
00:12:53,706 --> 00:12:57,009
[ Clears throat ] You rarely say
what you actually mean.
243
00:12:57,076 --> 00:13:00,146
>> Victor: What do you mean,
what's implied?
244
00:13:00,212 --> 00:13:03,115
That's pure nonsense you're
talking about.
245
00:13:03,182 --> 00:13:04,583
You trying to goad me into
something or what?
246
00:13:04,650 --> 00:13:07,553
You trying to piss me off?
247
00:13:07,620 --> 00:13:09,688
Not gonna work tonight.
248
00:13:09,755 --> 00:13:13,592
I'm feeling good.
249
00:13:20,332 --> 00:13:21,700
>> Victoria: Ashland?
250
00:13:21,767 --> 00:13:23,769
>> Nick: Can you find a pulse?
251
00:13:31,410 --> 00:13:33,412
Vick.
252
00:13:45,824 --> 00:13:48,360
[ Knock on door ]
>> Victoria: [ Gasps ]
253
00:13:48,427 --> 00:13:49,962
>> Billy: Vick, it's me.
254
00:13:50,029 --> 00:13:51,163
You in there?
255
00:13:51,230 --> 00:13:55,301
>> Victoria: [ Exhales heavily ]
The door's open.
256
00:13:55,367 --> 00:13:59,805
[ Door opens ]
>> Billy: Hi.
257
00:13:59,872 --> 00:14:01,006
>> Victoria: Hi.
258
00:14:01,073 --> 00:14:02,908
>> Billy: I know it's a little
bit late, and I don't want to
259
00:14:02,975 --> 00:14:04,143
intrude, but I was driving by.
260
00:14:04,210 --> 00:14:05,945
I saw your car in the driveway
and your lights on.
261
00:14:06,011 --> 00:14:07,947
I thought you said earlier that
you were gonna stay at the
262
00:14:08,013 --> 00:14:09,148
ranch.
263
00:14:09,215 --> 00:14:10,849
>> Victoria: Oh, yeah, well, at
that point, I hadn't planned
264
00:14:10,916 --> 00:14:14,353
on -- on returning tonight, but
when I got to the ranch, I
265
00:14:14,420 --> 00:14:17,723
just -- I felt like I wanted to
come back home.
266
00:14:17,790 --> 00:14:20,226
>> Billy: Is this your first
night back since --
267
00:14:20,292 --> 00:14:21,327
>> Victoria: Since Ashland died?
268
00:14:21,393 --> 00:14:22,628
Yes.
269
00:14:22,695 --> 00:14:26,298
Yes, it is.
270
00:14:26,365 --> 00:14:27,499
You know, it's funny.
271
00:14:27,566 --> 00:14:30,836
Walking in here, it struck me
how -- how nothing has really
272
00:14:30,903 --> 00:14:37,543
changed [breathes deeply]
and yet everything has.
273
00:14:37,610 --> 00:14:40,279
[ Sighs heavily ]
274
00:14:50,823 --> 00:14:54,660
>> Victoria: [ Sighs ]
>> Billy: You feel better?
275
00:14:54,727 --> 00:14:57,296
>> Victoria: Much. Thank you.
276
00:14:57,363 --> 00:15:01,667
>> Billy: So, why did you decide
to come back?
277
00:15:01,734 --> 00:15:05,771
>> Victoria: I don't want to
uproot myself or the kids.
278
00:15:05,838 --> 00:15:09,074
>> Billy: I understand that,
but why tonight?
279
00:15:09,141 --> 00:15:11,443
Because, you know, you don't
have to rush any of this.
280
00:15:11,510 --> 00:15:13,545
You could have waited until the
investigation was resolved.
281
00:15:13,612 --> 00:15:15,281
>> Victor: It was resolved.
282
00:15:15,347 --> 00:15:16,582
It's over and done with.
283
00:15:16,649 --> 00:15:17,916
Case closed.
284
00:15:17,983 --> 00:15:19,251
>> Billy: What do you -- What do
you mean?
285
00:15:19,318 --> 00:15:20,486
You didn't mention that earlier.
286
00:15:20,552 --> 00:15:23,322
>> Victoria: I didn't know about
it then.
287
00:15:23,389 --> 00:15:24,456
>> Billy: Come on.
288
00:15:24,523 --> 00:15:26,959
You want to share some of this
with me, or did you swear
289
00:15:27,026 --> 00:15:27,526
secrecy?
290
00:15:27,593 --> 00:15:28,627
>> Victoria: Okay. I...
291
00:15:28,694 --> 00:15:30,929
[ Sighs ]
After I left the bar and
292
00:15:30,996 --> 00:15:35,267
returned to the ranch, Chance
was there and informed us as a
293
00:15:35,334 --> 00:15:40,239
group that his official findings
were that, after the fight,
294
00:15:40,306 --> 00:15:44,643
Ashland left the house, got into
his car, drove off, and died in
295
00:15:44,710 --> 00:15:46,945
a crash.
296
00:15:47,012 --> 00:15:48,681
>> Billy: "Official finding."
297
00:15:48,747 --> 00:15:49,748
Meaning?
298
00:15:49,815 --> 00:15:53,652
>> Victoria: I-I --
Chance is gonna submit his final
299
00:15:53,719 --> 00:15:54,787
report to the department.
300
00:15:54,853 --> 00:15:56,722
That's just the language that
they use, Billy.
301
00:15:56,789 --> 00:15:59,124
>> Billy: Yeah, well, it sounds
like a euphemism to me.
302
00:15:59,191 --> 00:16:00,993
>> Victoria: I have no idea what
you're talking about.
303
00:16:01,060 --> 00:16:03,796
>> Billy: Look, I got to ask
you.
304
00:16:03,862 --> 00:16:06,565
Be straight with me.
305
00:16:06,632 --> 00:16:09,835
There's more to Ashland Locke's
death than the rest of us know,
306
00:16:09,902 --> 00:16:12,338
isn't there?
307
00:16:12,404 --> 00:16:15,474
>> Chance: I am relieved that I
made my decision on this case.
308
00:16:15,541 --> 00:16:16,809
Trust me.
309
00:16:16,875 --> 00:16:19,511
But it was not easy.
310
00:16:19,578 --> 00:16:22,681
I mean, I think your dad
orchestrated a cover-up.
311
00:16:22,748 --> 00:16:23,582
I believe that.
312
00:16:23,649 --> 00:16:25,918
And my evidence wasn't
conclusive.
313
00:16:25,984 --> 00:16:29,421
So I just had to ask myself,
what am I gonna accomplish
314
00:16:29,488 --> 00:16:30,956
from doing all this?
315
00:16:31,023 --> 00:16:33,726
I'm just gonna continue to
expend department resources when
316
00:16:33,792 --> 00:16:36,562
there is so much more out there
crying for my attention right
317
00:16:36,628 --> 00:16:37,429
now.
318
00:16:37,496 --> 00:16:39,398
>> Abby: Like closing all of
Rey's cases.
319
00:16:39,465 --> 00:16:41,233
I know that's important to you.
320
00:16:41,300 --> 00:16:43,202
>> Chance: For starters, yes.
321
00:16:43,268 --> 00:16:46,705
And then there's the human
element to consider.
322
00:16:46,772 --> 00:16:48,807
>> Abby: My family. Yeah.
323
00:16:48,874 --> 00:16:51,677
>> Chance: I mean, after
everything that Ashland did to
324
00:16:51,744 --> 00:16:55,447
Victoria and your whole family,
is it right for me to just drag
325
00:16:55,514 --> 00:16:57,649
them through some more hell?
326
00:16:57,716 --> 00:17:00,686
I know for a fact there wasn't
any malice or premeditation
327
00:17:00,753 --> 00:17:01,820
leading up to his death.
328
00:17:01,887 --> 00:17:04,256
And whatever happened, the
injury that killed him was an
329
00:17:04,323 --> 00:17:05,524
accident.
330
00:17:05,591 --> 00:17:09,661
But I believe that Ashland died
as a result of that altercation.
331
00:17:09,728 --> 00:17:10,796
>> Abby: So you've said.
332
00:17:10,863 --> 00:17:12,831
>> Chance: And Victor reacted in
the moment.
333
00:17:12,898 --> 00:17:15,300
It was ill-advised, and it
complicated the hell out of
334
00:17:15,367 --> 00:17:16,835
things, but it happened.
335
00:17:16,902 --> 00:17:19,271
It can't be undone.
336
00:17:19,338 --> 00:17:21,673
The people who know about it are
gonna have to live with it.
337
00:17:21,740 --> 00:17:24,610
Nick's gonna have to come to
terms with killing Ashland, and
338
00:17:24,676 --> 00:17:26,678
Victoria's gonna need time to
heal.
339
00:17:26,745 --> 00:17:28,514
Although I bet your dad is
celebrating.
340
00:17:28,580 --> 00:17:29,715
That's for sure.
341
00:17:29,782 --> 00:17:34,086
>> Abby: Look, my father will
always do what he believes is
342
00:17:34,153 --> 00:17:36,288
right to protect his family.
343
00:17:36,355 --> 00:17:40,993
And I will never be able to
thank you enough for choosing to
344
00:17:41,059 --> 00:17:42,027
protect him.
345
00:17:42,094 --> 00:17:43,929
>> Chance: Look --
>> Abby: To protect our family.
346
00:17:43,996 --> 00:17:46,131
>> Chance: Look, I made a
choice, alright?
347
00:17:46,198 --> 00:17:48,534
And I would -- I would really
appreciate it if you would stop

one just because I came down on

pleased with yourself.

What major win have you scored
now?

and when they're happy,

00:18:05,517 --> 00:18:06,552
I feel good.

pull it out of you bit by bit.

00:18:11,256 --> 00:18:12,157
Okay.

00:18:12,224 --> 00:18:14,059
[ Glass thuds ]
Well, the latest threat to the
360
00:18:14,126 --> 00:18:15,327
Newmans was Ashland Locke.
361
00:18:15,394 --> 00:18:20,165
>> Victor: Well, that S.O.B. is
thankfully no longer with us.
362
00:18:20,232 --> 00:18:22,868
>> Adam: Mm, that eliminated
some of the danger, but his
363
00:18:22,935 --> 00:18:24,403
death had its own turmoil.
364
00:18:24,470 --> 00:18:25,537
So, what changed?
365
00:18:25,604 --> 00:18:27,806
>> Victor: All conversations
about Ashland Locke are past
366
00:18:27,873 --> 00:18:29,608

367
00:18:29,675 --> 00:18:32,878
Guy's dead as a doornail.

circumstances of his death are

00:18:40,285 --> 00:18:42,287
>> Victor: Yeah. They're closed.
372
00:18:42,354 --> 00:18:45,624
Chance was here earlier.
373
00:18:45,691 --> 00:18:49,928
He said he was no longer going
to investigate the circumstances
374
00:18:49,995 --> 00:18:53,999
of Ashland Locke's death, so
Victoria can now pick up the

pieces of her life.
376
00:18:55,601 --> 00:18:57,436

There really was something to

investigate after all, wasn't
there?
380
00:19:05,978 --> 00:19:09,615
And naturally, you shut it down.

you keep it private.

>> Victoria: Although Nicholas
and I didn't know it at the
388
00:19:58,163 --> 00:20:03,835
time...Ashland did die here.
389
00:20:03,902 --> 00:20:09,041
[ Sighs ] We went outside to get
our bearings, and my father sent
390
00:20:09,107 --> 00:20:12,177
his security team in here to
remove the body and stage an
391
00:20:12,244 --> 00:20:13,879
accident.
392
00:20:13,946 --> 00:20:16,815
>> Billy: In order to protect
Nick from being blamed.
393
00:20:16,882 --> 00:20:18,517
>> Victoria: Dad didn't know it
at the time.
394
00:20:18,584 --> 00:20:22,020
He didn't -- He -- He didn't
know about the fight.
395
00:20:22,087 --> 00:20:27,693
All he knew is that Ashland was
lying on my floor, dead.
396
00:20:27,759 --> 00:20:30,262
He wasn't even sure who he was
protecting.
397
00:20:30,329 --> 00:20:32,331
>> Billy: Just covering his
bases, huh?
398
00:20:32,397 --> 00:20:38,170
>> Victoria: Nicholas was
furious, and he felt like Dad
399
00:20:38,236 --> 00:20:39,805
had made things so much worse.
400
00:20:39,871 --> 00:20:44,209
And then of course Chance
suspected Dad of covering things
401
00:20:44,276 --> 00:20:47,412
up, and he started looking for
evidence and pursuing new leads.
402
00:20:47,479 --> 00:20:50,882
He was completely relentless.
403
00:20:50,949 --> 00:20:55,654
And then tonight, he told us
that he concluded that there
404
00:20:55,721 --> 00:21:00,292
wasn't enough evidence to, um --
to prove that a crime had been
405
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:02,894
committed, and he closed the
case.
406
00:21:02,961 --> 00:21:03,695

it go.

impression that it wasn't easy

Just like I'm sure this isn't
easy for you.
413
00:21:18,410 --> 00:21:20,612
I mean, obviously, this is
upsetting being back here,

realizing that your ex didn't
actually die in a car crash,

that it --
>> Victoria: Happened here.

You know, part of me is glad
that I was in the kitchen and

00:21:30,622 --> 00:21:33,325
I didn't see Nick punch him,
I didn't see him fall.

that I need etched into my

glad that's true, too.

about Nicholas.
422
00:21:43,001 --> 00:21:45,771
[ Sighs ] He has to live with
the knowledge that he -- he took
423
00:21:45,837 --> 00:21:47,339
a man's life.
424
00:21:47,406 --> 00:21:49,808
Even though his actions were
justified, he never meant to
425
00:21:49,875 --> 00:21:51,643
hurt anyone.
426
00:21:51,710 --> 00:21:55,814
I'm so worried about what that
will do to him.

>> Nick: I have no problem being
open about my feelings toward

Ashland.
429
00:22:03,588 --> 00:22:06,091
I absolutely hated him.
430
00:22:06,158 --> 00:22:07,192
I don't care who knew.
431
00:22:07,259 --> 00:22:09,428
I didn't try and hide it.
432
00:22:09,494 --> 00:22:15,033
There were days when I wished he
was dead.
433
00:22:15,100 --> 00:22:18,937
But then to actually see him
dead on the floor, knowing that
434
00:22:19,004 --> 00:22:22,507
I caused it...
435
00:22:22,574 --> 00:22:26,812
I don't know what to do with
that.
436
00:22:26,878 --> 00:22:31,516
Some nights I wake up in a cold
sweat, reliving that whole
437
00:22:31,583 --> 00:22:32,784
night.
438
00:22:32,851 --> 00:22:35,454
[ Sighs ]
I don't know. I just --
439
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:39,191
I wonder...

how things would have played out

It was never your intention to
take his life.

Even if you had thought about it
in the past, on any level, you
444
00:23:02,114 --> 00:23:06,084
need to separate your feelings
for Ashland from the events of
445
00:23:06,151 --> 00:23:07,219
that night.
446
00:23:07,285 --> 00:23:10,789
You were defending your sister.
447
00:23:10,856 --> 00:23:14,960
And, you know, you were
protecting yourself, as well.
448
00:23:15,026 --> 00:23:17,863
And Chance -- I mean, we both
know that he's as righteous and
449
00:23:17,929 --> 00:23:19,364
honorable as they come.
450
00:23:19,431 --> 00:23:23,835
And he's weighed all the
evidence, and he's declared
451
00:23:23,902 --> 00:23:26,138
that it was an accident.
452
00:23:26,204 --> 00:23:31,576
The fact that he has let this go
just proves he believes that you
453
00:23:31,643 --> 00:23:32,110
are innocent.
454
00:23:32,177 --> 00:23:34,179
You're not at fault.

said the wrong thing.

I didn't mean to make you more
upset.
457
00:23:44,923 --> 00:23:47,192
>> Chance: One of the main
reasons I was drawn to the
458
00:23:47,259 --> 00:23:51,830
military and then law
enforcement -- there are rules.
459
00:23:51,897 --> 00:23:55,534
There is the right, and there
is the wrong, legal and illegal.
460
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:58,637
You break the rules, you get
punished.
461

>> Abby: I owe you an apology.
462
00:24:02,741 --> 00:24:05,877
I have been telling you that
this was your decision to make
463
00:24:05,944 --> 00:24:11,316
and meanwhile I was forcing this
"family first" idea onto you
464
00:24:11,383 --> 00:24:13,485
and that was not fair.
465
00:24:13,552 --> 00:24:18,156
But, really, I -- I just want to
be here for you, for whatever

how disillusioned you are with

I really appreciated all your

And I know I put you in a bad
spot being on this case.

I believe I came to the right
determination, given the facts.
474
00:24:48,253 --> 00:24:50,455
I honestly do.
475
00:24:50,522 --> 00:24:59,064
And I just hope that Nick and

[ Glass slams ]
I've heard certain things.
481
00:25:09,941 --> 00:25:11,276
I've talked to a lot of

00:25:11,343 --> 00:25:11,943

00:25:12,010 --> 00:25:12,944

>> Victor: Mm.
485
00:25:14,212 --> 00:25:15,513
>> Adam: News reports said it
was a car crash, but it wasn't
486
00:25:15,580 --> 00:25:18,049
that simple, was it, Dad?
487
00:25:18,116 --> 00:25:20,018
>> Victor: I don't know.
488
00:25:20,085 --> 00:25:22,621
>> Adam: The accident happened
in a ravine nowhere near
489
00:25:22,687 --> 00:25:26,157
Ashland's place, but it wasn't
that far from Victoria's.
490
00:25:26,224 --> 00:25:28,393
Now, if it was just a routine
car crash, why were the
491
00:25:28,460 --> 00:25:29,995
authorities looking into it?
492
00:25:30,061 --> 00:25:31,229
>> Victor: Yeah. Why, indeed?
493
00:25:31,296 --> 00:25:32,397
Beats me.
494
00:25:32,464 --> 00:25:34,266
>> Adam: Chance seemed pretty
disturbed by what happened.
495
00:25:34,332 --> 00:25:36,534
And when I was leaving town, he
told me that I should stay
496
00:25:36,601 --> 00:25:38,069
because my family might need me.
497
00:25:38,136 --> 00:25:40,005

him.
498
00:25:40,071 --> 00:25:40,906
>> Adam: Mm-hmm.
499
00:25:40,972 --> 00:25:42,807
>> Victor: Where were you
intending to go?
500
00:25:42,874 --> 00:25:44,609
>> Adam: Oh, that doesn't
matter.
501
00:25:44,676 --> 00:25:47,846
But after that, I saw Nick and
Sharon, and it looked pretty
502
00:25:47,913 --> 00:25:50,749
intense, like she was talking
him off the ledge.
503
00:25:50,815 --> 00:25:55,387
Now, God knows Nick and Ashland
didn't care for each other.
504
00:25:55,453 --> 00:25:57,555
So, why would Nick be so upset?
505
00:25:57,622 --> 00:26:00,058
>> Victor: [ Chuckles ]
No clue.

>> Adam: Mm-hmm.
507
00:26:01,326 --> 00:26:03,228
>> Victor: Now, for someone who
claims he wants to leave the

family, you're awfully
interested in our business.
509
00:26:06,398 --> 00:26:07,565
>> Adam: Yeah.
510
00:26:07,632 --> 00:26:09,901
Yeah, and later on, I talked to
Abby, who seemed to think that
511
00:26:09,968 --> 00:26:11,503
Chance was keeping things from
her, too.
512
00:26:11,569 --> 00:26:15,573
Now, why all the secrecy for
just a routine crash?
513
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:16,775
I mean...
514
00:26:16,841 --> 00:26:19,744
And I also thought Sally knew
more than she was saying, but
515
00:26:19,811 --> 00:26:22,547
she was asked not to publish
anything negative, which, Dad, I
516
00:26:22,614 --> 00:26:26,351

one minute getting back to life.

just -- all these memories came

flooding back, and I'm really
grateful you showed up when you

good for?

Look, I don't want to, uh, make
this all light because the truth

is you did build something with
Ashland, and now all of that is

sure that you're alright and

that you are ready to move on
because I don't want you causing

00:34:24,061 --> 00:34:24,529
lately.
689
00:34:24,595 --> 00:34:25,396
>> Billy: Yeah.
690
00:34:25,463 --> 00:34:27,965
>> Victoria: What is that about?
691
00:34:28,032 --> 00:34:31,836
>> Billy: Just thinking about
making some changes.
692
00:34:31,903 --> 00:34:34,338
>> Victoria: Care to share?
693
00:34:34,405 --> 00:34:37,008
>> Billy: Nope, not tonight.
694
00:34:37,074 --> 00:34:41,212
Because tonight is all about you
and your fresh start.
695
00:34:41,279 --> 00:34:42,380
To new beginnings.
696
00:34:42,447 --> 00:34:45,216
[ Glasses clink ]
>> Victoria: Hear, hear.
697
00:34:45,283 --> 00:34:50,221
>> Adam: I'm not gonna sit here
and -- and let you shame me for
698
00:34:50,288 --> 00:34:51,956
not being a loyal Newman.
699
00:34:52,023 --> 00:34:56,594
I've done nothing but work to
defend my sister and protect
700
00:34:56,661 --> 00:34:58,396
this family.
701
00:34:58,463 --> 00:35:00,898
I'm the one who brokered the
deal to get Ashland out of our
702
00:35:00,965 --> 00:35:03,668
lives, and it was you and
Victoria who undermined that.
703
00:35:03,734 --> 00:35:07,004
If she hadn't gone to such
extremes by taking his money and
704
00:35:07,071 --> 00:35:09,474
humiliating him, if you hadn't
taken steps to prevent him to
705
00:35:09,540 --> 00:35:10,942
see Harrison...
706
00:35:11,008 --> 00:35:12,376
You backed the guy into a
corner.
707
00:35:12,443 --> 00:35:14,312
You pushed him to lash out.
708
00:35:14,378 --> 00:35:17,615
And, I mean, I'm the one who
went and I warned Victoria and
709
00:35:17,682 --> 00:35:20,685
Nick that he was out for
revenge.
710
00:35:20,751 --> 00:35:23,354
So, whatever happened that
night, however Nick defended our
711
00:35:23,421 --> 00:35:25,256
sister -- none of that would
have happened, Dad, if you
712
00:35:25,323 --> 00:35:27,825
trusted my original plan.
713
00:35:27,892 --> 00:35:30,528
Ashland Locke would have
disappeared on his own accord.
714
00:35:30,595 --> 00:35:32,930
He would have taken the money,
and he would have been out of
715
00:35:32,997 --> 00:35:33,431
our lives.
716
00:35:33,498 --> 00:35:34,098
And you know what?
717
00:35:34,165 --> 00:35:35,733
Maybe he still would be alive.
718
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:37,802
>> Victor: And how in the hell
would that have been a better
719
00:35:37,869 --> 00:35:38,736
outcome?
720
00:35:38,803 --> 00:35:40,805
>> Adam: [ Scoffs ] I'm --
I'm happy for you.
721
00:35:40,872 --> 00:35:43,741
I'm glad that you're out from
under that monster's influence.
722
00:35:43,808 --> 00:35:45,009
>> Victor: Mm.
723
00:35:45,076 --> 00:35:47,578
>> Adam: But do remember -- and,
Dad, you should know this better
724
00:35:47,645 --> 00:35:51,015
than anybody -- there's always
another shoe out there that's
725
00:35:51,082 --> 00:35:52,750
waiting to drop.
