00:00:09,376 --> 00:00:11,177
>> Chloe: I come in peace.
2
00:00:11,244 --> 00:00:18,251
I got you some cappuccinos and,
well, your favorite pastries
3
00:00:18,318 --> 00:00:21,554
from that Italian place that
you love.
4
00:00:21,621 --> 00:00:23,656
>> Sally: What's the occasion?
5
00:00:23,723 --> 00:00:25,058
>> Chloe: Oh...
6
00:00:25,125 --> 00:00:29,829
I just wanted to make up for
the way I acted yesterday.
7
00:00:29,896 --> 00:00:31,564
>> Sally: What way was that?
8
00:00:31,631 --> 00:00:34,067
>> Chloe: Chewing you out about
Adam.
9
00:00:34,134 --> 00:00:38,438
I -- I said some things that I
just -- I wish I hadn't.
10
00:00:38,505 --> 00:00:42,108
>> Sally: I see.
11
00:00:42,175 --> 00:00:45,712
>> Chloe: So, this is me trying
to apologize.
12
00:00:45,779 --> 00:00:50,417
You know, I just want to put
things behind us and start over.
13
00:00:50,483 --> 00:00:55,088
And when it comes to Adam, we
can just agree to disagree.
14
00:00:55,155 --> 00:00:57,924
As long as you can keep your
personal life separate from your
15
00:00:57,991 --> 00:01:01,394
work and not miss any more
important meetings, I think
16
00:01:01,461 --> 00:01:03,530
that --
[ Sighs ]
17
00:01:03,596 --> 00:01:06,633
You know, I'm -- I'm sorry
again.
18
00:01:06,699 --> 00:01:08,868
I really didn't mean to go
there.
19
00:01:08,935 --> 00:01:12,705
I feel like I've been scolding
you all the time lately, and
20
00:01:12,772 --> 00:01:16,943
it's not appropriate or
professional, and it's not
21
00:01:17,010 --> 00:01:20,947
conducive to our being friends.
22
00:01:21,014 --> 00:01:24,184
Are we on the same page?
23
00:01:24,250 --> 00:01:25,919
>> Sally: About what?
24
00:01:25,985 --> 00:01:27,454
>> Chloe: Starting fresh.
25
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:31,758
Let's just put Adam aside, eat a
pastry, and, you know, tackle
26
00:01:31,825 --> 00:01:34,093
all of this work that we have to
get to.
27
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:35,695
Sound good?
28
00:01:35,762 --> 00:01:36,963
>> Sally: Yeah.
29
00:01:37,030 --> 00:01:37,764
Yeah, you're right.
30
00:01:37,831 --> 00:01:41,868
Um, I should immerse myself in
work.
31
00:01:41,935 --> 00:01:44,571
But to do that, there is
something that I -- I need to
32
00:01:44,637 --> 00:01:49,342
take care of first.
33
00:01:49,409 --> 00:01:52,579
>> Chloe: [ Sighs ]
[ Knock on door ]
34
00:01:52,645 --> 00:01:53,947
>> Nick: Morning.
35
00:01:54,013 --> 00:01:54,814
>> Victoria: Hi.
36
00:01:54,881 --> 00:01:56,216
Morning yourself.
37
00:01:56,282 --> 00:01:58,184
I was hoping that you would be
in early.
38
00:01:58,251 --> 00:02:00,887
I was just going over some of
the final details of some of the
39
00:02:00,954 --> 00:02:04,557
acquisitions that we've made,
including who's gonna be running
40
00:02:04,624 --> 00:02:06,759
them once they've been absorbed
into Newman Enterprises.
41
00:02:06,826 --> 00:02:09,762
>> Nick: Any preliminary
thoughts?
42
00:02:09,829 --> 00:02:12,966
>> Victoria: Well, I'm -- I'm
still very intrigued by the idea
43
00:02:13,032 --> 00:02:14,767
of Nate Hastings.
44
00:02:14,834 --> 00:02:17,337
I did a little recon about the
state of play at
45
00:02:17,403 --> 00:02:19,772
Chancellor-Winters with Billy,
and it turns out that things
46
00:02:19,839 --> 00:02:21,140
have been tense over there for a
while.
47
00:02:21,207 --> 00:02:23,776
So maybe Nate -- maybe he really
is leaving.
48
00:02:23,843 --> 00:02:26,246
>> Nick: Happened to run into
Nate at Society last night.
49
00:02:26,312 --> 00:02:27,680
>> Victoria: And?
50
00:02:27,747 --> 00:02:30,583
>> Nick: Seems like he's ready
for a change.
51
00:02:30,650 --> 00:02:32,652
>> Victoria: Interesting.
52
00:02:32,719 --> 00:02:38,157
The only problem is, how do we
utilize him?
53
00:02:38,224 --> 00:02:40,293
>> Nick: Do we have a place for
him in any of our new
54
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:41,494
acquisitions?
55
00:02:41,561 --> 00:02:44,764
>> Victoria: Well, if I had an
obvious fit, I'd make an offer
56
00:02:44,831 --> 00:02:47,667
to him right now, but
unfortunately, most of the
57
00:02:47,734 --> 00:02:50,637
senior roles are requiring
specialized expertise.
58
00:02:50,703 --> 00:02:52,739
>> Nick: Why can't we just
create a position then, just to
59
00:02:52,805 --> 00:02:53,506
get him in the door?
60
00:02:53,573 --> 00:02:55,074
>> Victoria: Anything's
possible.
61
00:02:55,141 --> 00:02:58,278
I think I'll give it some
thought.
62
00:02:58,344 --> 00:03:01,848
So, moving on to our other
employees, how are things with
63
00:03:01,915 --> 00:03:04,384
Sally?
64
00:03:04,450 --> 00:03:06,419
>> Nick: In what sense?
65
00:03:06,486 --> 00:03:09,289
>> Victoria: I'm assuming that
you put her on notice since she
66
00:03:09,355 --> 00:03:13,626
blew off that marketing summit
yesterday.
67
00:03:13,693 --> 00:03:17,130
Don't you dare tell me that you
accepted her apology and let it
68
00:03:17,196 --> 00:03:18,565
go.

00:03:18,631 --> 00:03:20,633

00:04:01,908 --> 00:04:04,344
I take it from your message that
you want to discuss Nate

00:04:05,678 --> 00:04:09,182

that he will change his mind and

00:04:09,248 --> 00:04:13,353
cool off, but in the event that
he doesn't, I want to know what

our exposure could be.
84
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:15,888

by exposure?
85
00:04:15,955 --> 00:04:19,092
>> Lily: Well, what are the
legal and business ramifications
86
00:04:19,158 --> 00:04:21,361
of your COO's abrupt departure?
87
00:04:21,427 --> 00:04:22,895
I mean, we don't know.
88
00:04:22,962 --> 00:04:24,597
Did he sign an NDA?
89
00:04:24,664 --> 00:04:26,699
Is there a non-compete clause
in his contract?
90
00:04:26,766 --> 00:04:29,235
I mean, can he take ideas that
he developed here to another

company?

The guy's chair isn't even cold
yet, and here you are starting
96

to talk about legal
ramifications?
97
00:04:41,414 --> 00:04:44,217
So, what, neither one of you is
gonna try to talk to him, try to

smooth things over?
99
00:04:45,218 --> 00:04:47,720
Is that how this family
operates?

all night.

Couldn't sleep.

00:05:23,856 --> 00:05:26,125
I hate when we argue.

that you are under a lot of

stress.
112
00:05:37,003 --> 00:05:40,440
I know quitting your job is not
a decision that you came to
113
00:05:40,506 --> 00:05:41,974
lightly.
114
00:05:42,041 --> 00:05:44,944
And I wish it weren't necessary,
but I get that you feel like you

00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:58,558

on to your next opportunity,

00:06:01,027 --> 00:06:09,368
and repair your
relationship with your family.
122
00:06:09,435 --> 00:06:17,210
I'm hoping, after a good night's
rest, you want that, too, and
123
00:06:17,276 --> 00:06:19,846
that you've changed your mind
about going forward with the
124
00:06:19,912 --> 00:06:22,281
plan that you shared with me?
125

>> Nate: On the contrary.
126
00:06:23,716 --> 00:06:26,552
I'm more resolved about that
than ever.

128
00:06:36,562 --> 00:06:39,098
Please do not do this.

You left Chancellor-Winters
on your own terms.
130
00:06:41,667 --> 00:06:43,302
Can you just leave it at that?
131
00:06:43,369 --> 00:06:44,804
You can do anything you want
now.
132
00:06:44,871 --> 00:06:47,340
You're not under Devon's control
anymore.
133
00:06:47,406 --> 00:06:49,909
But if you go further with this
plan, it's only gonna cause
134
00:06:49,976 --> 00:06:50,610
more trouble.
135
00:06:50,676 --> 00:06:52,111
>> Nate: So be it.
136
00:06:52,178 --> 00:06:55,181
I highly doubt Devon and I can
get past this conflict.
137

>> Elena: Okay, so, what about
Lily?
138
00:06:57,049 --> 00:06:59,952
She's been doing nothing but
trying to keep the peace.
139
00:07:00,019 --> 00:07:03,189
She brought you into this
company.
140
00:07:03,256 --> 00:07:05,258
She gave you a chance.
141
00:07:05,324 --> 00:07:06,626
And she's been backing you up.
142
00:07:06,692 --> 00:07:08,094
>> Nate: Only to a point.
143
00:07:08,161 --> 00:07:11,798
And in the end, she'll side with
Devon each and every time,
144
00:07:11,864 --> 00:07:13,833
leaving me the odd man out.
145
00:07:13,900 --> 00:07:15,802
>> Elena: So, what, you want to
punish her, too?
146
00:07:15,868 --> 00:07:17,904
>> Nate: [ Sighs ]
>> Elena: Have you even thought
147
00:07:17,970 --> 00:07:20,139
about how much this is going to
hurt her?
148
00:07:20,206 --> 00:07:21,908
This feels so wrong to me.
149
00:07:21,974 --> 00:07:24,310
>> Nate: And it feels so right
to me.
150
00:07:24,377 --> 00:07:29,248
>> Elena: [ Scoffs ]
So, here we are, arguing and
151
00:07:29,315 --> 00:07:31,150
fighting again.
152
00:07:31,217 --> 00:07:34,720
>> Nate: Because you've
misconstrued my motives.
153
00:07:34,787 --> 00:07:39,425
I'd be helping Lily because,
ultimately, I would be helping
154
00:07:39,492 --> 00:07:43,129
Chancellor-Winters, the family
business Lily fought so hard to
155
00:07:43,196 --> 00:07:45,865
create.
156
00:07:45,932 --> 00:07:48,267
Elena, I am out to succeed.
157
00:07:48,334 --> 00:07:50,770
I am an asset, not a liability.
158
00:07:50,837 --> 00:07:52,705
That's what no one seems to
understand.
159
00:07:52,772 --> 00:07:53,773
>> Elena: Except for Imani?
160
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,576
>> Nate: She's helped me to see
my value.
161
00:07:56,642 --> 00:07:59,312
My ideas are strong, and I am
forward-thinking.
162
00:07:59,378 --> 00:08:00,446
What is wrong with that?
163
00:08:00,513 --> 00:08:03,683
>> Elena: There's nothing wrong
with being a visionary.
164
00:08:03,749 --> 00:08:06,285
But this is not what you're
talking about.
165
00:08:06,352 --> 00:08:10,623
>> Nate: [ Sighs ]
I disagree.
166
00:08:10,690 --> 00:08:14,560
My ideas are big, and this is
the right move for me to make,
167
00:08:14,627 --> 00:08:16,796
so I'm not gonna stop.
168
00:08:16,863 --> 00:08:18,698
This is my time.
169
00:08:18,764 --> 00:08:21,901
And it's the best way I can see
to make a lasting mark so I can
170
00:08:21,968 --> 00:08:25,771
finally take control.
171
00:08:25,838 --> 00:08:28,407
>> Elena: So then that's it?
172
00:08:28,474 --> 00:08:31,811
You're determined, and there's
no talking you out of it?
173
00:08:31,878 --> 00:08:34,580
>> Nate: My mind's made up, and
I'm gonna set things in motion
174
00:08:34,647 --> 00:08:36,349
today.
175
00:08:42,054 --> 00:08:44,490
>> Lily: Imani, we are a strong
family.
176
00:08:44,557 --> 00:08:47,894
We have tried to work things out
with Nate, and we will continue
177
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:49,128
to do so.
178
00:08:49,195 --> 00:08:52,498
But as the leaders of this
company, it is our
179
00:08:52,565 --> 00:08:55,201
responsibility to know where
things stand when it comes to
180
00:08:55,268 --> 00:08:58,471
the intellectual property that
Nate has been overseeing.
181
00:08:58,537 --> 00:09:01,007
And as a lawyer, you should know
this.
182
00:09:01,073 --> 00:09:02,108
I mean, Amanda does.
183
00:09:02,174 --> 00:09:04,510
She's the one who told us to
confirm these details.
184
00:09:04,577 --> 00:09:06,946
>> Imani: Okay, well, the best
way to protect our intellectual
185
00:09:07,013 --> 00:09:08,948
property is to keep Nate around.
186
00:09:09,015 --> 00:09:11,751
Guys, he is such an asset to
this company.
187
00:09:11,817 --> 00:09:15,454
He's got strong ideas, a real
passion for the work that we do.
188
00:09:15,521 --> 00:09:18,958
I've been trying to convince him
to stay.
189
00:09:19,025 --> 00:09:22,061
And I think if we all put forth
a genuine effort to make sure he
190
00:09:22,128 --> 00:09:24,931
knows he's valued, he could be
swayed.
191
00:09:24,997 --> 00:09:27,433
>> Devon: Imani, I'm not gonna
try and convince anyone to be
192
00:09:27,500 --> 00:09:30,569
here who doesn't want to be
here, okay?
193
00:09:30,636 --> 00:09:31,871
The man made up his mind.
194
00:09:31,938 --> 00:09:33,973
It's not gonna change just
because someone flatters him.
195
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,042
>> Imani: [ Scoffs ]
That's not what I said.
196
00:09:36,108 --> 00:09:38,744
>> Devon: Well, either way, I do
think it's the best thing that
197
00:09:38,811 --> 00:09:42,248
he left 'cause he and I can
never find common ground, and I
198
00:09:42,315 --> 00:09:43,516
didn't see that changing.
199
00:09:43,582 --> 00:09:47,520
>> Imani: Guys, this blows me
away, how easy it is for you to
200
00:09:47,586 --> 00:09:50,389
just let Nate go.
201
00:09:50,456 --> 00:09:53,125
>> Lily: None of this has been
easy.
202
00:09:53,192 --> 00:10:00,599
And I'm sorry, but I don't
know what you're getting at.
203
00:10:00,666 --> 00:10:04,704
>> Victoria: You're hesitating,
which means I'm right.
204
00:10:04,770 --> 00:10:06,405
You're gonna let Sally get away
with this?
205
00:10:06,472 --> 00:10:07,707
>> Nick: She made a mistake,
Vick.
206
00:10:07,773 --> 00:10:09,942
>> Victoria: Oh, is that what
we're calling it?
207
00:10:10,009 --> 00:10:11,477
>> Nick: I'm handling it, okay?
208
00:10:11,544 --> 00:10:14,213
[ Knock on door, door opens ]
>> Sally: Victoria, I was hoping
209
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:17,450
that you...
210
00:10:17,516 --> 00:10:19,685
have a minute?
211
00:10:19,752 --> 00:10:27,226
>> Victoria: What can I do
for you, Sally?
212
00:10:27,293 --> 00:10:30,463
>> Sally: I'm here to apologize
to you directly for missing the
213
00:10:30,529 --> 00:10:31,597
meeting yesterday.
214
00:10:31,664 --> 00:10:33,366
I'm just making things right
with the team.
215
00:10:33,432 --> 00:10:35,434
>> Victoria: Yes, so I've heard.
216
00:10:35,501 --> 00:10:38,871
>> Sally: Sometimes life
encroaches on work, and I know
217
00:10:38,938 --> 00:10:41,774
you understand that as well as
anyone.
218
00:10:41,841 --> 00:10:44,777
I've seen you handle a crisis in
your personal life without
219
00:10:44,844 --> 00:10:48,347
missing a beat here at Newman,
and I'm seriously in awe of your
220
00:10:48,414 --> 00:10:50,116
ability to do that.
221
00:10:50,182 --> 00:10:53,786
But I feel like I have the inner
resources and steely resolve
222
00:10:53,853 --> 00:10:56,589
that you have, so, in time, I'm
confident that I will be able to
223
00:10:56,655 --> 00:11:00,359
emulate your example.
224
00:11:00,426 --> 00:11:02,628
But yesterday I screwed up,
and it was my mistake.
225
00:11:02,695 --> 00:11:04,730
It will not happen again.
226
00:11:04,797 --> 00:11:06,632
>> Victoria: Good.
227
00:11:06,699 --> 00:11:10,369
>> Nick: Sally, I need to speak
to you about that other matter
228
00:11:10,436 --> 00:11:12,505
we got into yesterday.
229
00:11:12,571 --> 00:11:14,940
Do you have time for coffee?
230
00:11:15,007 --> 00:11:17,376
>> Sally: I will make time.
231
00:11:28,788 --> 00:11:31,524
>> Sally: Isn't it gorgeous out?
232
00:11:31,590 --> 00:11:32,892
>> Nick: Yeah.
233
00:11:32,958 --> 00:11:34,493
It's nice to get outside and
enjoy it.
234
00:11:34,560 --> 00:11:35,761
>> Sally: Mm-hmm.
235
00:11:35,828 --> 00:11:39,598
Yeah, it's the kind of day that
just stimulates your senses and
236
00:11:39,665 --> 00:11:46,172
makes you feel alive and
excited.
237
00:11:46,238 --> 00:11:48,741
[ Both chuckle ]
>> Nick: You know, you don't
238

have to do that with me, Sally.
239
00:11:50,476 --> 00:11:52,978
Try and make small talk.
240
00:11:53,045 --> 00:11:57,283
We can be honest with each
other.
241
00:11:57,349 --> 00:12:00,186
>> Sally: I don't want things to
be weird at work.
242
00:12:00,252 --> 00:12:04,623
>> Nick: Me either.
243
00:12:04,690 --> 00:12:08,627
>> Sally: Adam came to see me
last night after our weird
244
00:12:08,694 --> 00:12:09,528
dinner.
245
00:12:09,595 --> 00:12:12,465
[ Both chuckle ]
>> Nick: You mean after I
246
00:12:12,531 --> 00:12:14,600
dropped you off at your place?
247
00:12:14,667 --> 00:12:16,969
>> Sally: Yeah.
248
00:12:17,036 --> 00:12:24,110
He made some -- I guess you
would call them declarations.
249
00:12:24,176 --> 00:12:26,479
And they messed with my head.
250
00:12:26,545 --> 00:12:29,348
They made me feel pretty
conflicted.
251
00:12:39,358 --> 00:12:41,160
>> Adam: Is Sally around?
252
00:12:41,227 --> 00:12:43,829
>> Chloe: Uh, she got called
into a meeting with Nick.
253
00:12:43,896 --> 00:12:48,400
That's all I know.
254
00:12:48,467 --> 00:12:51,604
>> Adam: When I was CEO, I don't
think I interacted once with the
255
00:12:51,670 --> 00:12:53,372
Newman COOs.
256
00:12:53,439 --> 00:12:55,708
At least, not about work.
257
00:12:55,774 --> 00:12:59,712
>> Chloe: Maybe because it was
Nikki, who wanted nothing to do
258
00:12:59,778 --> 00:13:00,813
with you, much like me.
259
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:02,314
So, if you could please make
yourself scarce.
260
00:13:02,381 --> 00:13:04,783
>> Adam: Are Nick and Victoria
keeping a heavier hand on the
261
00:13:04,850 --> 00:13:05,751
day-to-day operations?
262
00:13:05,818 --> 00:13:07,720
And if so, why?
263
00:13:07,786 --> 00:13:08,821
What could that mean?
264
00:13:08,888 --> 00:13:10,523
>> Chloe: What are you getting
at?
265
00:13:10,589 --> 00:13:12,758
>> Adam: I'm just wondering.
266
00:13:12,825 --> 00:13:15,361
>> Chloe: If you're trying to
insinuate that they don't trust
267
00:13:15,427 --> 00:13:18,797
our new leadership, just say it.
268
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:22,968
>> Lily: Imani, I'm sorry.
269
00:13:23,035 --> 00:13:26,071
I shouldn't have snapped at you.
270
00:13:26,138 --> 00:13:28,774
>> Imani: Obviously, we all feel
strongly about this.
271
00:13:28,841 --> 00:13:31,076
>> Lily: Yes, we do.
272
00:13:31,143 --> 00:13:34,013
And just for the record, I have
not given up on Nate.
273
00:13:34,079 --> 00:13:36,215
I will continue to try to talk
to him.
274
00:13:36,282 --> 00:13:39,218
And I hope that you will keep an
open mind in case I can win him
275
00:13:39,285 --> 00:13:42,354
over -- 'cause this whole thing
has spiraled completely out of
276
00:13:42,421 --> 00:13:44,490
control and at the worst
possible time.
277
00:13:44,557 --> 00:13:46,458
>> Devon: Why are you concerned
about the timing of it?
278
00:13:46,525 --> 00:13:50,095
>> Lily: Because I think that,
you know, what Jill suggested
279
00:13:50,162 --> 00:13:51,830
is the right way to go.
280
00:13:51,897 --> 00:13:53,566

a second 'cause --
281

>> Lily: Well -- [ Stammers ]
Look, let's just pretend that
282
00:13:56,602 --> 00:13:58,904
Nate isn't coming back, okay?
283
00:13:58,971 --> 00:14:01,307
So, please look into his
contract and let us know what
284
00:14:01,373 --> 00:14:02,341
we're up against.
285
00:14:02,408 --> 00:14:03,609
>> Imani: Done.
286
00:14:03,676 --> 00:14:06,612
I will track down information on
the NDA and non-compete, if they
287
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:08,080
exist.
288
00:14:08,147 --> 00:14:09,648
But thank you.

yet.

for Nate.

like you've already made up your

mind and you're siding with
Jill?

anybody.

313

beginning stages of
exploring it.

>> Devon: Right.
315
00:14:57,830 --> 00:15:01,166
I just think that you're about
to make an impulsive decision

important.

it's different from mine.

I know I'm not the only one that
has concerns about going public.

doesn't he?

down and hash things out -- and
get approval from the board,

00:15:58,557 --> 00:16:00,793
Why are you so quick to assume
you and Sally are on the
343
00:16:00,859 --> 00:16:01,527
chopping block?
344
00:16:01,593 --> 00:16:04,129
Has she said anything about it?
345
00:16:04,196 --> 00:16:08,534
>> Chloe: Okay, well, if you
must know, it's because she
346
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:12,404
missed a very important meeting
yesterday because she was with
347
00:16:12,471 --> 00:16:12,971
you.
348
00:16:13,038 --> 00:16:13,605
>> Adam: Mm-hmm.
349
00:16:13,672 --> 00:16:14,873
>> Chloe: Yes.
350
00:16:14,940 --> 00:16:16,742
I know all about it.
351
00:16:16,809 --> 00:16:19,678
>> Adam: She told me about her
scheduling gaffe when I was with
352
00:16:19,745 --> 00:16:23,382
her last night, and I -- I felt
terrible, okay?
353
00:16:23,449 --> 00:16:25,351
The last thing I want to do is
cause more problems for her,
354
00:16:25,417 --> 00:16:26,418
Chloe.
355
00:16:26,485 --> 00:16:27,820
>> Chloe: The two of you were
with each other again?
356
00:16:27,886 --> 00:16:28,654
Twice in one day?
357
00:16:28,721 --> 00:16:29,321
>> Adam: Yes.
358
00:16:29,388 --> 00:16:30,289
>> Chloe: Adam!
359
00:16:30,356 --> 00:16:31,357
>> Adam: What?
360
00:16:31,423 --> 00:16:34,526
>> Adam: You broke up with her,
and you crushed her.
361
00:16:34,593 --> 00:16:36,428
She was confused.
362
00:16:36,495 --> 00:16:40,466
And then she finally starts
feeling like herself again and
363
00:16:40,532 --> 00:16:43,769
she gets her stride back and
then you just come out of the
364
00:16:43,836 --> 00:16:45,804
woodworks and start causing
problems.
365
00:16:45,871 --> 00:16:49,375
Do you not understand how cruel
that is?
366
00:16:49,441 --> 00:16:50,542
Or do you just not care?
367
00:16:50,609 --> 00:16:54,646
Why are you so compelled to
always destroy every single
368
00:16:54,713 --> 00:16:56,415
person you were ever in a
relationship with?
369
00:16:56,482 --> 00:16:57,850
>> Adam: Enough!
370
00:16:57,916 --> 00:17:00,285
I don't need this kind of abuse
from you, Chloe.
371
00:17:00,352 --> 00:17:02,154
And my personal life is none of
your business.
372
00:17:02,221 --> 00:17:04,823
>> Chloe: Well, when you hurt my
friend, it is my business.
373
00:17:04,890 --> 00:17:08,527
>> Adam: And for the record, I
only have Sally's best interests
374
00:17:08,594 --> 00:17:09,428
at heart.
375
00:17:09,495 --> 00:17:11,430
Not that I will ever convince
you of that.
376
00:17:11,497 --> 00:17:12,030
>> Chloe: No.
377
00:17:12,097 --> 00:17:13,699
You sure as hell won't.
378
00:17:13,766 --> 00:17:16,168
>> Adam: Okay.
379
00:17:16,235 --> 00:17:20,973
I'm out of here, alright?

00:17:40,826 --> 00:17:42,694
ask you what Adam's declarations
were about.
383
00:17:42,761 --> 00:17:44,863
>> Sally: I'm sure you don't.
384
00:17:44,930 --> 00:17:47,232
'Cause he made it pretty clear
where he stands last night
385
00:17:47,299 --> 00:17:51,236
during our awkward conversation
at Society.
386
00:17:51,303 --> 00:17:54,907
>> Nick: I know I've been trying
to warn you off him.
387
00:17:54,973 --> 00:17:59,211
>> Sally: You and everyone else
in this town.
388
00:17:59,278 --> 00:18:06,885
>> Nick: Look, I know that you
had -- well, you have very
389
00:18:06,952 --> 00:18:10,189
strong feelings about my
brother.
390
00:18:10,255 --> 00:18:12,691
And I don't want to make things
more difficult for you if you're
391
00:18:12,758 --> 00:18:15,494
trying to get back together with
him.
392
00:18:15,561 --> 00:18:19,832

that's where things are headed,

you know?
394
00:18:20,833 --> 00:18:22,601
Or even if that's something that
I'd want --
395
00:18:22,668 --> 00:18:26,371
>> Nick: Look, I don't think we
should talk about Adam.
396
00:18:26,438 --> 00:18:31,243
I understand messy and
complicated love.
397
00:18:31,310 --> 00:18:35,080
But that is for the two of you
to sort out, without me being
398
00:18:35,147 --> 00:18:37,282
any kind of factor whatsoever.

>> Adam: I'm looking for Sally.
401
00:18:49,828 --> 00:18:51,563
I heard she had a meeting with
Nick, and they weren't in his
402
00:18:51,630 --> 00:18:51,997
office.
403
00:18:52,064 --> 00:18:52,998
>> Victoria: Oh.
404
00:18:53,065 --> 00:18:54,633
You just missed them.
405
00:18:54,700 --> 00:18:56,568
I think they stepped out to grab
some coffee.
406
00:18:56,635 --> 00:18:59,204
Shouldn't you be settling into
your new position at Jabot?
407
00:18:59,271 --> 00:19:02,107
I guess if you have all this
free time to be chasing around
408
00:19:02,174 --> 00:19:04,543
after your ex, it's not that
important of a job.
409
00:19:04,610 --> 00:19:08,180
It was probably a mercy offering
from Jack since he's one of the
410
00:19:08,247 --> 00:19:11,049
few people who can still
tolerate you in this town.

Mm-hmm.
413
00:19:13,886 --> 00:19:15,287
And I have a lot on my plate.

But, uh, I am capable of
multi-tasking.

mean?

00:19:23,161 --> 00:19:26,131
>> Victoria: Well, if you were
actually in touch with her, you
418
00:19:26,198 --> 00:19:28,267
know damn well what that means.
419
00:19:28,333 --> 00:19:30,536
She was supposed to give a
presentation at a marketing

00:19:30,602 --> 00:19:33,405
summit yesterday, and she
completely blew it off.
421
00:19:33,472 --> 00:19:36,508
Chloe had to step in for her.
422
00:19:36,575 --> 00:19:41,213
This is not a behavior that I
value in one of my CEOs.
423

>> Adam: Do you have any idea
why Sally was a no-show?
424
00:19:44,016 --> 00:19:46,685

have my COO to take care of my

personnel issues.
426
00:19:48,220 --> 00:19:49,721
Nicholas got into it with her.
427
00:19:49,788 --> 00:19:53,492
Something about extenuating
circumstances, the fact that it
428
00:19:53,559 --> 00:19:57,496
would never happen again, which
remains to be seen.
429

someone's career, Victoria.
431
00:20:01,733 --> 00:20:04,903
>> Victoria: Oh, I agree with
that in theory.
432
00:20:04,970 --> 00:20:08,607
But I also know that people are
replaceable, which is something
433
00:20:08,674 --> 00:20:13,845
that I hope Nick is making very
clear to Sally right now.

admit it.

Look, I tried to reason with
him, encouraged him to reach
450
00:20:39,338 --> 00:20:42,140
out, talk things through, but
you were right.
451
00:20:42,207 --> 00:20:43,575

put it.

bumping heads with me.

00:23:32,878 --> 00:23:34,913
I thought you broke up with her.
514
00:23:34,980 --> 00:23:38,183
I thought you were the one who
ended things.
515
00:23:38,250 --> 00:23:41,119
If your continued presence in
her life is causing this
516
00:23:41,186 --> 00:23:44,556
distraction, for the love of
God, why don't you just let her
517
00:23:44,623 --> 00:23:45,891
go?
518
00:23:45,957 --> 00:23:48,560
I mean, if you really, really
care about her, why don't you
519
00:23:48,627 --> 00:23:51,396
just let her get on with her
life?
520
00:23:51,463 --> 00:23:54,099
>> Adam: I am just so sick of
everybody telling me that,
521
00:23:54,166 --> 00:23:55,233
Victoria.
522
00:23:55,300 --> 00:23:56,835
I'm trying to right a wrong.
523
00:23:56,902 --> 00:24:00,138
Isn't that what civilized,
evolved people do?
524
00:24:00,205 --> 00:24:03,074
>> Victoria: Yes, but I'm --
[ Chuckling ] I'm sorry.
525
00:24:03,141 --> 00:24:05,177
Is that what you're claiming to
be now?
526
00:24:05,243 --> 00:24:07,379
>> Adam: I'm trying to prove
that is what I am now.
527
00:24:07,445 --> 00:24:08,547
>> Victoria: Oh.
528
00:24:08,613 --> 00:24:12,150
And you really expect me to
believe that -- that you love
529
00:24:12,217 --> 00:24:13,385
the woman?
530
00:24:13,451 --> 00:24:15,921
>> Adam: I learned a long time
ago not to expect anything from
531
00:24:15,987 --> 00:24:17,422
you.
532
00:24:17,489 --> 00:24:21,459
But, yes, I do love Sally.
533
00:24:21,526 --> 00:24:23,862
And I made a terrible mistake
thinking that I was helping her,
534
00:24:23,929 --> 00:24:25,931
and I'm trying to fix that.
535
00:24:25,997 --> 00:24:28,033
I guess you can't understand
admitting that you screwed up.
536
00:24:28,099 --> 00:24:31,069
You just like to forge ahead,
pretend like you didn't leave a
537
00:24:31,136 --> 00:24:33,572
wake of destruction.
538
00:24:33,638 --> 00:24:35,173
So I guess I shouldn't be
surprised that you have no
539
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:36,575
clue where I'm coming from.
540
00:24:58,964 --> 00:25:02,234
>> Sally: Yeah, I need to steer
clear of any complications
541
00:25:02,300 --> 00:25:06,037
'cause I realized by letting
myself get distracted yesterday,
542
00:25:06,104 --> 00:25:08,974
I put everything in jeopardy.
543
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:13,712
My judgment hasn't been great,
as you know.
544
00:25:13,778 --> 00:25:16,147
So I just need to keep my
attention laser-focused on
545
00:25:16,214 --> 00:25:18,083
Newman Media.
546
00:25:18,149 --> 00:25:21,319
What was it that you texted me
yesterday?
547
00:25:21,386 --> 00:25:24,022
"CEOs miss meetings sometimes."
548
00:25:24,089 --> 00:25:26,625
>> Nick: Yeah.

00:25:26,691 --> 00:25:29,060
Everyone slips up once in a
while.

afford to.
551
00:25:31,563 --> 00:25:35,500
I mean, not now that Victoria's
so ticked off at me.
552
00:25:35,567 --> 00:25:40,171
But I do appreciate your
understanding.
553
00:25:40,238 --> 00:25:42,607
You know, I think you and I
should have the same for each
554
00:25:42,674 --> 00:25:45,677
other in this moment.
555
00:25:45,744 --> 00:25:49,314
>> Nick: Yeah.
556
00:25:49,381 --> 00:25:51,583
Yeah.
557
00:25:59,190 --> 00:26:08,667
So, should we head back to the
office?

561
00:27:03,421 --> 00:27:05,523
impressive.
562
00:27:05,590 --> 00:27:08,493
I admire that, when someone can
lose themselves in their work
563
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:09,361
like that.
564
00:27:09,427 --> 00:27:10,362
I'm the same way.
565
00:27:10,428 --> 00:27:12,530

>> Victoria: What brings you by,
566
00:27:12,597 --> 00:27:13,531
Nate?

00:27:13,598 --> 00:27:16,634
[ Door closes ]
>> Nate: I have a proposal that
568
00:27:16,701 --> 00:27:23,975
I believe will be of great
interest to you.
569
00:27:24,042 --> 00:27:30,482
[ Both breathing heavily ]
>> Sally: W-Well, that did not
570
00:27:30,548 --> 00:27:33,485
go according to plan.
571
00:27:33,551 --> 00:27:36,154
>> Nick: No, not at all.
572
00:27:36,221 --> 00:27:38,490
>> Sally: [ Exhales sharply ]
I did not intend for this to
573
00:27:38,556 --> 00:27:40,492
happen again, I-I swear.
574
00:27:40,558 --> 00:27:45,363
I didn't even think it was a
possibility.
575
00:27:45,430 --> 00:27:48,266
>> Nick: I mean, this, uh --
this attraction, whatever it is
576
00:27:48,333 --> 00:27:50,735
we're calling it...
577
00:27:50,802 --> 00:27:53,571
I never thought in a million
years.
578
00:27:53,638 --> 00:27:59,044
>> Sally: A billion years.
579
00:27:59,110 --> 00:28:01,179
>> Nick: Trillion.
580
00:28:01,246 --> 00:28:04,682
>> Sally: Quadrillion.
581
00:28:04,749 --> 00:28:08,887
>> Nick: [ Sighs ]
Pentillion?
582
00:28:08,953 --> 00:28:10,021
>> Sally: Quintrillion.

I kid you not.

you in trivia night.

00:28:32,977 --> 00:28:42,220
I have expertise in all sorts of
areas you would never expect.

>> Nick: This is, um...
591
00:28:45,890 --> 00:28:48,026
unexpected.
592
00:28:48,093 --> 00:28:52,464
Surprising.
593
00:28:52,530 --> 00:28:58,403
>> Sally: Well, we could analyze
it to death, or we could just
594
00:28:58,470 --> 00:29:03,875
order some room service,
grab a shower...
595
00:29:03,942 --> 00:29:09,547
eat lunch, and...
596
00:29:09,614 --> 00:29:12,217
get back to work.
597
00:29:17,522 --> 00:29:20,391
>> Lily: I know that we need to
have a serious conversation
598
00:29:20,458 --> 00:29:24,162
about the possibility of going
public, but I feel like there's
599
00:29:24,229 --> 00:29:27,132
something more pressing right
now.
600
00:29:27,198 --> 00:29:30,869
>> Devon: You'd like to talk
about Nate some more?
601
00:29:30,935 --> 00:29:33,138
>> Lily: Yeah.
602
00:29:33,204 --> 00:29:40,111
Um, I am really upset that the
tension between you two has
603
00:29:40,178 --> 00:29:43,681
gotten to the point where Nate
feels like his only option is
604
00:29:43,748 --> 00:29:45,617
to quit.
605
00:29:45,683 --> 00:29:48,286
>> Devon: Yeah. So do I.
606
00:29:48,353 --> 00:29:50,755
Do you blame me for it?
607
00:29:50,822 --> 00:29:55,393
>> Lily: I mean, frankly,
yeah, I kind of do.
608
00:29:55,460 --> 00:29:59,230
And, look, I'm not saying that
he's blameless because he's not,
609
00:29:59,297 --> 00:30:00,298
you know?
610
00:30:00,365 --> 00:30:02,333
But I feel like there's
something going on inside of
611
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:06,437
your head where you won't accept
anything that he has to offer,
612
00:30:06,504 --> 00:30:09,340
even when he addresses your
concerns.
613
00:30:09,407 --> 00:30:11,643
I just -- I-I feel like
you're being unfair to him.
614
00:30:11,709 --> 00:30:13,144
>> Devon: I don't know where
you're getting that from 'cause
615
00:30:13,211 --> 00:30:14,412
I listen to everything he says.
616
00:30:14,479 --> 00:30:16,047
>> Lily: Hold on. Let me just --
Wait. Let me just -- I'm sorry.
617
00:30:16,114 --> 00:30:17,916
Let me just finish 'cause I just
want to get this out.
618
00:30:17,982 --> 00:30:18,883
>> Devon: Sure.
619
00:30:18,950 --> 00:30:23,188
>> Lily: [ Sighs ]
I wanted to do this merger
620
00:30:23,254 --> 00:30:27,659
because I wanted to build on
what you and Dad had created.
621
00:30:27,725 --> 00:30:30,728
I wanted to build something for
our family.
622
00:30:30,795 --> 00:30:33,331
And so I don't want to lose
Nate.
623
00:30:33,398 --> 00:30:36,501
I can't lose him, okay?
624
00:30:36,568 --> 00:30:40,238
So, please, Devon, please --
I just need you to consider
625
00:30:40,305 --> 00:30:41,973
your part in this.
626
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:43,208
Like, why?
627
00:30:43,274 --> 00:30:46,244
Why is it so hard for you to let
him have a win every once in a
628
00:30:46,311 --> 00:30:46,945
while?
629
00:30:47,011 --> 00:30:48,079
>> Devon: That's not what it is.
630
00:30:48,146 --> 00:30:50,114
>> Lily: Okay. Then what is it?
631
00:30:50,181 --> 00:30:51,549
I mean, what -- Just tell me.
632
00:30:51,616 --> 00:30:56,621
I mean, have you been autonomous
for so long that maybe it's hard
633
00:30:56,688 --> 00:30:59,457
for you to, you know, give up a
little bit of control?
634
00:30:59,524 --> 00:31:01,793
'Cause if that's the case,
I get it.
635
00:31:01,859 --> 00:31:04,762
You've had control over things
for a long time, especially the
636
00:31:04,829 --> 00:31:05,930
music side.
637
00:31:05,997 --> 00:31:08,866
So, you know, it can be hard to
delegate, and that's fine.
638
00:31:08,933 --> 00:31:10,268
That's totally fine.
639
00:31:10,335 --> 00:31:12,036
If that's the case, let's talk
about it.
640
00:31:12,103 --> 00:31:12,937
Let's figure it out.
641
00:31:13,004 --> 00:31:15,873
We'll work it out.
642
00:31:15,940 --> 00:31:18,977
Or, what, is it deeper than
that?
643
00:31:19,043 --> 00:31:23,381
I mean, are you subconsciously
trying to punish Nate for what
644
00:31:23,448 --> 00:31:26,117
happened with Elena?
645
00:31:26,184 --> 00:31:27,685
>> Victoria: A proposal?
646
00:31:27,752 --> 00:31:29,754
Well, that sounds intriguing.
647
00:31:29,821 --> 00:31:32,857
>> Nate: First, some news.
648
00:31:32,924 --> 00:31:35,827
Jill's informed upper management
that she wants to take
649
00:31:35,893 --> 00:31:38,463
Chancellor-Winters public.
650
00:31:38,529 --> 00:31:42,634
>> Victoria: That's a very big
move for a family company.
651
00:31:42,700 --> 00:31:46,104
I mean, particularly one that's
merged so recently.
652
00:31:46,170 --> 00:31:49,107
>> Nate: Devon's first knee-jerk
reaction was to say no.
653
00:31:49,173 --> 00:31:49,774
Typical.
654
00:31:49,841 --> 00:31:52,076
Billy seemed hesitant.
655
00:31:52,143 --> 00:31:54,012
But Lily's all-in.
656
00:31:54,078 --> 00:31:57,148
I believe she and Jill will
prevail.
657
00:31:57,215 --> 00:31:59,450
>> Victoria: Did Jill say why
she was proposing this?
658
00:31:59,517 --> 00:32:02,120
>> Nate: The usual reason -- to
raise capital for a rapid
659
00:32:02,186 --> 00:32:03,321
expansion.
660
00:32:03,388 --> 00:32:06,791
Meanwhile, I know you've been on
a shopping spree for Newman.
661
00:32:06,858 --> 00:32:10,795
>> Victoria: [ Chuckles ]
I guess you could say that.
662
00:32:10,862 --> 00:32:13,798
>> Nate: I'm willing to be your
inside man feeding you
663
00:32:13,865 --> 00:32:17,502
information, anything that can
be helpful so you can be ready
664
00:32:17,568 --> 00:32:19,704
to make your move.
665
00:32:19,771 --> 00:32:21,939
>> Victoria: Are you suggesting
what I think you are?
666
00:32:22,006 --> 00:32:25,009
>> Nate: You can buy up shares
for Newman, gain majority
667
00:32:25,076 --> 00:32:27,412
control of the company.
668
00:32:34,986 --> 00:32:38,089
>> Devon: Lily, Nate and I got
past that situation with Elena
669
00:32:38,156 --> 00:32:39,657
a long time ago.
670
00:32:39,724 --> 00:32:41,893
This isn't some kind of payback.
671
00:32:41,959 --> 00:32:44,696
And I'm not a vindictive person,
so it doesn't feel great that
672
00:32:44,762 --> 00:32:45,763
you would imply that about me.
673
00:32:45,830 --> 00:32:47,265
>> Lily: Okay. I'm sorry.
674
00:32:47,332 --> 00:32:50,168
I-I am. I just -- [ Sighs ]
I mean, come on.
675
00:32:50,234 --> 00:32:52,437
I'm trying to figure this out to
keep our family from falling
676
00:32:52,503 --> 00:32:53,504
apart.
677
00:32:53,571 --> 00:32:54,772
>> Devon: I understand
completely what you're trying
678
00:32:54,839 --> 00:32:55,540
to do.
679
00:32:55,606 --> 00:32:57,175
I just don't know what to tell
you.
680
00:32:57,241 --> 00:32:58,710
I really don't.
681
00:32:58,776 --> 00:33:00,445
I mean, you know what?
682
00:33:00,511 --> 00:33:03,348
Maybe there's some truth to what
you're saying about my
683
00:33:03,414 --> 00:33:04,682
leadership skills.
684
00:33:04,749 --> 00:33:06,751
I know it's my instinct to take
charge.
685
00:33:06,818 --> 00:33:09,587
I tend to think I know what's
best, which I guess can be
686
00:33:09,654 --> 00:33:11,756
annoying to some people, but
that's only because of all the
687
00:33:11,823 --> 00:33:13,124
experience I have.
688
00:33:13,191 --> 00:33:15,626
I've been working in the
business world since I was a
689
00:33:15,693 --> 00:33:16,661
teenager, with Neil.
690
00:33:16,728 --> 00:33:17,695
You know this.
691
00:33:17,762 --> 00:33:19,163
I know what to look for.
692
00:33:19,230 --> 00:33:21,899
And I usually can see the
pitfalls about 10 steps ahead of
693
00:33:21,966 --> 00:33:23,201
any idea Nate brings to me.
694
00:33:23,267 --> 00:33:24,635
>> Lily: I know that. I know.
695
00:33:24,702 --> 00:33:26,170
And I get it. That's fine.
696
00:33:26,237 --> 00:33:28,840
But, I mean, sometimes people
have to make their own mistakes.
697
00:33:28,906 --> 00:33:32,009
It can't always be you, you
know, showing someone the next
698
00:33:32,076 --> 00:33:33,878
dangerous curve ahead.
699
00:33:33,945 --> 00:33:37,648
>> Devon: So, what you're saying
is that, in order to get Nate to
700
00:33:37,715 --> 00:33:40,818
believe that I know more about
business than he does, I need to
701
00:33:40,885 --> 00:33:43,955
be more open to his ideas
and give him the opportunity to
702
00:33:44,021 --> 00:33:45,022
fail.
703
00:33:49,660 --> 00:33:52,563
>> Victoria: Well, I have to
say, I'm -- I'm completely
704
00:33:52,630 --> 00:33:57,535
stunned that you would come here
to tell me this.
705
00:33:57,602 --> 00:34:00,838
Why would you help Newman gain a
controlling share of
706
00:34:00,905 --> 00:34:03,241
Chancellor-Winters?
707
00:34:03,307 --> 00:34:08,846
>> Nate: You said you admired my
ideas, my energy, my skills.
708
00:34:08,913 --> 00:34:12,550
You know I'm ambitious, driven
to make a mark in the business
709
00:34:12,617 --> 00:34:16,220
world, to prove this is where I
can shine.
710
00:34:16,287 --> 00:34:18,890
>> Victoria: And you think that
feeding me insider information
711
00:34:18,956 --> 00:34:20,358
is the way to do that.
712
00:34:20,425 --> 00:34:23,961
>> Nate: You want to find a
place for me at Newman?
713
00:34:24,028 --> 00:34:26,197
Well, this is the place I want.
714
00:34:26,264 --> 00:34:30,234
I'll help you acquire
Chancellor-Winters shares if you
715
00:34:30,301 --> 00:34:33,438
put me in control of the
company.
716
00:34:33,504 --> 00:34:42,213
>> Victoria: You would that
to your own family?
717
00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:44,282
>> Sally: [ Sighs ]
718
00:34:52,423 --> 00:34:55,860
Have you seen my phone?
719
00:34:56,861 --> 00:34:58,563
>> Nick: Right here.
720
00:34:58,629 --> 00:34:59,697
>> Sally: Geez.
721
00:34:59,764 --> 00:35:02,099
Just kick them both under the
bed, why don't you?
722
00:35:02,166 --> 00:35:04,602
>> Nick: Don't tempt me.
723
00:35:15,413 --> 00:35:17,048
>> Sally: Anything important?
724
00:35:17,114 --> 00:35:19,317
>> Nick: No. You?
725
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:33,965
>> Sally: Nothing that can't
wait.
726
00:35:34,031 --> 00:35:36,300
I should get back to the office,
though.
727
00:35:36,367 --> 00:35:39,270
Room service is taking forever.
728
00:35:39,337 --> 00:35:41,506
So, do you mind if I cancel?
729
00:35:41,572 --> 00:35:44,609
[ Knock on door ]
>> Nick: Must be them now.
730
00:35:44,675 --> 00:35:45,643
>> Sally: Hallelujah.

00:35:45,710 --> 00:35:47,178

about me.

my brother?

will you make me the happiest

man in Genoa City?

Will you marry me again?

admit, I've -- I've thought a

lot about you over the years,
you know, all the things that we
