>> Adam: Hey, bud. I'm so sorry.
I got caught up at work, and
2
00:00:06,873 --> 00:00:09,976
I lost track of time.
How you doing?
3
00:00:10,043 --> 00:00:14,147
>> Connor: I'm fine.
Sally's been here.
4
00:00:14,214 --> 00:00:16,649
>> Adam: Thank you for, um,
texting me.
5
00:00:16,716 --> 00:00:21,221
I appreciate it.
I've, uh, got it from here.
6
00:00:21,287 --> 00:00:25,258
>> Sally: Okay.
>> Adam: So, what have you been
7
00:00:25,325 --> 00:00:26,960
doing?
You working on some homework?
8
00:00:27,026 --> 00:00:29,396
>> Connor: No.
I forgot my backpack in Mom's
9
00:00:29,462 --> 00:00:30,597
car.
>> Adam: Oh.
10
00:00:30,663 --> 00:00:33,800
Well, we can get that later.
>> Sally: I guess I should get
11
00:00:33,867 --> 00:00:36,770
going, but thank you for keeping
me company, Connor.
12
00:00:36,836 --> 00:00:39,439
I enjoyed hanging out with you.
>> Connor: Me too.
13
00:00:39,506 --> 00:00:50,450
>> Sally: [ Chuckles ]
>> Adam: What are you drinking?
14
00:00:50,517 --> 00:00:53,620
>> Connor: Hot chocolate.

>> Billy: I am still in shock
about Nate they did.
20
00:01:31,791 --> 00:01:34,994
I can only imagine how you feel.
>> Lily: Yeah.
21
00:01:35,061 --> 00:01:42,068
I feel confused, you know?
Betrayed.
22
00:01:42,135 --> 00:01:44,137
I think it's gonna take me a
while to wrap my head around the
23
00:01:44,204 --> 00:01:48,274
fact that my own cousin was
willing to hand over our family
24
00:01:48,341 --> 00:01:51,344
business to another CEO.
>> Billy: You know, I would
25
00:01:51,411 --> 00:01:54,647
expect something like this from
Adam, but not a decent guy like
26
00:01:54,714 --> 00:01:56,216
Nate.
>> Lily: Yeah.
27
00:01:56,282 --> 00:01:59,519
I wonder if I even really know
him, which is crazy.
28
00:01:59,586 --> 00:02:02,222
I mean, we -- we grew up
together.
29
00:02:02,288 --> 00:02:05,225
>> Billy: Lily, don't
second-guess yourself about
30
00:02:05,291 --> 00:02:07,727
this, okay?
I mean, I'm not gonna try and
31
00:02:07,794 --> 00:02:10,163
understand what he was thinking
throughout this whole process,
32
00:02:10,230 --> 00:02:13,333
but if this is truly between him
and Devon, it's got nothing to
33
00:02:13,399 --> 00:02:17,303
do with you.
>> Lily: You know, what hurts
34
00:02:17,370 --> 00:02:24,244
the most is that [scoffs] I
really believed that our family
35
00:02:24,310 --> 00:02:28,982
wasn't like the Newmans.
You know? Or the Abbotts.
36
00:02:29,048 --> 00:02:31,784
I mean, no offense.
>> Billy: None taken.
37
00:02:31,851 --> 00:02:34,487
>> Lily: [ Sighs ]
But I guess we're no better than
38
00:02:34,554 --> 00:02:38,591
anyone else, you know?
Or maybe Chancellor-Winters just
39
00:02:38,658 --> 00:02:44,063
changed us for the worse.
>> Billy: I am so sorry.
40
00:02:44,130 --> 00:02:47,934
I really wish that I could solve
all your problems for you.
41
00:02:48,001 --> 00:02:49,502
Of course, there is one thing I
can do.
42
00:02:49,569 --> 00:02:53,139
I could stick around until the
IPO goes through, if we still
43
00:02:53,206 --> 00:02:55,008
decide to go through with that.
>> Lily: No, no, no, no, no.
44
00:02:55,074 --> 00:02:57,677
It's up in the air.
Devon's opposed to it.
45
00:02:57,744 --> 00:03:00,079
I don't know how Jill feels
about it.
46
00:03:00,146 --> 00:03:02,515
>> Billy: Well, I am worried
about the public perception once
47
00:03:02,582 --> 00:03:04,984
everyone finds out that Nate's
been fired and if I'm walking
48
00:03:05,051 --> 00:03:07,287
away.
And I want to be here to
49
00:03:07,353 --> 00:03:09,656
support you.
>> Lily: Thank you.
50
00:03:09,722 --> 00:03:13,092
I appreciate that.
But I will figure it out.
51
00:03:13,159 --> 00:03:15,461
>> Billy: Of course you will.
You always do.
52
00:03:15,528 --> 00:03:19,666
But it wouldn't be just for you.
I mean, it would be me
53
00:03:19,732 --> 00:03:23,202
supporting my mother, as well.
She co-owns this company, and
54
00:03:23,269 --> 00:03:27,307
it's in flux.
So maybe it is best if I stick
55
00:03:27,373 --> 00:03:30,777
around, at least till everything
sorts itself out.
56
00:03:30,843 --> 00:03:34,180
>> Nate: All I wanted when I
joined Chancellor-Winters was a
57
00:03:34,247 --> 00:03:37,083
chance to be an active
contributor, with ideas that
58
00:03:37,150 --> 00:03:40,954
could be implemented, and given
a chance to become a success.
59
00:03:41,020 --> 00:03:45,124
But you were never going to
allow that.
60
00:03:45,191 --> 00:03:48,227
So there was only one way for me
to prove myself and really have
61
00:03:48,294 --> 00:03:51,297
a hand in things.
When the opportunity arose,
62
00:03:51,364 --> 00:03:53,366
I grabbed it.
>> Devon: Nate, you grabbed an
63
00:03:53,433 --> 00:03:55,702
opportunity to stab the people
in the back that gave you the
64
00:03:55,768 --> 00:03:56,836
space to even dream on that
level.
65
00:03:56,903 --> 00:03:59,138
>> Nate: That's because I
realized there was no actual
66
00:03:59,205 --> 00:04:01,107
opportunities for me at
Chancellor-Winters.
67
00:04:01,174 --> 00:04:03,876
And why is that?
You don't know how to manage
68
00:04:03,943 --> 00:04:06,212
people.
>> Devon: Well, that's the thing
69
00:04:06,279 --> 00:04:08,514
about opinions -- because I
never had an issue with managing
70
00:04:08,581 --> 00:04:11,918
anybody before you.
And my track record speaks for
71
00:04:11,985 --> 00:04:14,253
itself.
I've actually achieved a lot of
72
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,090
the success you say you want,
and the difference is I've
73
00:04:17,156 --> 00:04:19,459
actually done it.
>> Nate: You know, I'd like to
74
00:04:19,525 --> 00:04:22,195
talk to some of your employees,
see how they feel about your
75
00:04:22,262 --> 00:04:25,331
management style, because, if
you ask me, I'd say you don't
76
00:04:25,398 --> 00:04:29,469
know how to delegate.
You refuse to trust anyone's
77
00:04:29,535 --> 00:04:32,372
business sense unless it's your
own.
78
00:04:32,438 --> 00:04:35,942
And in your mind, no answer is
right unless it's coming from
79
00:04:36,009 --> 00:04:37,677
you.
80
00:04:45,485 --> 00:04:47,587
>> Devon: I swear, I feel like
you're messing with me at this
81
00:04:47,654 --> 00:04:49,389
point -- 'cause I know you're
not dumb.
82
00:04:49,455 --> 00:04:51,457
I know you understand how
hierarchy works.
83
00:04:51,524 --> 00:04:55,028
A boss can take input from the
people that work for them,
84
00:04:55,094 --> 00:04:58,064
they can listen to their ideas,
but at the end of the day,
85
00:04:58,131 --> 00:05:00,900
they make the final decision and
everybody has to be okay with
86
00:05:00,967 --> 00:05:02,335
it.
And if they're not, they can
87
00:05:02,402 --> 00:05:04,570
leave, like you did.
>> Nate: Hmm.
88
00:05:04,637 --> 00:05:06,506
Your ego is shining through
and through.
89
00:05:06,572 --> 00:05:10,443
>> Devon: How's my ego shining?
What happened to the Nate that
90
00:05:10,510 --> 00:05:12,712
came begging for his job back,
saying that he understood his
91
00:05:12,779 --> 00:05:14,914
role in the company and he knew
what he did wrong and yadda,
92
00:05:14,981 --> 00:05:17,250
yadda, yadda.
Where's that guy at?
93
00:05:17,316 --> 00:05:19,919
Oh, I know what happened to him.
He never existed in the first
94
00:05:19,986 --> 00:05:21,988
place because the only reason
you came back was to get
95
00:05:22,055 --> 00:05:23,790
information so you can screw
over your family.
96
00:05:23,856 --> 00:05:25,558
>> Nate: This was always about
business.
97
00:05:25,625 --> 00:05:27,794
It was never personal.
>> Devon: How do you figure
98
00:05:27,860 --> 00:05:32,131
it's not personal, Nate?
How do you figure?
99
00:05:32,198 --> 00:05:33,700
Lily and don't trust you
anymore.
100
00:05:33,766 --> 00:05:37,403
So, that's your family.
Elena's been staying in a hotel.
101
00:05:37,470 --> 00:05:39,706
I heard from Memorial that she
took time off to leave town.
102
00:05:39,772 --> 00:05:42,108
So, there's your girl.
That's your family and your
103
00:05:42,175 --> 00:05:43,342
girl.
It doesn't get much more
104
00:05:43,409 --> 00:05:45,478
personal than that.
>> Nate: How would you know
105
00:05:45,545 --> 00:05:48,881
Elena left town?
What, are you Victor Newman now,
106
00:05:48,948 --> 00:05:52,185
hmm, hiring private
investigators to stalk people?
107
00:05:52,251 --> 00:05:55,288
Now that I think about it,
that sounds about right because
108
00:05:55,354 --> 00:05:58,858
you crave nothing more than
control.
109
00:05:58,925 --> 00:06:00,827
Does Amanda know you're stalking
your ex?
110
00:06:00,893 --> 00:06:02,128
Because I'm sure she wouldn't
like that.
111
00:06:02,195 --> 00:06:03,396
>> Devon: Do you hear how you
sound right now?
112
00:06:03,463 --> 00:06:05,698
>> Nate: That's not an answer.
>> Devon: It doesn't deserve an
113
00:06:05,765 --> 00:06:08,634
answer.
It's as ridiculous as you are.
114
00:06:08,701 --> 00:06:11,704
You're clearly mad at the world,
Nate, and it's affecting every
115
00:06:11,771 --> 00:06:13,706
part of your life.
You've alienated your family,
116
00:06:13,773 --> 00:06:15,708
you're on the verge of losing
your girlfriend, and it's all
117
00:06:15,775 --> 00:06:18,678
because of decisions that you
chose to make all by yourself,
118
00:06:18,745 --> 00:06:21,347
on your own.
And yet you have the nerve to
119
00:06:21,414 --> 00:06:24,016
stand here in front of me and
talk like you're a victim.
120

[ Door closes ]
>> Sally: Hey.
121
00:06:30,123 --> 00:06:33,526
>> Nick: Hey.
>> Sally: I was just going over
122
00:06:33,593 --> 00:06:36,195
the contracts for the licensing
deal.
123
00:06:36,262 --> 00:06:40,199
>> Nick: Cool.
I'm not here to check up on you,
124
00:06:40,266 --> 00:06:41,934
just so you know.
>> Sally: I know.
125
00:06:42,001 --> 00:06:45,872
I didn't think you were.
>> Nate: Unless there's
126
00:06:45,938 --> 00:06:49,075
something I need to know about
the contracts.
127
00:06:49,142 --> 00:06:53,012
>> Sally: There's not.
>> Nick: Alright.
128
00:06:53,079 --> 00:06:54,781
See ya.
>> Sally: Oh, wait.
129
00:06:54,847 --> 00:07:00,253
Actually, um, there is
something, but it's not about
130
00:07:00,319 --> 00:07:04,524
the deal.
It's about your daughter.
131
00:07:04,590 --> 00:07:07,593
Summer came by to see me
earlier.
132
00:07:07,660 --> 00:07:11,998
>> Nick: Yeah.
I, uh -- I saw her at Society.
133
00:07:12,064 --> 00:07:15,301
She's had a busy day.
>> Sally: I'm guessing we had
134
00:07:15,368 --> 00:07:18,204
similar conversations?
>> Nick: Probably.
135
00:07:18,271 --> 00:07:23,743
>> Sally: According to her,
you deserve better than me.
136
00:07:23,810 --> 00:07:28,214
>> Nick: [ Sighs ]
I'm sorry about that.
137
00:07:28,281 --> 00:07:33,653
>> Sally: It's understandable.
And actually kind of sweet the
138
00:07:33,719 --> 00:07:36,622
way she's so protective of you.
>> Nick: Eh, that's not cool.
139
00:07:36,689 --> 00:07:38,491
She crossed the line.
>> Sally: Okay.
140
00:07:38,558 --> 00:07:41,093
But there was definitely part
of me that was tempted to let
141
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:44,597
her have it.
But I took the high road, and
142
00:07:44,664 --> 00:07:51,370
I told her that we were just...
friends.
143
00:07:51,437 --> 00:07:55,775
>> Nick: Yup.
That's what I told her, too.
144
00:07:55,842 --> 00:08:00,012
>> Sally: [ Chuckles ]
>> Lily: Look, I understand and
145
00:08:00,079 --> 00:08:03,983
I respect your reasons for
wanting to stay on, but you have
146
00:08:04,050 --> 00:08:06,385
been wanting to leave
Chancellor-Winters for a while,
147
00:08:06,452 --> 00:08:09,021
and I don't want to hold you
back from what's coming next for
148
00:08:09,088 --> 00:08:10,389
you.
>> Billy: You're not.
149
00:08:10,456 --> 00:08:12,825
But I am a little bit worried
about the optics, what people
150
00:08:12,892 --> 00:08:15,394
are gonna think if I walk away
in the middle of all this.
151
00:08:15,461 --> 00:08:17,997
>> Lily: Look, it's fine.
We don't have to make a formal
152
00:08:18,064 --> 00:08:22,301
announcement about it, you know?
You can just step away and --
153
00:08:22,368 --> 00:08:25,404
and move on, you know?
And in that way, there's no
154
00:08:25,471 --> 00:08:27,707
public concern of the stability
of the company.
155
00:08:27,773 --> 00:08:30,776
>> Billy: I just hate the
thought of leaving you to deal
156
00:08:30,843 --> 00:08:33,145
with this on your own.
>> Lily: Billy, this is what I
157
00:08:33,212 --> 00:08:36,515
want, okay?
And I want this for you.
158
00:08:36,582 --> 00:08:40,653
You deserve to find your path
the way that I found mine.
159
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:44,156
Besides, you're still coming
home to me, right?
160
00:08:44,223 --> 00:08:47,059
You're not leaving me.
>> Billy: No, I'm not, and
161
00:08:47,126 --> 00:08:49,996
coming home to you will be the
best part of my day every day.
162
00:08:50,062 --> 00:08:56,335
>> Lily: [ Chuckles ]
At some point, though, we will
163
00:08:56,402 --> 00:08:59,472
have to let Jill know that
you're stepping away eventually.
164
00:08:59,538 --> 00:09:02,541
>> Billy: Yeah, I know.
But it's best not to do that
165
00:09:02,608 --> 00:09:04,911
today.
I think we need to focus on
166
00:09:04,977 --> 00:09:07,780
putting this Nate-fueled IPO
fire out.
167
00:09:07,847 --> 00:09:10,950
I e-mailed my mom and told her
what happened.
168
00:09:11,017 --> 00:09:14,720
I have a feeling she's not gonna
take the news very well.
169
00:09:14,787 --> 00:09:17,323
>> Adam: I, uh, overheard you
and Sally talking when I came
170
00:09:17,390 --> 00:09:20,426
in, Connor.
Can I ask you why you told Mom
171
00:09:20,493 --> 00:09:23,162
you saw me inside?
I know she wouldn't want you to
172
00:09:23,229 --> 00:09:26,399
be here alone if she knew nobody
was waiting for you.
173
00:09:26,465 --> 00:09:29,302
>> Connor: It wasn't a big deal.
I'm old enough to wait alone.
174
00:09:29,368 --> 00:09:32,338
>> Adam: Yeah, I know you're not
a little kid anymore.
175
00:09:32,405 --> 00:09:34,573
But you know Mom, too.
She wouldn't want you to be here
176
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:37,476
by yourself, not because she
doesn't think you can handle it,
177
00:09:37,543 --> 00:09:40,279
but because moms are super
protective like that.
178
00:09:40,346 --> 00:09:42,214
We just want to make sure that
you're safe.
179
00:09:42,281 --> 00:09:44,850
Both your mom and I -- we love
you more than anything in this
180
00:09:44,917 --> 00:09:49,121
world.
>> Connor: You're wrong.
181
00:09:49,188 --> 00:09:51,557
>> Adam: What do you mean?
>> Connor: Mom doesn't love me
182
00:09:51,624 --> 00:09:53,793
as much as she used to.
If she did, she wouldn't be
183
00:09:53,859 --> 00:09:55,861
acting the way she is.
184
00:10:02,969 --> 00:10:05,604
>> Adam: Why would you think Mom
loves you any less?
185
00:10:05,671 --> 00:10:08,841
How is she acting?
>> Connor: She always seems sad
186
00:10:08,908 --> 00:10:10,843
now.
Or she's trying to prove she's
187
00:10:10,910 --> 00:10:13,612
not sad.
>> Adam: [ Sighs ]
188
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:17,616
Hey, it has nothing to do with
you.
189
00:10:17,683 --> 00:10:19,652
>> Connor: It feels like it
does.
190
00:10:19,719 --> 00:10:25,424
She feels far away.
Why is it so hard for her to
191
00:10:25,491 --> 00:10:28,928
just love me?
>> Adam: Listen.
192
00:10:28,995 --> 00:10:34,300
I-I promise you that you are
Mom's heart and soul.
193
00:10:34,367 --> 00:10:36,902
She's just going through a rough
time right now.
194
00:10:36,969 --> 00:10:39,505
And I know it can be hard to be
on the other side of that.
195
00:10:39,572 --> 00:10:43,142
And I am so sorry that you are
feeling what you're feeling.
196
00:10:43,209 --> 00:10:45,778
>> Connor: I don't know how to
make it better.
197
00:10:45,845 --> 00:10:49,715
>> Adam: It's not your job to do
that.
198
00:10:49,782 --> 00:10:53,252
>> Connor: This has to do with
Johnny, right?
199
00:10:53,319 --> 00:10:57,456
She's been like this since she
told him he's my brother.
200
00:10:57,523 --> 00:11:01,694
>> Adam: It's -- It's a little
complicated, and it's probably
201
00:11:01,761 --> 00:11:03,863
gonna take some time for us to
get used to the new family
202
00:11:03,929 --> 00:11:06,432
dynamic.
>> Connor: Mom wants us to be
203
00:11:06,499 --> 00:11:09,001
one big family, but we already
are family.
204
00:11:09,068 --> 00:11:10,970
We don't need Johnny.
>> Adam: You're right.
205
00:11:11,037 --> 00:11:14,240
We are a family, Connor.
And your mother knows that, too.
206
00:11:14,306 --> 00:11:17,777
>> Connor: No, she doesn't.
Johnny has his own family.
207
00:11:17,843 --> 00:11:20,613
If she misses him so much, she
never should have given him up
208
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:27,186
in the first place.
>> Sally: One thing you should
209
00:11:27,253 --> 00:11:32,591
know -- I saw Adam, too, and he
looked like he had had a long
210
00:11:32,658 --> 00:11:35,594
night with a bottle or two of
champagne.
211
00:11:35,661 --> 00:11:38,664
>> Nick: Yeah.
I saw him on the rooftop this
212
00:11:38,731 --> 00:11:40,766
morning.
>> Sally: You went looking for
213
00:11:40,833 --> 00:11:42,401
him?
>> Nick: Yeah.
214
00:11:42,468 --> 00:11:45,571
I wasn't looking for trouble.
I just wanted to talk to him.
215
00:11:45,638 --> 00:11:50,276
>> Sally: How did that go?
>> Nick: He was, uh, pissed off
216
00:11:50,342 --> 00:11:55,081
and hungover.
But beneath the anger and all
217
00:11:55,147 --> 00:11:59,051
the drinking, obviously he's in
a lot of pain.
218
00:11:59,118 --> 00:12:03,622
He, uh, brought up the two of us
spending time together.
219
00:12:03,689 --> 00:12:08,294
It's taken a toll on him.
>> Sally: Yeah, I got that
220
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:14,133
sense, too.
I'm sorry about that, but it
221
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:18,537
doesn't change anything.
>> Nick: It's clearly taking a
222
00:12:18,604 --> 00:12:24,777
toll on you, as well.
>> Nate: This isn't about Elena
223
00:12:24,844 --> 00:12:27,913
or me.
This is about you and the way
224
00:12:27,980 --> 00:12:29,582
you need to keep everyone under
your thumb.
225
00:12:29,648 --> 00:12:31,484
>> Devon: Hmm.
>> Nate: The second you lose a
226
00:12:31,550 --> 00:12:33,986
little control, you get all
anxious and aggressive.
227
00:12:34,053 --> 00:12:37,556
You think you have the right to
drastically change everyone
228
00:12:37,623 --> 00:12:40,192
else's life, but nobody could
ever have a say in yours.
229
00:12:40,259 --> 00:12:41,627
>> Devon: And who's everyone,
Nate?
230
00:12:41,694 --> 00:12:43,796
'Cause the only person whose
life I tried to change for the
231
00:12:43,863 --> 00:12:46,132
better was yours by bringing you
into Chancellor-Winters.
232
00:12:46,198 --> 00:12:50,102
>> Nate: After you took away my
old life.
233
00:12:50,169 --> 00:12:51,203
>> Devon: Okay.
>> Nate: Mm.
234
00:12:51,270 --> 00:12:53,372
>> Devon: So we're back to this?
>> Nate: Yeah.
235
00:12:53,439 --> 00:12:54,907
>> Devon: You haven't forgiven
me for your hand.
236
00:12:54,974 --> 00:12:57,209
>> Nate: That's right.
I probably never will forgive
237
00:12:57,276 --> 00:12:59,078
you for what happened to my
hand.
238
00:12:59,145 --> 00:13:02,548
You can't understand that
because it didn't happen to you.
239
00:13:02,615 --> 00:13:05,217
>> Devon: Well, hey, you know
what did happen to me?
240
00:13:05,284 --> 00:13:07,786
You had sex with my girlfriend.
>> Nate: And in return, you took
241
00:13:07,853 --> 00:13:13,125
away my career, my purpose, my
passion, and my drive.
242
00:13:13,192 --> 00:13:16,862
You dragged me to a place of
uncertainty and depression.
243
00:13:16,929 --> 00:13:21,967
Yet and still, I wanted to
forgive you.
244
00:13:22,034 --> 00:13:26,038
I tried so hard to let go of all
that pain and anger.
245
00:13:26,105 --> 00:13:28,741
And -- And for a while, I
thought it was working.
246
00:13:28,807 --> 00:13:31,510
I was with the woman I love.
>> Devon: [ Chuckles ]
247
00:13:31,577 --> 00:13:33,746
>> Nate: And you built a life
with Amanda.
248
00:13:33,812 --> 00:13:36,815
I figured holding on to all that
resentment wasn't serving
249
00:13:36,882 --> 00:13:38,150
anyone.
>> Devon: Yeah, but you clearly
250
00:13:38,217 --> 00:13:39,652
didn't.
You just let it grow.
251
00:13:39,718 --> 00:13:42,955
>> Nate: No. No.
Actually, it came back because
252
00:13:43,022 --> 00:13:45,457
of you.
Being offered a place at
253
00:13:45,524 --> 00:13:49,528
Chancellor-Winters reinvigorated
my hope and solidified my
254
00:13:49,595 --> 00:13:52,698
resolve to finally forgive
and move on.
255
00:13:52,765 --> 00:13:56,535
I wanted to give that COO job
everything I had.
256
00:13:56,602 --> 00:13:59,572
I wanted to put all my lost
passion into something new
257
00:13:59,638 --> 00:14:04,944
and exciting.
But what did you do?
258
00:14:05,010 --> 00:14:10,115
Stopped me at every turn.
Wouldn't allow me to do my job.
259
00:14:10,182 --> 00:14:13,986
This isn't just about me.
There's something deep going on
260
00:14:14,053 --> 00:14:18,691
inside you, maybe something you
won't let yourself admit or --
261
00:14:18,757 --> 00:14:26,365
or haven't realized.
>> Devon: [ Scoffs ]
262
00:14:26,432 --> 00:14:28,867
>> Billy: I am not looking
forward to this.
263
00:14:28,934 --> 00:14:33,606
>> Lily: No, it is not gonna be
pleasant, but we'll get through
264
00:14:33,672 --> 00:14:38,110
it.
>> Billy: Yes, we will.
265
00:14:38,177 --> 00:14:40,079
>> Lily: Hi, Jill.
>> Billy: Hey, Mom.
266
00:14:40,145 --> 00:14:42,314
>> Jill: Don't you "Hi, Mom"
me, Billy.
267
00:14:42,381 --> 00:14:44,883
I am not in the mood for polite
conversation.
268
00:14:44,950 --> 00:14:48,454
I want to know how in the hell
you let this thing happen with
269
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:52,658
Nate right under your noses.
>> Lily: It was a very
270
00:14:52,725 --> 00:14:56,228
unfortunate turn of events and
something I would have never
271
00:14:56,295 --> 00:14:58,430
suspected from Nate.
>> Jill: You didn't know how
272
00:14:58,497 --> 00:15:00,266
sneaky and conniving your cousin
was?
273
00:15:00,332 --> 00:15:02,201
>> Billy: Okay, that is below
the belt.
274
00:15:02,268 --> 00:15:05,838
>> Jill: You know, when I agreed
to your idea of merging
275
00:15:05,904 --> 00:15:10,309
Chancellor and Hamilton-Winters
to create a family company, I
276
00:15:10,376 --> 00:15:14,947
never dreamed that your family
would be the downfall of your
277
00:15:15,014 --> 00:15:19,451
legacy, Lily.
>> Lily: Nate will not lead to
278
00:15:19,518 --> 00:15:22,821
my downfall or the company's.
>> Jill: Oh, I hope you're
279
00:15:22,888 --> 00:15:26,959
right.
You know, your determination was
280
00:15:27,026 --> 00:15:30,195
part of the reason why I put you
in charge.
281
00:15:30,262 --> 00:15:34,099
I have to admit that I'm kicking
myself, too.
282
00:15:34,166 --> 00:15:39,538
I think I have pretty good
instincts with people.
283
00:15:39,605 --> 00:15:43,676
But I never saw Nate as a
threat.
284
00:15:43,742 --> 00:15:48,347
Although I have an excuse.
I did not work with the man in
285
00:15:48,414 --> 00:15:51,817
the office day in and day out.
You two did.
286
00:15:51,884 --> 00:15:56,021
So, again, I will ask you.
How in the hell did you let this
287
00:15:56,088 --> 00:15:57,756
happen?
288
00:16:07,933 --> 00:16:10,969
>> Billy: I can assure you that
Lily is not sleeping on the job
289
00:16:11,036 --> 00:16:14,406
in any way, shape, or form, if
that's what you're implying.
290
00:16:14,473 --> 00:16:18,410
Yes, there has been some tension
between Devon and Nate, but Lily
291
00:16:18,477 --> 00:16:22,614
has done everything she can to
keep the peace, both balancing
292
00:16:22,681 --> 00:16:26,385
this company and her family.
>> Jill: Well, whatever approach
293
00:16:26,452 --> 00:16:29,521
she's been taking obviously
hasn't been working, has it?
294
00:16:29,588 --> 00:16:31,924
>> Billy: Well, it's like you
said -- you haven't been around
295
00:16:31,990 --> 00:16:34,159
to witness any of it, right?
So you're gonna to trust our
296
00:16:34,226 --> 00:16:36,628
account of things.
>> Lily: Billy, I appreciate you
297
00:16:36,695 --> 00:16:42,568
coming to my defense, but I am
the CEO of Chancellor-Winters,
298
00:16:42,634 --> 00:16:49,875
and there are no excuses.
>> Adam: Giving up Johnny --
299
00:16:49,942 --> 00:16:55,814
it was -- it was a hard decision
for your mother to make.
300
00:16:55,881 --> 00:16:59,051
It was all about trying to do
what's best for him.
301
00:16:59,118 --> 00:17:04,156
And your mother -- she wasn't in
a place where she could give him
302
00:17:04,223 --> 00:17:05,891
the kind of life that she
wanted.
303
00:17:05,958 --> 00:17:11,263
So she stepped back and she let
Aunt Victoria be the mother that
304
00:17:11,330 --> 00:17:13,232
Johnny needed.
>> Connor: It doesn't make
305
00:17:13,298 --> 00:17:15,734
sense.
Either you love someone enough
306
00:17:15,801 --> 00:17:18,070
to take care of them or you
don't.
307
00:17:18,137 --> 00:17:20,439
>> Adam: It's just...
It's not always that simple,
308
00:17:20,506 --> 00:17:22,775
Connor.
>> Connor: Why didn't she just
309
00:17:22,841 --> 00:17:27,713
give me to Aunt Victoria, too?
>> Adam: [ Sighs ]
310
00:17:27,780 --> 00:17:31,049
Y-Your mother, she worked really
hard to provide for you in the
311
00:17:31,116 --> 00:17:33,585
right way.
And unfortunately, she was not
312
00:17:33,652 --> 00:17:36,755
in the position to do that for
Johnny when he was born.
313
00:17:36,822 --> 00:17:39,525
And not to mention, I would
never allow you to be raised by
314
00:17:39,591 --> 00:17:42,094
somebody else if I was in a
position to take care of you.
315
00:17:42,161 --> 00:17:45,063
>> Connor: So, it was because of
you.
316
00:17:45,130 --> 00:17:50,035
>> Adam: No. No.
We both wanted to raise you.
317
00:17:50,102 --> 00:17:55,507
We were overjoyed when you came
into our lives, Connor, okay?
318
00:17:55,574 --> 00:18:00,779
I know this news is a big shock.
There's a lot of changing in the
319
00:18:00,846 --> 00:18:04,149
family history that's hard to
get your head around.
320
00:18:04,216 --> 00:18:08,587
I mean, I had the same kind of
thing happen when I found out
321
00:18:08,654 --> 00:18:14,827
your grandpa was my father.
So I know how jarring it can be.
322
00:18:14,893 --> 00:18:17,095
But the one thing that will
never change is how much your
323
00:18:17,162 --> 00:18:23,702
mom and I love you, okay?
I'm your father, and I'm always
324
00:18:23,769 --> 00:18:29,741
gonna be here for you.
You can talk to me as often as
325
00:18:29,808 --> 00:18:33,412
you want, anytime.
Okay?
326
00:18:33,479 --> 00:18:35,914
If there's one thing that I've
learned, it's secrets can cause
327
00:18:35,981 --> 00:18:38,317
harm to people.
And that's why your mother
328
00:18:38,383 --> 00:18:40,219
decided to tell you and
Johnny -- because she did not
329
00:18:40,285 --> 00:18:44,490
want this secret to harm you
down the road.
330
00:18:44,556 --> 00:18:49,361
You understand?
>> Connor: Okay.
331
00:18:49,428 --> 00:18:53,365
>> Sally: [ Sighs ]
Maybe you're right that this
332
00:18:53,432 --> 00:18:57,536
is taking a toll on me.
But on top of Adam's latest
333
00:18:57,603 --> 00:19:02,875
stunt, in the aftermath, I ran
into Connor at the coffeehouse.
334
00:19:02,941 --> 00:19:04,943
>> Nick: You mean Connor and
Adam.
335
00:19:05,010 --> 00:19:07,246
>> Sally: No.
Connor was by himself.
336
00:19:07,312 --> 00:19:11,283
Chelsea and Adam had a
misunderstanding, sort of.
337
00:19:11,350 --> 00:19:15,587
So I just kept Connor company
until Adam showed up.
338
00:19:15,654 --> 00:19:17,556
>> Nick: There's a lot going on
with the family right now.
339
00:19:17,623 --> 00:19:21,093
It's probably hard for him to
process it all.
340
00:19:21,159 --> 00:19:23,495
>> Sally: Yeah, but Adam being
late definitely didn't help.
341
00:19:23,562 --> 00:19:26,231
Connor deserves two loving,
stable parents, and I can't help
342
00:19:26,298 --> 00:19:30,035
but feel partially responsible
if Adam is falling short in
343
00:19:30,102 --> 00:19:32,671
some way.
>> Nick: You know, I love my
344
00:19:32,738 --> 00:19:34,506
nephew.
He is a great kid, and I'm sorry
345
00:19:34,573 --> 00:19:37,943
he's going through that.
But, Sally, you are not
346
00:19:38,010 --> 00:19:40,879
responsible for Adam's behavior,
alright?
347
00:19:40,946 --> 00:19:43,982
Whether he's a good dad or not
is completely up to him.
348
00:19:44,049 --> 00:19:46,685
>> Sally: But he doesn't live
in a vacuum.
349
00:19:46,752 --> 00:19:52,224
On some level, I do feel like I
am partially to blame, and I
350
00:19:52,291 --> 00:19:57,195
know that Connor thinks so, too.
>> Nick: Why would you say that?
351
00:19:57,262 --> 00:20:02,668
>> Sally: Because he told me.
>> Devon: I'll tell you what I'm
352
00:20:02,734 --> 00:20:05,237
not gonna do, and that's stand
here and let you make this about
353
00:20:05,304 --> 00:20:08,006
me -- 'cause from day one, you
have never been able to admit
354
00:20:08,073 --> 00:20:10,375
the fact or accept the fact that
you're a novice at
355
00:20:10,442 --> 00:20:12,110
Chancellor-Winters and you don't
have any experience.
356
00:20:12,177 --> 00:20:15,314
>> Nate: Don't act like I was a
nepotism hire, not when I had
357
00:20:15,380 --> 00:20:19,251
other executive job offers.
>> Devon: From who?
358
00:20:19,318 --> 00:20:22,254
Don't walk away from me.
Who? Who are you talking about?
359
00:20:22,321 --> 00:20:25,724
Ashland Locke?
You think the guy that was using
360
00:20:25,791 --> 00:20:27,659
you to help scam people into
believing he had cancer was
361
00:20:27,726 --> 00:20:29,661
excited about hiring you because
of, what, your impressive
362
00:20:29,728 --> 00:20:30,862
résumé?
>> Nate: Wow.
363
00:20:30,929 --> 00:20:32,664
You want to take the gloves off?
Let's take the gloves off.
364
00:20:32,731 --> 00:20:34,833
>> Devon: Sure.
>> Nate: Would you even be CEO
365
00:20:34,900 --> 00:20:37,836
if you hadn't inherited a
billion dollars to launch a
366
00:20:37,903 --> 00:20:39,972
company?
Talk about starting on the
367
00:20:40,038 --> 00:20:41,239
mountaintop.
>> Devon: And do you know how
368
00:20:41,306 --> 00:20:44,543
many companies I worked for
before I got that inheritance?
369
00:20:44,610 --> 00:20:48,580
I didn't think you did.
I had a track record back then.
370
00:20:48,647 --> 00:20:50,649
You don't have one now.
And you know something?
371
00:20:50,716 --> 00:20:53,619
That's on me for handing you a
COO job with that being the
372
00:20:53,685 --> 00:20:54,953
case.
That's my one mistake.
373
00:20:55,020 --> 00:20:57,356
>> Nate: Your one mistake? Sure.
Keep telling yourself that.
374
00:20:57,422 --> 00:20:59,458
>> Devon: You know what?
You're right. Two mistakes.
375
00:20:59,524 --> 00:21:02,094
My second one was assuming that
you were gonna approach a
376
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:04,196
high-level job like this with
some humility and maybe some
377
00:21:04,262 --> 00:21:06,164
intelligence even.
>> Nate: What did you want me to
378
00:21:06,231 --> 00:21:07,199
do?
Call you sir, huh?
379
00:21:07,265 --> 00:21:09,134
>> Devon: Come on.
>> Nate: Bow down to you like
380
00:21:09,201 --> 00:21:10,369
you were royalty?
>> Devon: Nate --
381
00:21:10,435 --> 00:21:11,970
>> Nate: Would that have shown
appropriate deference?
382
00:21:12,037 --> 00:21:13,572
>> Devon: Don't be dumb, man.
Don't be dumb.
383
00:21:13,639 --> 00:21:15,941
You know damn well the only
thing I ever wanted from you was
384
00:21:16,008 --> 00:21:18,677
to respect my final word.
And you couldn't do that.
385
00:21:18,744 --> 00:21:21,947
You were too arrogant to see you
weren't qualified or to realize
386
00:21:22,014 --> 00:21:24,383
that when you make a big career
change -- I don't know -- maybe
387
00:21:24,449 --> 00:21:27,019
you got to take a step back for
a second and learn the ropes.
388
00:21:27,085 --> 00:21:28,787
Wait for your time.
>> Nate: The time was never
389
00:21:28,854 --> 00:21:30,122
gonna come.
>> Devon: You made sure of that,
390
00:21:30,188 --> 00:21:33,392
didn't you?
You thought you knew what was
391
00:21:33,458 --> 00:21:35,594
best and you were the only
person to lead the company in
392
00:21:35,661 --> 00:21:37,496
the right direction.
So, what did you do?
393
00:21:37,562 --> 00:21:40,565
You set out to essentially
destroy the family legacy that
394
00:21:40,632 --> 00:21:42,167
we've been building to leave
behind.
395
00:21:42,234 --> 00:21:44,403
That's what you did.
And honestly, I don't know how
396
00:21:44,469 --> 00:21:47,572
you brought yourself to do it.
And you know what hurts more
397
00:21:47,639 --> 00:21:51,877
than anything, Nate?
This company is what I built
398
00:21:51,943 --> 00:21:54,913
with Neil, okay?
It's what he and I shared
399
00:21:54,980 --> 00:21:56,782
together before he left this
planet.
400
00:21:56,848 --> 00:21:59,051
And you want to talk about what
I took from you?
401
00:21:59,117 --> 00:22:01,119
That's what you tried to take
from me.
402
00:22:11,263 --> 00:22:12,931
>> "The Young and the Restless"
will continue.
403
00:22:32,117 --> 00:22:33,752
>> Nate: None of this would have
gone so far if you would have
404
00:22:33,819 --> 00:22:36,588
just been open to hearing my
ideas, if you would have just
405
00:22:36,655 --> 00:22:37,856
loosened up your grip on the
reins.
406
00:22:37,923 --> 00:22:40,258
>> Devon: Nate, if I would have
loosened up my grip on the
407
00:22:40,325 --> 00:22:42,627
reins, you would have run the
business that Neil and I built
408
00:22:42,694 --> 00:22:44,496
into the ground.
>> Nate: It's not yours and
409
00:22:44,563 --> 00:22:47,232
Neil's business anymore.
It's yours and Jill's.
410
00:22:47,299 --> 00:22:50,001
And Lily is Jill's CEO.
>> Devon: Oh, so you do
411
00:22:50,068 --> 00:22:52,838
understand hierarchy.
I thought you might.
412
00:22:52,904 --> 00:22:55,640
And let me break this down for
you so you understand it, okay?
413
00:22:55,707 --> 00:22:59,411
Half the company is called
Winters, as in Neil Winters.
414
00:22:59,478 --> 00:23:02,080
So a part of it is always gonna
be his.
415
00:23:02,147 --> 00:23:04,816
And I had the privilege of
learning from him firsthand.
416
00:23:04,883 --> 00:23:07,486
I got to see his example, and he
set a standard of
417
00:23:07,552 --> 00:23:09,554
professionalism that you would
never understand.
418
00:23:09,621 --> 00:23:11,923
And we had a partnership that
someone like you can never even
419
00:23:11,990 --> 00:23:15,660
aspire to have.
>> Nate: Wow.
420
00:23:15,727 --> 00:23:18,096
So, is that what this is all
about?
421
00:23:18,163 --> 00:23:23,502
That nobody can ever live up to
Neil?
422
00:23:23,568 --> 00:23:25,504
You can't get past your
partnership you had with your
423
00:23:25,570 --> 00:23:31,209
father.
>> Jill: Nate showed his hand
424
00:23:31,276 --> 00:23:33,712
when he got upset on the call
with you.
425
00:23:33,779 --> 00:23:36,648
But we just assumed that it was
a personal dispute between him
426
00:23:36,715 --> 00:23:39,184
and Devon and that it wouldn't
bleed over into business.
427
00:23:39,251 --> 00:23:41,653
>> Jill: Except it did.
>> Billy: Yeah, we know that
428
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:44,189
now.
>> Lily: Yes, and he apologized,
429
00:23:44,256 --> 00:23:46,792
and we gave him another chance
because his apology seemed
430
00:23:46,858 --> 00:23:52,364
sincere.
>> Jill: Because he's family.
431
00:23:52,430 --> 00:23:55,433
>> Lily: I guess so.
And that's my mistake, and I
432
00:23:55,500 --> 00:24:00,472
take full responsibility for it.
But let me just say this.
433
00:24:00,539 --> 00:24:05,811
The IPO hasn't happened, right?
And Nate has been fired.
434
00:24:05,877 --> 00:24:08,246
So the risk of him selling
shares to whoever he was
435
00:24:08,313 --> 00:24:11,416
colluding with is done.
They'll no longer be able to
436
00:24:11,483 --> 00:24:13,752
have majority share of the
company.
437
00:24:13,819 --> 00:24:18,123
So no permanent damage has been
done...yet.
438
00:24:22,727 --> 00:24:27,232
>> Sally: Connor brought up how
much Adam used to smile when we
439
00:24:27,299 --> 00:24:29,701
were together.
And when I first showed up at
440
00:24:29,768 --> 00:24:31,903
Crimson Lights, he thought maybe
I was there to pick him up,
441
00:24:31,970 --> 00:24:36,775
Adam and I had reunited, and he
was just hoping that it might
442
00:24:36,842 --> 00:24:41,780
get his dad smiling again.
>> Nick: Sorry.
443
00:24:41,847 --> 00:24:45,350
Uh, kids tend to make sense of
things the only way they know
444
00:24:45,417 --> 00:24:48,353
how, and it's not always
accurate.
445
00:24:48,420 --> 00:24:51,122
You know, a lot's happened since
you and Adam got together, and
446
00:24:51,189 --> 00:24:54,125
then you broke up.
With the family and the
447
00:24:54,192 --> 00:24:57,262
business, it's not necessarily
about you.
448
00:24:57,329 --> 00:25:00,265
>> Sally: Yeah, I'm -- I'm sure
you're right.
449
00:25:00,332 --> 00:25:04,870
But I just have to assume that
Adam getting drunk last night
450
00:25:04,936 --> 00:25:12,777
was because I rejected him.
But I just -- I can't -- I just
451
00:25:12,844 --> 00:25:15,247
can't ignore the impact that
I've had on him and, as a
452
00:25:15,313 --> 00:25:24,289
result, Connor.
>> Nick: Sally, I -- I really
453
00:25:24,356 --> 00:25:26,791
think you're taking this logic
too far.
454
00:25:26,858 --> 00:25:32,530
Adam's a grown man.
>> Sally: I'm aware.
455
00:25:32,597 --> 00:25:37,769
And I know that he's not my
responsibility.
456
00:25:37,836 --> 00:25:42,908
But I just really hate to watch
him suffer, especially when my
457
00:25:42,974 --> 00:25:46,811
life and my career is going so
well.
458
00:25:49,781 --> 00:25:53,952
>> Connor: Mom is different now.
She'd probably be happier if she
459
00:25:54,019 --> 00:25:56,021
had kept Johnny.
>> Adam: Mnh, no, that is not
460
00:25:56,087 --> 00:25:58,723
true, Connor.
>> Connor: It's like I'm not
461
00:25:58,790 --> 00:26:02,060
enough anymore.
If she can't have Johnny around,
462
00:26:02,127 --> 00:26:05,096
she doesn't want anybody.
>> Adam: Connor, that is not
463
00:26:05,163 --> 00:26:07,966
true.
>> Chelsea: Hey, guys.
464
00:26:08,033 --> 00:26:11,670
I realized you were gonna need
this, or else you can't do your
465
00:26:11,736 --> 00:26:14,372
homework.
Maybe that's what you were
466
00:26:14,439 --> 00:26:23,982
hoping for, huh?
Um...Connor, why don't you, uh,
467
00:26:24,049 --> 00:26:27,252
go pick out a pastry so I can
talk to your dad for a minute?
468
00:26:27,319 --> 00:26:37,362
>> Adam: It's okay.
How much did you overhear?
469
00:26:37,429 --> 00:26:41,466
>> Chelsea: Uh, just that my son
doesn't think he's good enough
470
00:26:41,533 --> 00:26:51,576
for me [sighs] which I will fix.
I -- I'm -- I'm gonna fix that.
471
00:26:51,643 --> 00:26:54,179
I'm gonna make this right.
>> Adam: I don't think that's
472
00:26:54,245 --> 00:26:57,882
gonna be as easy as it sounds.
>> Chelsea: I know you're
473
00:26:57,949 --> 00:27:01,953
furious and that you probably
blame me.
474
00:27:13,498 --> 00:27:15,066
>> Adam: Look, blame is not
going to help anybody right now,
475
00:27:15,133 --> 00:27:18,536
but Connor is upset.
He's trying to process things a
476
00:27:18,603 --> 00:27:21,072
kid his age doesn't know how to
make sense of.
477

all my fault.

In fact, finding a way to move

that.

It's not doing anyone any good

to why he's really back in
Genoa City.
577
00:34:33,337 --> 00:34:39,010
He says that it's to reconnect
with Devon or meet Dominic and
578
00:34:39,076 --> 00:34:42,914
maybe make amends with Ashley,
but we're not really buying it.

man.

So, you know, even if he's not
582
00:34:52,657 --> 00:34:55,293
the CEO that Nate has been
conspiring with, that means that
583
00:34:55,359 --> 00:34:57,528
there's still someone else out
there looking for another way
584
00:34:57,595 --> 00:34:59,397

So, there are sharks in the
585

water.
And whether that's Tucker alone,
586
00:35:02,266 --> 00:35:06,571
Tucker with other people, or
someone else entirely, I want to
587
00:35:06,637 --> 00:35:08,973
make sure that we're not caught
with our eyes closed again.
588
00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:12,777
>> Jill: My priorities haven't
changed.
589
00:35:12,844 --> 00:35:15,413
You were correct when you said
that with Nate out, there is no
590
00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:19,116
one on the team who would sell
their shares, giving an outsider
591
00:35:19,183 --> 00:35:25,356
a majority control.
So I have every intention of
592
00:35:25,423 --> 00:35:28,893
moving forward with the IPO,
and I certainly hope that you
593
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:32,530
and Devon are on board.
And now that we know that
594
00:35:32,597 --> 00:35:36,367
there's a business predator out
there, we just have to figure
595
00:35:36,434 --> 00:35:41,506
out who that is.

But if it does ring true in any
way, I can understand.
601
00:35:54,952 --> 00:35:57,488

>> Devon: Okay, we're done,
