00:00are we speculating anything in particular you're discussing well if you must know we were just
00:21wondering what's going on with victor and kane oh well they haven't gone a while i wonder
00:26victor needs any assistance he can hold his own i'm not worried you hear something
00:34sounds like voices you're getting closer yeah could be victor and kane i don't think so
00:43uh would anybody really be joining the party this late keep going what the hell with a maze
00:49definitely not victor and kane midnight oh well looks like he started the party without us
00:56did we miss anything oh boy did you ever
01:04louie don't do this to yourself all right after everything that kane has done why would you want
01:13to stick around and spend more time because i need answers to pun he's lied to you he's pretended to
01:21be this aristotle dumas person for years now and then he lured us here in big reveal what's there
01:26left to talk about exactly that my ex-husband lived a double for the past six years and i had no idea
01:32he told maddie and charlie that he was running several businesses i mean he lied to the kids yeah
01:38he it's not the first time he's lied to them or you i know that which is why i should have been
01:43suspicious and i knew something was off i knew it as he was back in touch with colin lily you couldn't
01:50have known what was going on you couldn't have known no this isn't on you he needs to be held
01:55accountable for what he's done yes but i knew who colin was i knew that it was a bad idea and that's
02:01why i told kane to limit his access to the twins but yet he just kept living this lie and i just need
02:07to know how and why he decided to do this hey but do you really need to figure that out from here
02:14yes i want to hear answers directly from kane and i feel like if i leave i'll never get the truth
02:20okay well do you have any sense of his real motivation no i don't but i mean if he amassed
02:28this kind of wealth in just a few years the tactics couldn't have been legit and that's your big problem
02:35here of course it is i have to know if i have to protect the twins no you don't having any contact
02:42with this guy is a mistake like what could you possibly learn from kane that you're going to
02:47believe after this lie that he's told everyone how could you trust anything he'd say
02:52so
02:59so
03:06so
03:08so
03:18so
03:20so
03:33so after dumai insisted that we come after all thank yous come after all lauren bought the tickets
03:40and we ran into these two on the plane then there was a car waiting for us that brought us all here
03:45from the airport we didn't think much of it yeah well the explanation for that was
03:51that mr dumas private train is stationed nearby and will be used as his guest quarters the private
03:59train part that part's real oh dominic's gonna be jealous sleeping on a train wait i don't get it
04:05is there actually a chateau it exists but it's off limits apparently no one's allowed in what's up with
04:11that your dose is as good as ours well before he would let us go to our rooms he led us to
04:20the entrance of this maze and he told us to follow the voices to find our way yeah on our own in the
04:27dark i'm sure there were rats thank god for chance he was completely unfazed combing the pressure
04:34so where is our host is he here your husband seems to be missing as well mine too
04:43huh by the looks on your faces i'm assuming there's news
04:51perhaps a revelation as to why we're all here not sure you're gonna believe it
04:56what happened wait it's not tucker is it he's not the one behind all of this tucker brace yourselves
05:06aristotle dumas is kane ashby
05:18it's been a while since i've been turned down by anyone even the great victor newman
05:22let me make myself perfectly clear once again chancellor is not for sale
05:32you haven't heard my full offer yet you don't have all the information let's hear it
05:37i haven't gotten to where i am without knowing how to close a deal my offer is far more tempting than
05:41you think victor
05:45then put your cards on the table then stop wishing my time all right
05:57kane ashby
06:01how can that be i definitely didn't see this coming wait so kane pretended to be someone else
06:08and lure to solve here did he say why no but apparently there is more to come
06:14really yes he says he'll explain himself as our time here unfolds and why should we believe him
06:21he's told us so many lies already yeah where's kane now he's having a private conversation with victor
06:29victor's idea or kane's victor's and i assume that conversation is not going to end well and we
06:35could all be heading home as soon as victor's done with him well my dad deserves to know the truth
06:41really just your dad he'd be causing a problem right now we're all in this together we all deserve
06:46to know what the hell's going on kane seems more than ready to stir the pot kane can hold his own
06:52and what about lily has she seen him oh yeah releasing and how did she react and seeing him after all this
06:59time and finding out that he's been acting as jama i think she was in shock she went off with devon and
07:07damian she must be reeling there's no way she could have known he was behind this oh she was completely
07:13blindsided the only person who was not surprised about any of this was victor i don't expect to be
07:22swayed but i allow you to make your pitch thank you as you know there's an impressive portfolio of
07:30companies under the arabesque umbrella media real estate investments i remember it well i went after
07:37some of those companies yeah i know you wanted them badly you lost the bidding war
07:42how long they're years for the taking in exchange of course for chancellor
07:52why would you take such loss man everything you've built up just washed down the drain why
07:59it's the value of the companies goes well beyond that of chancellor so it's a good deal for you victor
08:04i don't get it
08:05built this enormous company i mean you have a very successful conglomerate jane ashby doesn't
08:13du ma does
08:16and now i'm ready to close the book on this chapter and return to a life of normalcy in genoa city
08:21oh really you just want to waltz back into genoa city after all the damage you've done to lily
08:27winters among others she happens to be the daughter of one of my best friends neil winters you know
08:32yeah i don't like the idea of you coming back to town i regret what's happened are you just
08:38arrogantly forgetting what happened brushing it all under the carpet is that it now with this massive
08:45deception hanging over here who's gonna trust you i won't let my guard down with kane well that's good
08:55and i hope you don't expect them to be honest with you either well i have to at least talk to him he's not
09:00just gonna like open up to you and admit to how he's orchestrated this whole thing maybe he will
09:04maybe i'm the person who can get through to him lily he wants to influence you okay he wants to get
09:11you on his side and he's gonna do whatever it takes to make that happen all right he's gonna leave out
09:16all the sketchy stuff he's done and spin the story to how he sees fit right and you think i'm just gonna
09:21fall for it devon give your sister some credit i do give my sister credit all right but at one point
09:32he was the most important person in your life you guys have a very long complicated history together
09:37i know that devon i lived it and i've survived right and i'm sure it doesn't feel good to bring
09:42up unresolved feelings so what you think he's just gonna sway me he was the love of your life
09:48he was he was i don't have those feelings anymore okay that's great that you don't do you think he
09:53still has those feelings i don't know i don't even know who he is anymore i can't read his mind
09:58well he said that he wants to come back to genoa city and be back in our lives
10:02so don't you think part of that intention is to reconcile with you
10:04look i don't know what kane wants okay but he obviously invited us here for a reason yeah
10:19you in particular what you think you try to win me back that's not possible there's too much that's
10:26happened why try to figure out what he's after at all like why put yourself through the pain because he
10:32owes me answers he doesn't though that's the thing he doesn't at all and i think it's a really bad idea
10:37to stick around and give him false hope okay well i'm not responsible for his feelings but yes i see
10:43what you're saying okay because if i stay it might encourage him exactly thank you so can we leave
10:50i mean if there is something that he wants he might pull all the stops and make it happen
10:54that's not surprising in my experience your ex doesn't take no for an answer i cannot believe
11:02that you have been working for him all this time yeah up until very recently i mean i know i asked
11:09you before but when you were at arabesque was there any idea that you had as to how kane acquired his
11:17wealth no no nothing was ever clear i mean what about the employees like did anyone of them have an
11:24idea as to who he was no i had no idea okay and i really didn't interact with any other employees of
11:32dumana god i just can't believe how he just carefully structured everything look lily he gave me his
11:39two companies to run out right okay and i staffed him myself right because he wanted to present that you
11:44were the boss not him those were my orders to present the companies as my own look i really
11:51never mentioned dumas name at all that is until i met you and your family that's when the question
11:58started i just i i can't believe how how careful he was to just keep everything hidden yeah i always
12:07thought it was strange but now that i know who the guy is i find it even more disturbing why you know
12:18i figured it was a possibility that dumal was someone hiding his identity but he's a person that that's
12:26led two entirely different lives for the last six years how does someone do that
12:38i realize my request is significant
12:43let me give you a piece of advice kane ashby take your newly found riches and get the hell out of town as
12:53far away from general city as you can there's not a place for you that's not an option then why is
12:59that well like you said a lot's happened it's not going to be easy to win back trust it certainly isn't
13:07i'll find a way to make it up to everyone how the hell do you plan to do that after your history in
13:12this town there was a time when you made people believe that you were dead sure well i'm not the
13:18only person that's had to come back for mistakes besides that you won't be coming home to the same
13:22city general city is different people are different i understand i'm up for the challenge
13:31i have the feeling that you believe that if you were to buy chance industries that you would
13:38you know acquire a sheen of respectability is that it the company is not for sale so everybody has a
13:44price victor even you you won't let this go will you i have my reasons is this because of jill abbott
13:51you used to walk around claiming to be a chancellor but you're not the past the past
13:57victor i think we can find common ground let's make a deal i suggest you go after some other company
14:05any suggestions yeah i come to think you will
14:09why don't you go after jabot jack abbott might be fool enough to take you up on it
14:17you want me to go after jack's family legacy yeah if you did that you'd have my support
14:24it's a lot to take in isn't it certainly is i hear that phyllis and sharon are here along with
14:36audrey charles and uh kyle did anyone get lost in the mouth that we haven't seen yet hopefully no one
14:43got lost in the maze or got eaten by a dragon it's been a long day yes they've probably turned in for the
14:51the night i'm surprised to see the two of you actually i know how definite you were about not
14:56coming given that michael doesn't work for victory well whether the newmans care to believe it or not
15:03victor does not control the actions of everyone in the world especially those who are wise enough to
15:09break free from him actually nikki is right we had decided it was best not to come then we got a direct
15:16call from dumas himself not so subtly urging us to change our minds hmm that's interesting yeah it
15:27wouldn't take no for an answer i don't know why but now it's even more odd that we know it's kane just
15:32inspires more questions what do you think kane wants with the two of you and and what about chance yes
15:40that's a surprise to us as well what do you think that's all about i don't know but this could be
15:47the most curious development of all
15:55something amusing you that's just uh it's it's nice to see some things haven't changed in genoa city
16:02i see the habit uh newman family feud is still going strong you bet it is strong as ever look
16:14jack would never sell his family company you two have that in common
16:18i will not be pursuing jabot well that's too bad kane
16:23what i want is chancellor victor name your price whatever you want i will pay it
16:33i don't give a damn what you want
16:37chances not for sale okay you don't have guts coming here putting on this whole show and asking me to sell
16:46my wife's company ain't gonna happen end of conversation
17:03okay
17:06so abby how's uh how's dominic is he feeling better uh yeah he had a tiny fever that broke he'll be
17:12running circles around his nanny by morning that kid is tough that keeps him down for too long yeah
17:18you know i gotta be honest chance i didn't expect to see you here
17:22i didn't think you would have been invited well i didn't really expect an invite either
17:27maybe i'm here to represent chancellor all the other major power families are accounted for
17:32seems possible see i get a feeling you're here as a part of whatever
17:38kane has planned for chancellor well i don't work at chancellor anymore remember i quit while you're
17:44in charge oh yeah i remember have you moved on as well yeah i heard you two are starting a little
17:50thing together yeah avid communications launching when we get home very cool well if kane is after
17:58chancellor what the hell could he possibly want from either of us that's what i'm dying to find out
18:09listen i'm with damien okay kane has lived two completely separate lives within the last six
18:14years and he hid it from the kids and he hid it from you you don't owe him anything i know devon i know
18:20you're right okay thank you for saying that let me go find them creepy carter and have him put us on
18:26the first flight back no i'm not ready for that after everything we've talked about how are you not ready
18:32for it oh my god this is a lot okay we just got here and a bomb got dropped on us really no one
18:39could have predicted any of this exactly we've been talking about this billionaire for months who we
18:45think is coming after our company and it's kane that is a lot to process yeah that's seems fair okay
18:54and what about abby isn't she coming here we can't just abandon her i'm not gonna abandon her i haven't
18:59been able to reach her because of the cell service but i mean yeah plan was for her to come if dominic's
19:05feeling better right exactly so just give me the night to think about it and i will give you a
19:10decision in the morning okay i yeah i guess so okay thank you i think we could stand being in this
19:19beautiful setting at least one more day maze and all maze and all hey i can handle it now you saw to that
19:29no you handled it i just helped no no but now i'm willing to help you okay whatever you need all right
19:40tonight may have thrown you but we're gonna get to that next part okay thank you i appreciate that
19:47you're tough you tough well right now i feel very off balance hey look the ground's beneath you
19:58the sky's above you all right just take your time let us know what you decide and hey whenever you
20:06want to leave you give me the word and i will pack my bags okay okay yeah i am not kidding all right i'll
20:13go grab my suitcase throw all my things inside no folding or anything just pure chaos we're out
20:21well that sounds diabolical okay see now you're making jokes you're gonna be fine
20:28it took us a bit to get here but you and me we're friends right yeah of course we are yeah right and
20:35friends and friends are there for each other okay so look just take all the time you need all right
20:45if you decide that you want to leave you let me know or if you want somebody to talk to
20:50i'm your guy thank you i really appreciate it yeah of course
21:09i do wonder why kane was so insistent that we attend this event
21:12it must be up to something hopefully everything will become clear soon it better
21:20happy happy hi hi i'm so good to see you
21:29you all right
21:32yeah where is kane he's in the maze hello victor

21:50dumas uh kane rather insisted that we come we're not sure why
21:56how did your conversation go and all right but i'm going to discuss
22:02the content of the conversation in private with people i can trust
22:06i'm glad we have a chance to talk just the three of us
22:25the von i uh i didn't get a chance to say it before it's nice to see you again
22:32yeah i don't really feel the same way because you went to a lot of underhanded links to get us here
22:38would you have come if i asked this myself
22:44mr kane i'm finally meeting person
22:47you know i'm i'm beginning to understand why you decided to hide your face from the world
22:57to use people to your advantage you know i inadvertently played a very significant role
23:03in your deceit that's a harsh take from someone i took a risk on and employed generously for many years
23:09well you'll have to forgive me if i don't say thank you what do you want kane i was hoping that i could
23:17speak with you privately that's not necessary that's not gonna happen at all
23:23actually it's fine because i have some things i want to say myself

24:28we'll we'll try again tomorrow i don't know if i'll be here tomorrow devon and damien want to leave
24:34first thing

24:43plans that i would like to share with you plans you want to share you couldn't share those plans
24:49over the last six years it wasn't possible then lily if you just let me explain no no you're not
24:55going to call the shots anymore okay you led me here under false pretenses and then when it was
25:02convenient for you you decided to reveal your massive plot of lies to me and everyone else
25:10and now now it's time for you to talk about your mysterious agenda i understand you're angry i haven't
25:16even scratched the surface that's because you don't know the details all right you're making
25:20assumptions as to why yeah i have to i have nothing else to go on i get it lily i deserve this okay and
25:27you can throw whatever you want at me i will take it just know there's more to the story what does
25:32that even mean when you are ready i will tell you everything how it all involves you me and why me

25:50the two of us back together i haven't given up on us i can't
25:58are you kidding you are delusional if you think there's any hope for us all i said was i haven't
26:14given up you were the love of my life lily and i was yours we got married in france i remember it
26:22like it was yesterday is that why you chose this location oh my god kane it it's not gonna happen
26:29let it go
26:34well a guy could dream right
26:38why are you doing this to me really please just let me explain no no i i i know you know what i need
26:45to sleep because i'm not thinking rationally and i can't argue and i don't want to talk anymore okay
26:51that's okay whatever you need as long as you'll still be here tomorrow i will decide if i'm gonna
26:57be here tomorrow okay lily
27:08good night
27:21all right
27:41we're away from prying eyes and listening ears
27:46what kane say according to him he and his father build all this in his empire legitimately
27:57i guess stranger things have happened yeah well after what colin did to kane i don't know why he
28:03would want to have anything to do with this yeah but apparently you've met in the fences with him
28:07in fact he was there when his father died colin's dead forgive me if i don't shed a tear i know
28:17going to him he and his father built all this legitimately
28:22and uh
28:24kane assumed the identity of aristotle demar
28:28well because of the influence of his con man father i i i don't know what to make of it do you think
28:36any of this is true could be except i just don't think that kane ashby has the toughness to build a
28:46business like this did he tell you what he wants with us why we're here
28:52yeah he wants chancellor industries
29:00so you were right
29:05the nerve of this guy yeah
29:12well he has to know that he can't just offer us money
29:17what would we get in exchange
29:20the entirety of his business portfolio
29:26the whole thing yeah whole thing i mean that's not chump change
29:31mm-mm but why chancellor if this is about jill has kane spoken to her i don't know that
29:39but it doesn't make any sense jill sold chancellor to your father with the understanding that i would
29:45run it catherine's most trusted friend i think that he has other motivations like what a desire for power
29:55look none of this matters kane's not getting a damn thing from us
30:03sweetheart
30:06i'm gonna ask you what do you think about his offer
30:25i just i i don't i don't understand you just you've you've been lying
30:30this whole time when we've seen each other when we've talked about the kids
30:36i mean do the kids know are they keeping secrets for you no i would i wouldn't ask and they wouldn't
30:41do that oh you wouldn't do that right but you just have a double life you have another name and secrets
30:48and and lies yeah actually what am i saying of course you've been lying you lied when you first came
30:54to genoa city except now you're a billionaire you're a billionaire kane in six years i mean
31:03were you doing something illegal is that why you have a fake name so you're not indicted
31:08do you have my word that everything i've done is completely legal oh right i have your word oh yeah
31:13that's a lot i can count on thank you lily i promise you i will explain all of it every moment
31:19i will answer all of your questions just the two of us later right now i need to go tell the others
31:26lily please
31:43see the two of you found my best bottle of wine a clear reflection of both of your tastes
31:49enjoy and there's plenty of food left in the garden as well if you're hungry
31:53we appreciate your hospitality mr dumas i'm just glad the two of you decided to join us after all
32:03you were very insistent congratulations to you
32:10crowning achievement one hell of a feat getting the who's who of genoa city in this place all together
32:18should we bow to your brilliance toast to your ingenuity so how'd you do it let's pull all this
32:28off and why
32:32the details aren't important to you perhaps
32:38or perhaps you're just waiting for the right time to reveal them
32:42i'm turning over a new leaf a new era is in store for me i have plans that require my attention
32:53would it be self-aggrandizing of me to suspect that
32:57i may be involved in these plans of yours
33:02we can discuss that in the morning my assistant carter is waiting for you at the entrance of the
33:07main so you can show your train quarters when you're ready good night
33:16hello abby i'm very glad you could make it how's dominic it was just a little cold he's fine
33:26i heard you put on quite the performance for everyone particularly my sister-in-law yeah well
33:32i hope for rave reviews may i ask where my husband is devon is back in your train car
33:39you can go with michael and lauren carter will show you the way thank you so any more surprises for
33:45us tonight like maybe revealing the reason you gathered us all together here yeah that'd be nice
33:51i'd like to know that as well all in good time jack all in good time chance welcome may i have a word
34:01with you in private sure
34:31i've done a lot of research on aristotle dumas empire it's got significant value
34:52it's worth more than chancellor but they don't have the chance on me
34:57i agree with you mom i'm just giving you the information you can run any company you want
35:04the reality is if dad gives kane a number it sounds like he's gonna meet it
35:11the money isn't important a move like this increases newman's power wealth and reach that's not nothing
35:21true but darling it's up to you i follow your lead
35:31i run chancellor not him and i won't give it up catherine wouldn't want me to
35:41proud of you that's the answer i wanted to hear
35:45it's getting late maybe we should get back yeah we should we should head back to
35:55well i have to go through that maze one more time oh but sleep is on the other side of it
36:01you coming billy let me stick around a second and find out what kane wanted with chance
36:08i'm sure we can get all caught up on that in the morning it is curious of all the people that are
36:15invited to this particular party chance does kind of stand out the most oh maybe it's because kane has
36:22ties to jill or at least he pretended to at some point i mean it could be related to chancellor
