00:00What's up, man?

00:07Well, I have some new information to share about Cain.

00:11Since he's been back in Genoa City, he's been busy.

00:14Yeah, he's bought up damn near half the town.

00:17Well, it's not about what he bought, but who.

00:20He's been meeting with Billy Abbott.

00:23No surprise there.

00:25He's also been hanging out with Phyllis.

00:27I mean, he needs friends, Nick.

00:32Cain certainly didn't make any when he lured everybody to France to play his little murder mystery game.

00:38Wasn't a game. Three people died.

00:40Chance, Damien, Cain's weird assistant, and unlucky I wasn't the fourth.

00:45We're all glad that you made it out safe.

00:49Anyway, Cain is not wasting time warning the people who lost their lives on his watch.

00:53He's probably written them off as a business loss.

00:55And he's moving ahead with whatever he has planned.

00:58And trying to bring Billy and Phyllis in.

01:01I mean, they hung on every word that Cain was saying over in France.

01:05I was really hoping that when everyone came home, they would realize that Cain simply cannot be trusted.

01:11No.

01:12Most Billy and Phyllis, they have an axe to grind with Pop.

01:15And they both feel like they were cheated out of Chancellor.

01:18Look, it makes sense that Billy would get sucked in.

01:21But Phyllis, I mean, she gave me an earful while I was in France, defending him when I thought that Cain was trying to frame me.

01:28I have to believe that she's not going to buy what Cain is selling.

01:31You know, it's going to be tempting, yes.

01:34I just don't believe she's going to turn her back on all the people that she's known over here for so many years.

01:39Don't be naive, son.

01:42You and I know that Phyllis would sell her first war.

01:45In fact, she would sell her whole brew if it meant she gets what she wants.

01:52That's exactly the kind of ruthlessness that appears to Cain Ashby.

01:57You and I know that Phyllis would sell her first war.

02:45Hey, Jack. Good afternoon.

02:48Thanks for meeting me.

02:49I took the liberty of ordering you the empanadas.

02:53I make it a point to know what it is people want.

02:56Knowledge is power.

02:58You dictated what would be on the menu when we were in France

03:01and then insisted we all fight our way through your maze to get to our meals in the future.

03:08Could I ask that you respectfully allow me to make my own choices?

03:12Well, I do hope that before things took a tragic turn,

03:16you were at least able to enjoy yourself a little bit as my guest and niece.

03:19Well, it wasn't exactly a relaxing vacation, the food, the accommodations were first rate,

03:25but I still don't know why you invited Diane and me to your chateau.

03:30Well, I did have every intention of meeting with everyone individually,

03:37sharing the details of my plan with hopes of brokering deals,

03:41but the tragic events that transpired changed those plans.

03:44I am grateful that I get a chance to meet with you,

03:48though I think a conversation between the two of us is long overdue.

03:56Yeah, we are all set for the launch.

04:00Yeah, I sent you over a preliminary guest list.

04:02If you could just handle the logistics for my plan, that would be great.

04:05I just have my hands full dealing with the content teams and getting them up and running.

04:09Yeah, we have some really exciting things in the pipeline.

04:13Great.

04:14Cool.

04:15Yeah, we will touch base end of day.

04:17Perfect.

04:18Bye.

04:20Hi.

04:22So, I have the event planner all set for the launch party,

04:27and I sent you the contract for that woman that we poached from our affiliate in Chicago?

04:31Mm-hmm.

04:33Are you okay?

04:34Yeah, no, I'm okay.

04:37Okay.

04:37I thought you'd be a little bit more excited about that hire.

04:40I mean, she's a great catch.

04:42She's going to be great.

04:44Is it her terms?

04:47Billy, please just give her what she wants.

04:48Please.

04:49Seriously, whatever it is.

04:50I mean, I should get a raise for hiring her.

04:52She's going to put us on the map.

04:54Great.

04:54Send it to legal.

04:55We'll take care of it.

04:57Okay.

04:59What's going on?

05:02Just processing things.

05:05What things?

05:05Things with my brother.

05:09I told him the truth, that Cain wants to use me against my family in order to expand his empire.

05:18Yeah, by trying to take over the biggest companies in Genoa City.

05:21I think you were right to give Jack a heads up about that.

05:24Yeah, I'm just not sure that the warning is going to make any difference.

05:29Cain's confident that he can take over his boat.

05:32And that nothing can stop him.

05:34And I'm thinking that maybe he's right.

05:37Billy, you're not still considering helping Cain steal your brother's company, are you?

05:41Look, I know Phyllis can be selfish.

05:53And obsessive.

05:54All right, I'm not going to argue with either one of you, but I can tell you that Phyllis would walk through the fires of hell for any one of her children.

06:01Son, let me tell you, the devil doesn't feel the heat, all right?

06:04I would really think that you could understand Phyllis on that one, Dad.

06:09How so?

06:10Well, like you, Phyllis sometimes does things that her kids don't like.

06:14But she always does them because she perceives that to be the best for her kids.

06:18And sometimes Phyllis is wrong about what's best.

06:21That's putting it mildly.

06:24If our suspicions are correct, then Cain's going to be making a play for every legacy company in Genoa City.

06:31That includes Jabot, which owns Marchetti.

06:35And Summer runs Marchetti, so you would think that Phyllis wouldn't let Cain get anywhere near that company.

06:41Don't any of you realize that Kyle Abbott manipulated Summer into selling the damn thing to Jabot?

06:49See, the way I remember it, Summer approached Jack and Kyle by making that deal.

06:54No, son, that's what they want you to believe.

06:57Kyle Abbott forced Summer to sell the damn company.

06:59Okay, maybe it's time to let this crusade against Kyle go.

07:04Why?

07:05Because we have much bigger issues to deal with.

07:08Yes, we do.

07:09Like Cain Ashby.

07:10I get a sense that your guard is up.

07:15Why wouldn't it be?

07:17I'm sure I'm not the only guest who was relieved to exit your property without a knife in my back.

07:23I apologize for the actions of Carter.

07:25He killed two men.

07:27And I'll have to carry that weight for the rest of my life.

07:31I'm not a threat to you, Jack.

07:32Oh, if I thought you were a threat to my physical well-being, I would not be sitting opposite you at a table that was set with cutlery.

07:41So then what, you think I'm a threat to your business?

07:43No, as I said before, you've kept me completely in the dark as to your intentions.

07:47Perhaps this would be a good time for you to fill me in.

07:50Well, some late-breaking events have superseded my original plans.

07:54Yes, we all have to adapt to a changing landscape.

07:58Maybe we could talk more specifically, a little less generally.

08:02Agreed.

08:03Why don't we start with Abbott Communications?

08:05As good a place as any to start.

08:08You know, I'm getting a sense, based on your demeanor, that you're not really eager to make a deal.

08:13You also thought I wanted empanadas.

08:15You seem to be keen on reading me.

08:18Like, I know Billy told you that I had an interest in acquiring your stake in the company.

08:22He mentioned it, yes.

08:24So, did Billy give me the wrong impression?

08:28I mean, have you changed your mind, or do you just want to play hardball?

08:34If I'm being honest, Sally, I need to consider all the options, right?

08:38Because, look, if Cain does get his hands on Jabot, I think it's better to have an Abbott with a seat at the table.

08:46Yeah, but I doubt the rest of your family's going to see it that way.

08:49No, they're not going to see it that way at all.

08:50They're going to see it as a betrayal.

08:52I mean, I can't go along with Cain's plan.

08:56It's just, it's far too extreme, but...

08:59Okay, well, I can't tell you what a relief it is to hear you say that.

09:06But I know that you had your heart set on getting Chancellor back.

09:09I think there's a way to take back what Victor stole from me without Cain's help.

09:16Jack wants me to play along with Cain so I can be on the inside and warn him about his plans for Jabot.

09:23Jack wants you to spy on Cain?

09:28I'm assuming you told him no.

09:31I didn't answer him.

09:33I didn't get the chance. We were interrupted by Phyllis.

09:38Billy, please tell me you see what a bad idea this is.

09:41Following Cain's plan just cost three people their lives.

09:46Why would you even take a chance on getting anywhere near that guy?

09:59Like you, I make it my business to know what people want.

10:02I also like to know why they want it.

10:05Sure. You want to know why I want to buy your steak?

10:08I didn't have any communications.

10:09Yeah, I think it's a fair question.

10:11A completely untested company has yet to launch.

10:14Okay, yeah.

10:16Well, I think it's a wise investment, Jack.

10:20And clearly so do you since you're willing to put in millions of dollars to get it off the ground

10:23and now you've suddenly changed your mind as far as wanting to let it go.

10:27So was Billy wrong about you wanting out?

10:30Because I'm certain that we can come to terms here.

10:32I think you're going to walk away from this with a very healthy return on your investment.

10:35This is not about money.

10:37Yeah, Jack.

10:38People say that until they see all the zeros I'm putting on the check I'm writing on.

10:43Billy's your brother.

10:44Billy and I had a bond once.

10:46Doesn't that practically make us family?

10:49No, it does not.

10:52Whatever short time you had as Billy's brother was based on a lie.

10:57In fact, Cain, I'm not sure what part of you is actually honest.

11:03The way you present yourself with his civility and the charming smile.

11:07It's just another version of Aristotle Dumas, another facade in your repertoire.

11:11Your ordering my lunch was a power move, thinly veiled as consideration.

11:17It was an effort to get control, to re-establish the dominance you held over everyone in your home when you held us hostage there.

11:27Yeah.

11:28Wow.

11:30I can see I'm not the only one that might be presenting a facade.

11:35You hide it well, Jack, but I can see the anger in your eyes.

11:39Filled to the brim with wrath and contempt.

11:42And yet here you sit, across from me, coloring easy reach, exchanging pleasantries and having a polite conversation with me.

11:52We are in public.

11:54I, at least, have a reputation to uphold.

11:57Yeah, I was really hoping that we could walk away from this meeting on good terms with a handshake deal.

12:02But I can see you'd rather have those hands of yours wrapped around my throat.

12:08Good manners and a sense of propriety are the only thing that are keeping you from lunging across the table at me right now.

12:13I thought about doing a deal with you.

12:17I've had a change of heart.

12:20I don't want to facilitate any of your plans.

12:23In fact, I would like to change this to selling you on something.

12:27What's that, Jack?

12:27That it would be in your best interest to leave Genoa City.

12:32No one wants you here, Kane.

12:35No one trusts you enough to do business with you.

12:38Look, I'm not in any way trying to diminish the tragedy that happened in France, but I don't blame Kane for Damien's death.

12:48Okay.

12:49What about chances?

12:50Or Carter's?

12:51Carter took his own life.

12:52Yes, because someone or something made him think that he needed to kill for his boss.

12:59Look, I know Kane, all right?

13:00Has he proven to be cutthroat?

13:04Yeah.

13:04But he's not a cold-blooded killer.

13:06Okay, I mean, you've told me a little bit about your history with Kane.

13:10It's complicated.

13:13With everything that's going on with my mother right now, it's only making things worse.

13:16Right, because you think she chose Kane over you.

13:18Yes, which is exactly why I am not going to choose Kane over my own flesh and blood.

13:25Look.

13:25Jack thinks it's a good idea that I get on the inside with Kane.

13:33So I can help protect your beau and also understand what Kane's plans are for Chancellor.

13:39Okay, so really nothing has changed.

13:43You're still all about going after Chancellor to prove to your mother and the rest of the world that she was wrong to take it from you.

13:47She was wrong.

13:48Yes, I know, and you know I agree with you on that.

13:50And we have an agreement that if I end up running Chancellor, then you'll be the one to run Abbott Communications.

13:56Right.

13:57So I'm just supposed to sit around and wait to see what happens?

14:01Is that right?

14:03Yeah.

14:04Sally, but it's not...

14:05Look, Billy, I'm ready now.

14:08Okay, I am ready to launch Abbott Communications, whether I am riding shotgun or I'm in the driver's seat.

14:14But is that not going to happen?

14:15Now that everything's on hold while you work another angle to try and find a way to reclaim Chancellor?

14:21How is that in any way fair to me?

14:26It's not.

14:28It's not fair.

14:30I'm sorry.

14:31Look, Billy, I need more than an apology.

14:39If you're not going to lead this company, then I need you to step aside and let me run it.

14:48Cain won't be able to hide behind his alias forever.

14:51He's about to be exposed on all of Numa Media's platforms.

14:54I didn't realize you were ready to publish the Dumas Cain story.

14:58Well, as soon as our father gives me the green light.

15:02You have it.

15:04Just need legal to sign off on it.

15:07Cain and his web of lies will be trending before the day is done.

15:10You know, I'm surprised this didn't leak sooner.

15:14Oh, or think in this flash of news, might blindside Cain and maybe throw him off balance.

15:18I like it.

15:19Sounds like a plan.

15:26Sweetheart, I'm glad you're here.

15:28We're just about to discuss strategy as to how to go after Cain Ashby.

15:36Okay, well, that will have to wait.

15:39Nick, Adam, will you give us the room?

15:41There's something that I need to discuss with our father.

15:44What's got you so upset, Vic?

15:58You know we're all here for you, right?

15:59I know you are, Nick.

16:01And Adam, thank you.

16:03You've been so supportive since we lost Cole.

16:07Nick, maybe we can head over to Newman Tower.

16:10Light a fire under our attorneys and put Cain on blast.

16:16You really want me to go? I feel like I should stay.

16:18Nicholas, please go with Adam.

16:20Boys, I'd like to hear what your sister has to say, okay?

16:23Okay, but I'm going to be checking in with both of you later.

16:34Daddy, how could you?

16:37Oh, wait a minute.

16:38Why am I even saying that?

16:39That implies that I don't think that you're capable of sinking so low

16:43when we both know that's not the case.

16:45What are you talking about?

16:46You know exactly what I'm talking about.

16:48No, I don't.

16:49You're really going to make me say it when I...

16:51It turns my stomach to even think of it.

16:54Say it.

16:55You used Audra Charles to try to break up Kyle and Claire.

17:00I think I may be more furious at myself than I am at you right now.

17:04I mean, I should have seen this coming

17:06when Mom told me that you were going back into business with that snake.

17:08You tempted her with the prospect of owning her own company

17:13and you persuaded her to try to seduce Kyle.

17:17And by the way, Kyle didn't want anything to do with that Jezebel.

17:21That's a biblical reference.

17:25You know what?

17:26I don't know why I'm surprised at all,

17:28given the amount of times

17:30and given the extent that you've gone to over the years

17:32to try to interfere in my love life.

17:35Sweetheart, I interfered in your love life

17:37because I didn't want you to get hurt.

17:39I don't want Claire to get hurt.

17:41But, Daddy, don't you see that's exactly what you're doing right now?

17:44You're making Kyle look bad.

17:47You're trying to, anyway.

17:48You're trying to make him look bad in Claire's eyes.

17:52So?

17:54Now you said your piece, I'm going to say mine.

18:00Look, I have already committed so much time and energy

18:03into getting Avid Communications off the ground.

18:05I know you have. We both have.

18:06Yes, and I already agreed to putting off the launch once already.

18:09Well, that's so we could go to France and find out who Dumas was.

18:12Right, and we did.

18:13And now we're sitting on the biggest scoop of the century,

18:16the secret identity of Aristotle Dumas.

18:18Sally, you know my reasons why.

18:21Look, Billy, if you are so hell-bent on going after Chancellor

18:24and I'm going to be running Avid Communications,

18:26if and when you make that happen,

18:28then what is the point of stopping me from doing it now?

18:31There's no good reason.

18:35You're right.

18:38I am.

18:39Do you want me to disagree with you?

18:41Do you have more arguments to make?

18:42No, no, no. No, I'm right.

18:44I just didn't expect you to admit it.

18:47At least not so quickly.

18:48Look, I'm confident that I'm going to be running Chancellor.

18:52So you should be running Avid Communications,

18:54and you should start doing that now, with my blessing.

18:55Go for it.

19:01Thank you, Billy.

19:08Well, I am very sorry

19:10that you're not interested in selling me

19:12your stake of Avid Communications.

19:14As far as your proposal about me leaving General City,

19:17I'm afraid that is a non-starter, Jack.

19:19I think any chance you had at Goodwill,

19:21you left on the other side of the Atlantic.

19:23Yeah, that may be, but I'm not really interested

19:26in winning a popularity contest.

19:27No.

19:29Is that why you invited half this town to your chateau

19:31to ply us with fine wine and foie gras?

19:34Yeah.

19:35Failed attempt at reproach, Mon.

19:38But we're not talking about personal relationships here, Jack.

19:40We're talking about business.

19:43Billy does want to deepen our connection.

19:45He doesn't see me as a threat the same way that you do.

19:48Billy has been known to be impetuous.

19:51Tell me something.

19:52Why do you feel compelled to grow

19:55what is already a vast empire?

19:57What drives you?

20:00What is it you really want?

20:05Any guesses as to what Dad did to upset Vic so much?

20:09Oh, I assume it has something to do with Claire.

20:14Pops pulled no punches with Kyle at Cole's memorial.

20:18Wasn't the time or place for that.

20:19Victor Newman doesn't concern himself with things like timing, inappropriate venue.

20:25You know, when he wants his opinion known, he lets it rip.

20:27No matter who it upsets.

20:29Upsetting someone is usually the point.

20:32And he definitely hit his mark that day.

20:35Yeah.

20:36I tell you, I've had a front row seat to watching Dad interfere in Vic's love life for decades.

20:41And I'm sure he has kept his opinions to himself on your choices in the romantic arena.

20:47Oh, of course he has.

20:48Of course.

20:49Yours too, right?

20:50So why should Claire miss out on that family tradition?

20:54True.

20:59Nick, good to see you back on your feet after what happened to Nice.

21:02Yeah, you know, thanks to Sally, pulling out that salt and teabag thing.

21:07I mean, she really hooked me up.

21:09Yes, she did.

21:10Yeah, Cain put you all through hell up on that mountain.

21:13Seems like everybody would want to steer clear of the guy, but not you, Billy.

21:18What's that supposed to mean, Adam?

21:19Well, I mean, you and Cain have been seen putting our heads together.

21:23It just makes me wonder what that's all about.

21:25What drives anyone, Jack?

21:36Most people are driven to achieve exactly what you already have.

21:41A luxurious estate in the south of France.

21:44Two beautiful, healthy children.

21:46As Dumas, you built arabesque into a powerhouse.

21:50Dumas is done.

21:51And in no time, no one's going to care that he ever existed.

21:54No, they want to cheer you on no matter what your name is.

21:59I say, enjoy your newfound wealth and stature.

22:03You just want me to enjoy it somewhere else.

22:06Cain, if you think whatever your plan is, is going to help you win back Lily's heart...

22:10Jack, you need to accept the fact that I'm not going anywhere.

22:15I don't owe you or anyone else an explanation.

22:17My vision is crystal clear.

22:19I know exactly what I want and why I want it.

22:22Well, I hope you get your heart's desire.

22:25By the way, if the rumors I hear are true, that you are going after an established company or two in this town,

22:37you would be wise to remember the scope of power, the range of tenacity of the people you are pitting yourself against.

22:45Thank you for the empanadas.

22:49I lost my appetite.

22:58Newman's hire a PI to follow me around?

23:01And I know my good looks and my business acumen have always been threatening to you, Adam, but that's a little aggressive.

23:05Look, if you wanted to keep your meetings with Ashby a secret, you should have done a better job of being careful.

23:12I guess some of us are better at keeping secrets than others, huh?

23:16If that is yet another dig about what me and Chelsea did, Billy...

23:19No, no, no.

23:20I think we've all moved on from that particular display of your lack of character and integrity.

23:24As far as Cain, I don't really care if you guys know that we've met.

23:28What I'm wondering is why you care.

23:30Billy, I know a lot of people in this town think you're stupid, but you're not.

23:35Cain has made it obvious he intends to acquire Chancellor.

23:38Given that he has purchased so many other properties, does it make sense he would be interested in getting other companies as well?

23:46I'm not going to comment on Cain's intentions, Nick.

23:49Okay, well then, do you want to speak to yours then?

23:51Are you working with Cain or not to further his agenda?

23:53Again, it's flattering how much the Newman's are thinking about me.

23:56But what makes either of you believe that I'm going to tell you what I'm thinking?

24:05All right, Dad, listen to me.

24:07Before you say your piece, you really do need to listen.

24:11This is...

24:12This is an all-too-familiar scene.

24:16And it's triggering for me, honestly.

24:18I mean, you have interfered in my love life countless, countless times.

24:23Was I ever wrong?

24:24For me and my heart at the time?

24:27Yes, you were.

24:29Maybe it's true that ultimately some of those men weren't right for me, but you owed me the love and the respect to learn that for myself.

24:43There's...

24:44There's another very important relationship that you very nearly ruined.

24:50Which one is that?

24:53Ours.

24:54Daddy, I wanted to sever ties with you so many times.

25:00So many times because you refused to let me follow my own heart.

25:04But I couldn't do it.

25:07I love you too damn much.

25:10Sweetheart, that's the point.

25:12I love you.

25:13I love Claire.

25:14I wasn't about to let you get hurt by any of those men.

25:18Cole was not that kind of man.

25:20I was leery of him.

25:23He, you know, turned out to be worthy of you.

25:26That is not up to you to decide who I can and can't love.

25:29Sweetheart, you're a mother.

25:31I'm a father.

25:31Don't you want to protect your children?

25:33Claire is not a child.

25:37Look, somehow, after everything that we went through, you and I, we're okay.

25:43We're still okay.

25:46I hope you're more than okay.

25:48But that was a very painful time for me.

25:51And I know it was hard on you too.

25:53I know that.

25:54I'm just afraid that your relationship with Claire is not going to survive this.

26:00And, Dad, I'm not just trying to protect her.

26:03I also care so much about you.

26:05And I know how much you love Claire.

26:06And I know how much losing her love would hurt you.

26:10That's not going to happen.

26:11She's a Newman.

26:13She's a Newman and she's as stubborn as her grandfather.

26:16And you know what?

26:17She needs you right now.

26:19She just lost Cole.

26:21And she sees you as a father figure in her life.

26:23And that is a wonderful thing.

26:24Sometimes I don't get you, children.

26:32You know, I just, I mean, I love you.

26:35Everything I do is out of love for you and for Claire.

26:38I don't want to watch her, you know, have her heart broken.

26:42Claire is in danger of having her heart broken right now.

26:45And Kyle isn't the one threatening to do that.

26:48You are.

26:50That's not a nice thing to say.

26:52But it's true.

26:54Hey, I just got off the phone with Kyle with the launch of our new products.

27:08We are upping our fourth quarter projections by 10%.

27:11Yeah, that's great news.

27:13All right, well, you look like you've gotten some bad news.

27:16Dare I ask how you're meeting with Cain, Lou?

27:18I think we need to brace ourselves for battle.

27:22Cain isn't going anywhere.

27:24And he's coming after all of us.

27:35If everybody disagrees with you about Kyle,

27:38or, you know, any other subject,

27:41you maybe entertain the possibility that you're wrong.

27:46Kyle Abbott has you all duped.

27:48Well, it's very difficult for you to be objective when it comes to anyone with the last name Abbott.

27:56Look, just because you hate Kyle's entire family doesn't mean that Kyle doesn't love Claire.

28:02Maybe Kyle is going to hurt Claire.

28:05I don't know.

28:06But we have to trust that that's part of Claire's journey.

28:08And just make sure that we're there for her if that ever happens.

28:12It's an inevitability as far as I'm concerned.

28:15Daddy, please.

28:16I'm begging you.

28:17Let this go.

28:20Let Claire find her own way.

28:23Otherwise, I'm...

28:24I'm afraid that you're going to lose her forever.

28:27Did Kane admit that he intends to take over Jabot, Newman, and Genoa City's other major players?

28:48No mention of his plans.

28:50No hint at any hostile maneuvers.

28:52It was an oh-so-polite and civil meeting.

28:55Kane is not without confidence, though in his case, I'm not sure it's justified.

28:59Well, you don't think any members of our family have reason to be disloyal, do you?

29:03No, I have circled the wagons.

29:03Everyone is on alert.

29:05Everyone is committed.

29:07Kane's main interest right now is his eagerness to get my share of Abbott communications.

29:13And?

29:14I turned him down.

29:16And I tried to convince him to leave town.

29:19And here you said your meeting was oh-so-polite.

29:22So, did it work?

29:23I know how persuasive you were.

29:24Oh, in this case, my sage advice fell on deaf ears.

29:28But Kane, knowing you're against him, could help Billy convince Kane that he could be a valuable ally.

29:34And Billy could let us know what Kane is planning.

29:39I guess it could work.

29:40Only one problem with this plan.

29:42It requires putting all our faith and perhaps the future of the family company in Billy's hands.

29:50You know, I can think of one real good reason why you should tell us what Kane is up to.

29:57And that is your kids, whose mother just happens to run Newman with me.

30:01Come on, don't do that.

30:02You know better.

30:03I'm not going to threaten my kids.

30:05I'm not going to put them in any sort of danger.

30:06And I'm not going to do that to Victoria either.

30:08The only person I'm interested to see fall is Victor.

30:12And that is the reason for our concern.

30:14If you help Kane make a move against Newman or Chancellor, you're going to make an enemy out of me.

30:20Gee, Nick.

30:21Here I thought we became friendly in these.

30:23That's what I get for trying to save your life, huh?

30:25Well, many people can't tolerate you for long, Billy.

30:28You go do something stupid and you get back on people's bad side.

30:31No, you and me, Adam, yeah.

30:32No love loss.

30:33That's not going to change.

30:34But Nick and I, I mean, come on.

30:35Hold on.

30:36What do you want?

30:37You want to grab some coffee, maybe go shoot some hoops or something?

30:39Okay, you two, relax, all right?

30:41I came here to get a coffee, not a shakedown from the Newman brothers so they could get intel from Kane.

30:46Adam's right.

30:46You're starting to get on my nerves.

30:48You're the one cornering me here.

30:51And let's talk about your dad for a second because he wasn't concerned about my kids at all when he stole Chancellor from me, all right?

30:56In fact, he used it every opportunity he could to humiliate me in front of my kids.

31:01You do enough of that yourself.

31:02Victor doesn't want Chancellor.

31:06He doesn't care about it.

31:08He wanted to give Nicky a new little toy to play with, shinier and bigger than the Ferrari, all right?

31:13So she could dress up and play CEO.

31:15That's enough.

31:16You don't talk about my mom like that.

31:27You say whatever you want about my dad.

31:29You don't take shots at my mom.

31:30She's your kid's grandmother.

31:31You're going to lecture me on loyalty, Nick?

31:34On honor and integrity?

31:35Give me a break.

31:36You guys are Newmans.

31:37You backstab each other.

31:38You sell each other out more times than I could even count.

31:41Yeah, let's watch you run your mouth while you're spitting your teeth out.

31:43Okay, Nick.

31:44God.

31:45Look, he's not worth it.

31:46Actually, I am worth it, Adam.

31:48Your father's bigger and stronger than you'll ever be.

31:50And he's taken so many shots at me, and yet I'm still standing.

31:52But please, go ahead.

31:54Take your best shot.

31:59That's right.

32:01You're not worth it.

32:02And it doesn't matter who you get to back you, Billy.

32:04Jack, Kane, whoever.

32:07You should think you would know by now that when you go up against the Newmans, you are

32:09always going to lose.

32:11I mean, look at you.

32:13You're a bunch of bullies, just like your father.

32:15You got a shot here to walk away from whatever it is you're playing with Kane with a shredded

32:20decency.

32:21Which is more than your dad is going to end up with by the time I'm set and done with

32:24him.

32:32You all right?

32:34Mm-hmm.

32:35Normally, I don't let him get to me like that.

32:38No, I get it.

32:39Guy knows how to push people's buttons.

32:41Oh, he sure does.

32:42Mm-hmm.

32:44Thanks for keeping me in check.

32:47Didn't feel like spending the afternoon in the emergency room.

32:49Or the police station.

32:54Well, at least now we know where Billy stands.

32:57Kane's got him in his back pocket.

33:01Honey, I hate to add fuel to the fire, but we both know how unreliable Billy can be.

33:06Hey, I almost cut Billy out of my life for his own good.

33:09Yes, and I'm so glad you didn't for your own good as well as his.

33:12Jack, it would have killed you to do that.

33:14Billy came to me with Kane's plan.

33:16I would like to think he would not betray our father.

33:19By helping Kane get his hands on Jabot.

33:22So we have to trust Billy, and we'll worry about Kane.

33:27Despite Kane's cool demeanor, I could see the pain beneath the surface.

33:30Well, I'm sure being back in Genoa City has brought up a lot of old feelings.

33:35The loss of his father.

33:37I think it's more recent than that.

33:38I think it's Lily's rejection.

33:41Does he really think the best way to win her love back is to acquire all these major companies in town and whip them into some super conglomerate?
