00:00You're stubbornness in regard to Cain Ashby.
00:03I mean, you're so willing to give that imposter son of yours the benefit of the doubt.
00:11Despite his lies and deceit.
00:13Well, we got past that ages ago, Cain and I.
00:17Well, apparently the lies and deceit are sticking around,
00:21otherwise we would never have heard of Aristotle Dumas.
00:25Nicky, I am not blind to Cain's imperfections.
00:32What, Cain's imperfections? Well, that's such a gentle way of describing it.
00:37Well, we all have our soft spots, don't we, Victor?
00:43Even you, believe it or not.
00:45Which is why I'm just a little bit curious about this visit today.
00:49What about it?
00:50Well, you know that I have a bond with Cain,
00:53even though you don't think it's justified,
00:56and it was made even stronger by my relationship with his father.
01:01So, I am baffled as to why you are so confident
01:07that you can change the way I feel about him
01:10with something you could, what, do or say?
01:15Come on.
01:17I'm on the edge of my seat.
01:19Hope I'm not catching you at a bad time.
01:40Not at all.
01:42I've been expecting you.
01:43I see you're dressed for the occasion.
01:46Morning.
01:48Rough night?
01:48Uh, you know, I didn't sleep very well.
01:52Probably jinxed myself right into Billy.
01:53I slept like a baby.
01:55Oh, I could think of a more obvious reason than that.
01:58Oh?
01:59Your conscience is finally waking up.
02:01It's giving you a hard time.
02:04So, let's have a...
02:26Let me ask you, Jill, are you even aware of the danger that Cain poses?
02:49Well, I've heard rumblings, you know, and your wife gave me a brief tutorial before you got here.
02:57Well, take me out of the equation. You know that he's targeting everyone in this town, everyone you have known and do know and have had relationships with and are even related to.
03:11I wouldn't want anything to happen to you either.
03:14Oh, that's so touching.
03:19Um, but as I told Nicky, the threat is over.
03:22Hmm. How so?
03:24I had a long talk with Cain, and my sense is that he has just backed off any attack whatsoever.
03:30In fact, he regrets even considering that path. So, the coast is clear, you can come out of your bunkers. There isn't going to be a war.
03:44Interesting, you're referencing my conscience.
03:48Oh, why is that?
03:49You know, I just assumed you've all come to the conclusion that I didn't have one.
03:54Well, you've made it awfully easy to think that way.
03:59Have you talked to Billy?
04:00I have.
04:02So, you know we're not working on any projects together.
04:04I cut ties with him, so, that should make you happy.
04:08Well, that depends.
04:10On what?
04:10On why you got involved with him in the first place.
04:14I'm sure Billy's told you all about it.
04:16Well, I'd love to hear your version.
04:17I mean, why would you play carrot and stick for months on end, stringing Billy along, making giant promises, only to snatch it all the way at the last minute?
04:27Do you just like playing mind games? Is that it?
04:30No, seriously, I would like to know.
04:33What could any of us have done to deserve being played like that?
04:47Do you think Sharon's going to be okay?
04:51Because of what you told her about Mariah?
04:53Yeah.
04:54I mean, it's probably pretty tough hearing that your daughter might have tried to kill someone.
04:59I probably should have kept my mouth shut.
05:01I think that she already knew something was up with her.
05:03Yeah, but after everything she's been through this year, did I really have to dump it on her?
05:09I mean, it was kind of selfish.
05:11She's so fragile.
05:12Not so much anymore.
05:14What do you mean?
05:15I've seen Sharon and experienced her when she's gone off the rails, and that's not who she is anymore.
05:24I think that she can tell her anything.
05:25I think that she really wants to help.
05:27And we're talking about her daughter here.
05:29She wants to know what's going on with Mariah just as bad as you do, if not even more so.
05:34Oh, I know you're right.
05:36You're right.
05:36I just, I don't feel very sure of myself lately.
05:39Hey, you're doing great.
05:43A lot better than I would be.
05:44Oh, I doubt that very much.
05:46I'm serious.
05:47I mean, you are a warrior.
05:49Mariah's lucky to have you in her corner.
05:51Wow.
05:52I mean, I don't feel like much of a warrior right now.
05:57I just wish I could get it out of my head that Mariah might be in danger from the man that she attacked.
06:03Well, that's on me.
06:04I mean, I'm the one who put that out there.
06:06No, but it's possible, right?
06:07Even if it is, Mariah is safe at the clinic in Boston.
06:13And this guy, whoever he may be, if he is some kind of threat, he can't get to her there.
06:20Maybe we need to get to him first.
06:25Please forgive me.
06:30But I find it very hard to believe that a man who has deceived the world for the last six years
06:35was finally seeing the error of his ways.
06:39Yeah, but he has regrets about everything.
06:43And he was much more honest and forthcoming than Billy was, I can tell you that.
06:48That's because Billy felt that you betrayed him with Chancellor.
06:52Of course he's going to put up a wall.
06:54And because Cain wants to keep his relationship with you on the best of terms.
07:00You make everything sound so transactional.
07:03But it is, isn't it?
07:05No, not between Cain and me.
07:08I mean, I know how jaundiced you are, but he and I care about each other deeply.
07:15We do.
07:15So you tell each other everything, hold nothing back?
07:20What are you suggesting?
07:22Either you're lying to us or he's lying to you.
07:28I am talking about how Cain really built his little empire.
07:34Have you heard the real story?
07:36It isn't pretty.
07:38See, you keep trying to make it personal, Jack.
07:46It's just business.
07:48Not for Billy, it wasn't.
07:50No, it was very personal when Aristotle Dumas
07:53called out of the blue dangling promises of Chancellor.
07:58Well, he could have hung up the phone.
07:59You knew he wouldn't.
08:03You knew it was exactly what he wanted to hear.
08:06And then you ghosted him.
08:08Only to come back a little while later with more deals
08:11that never went anywhere and on and on and on.
08:16Knowing it would crush him.
08:18That is a new level of cruelty even for you, Cain.
08:22Okay, well, I can acknowledge Billy's level of investment.
08:27But can you honestly stand there and tell me
08:29that you think it was a healthy one?
08:30Oh, if you want to compare unhealthy obsessions,
08:33you might look in the mirror and ask yourself,
08:36how much is enough?
08:38I'm guessing the answer is there is no such thing.
08:41It wouldn't be worth all this effort.
08:43Otherwise, no, you have pretty much everything you want,
08:47don't you?
08:47So I'm the rarest of all birds.
08:50A completely satisfied man.
08:52I wasn't talking about your personal life.
08:55That sounds like a total mess from what I can gather.
08:59Well, yeah, we're all works in progress, Jack.
09:03But to answer your previous question,
09:05I wasn't playing Billy out of a grudge against him.
09:10No, the fact is, we're just too much alike.
09:13Both inveterate loners, a little erratic.
09:17Quite honestly, neither of us play very well with others.
09:19Sounds like you've been doing some real soul-searching.
09:22In my messy personal life, as you so kindly put it,
09:26frankly, I'm starting to second-guess that.
09:30You know, playing mind games was fun for a little while,
09:32I can admit that, but it's time to give it up.
09:36Because you were dead right about one thing,
09:39which is the addiction of wanting more.
09:41It's the strongest addiction there is.
09:45But at what cost?
09:47See, these are the kinds of questions I'm asking myself now, Jack.
09:50I'm not shying away from who I am, who I was.
09:55I'm simply reconsidering who I want to be.
09:58You really want to track down this Hensley guy?
10:06I mean, that way we could see what he's thinking.
10:09If he wants to get revenge against Mariah,
10:11if he's a legitimate threat.
10:13How do we do that?
10:15Okay, I don't know.
10:17Um, ask questions.
10:18Talk to him.
10:19We're not cops.
10:20We're not private detectives.
10:22We can't just walk up to this guy and be like,
10:24hey, bro, are you a threat?
10:25Okay, yeah, we can't do that.
10:27I think, I think it's best just to maybe leave it alone.
10:32Or maybe we talk to him casually at a restaurant or a bar
10:38and just see if he's a threatening guy.
10:42You know, I'm going to say something out loud here
10:44that I should probably just keep to myself.
10:46Okay.
10:47Mariah might not be the only one who's in danger.
10:51Wait, what do you mean?
10:52You just said that Mariah's safe in Boston.
10:54She is.
10:55But you go poking around,
10:57this guy might figure out who you are to her,
10:59that you're her wife.
11:01Oh, my God.
11:02And that Ari is our daughter.
11:04I mean, is that possible?
11:05Do you think that that could happen?
11:08I don't.
11:09I think it's a stretch.
11:11Unless you go and you find this guy
11:13and you ask him about the woman that tried to kill him
11:16and how he feels about that.
11:18Okay.
11:19Okay.
11:21When you put it like that,
11:22I get your point.
11:25It was a dumb idea.
11:27No, it's not a dumb idea.
11:29No, it was.
11:30It's okay.
11:30You can say it.
11:31I won't be offended.
11:32It's not a terrible idea.
11:33Look, the problem is
11:36we don't know who this guy is.
11:38We don't know what he's capable of.
11:41For all we know,
11:41he might want to forget the whole thing ever happened
11:43and just keep going on with his life.
11:45And us poking around
11:46could put Mariah back on his radar.
11:48Yeah, it could.
11:50And it could put you at risk.
11:51I don't want that to happen.
11:54Oh, this is so frustrating.
11:58I know.
12:00I know.
12:01It's actually times like this
12:04that I'd pick up the phone
12:06and call Chance
12:07and ask him for a little
12:07off-the-record advice,
12:09but I can't do that anymore.
12:13There has just been so much death
12:15and loss lately.
12:18And I honestly thought
12:20we were on the other side of it.
12:21But somehow it's worse
12:22because we don't know what happened.
12:25I mean, Mariah's not a killer.
12:27She's a sweet and wonderful,
12:29amazing person
12:30who's being haunted by Ian Ward,
12:32even from the grave.
12:33I mean, how do you deal
12:34with a devil that's not even there?
12:37That's what haunts me.
12:39The shame and guilt
12:40that Mariah's been carrying around.
12:42I mean, she was clearly pushed
12:43to the edge by this man.
12:45But what caused her to break?
12:47What happened in that room, Daniel?
12:49You've lost me, Nicky.
12:54I don't know what you're talking about.
12:56I am talking about the origins
12:59of Cain's business empire.
13:02Okay.
13:03Well, the only story I know
13:04is that Colin took his proceeds
13:06from a land sale.
13:08He purchased two legitimate businesses
13:10and turned them over to Cain,
13:13and they did very well.
13:14And that was Colin's final redemption.
13:20Colin Atkinson, I assure you,
13:22was never redeemed.
13:25Well, you say that
13:25because you're a professional cynic.
13:28But you see,
13:29you weren't there.
13:31You didn't see him.
13:32You didn't hear him.
13:33You didn't know what was in his heart.
13:35The only thing
13:37in that man's heart
13:40was pure and utter greed.
13:44Yeah.
13:44Well, you would be the man to know, huh?
13:47Actually, we do know
13:49that Chateau in Nice
13:52swindled from the last surviving member
13:55of the De Leon family.
13:58What the hell are you talking about?
14:00What he's talking about
14:01is Colin's last job.
14:04Probably his finest con ever.
14:08And there's no way
14:09that Cain Ashby
14:10didn't know about it
14:11or perhaps even participated in it.
14:19All very impressive.
14:22What's that?
14:23This self-reflection act
14:24you're spinning, I...
14:26think it's very convincing.
14:28I just don't buy a word of it.
14:31Well, that's too bad.
14:33Sorry.
14:34You know,
14:38Jack,
14:38you haven't exactly
14:39been on the level with me.
14:41Oh?
14:42Yeah, I'm all aware
14:43you've been talking to Jill,
14:44trying to turn her against me.
14:46Oh, Jill and I go way back.
14:47We do talk from time to time.
14:49Was I not supposed to mention
14:51your current activities?
14:53I thought Aristotle Dumas
14:54was an open book.
14:56Well, I'm just sorry
14:57you remain skeptical.
14:59I'm not skeptical.
15:01I don't believe any of it.
15:03Then that's a shame.
15:04Because I'm telling you the truth.
15:06There's no tricks.
15:08There's no cards up my sleeve.
15:10I simply want to reset.
15:11I want a chance to do things different this time.
15:13Good.
15:14Then prove it.
15:15get rid of this software program.
15:20Remove the axe
15:21that is hanging over everyone's head.
15:24And how do you propose I do that?
15:25Oh, I think the whole thing
15:26has to be destroyed.
15:28Buried forever
15:29so that no one is tempted to use it.
15:31Let's say I agreed to do that.
15:33Well, no one would trust you
15:35to do it yourself.
15:37Oh, no.
15:37Of course not.
15:38No, there should definitely be
15:40a neutral party operating
15:42for the greater good.
15:43Yeah.
15:43Uh, do you have somebody in mind, Jack?
15:47As a matter of fact, I do.
15:50Me.
15:50Go there, Tessa.
15:58It's so hard not to.
15:59Trying to figure out
16:00what happened between Hensley and Mariah
16:02in that room
16:02is just going to upset you.
16:04I'm already upset, Daniel.
16:05I mean, the idea of this man
16:06being in a room with my wife,
16:08it makes my skin crawl.
16:09I mean, trying to imagine
16:10what he did to her
16:12to make her try to kill him.
16:13Don't.
16:14Don't.
16:15Okay, I can't help it.
16:17Is it something that he did to her?
16:19Was it in her head
16:20because of Ian?
16:20Okay, Tessa.
16:21What demons?
16:22Is she fighting?
16:24I mean, are they real ones
16:26because of something
16:26that he did to her?
16:27Don't do this to yourself.
16:30You want to help her,
16:32you need to stay grounded.
16:34How the hell
16:34am I supposed to do that?
16:36Look at me.
16:37Look at me.
16:38You focus on what we know.
16:40Right?
16:40What do we know?
16:42We know that Mariah
16:43is safe in Boston.
16:44We know that you're safe
16:45here with me.
16:47We know that Aria is safe.
16:49I know.
16:51Do you?
16:52Yes.
16:53It's going to be okay.
16:54She's going to come home
16:55to her family.
16:56You don't know that, Daniel.
16:58Tessa.
16:58You don't.
17:01I need to see her.
17:04Okay.
17:05And don't try to stop me.
17:06I just said okay.
17:09Oh, sorry.
17:11It's fine.
17:12It's just...
17:12No, no, no.
17:12You don't have to apologize.
17:14You don't have to explain.
17:17They must have
17:17visiting hours
17:18at the clinic, right?
17:20Yeah, I guess.
17:23Okay.
17:23Well, then I just need
17:23to talk to Mariah
17:24and tell her
17:26that I know what happened
17:26and that I'll support her
17:28and that she doesn't need
17:29to feel shame about anything.
17:31Well, that's if
17:33she even wants to see you.
17:37What do you mean?
17:39Just because you
17:41want to let Mariah
17:42know that you're there
17:43for her
17:43doesn't mean that
17:44she's ready to talk
17:45about this,
17:45especially with you.
17:47Look, I understand
17:48the impulse of wanting
17:49to go there.
17:49There's nothing wrong
17:50with that.
17:51I don't...
17:52I don't want to see
17:53you get disappointed.
17:54Wow.
17:58That is
17:59very altruistic of you, Jack.
18:02Willing to throw yourself
18:03into the breach
18:04to save the town
18:05from the evil
18:06Cain Ashby?
18:07I am serious.
18:09Well, you know,
18:11I don't exactly see you
18:12as neutral
18:13in this scenario.
18:15You know I'm
18:15a man of principle.
18:17I would never
18:18turn around
18:19and use this program
18:20on you.
18:21Sure.
18:22But, uh,
18:24you know,
18:24the skepticism
18:25goes both ways.
18:26Now, why do you
18:27say that?
18:27Because I don't
18:28trust you did
18:28destroy it, either.
18:30I mean, sure,
18:31you might not
18:31use it against me,
18:32but Victor?
18:33Yeah, I bet
18:34you wouldn't have
18:34a problem
18:35using it against him.
18:38Is that really
18:38what you're worried about?
18:40I'm not worried, Jack.
18:41I'm just speculating.
18:42Victor and I
18:43are on the same page
18:44these days.
18:45Yeah.
18:45That's funny.
18:47I'm not laughing.
18:48If I gave
18:49the software to Victor,
18:50what do you think
18:50he would do?
18:52You think he would
18:53use it against you,
18:53the man that he's
18:54been privately
18:55and publicly
18:56vowing to destroy
18:57for decades?
18:58I made you an offer,
19:00Kane.
19:00I haven't heard
19:01a solid response.
19:02Well, I don't know.
19:03I could give it to
19:04Billy or
19:04Phyllis.
19:07God all I know
19:08is what they
19:08would do with it,
19:09but boy,
19:09it would be fun
19:10to find out.
19:11Fun?
19:13None of us
19:14are having fun, Kane.
19:15Yeah, well,
19:16none of you
19:16have offered me
19:17a logical solution,
19:18either.
19:18because the truth
19:19is,
19:20I don't trust
19:20any of you
19:21to prevent
19:22this so-called
19:24nuclear option
19:25because you all
19:25have your own
19:26agendas,
19:26and the risk
19:27would be that
19:27you would use
19:28the software
19:28to achieve
19:29your own goals,
19:30which is very
19:31funny because
19:32isn't that what
19:32you all are
19:33accusing me of doing?
19:34We don't get
19:38any pleasure
19:39out of telling
19:39you this, Jill.
19:41I don't know.
19:42I think Victor
19:43might.
19:44Jill,
19:45I know the truth
19:47is a bitter pill
19:48to swallow,
19:50but isn't that
19:51preferable
19:51to the alternative?
19:53Okay,
19:54if I believed you,
19:55and I mean if,
19:57I would be
19:58deeply saddened,
20:00but I was there
20:01at the time
20:02of Colin's death.
20:03I witnessed
20:04his regret,
20:06and believe me,
20:08it was genuine.
20:09It seemed genuine.
20:12Please.
20:13The man was dying,
20:15and he knew
20:16he was dying.
20:17Ah, your theory
20:18is full of holes.
20:20You clearly believe him,
20:22contrary to all
20:23the evidence.
20:24What evidence?
20:26I have in my possession
20:28a letter from
20:28a Madame de Lyon,
20:30who owned that
20:31big chateau
20:31in the south of France.
20:33how she bequeathed
20:34her fortune
20:35to Lord Jeremy
20:36Edgerton.
20:38Does that ring a bell?
20:40I've never heard
20:41that name.
20:42That was one
20:43of Colin Atkinson's
20:44many aliases.
20:48So,
20:49I can show you
20:50the letter?
20:51Letters can be forged.
20:53You don't believe that?
20:54I don't believe you.
20:55I don't believe you.
20:57And by the way,
20:58you haven't produced
20:59any evidence at all
21:00that Cain is involved
21:01in this land swindle.
21:04Joe, come on.
21:06Common sense tells me
21:08that you are backing
21:09the wrong horse
21:10if you back Cain.
21:11Cain has to see me.
21:19I won't take no
21:20for an answer.
21:22What?
21:24Nothing.
21:24Just
21:25you're kind of
21:27a force.
21:29Has anyone
21:29ever told you that?
21:30Yeah.
21:32Mariah.
21:33About a hundred times,
21:34except she liked
21:35to call it
21:35pushy.
21:36It can relate.
21:39You can.
21:41Sometimes,
21:42when you're
21:43teaching me
21:44a chord progression,
21:46you can be
21:47a little intense.
21:50It's C to G.
21:51Daniel,
21:51C to G.
21:53Listen to the song.
21:54Okay,
21:55do I really
21:55sound like that?
21:57Sometimes.
21:58Oh,
21:59poor Mariah
22:00having to put up
22:01with that
22:01for all these years.
22:03I think it's probably
22:04one of the things
22:05that she loves
22:05most about you.
22:07You know,
22:07you don't hold back
22:08when you really
22:08want something.
22:10I can be a bit much.
22:12I know that.
22:13I think that
22:13Mariah would say
22:14you are the
22:16perfect amount
22:18of pushy
22:19and
22:20kind
22:21and caring
22:23and loving
22:24and devoted
22:26because you are.
22:29I mean,
22:29you are all
22:30of those things.
22:35you're going to make
22:36me cry.
22:40Trip to Boston.
22:42Oh, yeah.
22:42I should, uh,
22:44check the lights.
22:51You know,
22:52I suppose we could
22:53give the software
22:53to Nick.
22:55Nick is kind
22:56of a Boy Scout.
22:56Probably wouldn't
22:57use it to destroy
22:58the world.
22:58but, you know,
23:00then again,
23:00he is, uh,
23:02he is daddy's
23:02number one son,
23:03so Victor would
23:05definitely probably
23:07work him.
23:08And then there's Adam.
23:10Yeah, Adam.
23:12Uh,
23:12so,
23:13I think it's probably
23:14best that we just
23:14keep this away
23:15from anybody
23:16in the Newman family.
23:17What do you think, Jack?
23:17I think you're reverting
23:19to your old routine
23:20of playing mind games.
23:22Am I?
23:24Only I'm not playing.
23:25Well, you did broach
23:26the subject.
23:28I'm serious.
23:30You're not.
23:31Yeah, except
23:31giving this thing away
23:32to any of the
23:33interested parties,
23:34including yourself, Jack,
23:35would only succeed
23:36in creating more chaos.
23:38Because here's the thing.
23:39You would use it
23:40against Victor.
23:40Victor would use it
23:41against you.
23:42And Billy,
23:42well, Billy would use
23:43it against everybody.
23:44Actually, you're wrong
23:45about me,
23:46but I could see
23:46where you're going
23:47with this.
23:47So, then here we are,
23:49back at square one.
23:50Not exactly.
23:52There is one other
23:53person you could trust.
23:55Oh, and who's that?
23:57Jill.
23:59Jill.
23:59What?
24:00What's so funny
24:00about that?
24:01Jack, you know,
24:02you claim you don't
24:02like mind games,
24:03but you are very good
24:04at them because,
24:05you know,
24:05I have a soft spot
24:06for Jill.
24:07And that's why
24:08you summoned her
24:08back to town,
24:09isn't it?
24:09Oh, no.
24:10No one summons
24:11Jill Abbott.
24:12I think you should
24:13know that.
24:15No, she calls
24:16her own shots.
24:18Including this time.
24:19Did you know
24:20that I tried
24:20to get Billy
24:21to make things
24:21right with her?
24:23No, I did not.
24:24Well, I did.
24:26So, contrary
24:26to popular belief,
24:27I'm not this evil
24:28monster that just
24:29wants more,
24:31more, more.
24:32No, see,
24:33I only wanted
24:33Chancellor in the
24:34first place
24:35to try to bridge
24:35the gap between
24:36mother and son.
24:39Because I know
24:39how much that
24:40meant to her.
24:41Let's just say
24:47that, hypothetically,
24:49I believe you.
24:51Colin swindled
24:52that poor old woman
24:53and Kane was in
24:54on it.
24:56Jill, those are
24:57the facts.
24:58There's nothing
24:58hypothetical about
25:00them.
25:00Okay, we'll play
25:01in your ballpark
25:02just for a little
25:03while.
25:04But what do you
25:05expect me to do?
25:06You don't want
25:10Kane Ashby
25:10to destroy
25:11the very company
25:12that Catherine
25:13built that you
25:14ran so successfully
25:15so that he can
25:16sweep in and
25:17steal it.
25:18I don't believe
25:19he'd do that.
25:21He obviously
25:21holds that threat,
25:23Jill.
25:24That's why we are
25:25all trying to
25:26strengthen our
25:27defenses.
25:28I'm telling you
25:29he wouldn't do
25:31it.
25:31He wouldn't
25:32lie to me.
25:33Uh-huh.
25:33There's the
25:36answer.
25:37He trusts you.
25:38He respects you.
25:40He loves you,
25:41Jill.
25:42What we need,
25:43Jill, is to get
25:45our hands on that
25:46AI software and
25:48destroy it before
25:50Kane or anyone
25:51else can use it.
25:55And there it is.
25:57You want him to
25:58give it to me so I
26:00can turn around and
26:01give it to you.
26:03Any luck?
26:10Um, yeah, there's
26:13a red eye leaving
26:13for Boston at
26:14midnight, but I
26:15don't know, I don't
26:16want to be an
26:17exhausted mess by the
26:18time I get there,
26:19so I'll just find
26:22something in the
26:22morning.
26:23You're sure you're
26:24ready for this?
26:25No, but I can't
26:28just sit here and
26:28do nothing.
26:30Mariah might still
26:31not want to talk to
26:32you, and you've
26:33had your own
26:33conflicted feelings.
26:35I love her.
26:36I want to help
26:37her.
26:37There's no
26:38conflict there.
26:38Yeah, yeah, but
26:40you know, you've
26:42been all tied up in
26:44knots without any
26:45answers.
26:46It's enough to make
26:47anyone go crazy.
26:49I know, I've seen
26:51it up close.
26:52Look, I appreciate
26:53you being here for me
26:56right now.
26:56I mean, my mood swings
26:58have been absolutely
26:59operatic lately.
27:00I don't know why you
27:01stick around.
27:02You don't have to worry
27:03about me.
27:04I'm not going
27:04anywhere.
27:06Careful.
27:06Don't make promises.
27:09You might change
27:10your mind.
27:12You serious?
27:14I'm in it for the
27:14long haul.
27:16You know, as bad as
27:17this has been, it
27:19hasn't been the
27:19worst.
27:22It's been bad
27:23enough.
27:24But it hasn't been
27:25the worst.
27:27Look, Mariah, she
27:28could have lost her
27:29life in that room.
27:30whatever happened
27:32that made her attack
27:33that guy, she had to
27:35feel like her life
27:36was really in danger.
27:38She got lucky.
27:39You got lucky.
27:42And you would know,
27:43too.
27:45Because of Heather.
27:48I wouldn't wish
27:50what I went through
27:51with Heather on anyone.
27:54But that's why I'm
27:55rooting for a happy
27:56ending for you.
27:58Because as rough as
27:59it's been for the two
28:00of you, you guys
28:02still have hope.
28:04You do.
28:05And you still have a
28:06future together if
28:07everything breaks, right?
28:09Leave it to you to
28:10say something sweet
28:11and absolutely perfect.
28:15You're right.
28:17I should be thanking
28:18my lucky stars that
28:19Mariah's still here.
28:22And I should be
28:24thanking those lucky
28:25stars for you, too,
28:26didn't you?
28:26I don't know how
28:29I would have got
28:30through any of this
28:30without you.
28:34Everyone thought
28:35you were going after
28:36Chancellor to get
28:37Lily back.
28:38If I thought that
28:39would have worked,
28:39I would have gone
28:40after her ten times
28:41harder.
28:42I knew Lily's heart
28:43wasn't going to be
28:43swayed by me buying
28:44her a company.
28:45She would have seen
28:46it as too easy,
28:47and she would have
28:48been right.
28:49So instead,
28:50you tried to reunite
28:51Jill and Billy?
28:53You don't believe me?
28:54Well, let's assume
28:55I don't believe
28:56anything you say
28:57until proven otherwise.
28:58Okay.
28:58Well, you know,
28:59I don't know how
29:00one proves what's
29:00in their heart,
29:01but I'm telling you
29:02the truth.
29:03I didn't dangle
29:04Chancellor in front
29:04of Billy's face
29:05to toy with him.
29:06I did it so Jill
29:07could have a chance
29:07to make amends
29:08to her son.
29:09You were being
29:09a good guy.
29:10I was trying to
29:10stop Jill's heart
29:11from breaking,
29:12and that's the truth.
29:13She felt terrible
29:14about what she felt
29:15she had to do to
29:16Billy and what
29:16that cost their
29:17relationship.
29:17And yet she did
29:19it anyway.
29:20Her selling Chancellor
29:21to Victor
29:22was the knockout
29:23punch that Billy
29:24has still not
29:25recovered from.
29:25Oh, please.
29:26Jill thought Billy
29:26was going to destroy
29:27the company,
29:28and you and I
29:28both know that
29:29he's plenty capable
29:30of that.
29:31I was trying
29:32to offer him
29:32another chance.
29:33I was trying
29:34to give him
29:35the opportunity
29:36to prove to Jill
29:37and to himself
29:38that he could
29:38be a success.
29:39I thought it
29:40was worth a shot.
29:42Okay.
29:44Okay.
29:45Okay.
29:46Okay.
29:47That's it?
29:48It's complicated,
29:49but it's plausible.
29:51One question.
29:51Yeah.
29:52What changed?
29:54How did Billy go
29:55from being worthy
29:56of redemption
29:56and second chances
29:58to being back
29:59out on the street
30:00again?
30:00Just by being
30:01himself, Jack.
30:03And you know
30:03what that means
30:04more than anyone.
30:06Okay.
30:06After a while,
30:07I realized Billy
30:07didn't deserve
30:08what I was offering
30:09him.
30:10So I cut the cord
30:11and I abandoned
30:12going after Chancellor
30:13altogether.
30:14Boy, it must be
30:15nice playing God.
30:16Oh, come on.
30:16I'm not playing God.
30:17I made a practical
30:18business decision
30:19to cut ties
30:19with an erratic partner.
30:21I'm not arguing
30:22the motive.
30:23Yeah, Billy is a
30:24frustration to work
30:26with sometimes.
30:27I am arguing
30:28the verdict
30:28that he is no longer
30:30worthy of redemption.
30:31Redemption is exactly
30:33what he needs
30:34to prove to Jill
30:35and to himself
30:36he's not a total
30:37failure.
30:38It's interesting
30:38that you use
30:39those words.
30:40Now, why would you
30:41say it that way?
30:42Because didn't you
30:42turn your back
30:43on Billy?
30:44No one's blaming
30:45you, Jack.
30:46I mean, and Billy's
30:47made a science
30:47out of alienating
30:48everyone who's
30:49ever cared about him.
30:50But isn't that
30:51exactly what you
30:51said to him?
30:53That enough
30:54is enough?
30:58So, let me get
30:59this right.
31:01I get a hold
31:02of this
31:02doomsday machine
31:04and then I hand
31:06it over to him.
31:07That's your plan?
31:07I think he can
31:13explain it to you
31:14better than I can.
31:16It would protect
31:17Chancellor
31:17from any
31:18future attack.
31:21It would also
31:21give you
31:22immense power.
31:24I hardly think
31:25it's a fair trade.
31:26Jill, do I need
31:27to remind you
31:28when I purchased
31:29Chancellor from you
31:30I promised you
31:32I would keep
31:33your company
31:33and Catherine's
31:34legacy intact.
31:35I think I've
31:37kept at my end
31:38of the bargain.
31:39Have I not?
31:41Yes, on that.
31:42But on this
31:43I need further
31:44proof.
31:45I want to see
31:47that letter
31:48that the old
31:49woman sent
31:50when Colin
31:52allegedly swindled
31:53her.
31:54And I shall get
31:55you a copy
31:55of that letter.
31:56I want original.
31:58I want to get
31:58it authentically.
31:59I will keep
31:59the original
32:00for obvious
32:01reasons.
32:02Fine.
32:03I'll be in
32:04touch.
32:05You just
32:06email me
32:07all of this
32:08so-called
32:08evidence
32:09you have.
32:11Good, Jill.
32:12It's good
32:12seeing you.
32:13Mm-hmm.
32:14What do you
32:29think she's
32:29going to do?
32:30Well,
32:32she's going to
32:33run right to
32:33Jack Abbott
32:34who will tell
32:35her the same
32:35thing.
32:37That Kane
32:37Nash is a
32:38threat.
32:39And that we
32:40have a solution
32:41to it.
32:42About that.
32:44what really
32:46is your
32:46solution?
32:52I didn't
32:53really do
32:53anything all
32:53that special.
32:55You've been
32:55distracting me
32:57for months.
32:59By being a
33:00demanding guitar
33:01student?
33:01No, by being
33:02an A-plus
33:03guitar student.
33:05Attendance,
33:06progress,
33:07practice,
33:08aptitude.
33:08I mean,
33:09you make me feel
33:09like I'm the
33:10best guitar
33:10teacher in
33:11the whole
33:11world.
33:12That's
33:13because you
33:13are.
33:16You've
33:16listened to
33:17me spin
33:17out about
33:19Mariah for
33:20months.
33:21Anyone would
33:21have done
33:22the same?
33:22Oh, yeah.
33:23People were
33:24clamoring to
33:25listen to me.
33:26People who
33:27would also
33:27help me
33:27entertain
33:28Aria when
33:28I was at
33:29the end
33:29of my
33:29rope.
33:31And saved
33:32me from
33:33a fussing
33:33daughter with
33:34cloud magic
33:35and gummy
33:36bears.
33:36That was
33:38my pleasure.
33:39You dropped
33:40everything
33:41to come
33:43with me on
33:43a who-knows-what-
33:44we're-going-to-find
33:44investigation.
33:46I'm not going
33:46to let you do
33:47something that
33:47dangerous on
33:48your own.
33:48And what we
33:49found was
33:49disturbing.
33:53No one who
33:54freaked you out
33:54by saying that
33:55the guy might
33:55come after
33:56your wife.
33:57Daniel,
33:57stop making
33:58light of this.
33:59It has been a
34:00hell of a
34:00last few months.
34:02You're right.
34:03It has.
34:05And I-I
34:06shouldn't make
34:07light of it
34:07and I shouldn't
34:08tease, but
34:09you know, I'm
34:11just happy that
34:11I could be
34:12there for you.
34:16Daniel, I
34:16want you to
34:17stop being so
34:17modest.
34:19And I want
34:20you to hear
34:20me.
34:22Okay.
34:24You've been
34:25a lifesaver.
34:30You've been
34:31more than
34:31just a friend.
34:34You've been
34:35my best friend.
34:44This is the
34:45first I'm hearing
34:46about you
34:47planning to
34:47get a hold
34:48of the AI
34:48program yourself.
34:49Yeah, well,
34:51just to make
34:51sure that neither
34:52Newman or
34:52Chancellor
34:53ever threatened
34:54again.
34:55So you
34:56would destroy
34:56it?
34:58Well,
34:59I don't know.
35:01don't have to
35:03destroy it as
35:03long as
35:04Cain Ashby
35:06believes it's
35:07destroyed.
35:09As long as
35:10he believes it,
35:12I've accomplished
35:13my purpose.
35:14I'm not talking
35:15about Cain,
35:16I'm talking
35:17about you.
35:19Are you
35:20really planning
35:21on destroying
35:22it?
35:23Or are you
35:24thinking of
35:25maybe using
35:26it for your
35:27benefit against,
35:29oh, I don't
35:30know,
35:31Chabot?
35:33Is that what
35:34this is all
35:34about?
35:36Did you
35:37team up
35:37with Jack
35:38as a ploy
35:40so that you
35:41could disarm
35:42him while
35:42you put
35:43the knife
35:43in his
35:44back?
35:49Be honest
35:50with me,
35:50Jack.
35:51Even if
35:52Billy needed
35:52redemption,
35:53I think
35:54everyone deserves
35:55that chance.
35:55I really do
35:56believe that.
35:57Okay, fine.
35:57So I grant
35:58you that.
35:59Do you really
36:00think that
36:00either of us
36:01or anyone
36:02could give
36:02it to Billy?
36:04Like, really?
36:04How many times
36:05have you asked
36:05yourself that
36:06question?
36:06Has there ever
36:07been a different
36:07answer?
36:08I will never
36:09stop looking
36:09for a different
36:10answer if it
36:11means helping
36:11my family.
36:12Is my brother
36:13a frustration?
36:14Yes.
36:15In helping
36:16him, is it
36:16sometimes better
36:17to let him
36:18go his own
36:18way?
36:19Absolutely.
36:20Well, that
36:20sounds a lot
36:21like banging
36:21your head
36:22against the
36:22wall.
36:22Like it
36:23was with
36:23Colin?
36:24Tell me,
36:26can you
36:26really stand
36:27there and
36:27tell me you
36:29don't understand
36:30the perpetual
36:30desire to
36:32save the
36:33people we
36:33love from
36:34themselves?
36:35The desire,
36:36sure.
36:36Yeah, my
36:37intention was
36:38to help
36:38Billy, okay?
36:40Believe me,
36:40but it came
36:41at too high
36:41a cost, so
36:42I cut my
36:42losses.
36:43You forgave
36:44your father
36:45after everything
36:46he did to
36:47you, to
36:48so many
36:48people you
36:49care about?
36:49Yeah, but
36:49there's a
36:50difference,
36:51Jack.
36:51Colin changed.
36:52According to
36:53you?
36:54No, not
36:55just me.
36:56Why don't
36:57you ask
36:57her?
