03:02you want me of all people to help you with your image
03:08thank you
03:20you
03:22I've got to tell you, this cane thing sure is blowing up fast.
03:52Just so you know, we had a chance to avoid all of that, but he turned me down.
03:59Nobody messes with us Newmans, huh?
04:02He's suing us, of course.
04:04Teen? For what?
04:06Defamation.
04:07Although, to actually defame somebody means that you are intentionally lying about them, but in this case, that can't be perfect.
04:15But Adam and Chelsea vetted all this, right?
04:17I mean, all the I's are dotted and T's are crossed so that nothing comes back to bite us.
04:23Everything in that article is the complete truth, or it's impossible to prove it otherwise.
04:31Because Colin is dead.
04:33Yeah.
04:34Ken Ashby is going to try to restore his reputation.
04:38He's very clever and very resourceful.
04:40So I'm not going to declare this to be a win, okay?
04:44This game is not over.
04:47I just find it funny that of all the people in this town, you're coming to me to help you polish your reputation.
04:57I just, it's very weird.
05:00You know?
05:01I don't know if you've noticed, but I'm, you know, not the pillar of reform in Genoa City.
05:08Although, compared to a lot of people in this town, namely one, I'm a saint.
05:11I'll send Victor your regards.
05:13Are you serious?
05:14Really?
05:15Dead serious.
05:16The reason you wanted me to work with you is because I got down and dirty with the best of them.
05:24But now you want me to help with changing your image.
05:29I just don't, I don't want to, are you desperate?
05:31Oh, you've hit rock bottom.
05:33No, no, I'm down, but I am not out.
05:36And I hired you because you are smart, you're savvy, you're adaptable.
05:40When things aren't working, you change quickly.
05:43I am very flexible.
05:45You're also fearless, which is an uncommon gift this day and age.
05:50Hmm.
05:52What does that mean?
05:53I...
05:53What are you going to, does that mean you're going to help me?
05:55I can't help but think you're jerking me around, again.
05:59Ah, Phyllis.
06:03Thanks for the backup, guys.
06:08Hey, if it was for Connor, you would do the same for us.
06:11Of course I would.
06:12So, do you and Sharon have any idea what's going on with Noah?
06:16Sharon got the sense that something was off with him.
06:19I just thought that she was overreacting.
06:22He did say he wanted to speak to both of us about something.
06:25The problem is, Noah knew Sharon was on the way out there, and now she can't get in touch with him.
06:30Oh, we get it.
06:33It's enough to make you go crazy.
06:35When Connor was going through the worst of it, we were constantly on edge, no sleep.
06:39Every phone call made us want to jump out of our skin, remember?
06:42Yeah, well, it's hard to forget.
06:45But our son got through it, and so will Noah.
06:48Yeah, it might be nothing, but I'll feel a lot better once I see him and talk to him myself, you know?
06:54Did you give Pops a heads up about this?
06:57Headed out there now, kind of feels like the kind of thing I should tell him in person.
07:02Good luck.
07:04Will you keep us posted about Noah?
07:05I will.
07:06Thanks, guys.
07:13Don't envy him.
07:14You mean about Victor?
07:18He's not going to like it.
07:19I mean, you are, Nick.
07:20He's worried about his kid.
07:22He's got to go.
07:23I completely understand.
07:26But our father won't.
07:27Pops only has one focus, and he expects everybody else to have it.
07:32At the expense of everything else.
07:35Kane Ashby.
07:36I'm not playing any games, Phyllis.
07:41I'm just trying to figure out exactly what you are playing.
07:46And first, you come here, you want to take over the world, then you abandon that idea,
07:51then you want to reconnect with your kids, and then you want to blow everything up,
07:55and then now you want to be Mother Teresa.
07:58No, I wouldn't go that far.
07:59Yeah, well, I would.
08:01I feel like I'm being, like, whipsawed back and forth like a crazy person.
08:05Phyllis, I need you.
08:08Well, I feel like you need me.
08:10That's for sure.
08:11That's because I do.
08:11Especially now.
08:12And then sometimes I just feel that you think I'm amusing.
08:15Oh, you're wildly entertaining me.
08:16You know, and then sometimes I feel like you're taking this bond that we have,
08:20and you're hiding it, and keeping it a secret from everyone.
08:25If it was, it isn't now.
08:26The secret's out.
08:26You're partnering up with the bad girl in town.
08:31You know that.
08:33I mean, that article, it wasn't kind about me.
08:37I took some hits as well.
08:39Yeah.
08:39If you noticed.
08:40I did notice about that.
08:41I'm very sorry.
08:43We're collateral damage, you know, which is even more reason that it serves both of us to revamp my reputation.
08:50So you think the spit and shine on your image, you think that that's going to rub off on me?
08:54Deal.
08:55You think if I've seen your praises that people are going to pay attention, it's sort of like, you know, Bonnie telling everybody in town Clyde is misunderstood?
09:07Ellis.
09:07No, that's what it is.
09:09I mean, how is this going to look?
09:15How is it going to look?
09:16I mean, everybody's expecting me to blow you up.
09:19I'm your sidekick.
09:20Let me tell you, hopefully it will look like you are aligning yourself with a man who's taken a look at his life and realized that he seriously needs to make a change.
09:30Do you mean that?
09:31Or is it more spin?
09:32No, I mean that.
09:34I'm on the level here.
09:35All right.
09:36The article's already done its damage.
09:37And even if I were to win that lawsuit and prove that everything that Victor said about my family is a pack of lies,
09:43my family already has its doubts.
09:46All right.
09:46And that is the only thing that matters to me right now is proving to Lily, Charlie and Maddie that I am not a monster.
09:53And I need your help to do that.
09:58Fast.
10:03So do you think Cain still has more moves to make in spite of the bad press?
10:09I'd be surprised if he didn't.
10:12I thought when you decided to publish the article that you did it because you wanted to put an end to Cain's threats once and for all, but you still seem worried.
10:22See, I'm not worried.
10:23I'm just cautious, all right?
10:25We need to keep our foot on the gas pedal to drive that son of a bitch into the defense.
10:29Yeah, I know, but...
10:31Trust me.
10:32Whatever he thinks of, I think of first.
10:35If you say so.
10:37I am curious, though.
10:40About what?
10:41Did Jack know?
10:44Was he in on your decision to launch the article?
10:47Hell no.
10:48Okay.
10:49I was just asking.
10:50The only reason Jack Abbott is involved is for one purpose, one purpose only.
10:55We want to elicit help from Jill to prevent Cain Ashby from doing something stupid.
11:01There's no partnership.
11:03I'm here to protect Newman Enterprises, not Jabot.
11:06Hey, am I, uh, interrupting?
11:14Where have you been, son?
11:15Uh, I was just at the office.
11:17Your article seems to be doing its thing.
11:19Uh, everything's under control on the Cain front.
11:23It's far from finish.
11:24Well, maybe, but, uh, I'm just letting you know, I've booked a flight to L.A.
11:30I'm joining Sharon and going to see Noah.
11:33I'm not coming here to ask permission, Dad.
11:35I'm leaving.
11:35Yeah, um, I don't want to rain on your parade, but I think you got a lot of work cut out for you on the family front.
11:52Yes, I know.
11:53Why do you think I am asking you?
11:54Listen, look, you know what it's like to lose the trust and respect of your kids.
12:01You are the one that convinced me to try to fix it, right?
12:04You were so passionate, and you really made me believe that I could fix this thing and turn it around.
12:09Yeah, yeah, yeah.
12:10Except in my case, my exploits weren't scattered all over the internet and news outlets.
12:15I mean, that's, that's the difference.
12:17Yeah, but they're, they're lies, you know, and we're eventually going to prove that.
12:20Okay, I mean, you know, you yourself said that you have a lot of work cut out for you with Maddie and Charlie.
12:28They're probably getting it from all angles, and you don't even want to know what Lily thinks about you.
12:33I have an idea.
12:35Oh, okay.
12:37Well, um, you should have prepared them.
12:40They won't talk to me.
12:42Send them an email.
12:43Write them a letter.
12:45They're blindsided.
12:48Yes, I hear you.
12:49You're right.
12:50Okay, I should have told them.
12:52You know, but then again, if I did tell them, what would I have said?
12:56There's no way for me to anticipate whatever lies and half-truths Newman Media was going to put out there about me,
13:01so whatever I was going to say, they just assumed that I was hiding something anyway.
13:04Okay.
13:05Do you have a plan?
13:06What's your plan?
13:07Well, I don't really have a plan.
13:09You know, just a, like a notion of an idea.
13:12To wait for me to appear more heroic.
13:16Heroic?
13:17Like, like, doing what?
13:19Like, wearing a cape and tights?
13:23Okay.
13:23With a big C on your chest?
13:25You're trying to be serious.
13:25I am serious.
13:27Heroic.
13:27Heroic.
13:28Okay.
13:29Huh.
13:30How do you do that?
13:32What if I were to use the CI program to do something positive?
13:35You know, something that would impress people rather than scare them.
13:44You're a computer whiz.
13:46Does anything come to mind?
13:53This is nice, isn't it?
13:55It's very nice.
13:57No crisis, no deadlines.
14:01No traveling halfway across the world and climbing a mountain.
14:05I'm so very impressed that you did that.
14:09Hey, anything for a story, right?
14:11Oh.
14:14I hope Noah's okay.
14:17It could be nothing.
14:19It could just be Nick and Sharon overreacting.
14:21Adam, we've been there before.
14:23We know how hard it is when your kid's in trouble and you don't know what it is and you don't know how to fix it.
14:28Well, I just still can't believe that it's been nearly two years since Connor was diagnosed.
14:32Two very challenging years.
14:35Yes.
14:37But look at where it got us.
14:38Look where we are now.
14:39Connor is doing great.
14:42And you and I, we're closer than ever.
14:44What do you think about Nick and Sharon?
14:56You think they're closer than ever?
14:59Maybe.
15:00I don't know.
15:01I know you're not a fan of the two of them getting back together.
15:04I am not a fan of Sharon getting hurt.
15:09And that seems to happen every time she and Nick are a couple.
15:12Well, we were able to figure it out.
15:14Maybe they will too.
15:17Maybe.
15:17Oh, hey.
15:20Hi, you two.
15:21Hi.
15:22Taking a well-deserved break from the Kane-Ashby saga?
15:26We're enjoying a little quiet time before it all hits the fan again.
15:30And it will.
15:33What brings you by?
15:34I'm just grabbing some takeout for me and the kids.
15:36Huh.
15:38I assume you talked to our father?
15:41I was at the ranch for another long strategy session about what Kane's next move might be.
15:46Never stops, does he?
15:47No, he's like a shark in the water.
15:50Hey, you didn't happen to see Nick there, did you?
15:52No, why?
15:53What's up?
15:54He's worried about Noah, so he's flying to L.A.
15:58He went by to break the news to Dad.
16:01That should go over well.
16:05Why do you have to brush off?
16:07Is Noah all right?
16:09He may be.
16:10I don't know.
16:10The last few times Sharon and I talked to him, it seems like something's going on with him.
16:14What is Sharon with him now?
16:16She's in L.A., but she hasn't been able to get a hold of him, and she's worried.
16:20I need to go check on him myself.
16:22That son, wasn't Noah about to build some club in L.A.?
16:25That's a daunting task.
16:29Won't you allow him to solve his problems on his own?
16:32Would you do that?
16:33Yeah, I've done it many times.
16:35No, you wouldn't, Dad.
16:36You would go if you thought your kids needed you.
16:40Oh, yeah, you're right.
16:43Hmm.
16:44Well, all I can tell you is we're facing some difficult times here.
16:50We don't know how Kane asked who's going to respond to the article.
16:53And you would prefer I stay home for that?
16:59Yeah.
16:59You're digging your heels in on this?
17:08Frankly, neither can I.
17:10Wait a minute, son.
17:12I'm urging you to say I'm not insisting on it.
17:15Is there a difference?
17:17No, not really.
17:20May I ask you something?
17:22Do you think you may be overreacting to what's happening with Noah?
17:25Is there a chance you are?
17:28What do you mean?
17:30You know, we treat Kane like he's this damn boogeyman.
17:34He dominates every minute of our lives.
17:36I'm sick of it.
17:37You know, we sit around plotting and waiting for him to do something.
17:41Son, he will do something.
17:43Maybe he does.
17:44No maybes.
17:45As long as he has that software in his hand, it'll embolden him and he may do something drastic.
17:53Well, maybe you should have thought of that, Dad, before you had Adam put out that story.
17:58Son, if Kane Ashby feels that we are not united in this, he will go ahead and use it.
18:07I want us to stand up against him as a family.
18:09Son, if Kane Ashby feels that we are not united in this, he will go ahead and use it as a family.
18:15Huh.
18:18Huh.
18:19Huh, that's it?
18:20That's your response?
18:20Yeah, I just wasn't thinking of going the AI route, um, you know, to change your reputation, that's all.
18:27Okay, well, do you have any other ideas?
18:30Hmm.
18:32Yeah.
18:32I mean, I was thinking maybe you could make a large donation to a charity or help endangered species or something.
18:41Throwing money at cockatoos isn't going to fix it.
18:43I just don't understand, um, that you, you want to use a program that was created to take over all the major companies in Genoa City.
18:52You want to use that for good now?
18:55Yeah, that's why I need you.
18:56That's why I need that, that, that big, beautiful brain.
18:58Okay, well, my big, beautiful brain thought that we were going to use this program to get something for ourselves.
19:07Yeah, we are.
19:08A reputation.
19:09A new one for me.
19:11How would it even work?
19:13I mean, what, what do I do?
19:16Uh, I, I, I plant something to, to change the story?
19:22We, we, rewrite history?
19:24I mean, it's too late for that.
19:27They would know that I was behind that.
19:29What do you have in mind?
19:31Something proactive.
19:34Something that will elevate me in the public eye.
19:38Are you that rattled about what people think about you?
19:42Wait, no one likes to be the villain.
19:44Some people like to be the villain.
19:46They do.
19:47Some people like it.
19:48And, and you've been doing a great job impersonating the villain.
19:53Are you that thin skinned?
19:54Everything that I've created is at, is at risk here.
19:57All right?
19:59Contracts are being canceled.
20:00My businesses are suffering.
20:02Everything that I've built is being called into question.
20:05So you're damn right I want to change the narrative.
20:08Let me tell you something.
20:09Even if I could fix all of this, I would give it all up in a second.
20:16The businesses, the power, the money, all of it.
20:19I would give all of it up to reconnect with Lily and my children.
20:24And I've explained this to you over and over again.
20:27And you sit there and you ask me these stupid questions.
20:31So are you going to help me or not?
20:41Is everything okay?
20:44Um, yeah.
20:44No, everything's fine.
20:45And that was just Katie reminding me that she and her brother are having dinner with Billy tonight.
20:50I completely forgot.
20:52Oh, well, then why don't you join us?
20:54No.
20:55I already ordered takeouts.
20:57Well, come on.
20:58Why don't you cancel takeout and sit with us?
21:02I mean, I could use the company if you're sure that I'm not imposing.
21:05Of course.
21:06We insist.
21:07What?
21:09I honestly, I just don't know where my mind is these days.
21:12I hear people talking, but I guess I'm just not listening.
21:17I mean, the kids are always pointing that out.
21:22I just need to snap out of it, I think.
21:25Victoria, you've been going through a really hard time.
21:29It comes and goes.
21:30You know, I miss Cole.
21:31And, uh, now my teenage kids are not going to be joining me for dinner tonight, so I just get a little lonely sometimes.
21:39No big deal.
21:41So thank you for the invite.
21:43I'm glad I ran into you guys.
21:45Yeah.
21:47Bet you never thought you'd say that to me.
21:50That is true.
21:53Yeah, maybe I should play the lottery tonight.
21:55Or beware of being struck by lightning.
21:58Hey, where is Claire?
22:02Oh, she went on a trip to L.A. with a new friend of hers, Holden Novak.
22:06Do you know him?
22:08The guy that works for Kane?
22:09Yeah, we know him.
22:11He's a bit of an operator.
22:13Oh, really?
22:14Well, when I met him, I mean, he was perfectly charming with me, but I sense that there are other opinions.
22:20I wonder what Kyle thinks about her going away with that guy.
22:25Oh, no, no.
22:26It's not like that.
22:27I mean, they're not going together.
22:29I mean, he's just meeting her there, essentially.
22:32But I'm sure he's not very happy about it.
22:35Are Kyle and Claire split up?
22:37It's complicated.
22:39She doesn't really know where they are right now.
22:41She just needs some time to think about it.
22:42But I have to admit, her meeting up with a near stranger for a vacation in Los Angeles, I just don't think that that's the right idea.
22:54I couldn't agree more.
22:55I don't mean to interrupt, but can I speak to you in private?
23:09Excuse me.
23:15Seems like L.A. is the place to be these days.
23:19Nick, Sharon, Noah, Claire.
23:24Holden.
23:25Can't forget about Holden.
23:29What do you think Kyle wants?
23:32If I had to guess, he's feeling pretty desperate right now.
23:39His maybe girlfriend is out of town with some guy that nobody trusts.
23:44Doing whatever he can to get back in the game.
23:47I don't envy him.
23:49Sounds like a man who's been there.
23:53Anymore.
23:54Kyle, listen.
23:57Before you say anything, I really haven't talked to Claire much since she left for L.A.
24:01I wasn't going to ask.
24:02I just assumed.
24:03No, I'd be pumping you for information.
24:05Not that I would turn any down if you had it.
24:09I don't.
24:10Okay, well, I've decided to go to L.A. myself.
24:15Are you sure that's such a good idea?
24:17I'm not just going to give up on this relationship, Victoria.
24:19I can't sit around and just let it die.
24:24Does Claire know you're coming?
24:26No.
24:27That's why I'm glad I ran into you.
24:29I need your help.
24:30Well, I'm sorry.
24:37I don't think it's a great idea to make big business swings to save your personal life, but that's just me.
24:50Okay, well, you know what?
24:51It was my big business swings as Aristotle and Ma that got us here in the first place.
24:55Yeah, plus your dad stole a chateau from that lady.
24:58If that actually happened.
24:59It was in the papers.
25:00That's another thing.
25:01Not only do I have to atone for all of my sins, but because of Newman Media, I have to atone for all my fathers, too.
25:06Victor warned you.
25:07No, he tried to blackmail me.
25:09That's two very different things.
25:10Seems like it's working.
25:13What does that supposed to mean?
25:15You want to use this AI software program for the greater good.
25:20That's what you want to do.
25:21Yeah, it beats giving it to him.
25:22Why are those your only choices?
25:26Fellas, I would like to have a future in this town.
25:29Okay, one that my family doesn't feel ashamed of.
25:31Why is that so hard for you to understand?
25:34This is not what we discussed at all.
25:37It's not.
25:38What happened to us using this program to get something from all the people in this town who hate us and then use it for our own success?
25:48Yes.
25:49I need you to find a way to use the AI program to clean up my image, okay?
25:53I would like to be able to look people in the eyes again.
25:55I'd like to be able to impress them rather than scare them.
25:58That is the only goal I have in my life right now.
25:59Billy was right about you.
26:00You don't know who you are or what you're doing from one minute to the next.
26:03He was right.
26:04Stop.
26:06Either you are going to help me or I will find somebody who will.
26:10You keep saying that Cain is going to attack us.
26:17Son, I have no doubt he will.
26:19So far, all this guy's done is threaten to launch this doomsday software program that may or may not exist and threaten to sue us for defamation.
26:30This is just the beginning.
26:31You ever wonder if this is all he's got?
26:33Just a bunch of empty promises to try and rattle our cages and keep us off balance?
26:37And it might be working on you, Dad, but right now, my son needs me.
26:43Your grandson needs his father.
26:45We have plenty of family support here without Nicholas being physically present.
26:50You know, if there's a serious crisis, I can jump on a video call with you or I can fly back as fast as I can.
26:57And I have to say, as much as I am concerned about Cain's next move, I am more concerned right now about Noah.
27:07I have no argument against that.
27:11I agree with you.
27:13I think Noah is more important than anything else.
27:16So, um, if you really need to be there.
27:21I do, Dad.
27:22And you have my blessing, okay?
27:25Yeah.
27:26Will you keep us informed?
27:27Yes, of course.
27:29And hopefully you're right.
27:31Hopefully this is nothing.
27:32But I have to find out for myself.
27:37Oh, it's Sharon.
27:39Hey, Sharon.
27:40I was just about to call you.
27:41Nick, you need to get here.
27:44Oh, my God.
27:45Oh, my God.
27:47What's going on?
27:48It's happening again.
27:49It's Cassie all over again.
27:53Please, please.
27:54Please.
27:54Please.
27:54Please.
27:54Please.
27:54Please.
27:57I promised Claire that I would stay out of this.
28:06And I intend to keep my promise.
28:08I appreciate that, Victoria.
28:09This is something that the two of you need to figure out for yourselves, all right?
28:12So if you are going to ask me to try to put in a good word for you or something like that.
28:16I'm not asking you to lobby for me.
28:18But how are we supposed to work things out if she isn't even here?
28:20Or isn't even talking to me?
28:23That's exactly what Claire asked you for, for some time and some space, which you seem unwilling to give to her.
28:28I wouldn't have a problem with her being in L.A. if she was by herself.
28:32Okay.
28:33So this is about Holden.
28:34Is there any issue for you, too?
28:36Or did I misunderstand what you were saying to Adam and Chelsea when I walked in here?
28:40My only concern is that Claire has time to figure out how she's feeling about all of this.
28:45That's it.
28:46How is she supposed to do that with a player around?
28:49That's your opinion.
28:51Oh, don't tell me he's charmed you, too.
28:53I haven't known him long enough to form an opinion about him.
28:57Look, I'm just determined to let Claire make her own decisions and her own mistakes, if that's what it takes.
29:02She doesn't need permission from her mommy to make friends with people.
29:07Except this guy has bad news.
29:09And you know deep down as well as I do that he is.
29:13Look, I thought you believed in us.
29:15I do.
29:16Then help me.
29:18Please.
29:21What am I supposed to do, Kyle?
29:23You have to know where Claire is staying in Los Angeles.
29:26All I need is an address.
29:27Um, no.
29:33Oh, no.
29:34No, no.
29:35You don't get to do that to me.
29:36You don't get to demand something from me and then just run off.
29:40I made my case.
29:41You said you don't want to help, so I'm not going to sit around and beg.
29:43No, why, why?
29:44Because you're too proud?
29:45You're too proud?
29:46Or you don't want it bad enough?
29:48I said I want it.
29:49Yeah, you don't want it bad enough.
29:51You don't know what want is.
29:53You don't know what it's like to be demeaned and dismissed by every single person in this town.
30:02When I came to you, when I first met you, I begged for a job because that's what had happened to me.
30:09Did you ever experience anything like that in your life?
30:12Yes.
30:12Kaine, really?
30:13Okay, so you know what it's like to have a burning desire to get back at people who have screwed you over, like everybody in this town has done to me.
30:27Come on.
30:28Isn't that what Aristotle Dumont did?
30:30Yeah, but look at the aftermath.
30:32Look at the mess that I've created.
30:33You didn't create any mess.
30:35You got to the top of the mountain, Kaine.
30:38Literally, you're a billionaire.
30:40Come on.
30:41I mean, with the help of your dad and that weird Carter...
30:44Okay.
30:45Psycho-
30:46Where are you going with any of this anyway, Phyllis?
30:51You're just like the rest of them, aren't you?
30:54You're just going to use me for my talents, and you're just going to discard me like everybody else has said.
31:00Because when the dust settles, you're going to forget my name.
31:07I know you are.
31:09That was your plan.
31:13Okay, give this job to someone else.
31:16I mean, you've already tried Victor and Jack and Billy.
31:19Nobody wants to work with you.
31:21And you want to use my resources to get your kids back and to get in good graces with Billy?
31:27She doesn't even want to be in the same room with you.
31:29You have isolated yourself from every single person you care about.
31:36But the only person standing next to you is me right now.
31:41You've summarized my position very well. Congratulations.
31:44I don't want your congratulations, Kaine.
31:47I really don't.
31:48I...
31:49I just want to work together, and I don't want you to be high and mighty like you always are with me.
31:59When we first talked, you discussed, and you made it clear that I was your subordinate, and we were not on the same level.
32:09And that is fine.
32:10I agreed with that.
32:11But right now, I'm calling the shots.
32:15I'm calling my own shots.
32:17And I don't want to work with you right now.
32:23I don't like the way that I'm treated.
32:26You want me to help you with your reputation and your image?
32:31Get someone else.
32:33But no one can do it.
32:35You see, you need me, Kaine.
32:37You need me.
32:38You have to admit that you need me.
32:42Yes.
32:44I need you.
32:44Oh, I didn't...
32:45I didn't hear you.
32:46I said I need you.
32:47Okay, damn right you need me.
32:49Damn right.
32:51So what do you want me to do to prove it to you?
32:53I want the AI program.
32:55No, I want it.
32:57I must have it.
32:58I demand that.
32:59I'm not comfortable with that.
33:01After all this time, you don't trust me.
33:04What if you just take it and do whatever you want with it?
33:08Kaine.
33:15I can't believe, after all this time, you don't trust me.
33:26Okay, Sharon.
33:27Sharon, listen to me.
33:28Slow down and talk to me.
33:31What do you mean?
33:32It's Cassie all over again.
33:34Noah!
33:36Noah what?
33:37What about him?
33:38Did you get in touch with him?
33:39Did you...
33:39Were you able to talk to him?
33:41No.
33:42No, no, no, no, no.
33:44Where are you calling from?
33:45The hospital.
33:49The hospital?
33:51Nick.
33:53Noah's been in an accident, in a car accident.
33:56It's bad.
33:58It's really bad.
33:59It's really bad.
33:59Oh.
34:16You're going to want to see this.
34:19Hmm?
34:21Take care of your phone.
34:22Okay.
34:22Okay.
34:26Do you know we're Claris?
34:27Of course, I know where she is, but I don't think giving you that information right now
34:33is a very good idea.
34:34And spending the week with Holden Novak is a better idea?
34:36She's not spending the week with Holden.
34:38He's just showing her around.
34:40Do you really believe that's all it is?
34:42I believe that this is Claire's decision to make.
34:44Not mine.
34:46And certainly not yours.
34:48Victoria, she's not thinking straight right now.
34:51Claire just lost her father.
34:52Claire, our relationship is in big trouble, and that is all because of me.
34:56I know that.
34:57I just want to find her and talk to her.
35:00That's all.
35:02Please, just help me out.
35:07Chelsea, are you seeing what I'm seeing?
35:09The Kane expose is hitting all the international platforms now, too.
35:12And the consensus seems to be that he and his father were dirtbags who accumulated their wealth
35:18the easy way by scamming unsuspecting old ladies out.
35:23I don't know what he meant by that other story he was telling us about,
35:27but there's no way he can recover from this.
35:30It would take a miracle.
35:32You were right to come to me.
35:38I just might be the answer to all your prayers, Kane.
35:44Not just because I'm a whiz with the computer, but because I am the only one in town who can save you
35:52from being an outcast.
35:56A physician I know very well.
35:59Well, it appears I don't have a choice.
36:01You don't?
36:03So about the software?
36:05I want full access.
36:08No.
36:11I need you to come up with some hypothetical scenarios first.
36:14You do that, then I'll think about letting you see the rest.
36:20Is that the best you can do?
36:26For now.
36:27Yes.
36:28I'll be in touch.
36:36I'll be in touch.
36:36Mm-hmm.
36:37Okay.
36:38Let's go.
36:49I'll be in touch.
36:51I'll be in touch.
36:51I'll be in touch.
36:52I'll be in touch.
36:52Lily. It's me. I, uh, um, yeah, I don't, I don't really have a message. I just wanted
37:22to hear your voice. Um, you can call me back. Bye. Nick, we cannot lose him. We can't,
37:35we can't. We are not going to lose him. Oh my God. Oh my God. Sharon, listen to me. I
37:43need you to just tell me what hospital you're at. Can you do that? Yes. Yes. I will text
37:48it to you, but Nick, you need to get here soon. No one needs you. I need you. Okay.
37:56I'm on my way. You just hang tight. I'll get there as fast as I can. Son, you leave immediately.
38:01Take my jet. Okay. I make arrangements right now. Thanks dad. Hollis, as soon as you get
38:06there, we can be there on the next flight. I will, mom. I love you. Come on, boy, bro.
38:17Oh my God.
