00:00Hi, uh, to Cosmos, please.
00:08Hello.
00:09What are you doing here?
00:12I came to see Michael.
00:14Well, what a coincidence.
00:15I am meeting Lauren here, and I promised her a nice cold cocktail on the bar when she arrives.
00:20You are such a good friend.
00:23Well, I, um, do have a pretty big favor to ask her.
00:27Really? I have the same for Michael.
00:30Great minds.
00:31Oh, yeah.
00:33Hey, why don't we combine this party? We'll get a table for the four of us, and it'll be fun.
00:37Yes!
00:38I'm not sure fun is the right word for that combination.
00:41Wait, why not?
00:43Because I don't want to sit next to him, now or ever.
00:47And that includes your wedding.
01:11No, Diane, I had no idea
01:33Victor was going to launch a media
01:35attack against Cain.
01:37I can't say I am surprised that he
01:39went rogue, given that he never
01:41mentioned this DeLeon story
01:43that he had up his sleeve at any of
01:45our meetings about teaming up.
01:47No, it's terribly
01:49reckless.
01:51Yeah, who's to say
01:53that Cain won't be motivated
01:55to retaliate?
01:57Uh, I gotta run. We'll circle
01:59back, okay?
02:01Love you, too.
02:02Aw, Diane, so sweet.
02:05So you finally
02:06graced me with your presence.
02:08Jack, the reason that I am in
02:12Genoa City is because you
02:13called me, but I will not be in town
02:16long.
02:17So might I suggest that you stop
02:19complaining and start
02:22making the most of my valuable
02:24time?
02:28This Ashby expose is
02:30gaining a lot of traction.
02:33That's putting it mildly.
02:34We've got exponential growth in
02:36engagement.
02:36Views and shares are spanking.
02:38This is, it's crazy, huh?
02:40And this could not happen to a nicer
02:42guy.
02:44I have to say, this is the best time
02:47I have had
02:48in a long time.
02:50Well, there he is.
02:59The man of the hour.
03:01Had a feeling we would be hearing
03:03from you.
03:05Did you enjoy our article?
03:06Uh, I'm sorry, but, uh, I'm
03:14confused here.
03:15Yes, how am I?
03:16Are you two fighting?
03:18Why?
03:19Where do I even start?
03:21She never stopped.
03:23Okay, what is going on?
03:26Remember when you were trying on
03:27wedding dresses?
03:28And I said to you, I thought
03:29Michael was back working for
03:31Victor?
03:33Yeah, I think you did mention.
03:34So, here we go.
03:35Here we go.
03:36Yes, and so I confronted him,
03:39and after hours, he finally
03:41admitted...
03:42Nine hours, not hours.
03:43...that Cain offered him a job,
03:44and actually, he'd already
03:45accepted that job.
03:47You wanted the truth.
03:48You got the truth.
03:49And apparently was planning on
03:51continuing to lie to me...
03:52It's not the plan.
03:53...when I went to work every
03:54single day.
03:55And when I told him, he had to
03:57stop lying to me, otherwise
03:58there was no coming back.
03:59Guess what he did?
04:00Guess what he did?
04:01He lied.
04:02Again.
04:02Oh, she conveniently forgets to
04:04mention that I arranged this
04:05beautiful evening to celebrate
04:06our love.
04:08You manipulated me.
04:10Oh, and by the way, it wasn't
04:12just a job with Cain.
04:14That would have been too simple.
04:16No, it was one of Victor's
04:18schemes to infiltrate Cain's
04:21camp to see what he was up to.
04:23Cain fired me before I even got
04:24started.
04:24So, you know what?
04:25There's nothing to see here.
04:26It's moot point.
04:27Really?
04:28There's nothing moot here.
04:29There's plenty to see.
04:30Because every time you tell me
04:32that you are over, that you are
04:34done with Victor forever, all he
04:37does is he just snaps his little
04:38fingers and you go running to be
04:41by his side.
04:42That is unfair.
04:44I was trying to help all the people
04:45of General City, not just Victor.
04:47People we know, people we care about
04:49are threatened by Cain's plan.
04:52How dare you?
04:53How dare you?
04:54You knocked me for trying to
04:56avert a disaster.
05:02You're planning your departure.
05:04I thought you would be in town
05:05for a while.
05:06Oh, you know, place to go,
05:08people to see.
05:09Billy and Cain are both in crisis
05:12and you're going to leave town
05:14to take care of your to-do list.
05:16I am planning a trip to London
05:18to have some medical procedures.
05:21Nothing to be concerned.
05:23But I am concerned.
05:25How are you faring
05:27in your new treatment?
05:28You look fine?
05:30Well, thank you.
05:30I feel fine.
05:31Snapper's taking very good care of me.
05:33I'm glad to hear that,
05:35but I'm worried that the stress
05:37of what you're dealing with right now
05:38might not be good for your heart.
05:40Did I make a mistake
05:40in involving you?
05:42Oh, Jack, for heaven's sake,
05:43I'm not about to keel over.
05:45My heart is just fine, okay?
05:47Except my son's slings and arrows
05:50aren't doing it any good.
05:52You still haven't made any progress
05:53in reaching Billy.
05:55If your plan was a mother and son reunion,
06:00it was a big, fat failure.
06:03I'm sorry to hear that.
06:05Billy was upset that I went
06:07straight to Cain and not him.
06:09and things got really, really uncomfortable
06:13and then Billy just walked out
06:14and I haven't been able
06:16to get a hold of him since.
06:17Yeah, believe me,
06:18I know how Billy deals
06:20with sibling rivalry.
06:24Well, you seem very pleased with yourself.
06:28You have no idea.
06:30You know, it's journalism at its finest.
06:33Is it?
06:34I have to admit,
06:35I'm surprised to see you here.
06:38Did you want to go on the record?
06:39Maybe we could
06:40get a comment or two
06:41while you're here.
06:45No comment it is.
06:47And look, I don't blame you.
06:49You know, we did kind of shred
06:50your whole great and powerful
06:52Aristotle Dumas thing
06:54that you've been parading around.
06:56The mysterious billionaire
06:57is nothing more than
06:58a sleazy con man's sleazy son.
07:01Adam.
07:03Just stating the facts.
07:07Were you just going to stare at us
07:08or were you actually going to
07:09say something?
07:11It was quite an interesting piece.
07:15It wasn't so hard, was it?
07:16A fiction.
07:18I can understand why
07:19that would be your take.
07:20It's pretty damning stuff.
07:22So deny and deflect.
07:24But I get it.
07:25You know, you must be frightened.
07:27There's a lot of haters out there.
07:28There is nothing people hate more
07:31than a rich guy
07:32who made his billions
07:33screwing over the average Joe
07:34and then acting like they are
07:36the end all and be all.
07:38You seem to really be enjoying yourself.
07:41You have no idea.
07:43Well, I hate to bring you down,
07:44but I just wanted to stop by
07:45and tell you face to face
07:46that I am going to be suing the hell
07:48out of Newman Media for defamation.
07:50I wish that Billy didn't see
07:57everything as a competition
07:59with Cain, thank you.
08:00Or with me.
08:01No, if we're being
08:02completely candid here,
08:03the fracture between you
08:04and Billy is far bigger
08:06than any rivalry
08:07he has with Cain.
08:09No, he has reason
08:10to be upset with you, Joe.
08:12What happened to your opinion
08:14staying neutral
08:15on this rift
08:16between mother and son?
08:18Well, that was on the phone.
08:19I was trying to lure you here.
08:20Okay, I know that
08:22selling Chancellor
08:23hurt him, okay,
08:24but I didn't see
08:26any other choice.
08:28It's the way you did it.
08:30Everything he needed
08:31to prove to you,
08:32to the world,
08:33to himself,
08:35was tied up in that company.
08:37You yanked it out
08:38from under him
08:39without any warning,
08:40exposing him to
08:41Victor's ridicule.
08:42What did you think
08:43was going to happen?
08:44Okay, I could have
08:45handled it better.
08:46I know that.
08:47understood.
08:49But I stand
08:50by my decision.
08:51Even if the rift
08:52only widens.
08:54Why can't he just
08:55see me as the mother
08:56who loves him?
08:59Look, I'll do my best
09:00to talk to him,
09:02but you have to know,
09:04the two of us
09:06are on rocky ground
09:07as well.
09:08Well, yeah.
09:09I mean, that's
09:10Billy's whole thing,
09:11isn't it?
09:12He's always at odds
09:13with the world.
09:13He's at odds
09:14with his family,
09:15the people
09:15who love him.
09:18I just don't know
09:19what to do about it.
09:21Believe me,
09:22I know how you feel.
09:23Very recently,
09:24I determined
09:25that the only way
09:26to deal with Billy,
09:27the only option left,
09:29is to cut him loose.
09:30Let him sink
09:32or swim on his own.
09:33Oh, Jack.
09:35Come on,
09:35I know
09:36that temptation.
09:38But let's face it,
09:39you and I
09:40could never
09:40cut Billy loose.
09:43I mean,
09:43you can't turn
09:44your back
09:44on family,
09:45can you?
09:46Especially
09:46the ones
09:47who need you
09:48the most.
09:53Suing for defamation?
09:56Why am I not surprised?
09:58Well, you leave me
09:59much of a choice.
10:00Not to do so
10:01would be an admission
10:01of guilt.
10:02Do you really expect
10:03us to believe
10:03you're innocent
10:04in all this?
10:05You had no idea
10:06how your father
10:06acquired the Deleon estate.
10:08Well, as far as
10:08I'm concerned,
10:09it was all legitimate.
10:10Because Colin said so?
10:12Yes, Chelsea.
10:13Come on.
10:13How many scams
10:14did that guy run?
10:15How many people
10:15did he swindle
10:16and you just
10:17believed him?
10:18Oh, people can change.
10:19My father was proof of that.
10:20Or you're a sucker.
10:21Yeah, what about you, Adam?
10:23Are you a sucker?
10:24It's Chelsea here.
10:25Sorry, no disrespect,
10:27but you've got
10:28quite a colorful history.
10:30Yeah, well,
10:30what do you think?
10:31How many calls
10:32did you pull off
10:32back in the day?
10:33You don't need to
10:33tell Chelsea.
10:35It's okay.
10:35I'm just saying,
10:37you know,
10:37I'm asking you
10:38to give my father
10:38the same benefit
10:39of the doubt
10:39that you and
10:40everyone else
10:41in this town
10:41has given Chelsea.
10:45We stand
10:46by our story.
10:48Curious,
10:48did either of you
10:50bother to do
10:50any fact-checking?
10:52We have the letter.
10:53Yeah, sure,
10:54a letter.
10:54But do you have
10:55any real sources
10:56or any real proof
10:57that can tie me
10:58to my father's
10:59alleged scam
10:59against Madame Deleon?
11:00or are you just
11:01blindly following
11:02your daddy's orders?
11:06Michael Baldwin,
11:08the Caped Crusader.
11:10Have I told you
11:11how I've just had it
11:12with that argument?
11:13It is not an argument.
11:15It's a fact.
11:17Kane Ashby
11:18has the ability
11:19to crush companies,
11:20the livelihoods
11:21of people we know,
11:22people we care about.
11:23It was my duty
11:24to put a stop to it.
11:25Oh, was it your duty
11:26to lie to me?
11:28I explained all that
11:29to you.
11:29I explained all that
11:30to you.
11:30Oh, oh,
11:31don't say protect me.
11:32Don't say that.
11:34Otherwise,
11:34I'm going to leave.
11:35I'm just going
11:35to walk out the door.
11:36No, better yet,
11:37I'll walk.
11:39I'm not going
11:39to listen to all this.
11:40Wait, wait.
11:41Have a good evening.
11:41You know what?
11:42Let's all just,
11:43let's take a deep breath.
11:45Okay?
11:45Take a big deep breath.
11:47It's hard to do that
11:47when someone is taking
11:48up all the oxygen
11:49in the room.
11:51I'm out of here.
11:52No, no, no.
11:53No, just sit.
11:54Fine, fine.
12:00Yeah, good, good.
12:02Why don't,
12:03why don't we have
12:03a little chat
12:04over there, okay?
12:07Yeah, a little chat?
12:08Can I say no?
12:09No.
12:10Come on.
12:10Come on.
12:16Is this for me?
12:18Oh, well,
12:18I ordered it for Lauren,
12:20but go for it.
12:24Oh, dear, sweet.
12:29Feel better?
12:30No, that's a start.
12:32Okay, good.
12:33Because guess what?
12:34I have a wedding coming up,
12:36and I need you and Lauren
12:37to be there in love
12:38and together.
12:39So how are we
12:41going to fix this?
12:47I don't even know
12:48why this is an issue.
12:49I'm not employed anymore,
12:51not by Kane,
12:51not by Victor.
12:52I am retired.
12:53Oh, until Victor calls?
12:55That man does not
12:56take no for an answer.
12:59And you know that.
13:00You know firsthand
13:01what it's like
13:01to work for you.
13:02Yes, I do,
13:03but none of the work
13:03I did landed me
13:04in a South American prison.
13:08Granted,
13:09there were in the past
13:10some possibly
13:11dicey machinations,
13:13but this time
13:15my motives
13:16were noble.
13:17Okay,
13:18but it doesn't mean
13:19it wasn't dangerous,
13:20and that's what
13:21terrifies Lauren.
13:23The fact that you
13:24would risk
13:25everything
13:26for Victor
13:26time after time.
13:29The old man
13:30is important to me.
13:31Yet she knows
13:32what your relationship
13:33means,
13:34that you're,
13:34that you're
13:36desperate
13:37to fix this,
13:38and that you're
13:39tempted to go
13:40back to him
13:41no matter
13:41what the cost.
13:44All right.
13:45Part of my motivation
13:46was
13:47to repair
13:48my relationship
13:50with Victor.
13:51Absolutely,
13:52but there was
13:53also a threat
13:54I felt needed
13:55to be neutralized
13:56before anyone
13:57gets hurt.
13:58And I understand
13:59your desire
14:00to help people.
14:01It's driven me
14:02through most
14:02of my career.
14:04Michael,
14:05you can't save
14:06the world.
14:08My husband's
14:08first loyalty
14:09is to Victor
14:10above all else,
14:12including me.
14:14What am I
14:15supposed to do
14:15with that?
14:17Look,
14:17I know this
14:17can't be easy,
14:18but I also know
14:20how much Michael
14:21loves you.
14:22Oh,
14:22unless Victor
14:23comes calling,
14:24and then he's
14:25running off.
14:26And I'm left
14:27to wonder and worry.
14:29Is he okay?
14:31Is he in trouble?
14:33Is this the day
14:34that Victor
14:35requires too much
14:36of him,
14:37and my husband
14:38is sacrificed
14:38for that man?
14:40Michael is as savvy
14:41as they come.
14:43I know he can
14:43take care of himself.
14:45I know.
14:46He tries to reassure
14:48me all the time
14:49that he's fine,
14:51that he's going
14:52to come home to me.
14:55And then I wonder,
14:56is today the day
14:58he doesn't come home
15:00to me?
15:01I have no idea
15:02the strain
15:03on our marriage.
15:04it has nearly
15:04broken us.
15:07And when he said
15:08that he was going
15:09to quit,
15:10I had so much hope.
15:13And then,
15:14he just went
15:15running back
15:16to Victor's web
15:17of lies and poison,
15:19and willingly
15:20takes this dangerous
15:22job of going
15:24undercover
15:24in Can't Ashby's
15:26struggle,
15:26of corporate doom,
15:28without thinking
15:29about his safety
15:30or our family.
15:32Look,
15:33I don't presume
15:36to understand
15:36all the highfalutin
15:37business involved
15:38here, okay?
15:39And my experience
15:40with Can't Ashby
15:40as well.
15:41I would say
15:42it's very limited.
15:44But what I heard
15:45over there,
15:46it sounds like
15:47Michael's just simply
15:48trying to do
15:48the right thing.
15:51I know.
15:52I know you really
15:53want us to make up.
15:55But to spin this
15:56as if he was
15:57doing some sort
15:58of great deed
15:59that doesn't
16:00solve our problem.
16:02First of all,
16:03this isn't some tactic
16:04to avoid
16:05wedding drama,
16:06okay?
16:07This is about
16:07you and Michael,
16:09your love for each other.
16:11You are two
16:12very strong individuals,
16:14but let me tell you,
16:14when you're together,
16:15well, then,
16:16you're super strong,
16:18okay?
16:19Really.
16:20And maybe it's
16:21because you give
16:22each other the kind
16:22of space that you
16:23need to be yourselves.
16:25I think
16:32I've reached
16:33maximum capacity.
16:36Lauren,
16:37come here.
16:39I know this is upsetting,
16:42okay?
16:42And I know right now
16:43it's very difficult
16:44to see past
16:44what he's done.
16:46But do me a favor,
16:47just try to remember
16:48all the reasons
16:49that you love Michael,
16:50all right?
16:52I guarantee you
16:52there's way more
16:53that connects you
16:54than divides you.
16:55You are right, Jill.
16:59Family is everything.
17:00No matter how heated
17:01it gets,
17:02no matter how hopeless
17:03it seems,
17:04it is the tie
17:05that binds.
17:06and sometimes chokes.
17:08And sometimes chokes.
17:10Look,
17:10Billy can be stubborn.
17:12And in case you
17:12haven't noticed,
17:13he holds a grudge.
17:14Oh, no kidding.
17:16But he also has
17:17a big heart, Jill.
17:19I know that.
17:20And I am trying
17:21to find a way
17:22to break through
17:22the wall
17:23that surrounds
17:24that big heart.
17:25I have no idea
17:27how to do it.
17:30What?
17:31You know what I do know?
17:32I know that I'm not
17:33going to find
17:34the solution right now.
17:35So,
17:36let you and I
17:37start discussing
17:38the reason
17:39you called me
17:40into town,
17:41Kane.
17:41You sure it's not
17:42too late
17:43to try to stop
17:44that train
17:45from going
17:45off the tracks?
17:49This story's
17:50gone viral
17:50and nobody
17:51has come forward
17:51to contradict it.
17:53It doesn't mean
17:53it's true.
17:54Why don't you
17:55go ahead and sue us then?
17:57Won't be the first
17:58or the last time
17:58Newman Media's
17:59been hit with defamation.
18:00We can handle it.
18:01You know,
18:01for a man with so few facts,
18:02you are very confident.
18:05Well,
18:05maybe you should think
18:06about what's ahead
18:07for you.
18:08Why's that?
18:11Madame de Leon,
18:13she was
18:14the last surviving heir
18:17to the fortune
18:19Colin and you
18:20swindled her out of.
18:23But you should get ready
18:24for the onslaught
18:25of long-lost relatives
18:26who come out
18:27of the woodwork
18:27claiming that you stole
18:29what was rightfully theirs.
18:30I mean,
18:31I almost feel sorry
18:32for you
18:32because you and Amanda,
18:34you're going to be so busy
18:35fending off lawsuits.
18:37You're not even going
18:37to get to enjoy
18:38your chateau
18:38or that cute little train
18:41you live on.
18:42Yeah,
18:43sure.
18:43Well,
18:43your claims are baseless
18:44so I'm not worried.
18:46You should be worried,
18:47though,
18:47about what I'm about
18:48to unleash.
18:50Well,
18:50Kane,
18:51your threats mean
18:52nothing
18:52to me.
18:54I hope you have
18:55a deep bench of lawyers
18:56and an even deeper
18:58litigation reserve.
18:59Oh,
19:04uh,
19:05yeah,
19:06one more thing.
19:07I'm going to have
19:07a new story for you.
19:09And because I like you
19:10so much,
19:11Chelsea,
19:11I'm going to give it
19:11to you.
19:12An exclusive.
19:14But this one
19:15will have a very
19:16different outcome.
19:16I thought you had a plan
19:27for diffusing the situation
19:28when you summoned me here.
19:30I am not sure
19:31I can take Kane
19:32at his word
19:33about anything,
19:34but I definitely
19:35had a sense of hope
19:36in our conversation earlier,
19:38the one you interrupted.
19:40Okay,
19:41what changed?
19:42Everything.
19:43Again.
19:45Since when?
19:46Since Victor
19:47launched his media attack
19:49against Kane.
19:49You haven't seen
19:50any of that?
19:51Oh,
19:51I had a front row seat.
19:53What does that mean?
19:55I was at Kane's
19:56when Lily stormed in
19:58ranting about something
19:59she had just read
20:00about Colin's
20:02alleged scheme
20:04and whether Kane
20:05was complicit.
20:07Oh,
20:07God.
20:08I know,
20:08and she really went
20:09for the juggler.
20:10Oh,
20:10Jack,
20:12she told him
20:13that she and the kids
20:13never wanted to have
20:14anything to do
20:15with him again.
20:16He was already
20:17devastated
20:18about this rift
20:19with his kids.
20:20This is what
20:21I worry about,
20:22that this attack
20:23will spark
20:24a fury of anger
20:25at Victor
20:26and all of us
20:27and that Kane
20:27might still attack.
20:30No,
20:30I wouldn't be so sure
20:31about that
20:32because when I left him,
20:34he was not focused
20:35on revenge.
20:36He was focused
20:37on what he could do
20:38to get his kids back.
20:40It doesn't mean
20:41he won't still come
20:42after the people
20:42he thinks are responsible
20:43for this attack,
20:44which,
20:45by the way,
20:46I had nothing
20:47to do with.
20:49No,
20:49I was as caught off guard
20:50as everybody else
20:51by this hippie.
20:52This story of Victor
20:53kept up his sleeve.
20:56God,
20:56just when I thought
20:57there was a chance
20:57at peace,
20:59Victor has escalated
21:00this war
21:00to a new level
21:01of uncertainty.
21:03No,
21:04Kane
21:04is angry,
21:06but I don't think
21:07he's dangerous.
21:08Well,
21:08I wish I was
21:09as optimistic
21:10as you are.
21:11Well,
21:11I can't guarantee this,
21:12okay,
21:13but I think
21:13I made him see
21:14that he needs
21:16to do whatever
21:17he can
21:18to make amends
21:19to Lily
21:19and the kids
21:20and not go
21:22after some
21:23perceived enemies.
21:27A story
21:28with a different outcome,
21:30what's that supposed
21:31to mean?
21:32Are you going
21:32to be a hero
21:33instead of the villain?
21:36Are you going
21:36to save a kitty
21:37from a burning building
21:38or find some cure
21:40for some disease?
21:41I don't know,
21:42there's so many options.
21:43Okay,
21:43well,
21:44here's one.
21:45If you want
21:45to actually do
21:46something noble
21:47and good,
21:50how about you
21:50give up that
21:51AI program
21:51of yours
21:52once and for all?
21:53What,
21:53are you and your
21:54father still
21:54panicked over that?
21:55Oh,
21:55no,
21:55we're ready
21:56for whatever
21:57you throw at us.
21:59You have a funny
22:00way of not
22:00poking the bear.
22:03We'll speak soon.
22:05Bye,
22:05Chelsea.
22:07Yeah,
22:07we sure will.
22:09He was,
22:10uh,
22:10cool,
22:11I'll give him that.
22:14It was an act.
22:14Ray,
22:15his credibility
22:16has taken a major hit
22:17and the story
22:19hasn't even got it
22:19started.
22:20I mean,
22:20once it peaks,
22:21good luck
22:23trying to salvage
22:23whatever reputation
22:24he has left.
22:26Whatever he was
22:26saying about this
22:27new story,
22:28it was bizarre.
22:30What do you think
22:31he's up to?
22:32I'm not sure,
22:33but it's definitely
22:35something along
22:36run by my father.
22:39I know what
22:39you're trying to do.
22:41What?
22:41You think
22:43if I start
22:43talking about
22:44all the things
22:45that I love
22:45about Michael,
22:46I'm not going
22:47to be as ticked
22:48off at him?
22:49But it's not
22:50going to work.
22:51And why not?
22:52Because he deserves
22:53every bit of the
22:55cold shoulder
22:55that I'm giving him
22:56and I just,
22:57I need to wallow
22:58in my anger
22:59a little bit more.
23:00And you know what?
23:00You are so cute
23:01when you wallow.
23:02You really are,
23:03by the way.
23:04But I'm not going
23:04to let you off
23:05that easily.
23:05Nope.
23:06All right,
23:07so I will start.
23:09Things I love
23:10about cricket.
23:12I love it
23:13when she wakes
23:13up every morning.
23:14This radiant
23:15smile on her face.
23:17It's like the sun
23:18just came out.
23:19But sometimes
23:21when we're eating,
23:22she nibbles
23:23off my plate
23:23and she says,
23:24oh, I'm not really
23:25that hungry.
23:25And then she
23:26keeps nibbling
23:26and it's like,
23:27I really can't
23:28eat anymore.
23:28But she keeps
23:29going.
23:30But I'll tell you
23:31something.
23:32I love her
23:33unwavering passion
23:34to help people
23:35and spread
23:36not just justice,
23:37but joy everywhere.
23:40You realize
23:42you're angry
23:43because you lied
23:44to her
23:45and she caught you.
23:47Lauren calls you
23:48on your BS
23:49and I think
23:52you secretly
23:53love that about her.
23:55I hate it.
23:56Oh,
23:57I hate it.
24:03Yes,
24:05okay,
24:06it has
24:07its appeal.
24:08and yes,
24:13she's amazing
24:13and she's fierce
24:16and independent
24:18and the best mother.
24:23She has this
24:24this grace to her,
24:29this kindness.
24:32she's very patient
24:34except when it comes
24:36to Victor.
24:39And she has put up
24:40with a hell of a lot
24:41for my family.
24:42I mean,
24:42Gloria alone.
24:43Am I right?
24:48Me too.
24:50Come to think of it.
24:53Cricket also does
24:54his thing.
24:55Watching TV together,
24:57she moves her lips
24:58with the actors
24:59when they're speaking.
25:00That's really funny.
25:02Do you know that
25:02Michael does the same thing?
25:04No.
25:04Really?
25:05Yes.
25:06He bugs the crap
25:07out of me.
25:08Oh.
25:08I mean,
25:10he does a lot
25:11that bugs me.
25:13Well,
25:14I'm not exactly
25:15perfect either,
25:16but...
25:17Wow.
25:18Did you just
25:19really admit that?
25:20I can't believe it,
25:21Lauren.
25:21Stop it.
25:22Stop it.
25:25He brings me tea
25:27in the mornings
25:27in bed.
25:29And then he does
25:31this really silly thing
25:32where he
25:32tucks in my feet
25:34at night
25:34and seals them
25:35with a kiss.
25:37A little weird,
25:37but I like it.
25:38It is a little weird,
25:40but I actually
25:40like it too.
25:42And, um,
25:43he reads to me.
25:45Hmm.
25:46We're going down
25:47the New York Times
25:48bestseller list.
25:49Fiction, of course,
25:50because he has to
25:50act out every character.
25:52Right, of course.
25:52Yes,
25:53it bugs the crap
25:54out of you, right?
25:55No.
25:57No.
25:58I actually really
25:58love that.
26:00Well, there's
26:00something to be said
26:01about a good reader.
26:02And how about
26:03a good cook?
26:04Yeah.
26:04I mean,
26:05he's always surprising
26:05me with new recipes.
26:07Sure.
26:07You know,
26:08when I went keto,
26:09he embraced it.
26:11And when I went vegan,
26:12all in.
26:15Amazing.
26:16And, of course,
26:17he's hilarious.
26:17And he's an amazing
26:22father.
26:25Son and, uh,
26:27brother and uncle.
26:30Yeah, friend.
26:32Get that man on
26:33the dance floor,
26:34and no heart is sick.
26:38Especially mine.
26:40I don't know,
26:41Lauren.
26:41Sounds like he's
26:42melting your heart
26:43all over again.
26:44Yeah.
26:44Hey, Cain.
26:51I'm here,
26:52like you requested.
26:53I'm here to do
26:54damage control.
26:55Cain.
26:57Cain?
27:00It's urgent
27:01you're not even here.
27:02Hey,
27:26there you are.
27:27Where have you been?
27:27Do you have a woman
27:37with my wife?
27:39Yes,
27:39of course.
27:47How did it go?
27:48Okay,
27:48so I think good.
27:50How about you?
27:51Do you think Lauren
27:51will be open to hearing
27:52what Michael has to say?
27:54I hope so.
27:55I'm sorry.
28:01I was sneaky
28:03and secretive,
28:06and I know better.
28:10And I'm furious
28:11with myself
28:12for falling back
28:13into an old,
28:14bad,
28:15bad habit.
28:17You should be.
28:20It's kind of different
28:21from the way
28:21I saw this.
28:23working out.
28:30I'm sorry, too.
28:33I'm sorry
28:34for being so stubborn.
28:37But I'm always
28:39going to
28:39worry about
28:41your safety.
28:42And the truth is,
28:44I love you.
28:45and I'm so proud
28:48of you
28:48for helping
28:49so many people
28:50that we care about.
28:53I love that
28:54you can't stop
28:55protecting me
28:56from myself.
28:58You won't stop.
28:59I don't want you to.
29:04Where do we go
29:05from here?
29:05I think we find
29:08common ground.
29:10You tell me
29:11the truth
29:11no matter
29:12how difficult
29:13it is,
29:13and
29:14I'm going to try
29:16and see things
29:17from your side.
29:19Even if it's
29:20about Victor?
29:22Oh.
29:25Yes.
29:27Even
29:28Victor.
29:29Victor.
29:29Can we do that?
29:34I think so.
29:37Anything else?
29:40You can take me
29:41in your arms,
29:42and you can kiss me
29:43like there's no tomorrow.
29:45No, it's my pleasure.
29:46No.
29:46No.
29:47No.
29:47No.
29:48No.
29:48No.
29:49No.
29:49No.
29:50No.
29:50No.
29:51No.
29:51No.
29:52No.
29:52No.
29:52No.
29:53No.
29:53No.
29:54No.
29:54No.
29:54No.
29:54No.
29:55No.
29:55No.
29:55No.
29:55No.
29:55No.
29:55No.
29:55No.
29:55No.
29:56No.
29:57No.
29:57No.
29:57No.
29:58No.
29:59No.
29:59So what do you think
30:08of these allegations
30:09against Colin
30:10and Kane?
30:12Do you believe them?
30:15Jack, I really
30:17don't know,
30:18but if anyone
30:19was capable
30:20of swindling
30:21their way
30:22into a French
30:23winery
30:24with fortune
30:25attached,
30:27that man
30:27would be Colin.
30:28and Kane
30:30and Kane denies
30:30that he had
30:31any part
30:32in this
30:33supposed scheme
30:34and I do
30:36want to believe him.
30:38Because of the facts
30:38or because
30:39you love him?
30:41Huh.
30:43I don't know
30:44if you know this,
30:44but Kane
30:45is terrified
30:46that this
30:47smear
30:48on Colin's
30:49name
30:50might be true.
30:51that this man
30:53that this man
30:53he believed
30:53was redeemed
30:55was in fact
30:55lying to him
30:57the whole time.
31:00And that would mean
31:00that everything
31:01he created
31:02was built
31:03on lies.
31:05And that
31:06has been
31:06a huge
31:07kick in the gut.
31:11Are you snooping
31:12through my things?
31:12Was it snooping?
31:15I was looking
31:16for a deck
31:16of cards.
31:18A deck
31:18of cards?
31:19Yeah.
31:20You know,
31:21when we were
31:21a niche
31:22you always had
31:22cards laying
31:23around.
31:24I started
31:24playing solitaire.
31:26And you were
31:27nowhere to be found
31:28so I thought
31:29I'd just kill
31:29the time.
31:30I had some errands
31:31to run.
31:33Where now?
31:35Wait a second.
31:36The Newmans
31:36do a full-on
31:37hatchet job on you
31:38and you were
31:38running errands?
31:40I would think
31:40that you'd be
31:41blowing things up
31:43or using the
31:43vengeance card.
31:44The Newmans
31:45are the vengeful ones.
31:49Victor said
31:49he had a lot
31:50of dirt on you
31:51and he wasn't
31:51kidding.
31:53Is any of it
31:53true or all of it?
32:01All right,
32:01Cosmos,
32:02for everyone
32:03in honor of
32:04my beautiful
32:05wife?

34:25I'd like

34:27please.
34:28Just want
34:29you to
34:29know.
34:31Come in.
34:34Got a minute?
34:35Hey,
34:35come in.
34:37Hi,
34:37Chelsea.
34:38Nice to see
34:39you.
34:39Nice to see
34:39you.
34:41Well,
34:41I'm glad
34:42you both
34:42came by
34:43because
34:44I just read
34:45the article.
34:48That's a damn
34:48good article.
34:49Well done.
34:50It's the biggest
34:51story we've broken
34:52since I became
34:52COO,
34:53and I'm not
34:54going to lie,
34:54I'm very proud
34:55of it.
34:55Well,
34:56you should be proud.
34:57We wanted to let
34:58you know that
34:58Kane came by.
35:00Oh,
35:01yeah?
35:01He said he's
35:02suing Newman
35:03Media for
35:04defamation.
35:05Let him sue me,
35:06okay?
35:07I don't care.
35:08Really?
35:08No.
35:09That's what the
35:10legal department
35:10is for.
35:12He dropped a
35:13comment about
35:14how we will
35:15soon be publishing
35:15a story with
35:16a very different
35:17outcome.
35:19We don't know
35:20what he means
35:20by that.
35:22He's planning
35:23his next move,
35:24that's all.
35:27I'm sorry,
35:28I just have a
35:29hard time believing
35:30that these new
35:31questions about
35:32the source of
35:33Kane's billions
35:34is keeping him
35:35awake at night.
35:37Well,
35:37then you'd be
35:38wrong because
35:39he is dealing
35:40with so much
35:41right now.
35:41All of his
35:42own doing.
35:43Let me remind
35:44you,
35:44his original
35:45plan was to
35:46steal our
35:46companies out
35:47from under
35:48us.
35:49I don't
35:50believe that
35:51that he's
35:53his father's
35:54son.
35:55I can't
35:55believe you
35:56and Colin
35:56got close
35:57again,
35:58especially
35:58after one
35:59of his
35:59last scams
36:00was Catherine's
36:01will.
36:02I know,
36:03I know it's
36:03pretty unbelievable,
36:05but the truth
36:06is in
36:08those last
36:09days,
36:10Colin became
36:11a different
36:12person.
36:13I mean,
36:14he put his
36:14heart and his
36:15soul into
36:16becoming the
36:17man that
36:18Kane could
36:19be proud of.
36:20Or maybe
36:20it was another
36:21scam,
36:22the last
36:22big con.
36:24It's easy
36:25to be cynical.
36:27No,
36:27listen,
36:28if you could
36:29have seen
36:30how Kane
36:31was moved
36:32by the
36:32transformation
36:33of his
36:34father
36:34and the
36:37man he
36:37had become,
36:38if you
36:39had seen
36:39the bond
36:40they formed.
36:44I mean,
36:45Kane was so
36:45proud of
36:46everything they
36:47had built
36:47together that
36:48it was
36:48legitimate.
36:50If the
36:50basis of
36:51that turns
36:52out to be
36:53a lie,
36:55then everything
36:57Kane has
36:57will burn
36:58to ashes.
36:59I don't
37:00mean to
37:00sound cold,
37:02but maybe
37:03that's just
37:04what Kane
37:05needs.
37:09Not that
37:09I'm judging
37:10you.
37:13I want to
37:14know where
37:14you draw
37:14the line
37:15or do
37:17you draw
37:17the line?
37:21Because
37:21apparently
37:22you were
37:22with your
37:23dad every
37:23step of
37:24the con.
37:24Is that
37:24true?
37:25Is that
37:26a problem?
37:27Well,
37:28it's not
37:28not believable.
37:30You still
37:31with me?
37:35All the
37:35way.
37:37Yeah,
37:38good.
37:38Because I
37:39don't want
37:39to talk
37:39about the
37:39article.
37:40I want
37:40to talk
37:40about the
37:41future.
37:43I need
37:43to change
37:44the way
37:44people think
37:44about me.
37:47All right.
37:50Well,
37:50how do you
37:51plan to do
37:51that?
37:54Where do I
37:55fit in?
37:55next week
38:05on The
38:05Young and
38:06the
38:06Restless.
38:06What am I
38:07supposed to

38:08You have
38:09to know
38:09where Claire
38:09is staying
38:10in Los
38:10Angeles.
38:11All I

38:14me where

38:19friend.

38:22around with.
