02:35oh you make me a very happy man now it's your turn to make me a happy woman
02:56how did victor
03:25How did Victor get a hold of Cain's AI program?
03:28That's the million-dollar question.
03:29We don't know.
03:30I can't imagine he sold it or just handed it over to him.
03:33No, it was definitely stolen.
03:34Cain came here himself to tell us.
03:37Okay, who took it?
03:38One of Victor's minions or perhaps somebody with their own agenda.
03:43We have our suspicions.
03:44Either way, Victor has the program and he will have no hesitation in using it against us.
03:49We could lose everything.
03:54Uh, I meant to ask you this before.
03:57How is Noah doing?
04:00Oh.
04:03Thank you for your concern, but he is, I guess, doing as well as he can under the circumstances.
04:13And please don't mention this to anyone, all right?
04:16Of course not.
04:18How did you sleep last night?
04:20Were you thinking about what you and I have discussed?
04:24Well, well, well, this is an odd couple, isn't it?
04:29Or maybe not so odd.
04:31Who's to say?
04:32So what are you two doing?
04:34Just catching up or discussing serious business matters?
04:38Do you have a habit of wandering around to tables where you're not invited?
04:43Honestly, yes.
04:44So what are you talking about?
04:53Is it the weather?
04:54Nah.
04:55The order?
04:56I know what it is.
04:57It's Halloween, Victor, your favorite night.
04:59What time do you need to be back to the crib?
05:00It is Halloween.
05:02You're absolutely right.
05:03And I'm so looking forward to it because Katie and Johnny are going to come over.
05:07And they're going to join Connor at Adam's house.
05:11Isn't that nice?
05:12That's so nice.
05:13Lucy's going to.
05:14How sweet is that?
05:15Yeah.
05:15I love that.
05:16Okay.
05:20Good morning.
05:24Thank you, Marvin.
05:25Good morning, indeed.
05:27Wow, Billy.
05:28Phyllis.
05:29Gang's all here, I guess.
05:30You were just leaving, Benny, right?
05:34No, I think I'll stick around for a little bit if you don't mind.
05:36Oh, you are?
05:37All right.
05:40Well, then, so be it.
05:41Should I grab us a table?
05:42You bet.
05:42Please grab us a table, okay?
05:44Anyway.
05:46Nice to see all of you.
05:58Oh, no, no.
05:59I didn't, I didn't invite you.
06:02No, I heard.
06:02I just don't want you sitting around by yourself while your breakfast date abandons you.
06:07What's up with him?
06:09He seems to be in an unusually good mood.
06:11I didn't notice that.
06:12You didn't notice it?
06:13That's not like you.
06:15What were you two talking about?
06:17Nothing.
06:17We were just talking.
06:18About?
06:19None of your business, Billy.
06:21Well, I think maybe it is, you know, because when he's in a good mood, that usually means
06:26you just eviscerated someone or he ruined their lives.
06:30So let's try this again.
06:33What were you two talking about?
06:40That was odd.
06:41Seeing the three of you together.
06:43I hope I wasn't interrupting anything important.
06:48Billy Abbott is always a good excuse to leave a body.
06:52So he was an uninvited guest.
06:55As he usually is, uninvited.
06:58What about Phyllis?
07:02We have some things to discuss.
07:07Things you're not prepared to share with me quite yet.
07:10You're catching on quickly.
07:12I've had a lot of practice.
07:15So how's Noah?
07:16You know, he's not doing too well.
07:20It's touch and go.
07:22I'm sorry, Victor.
07:23I know how hard these things can hit.
07:25You mentioned to me that there may have been foul play.
07:28Is that true?
07:29Well, Victor's indicator that a cop who talked to him said that someone was trying to run
07:38Noah off the road.
07:41You're kidding me.
07:42No.
07:43We said we were.
07:44But who would do that?
07:46He's such a sweet kid.
07:48Are there any suspects?
07:50No, unfortunately not.
07:51That's where you come in.
07:57Me?
07:58Yeah.
08:00I want you to look into it.
08:05Why?
08:06What's the matter?
08:07No, nothing.
08:08Nothing is the matter.
08:09I'm just...
08:12A little disappointed, I guess.
08:15Why disappointed?
08:17When I heard about Noah, I was sad.
08:21Horrified that something like that could be happening again to Nick and Sharon.
08:26You, Nicky, and the family.
08:28So I thought when you called me over this morning, it was as a friend.
08:33Someone to talk to, maybe even confide in.
08:36Instead, I'm just a lackey being asked to do another chore.
08:40Have we really gone back to that, Victor?
08:44I'm going to set up a meeting with Jabot's cybersecurity team.
08:46Already done.
08:47We had the meeting last night.
08:49They've already started offlining all systems and data to hard drives off-site.
08:54That's what I was going to suggest.
08:55Well, we beat you to it.
08:57Yeah.
08:57While I was in L.A. dealing with my messy personal life.
09:00I should have been here.
09:01I should have been on top of this.
09:01There's no way you could have known.
09:03I am the co-CEO.
09:05It is my job to know.
09:06Honestly, there's no way anyone could have anticipated Cain losing the software like that.
09:12It's beyond careless.
09:13Which makes me wonder if there's more to this than what he told us about last night.
09:17Cain definitely seemed rattled like he'd been blindsided.
09:20By Victor Newman, no less.
09:22No, I believe that Cain was on the level about not having the program himself.
09:27Okay.
09:27Do we know for sure that Victor has it?
09:29We have to go by what Cain tells us.
09:31We have to believe that his helping us is for our own protection.
09:35And he believes Victor is the guilty party.
09:38So we're definitely under threat.
09:40How do we protect ourselves?
09:41If this software is anything like Cain says it is, it can attack from anywhere.
09:45It's completely untraceable.
09:47I mean, it's one thing to store our data.
09:49But if this thing is let loose, I mean, it could disrupt our manufacturing, our supply chain.
09:54We are definitely on the brink of total destruction.
09:56Yes.
09:57How do we stop it?
09:59What can we do to kill this thing before it kills us?
10:11Did you get anything to eat on the plate?
10:14No, I haven't been very hungry lately.
10:16I'm sorry.
10:17We had to drag you back here, son.
10:19It's okay.
10:20Well, clearly it's not, or you wouldn't have mentioned unfinished business.
10:24How did things go with Claire in L.A.?
10:27Pretty terrible at first.
10:28And then things got a little better.
10:31And then I thought we were on the verge of a breakthrough, but...
10:34Good thing you had to come home.
10:37It's not just that.
10:38Besides, if Jabot was under attack, of course I had to come home.
10:41Especially an attack from Victor.
10:42Well, I want you to know we both appreciate very much your being here.
10:46We couldn't really use you in this fight.
10:47Which brings us back to how.
10:50What do we do?
10:51I have set up a meeting with some cyber security experts that Chance used to work with.
10:56A team from back east?
10:57Yeah.
10:58And a team from the UK that has stopped a cyber terrorist network that's been around for years.
11:04We already know who's behind this.
11:05Yeah, but it wouldn't hurt to just talk to them.
11:08Find out what to do if and probably when Victor launches his attack.
11:14You know, there's not a perfect solution or a lot of options.
11:17And the irony is, the best way we can fight this thing is after we've been attacked.
11:22So we know what we're dealing with.
11:24Yeah, but that would be too late for the first company the program goes after.
11:29And if Victor is involved, that means us.
11:34If you have to know, Victor and I were discussing Noah.
11:39Noah?
11:39What about him?
11:43Noah was in a car accident in Los Angeles.
11:47He's in pretty bad shape.
11:50Wow.
11:51That's brutal.
11:52I'm really sorry to hear that.
11:53Yeah.
11:54Nick and Sharon are with him now.
11:57Okay.
11:58Um, well, I'll reach out to them and I'll give them my best, of course.
12:03Yeah.
12:04How bad is it?
12:07It's pretty bad.
12:09The doctors put him in a medically induced coma.
12:14Anyway, Billy, so...
12:17So, so what?
12:18So, that's why I was talking to Victor.
12:20Okay, well, I know he's not going to want to hear this from me, but I wouldn't wish that upon my worst enemy.
12:27And funny enough, he's at the top of that list.
12:30Mm-hmm.
12:30I'll pass along your condolences.
12:33So you and Victor hanging out, having regular conversations now?
12:36We could be civil with each other, Billy.
12:38Got one on me, then.
12:40Um, that information that I gave you about Noah?
12:44Yeah.
12:44Okay, just keep it to yourself, please.
12:48Why?
12:49I don't know why.
12:52He just said, don't tell anybody.
12:55The family doesn't want anyone to know, so let's just honor that.
12:59Okay, you can move along now.
13:13What are you doing?
13:14I'm hungry.
13:16I'm going to get some breakfast.
13:17Is there any specials today?
13:23I don't call you somebody you're talking.
13:24I've never considered you a lackey.
13:28It's just a bruised ego talking.
13:30I'm using a word that's being whispered here and there by lots of other people regarding the work I've done for you over the years.
13:38Wait a minute.
13:39Are you forgetting the years you've worked for me?
13:44I've paid you very good money.
13:46What are you talking about?
13:49A lackey.
13:50I hold you in high esteem, for heaven's sake.
13:53It's good to know.
13:58It's always insulting.
14:00It's about my grandson.
14:01He needs your help.
14:04Asking you a favor.
14:05What is it you want me to do?
14:07I would like you to look into the details of the police report, all right?
14:12Nicholas says there was something off about the detective when he asked him questions.
14:16What does Nicholas mean by off?
14:19It is off.
14:21About the questions he asked.
14:24Does this detective have a name?
14:26No.
14:28Huh?
14:28Shouldn't be difficult to find out.
14:30And I also would like you to look into the background of a woman called Sienna Bacall.
14:37Who is she?
14:38She runs a joint called the Shadow Room in L.A.
14:42She apparently had some dealings with Nora.
14:45Any idea what these dealings could be?
14:50No, I don't.
14:52I'd like you to find out.
14:55All right.
14:57Would you do that for me?
14:59I'm considering it.
15:02Why are you just considering it?
15:05Well, there are many, many things to consider.
15:08At the top of that list would be our recent history.
15:10Look, I quit you for my marriage, my mental health, and you'll have to excuse me if I don't jump when you snap your fingers.
15:22Then don't do it for me.
15:23Just do it for Nora.
15:25You're fond of my grandson, right?
15:27You know I am.
15:28Well, then why don't you just do it for him?
15:34I don't understand any of this.
15:37Why would you let our past issues interfere in, you know, helping my grandson?
15:51Eggs Benedict, always good.
15:53A little heavy this morning.
15:56Maybe go for Tata?
15:58You know what?
16:00I'm going to keep it light.
16:01Yogurt, fresh fruit.
16:03Perfect.
16:03What are you doing?
16:05Just ordering a little breakfast.
16:08Okay, well, I don't need a breakfast companion.
16:10Definitely not you.
16:12What happened?
16:13Why are you so prickly all of a sudden?
16:14I don't know.
16:15Maybe being around a disloyal, untrustworthy narcissist makes me prickly.
16:24Come on, Phyllis.
16:25You've got to let go of the past.
16:27Oh, like you have?
16:28Absolutely.
16:29It's invigorating.
16:30You should try it sometime.
16:30Might even put a smile on your face.
16:32It's all about the future for you, right?
16:33Yeah, girl.
16:34Oh, and what new gambit are you fantasizing about now, Bill?
16:38Actually, not new.
16:39Abbey Communications.
16:40Oh.
16:41Ready to take off.
16:42I've heard that one before.
16:43Yeah, well, this time it's true.
16:45We've got the investment.
16:46We've got the staff.
16:47We are ready for launch.
16:49I'll invite you to the party.
16:50Oh, don't worry about it.
16:51I'll just use the invitation from the last party that you canceled.
16:55That's funny.
16:55All right, so do you have Sally running the show?
16:58Sally is running the show as senior co-CEO.
17:01And that makes you?
17:03Junior co-CEO.
17:04Junior?
17:05Oh, my goodness.
17:06Well, maybe Abbott Communications has a chance to be a success this time.
17:11Really?
17:11Mm-hmm.
17:12Well, thank you.
17:12I think Sally is really, really smart.
17:17And, I mean, she's so much better than that last CEO you had.
17:21I mean, that guy would run your company into the ground.
17:24You can offend me all you want, Phyllis, but I am looking forward, not backwards, which
17:29is a hell of a lot more than I can say for you.
17:30Uh, oh, no.
17:34Oh, no.
17:35I have a lot of plans for the future.
17:38And none of them, thank goodness, involve you.
17:44Let me ask you a question.
17:45Do any of them involve you screwing over a cane and hitching your wagon to Victor?
17:50What do you mean by that?
17:54I mean, the reason why I'm sitting here ordering breakfast is so you can look me in the eye
17:58and tell me that you're not working with Victor.
18:01I will find out everything I can.
18:09Well, I appreciate that.
18:11For Noah's sake.
18:12Well, of course, for Noah's sake.
18:15And just for the record, I have no intention on being pulled back into my old job of being
18:22your attorney and fixer.
18:24I mean, I just hope you weren't expecting that.
18:27You're overthinking things, as you always do.
18:30Yeah, that's it.
18:31And you not answering me directly, that tells me that you are exactly expecting me to jump
18:38right back in.
18:39Wait a minute.
18:39This is a free country.
18:40You do what you have to do.
18:42Okay?
18:43All I'm asking you is to help my grandson.
18:46That's all.
18:47And that'll be it.
18:48I'm not changing my mind.
18:53Even about that thing you alluded to in your phone call.
18:58What thing?
19:00You really want me to talk about that in a public place?
19:05Of course.
19:05You think the table is bugged?
19:08Right.
19:08First of all, is it true?
19:12Is what true?
19:13Do you really have this thing in your possession?
19:22Yeah.
19:26I'm not going to even ask how or why or who.
19:29It doesn't make a difference why or how or who.
19:33The importance is I have it.
19:38Why does it make you unhappy?
19:42Why?
19:42Yeah.
19:43Because I'm assuming the first thing you're going to do is go after Jack Abbott.
19:46That's why.
19:47You bet.
19:48Look, I can't stress enough the need for speed and vigilance here.
19:59Thanks.
19:59Well, it's almost done.
20:03They stored all our data?
20:04And increased the size and strength of Jabot's firewall.
20:08We have never been this well protected.
20:09Well, maybe it'll be enough.
20:11It's possible, isn't it?
20:13I wouldn't put it past Kane to have created a giant bluff.
20:17And now Victor has his hands on a big bunch of nothing.
20:20I guess that's possible.
20:22But you don't think so.
20:24I can't afford to think so.
20:26We're also going to need to explain all this heightened security to our department heads.
20:30That's where I need your help.
20:32If you hear anyone ask any questions, just tell them we're working on a new software.
20:37Last thing I want is anyone in the company worried that we're panicking or in any kind of danger.
20:42Got it.
20:43I also was thinking about what you just said.
20:46What's that?
20:46The bluff, the con.
20:48Oh, it was probably just wishful thinking.
20:50No, it actually has me thinking about something.
20:53What's that?
20:54From the very beginning of this thing, we all thought there was a real possibility
20:58Victor would get his hands on this program and let it loose on Jabot.
21:02Yeah, now he's done it.
21:04So where's the next move?
21:06Really, where is the next move?
21:07He keeps telling everyone he is one step ahead of everyone else, right?
21:11He's an arrogant bastard.
21:13So now it's the move he hasn't made that has me curious.
21:16You mean, if he has the program, why hasn't he used it?
21:20Exactly.
21:21What do you think his game is?
21:24That's what I'm going to find out.
21:26Where are you going, Jack?
21:27Look, I am not going to sit around and wait till Victor is good and ready to fight us.
21:34If he wants war, I'm going to bring it to him.
21:37So Harrison decided to be a pirate for Halloween after all.
21:50Yep, it was either that or one of those superheroes whose names I can never keep track of.
21:55Well, I'm glad you decided to go old school.
21:57What sealed the deal?
21:59Well, he really enjoyed reading Treasure Island with Claire.
22:03And he was really excited to be Long John Silver with the eyepatch and all.
22:09I hope that doesn't mean I have to dress up as a parrot, because there's no way I'm letting
22:13Ms. Martinez do the trick-or-treat honors.
22:16I have to at least tour the neighborhood with my matey.
22:18Wait, no, no.
22:21This is not his trick-or-treat costume.
22:23Oh.
22:24That was just for school.
22:25You know he likes to have multiple costumes.
22:28And you're sure you aren't going to give me a head?
22:29Mmm, let's just say it's high concept and adorable, but...
22:36But what?
22:38But it does include Claire, so I know that'll be a little bit of a disappointment.
22:44You know, Kyle, I really am sorry that you had to come back because of all this Victor business.
22:53You guys have to stop saying that.
22:55It's fine.
22:57I need to be here.
22:58Yes, but if you and Claire were making some progress, then it is a shame that you had to
23:02cut your trip short.
23:04If there's one thing I'm slowly learning, it's that you can't control events.
23:10But I didn't know that before.
23:11What happened with Noah really drove it home.
23:14Why?
23:15What happened with Noah?
23:17Wait, you and Dad haven't heard?
23:18No.
23:19Heard what?
23:20Well, Noah was in a terrible car accident while he was in L.A.
23:24Oh, my God.
23:25Is he...
23:26No, he's alive, but it's bad.
23:28I mean, it's really bad.
23:30And they can share and flew out there to be with him.
23:32Oh, no.
23:34They've been through this before.
23:36Yeah, with Cassie.
23:37And with Faith not that long ago.
23:39They must be out of their minds.
23:41So, what's the prognosis?
23:45Doctors don't know.
23:47I mean, Noah's in an induced coma right now, but I guess it all depends on how he comes
23:51out of it.
23:52You know, I'm surprised that your father hasn't heard about this from Allie.
23:56She might be on a flight there right now.
23:58It's been a little chaotic.
24:01And Claire had never even met Noah before this.
24:03But the second she heard the news, she went straight to the hospital to be with Nick and
24:07Sharon.
24:08She's a good person.
24:11You don't have to sell me on that.
24:13I'm just trying to convince her that I'm a good person.
24:16She knows that, Kyle.
24:18She might just be a little confused right now, but I believe that there's a part of her
24:24that wants to get back to what the two of you had.
24:26Yeah, I believe that, too.
24:31It's just every time we get closer, it's one step forward and two steps back.
24:36I mean, things would be so much easier if we had the time to just fix everything.
24:40But we don't.
24:41Other people would be getting in the way.
24:43Wow.
24:48Wait, did you stay up all night coming up with that one?
24:52That's actually funny, Billy.
24:54And yet neither one of us are laughing.
24:56So you actually believe that I would team up with Victor, a man I loathe, you know that,
25:07to go against Cain?
25:08I don't just believe it, Phyllis.
25:10I know it for a fact.
25:11Where did you hear such a ridiculous thing?
25:14From Cain himself.
25:15From Cain himself.
25:18That's rich.
25:20I know that Cain had a conversation with Jack.
25:22I doubt he would share that kind of information with you.
25:25I mean, a lie that I would be teaming up with Victor.
25:31So you and Cain still think it's the easy story?
25:34Yeah, yeah, closer than ever.
25:36A fact that I would think was driven home when, you know,
25:40he kept me on and dropped you like a hot rock.
25:44Yeah, I see that differently.
25:45Yeah, differently.
25:47Like, as in wrong.
25:48Like usual.
25:50Well, I see Cain for who he is.
25:52Nothing but a hot air balloon filled with a bunch of empty promises.
25:55But you know what?
25:55That's neither here nor there.
25:56We're not talking about Cain.
25:58We're here to talk about you.
26:00Cain and I are fine.
26:02Actually, better than fine.
26:05We're great.
26:07It's hard for me to buy, Phyllis, because Cain's AI software,
26:12you know, that big, powerful software that he was going to bury us all with?
26:16Well, you would know this because you're so close with him,
26:18but his system was hacked and that AI software was stolen.
26:26Any idea who did that?
26:27I don't suppose there's any way to talk you out of this.
26:38No.
26:39No.
26:42Victor, why?
26:47Do I really have to go over this again?
26:48I will never forget the night that Jack Abbott spent with my wife in that damn hotel room, okay?
26:57Supposedly helping her over alcoholism.
27:00He drugged her to the point where she almost died.
27:03I will never forget it.
27:05I understand that, Victor.
27:07No, you don't.
27:08I do, I do.
27:09But is it worth destroying a man's life, his family, his business?
27:12I never trusted Jack Abbott.
27:14You hate him that much.
27:16You hate him that much.
27:17Yes, I do.
27:18I know that man.
27:25He paid for it.
27:28Besides that, what the hell do you care what motive I am?
27:31I kind of have to care because you are asking me to help you.
27:34Look, this could all blow up in your face.
27:36You know that, don't you?
27:37Forget morally.
27:37I'm talking legally here.
27:41Kind of risky.
27:43Always legal ambiguities.
27:46No, no, there are not.
27:48There are no legal ambiguities.
27:50You are blatantly breaking the law.
27:52And so am I by assisting you.
27:54I face prison, possible disbarment.
27:56That's, that's what you're asking of me.
27:58And yet you're sitting here, you're discussing it with me.
28:03Sitting here trying to talk you out of it, more accurately.
28:06You will never talk me out of it.
28:09No one will ever talk me out of it.
28:13So what is it going to be?
28:16Help me or not?
28:21Are you on my team or are you not?
28:28Michael, this is not a difficult question.
28:35You have no idea how difficult this is.
28:40You're either with me or you're not.
28:43Okay?
28:44It's not that complicated.
28:45Are you kidding me?
28:45Look, not only do I have reservations about coming back to work for you,
28:50you, you, this has become a sticking point in my marriage.
28:55Oh, now I know what this is all about.
29:01Well, Lauren doesn't have to know.
29:06All right.
29:07You want me to lie to my wife?
29:10Why not?
29:11Everybody does.
29:11That's your solution, though.
29:13Yeah.
29:16Or I talk to her personally.
29:18For God's sakes, no.
29:20Look, if, if I agree to this,
29:22and it's still a very big if,
29:25I will handle Lauren.
29:27The only reason I would even consider coming back to work for you
29:30is to protect you from yourself
29:32and any other person out there in your sights
29:35who you may want to harm.
29:37Listen, whatever justification you need, you know.
29:40I don't care.
29:42I'll think about it.
29:43How's that?
29:45What about Noah's situation?
29:48All right, for him and for Nick and Sharon,
29:52I'll, I'll look into the accident investigation
29:55and, and that woman, what's her name again?
29:58Uh, Sienna Bacol.
29:59Sienna Bacol.
30:00Okay, yes.
30:01I'll, I'll check her out, too.
30:03Good.
30:03That's what I want to hear.
30:04And by the way, don't wait too long, all right?
30:08I'm ready to make my move.
30:10You understand?
30:13And I don't want to give the average time enough
30:16to shore up the defenses.
30:19When you say that other people keep getting in the way,
30:36do you mean Victor using Audra
30:38to try to come between you and Claire and Nice?
30:40Yeah, that's one example.
30:42Uh-huh.
30:42Then I came up with my own plan
30:44and made things worse.
30:46Oh, you need to stop beating yourself up about that.
30:48Oh, I will stop doing that
30:50when things between me and Claire
30:52are back to where they should be.
30:54If that's possible.
30:55But you just said the two of you are getting closer,
30:58so it is possible.
31:00Yeah.
31:00And as much as I want to rewind the clock,
31:03I also recognize that Claire needs to find her own way.
31:09And I really would be willing to give her the time to do that.
31:13Except.
31:14Except what?
31:15Holden.
31:16Oh, I was waiting for his name to come up.
31:18He's a snake.
31:19I know it.
31:20I can feel it in my gut.
31:21And after seeing him in action in L.A. with Claire,
31:23it is confirmed.
31:25But she doesn't see that.
31:26She just sees this nice, charming guy
31:29who's showing her around Los Angeles,
31:32telling her everything she wants to hear.
31:36Well, do you think there's something going on
31:39between the two of them?
31:40I don't know.
31:41I don't think so.
31:44I mean, what worries me is that Claire's never been around
31:46a guy like this before.
31:47Someone who just takes what he wants
31:49and then throws her away.
31:51And that's why I have to stop it.
31:53Well, how do you plan to do that?
31:55I have to get Claire to see what I see.
31:57They're holding this bad news.
32:00And I think I found a way to do it.
32:04Wow.
32:05Now I'm a thief
32:07who has stolen
32:09Kane's AI software.
32:11My goodness.
32:12Wow.
32:12Wow.
32:13What are you implying?
32:15It's not exactly a big leap.
32:18Why would I do something like that?
32:19For all the various reasons.
32:20Money, power, revenge.
32:22Oh, we're talking about you now, right?
32:23See, that's the thing.
32:24I know where the fire burns, you know?
32:27You and I, we're very much alike.
32:29We're constantly trying to prove ourself.
32:31Constantly trying to prove that we're worthy
32:32to hang in the big game.
32:33I can hang in the big game.
32:35And I've won.
32:36Yeah, but not recently.
32:37Okay, I don't have to prove anything.
32:39Least of all to you.
32:41There it is.
32:43I just want to know where you're lying.
32:44Your righteous indignation.
32:45It's a chip you play when you're cornered,
32:46as you are now.
32:47By you?
32:50Yeah, never.
32:51Phyllis, come on.
32:52We both know that I'm not making this up.
32:56Cain pointed the biggest finger at Victor.
32:59It's only a hop, skip, and a jump to get to you
33:01because you are the master hacker.
33:04Those are your credentials.
33:06So, you working with Victor or not?
33:15I'm not.
33:17I told you.
33:19I already explained myself to you.
33:21I don't need to keep on doing it, Billy.
33:23Really, I ran in to Victor,
33:26and he was talking about his grandson,
33:28and that was it.
33:28And for you to imply anything else that's going on,
33:31it's insulting to me.
33:33Okay.
33:36Okay, what is that supposed to mean?
33:40You're telling me there's no collusion with Victor?
33:42Then,
33:44I guess I have to believe you.
33:47Okay.
33:49There isn't.
33:53Do you mind if I change the subject now?
33:56Please.
33:56Please do.
34:00Phyllis, I need your help.
34:06Sure, send him in.
34:07Yep.
34:15Jack!
34:17Wait a minute.
34:18Isn't it a little early for trick-and-treating?
34:21What do I owe this?
34:23Unwelcome visit?
34:25You're not going to get away with this, Victor.
34:27While I was in L.A.,
34:35I connected with someone who knows Holden.
34:37More importantly,
34:38knows Audra and Holden together.
34:40What about them?
34:42I don't have any details yet.
34:45Well, it might not be anything.
34:46I have a bad feeling, Mom.
34:47There's something dark there.
34:49Kyle?
34:49All I am trying to do
34:51is open Claire's eyes
34:52to see who the guy really is.
34:54Can I make a suggestion?
34:56Of course.
34:57Don't.
34:57Mom.
34:58No.
34:58I'm sure your instincts are right about this guy.
35:01From what I've heard,
35:01you say,
35:02and what other people have said,
35:03he's not a man to be trusted.
35:05That's my point.
35:05Right.
35:06But if you take this to Claire,
35:08then it will be one more example of you
35:11interfering
35:12when you haven't been asked.
35:15Let her make these discoveries.
35:17If Holden is really playing her,
35:19then let her be the one who sees it.
35:21I really don't think she can, Mom.
35:24The longer she is under Holden's influence,
35:26the less chance we have
35:27of ever getting back together.
35:29So I'm going to fight for her.
35:31I'm going to fight with everything I have.
35:37Wow.
35:38I can't keep up with you this morning, Billy.
35:41I mean, you just spent the last,
35:43I don't know,
35:43however long it was
35:45accusing me of being a liar,
35:49a thief,
35:50and in cahoots with Victor.
35:51Now you want me to help you.
35:53Whoa.
35:54That's right.
35:55Okay, so you're either delusional
35:57or you're trying to come up with some lame ploy
36:00to get me to confess to something
36:02I absolutely did not do.
36:04No, it's neither one of those things.
36:08Why would I want to help you?
36:09You've kicked me to the curb
36:13without giving it a second thought.
36:16And now you want me to do you a favor.
36:20It's not really a favor.
36:22It is in your best interest.
36:24Otherwise,
36:25you wouldn't even consider it.
36:27I'm not considering it now.
36:29But just for laughs and giggles,
36:34what would you possibly want me to do for you?
36:39I need your skills.
36:42You know those computer hacking credentials
36:44we were talking about earlier?
36:47Victor's coming after Chabot,
36:49and we need to stop him.
36:53And we need your help.
36:56Name your price, Phyllis.
36:58Jack, you've got me stumped.
37:03I mean, what are you talking about?
37:04I am talking about Kane's AI software.
37:08I know you have it.
37:10It's obvious to me what you plan to do with it.
37:12If you're coming after Chabot,
37:13you are in for the battle of your life.
37:17Boy, oh boy, oh boy.
37:18All that bombast.
37:20Aren't you embarrassed?
37:21No, I am pissed off.
37:23I am sick and tired of your constant efforts
37:25to undermine me and my family.
37:28It's going to stop now.
37:30You want to come after me?
37:32You bring your best stuff.
37:34This is a hill I am willing to die on.
37:37Oh.
37:39I'm looking forward to that.
37:41This is a hill I am going to die on the hill.
38:42Join us again for the young and the restless.
