00:00looks like chapeau is about to have its best holiday season ever all signs point to a record
00:09breaking fourth quarter no small thanks to the success of chapeau classic
00:13would you just listen to us projected earnings are through the roof and we're talking like the
00:22company's about to be shuttered because we know at any given moment victor could use kane's ai
00:28software program against jabot and torpedo us into bankruptcy wouldn't it be nice if we could get
00:34some comfort from the fact that he has not made any moves yet but the fact that he hasn't is even
00:40more unnerving you may proceed as discussed okay sounds like you just said something in motion
00:53yeah it's a business i had to get rid of um son what brings you by this time of day
00:58just on my way home from work thought i'd check in see if there's any news on
01:03noah well i tell you i just got a call from nikki
01:07apparently they got him out of his induced coma and uh they're taking off his bandages
01:15so he's he's all right yeah apparently it was a little weak but uh supposedly will recover
01:22completely well that's terrific news i'm sure sharon and nick thrilled yeah well
01:29i guess good news all around you know just get a hold of the social media report
01:39that new media put out regarding kane ashby
01:44it's pretty uh impressive huh yeah i must say i am very pleased with it
01:54it's a total success i mean you effectively cut kane off at the knees at least as far as public
02:00perception goes it's about time the world knows what a son of a bitch that man is
02:04so now that you have taken care of kane what are your plans for the uh lethal ai program
02:11have you taken steps against your biggest rival by um as you so eloquently put it crippling jabot
02:21so
02:29so
02:31so
02:38so
02:40so
02:46so
02:50yeah
03:05yeah they're on board with the contract changes so
03:07we should be able to get moving on production
03:09right away
03:10yeah uh
03:14uh devon can i actually call you back something something came up
03:19okay bye
03:21hi
03:25do you have a minute
03:27yeah of course
03:28sit down
03:29uh
03:31i'm actually glad
03:32i ran into you
03:33i was gonna call you
03:35about the kids
03:36it's funny i was just thinking about them
03:38i uh i've been trying to call them and they won't answer
03:40i mean i get it they're still angry i don't blame them for that but
03:43i do want to ask if you think that maybe there's a chance they miss me
03:48at all as much as i miss them
03:51i'm grabbing coffee and then head to the airport so make sure the jet is gassed up and ready to take
04:01off i need to get back to los angeles asap
04:03okay
04:04thank you
04:06claire
04:11kyle
04:13i was
04:15just thinking about you
04:18i thought you were still in l.a
04:30when did you get back
04:32about 30 minutes ago
04:34i came straight here from the airport
04:35what happened
04:36did you get tired of all the sunshine
04:38i decided it was time to come home
04:41so you two flew back together
04:46i was gonna miss my flight
04:47and so my mom insisted that i take the newman jet at the last minute so
04:53can i ask claire if it's okay if i had to ride and she was nice enough to let me
04:57she is generous
05:00she is
05:01usually when i fight commercial i usually get stuck in the middle seat but lucky for me
05:06the seats on the seats on the newman jet come in twos
05:08like i'm really glad you're home
05:12could we go there
05:13could we go someplace and talk i've done a lot of thinking since i last saw you about us
05:19conversations we had
05:20i'd like to share those thoughts with you
05:23love
05:24much as i dread what's coming next we cannot afford to get lost in the doom and gloom of
05:34what might happen well it's not easy with this thread hanging over us oh that's true
05:38i could think of any number of adjectives for victor nomen arrogant ruthless machiavellian
05:48to name a few but the one that keeps sticking in my mind is actually a positive attribute
05:54you think he actually has one victor is nothing if not patient he likes no strategy more than
06:01lying in wait for the perfect moment to strike catching his opponent off guard like a snake in
06:09the grass snake in the grass of course for victor the uh grand master the master always stays one
06:16step ahead of his opponent in order to maintain control of the chessboard
06:20and you can never rush anything never so the longer he takes to make his move the more
06:30unnerving it is for his opponent the more likely it is they'll make a mistake and we can't afford to do
06:34that check how are we supposed to respond when we've been reduced to mere pawns in another one
06:40of victor's power plays only able to move one square at a time this waiting game of not being
06:47able to do anything proactive only responding to what victor does or doesn't do is maddening
06:53what if it's not patience on victor's part
06:58wait what do you mean well what if the reason he hasn't made a move against jabot is because
07:04he doesn't have kane's software not victor then who kane himself maybe he's the one on the opposite
07:12side of the chessboard maybe the reason he came over to warn us about victor being behind the theft
07:19was just to throw us off i don't think kane would go to those lengths well since returning to genoa
07:26city no one seems to be able to figure out his motives sometimes i think that kane doesn't even
07:33know what his next move is yeah i suppose we have to allow for that possibility but we still can't
07:38take our eye off victor never look even if kane still has the program he can hand it over to all
07:44money bags whenever the spirit moves him no and i am going to hold him accountable for this
07:52i am going to make him pay for every bit of damage that ensues
07:57you know what i'm i'm sorry i shouldn't have put you on the spot like that
08:03and asked you to betray maddie charlie's trust they need at least one parent that doesn't make
08:09them furious and stress them out so i'm sorry forget i asked okay
08:14well i appreciate you not wanting me to betray their confidence
08:20but i can definitely tell you from what i've seen they do miss you you think so yeah of course kane
08:29you're their father you three used to be very close yeah well i hope we can get back there someday
08:37yeah well unfortunately missing you is not enough for them to overlook how betrayed they feel
08:43and honestly the hit piece in human media made things worse i get it i know i'm i'm to blame for
08:51where things stand with maddie and charlie lily it's a guilt that i'll never be able to outrun
08:55it haunts me every single day which is the reason why i chose to abandon the ai program to begin with
09:00well was it guilt that stopped you or the fact that someone stole it why would you say that i told
09:07you that i would destroy it i promised you i would before i found out it was stolen okay well that's why
09:13i want to talk to you have you tracked down the program no well do you know who was behind it was
09:21it victor or phyllis or someone else i don't know okay so that's it you have nothing to offer
09:27well what do you want me to say i just want to know that you're doing something about this before
09:32any irreversible damage is done i'm not going to make a move on jabot as i'm being
09:38but i assume that is part of the strategy yeah of course but when i found out that kane asked me
09:49informed jack and his family that i may be the one who's behind the theft of their ai program
09:57i decided to hold off how do you know that it was kane that told the abbot because jack abbott
10:06burst in here with enormous bombast and now that they expect me to go after them
10:14i'm gonna hold off for a while
10:16it's classic victor newman let him stew and sweat while you sit back and wait yeah i guess i've done
10:26that a few times kind of a classic but you know when the time comes i want you to create an enormous
10:36distraction what kind of distraction i'll leave that up to you one condition though
10:46which is i want you to be very creative
10:58now's not really a great time for a heart to heart didn't mean to scare you won't be too heavy i
11:03promise
11:06it's just you know i'm kind of gent-lagged like i said i just landed so i gotta unpack and get to the
11:12office sure sure some other time but can i at least talk into coming back to the house to say hi
11:18to harrison he had a half day from school and he has been bugging me non-stop since halloween about when
11:24he's gonna see you next and speak of the devil there's a little guy now he's been bugging me to get
11:32on the ice he's all about ice hockey these days and he doesn't understand why i can't just drop everything
11:37to hang out and you know how it gets when he loves something he can be pretty persuasive very resist
11:44well that i can't pass up a chance to see the little guy but i'm dying for coffee so uh what if i
11:53meet you in 30 minutes i don't mind waiting but you might want to hold off on the macchiato harrison has
12:01been hoarding all of his caramel swirls from his halloween stash because he knows how much you love them
12:06that's so sweet unfortunately my dad has been raiding his halloween bucket so if you don't come
12:12now there's a good chance there won't be any swirls left by the time you do get there okay fine i will
12:18come but just for a quick visit great
12:22oh sorry i don't mean to ditch you no no it's it's it's all good i have a lot of errands to run
12:35emails to catch up on we were we were gone for a minute yeah yeah i just i didn't realize that until
12:41right now yeah well i'll call you and you know what if the candy doesn't ruin your appetite maybe we can
12:48grab some dinner
12:53i'm not sure what my plans are later uh you know i have a lot of catching up to do and i have to see my
12:58grandfather so why don't we touch base in a couple hours
13:02uh sounds like a plan huh all right well see you later okay bye
13:13ready what are you even doing here shouldn't you get back to the office
13:19are you kidding nothing could keep me from being there when harrison sees you he's gonna be psyched
13:32all right
13:34you
13:36you
13:37you
13:40you
13:42you
13:44you
13:46you
13:46you
13:48you
13:50you
13:52Look, I wish I could tell you what you want to hear.
14:16I just want to know, are you able to control this situation or not?
14:20I don't even exactly know who has the software.
14:24I have a strong reason to believe that it's Phyllis and Victor.
14:26And out of the two, I would wager that Victor has the program.
14:29Oh, Victor. Great.
14:31So somebody who's already powerful in the business world has even more power?
14:35Not that he would do anything nefarious with it, because, you know, he's a man of virtue.
14:39Why are you being sarcastic?
14:40Because I'm very, very concerned.
14:42I don't even know 100% if Victor has it.
14:44Okay, are you doing anything to stop the use of it, whether Victor has it or anyone else?
14:49Yeah, my tech team's been working around the clock to try to remotely engage the kill switch.
14:55And?
14:56And they've been unsuccessful.
14:59Okay, do you know if the program has been launched?
15:03No, Lily, I'm not able to verify that either.
15:05Look, the program is supposed to be silent.
15:07That's the whole point of it, so that he can catch his target off guard.
15:10I can't believe what I'm hearing here.
15:14Like, how could you build something so dangerous that it can take down entire corporations and you have no control over it?
15:22Like, how could you be so reckless?
15:24What were you thinking?
15:28This isn't like you.
15:29Usually you're more involved when it comes to disarming your enemies.
15:37I trust you to handle the details.
15:41A blanket directive to distract the Abbotts leaves a lot to the imagination.
15:48Well, let your imagination go wild, son.
15:51I'm sure you can come up with something very effective, right?
15:56No pressure there.
15:57So, why do I get the feeling that you're somewhat reluctant to go after Jack Abbott because of your supposed friendship with him?
16:13Look, you know that I don't relish in going after Jack personally.
16:21But business is business, and ours comes first.
16:27Good.
16:29I'm glad to hear you say that.
16:33In the meantime, are you really planning to sit on this software and not take any actions for the foreseeable future?
16:38Well, you know damn well that Jack Abbott and Cain Ashby are both planning a counterattack, so it'd be foolish of my part to just sit by idly.
16:48Are you ever not several steps ahead of everyone else?
16:51Rarely.
16:52You know, Phyllis Amos gave me the keys to the kingdom.
17:00I'm going to use it in a massive way.
17:04Kyle's flight must have taken off for LA.
17:15I hope he's able to iron things out with Claire.
17:17Watching him try to focus on work when his part was somewhere else is just too much.
17:23What?
17:26Are you having second thoughts about urging him to go back that way?
17:28I don't know how I'm feeling.
17:30The last time Kyle followed Claire to Los Angeles, we told him to practice patience.
17:35And when that didn't work, we just reversed course.
17:37Because watching him wait for Claire to make a move back to him was almost as difficult as the two of us waiting for Victor to unleash Cain's AI disaster in the making.
17:48Mistakes are this high, and love and war is just not in this family's nature to sit back and wait for things to unfold.
17:58Since there is no imminent attack on Jabot, maybe Kyle should go back and fight for the woman he loves.
18:06At least our son can be proactive, even if we can't be.
18:10True, and if Kyle wants to salvage what he had with Claire, he's going to have to pull out the stops if he wants to make that happen.
18:21Harrison, come down. I've got a surprise for you.
18:27That's okay. I'll just leave it on.
18:30Best surprise ever.
18:32I missed you so much, Claire.
18:34Oh, I missed you too.
18:35You were gone a long time.
18:37I haven't gone that long.
18:39You weren't here for Halloween.
18:40And I'm sorry about that, but I heard a rumor that you got a major candy haul.
18:45The biggest, even more than last year's.
18:48How is that possible?
18:50Well, there was Connor's party.
18:53You had major goodie bags there.
18:56There was the parade at school.
18:57Even more candy.
18:59And Dad and I went trick-or-treating.
19:01We score big time.
19:02We'll be eating candy till next Halloween.
19:04I'm sure your dentist will be pleased.
19:08Did you go trick-or-treating in L.A.?
19:10I didn't.
19:12That's okay.
19:13I saved your favorite candy for you.
19:15Come on, I'll show you.
19:17Oh, my gosh.
19:18Why is your hand so cold?
19:20I was playing hockey with Connor and some of the other big kids.
19:24Ooh, how'd that go?
19:25It was excellent.
19:27You like hockey?
19:28I love it.
19:29Today was my best day so far.
19:31And why's that?
19:32I saved a goal.
19:34Congratulations.
19:35Way to go, bud.
19:36How'd you do that?
19:37I stopped it with my leg.
19:40Oh, no.
19:41Are you okay?
19:42I'm great.
19:43I even got a bruise.
19:46I'm sure that had to hurt, right?
19:48No, I'm pretty tough.
19:50Mrs. Martinez gave me an ice pack to put on it.
19:53But I'm a little bummed because it hasn't turned purple yet.
19:56How long do you think that'll take?
19:59I'm sure it's getting more purple as we speak.
20:02You want to see it?
20:04Of course.
20:05Yeah, I better take a look at this as well.
20:12See?
20:12Right there.
20:14Oh.
20:15Would you give me some credit?
20:19I wasn't completely irresponsible.
20:21Weren't you?
20:22No, we built in a fail safe.
20:24You just have to be in possession of the program to use it.
20:27Right.
20:27So you can't track it.
20:29You can't stop it.
20:31I mean, you do realize that if Victor has it,
20:32the first thing he's going to do is go after Jabot.
20:35Yes.
20:35It's occurred to me.
20:37Okay.
20:37How are you going to rectify that with the Abbots?
20:39Went to Jack and Diane, and I told them about the theft.
20:42And then I thought Victor was behind it.
20:43Well, that's great.
20:44But they're still going to blame you for putting Jabot at risk in the first place.
20:48Look, I'm well aware of the potential fallout from this lately.
20:51All right.
20:51Aside from the fact that I've already lost the respect of our children and you,
20:55knowing that I could have stopped this thing a little bit sooner,
20:57it keeps me up at night.
20:59Well, I really wish your conscience had kicked in when you first came to town.
21:02I told you I was sorely misguided.
21:06I'm trying to make it right.
21:08Are you?
21:09You don't believe me?
21:12I don't know what to believe, Cain.
21:14I don't know if the real reason that you're upset is because you're not the one that's wreaking havoc.
21:19How can you even say that?
21:21I gave you my word that I would destroy it.
21:23Yeah, and then the program was conveniently stolen from you before you had the chance to do that.
21:29That's what happened.
21:30Right.
21:31And then you tell me that you're going to get it back,
21:33but all of a sudden the situation's out of your control.
21:36Don't you think I want control of what happens to it?
21:39That if I could destroy it for good, I would?
21:41The whole thing makes me sick, Lily.
21:43Yeah, it should, Cain, because it's completely irresponsible.
21:47I mean, it's bad enough if Victor is holding the cards,
21:49but then you add Phyllis into the mix?
21:51I told you it was just a hunch that it was two of them.
21:54Okay, well, if you're right and they're working together,
21:56they're not going to go after just Chabot.
21:58They're going to go after Arabesque and probably Winters,
22:01and then we are all sitting ducks.
22:07I'm feeling this is all going to be very interesting.
22:11Well, I trust you know what you're doing.
22:19I always know what I'm doing, son.
22:22Well, I don't expect you to divulge all of the details,
22:25given the sense of nature of the AI program.
22:29But I am curious, how are you planning to use this to your advantage
22:32if you're not going to be unleashing an attack anytime soon?
22:36You know, son, I've lived long enough to have learned
22:38that it is best sometimes to keep some things close to one's best.
22:48So you're really not going to tell me what you're planning to?
22:52No, son.
22:55Except to say that Kane Ashby will soon wish he had never returned to General City.
23:01I honestly would not be surprised if Phyllis is the one who stole the program and gave it to Victor.
23:13I mean, she definitely has the hacking skills.
23:16It's one of the reasons I brought her on in the first place.
23:18I never bought her phony allegiance to you,
23:23because the only person that she's loyal to is herself.
23:27Look, I don't think whoever took the program is as important
23:31as the potential ramifications of the theft.
23:34Yeah, I agree.
23:36So it's a given that all the legacy companies in Genoa City are vulnerable.
23:41But I want you to know I haven't given up trying to keep everyone from getting hurt.
23:44What does that even mean, that you're trying?
23:49Uh, I don't think I should say.
23:51Oh, so something else that you're hiding from me?
23:54It's for your own good.
23:56I thought I was your ally and you could trust me.
23:58You are, and I meant that.
24:01But you can't tell me your plans.
24:03I don't want to disappoint you again, Lily.
24:07But I promise if it all pans out, you will be the first to know.
24:10Please tell me it's not something dangerous like going head-to-head with Victor.
24:17Because that would be insane.
24:20What?
24:21Well, you said that you don't want the kids to see you fail.
24:24But going up against Victor will pretty much guarantee that.
24:27Yeah, don't you...
24:29Don't you get it, Lily?
24:31I have already failed.
24:33Okay, by allowing someone, anyone, to get their hands on the program
24:37that I wish to God I never commissioned.
24:38Look, I regret all of it.
24:43Every plan, every move, every step that I took as Aristote Dumas.
24:47If I could just hit the reset button and undo all of it, I would in a second.
24:51Because it has cost me everything that I truly love in this world.
24:57And you're right.
24:58I will be blamed for all the carnage from this thing.
25:06Unless I stop it.
25:08So to answer your question,
25:10yes, I'm going to confront Victor.
25:12But I'm not going to go in guns blazing.
25:15No, I'm going to offer him something that he understands above all else.
25:20Which is what?
25:22A deal.
25:23I have to say, I'm impressed.
25:30That is going to be one nasty bruise.
25:32You think so?
25:33I do.
25:34And I think you're really brave for handling it so well.
25:36Even though I know it had to hurt.
25:40Maybe a little.
25:42You know the worst part?
25:43It's not going to be a scar.
25:45I was really hoping for one of those.
25:47Give yourself more time, bud.
25:49What's the biggest bruise you ever got playing hockey, Dad?
25:52Oh.
25:54You know how you stop the puck with your leg?
25:57I did the same thing with my base.
26:01That's so awesome.
26:02My dad didn't think so.
26:04He was just relieved I didn't lose any teeth.
26:06But guess what?
26:07I don't have a scar to show for it either.
26:09You know, all this talk of scars and bruises,
26:12you guys are so much tougher than I am.
26:14It always feels bad when you're hurt, Claire.
26:17But you always heal.
26:19Right, Dad?
26:22You know, I didn't get a chance to tell you
26:24how much I loved that picture of you
26:25in your Halloween costume.
26:26That was such a great idea,
26:28dressing up like the houses from the Three Little Pigs.
26:30Harrison deserves full credit for coming up with that.
26:33Only it was supposed to be the three houses.
26:36We could only be two because you weren't here.
26:38Sorry about that.
26:40It's okay.
26:41Maybe we can wear all three next year.
26:43I hope so anyway.
26:45Yeah, me too.
26:45You know, I think you would really love Los Angeles.
26:49Was it fun?
26:50It was.
26:52Who'd you go with?
26:53I bet you it's the best time ever.
26:55Audra.
27:12Audra.
27:12Oh, well, look who it is.
27:16Back from L.A. so soon.
27:18I was hoping you'd stay there.
27:20All right, well, I'm sorry to disappoint you,
27:21but yes, I am back, and so is Claire.
27:24Ugh, I was really enjoying myself
27:26not running into Little Miss Sunshine.
27:28Well, you still might want to steer Claire.
27:31Of what was it?
27:32Oh, she couldn't handle big, bad, scary L.A.
27:36Or did she get bored when you introduce her
27:38to all those shiny, beautiful, happy phonies
27:40who call that city home?
27:42Audra.
27:44Okay, you're in a mood.
27:46I'm actually glad I ran into you.
27:48Yeah, I can tell.
27:50Well, I spent a lot of time with Claire
27:52when I was in L.A.
27:53Cute.
27:53So, uh, let me guess.
27:55You realize all that fake innocence is a snooze,
27:58and you wanted to be reminded
27:59what it's like to hang out with a real woman.
28:02Now, I'll take pity on you,
28:04and I'll buy you a Vesper.
28:06All right, you know what?
28:07I was going to give you a heads up,
28:09but you're annoying me, so I'm...
28:10Wait, wait, wait.
28:12A heads up about what?
28:16While I was in L.A.,
28:17I came clean with Claire about our past.
28:24Our past?
28:26How much did you tell her?
28:28And what exactly did you tell her about me?
28:30I think we should take advantage of this limbo state
28:37and figure out how to counter an attack
28:40for when it does come.
28:42Yes, now that Kyle is on his way back to L.A.,
28:44we have one less thing to worry about,
28:46and we can focus on shoring up our lines of defense.
28:49You know, I wonder what Claire would think
28:54if she knew that her grandfather
28:56was trying yet again
28:57to take control of Kyle's family business.
29:00Oh, I guarantee you it would complicate
29:03her already conflicted relationship with Victor.
29:06And it might possibly bring her closer to Kyle.
29:09No, wait, wait, wait.
29:10We're not doing that.
29:13No, Kyle has an uphill battle
29:14convincing Claire to give this relationship
29:16another chance.
29:18The last thing he needs
29:19is his parents getting involved.
29:23So what else did you and my dad do
29:25while he was in L.A.?
29:28Um, yeah, I wasn't out there long enough.
29:30I had to come back to go trick-or-treating with you.
29:33You know, I could not find these in L.A.
29:37Are they good?
29:39Yeah.
29:40Aren't you glad I saved them for you?
29:42I missed them on Halloween
29:43almost as much as I missed you.
29:47Wait, did you go to Disneyland?
29:52I did.
29:54I went on Space Mountain,
29:55and I played with a Jedi lightsaber,
29:58and I thought about you the whole time.
30:00I even ate one of those giant pretzels
30:03in the shape of Mickey's head.
30:04Did you eat the whole thing?
30:07Actually, I shared it with a friend.
30:09Sounds like you and your friend had a blast.
30:12I guess that's why they call it
30:13the happiest place on Earth.
30:15This is the happiest place to me
30:17because my two favorite people on Earth
30:20are right here.
30:21Oh, Harrison.
30:22So, what else did you and your friend do?
30:30You don't want to forget to show Claire
30:33the costume you made for her.
30:34Why don't you go upstairs and grab it?
30:35I just glued on some more sticks.
30:37Better make sure they're dry
30:39before I bring it down.
30:40Good idea.
30:41Don't go anywhere, okay?
30:46I won't.
30:57You should take him to Disneyland.
30:58He'd love it.
31:00If I did, I'd want you to come with us.
31:02Look, I know you're still probably not happy
31:09that I followed you to L.A.,
31:11but that's why I left,
31:12to give you the space you needed.
31:14And I'm not going to lie,
31:15it's not easy to sit here and listen
31:17and you talk about how much fun
31:19you have with another guy.
31:20Well, we've always been honest
31:21with each other, Kyle.
31:22I didn't think you would want me to hide it.
31:24I don't want that,
31:25even though I get the feeling
31:26that there are things you're not telling me,
31:27things I might not even want to know.
31:29Okay, I don't think we should do this here.
31:30I'm trying really hard
31:31not to read into the fact
31:32that you and Holden flew home together
31:34on a private jet
31:36where there's no middle seat.
31:38He was just trying to lighten the mood.
31:40Okay, I guess I do need to know.
31:44Know what?
31:45You and Holden, the couple.
31:50It's not as bad as you think.
31:51What did you tell Claire?
31:53Everything.
31:54Okay, well, did you tell her the truth?
31:56Or did you give her that fairytale version
31:59where you look like the good guy
32:00and I look like an evil witch?
32:01I'm sure there are some differences
32:02between my version of what happened and yours.
32:04Why did you do it, Holden?
32:07We both agreed to let the past stay in the past.
32:10I mean, what possible reason
32:11could you have for giving that doe-eyed dits
32:13any information about what happened?
32:15Well, well, well, well, Mr. Cain Osprey.
32:26Are you here to accuse me again
32:30of stealing your AI program?
32:34No.
32:36Well, then what?
32:36Are you following up on your lawsuit
32:38that you were threatening against Newman Media?
32:41Should I expect a subpoena soon?
32:44I wouldn't know.
32:45I have lawyers that handle that.
32:47Well, then there must be an update
32:48about the hugely altruistic act
32:50you were about to perform.
32:51Well, let's hear it.
32:54Though I don't think it's going to move the needle
32:55on the current public opinion of you,
32:57but I do very much appreciate
32:59you giving Newman Media the scoop.
33:01Yeah, I can understand
33:02how what I'm about to say
33:03could be construed that way.
33:05At least in your eyes.
33:06I just cut the ball, please sit down.
33:11I came here for one reason
33:12and one reason only.
33:13So what's that?
33:14To offer you a deal.
33:16What kind of a deal?
33:17The one where you don't unleash my AI program.
33:20That is,
33:22if you were to get your hands on it.
33:27And if that were to be the case,
33:28then what would you offer me
33:31that would tempt me to accept that deal?
33:33A billion dollars.
33:34I'm serious.
33:38One billion dollars.
33:40Today.
33:41Right now.
33:43What do you get out of it?
33:45The privilege of destroying the program.
33:48For good.
33:55The odds have been stacked against those two
33:58from the very beginning.
34:00The fact that they ever had a relationship
34:02is testament to just how much
34:03they care about each other.
34:04Enough to put up with Victor's many attempts
34:07to break them up.
34:08Thank God he saw how futile his efforts were
34:10and backed off.
34:12Although now,
34:13it appears that Victor has gotten
34:15exactly what he wanted.
34:16The fight is not over yet.
34:18The mere fact that Victor thinks
34:20they are not a good match
34:21is enough for me to believe
34:24Kyle and Claire are destined
34:25to be together.
34:27Well, I know Kyle thinks that.
34:29The question is just Claire.
34:33I don't want to hurt you, Kyle.
34:37Sounds like I have my answer.
34:40But what matters is that you and I
34:41aren't together.
34:43Not anymore.
34:43Not right now, at least.
34:48And I'm sorry,
34:50but that means that
34:51it's not your business
34:53who I spend my time with.
34:55I know that's not what you wanted to hear.
34:56Yeah, you're right.
34:57That's not what I want to hear.
34:59But not for the reasons you think.
35:02No?
35:02No, I hate being reminded
35:04that we're not a couple anymore
35:05because I know that's on me.
35:06But Holden...
35:07Oh, come on.
35:08Can we please just leave him out of this?
35:09Yeah, I wish I could.
35:11But the thing is,
35:12I hate seeing you with him
35:13and that's not a jealous ex talking.
35:15It's someone who loves you
35:17and still cares about your well-being
35:19and I don't believe
35:20spending any more time with Holden
35:21is in your best interest.
35:24Whether it is or isn't,
35:25that's my decision to make.
35:29So you do have doubts.
35:31What the hell were you thinking?
35:37I didn't have to say anything.
35:38That's the point.
35:39I meant to you...
35:40I didn't have to give you a heads up.
35:43Okay, so now you're doing me a favor.
35:44Yes, a big one.
35:45I'm protecting you.
35:46Oh, that is BS
35:47and you know it.
35:48Listen, if you would just calm down...
35:49You know, there's only one possible reason
35:51I could think of
35:52for you to tell Claire about what happened
35:53and that's because
35:54you wanted to hurt me.
35:56Hurt you?
35:56Yes.
35:57It wasn't about you, Audra.
35:58The hell, it wasn't.
35:59I was a part of that story.
36:02A big part.
36:04I mean, why else would you willingly
36:05give that sweet ammunition
36:06to use against me?
36:07I mean, how dare you
36:09put me in jeopardy that way?
36:11A billion dollars.
36:19You sure you can cover that?
36:21Do we have a deal or not?
36:24Not sure you can hold up
36:25your end of the bargain?
36:26Oh, I assure you, I can.
36:28No problem.
36:41Problem?
36:43What have you done, Victor?
36:45Next week, on The Young and the Restless.
36:55The reason I told her
36:56is because I didn't want Claire
36:57to take a deeper dive
36:59into what really happened.
37:00Because that is a story
37:02that neither of us wants to get out.
37:04By the end of the week,
37:05Kane could be out of business.
37:08Why aren't you happier about that?
37:10No, no worry.
37:12Okay.
37:17When I got here,
37:18I walked in on Noah and Sienna
37:20in a compromising position.
37:22I haven't been able to get
37:24out of either one of them
37:25how serious this is
37:26or how long it's been going on.
37:28Did you talk to Sienna?
37:29I did, but she didn't tell me anything.
37:31Like, if her husband
37:32knows about this or not?
37:35What's next for you
37:36is you go back to Newman's hospital
37:37and you get rid of the guard at his door.
37:41Come back.
37:42Come back.
37:42Come back.
37:42Come back.
