00:00of course we're excited my brother Jack has redirected all his resources into Chabot
00:08which means Abbott Communications has all the funding it needs to take off
00:13Newman Media are they still in business no we're not worried about the competition
00:20especially those muckrakers look at the end of the day I believe in our team we have fantastic
00:29people and our co-CEO Sally Spector is a star and the sky's the limit yes no no no I'm not going to do
00:38that I'm not going to tell you who's on the team but we are hiring the best of the best you can quote
00:43me on that ultimately I think our product is fantastic we're young we're ready to do it and
00:50you can quote me on that too all right I'll talk to you soon anytime thanks
00:59hi hi I just spent the last half hour singing your praises about how you're going to make
01:04Abbott Communications the toast of the town and the gold standard well that's good
01:09uh-oh what's wrong I just spoke with Jill about bringing Audra on board
01:16let me guess she doesn't like the idea just as you predicted
01:20I'm sorry I mean I pitched my heart out to her she wasn't even hearing any of it she just kept
01:27saying and I'm quoting her directly that Audra's past precludes her from being a part of our future
01:31yeah that's Jill speak for hard no
01:35Audra relax do not tell me to relax I mean what the hell were you thinking spilling your guts to
01:45declare about her past in LA you're making a bigger deal out of this than it was no I get to decide if
01:50this is a big deal or not and it is a big deal to me you know if you wanted to impress little miss
01:54sunshine why didn't you book one of those corny old-fashioned Hollywood tours that parks a stupid
01:59bus in front of those houses where celebrities don't live anymore guess they're all booked
02:04you're not funny Holden you haven't been funny for a very long time I'm sorry I upset you but why did
02:11you do it it was so unnecessary why bring Claire into something we agreed was off limits it kind of
02:17just happened what there was a what a lull in the conversation which wouldn't surprise me at all
02:23with her so what you suddenly got the urge to take a trip down bad memory lane since she's been
02:29she's been pressing me forever about our history okay so then we went to the shadow room with
02:34you went where we went to the shadow room with Mitch and okay I know what the shadow room is Holden
02:42that's right so of course topic of our past came up again yeah I just I can't believe you took her
02:51there given our history with that place and those people what is wrong with you do you have a death wish
02:59or something
03:29I appreciate you letting me know I'll send word of the tech team so they can do whatever they can
03:43thanks
03:44that sounds like bad news
03:52you're really gonna sit there and pretend like you don't know what just happened
03:57I have no idea what you're talking about you have my AI software you just launched it against
04:04me and my company you're gonna deny it
04:06here you go thank you
04:17you know it's not fair
04:25Jill doesn't even know Audra
04:28she knows enough to know that she's bad news and she's not the only one
04:33okay so
04:34ever heard of second chances
04:36I think Jill used all her second chances on me
04:39sorry about that
04:40look I know that Audra's a friend of yours
04:44yes a friend who just happens to be very highly and uniquely qualified in exactly what we're trying to accomplish
04:49that's fine but this is Jill's final verdict and you know her word matters
04:56you know
04:59Jill didn't exactly say that I couldn't hire Audra
05:07what does that mean
05:08well she just strongly advised against it and that ultimately she said it was gonna be my decision
05:12yeah that's the same as no
05:13I speak
05:15and understand Jill
05:17okay
05:17what she's saying is that it's your neck on the line and if it doesn't go good
05:21it's your head
05:22well I'm still gonna fight for Audra
05:24she changed her mind about you didn't she
05:27I think it's very different
05:29how
05:30because when you convinced Jill to come on board knowing that I was still a part of the team
05:36she probably said yes at a guilt not because of my ability
05:39you're wrong
05:41I saw her face when I pitched the idea of you and me running the company together
05:45her eyes lit up
05:46that was not guilt
05:47that was excitement for all the possibilities
05:49if I could do it with you
05:50I could do it with Audra
05:52Sally are you sure that Audra's the hill you can die on
05:54I believe in her
05:56okay
05:57look just for argument's sake let's say that uh
06:01you know Audra is the rock star
06:03because nobody's doubting her talent
06:04but she has a long track record of being a very loose cannon
06:08you want to risk that
06:09hoping that she stays on the straight and narrow
06:12because if she doesn't
06:13and she reverts to her old ways
06:16that's it
06:16every communications is no more
06:19Jill pulls the funding
06:20so you got a question
06:23is Audra really worth it
06:25worth your future
06:27worth our future
06:30I cannot believe you took Claire to the Shadow Room
06:36it's a nightclub
06:37that's what people do in LA
06:39they go to clubs
06:40but why did it have to be that one
06:41I mean there are hundreds of other clubs
06:44in LA Holden
06:45so what was the problem
06:47were you afraid that you weren't going to get past the velvet rope
06:51and your stupid little girlfriend was going to realize
06:52you're not as cool as you pretend to be
06:54first off Claire is not my girlfriend
06:56let's get
06:57okay that is not the point
06:58I don't care who she is to you or what you did
07:02why did you have to take her to that place
07:04the place that could bury us
07:07bury me particularly
07:08huh
07:10so so
07:11what was the angle
07:12to just entertain crazy Claire with some dirt about me
07:16that she could use down the road
07:18you're wrong on all counts
07:20I don't know Holden
07:22this fits your MO
07:24to try to impress vulnerable women
07:28hmm yeah
07:30with a little dirt and a little scandal
07:33to get them all hot and bothered
07:34that's your twisted idea of foreplay
07:38and I bet it worked
07:40I bet Claire got all excited about you revealing information
07:45our corruption
07:47that she just couldn't wait to take you back to her room
07:50and just show you her appreciation
07:52did I call it Holden?
07:57is that how it went down?
08:00I have no idea what the hell you're talking about
08:03I know it was you Victor
08:04isn't that ironic?
08:08the very doomsday machine
08:10you were
08:10intending to use against other companies
08:13it's been used against you
08:15that's mortifying?
08:18I would be if I were you
08:19how did you do it?
08:23hmm?
08:23Phyllis?
08:24Phyllis
08:25anytime anything goes wrong with some damn computer
08:29everyone points to Phyllis
08:31that's how it crossed the bear
08:32you know I'm gonna find out
08:34I bet you will
08:36and quite frankly
08:39I don't give a damn
08:40so let me get this straight
08:43you didn't have
08:46any kind of protection in place
08:48in case this kind of thing happened?
08:50that's not really the point
08:51here Adam
08:51no the point is
08:52you're accusing my father of something
08:54in which you have zero proof
08:56yeah they're kind of like the lies
08:57you put on your media platform
08:58about me and my father
08:59okay
09:01those weren't lies
09:02god we're gonna have a field day
09:05with this boneheaded play
09:06Aristotle Dumas
09:09is undone by his own
09:10Frankenstein monster
09:12I mean that sings
09:13let's not be too hard on him
09:15okay
09:15he's just
09:17reacting the way we would
09:19if this had happened to us
09:21that's what he intended to do
09:24right
09:24to destroy our company
09:25you're not gonna get away with this
09:29but whoever got a hold of this
09:32doomsday machine
09:33already has
09:34you wanna take me on?
09:40good luck to you
09:42if I were you
09:44I wouldn't waste any more time
09:45talking about this
09:46because you have a business to save
09:49right?
10:06is that true?
10:09did you really
10:10unleash Kane's creation against him?
10:12you know
10:19there was a time
10:21when Audra was the only person
10:23who would
10:25have a cup of coffee
10:26with me in this town
10:27my reputation was not as stellar
10:29as it is now
10:30I know a little bit
10:32about that myself
10:33okay
10:34then you should understand
10:35why I want to help her
10:36when she's down
10:37I mean
10:38come on
10:40Billy
10:40she's lost her business
10:41she's lost her relationship
10:43and she's running out of money
10:44the girl deserves
10:45a break
10:46usually I would never argue
10:48that kind of opportunity
10:51to give to someone
10:52but look
10:52Sally
10:55it's a big bet
10:56to make on someone
10:57because if it doesn't go well
10:58you lose it all
10:59Audra needs
11:02this opportunity
11:04so I really don't think
11:05she would do anything
11:05to jeopardize it
11:06maybe not now
11:07but what if she gets
11:08a little too comfortable
11:09look okay
11:10I know
11:11Audra's fault
11:12Billy
11:13you and Jill
11:13don't need to make
11:14a list for me
11:15but I also know
11:17that she will work
11:18like a demon
11:18and she will have my back
11:20and that is
11:20very important to me
11:22because I didn't
11:25that's not what I'm saying
11:28you don't have to say it
11:30I screwed up
11:32I really messed up
11:34when I went down
11:35the Chancellor
11:35rabbit hole
11:36okay
11:37and I didn't
11:38I didn't give you
11:40the loyalty
11:41or
11:42or the support
11:43that you deserved
11:44and I still feel
11:45bad about that
11:46okay Billy
11:48just stop
11:49I've already
11:50forgiven you for that
11:51I guess I haven't
11:52forgiven myself for it
11:53and maybe that's
11:55what this is about
11:56maybe I'm being
11:57too hard on Audra
11:58but I just
11:58I don't want to see
12:00you get burnt again
12:01Sally
12:02well I think
12:05Audra is a benefit
12:06not a liability
12:08especially when it
12:11comes to taking
12:11on Newman Media
12:12she is a fighter
12:13just like me
12:14and she is not
12:15afraid to get
12:16her hands dirty
12:16when the other
12:17side plays rough
12:18okay
12:20look
12:22it's your call
12:24right
12:25as your
12:26junior partner
12:27I'm here to
12:28give you advice
12:28based on my
12:29experience
12:30but you know
12:30what you need
12:31to do
12:31you need to
12:31really look at
12:32this
12:32you need to
12:34weigh the pros
12:34and the cons
12:35I trust you
12:38Sally

12:40the right call

12:55be telling you
12:55Claire knows

12:57I don't understand
12:58why she had to
12:58know anything
12:59at all
13:00she already
13:00think something
13:01suspicious
13:01went down
13:02between you
13:03and me
13:03in the past
13:03okay
13:04the closer
13:05we got
13:05the more
13:05she wanted

13:10that it's none
13:10of her business

13:12oh yeah
13:12I'm sure
13:13you did
13:13well it's not
13:14so easy
13:14when Kyle's
13:15around asking
13:15questions

13:27to fairytale land
13:28with Kyle

13:30that means you
13:31wouldn't have
13:31gotten what you

13:33conquest would
13:34have been
13:34interrupted

13:36do that
13:36who's to say
13:38that she would
13:38have stopped
13:38trying to find
13:39out anyway
13:39which would
13:40have been
13:40even worse
13:41I can't see
13:42how
13:42I can't see
13:43how
13:43Adra
13:43I told her
13:44a very careful
13:45version of our
13:45truths
13:46I didn't want her
13:47to imagine
13:48anything worse

18:14and that's supposed
18:15to make it okay
18:16wait it nips it
18:16in the bud
18:17hopefully it
18:18satisfies Claire
18:18so she won't
18:19keep looking
18:19that's right
18:22because then
18:23she'd find out
18:24you were a lot
18:25more involved
18:25than you probably
18:26told her you were
18:27I told her my part
18:28oh
18:29you told her
18:30that you took
18:31the cash I gave
18:32you to keep
18:32your mouth shut
18:33maybe I should
18:36demand a refund
18:37it's very funny
18:38I'm serious
18:39what you do
18:41with that money
18:41anyway huh
18:42I bet you
18:43didn't share
18:44that little detail
18:45with Claire
18:45because you
18:45were too busy
18:46throwing me
18:47under the bus
18:47I told her
18:48what I told her
18:49okay Audra
18:50so you can be
18:51pissed
18:52you can be
18:53paranoid
18:53you can be
18:54whatever you
18:54want
18:54I do not
18:55care
18:56but the reason
18:57I told her
18:57is because
18:58I didn't want
18:58Claire to take
18:59a deeper dive
19:00into what
19:00really happened
19:01because that
19:03is a story
19:04that neither
19:04of us wants
19:05to get out
19:05is everything
19:12okay here
19:12hi
19:22hi
19:42do they have
19:43do they have a
19:43date
19:43not officially
19:44but Billy
19:46as usual
19:47is running
19:47his mouth
19:48on how great
19:49and wonderful
19:50it's gonna be
19:51and blah blah
19:52blah
19:53and how he's
19:53gonna bury
19:54Newman media
19:55he won't
19:56no I know
19:57you know that
19:59but we have
20:01to be on guard
20:01against whatever
20:02BS Billy throws
20:03out there
20:03because he's
20:04not gonna be
20:05kind and gentle
20:06Adam I know
20:07conflict is inevitable
20:08I accept that
20:10we are competitors
20:11I just don't want
20:12things to end up
20:13in the gutter
20:13well that's up
20:14to Billy
20:15not just Billy
20:19I mean Victor
20:19plays a part
20:20in this as well
20:21I think I might
20:24be able to get
20:24him to back
20:25off on that
20:25really
20:26sure
20:28I mean we
20:30could use
20:30Billy's canceled
20:31at the last
20:32minute launch party
20:32and paint
20:33Abby Communications
20:34as an inferior
20:35product
20:36doomed to fail
20:37but
20:38I think the
20:40smarter move
20:41is to just
20:41leave it alone
20:42and wait to see
20:43what Billy's up
20:44to
20:44and Victor
20:46signed off
20:47on this
20:47I think he will
20:49which means
20:50he hasn't
20:52chosen
20:52Victor has
20:54bigger fish
20:55to fry
20:55at the moment
20:56and he's already
20:58got one of them
20:58on the grill
20:59who
21:01Kane
21:03dad
21:05released the AI
21:08software into
21:08Arabesque
21:09operating system
21:10oh my gosh
21:11and it's working
21:13by the end of the
21:15week
21:15Kane could be
21:16out of business
21:17why aren't you
21:20happier about that
21:21it's so funny
21:25oh
21:26just

21:32God

21:35way of laughing
21:36at those who make
21:37plans
21:37and I had a thought
21:39about what my
21:39father would say
21:40to me right now
21:41well he wouldn't
21:43be laughing
21:44that's for sure
21:44I don't know
21:45about that
21:45he has
21:46fair share
21:47of wins
21:47and losses

23:16standing
23:16well

23:18how it is
23:19sometimes you look

23:21things that used to be
23:22important in life

23:49yeah well Holden
23:50has a rare gift
23:51of always putting me
23:52in a bad mood
23:53whenever I run into
23:53him
23:54okay well um
23:55I have an idea
23:56maybe don't engage
23:57when you run into
23:58him or if he reaches
23:59out to you just
23:59have something better
24:00to do
24:00great advice
24:02thanks
24:03so uh what
24:06kind of trouble
24:08am I in
24:08who said anything
24:10about trouble
24:11well it's been my
24:13experience that when
24:13someone says we need
24:15to talk it usually
24:16doesn't bode well
24:17for the person
24:18at the other end
24:19of the conversation
24:20I'm not shedding
24:24any tears for Kane
24:26if that's what
24:26you're thinking
24:27no that's not
24:28what I'm thinking
24:28so go ahead
24:31I mean as far
24:35as I'm concerned
24:35the guy already
24:36had it coming
24:36for tricking the
24:38family into going to
24:39Nice and then
24:39holding them hostage
24:40where three people
24:42died
24:43don't forget that
24:44so I
24:45haven't forgotten
24:47you know
24:48and then the
24:49bastard comes
24:50sets up shop
24:51holds the entire
24:52town hostage
24:53with these AI
24:54doomsday threats
24:55listen nobody
24:57at this table
24:57feels sorry
24:58for Kane
24:59trust me
25:01yeah
25:02but
25:03you're clearly
25:04upset or else
25:05we'd be
25:06ordering champagne
25:07and
25:09we're not
25:10it's my father's
25:12next target
25:13that bothers me
25:15Jabot
25:16along with the
25:20complete destruction
25:21of Jack Abbott
25:23well you can't be
25:24surprised Victor
25:25would want to go
25:25there
25:26I'm not
25:27plus it's part of
25:29Phyllis's deal
25:30Jabot for the AI
25:31program
25:32but Victor does not
25:34always hold up
25:34his end of the deal
25:35I just
25:37I wish
25:38for once
25:39he could just
25:41be satisfied
25:42in winning
25:43I mean the guy
25:45has everything
25:46in his life
25:47that he could ever
25:47want or dream of
25:48and it's never enough
25:49it's a cautionary tale
25:54for me
25:55no
25:56for everybody
25:58people that can
26:00never be satisfied
26:00can never truly
26:01be happy
26:02they just
26:03keep
26:05wanting
26:06and wanting
26:07and the need
26:08is insatiable
26:09and I feel
26:10sorry for him
26:10well I feel
26:12a hell of a lot
26:13sorrier for Jack
26:14what does Victor
26:19want you to do
26:20he wants me to create
26:25some kind of
26:25diversion
26:26for the Abbott
26:27so they will be
26:28distracted
26:29when he finally
26:31wants to drop
26:31the hammer on them
26:32when is that
26:34supposed to happen
26:35clock's already ticking
26:38Michael Victor
26:44what have you
26:45learned about
26:46Noah's associates
26:47in Los Angeles
26:48and by the way
26:50you and I
26:50were discussing
26:51business before
26:52have you made up
26:53your mind
26:54I need your counsel
26:55things are heating up
26:57around here
26:57okay
26:58but don't wait
27:00too long
27:00because
27:01things are
27:03becoming rather
27:03urgent
27:04bye
27:05as a matter
27:10of fact
27:10yeah
27:10I do know
27:11the fires
27:12that Kane
27:12is putting out
27:13right now
27:13what are they
27:14like I'm gonna
27:16tell you
27:16you had a chance
27:18to be part
27:19of our winning
27:19team
27:20and you blew
27:20it
27:21come on
27:24winning team
27:25there's not a
27:26whole lot of
27:26winning happening
27:27with you
27:27like
27:27like you
27:29know anything
27:29about winning
27:30I do know
27:31quite a bit
27:32I noticed
27:33your partner
27:34seemed pretty
27:35upset about
27:36something
27:36I'm thinking
27:37maybe things
27:38aren't going
27:39according to
27:39plan
27:39see that's
27:40the problem
27:40you're thinking
27:41and you're doing
27:42everything you can
27:43to avoid the
27:43subject
27:44which means
27:44that you're
27:45in trouble
27:45okay
27:46we're fine
27:49you should put
27:50less emphasis
27:51on me and Kane
27:52and more emphasis
27:53on what Victor
27:55is gonna do next
27:56I'm not worried
27:57about Victor
27:58you're not
27:58oh my goodness
28:00well you should be
28:01because it's only
28:01a matter of time
28:02before he goes
28:03after Jabot
28:04and Abbott
28:05Communications
28:05I appreciate
28:07your concern
28:07but both companies
28:08will be just fine
28:09we'll be safe
28:10oh
28:11oh
28:11okay
28:13because you say
28:14so
28:14no because
28:16we were alerted
28:17and we took
28:18precautions
28:19um
28:19let me tell you
28:20something
28:21once that software
28:22gets in your system
28:23there's nothing
28:25you're gonna be able
28:26to do to stop it
28:27we have tools
28:29okay
28:30for your sake
28:31I hope that's true
28:32you have a good day
28:34and I really hope
28:36that whatever
28:37your partner's
28:38freaking out about
28:38it gets solved
28:39but it didn't look good
28:42and good luck
28:48Phyllis
28:48so I had a conversation
29:01with the person
29:04who is investing
29:05in Abbott Communications
29:06oh your
29:07anonymous investor
29:09yeah
29:11they
29:13were concerned
29:15about your history
29:16how concerned
29:19are we talking about
29:20they strongly advised me
29:23not to hire you
29:24I mean that's it
29:27you know I am out of a job
29:28before I even get started
29:29no no no
29:29hey take a breath
29:30okay
29:30because this is not over
29:31I mean it sure sounds
29:33that way to me Sally
29:34Audra I'm still gonna
29:35fight for you
29:36Sally
29:38no hey look
29:39I'm not giving up on you
29:40or our friendship
29:41okay
29:42it's gonna work
29:43but how
29:45look I love
29:46that you're sticking up
29:48for me I do
29:48but we both know
29:50that whoever signs
29:51the checks
29:51calls the shots
29:52it's just the way
29:53it works
29:53okay
29:54well this particular
29:55person bought into
29:56my vision and my
29:57leadership 100%
29:59and that includes me
30:00putting together
30:00the team that I want
30:01just might take a little
30:03longer than we thought
30:04how much more time
30:07well once Billy and I
30:10get avid communications
30:11up and running
30:12successfully
30:13then I am sure
30:14I can convince the
30:15backer to bring you on
30:16so more waiting
30:19I'm sorry
30:21yeah
30:22there's gonna be more
30:24waiting but it is
30:24gonna happen
30:25okay
30:26because our backer
30:28never gave me a
30:29direct order
30:29not to hire you
30:31so I'm gonna use
30:33that as a little
30:33wiggle room
30:34so that we can
30:34both
30:35get what we want
30:37I hate
30:41that Victor
30:42does this to you
30:43he hands you
30:44his dirty work
30:45so he can keep
30:46his hands clean
30:46well I mean
30:48it's part of
30:50what I signed on
30:51for
30:51it shouldn't be
30:52and it's not even
30:53necessary
30:54I know
30:55it's one thing
30:56to go after Kane
30:57when he was a threat
30:57to everyone
30:58but he's been
30:59neutralized
30:59everything's fine
31:00there are no more
31:02threats
31:02except for
31:04Victor
31:04planning an
31:05unprovoked attack
31:06on Jabot
31:06to satisfy
31:07some personal
31:08vendetta
31:09well it's a
31:10vendetta that has
31:11been going on
31:11for decades
31:12it doesn't make
31:14it right
31:14Victor Newman
31:17wants what he
31:18wants and
31:19Jack Abbott
31:19in his trophy
31:21room is right
31:22at the top
31:22of his list
31:23but Adam
31:24could you
31:26do that
31:26to Jack
31:27Joseph
31:28it kills
31:29me
31:30Jack has
31:32not only
31:32been a friend
31:33to me
31:34one of the
31:35few
31:35that I've
31:36had
31:37I mean
31:38you know
31:38he was a
31:39father for
31:39you to me
31:39when I
31:40came to
31:40town
31:41when
31:42everybody
31:43else in
31:44this town
31:44was turning
31:44their back
31:45on me
31:45including
31:47my own
31:47family
31:48Jack
31:49Jack
31:52somehow
31:52believed
31:53that there
31:53was more
31:54to me
31:54than
31:54the anger
31:56and the hurt
31:56that I was
31:57carrying around
31:57and I was
31:58taking it out
31:59on everybody
32:00else
32:00that means
32:02a lot
32:03to me
32:03it still
32:05means a lot
32:05to me
32:06and he was
32:08right about

32:13this is
32:13what makes

32:14harder

32:17to go after
32:17Billy

32:22competitor
32:22Newman Media
32:23but Jack

32:35see that
32:35as me

32:40make a
32:41difference
32:41Chelsea
