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