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