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?
02:21Thank you very much.
02:51Yeah, they're on board, but the contract changes, so we should be able to get moving on production right away.
03:13Yeah, uh, Devong, can I actually call you back? Something, something came up.
03:20Okay, bye.
03:21Hi. Do you have a minute?
03:27Yeah, of course. Sit down.
03:30Uh, I'm actually glad I ran into you. I was gonna call you.
03:35About the kids? It's funny, I was just thinking about them. I, uh, I've been trying to call them and they won't answer.
03:41I mean, I get it, they're still angry, I don't blame them for that, but 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.
03:51I'm grabbing a coffee and then head to the airport, so make sure the jet is gassed up and ready to take off. I need to get back to Los Angeles ASAP.
04:03Okay. Thank you.
04:10Claire.
04:12Kyle?
04:13I was just thinking about you.
04:18I thought you were still in L.A. When did you get back?
04:32About 30 minutes ago. I came straight here from the airport.
04:35What happened? Did you get tired of all the sunshine?
04:39I decided it was time to come home.
04:41So, you two flew back together.
04:46I was gonna miss my flight, and so my mom insisted that I take the Newman jet at the last minute, so.
04:53Yeah, and I asked Claire if it's okay if I hitched a ride, and she was nice enough to let me.
04:59She is generous.
05:01She is.
05:02Usually 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.
05:11Look, I'm really glad you're home.
05:14Could we maybe go someplace and talk?
05:16I've done a lot of thinking since I last saw you about us, conversations we had.
05:21I'd like to share those thoughts with you.
05:24Good luck.
05:24Much as I dread what's coming next, we cannot afford to get lost in the doom and gloom of what might happen.
05:35Well, it's not easy with this threat hanging over us.
05:37Oh, that's true.
05:39I can think of any number of adjectives for Victor Noman.
05:44Arrogant.
05:46Ruthless.
05:47Machiavellian, to name a few.
05:49But the one that keeps sticking in my mind is actually a positive attribute.
05:55You think he actually has one?
05:57Victor is nothing if not patient.
05:59He likes no strategy more than lying in wait for the perfect moment to strike, catching his opponent off guard.
06:08Like a snake in the grass.
06:09Like a snake in the grass, of course, for Victor.
06:11Victor, the Grand Master, the Master, always stays one step ahead of his opponent in order to maintain control of the chessboard.
06:22And he can never rush anything.
06:25Never.
06:27So the longer he takes to make his move, the more unnerving it is for his opponent, the more likely it is they'll make a mistake.
06:33And we can't afford to do that.
06:35But yeah, how are we supposed to respond when we've been reduced to mere pawns in another one of Victor's power plays?
06:42Only able to move one square at a time.
06:45This waiting game of not being able to do anything proactive, only responding to what Victor does or doesn't do is maddening.
06:55What if it's not patience on Victor's part?
06:59Wait, what do you mean?
07:00Well, what if the reason he hasn't made a move against Chabot is because he doesn't have Cain's software?
07:07If not Victor, then who?
07:09Cain himself.
07:10Maybe he's the one on the opposite side of the chessboard.
07:14Maybe the reason he came over to warn us about Victor being behind the theft was just to throw us off.
07:22I don't think Cain would go to those lengths.
07:24Well, since returning to Genoa City, no one seems to be able to figure out his motives.
07:30Sometimes I think that Cain doesn't even know what his next move is.
07:34Yeah, I suppose we have to allow for that possibility, but we still can't take our eye off Victor.
07:39Never.
07:40Look, even if Cain still has the program, he can hand it over to all money bags whenever the spirit moves him.
07:47No, and I am going to hold him accountable for this.
07:53I am going to make him pay for every bit of damage that ensues.
07:59You know what?
08:00I'm sorry.
08:02I shouldn't have put you on the spot like that and asked you to betray Maddie and Charlie's trust.
08:06They need at least one parent that doesn't make them furious and stress them out.
08:10So, I'm sorry.
08:13Forget I asked, okay?
08:14Well, I appreciate you not wanting me to betray their confidence, but I can definitely tell you from what I've seen, they do miss you.
08:27You think so?
08:28Yeah, of course, Cain.
08:29You're their father.
08:31You three used to be very close.
08:33Yeah.
08:35Well, I hope we can get back there someday.
08:38Yeah, well, unfortunately, missing you is not enough for them to overlook how betrayed they feel.
08:45And honestly, the hit piece in human media made things worse.
08:48Look, I get it.
08:49I know I'm to blame for where things stand with Maddie and Charlie, Lily.
08:53It'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.
09:02Well, was it guilt that stopped you or the fact that someone stole it?
09:06Why would you even say that?
09:07I told you that I would destroy it.
09:09I promised you I would before I found out it was stolen.
09:12Okay, well, that's why I wanted to talk to you.
09:14Have you tracked down the program?
09:17No.
09:19Well, do you know who was behind it?
09:21Was it Victor or Phyllis or someone else?
09:24I don't know.
09:24Okay, so that's it.
09:26You have nothing to offer.
09:28Well, what do you want me to say?
09:29I just want to know that you're doing something about this before any irreversible damage is done.
09:34I'm not going to make a move on Jabot as I'm being, but I assume that is part of the strategy.
09:45Yeah, of course.
09:45But when I found out that Cain Ashby informed Jack and his family that I may be the one who's behind the theft of their AI program, I decided to hold off.
10:01How do you know that it was Cain that told the abbots?
10:04Because Jack Abbott burst in here with enormous bombast.
10:09And now that they expect me to go after them, I'm going to hold off for a while.
10:16It's classic Victor Newman.
10:21Let him stew and sweat while you sit back and wait.
10:26Yeah, I guess I've done that a few times.
10:28Kind of a classic.
10:31But you know, when the time comes, I want you to create an enormous distraction.
10:37What kind of distraction?
10:40I'll leave that up to you.
10:43One condition, though.
10:46Where she is.
10:48I want you to be very creative.
10:58Now's not really a great time for 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, I'm kind of jet-lagged.
11:08Like I said, I just landed.
11:09So, you know, I've got to unpack and get to the office.
11:13Sure, sure.
11:14Some other time.
11:14But can I at least talk you into coming back to the house to say hi to Harrison?
11:19He had a half day from school and he has been bugging me non-stop since Halloween about when he's going to see you next.
11:26And speak of the devil.
11:29Oh, there's the little guy now.
11:31He's been bugging me to get on the ice.
11:32He's all about ice hockey these days.
11:34And he doesn't understand why I can't just drop everything to hang out.
11:38You know how he gets when he loves sleeping.
11:40You can be pretty persuasive.
11:42Very resist.
11:43Well, that I can't pass up a chance to see the little guy.
11:48But I'm dying for coffee, so what if I meet you in 30 minutes?
11:55I don't mind waiting.
11:57But you might want to hold off on the macchiato.
12:00Harrison has been hoarding all of his caramel swirls from his Halloween stash because he knows how much you love them.
12:06That's so sweet.
12:06Unfortunately, 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.
12:17Okay, fine.
12:18I will come, but just for a quick visit.
12:22Great.
12:27Oh, sorry.
12:29I don't mean to ditch you.
12:31No, it's all good.
12:33I have a lot of errands to run, emails to catch up on.
12:36We were gone for a minute.
12:38Yeah, yeah, I just didn't realize that until right now.
12:41Yeah.
12:42Well, I'll call you.
12:44And you know what?
12:45If the candy doesn't ruin your appetite, maybe we can grab some dinner?
12:53I'm not sure what my plans are later.
12:56You 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?
13:03Well, sounds like a plan.
13:06Huh.
13:08All right, well, see you later.
13:10Okay.
13:11Bye.
13:11Bye.
13:13Ready?
13:16What are you even doing here?
13:17Shouldn't you get back to the office?
13:19Are you kidding?
13:20Nothing could keep me from being there when Harrison sees you.
13:23He's gonna be psyched.
13:24He's gonna be psyched.
13:25He's gonna be psyched.
13:26He's gonna be psyched.
13:27He's gonna be psyched.
13:28He's gonna be psyched.
13:29He's gonna be psyched.
13:30He's gonna be psyched.
13:31He's gonna be psyched.
13:33He's gonna be psyched.
13:34He's gonna be psyched.
13:35He's gonna be psyched.
13:36He's gonna be psyched.
13:37He's gonna be psyched.
13:38He's gonna be psyched.
13:39He's gonna be psyched.
13:40He's gonna be psyched.
13:41He's gonna be psyched.
13:42He's gonna be psyched.
13:43He's gonna be psyched.
13:44He's gonna be psyched.
13:45Look, I wish I could tell you what you want to hear.
14:15I just want to know, are you able to control this situation or not?
14:21Even 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% of 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.
14:59Okay.
15:00Do 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?
15:28This 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 abbots?
15:44It 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?
15:54No pressure there.
15:57Okay.
16:03So, 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.
16:19But, business is business.
16:24And ours comes first.
16:27Good.
16:29I would have 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.
16:54You 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 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.
17:25What?
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, and when that didn't work, we just reversed course.
17:38Because 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!
18:22Come down!
18:23I've got a surprise for you!
18:26Where'd you come?
18:27That's okay.
18:28I'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.
18:42But I heard a rumor that you got a major candy haul.
18:45The biggest!
18:46Even more than last year's.
18:48How is that possible?
18:50Well, there was Connor's party.
18:53And major goodie bags there.
18:56There's the parade at school.
18:58Even 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.
19:05I'm sure your dentist will be pleased.
19:08Did you go trick-or-treating in L.A.?
19:11I 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?
19:31I 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?
19:48Nah, 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.
19:56But how 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?
20:13Right there.
20:14Oh.
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.
20:24You just have to be in possession of the program to use it.
20:26Right.
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 Abbotts?
20:39I went 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 Miss Lily.
20:51All right.
20:51Aside from the fact that I've already lost the respect of her children,
20:54and you, knowing 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?
21:10I 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, and then the program was conveniently stolen from you before you had the chance to do that.
21:29That's what happened.
21:30Right.
21:30And then you tell me that you're going to get it back, but 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, 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.
21:54Okay, well, if you're right and they're working together, they're not going to go after just Chabot.
21:58They're going to go after Arabesque and probably Winters, and 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.
22:16I always know what I'm doing, John.
22:22Well, I don't expect you to divulge all of the details, given the sensitive nature of the AI program.
22:29But I am curious how you plan to use this to your advantage if you're not going to be unleashing an attack anytime soon.
22:36You know, son, I've lived long enough to have learned that it is best sometimes to keep some things close to one's best.
22:46So you're really not going to tell me what you plan to?
22:50No, son.
22:55Except to say that Cain 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 around in the first place.
23:18I never bought her phony allegiance to you because the only person that she's loyal to is herself.
23:27Look, I don't think whoever took the program is as important as the potential ramifications of the theft.
23:34Yeah, I agree.
23:35So it's a given that all the legacy companies in General 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.
23:56I thought I was your ally and you could trust me.
23:59You are, and I meant that.
24:00But 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, 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 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 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.
24:59I will be blamed for all the carnage from this thing.
25:06Unless I stop it.
25:08So to answer your question, yes, I'm going to confront Victor.
25:13But I'm not going to go in guns blazing.
25:15Now 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?
25:53Oh.
25:54You know how you stop the puck with your leg?
25:57I did the same thing with my base.
26:00That'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, you guys are so much tougher than I am.
26:14It 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 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.
26:47You know, I think you would really love Los Angeles.
26:49Was it fun?
26:51It was.
26:52Who'd you go with?
26:53I bet you had the best time ever.
27:00Audrey.
27:14Oh.
27:14Well, 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, but yes, I am back.
27:22And so is Claire.
27:24Ugh, I was really enjoying myself not running into Little Miss Sunshine.
27:28What you still might want to steer clear.
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 to all those shiny, beautiful, happy phonies who 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.
27:49Well, I spent a lot of time with Claire when I was in L.A.
27:53Q, uh, let me guess.
27:55You realize all that fake innocence is a snooze and you wanted to be reminded what it's like to hang out with a real woman.
28:02Now, I'll take pity on you and I'll buy you a Vesper.
28:06You know what?
28:07I was going to give you a heads up, but you're annoying me, so I'm...
28:10Wait, wait, wait.
28:12A heads up about what?
28:16While I was in L.A., I came clean with Claire about our past.
28:23Our past?
28:26How much did you tell her?
28:29And what exactly did you tell her about me?
28:34I think we should take advantage of this limbo state and figure out how to counter an attack for when it does come.
28:41Yes, now that Kyle is on his way back to L.A., we have one less thing to worry about and we can focus on shoring up our lines of defense.
28:51You know, I wonder what Claire would think if she knew that her grandfather was trying yet again to take control of Kyle's family business.
29:00Oh, I guarantee you it would complicate her 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 convincing Claire to give this relationship another chance.
29:18So what else did you and my dad do while he was in L.A.?
29:28Um, yeah, I wasn't out there long enough.
29:31I had to come back to go trick-or-treating with you.
29:33You know, I could not find these in L.A.
29:36Are they good?
29:39Yeah.
29:40Aren't you glad I saved them for you?
29:42I missed them on Halloween almost as much as I missed you.
29:47Wait, did you go to Disneyland?
29:52I did.
29:54I went on Space Mountain and I played with a Jedi lightsaber and I thought about you the whole time.
30:00I even ate one of those giant pretzels in the shape of Mickey's head.
30:04Did you eat the whole thing?
30:06Actually, 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 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.
30:26So what else did you and your friend do?
30:30You don't want to forget to show Claire the costume you made for.
30:34Why don't you go upstairs and grab it?
30:35I just glued on some more sticks.
30:38Better make sure they're dry before I bring it down.
30:40Good idea.
30:44Don't go anywhere, okay?
30:46I won't.
30:47You 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 that I followed you to L.A., but that's why I left, to give you the space you needed.
31:14And I'm not going to lie, it's not easy to sit here and listen to you talk about how much fun you have with another guy.
31:20Well, we've always been honest with 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 that there are things you're not telling me, things I might not even want to know.
31:29Okay, I don't think we should do this here.
31:30I'm trying really hard not to read into the fact that you and Holden flew home together, on a private jet, where 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?
31:45Are you and Holden the couple?
31:50It's not as bad as you think.
31:51What did you tell Claire?
31:53Not everything.
31:54Okay, well, did you tell her the truth?
31:56Or did you give her that fairytale version where you look like the good guy and I look like an evil bitch?
32:01I'm sure there's some differences between 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 could you have for giving that doe-eyed dits any information about what happened?
32:15Well, well, well, Mr. Cain Osprey.
32:28Are you here to accuse me again?
32:30No stealing your AI program?
32:34No.
32:36Well, then what?
32:36Are you following up on your lawsuit that you were threatening against Newman Media?
32:41Should I expect a subpoena soon?
32:43I wouldn't know. I have lawyers that handle that.
32:47Well, then it must be an update about the hugely altruistic act you were about to perform.
32:52Well, let's hear it.
32:54Though I don't think it's going to move the needle on the current public opinion of you,
32:57but I do very much appreciate you giving Newman Media the scoop.
33:02Yeah, I can understand how what I'm about to say could be construed that way.
33:05At least in your eyes.
33:07I just kept the boat, please, sit down.
33:11I came here for one reason and 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.
33:21That is, if you were to get your hands on it.
33:27And if that were to be the case, then 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.
33:40Today.
33:41Right now.
33:43What do you get out of it?
33:45The privilege of destroying the program.
33:48For good.
33:49The odds have been stacked against those two from the very beginning.
34:00The fact that they ever had a relationship 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, it appears that Victor has gotten exactly what he wanted.
34:16The fight is not over yet.
34:18The 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.
34:27Well, I know Kyle thinks that.
34:30The 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 aren't together.
34:43Not anymore.
34:44Or not right now, at least.
34:47And I'm sorry, but that means that it's not your business who I spend my time with.
34:55I know that's not what you wanted to hear.
34:57Yeah, 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 that we're not a couple anymore because 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, I hate seeing you with him.
35:13And that's not a jealous ex talking.
35:16It's someone who loves you.
35:17And still cares about your well-being.
35:19And I don't believe spending any more time with Holden is in your best interest.
35:24Whether it is or isn't, that's my decision to make.
35:29So you do have doubts.
35:35What the hell were you thinking?
35:37I didn't have to say anything.
35:39That'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, 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
35:53what happened, and that's because you wanted to hurt me.
35:56Hurt you?
35:57Yes.
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.
36:03I 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?
36:11A billion dollars.
36:18You sure you can cover that?
36:21Do we have a deal or not?
36:24Not sure you can hold up your end of the bargain?
36:26Oh, I assure you, I can.
36:28Hmm.
36:41Problem?
36:41What have you done, Victor?
36:45Next week, on The Young and the Restless, the reason I told her is because I didn't want
36:57Claire to take a deeper dive into what really happened.
37:00Because that is a story that neither of us wants to get out.
37:04By the end of the week, Kane could be out of business.
37:06Why aren't you happier about that?
37:10No, don't worry.
37:12Okay.
37:17When I got here, I walked in on Noah and Sienna in a compromising position.
37:22I haven't been able to get out of either one of them how serious this is or how long it's
37:27been going on.
37:28Did 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 and you get rid of the guard at its
37:39door.
