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?
02:22Have you taken care of Cain Ashby?
02:23Have you taken care of Cain Ashby?
02:24Have you taken care of Cain Ashby?
02:25Have you taken care of Cain Ashby?
02:26Have you taken care of Cain Ashby?
02:27Have you taken care of Cain Ashby?
02:28Have you taken care of Cain Ashby?
02:29Have you taken care of Cain Ashby?
02:30Have you taken care of Cain Ashby?
02:31Have you taken care of Cain Ashby?
02:32Have you taken care of Cain Ashby?
02:33Have you taken care of Cain Ashby?
02:34Have you taken care of Cain Ashby?
02:35Have you taken care of Cain Ashby?
02:36Have you taken care of Cain Ashby?
02:38Have you taken care of Cain Ashby?
02:39Yeah, they're on board with the contract changes,
03:07so we should be able to get moving on production.
03:09Right away.
03:13Yeah, uh...
03:14Uh, Devong, can I actually call you back?
03:18Something... something came up.
03:20Okay, bye.
03:24Hi.
03:26Do 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, and they won't answer.
03:41I mean, I get it, they're still angry, I don't blame them for that,
03:43but I do want to ask if you think that maybe there's a chance
03:48they miss me at all, as much as I miss them.
03:51I'm grabbing a coffee and then head to the airport,
03:59so make sure the jet is gassed up and ready to take off.
04:02I need to get back to Los Angeles ASAP.
04:04Okay.
04:10Claire.
04:13Kyle?
04:13I was just thinking about you.
04:29I 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?
04:38I decided it was time to come home.
04:44So 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,
04:55and she was nice enough to let me.
04:57She is generous.
05:01She is.
05:02Usually when I fight commercial, I usually get stuck in the middle seat,
05:05but lucky for me, the seats on the Newman jet come 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 since I last saw you about us,
05:19conversations we had.
05:21I'd like to share those thoughts with you.
05:24Good luck.
05:24Good luck.
05:24Good luck.
05:27Much as I dread what's coming next,
05:30we 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.
05:54You 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,
06:06catching his opponent off guard.
06:08Like a snake in the grass.
06:09Like a snake in the grass, of course, for Victor.
06:12The Grand Master.
06:14The Master always stays one step ahead of his opponent in order to maintain control of the chessboard.
06:20And 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,
06:31the 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,
06:49only responding to what Victor does or doesn't do is maddening.
06:53What 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.
07:21I 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.
08:01I 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?
08:17Well, I appreciate you not wanting me to betray their confidence.
08:21But 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.
08:33Well, 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.
08:44And 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.
09:00Well, 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.
09:25Okay, 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.
09:35I'm not going to make a move on Jabot, as I'm being.
09:40But 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,
09:57I decided to hold off.
10:01How do you know that it was Cain that told the Abbot?
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.
10:18It's classic Victor Newman.
10:21Let him stew and sweat while you sit back and wait.
10:25Yeah, 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 leave that up to you.
10:43One condition, though.
10:46Which is?
10:47I 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.
11:29There's a 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 something.
11:40He 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.
11:51So, uh, 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.
12:11Okay, 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.
12:16Okay, fine.
12:18I will come.
12:19But just for a quick visit.
12:22Great.
12:22Oh, sorry.
12:29I don't mean to ditch you.
12:31No, no, it's, it's, it's all good.
12:33I have a lot of errands to run, emails to catch up on.
12:36We were, we were gone for a minute.
12:38Yeah, yeah, I just, I didn't realize that until right now.
12:41Yeah.
12:42Well, I'll, I'll call you.
12:44And you know what, if the candy doesn't ruin your appetite, maybe we can grab some dinner?
12:53I'm not sure what my plans are later.
12:55Uh, you know, I have a lot of catching up to do and I have to see my grandfather, so.
13:01Why don't we touch base in a couple hours?
13:05Well, sounds like a plan.
13:06Huh.
13:08All right, well, see you later.
13:10Okay, bye.
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.
13:26He's gonna be psyched.
13:27He's gonna be psyched.
13:27He's gonna be psyched.
13:28He's gonna be psyched.
13:28He's gonna be psyched.
13:29He's gonna be psyched.
13:29He's gonna be psyched.
13:29He's gonna be psyched.
13:30He's gonna be psyched.
13:30He's gonna be psyched.
13:31He's gonna be psyched.
13:31He's gonna be psyched.
13:31He's gonna be psyched.
13:31He's gonna be psyched.
13:32He's gonna be psyched.
13:33He's gonna be psyched.
13:33He's gonna be psyched.
13:33He's gonna be psyched.
13:34He's gonna be psyched.
13:34He's gonna be psyched.
13:35He's gonna be psyched.
14:05Look, I wish I could tell you what you want to hear.
14:16I just want to know, are you able to control this situation or not?
14:21Even 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 am very, very concerned.
14:42I don't even know 100% if Victor has it.
14:44Okay, are you doing anything to stop the use of it, whether Victor has it or anyone else?
14:49Yeah, my tech team's been working around the clock to try to remotely engage the kill switch.
14:55And?
14:56And they've been unsuccessful.
14:59Okay. Do you know if the program has been launched?
15:03No, Lily, I'm not able to verify that either.
15:05Look, the program is supposed to be silent.
15:07That's the whole point of it, so that it can catch his target off guard.
15:11I 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?
15:21Like, how could you be so reckless?
15:24What were you thinking?
15:28This isn't like you.
15:30Usually you're more involved when it comes to disarming your enemies.
15:35I trust you to handle the details.
15:41A blanket directive to distract the abbots?
15:44Um, 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.
15:57Okay.
15:57So, why do I get the feeling that you're somewhat reluctant to go after Jack Abbott because of your supposed friendship with him?
16:13Look, you know that I don't relish in going after Jack personally, but business is business, and ours comes first.
16:27Good.
16:27I don't doubt 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?
16:39Well, you know damn well that Jack Abbott and Kane Ashby are both planning a counterattack, so it'd be foolish of my part to just sit by idly.
16:48Are you ever not several steps ahead of everyone else?
16:51Rarely.
16:52You know, Phyllis Amos gave me the keys to the kingdom.
16:58I'm going to use it in a massive way.
17:04Kyle's flight must have taken off for LA.
17:15I hope he's able to iron things out with Claire.
17:17Watching him try to focus on work when his heart was somewhere else is just too much.
17:23What?
17:26Are you having second thoughts about urging him to go back to LA?
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.
17:37Because 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 Kane's AI 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.
17:57You 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.
18:39You weren't here for Halloween.
18:40And I'm sorry about that, but I heard a rumor that you got a major candy haul.
18:45The biggest, even more than last year's.
18:48How is that possible?
18:50Well, there was Connor's party.
18:53And major goodie bags there.
18:55There was 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, why is your hand so cold?
19:20I was playing hockey with Connor and some of the other big kids.
19:24Ooh, how'd that go?
19:25It was excellent.
19:27You like hockey?
19:28I love it.
19:29Today was my best day so far.
19:31And why's that?
19:32I saved a goal.
19:34Congratulations.
19:35Way to go, bud.
19:36How'd you do that?
19:37I stopped it with my leg.
19:40Oh no.
19:41Are you okay?
19:42I'm great.
19:43I even got a bruise.
19:45I'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?
19:59I'm sure it's getting more purple as we speak.
20:02You wanna see it?
20:04Of course.
20:05Yeah, I better take a look at this as well.
20:12See?
20:13Right there.
20:14Oh.
20:15Would you give me some credit?
20:19I wasn't completely irresponsible.
20:21Weren't you?
20:22No, we built in a fail safe.
20:24You just have to be in possession of the program to use it.
20:26Right.
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 gonna do is go after Jabot.
20:35Yes.
20:35It's occurred to me.
20:37Okay.
20:37How are you gonna rectify that with the Abbots?
20:39Went to Jack and Diane, and I told him about the theft.
20:42And 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.
20:48Look, 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 our children and you,
20:55knowing that I could have stopped this thing a little bit sooner,
20:57it keeps me up at night.
20:59Well, I really wish your conscience had kicked in when you first came to town.
21:02I told you I was sorely misguided.
21:06I'm trying to make it right.
21:08Are you?
21:09You don't believe me?
21:12I don't know what to believe, 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.
21:31And then you tell me that you're gonna get it back,
21:33but all of a sudden the situation's out of your control.
21:36Okay, don'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.
21:47I mean, it's bad enough if Victor is holding the cards,
21:50but then you add Phyllis into the mix?
21:51I told you it was just a hunch that it was two of them.
21:54Okay, well, if you're right and they're working together,
21:56they're not 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.
22:11Well, I trust you know what you're doing.
22:19I always know what I'm doing, Jim.
22:22Well, I don't expect you to divulge all of the details,
22:25given the sensitive nature of the AI program.
22:29But I am curious how you plan to use this to your advantage
22:32if you're not gonna be unleashing an attack anytime soon.
22:36You know, son, I've lived long enough to have learned
22:38that it is best sometimes to keep some things close to one's best.
22:48So you're really not gonna tell me what you plan to?
22:52No, son.
22:55Except to say that Kane Ashby
22:56will 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
23:11and 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
23:23because the only person that she's loyal to is herself.
23:27Look, I don't think whoever took the program
23:29is as important as the potential ramifications of the theft.
23:34Yeah, I agree.
23:36So it's a given that all the legacy companies in General City are vulnerable.
23:39But I want you to know I haven't given up
23:42trying 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.
24:01But you can't tell me your plans.
24:04I don't want to disappoint you again, Lily.
24:05But I promise if it all pans out, you will be the first to know.
24:12Please tell me it's not something dangerous
24:14like 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,
24:35to get their hands on the program
24:37that I wish to God I never commissioned.
24:41Look, I regret all of it.
24:43Every plan, every move, every step
24:45that I took as Aristotle Ma.
24:47If I could just hit the reset button
24:49and undo all of it, I would in a second.
24:51Because it has cost me everything
24:52that I truly love in this world.
24:57And you're right.
24:58I will be blamed
25:00for all the carnage
25:01from this thing.
25:06Unless I stop it.
25:08So to answer your question,
25:10yes,
25:11I'm going to confront Victor.
25:13But I'm not going to go in guns blazing
25:15and offer him
25:16something that he understands
25:18above all else.
25:20Which is what?
25:22A deal.
25:23I have to say,
25:29I'm impressed.
25:30That is going to be
25:31one nasty bruise.
25:32You think so?
25:33I do.
25:34And I think you're really brave
25:35for handling it so well.
25:36Even though I know
25:37it 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
25:46for one of those.
25:47Give yourself more time, bud.
25:49What's the biggest bruise
25:50you ever got playing hockey, Dad?
25:52Oh.
25:54You know how you stop
25:55the puck with your leg?
25:57I did the same thing
25:59with my base.
26:01That's so awesome.
26:02My dad didn't think so.
26:04He was just relieved
26:05I didn't lose any teeth.
26:06But guess what?
26:07I don't have a scar
26:08to show for it either.
26:09You know,
26:10all this talk of scars
26:11and bruises,
26:12you guys are so much
26:13tougher than I am.
26:14It always feels bad
26:15when you're hurt, Claire.
26:17But you always heal.
26:18Right, Dad?
26:22You know,
26:23I didn't get a chance
26:24to tell you
26:24how much I loved
26:25that picture of you
26:25in your Halloween costume.
26:26That was such a great idea,
26:28dressing up like the houses
26:29from The Three Little Pigs.
26:30Harrison deserves full credit
26:32for coming up with that.
26:33Only it was supposed
26:34to be the three houses.
26:36We could only be two
26:37because you weren't here.
26:38Sorry about that.
26:40It's okay.
26:41Maybe we can wear
26:42all three next year.
26:43I hope so anyway.
26:45Yeah, me too.
26:45You know,
26:47I think you would
26:48really love Los Angeles.
26:49Was it fun?
26:51It was.
26:52Who'd you go with?
26:53I bet you had
26:53the best time ever.
26:55Audra.
27:13Oh.
27:14Well, look who it is.
27:16Back from L.A. so soon.
27:18I was hoping
27:19you'd stay there.
27:20All right.
27:20Well, I'm sorry
27:20to disappoint you,
27:21but yes,
27:21I am back
27:22and so is Claire.
27:23Ugh, I was
27:25really enjoying myself
27:26not running
27:27into Little Miss Sunshine.
27:28What you still
27:29might want to steer clear.
27:31Of what was it?
27:32Oh, she couldn't handle
27:33big, bad, scary L.A.
27:36Or did she get bored
27:37when you introduce her
27:38to all those shiny,
27:39beautiful, happy phonies
27:40who call that city home?
27:42Audra.
27:44Okay, you're in a mood.
27:46I'm actually glad
27:47I ran into you.
27:48Yeah, I can tell.
27:50Well, I spent
27:50a lot of time
27:51with Claire
27:52when I was in L.A.
27:53Q, uh, let me guess.
27:55You realized
27:56all that fake innocence
27:57is a snooze
27:58and you wanted
27:58to be reminded
27:59what it's like
28:00to hang out
28:00with a real woman.
28:02Now, I'll take pity on you
28:04and I'll buy you a Vesper.
28:06All right, you know what?
28:07I was going to give you
28:08a heads up,
28:09but you're annoying me,
28:10so I'm...
28:10Wait, wait, wait.
28:12A heads up about what?
28:16While I was in L.A.,
28:17I came clean
28:19with Claire
28:20about our past.
28:21Our past?
28:26How much did you tell her?
28:29And what exactly
28:29did you tell her about me?
28:34I think we should take advantage
28:36of this limbo state
28:37and figure out
28:38how to counter an attack
28:40for when it does come.
28:42Yes, now that Kyle
28:43is on his way back to L.A.,
28:44we have one less thing
28:45to worry about
28:46and we can focus on
28:47shoring up
28:48or lines of defense.
28:51You know,
28:52I wonder
28:52what Claire would think
28:54if she knew
28:55that her grandfather
28:56was trying yet again
28:57to take control
28:59of Kyle's family business.
29:00Oh, I guarantee
29:02it would complicate
29:03her already conflicted
29:04relationship with Victor.
29:06And it might possibly
29:07bring her closer to Kyle.
29:09No, wait, wait, wait.
29:10We're not doing that.
29:13No, Kyle has an uphill battle
29:14convincing Claire
29:15to give this relationship
29:17another chance.
29:18The last thing he needs
29:19is his parents
29:20getting involved.
29:23So, what else
29:24did you and my dad do
29:26while he was in L.A.?
29:28Um, yeah,
29:29I wasn't out there
29:30long enough.
29:31I had to come back
29:31to go trick-or-treating
29:32with you.
29:33You know,
29:35I could not find
29:36these in L.A.
29:37Are they good?
29:39Yeah.
29:40Aren't you glad
29:41I saved them for you?
29:42I missed them on Halloween
29:43almost as much
29:44as I missed you.
29:47Wait.
29:49Did you go to Disneyland?
29:52I did.
29:54I went on Space Mountain
29:55and I played with
29:56a Jedi lightsaber
29:58and I thought about you
29:59the whole time.
30:00I even ate one of those
30:01giant pretzels
30:03in the shape of Mickey's head.
30:04Did you eat the whole thing?
30:07Actually,
30:07I shared it with a friend.
30:09Sounds like you
30:09and your friend
30:10had a blast.
30:12I guess that's why
30:13they call it
30:13the happiest place
30:14on Earth.
30:15This is the happiest
30:17place to me
30:17because my two favorite
30:19people on Earth
30:20are right here.
30:21Oh, Harrison.
30:26So, what else
30:27did you and your friend
30:28do?
30:30You don't want
30:31to forget to show
30:32Claire the costume
30:33you made for.
30:34Why don't you go upstairs
30:35and grab it?
30:35I just glued on
30:36some more sticks.
30:38Better make sure
30:38they're dry
30:39before I bring it down.
30:40Good idea.
30:44Don't go anywhere,
30:45okay?
30:46I won't.
30:47You should take him
30:58to Disneyland.
30:58He'd love it.
31:00If I did,
31:01I'd want you to come
31:01with us.
31:07Look,
31:07I know
31:08you're still
31:08probably not happy
31:09that I followed you
31:10to L.A.,
31:11but that's why
31:12I left,
31:12to give you the space
31:13you needed.
31:14And I'm not
31:14going to lie,
31:15it's not easy
31:16to sit here
31:17and listen
31:17and you talk
31:18about how much
31:19fun you have
31:19with another guy.
31:20Well,
31:20we've always
31:21been honest
31:21with each other,
31:22Kyle.
31:22I didn't think
31:23you would want
31:23me to hide it.
31:24I don't want that,
31:25even though I get
31:25the feeling
31:26that there are
31:26things you're not
31:27telling me,
31:27things I might
31:28not even want
31:28to know.
31:29I don't think
31:29we should do
31:30this here.
31:30I'm trying
31:31really hard
31:31not to read
31:32into the fact
31:32that you and
31:33Holden
31:33flew home together
31:34on a private jet
31:36where there's
31:36no middle seat.
31:38He was just
31:38trying to lighten
31:39the mood.
31:40Okay,
31:40I guess I do
31:43need to know.
31:44Know what?
31:45Are you and
31:46Holden the couple?
31:50It's not as bad
31:51as you think.
31:51What did you
31:52tell Claire?
31:53Not everything.
31:54Okay,
31:55well,
31:55did you tell her
31:55the truth?
31:56Or did you give
31:58her that fairy tale
31:58version where you
31:59look like the good
31:59guy and I look
32:00like an evil witch?
32:01I'm sure there's
32:01some differences
32:02between my version
32:03of what happened
32:04and yours.
32:04Why did you do
32:05it, Holden?
32:07We both agreed
32:08to let the past
32:09stay in the past.
32:10I mean,
32:10what possible
32:11reason could you
32:12have for giving
32:12that doe-eyed
32:13dits any
32:14information about
32:15what happened?
32:24Well,
32:24well,
32:24well,
32:25Mr. Kane Osprey.
32:28Are you here
32:29to accuse me again
32:30now stealing
32:31your AI program?
32:34No.
32:36Well,
32:36then what are you
32:36following up
32:37on your
32:37lawsuit that you
32:39were threatening
32:39against Newman
32:40Media?
32:41Should I expect
32:42a subpoena soon?
32:44I wouldn't know.
32:45I have lawyers
32:45that handle that.
32:47Well,
32:47then it must be
32:48an update about
32:48the hugely
32:49altruistic act
32:50you were about
32:51to perform.
32:52Well,
32:52let's hear it.
32:54Though I don't
32:54think it's going
32:55to move the needle
32:55on the current
32:56public opinion
32:57of you,
32:57but I do
32:57very much
32:59appreciate you
33:00giving Newman
33:00Media the scoop.
33:02Yeah,
33:02I can understand
33:02how what I'm
33:03about to say
33:03could be construed
33:04that way.
33:05At least in
33:06your eyes.
33:07I just cut the
33:08ball,
33:08please sit down.
33:11I came here
33:12for one reason
33:12and one reason
33:13only.
33:13So what's that?
33:14To offer you
33:14a deal.
33:16What kind of a deal?
33:17The one where
33:18you don't unleash
33:19my AI program.
33:21That is,
33:22if you were
33:23to get your
33:23hands on it.
33:27And if that
33:28were to be the
33:28case,
33:28then what
33:30would you offer
33:31me that would
33:31tempt me to
33:32accept that deal?
33:33a billion dollars.
33:36I'm serious.
33:38One billion dollars
33:39today.
33:41Right now.
33:43What do you get
33:44out of it?
33:45The privilege
33:46of destroying
33:47the program
33:47for good.
33:49the odds
33:56have been
33:57stacked
33:57against those
33:58two from
33:59the very
33:59beginning.
34:00The fact that
34:01they ever had a
34:01relationship is
34:02testament to just
34:03how much they care
34:04about each other.
34:04Enough to put up
34:05with Victor's many
34:06attempts to break
34:07them up.
34:08Thank God he saw
34:09how futile his
34:10efforts were and
34:11backed off.
34:12Although now,
34:13it appears that
34:14Victor has gotten
34:15exactly what he wanted.
34:16The fight is not
34:17over yet.
34:18The mere fact that
34:19Victor thinks they
34:20are not a good
34:21match is enough
34:23for me to believe
34:24Kyle and Claire
34:25are destined
34:26to be together.
34:27Well, I know
34:28Kyle thinks that.
34:30The question is
34:31does Claire?
34:33I don't want to
34:34hurt you, Kyle.
34:37Sounds like I
34:38have my answer.
34:40But what matters
34:40is that you and
34:41I aren't together.
34:43Not anymore.
34:44Or not right
34:46now, at least.
34:48And I'm sorry,
34:50but that means
34:51that it's not
34:52your business
34:53who I spend
34:53my time with.
34:55I know that's
34:55not what you
34:56wanted to hear.
34:57Yeah, you're
34:57right.
34:57That's not what
34:58I want to hear.
34:59But not for the
35:00reasons you think.
35:02No?
35:02No, I hate
35:03being reminded
35:04that we're not
35:04a couple anymore
35:05because I know
35:06that's on me.
35:06But Holden...
35:07Oh, come on.
35:08Can we please
35:08just leave him
35:08out of this?
35:09Yeah, I wish
35:09I could.
35:11But the thing
35:11is I hate
35:12seeing you with
35:13him and that's
35:13not a jealous
35:14ex talking.
35:16It's someone
35:16who loves you
35:17and still cares
35:18about your
35:18well-being
35:19and I don't
35:19believe spending
35:20any more time
35:21with Holden
35:21is in your
35:22best interest.
35:24Whether it is
35:25or isn't,
35:26that's my
35:26decision to make.
35:29So you do
35:30have doubts.
35:31what the hell
35:36were you thinking?
35:37I didn't have
35:37to say anything.
35:39That's the point.
35:39I meant to you...
35:40I didn't have
35:42to give you
35:42a heads up.
35:43Okay, so now
35:43you're doing me
35:44a favor.
35:44Yes, a big one.
35:45I'm protecting you.
35:46Oh, that is BS
35:47and you know it.
35:48Listen, if you
35:48would just calm down...
35:49You know, there's
35:50only one possible
35:51reason I could
35:52think of for you
35:52to tell Claire
35:53about what happened
35:53and that's because
35:54you wanted to hurt me.
35:56Hurt you?
35:57Yes.
35:57It wasn't about
35:58you, Audra.
35:59The hell it wasn't.
36:00I was a part
36:01of that story.
36:02A big part.
36:04I mean, why else
36:05would you willingly
36:05give that to an
36:06ammunition to use
36:07against me?
36:08I mean, how dare you
36:09put me in jeopardy
36:11that way?
36:16A billion dollars.
36:19You sure you
36:20can cover that?
36:21Do we have a deal
36:22or not?
36:24Not sure you can
36:25hold up your end
36:26of the bargain?
36:26Oh, I assure
36:27you, I can.
36:41Problem?
36:44What have you
36:44done, Victor?
36:53Next week
36:54on The Young
36:54and the Restless.
36:55The reason I told
36:56her is because
36:56I didn't want Claire
36:57to take a deeper
36:58dive into what
36:59really happened
37:00because that is
37:01a story that
37:02neither of us
37:03wants to get out.
37:04By the end of the
37:05week, Kane could
37:05be out of business.
37:08Why aren't you
37:08happier about that?
37:10No, no worry.
37:12Okay.
37:12Okay.
37:12I'm going to go to the
37:17next week.
37:17When I got here,
37:18I walked in on Noah
37:19and Sienna in a
37:21compromising position.
37:22I haven't been able to
37:23get out of either one
37:25of them how serious
37:26this is or how long
37:26it's been going on.
37:28Did you talk to Sienna?
37:29I did, but she didn't
37:30tell me anything.
37:31Like if her husband
37:32knows about this or not?
37:35What's next for you is
37:36you go back to Newman's
37:37hospital and you get
37:38rid of the guard at
37:39his door.
