00:00Well, of course, we're excited.
00:01My brother Jack has redirected all his resources into Chabot,
00:04which means Abbott Communications has all the funding it needs to take off.
00:10Newman Media, are they still in business?
00:13No, we're not worried about the competition, especially those muckrakers.
00:18Look, at the end of the day, I believe in our team.
00:22We have fantastic people, and our co-CEO, Sally Spector, is a star, and the sky's the limit.
00:27Yes. No, no, no, I'm not going to do that.
00:32I'm not going to tell you who's on the team.
00:35But we are hiring the best of the best, and you can quote me on that.
00:39Ultimately, I think our product is fantastic.
00:41We're young, we're ready to do it, and you can quote me on that, too.
00:46All right, I'll talk to you soon.
00:48Anytime. Thanks.
00:52Hi.
00:52Hi.
00:53I just spent the last half hour singing your praises
00:55about how you're going to make Abbott Communications
00:57the toast of the town and the gold standard.
01:00Well, that's good.
01:02Uh-oh.
01:03What's wrong?
01:05I just spoke with Jill about bringing Audra on board.
01:08Let me guess, she doesn't like the idea.
01:10Just as you predicted.
01:12I'm sorry.
01:14I mean, I pitched my heart out to her.
01:16She wasn't even hearing any of it.
01:17She just kept saying, and I'm quoting her directly,
01:19that Audra's past precludes her from being a part of our future.
01:21Yeah, that's Jill speak for hard no.
01:27Audra, relax.
01:29Do not tell me to relax.
01:31I mean, what the hell were you thinking,
01:33spilling your guts to declare about her past in L.A.?
01:35You're making a bigger deal out of this than it was.
01:37No, I get to decide if this is a big deal or not,
01:39and it is a big deal to me.
01:41You know, if you wanted to impress Little Miss Sunshine,
01:43why didn't you book one of those corny,
01:45old-fashioned Hollywood tours that parks a stupid bus
01:48in front of those houses where celebrities don't live anymore?
01:50I guess they were all booked.
01:52You're not funny, Holden.
01:53You haven't been funny for a very long time.
01:55Hey, I'm sorry I upset you.
01:57But why did you do it?
01:59It was so unnecessary.
02:01Why bring Claire into something we agreed was off-limits?
02:03It kind of just happened.
02:05What?
02:06There was a, what, a lull in the conversation?
02:09Which wouldn't surprise me at all with her.
02:10So what, you suddenly got the urge
02:12to take a trip down bad memory lane?
02:14Listen, she's been...
02:15She's been pressing me forever about our history, okay?
02:18So then we went to the shadow room with...
02:19You went where?
02:23We went to the shadow room with Mitch and...
02:25Okay, I know what the shadow room is, Holden.
02:27That's right.
02:27So, of course,
02:29the topic of our past came up again.
02:32Yeah, I just...
02:33I can't believe you took her there.
02:36Given our history with that place
02:38and those people,
02:40what is wrong with you?
02:41Do you have a death wish or something?
02:49Do you have no telephone for me?
02:52You don't have anything.
02:53Do you have a...
02:57See you next time?
03:00Bye bye.
03:01Bye bye.
03:01We vão to the dialog.
03:02Bye bye.
03:04Bye bye.
03:07Bye bye.
03:07Bye bye bye.
03:07Bye bye.
03:09Bye bye.
03:10Bye bye bye.
03:11Bye bye.
03:12Bye bye.
03:13Bye bye.
03:13Bye bye.
03:15Bye bye.
03:15Bye bye bye.
03:17Bye.
03:18Bye bye bye.
03:19I appreciate you letting me know.
03:22I'll send word to the tech team so they can do whatever they can.
03:24Thanks.
03:31That sounds like bad news.
03:35You're really going to sit there and pretend like you don't know what just happened?
03:37I have no idea what you're talking about.
03:39You have my AI software.
03:42You just launched it against me and my company.
03:44You're going to deny it?
03:49Here you go.
04:03You know, it's not fair.
04:06Jill doesn't even know Audra.
04:08She knows enough to know that she's bad news.
04:11And she's not the only one.
04:13Okay, so?
04:14Ever heard of second chances?
04:15I think Jill used all her second chances on me.
04:18Sorry about that.
04:20Look, I know that Audra's a friend of yours.
04:22Yes, a friend who just happens to be very highly and uniquely qualified in exactly what we're trying to accomplish.
04:28That's fine, but this is Jill's final verdict.
04:31And, you know, her word matters.
04:34You know, Jill didn't exactly say that I couldn't hire Audra.
04:44What does that mean?
04:45Well, she just strongly advised against it and that ultimately she said it was going to be my decision.
04:49Yeah, that's the same as no.
04:51I speak and understand Jill, okay?
04:54What she's saying is that it's your neck on the line and if it doesn't go good, it's your head.
04:58Well, I'm still going to fight for Audra.
05:01She changed her mind about you, didn't she?
05:03I think that's very different.
05:05How?
05:07Because when you convinced Jill to come on board, knowing that I was still a part of the team, she probably said yes to the guilt, not because of my ability.
05:14Mm-mm.
05:15You're wrong.
05:15I saw her face when I pitched the idea of you and me running the company together.
05:20Her eyes lit up.
05:21That was not guilt.
05:22That was excitement for all the possibilities.
05:24If I could do it with you, I could do it with Audra.
05:26Sally, are you sure that Audra's the hill you want to die on?
05:29I believe in her.
05:30Okay.
05:32Look, just for argument's sake, let's say that, you know, Audra is the rock star because nobody's doubting her talent.
05:37But she has a long track record of being a very loose cannon.
05:41You want to risk that?
05:42Hoping that she stays on the straight and narrow?
05:44No, because if she doesn't, and she reverts to her old ways, that's it.
05:49Abbey Communications is no more.
05:51Jill pulls the funding.
05:53So you got a question.
05:55Is Audra really worth it?
05:58Worth your future?
06:00Worth our future?
06:04I cannot believe you took Claire to the shadow room.
06:07It's a nightclub.
06:09That's what people do in L.A.
06:10They go to clubs.
06:10But why did it have to be that one?
06:12I mean, there are hundreds of other clubs.
06:14In L.A., Holden.
06:16So what was the problem?
06:18Were you afraid that you weren't going to get past the velvet rope and your stupid little girlfriend was going to realize you're not as cool as you pretend to be?
06:24First off, Claire is not my girlfriend.
06:26Okay, that is not the point.
06:28I don't care who she is to you or what you did.
06:31But why did you have to take her to that place?
06:34The place that could bury us, bury me particularly.
06:38Huh?
06:39So, so, what was the angle?
06:41To just entertain crazy Claire with some dirt about me that she could use down the road?
06:46You're wrong on all counts.
06:48I don't know, Holden.
06:50This fits your M.O.
06:53To try to impress vulnerable women.
06:57Hmm, yeah.
06:58With a little dirt and a little scandal to get them all hot and bothered.
07:01That's your twisted idea of foreplay.
07:05And I bet it worked.
07:08I bet Claire got all excited about you revealing information.
07:12Our corruption.
07:13And she just couldn't wait to take you back to her room and just show you her appreciation.
07:19Did I call it, Holden?
07:22Is that how it went down?
07:23I have no idea what the hell you're talking about.
07:28I know it was you, Victor.
07:31Isn't that ironic?
07:33The very doomsday machine you were intending to use against other companies.
07:38It's been used against you.
07:40Is that mortifying?
07:42I would be if I were you.
07:44How did you do it?
07:46Hmm?
07:47Phyllis?
07:48Phyllis.
07:50Anytime anything goes wrong with some damn computer,
07:52everyone points to Phyllis.
07:54That's how it crossed the bear.
07:55You know I'm going to find out.
07:58I bet you will.
08:00And quite frankly, I don't give a damn.
08:04So, let me get this straight.
08:06You didn't have any kind of protection in place in case this kind of thing happened?
08:11That's not really the point here, Adam.
08:13No, the point is you're accusing my father of something in which you have zero proof.
08:17Yeah, kind of like the lies you put on your media platform about me and my father.
08:20Okay, and those weren't lies.
08:24God, we're going to have a field day with this boneheaded play.
08:28Aristotle Dumas is undone by his own Frankenstein monster.
08:32I mean, that sings.
08:33Let's not be too hard on him, okay?
08:36He's just reacting the way we would if this had happened to us.
08:42That's what he intended to do, right?
08:43To destroy our company, is that it?
08:45You're not going to get away with this.
08:49Well, whoever got a hold of this doomsday machine already has.
08:55You want to take me on?
08:58Good luck to you.
09:01Now, if I were you, I wouldn't waste any more time talking about this.
09:04Because you have a business to save.
09:07Right?
09:08Is that true?
09:25Did you really unleash Kane's creation against him?
09:28You know, there was a time when Audra was the only person who would have a cup of coffee with me in this town.
09:45My reputation was not as stellar as it is now.
09:48I know a little bit about that myself.
09:50Okay, then you should understand why I want to help her when she's down.
09:53I mean, come on, Billy.
09:57She's lost her business, she's lost her relationship, and she's running out of money.
10:00The girl deserves a break.
10:03Usually I would never argue that kind of opportunity to give to someone, but look...
10:10Sally, it's a big bet to make on someone, because if it doesn't go well, you lose it all.
10:16Audra needs this opportunity, so I really don't think she would do anything to jeopardize it.
10:21Maybe not now.
10:21What if she gets a little too comfortable?
10:24Look, okay, I know Audra's fault, Billy.
10:27You and Jill don't need to make a list for me.
10:29But I also know that she will work like a demon, and she will have my back.
10:33And that is very important to me.
10:37Because I didn't.
10:40That's not what I'm saying.
10:41You don't have to say it.
10:43I screwed up.
10:45I really messed up when I went down the Chancellor rabbit hole.
10:49Okay, and I didn't give you the loyalty or the support that you deserved, and I still feel bad about that.
10:59Okay, Billy, just stop.
11:01I've already forgiven you for that.
11:02I guess I haven't forgiven myself for it.
11:06And maybe that's what this is about.
11:07Maybe I'm being too hard on Audra, but I just, I don't want to see you get burnt again, Sally.
11:14Well, I think Audra is a benefit, not a liability.
11:20Especially when it comes to taking on Newman Media.
11:22She is a fighter, just like me, and she is not afraid to get her hands dirty when the other side plays rough.
11:29Okay.
11:31Look, it's your call, right?
11:34As your junior partner, I'm here to give you advice based on my experience.
11:38But you know what you need to do.
11:39You need to really look at this.
11:41You need to weigh the pros and the cons.
11:43I trust you, Sally.
11:47You'll make the right call.
11:52Audra, would you please calm down?
11:54Stop telling me how to feel.
11:55You know, this was so stupid, old and stupid.
11:57I don't want to fight you.
11:59No, you just want to ruin my life.
12:00If that were true, then why would I be telling you Claire knows what she knows?
12:04I don't understand why she had to know anything at all.
12:06She already thinks something suspicious went down between you and me in the past.
12:10Okay, the closer we got, the more she wanted to find out.
12:13So what?
12:15You tell her that it's none of her business.
12:17I already tried that.
12:18Oh, yeah, I'm sure you did.
12:19Well, it's not so easy when Kyle's around asking questions.
12:21And then, of course, Sienna piping in with her two cents.
12:24Listen, Claire was not going to let this go.
12:27Oh, so you know what you should have done next, Holden?
12:29What's that?
12:29Yeah, you should have told her to kick rocks and go back to fairytale land with Kyle.
12:34Oh, but of course, that means you wouldn't have gotten what you wanted.
12:37Your little conquest would have been interrupted.
12:39All right, now, if I were to do that,
12:40who's to say that she would have stopped trying to find out anyway,
12:43which would have been even worse?
12:45I can't see how.
12:46I can't see how.
12:46Audra, I told her a very careful version of our truths.
12:50I didn't want her to imagine anything worse.
12:52You still don't get it, Holden.
12:54You just gave that woman, who hates me with a passion,
12:57something she could try to use to sabotage my life.
13:00And there is absolutely no doubt in my mind she's going to try to do exactly that.
13:04Yeah, no, I don't care how many reinforcements you have to bring in.
13:10All right, now that the program is inside our system,
13:12there has to be a way to activate the kill switch.
13:15So, yeah, the more eyes on it, the better.
13:18What?
13:20Yeah, of course this is critical.
13:22All right, if we don't stop the bleeding, my company's going to go down.
13:26Keep me posted.
13:28That's funny running into you here.
13:29Your timing is impeccable.
13:31What does that mean?
13:34Never mind.
13:36It doesn't matter.
13:38Why are you so worked up?
13:41You know, it turns out that whoever stole my AI program
13:43just turned it against me and my company, so
13:45my company's collapsing from the inside as we speak.
13:51I mean, that has to be Victor.
13:53You know that, right?
13:55Yeah, and his accomplices.
13:58How do we stop it?
13:59I don't know.
14:02You know, we devised the kill switch, but we haven't been able to activate it.
14:06Okay, well, what if we can't activate it?
14:09I don't know.
14:10I guess it depends on what Victor's tech team ordered it to do.
14:14My guess would be full destruct mode.
14:17It's only a matter of time before my company is eventually destroyed.
14:22I'm sorry.
14:25Easy come, easy go, as they say.
14:26I mean, it's not easy.
14:30And it's not too late for us to fix this.
14:33We can fix this.
14:35Yeah, the odds aren't looking good.
14:38Maybe it's karma.
14:41Maybe this is the price the universe decided I have to pay for deceiving Lily and my children.
14:44I mean, it's a hell of a price, ain't it?
14:49Maybe I deserve it.
14:53Well, I have to hand it to you.
14:55I never saw this coming.
14:59You going after Kane first, instead of hitting Jabot.
15:04Yeah, well, he didn't either.
15:09I think it was downright brilliant.
15:12It was a perfect move.
15:14Kane thought he could play in the big leagues with you.
15:16Well, here's your answer.
15:19Yeah.
15:22You know, Garak, that doesn't even realize what will hit him.
15:25His company will be in total disarray.
15:29He'll be financially decimated.
15:31He'll run to the next damn bankruptcy court to salvage whatever's left.
15:36In the meantime, we'll move in and we will take what we want for pennies on the dollar.
15:40Yeah.
15:41It's a masterstroke, Pop, really.
15:43It was one of your finest.
15:45Thanks, son.
15:46You know, it was satisfying to watch his face
15:50when he realized that everything he had built up,
15:54his phony empire, began to crumble.
16:07Almost as satisfying as it will be to watch Jack Abbott
16:11suffer the same fate.
16:14You know, what if, what if Claire tells Nate or Amy?
16:26Why would she do that?
16:27Have you not been listening, Holden?
16:29She hates me.
16:30You know, Nate already thinks that I am horrible
16:32and this is just going to seal the deal.
16:34I mean, of course she's going to tell Kyle,
16:36but who gives a damn what he thinks?
16:39Oh my God, but if this gets back to Sally and Billy,
16:42it could ruin me.
16:44What are you talking about?
16:45My job at Abbott Communications.
16:47A job I haven't even been officially hired for yet.
16:51But if this gets out, I mean, that's it.
16:53I mean, what am I going to do then?
16:55Okay, Audra, let's take a step back, okay?
16:57I told Claire a version of our story,
17:00but I never mentioned his name at all.
17:02And that's supposed to make it okay?
17:04It nips it in the bud.
17:05Hopefully it satisfies Claire so she won't keep looking.
17:08That's right.
17:10Because then she'd find out you were a lot more involved
17:13than you probably told her you were.
17:14I told her my part.
17:15Oh.
17:17You told her that you took the cash I gave you
17:18to keep your mouth shut?
17:22Maybe I should demand a refund.
17:24It's very funny.
17:24I'm serious.
17:26What'd you do with that money anyway, huh?
17:29I bet you didn't share that little detail with Claire
17:31because you were too busy throwing me under the bus.
17:33I told her what I told her, okay, Audra?
17:36So you can be pissed, you can be paranoid,
17:39you can be whatever you want.
17:39I do not care.
17:41But the reason I told her is because I didn't want Claire
17:43to take a deeper dive into what really happened.
17:47Because that is a story that neither of us wants to get out.
17:55Is everything okay here?
18:03Hi.
18:06Hi.
18:07How did your meeting with Victor go?
18:09Uh...
18:09I ordered you a drink.
18:11Thought you might need it.
18:15Um, there was a lot to unpack,
18:16and I'm going to fill you in later.
18:17But I just got off the phone with a reporter
18:20that filled me in on the Abbott Communications launch.
18:24Do they have a date?
18:25Uh, not officially.
18:27But Billy, as usual, is running his mouth
18:29on how great and wonderful it's going to be
18:32and blah, blah, blah,
18:34and how he's going to bury Newman Media.
18:36He won't.
18:37No, I know.
18:39You know that.
18:40But we have to be on guard
18:42against whatever BS Billy throws out there
18:44because he's not going to be kind and gentle.
18:47Adam, I know conflict is inevitable.
18:49I accept that.
18:50We are competitors.
18:51I just don't want things to end up in the gutter.
18:53Well, that's up to Billy.
18:56Not just Billy.
18:58I mean, Victor plays a part in this as well.
19:02I think I might be able to get him to back off on that.
19:05Really?
19:06Sure.
19:08I mean, we could use Billy's
19:09canceled at the last-minute launch party
19:11and paint Abbott Communications
19:12as an inferior product doomed to fail.
19:16But I think the smarter move
19:18is to just leave it alone
19:20and wait to see what Billy's up to.
19:22And Victor signed off on this?
19:25I think he will.
19:26Which means he hasn't.
19:28Chelsea.
19:30Victor has bigger fish to fry at the moment,
19:33and he's already got one of them on the grill.
19:37Who?
19:38Kane.
19:41Dad, um...
19:42released the AI software
19:44into Airbus's operating system.
19:46Oh, my gosh.
19:48And it's working?
19:50By the end of the week,
19:51Kane could be out of business.
19:54Why aren't you happier about that?
19:59It's so funny.
20:00Oh.
20:01Just, you know...
20:02life.
20:05Me.
20:06God.
20:08He has a funny way of laughing
20:10at those who make plans.
20:12And I had a thought about
20:13what my father would say to me right now.
20:16Well, he wouldn't be laughing,
20:17that's for sure.
20:18I don't know about that.
20:19He had his fair share
20:20of wins and losses in his day.
20:21Well, not a loss this big.
20:23You know, but...
20:24But...
20:24I mean, it's not over.
20:26It's not lost yet.
20:27Hmm.
20:29Such an optimist, Phyllis.
20:30Well, when I have something
20:31to be optimistic about.
20:32Well, you know,
20:34this turn of events
20:35leaves you out in the cold, too.
20:37Unless...
20:40Unless...
20:41Tell me again.
20:43Phyllis said you had nothing to do
20:44with stealing my AI program.
20:46But I want you to make me believe it.
20:49I really...
20:51really want to believe it.
20:52Is it just me,
20:53or you two always together lately?
20:55It's just you, Billy.
20:57Is it really?
20:59You seem a little panicked.
21:00Are you trying to figure out
21:02how to get back
21:02that stolen AI software
21:04if it was actually stolen?
21:07It's just you in a nutshell,
21:08isn't it?
21:09A day late and a dollar short.
21:11Oh, well, please, Cain.
21:12Enlighten my uninformed self.
21:14Yeah, well, I don't have time
21:15for your conspiracy theories.
21:17I have fires to put out.
21:23I wonder what kind of fires
21:24those could be.
21:26Any thoughts, Phyllis?
21:27There's no problem at all, Sally.
21:41Audra and I were just
21:42reminiscing about old times.
21:47Oh, well, those old times
21:48seemed pretty intense
21:49from where I'm standing.
21:51Oh, you know how it is.
21:54Sometimes you look back
21:54on things that used to be
21:56important in life, changing,
21:57and it turns out
21:58they're not worth remembering
21:58at all.
22:00Okay, well, I'm really glad
22:02I ran into you
22:02because there's something
22:03I have to talk to you about.
22:04You know, it seems like
22:05I've lost my appetite, Sally.
22:07It's great to see you.
22:09Audra.
22:10It's always a pleasure.
22:11Do I even have to ask?
22:18Please don't.
22:19Okay, well, it looks like
22:19steam was coming out
22:20of your head.
22:21Yeah, well, Holden
22:22has a rare gift of always
22:23putting me in a bad mood
22:24whenever I run into him.
22:25Okay, well, I have an idea.
22:27Maybe don't engage
22:28when you run into him,
22:29or if he reaches out to you,
22:30just have something
22:30better to do.
22:31Great advice.
22:33Thanks.
22:35So, what kind of trouble
22:38am I in?
22:40Who said anything
22:40about trouble?
22:41Well, it's been my experience
22:43that when someone says
22:44we need to talk,
22:45it usually doesn't bode well
22:46for the person
22:47at the other end
22:49of the conversation.
22:52I'm not shedding any tears
22:54for Cain,
22:55if that's what you're thinking.
22:55No, that's not
22:56what I'm thinking.
22:58So, go ahead.
23:01I mean,
23:03as far as I'm concerned,
23:03the guy already had it coming
23:04for tricking the family
23:06into going to Nice
23:07and then holding them hostage.
23:09Where three people had died,
23:11don't forget that.
23:12So, I haven't forgotten.
23:15You know,
23:16and then the bastard comes,
23:17sets up shop,
23:19holds the entire town hostage
23:20with these AI doomsday threats.
23:23Listen, nobody at this table
23:24feels sorry for Cain.
23:26Trust me.
23:28Yeah.
23:28But,
23:29you're clearly upset
23:31or else we'd be
23:32ordering champagne
23:33and we're not.
23:37It's my father's next target
23:39that bothers me.
23:41Jabot.
23:43Mm-hmm.
23:44Along with the complete destruction
23:46of Jack Abbott.
23:48Well, you can't be surprised
23:49Victor would want to go there.
23:51I'm not.
23:53Plus, it's part of Phyllis' deal,
23:55Jabot for the AI program.
23:56But, Victor does not always
23:58hold up his end of the deal.
24:00I just...
24:01I wish for once
24:03he could just be satisfied
24:05in winning.
24:07I mean,
24:08the guy has everything
24:09in his life
24:10that he could ever want
24:11or dream of
24:11and it's never enough.
24:15It's a cautionary tale.
24:17For me?
24:18No,
24:19for everybody.
24:21People that can never be satisfied
24:23can never truly be happy.
24:24They just keep wanting
24:28and wanting
24:29and the need is insatiable
24:31and I feel sorry for him.
24:33Well,
24:33I feel a hell of a lot
24:34sorrier for Jack.
24:39What does Victor want you to do?
24:44He wants me to create
24:45some kind of diversion
24:46for the Abbott's
24:47so they will be distracted
24:49when he finally wants
24:51to drop the hammer on them.
24:52When is that supposed to happen?
24:57Clock's already ticking.
25:02Michael, Victor,
25:03what have you learned
25:05about Noah's associates
25:06in Los Angeles?
25:08And by the way,
25:09you and I were discussing
25:10business before.
25:11Have you made up your mind?
25:13I need your counsel.
25:14Things are heating up
25:15around here, okay?
25:16But don't wait too long
25:18because
25:19things are becoming
25:21rather urgent.
25:22Bye.
25:26As a matter of fact,
25:28yeah,
25:28I do know the fires
25:29that Kane is putting out
25:30right now.
25:31What are they?
25:32Like,
25:33I'm going to tell you.
25:34You had a chance
25:35to be part of our winning team
25:36and you blew it.
25:39Come on,
25:40winning team?
25:41There's not a whole lot
25:42of winning happening
25:43with you lately.
25:44Okay.
25:44Like you know anything
25:46about winning, Billy?
25:46I do know quite a bit.
25:48I noticed your partner
25:49seemed pretty upset
25:51about something.
25:52I'm thinking maybe
25:53things aren't going
25:54according to plan.
25:55See, that's the problem.
25:56You're thinking.
25:57And you're doing everything
25:58you can to avoid the subject,
25:59which means that
26:00you're in trouble.
26:00Okay.
26:01Um,
26:02we're fine.
26:04You should put less emphasis
26:05on me and Kane
26:07and more emphasis on,
26:08uh,
26:09what Victor's going to do next.
26:10I'm not worried about Victor.
26:12You're not.
26:12Oh my goodness.
26:14Well,
26:14you should be
26:15because it's only
26:15a matter of time
26:16before he goes after
26:17Jabot and Abbott Communications.
26:20I appreciate your concern,
26:21but both companies
26:21will be just fine.
26:23We'll be safe.
26:23Oh.
26:24Oh.
26:25Okay.
26:26Because you say so?
26:28No,
26:28because we were alerted
26:29and we took precautions.
26:31Um,
26:32let me tell you something.
26:33Once that software
26:34gets in your system,
26:36there's nothing
26:37you're going to be able
26:38to do to stop it.
26:39We have tools.
26:41Okay.
26:42For your sake,
26:43I hope that's true.
26:45You have a good day.
26:46And I really hope
26:47that whatever your partner
26:49is freaking out about,
26:50it gets solved.
26:52But it didn't look good.
26:58And good luck, Phyllis.
26:59So I had a conversation
27:14with the person
27:17who is investing
27:18in Abbott Communications.
27:19Oh,
27:19your anonymous investor?
27:22Yeah.
27:24They were concerned
27:26about your history.
27:29How concerned
27:31are we talking about?
27:33They strongly advised me
27:34not to hire you.
27:36I mean,
27:37that's it.
27:38You know,
27:38I am out of a job
27:39before I even get started.
27:40No, no, no.
27:40Hey,
27:40take a breath, okay?
27:41Because this is not over.
27:43I mean,
27:43it sure sounds that way
27:44to me, Sally.
27:45Audra,
27:45I'm still going to fight for you.
27:48Sally.
27:48No,
27:48hey,
27:49look,
27:49I'm not giving up on you
27:50or our friendship,
27:51okay?
27:52It's going to work.
27:54But how?
27:55Look,
27:55I love that you're
27:56sticking up for me.
27:57I do.
27:57But we both know
27:59that whoever signs the checks
28:00calls the shots.
28:01It's just the way it works.
28:02Okay,
28:03well,
28:03this particular person
28:04bought into my vision
28:06and my leadership
28:06100%,
28:07and that includes me
28:08putting together
28:09the team that I want.
28:10It just might take
28:11a little longer
28:12than we thought.
28:13How much more time?
28:17Well,
28:17once Billy and I
28:18get Abbott Communications
28:19up and running successfully,
28:21then I am sure
28:21I can convince the backer
28:23to bring you on.
28:23so more waiting.
28:27I'm sorry.
28:29Yeah,
28:29there's going to be more waiting,
28:31but it is going to happen,
28:32okay?
28:33Because our backer
28:34never gave me
28:35a direct order
28:36not to hire you.
28:38So I'm going to use that
28:39as a little wiggle room
28:40so that we can both
28:41get what we want.
28:42I hate
28:47that Victor does this to you.
28:49He hands you
28:49his dirty work
28:50so he can keep
28:51his hands clean.
28:53Well,
28:53I mean,
28:54it's part of what
28:55I signed on for.
28:56It shouldn't be.
28:57And it's not even necessary.
28:59I know.
29:00It's one thing
29:00to go after Kane
29:01when he was a threat
29:02to everyone,
29:02but he's been neutralized.
29:04Everything's fine.
29:05There are no more threats.
29:07Except for
29:08Victor
29:08planning an unprovoked
29:09attack on Jabot
29:10to satisfy
29:11some personal vendetta.
29:13Well,
29:13it's a vendetta
29:14that has been going on
29:15for decades.
29:16It doesn't make it right.
29:19Victor Newman
29:20wants what he wants
29:21and Jack Abbott
29:22in his trophy room
29:24is right at the top
29:25of his list.
29:26But Adam,
29:27could you do that
29:29to Jack?
29:30Chelsea,
29:31it kills me.
29:33Jack has not only
29:34been a friend to me,
29:36one of the few
29:37that I've had.
29:39I mean,
29:40you know he was
29:40a father for you to me
29:41when I came to town.
29:42when everybody else
29:45in this town
29:45was turning their back
29:46on me,
29:47including my own family.
29:49Jack,
29:50Jack somehow believed
29:53that there was more
29:54to me than
29:54the anger
29:56and the hurt
29:57that I was carrying around
29:58and I was
29:58taking it out
29:59on everybody else.
30:01That means
30:02a lot to me.
30:04It still means
30:05a lot to me.
30:05And he was right
30:07about you
30:08after all.
30:12And it's just
30:12what makes this
30:13so much harder.
30:15It's one thing
30:16to go after Billy
30:16not only because
30:17the personal history
30:19but he set himself up
30:20as a direct competitor
30:21to Newman Media
30:21but Jack,
30:24I don't know.
30:27You can always
30:28tell,
30:28Victor.
30:29No.
30:31He would see that
30:31as a betrayal.
30:32He would see that
30:33as me choosing
30:33Jack over here.
30:35Even though he's
30:35forcing you
30:36into this position?
30:37It just,
30:37it wouldn't make
30:38a difference,
30:38Chelsea.
30:40Victor Newman,
30:41when he gives an order,
30:42he expects it
30:43to be obeyed.
30:44All those who don't
30:45are banished
30:46from the kingdom.
30:49Well, now,
30:49this is a nice surprise.
30:52Yes, I,
30:52I realize that
30:53our arrangement
30:54does not entitle me
30:55to drop by,
30:55so don't worry.
30:56Did you hear about Noah?
30:57I did.
30:57Isn't that something?
30:58Yes.
30:59Yes, it's great.
31:01It's really...
31:02I was so worried
31:03about that.
31:04This could have
31:04really gone to arrive.
31:05Yes, it could have.
31:06It could have.
31:07I'm so grateful.
31:09I haven't slept
31:10in two or three nights.
31:11Yeah.
31:12I'm sure you
31:12and your family
31:13are relieved.
31:14I can't begin
31:15to tell you.
31:16So it brings
31:16you by him.
31:18I just ran
31:19into Billy.
31:21Billy Abbott?
31:21Uh-huh.
31:24What nonsense
31:25did he have
31:25to tell you
31:25this time?
31:28Well, he said
31:29that he and Jack
31:30have certain precautions
31:31set up to weather
31:31any kind of attack.
31:34You and I know
31:34that's not true,
31:35right?
31:37Yeah.
31:37Yeah.
31:38We do.
31:39Well, so let him
31:40think that, you know.
31:42Makes it so much easier
31:43to go in for the kill.
31:44Do you have anything
31:47set up on that front?
31:49What do you want to know?
31:53What do you mean?
31:55Phyllis.
31:57There's a victim
31:58no one you're talking to.
32:00You and I have
32:00known each other
32:01for a long time.
32:04Stop playing games.
32:05What is it
32:05you want to know?
32:08Are you setting up
32:09an attack on Kane's company
32:11because that was an ordeal?
32:12Thank you, Sally.
32:23You know, not a lot of people
32:25have my back these days.
32:27Well, you've been there
32:27for me.
32:28More than once.
32:29And that's what friends do.
32:33Well, you know,
32:33I, um...
32:35I will keep my distance
32:36from Abbott Communications.
32:38I don't want to become
32:39an issue with your backer.
32:40Well, I appreciate that.
32:43But when the time comes...
32:44I'll be ready to jump right in
32:45and hit the ground running.
32:46Yes, and that is exactly
32:47why I need you on my team
32:48because I know that
32:49you are going to do that.
32:50I know that I can count on you.
32:53It means a lot, Sally.
32:55Like, I promise
32:56I won't let you down.
32:57It never entered my mind
32:59that you would.
33:00Yeah, so
33:01we just got to get
33:02your money person
33:03to feel the same way about me.
33:05Yes, and I am sure
33:06I can do that.
33:06I just need
33:07a little time
33:08and a plan.
33:10And I do
33:11have a plan.
33:14I just wish
33:15we had more time
33:16to figure this out.
33:17Is there any way
33:18we could stall
33:19Victor from going
33:20after Jack?
33:22Well, we could
33:23take a page
33:24out of Kane's playbook.
33:25We could
33:25build a giant maze
33:27in Genoa City
33:28and we could
33:29plop Victor
33:30right in the middle of it.
33:31I actually really
33:32love that idea.
33:34I mean, it's a puzzle.
33:35He likes puzzles.
33:37It would take him
33:38a little while
33:38to find his way out.
33:40Okay.
33:40And then
33:41what do we do
33:42after that?
33:44Beats me.
33:46See, that's the problem.
33:48We've both tried
33:49to outmaneuver
33:49Victor before
33:50and we've failed
33:51miserably.
33:54Well, then maybe
33:55we should just
33:56stop trying
33:56to maneuver him
33:57at all.
33:59And why don't we
34:00just tell him
34:01how we really feel?
34:02Are you being
34:05serious right now?
34:06Chelsea,
34:06you're right.
34:08If we don't
34:09want to do
34:09what Victor says,
34:10the only choice
34:11is to tell him
34:13directly.
34:17I, yeah,
34:18I agree.
34:19I just didn't think...
34:21What?
34:21That I didn't
34:23have the guts?
34:23No, not that
34:24you don't have the guts.
34:25I just,
34:26I know how tricky
34:27this situation is
34:28for you.
34:28but at the end
34:32of the day,
34:33maybe it is time
34:33someone in your
34:34family stood up
34:35to Victor
34:35and told him
34:36he was wrong.
34:39Could you do that?
34:41Could you go
34:41against Victor
34:42to protect Jack?
34:46Let me understand
34:47you.
34:49You honestly think
34:50we were partners
34:50in this?
34:51Yes.
34:55Oh, okay,
34:56whatever we were,
34:57you know
35:00I gave you
35:00that program
35:01to go after
35:01Jabot.
35:02That was our
35:03agreement,
35:03not to go
35:04after Cain.
35:05And you will
35:05get what you
35:06asked for.
35:08Meanwhile,
35:09what the hell
35:09I do with
35:09the whole damn
35:10thing is my
35:11business,
35:11not yours.
35:12We are not
35:12partners in
35:13this whole
35:13project,
35:15are we?
35:15And what do
35:15you care
35:16what happens
35:17to Cain Ashby?
35:18You screwed
