00:00This is a great idea yeah, I think we really needed it
00:19How about those Packers?
00:20What are you doing?
00:27I just want to remind you I'm here. I'm sitting right here
00:31In case you wanted any general conversation, witty repartee, maybe even a hot kiss if you're lucky
00:38Oh, I am so sorry
00:41How could I ever pass up the opportunity to smooch the woman in my dreams?
00:46Smooch?
00:47Oh, yeah. Well, don't knock it until you try
00:52No
00:55That's more like it
01:01What are you doing?
01:03I'm just, you know, checking out my competition, seeing what has you so fascinated
01:08It's an article in this week's business journal
01:11Corporate world is buzzing about the rumored implosion of arabesque
01:15That bad, huh?
01:17Well, apparently the divisions are being sold off at lightning speed
01:20The company is pretty much imploded
01:22Wow
01:23All of Cain's hard work, his meteoric rise
01:27It's hard work
01:29It was all based on a con, courtesy of his daddy
01:32But he put a lot of time and effort into it
01:35Yeah, all while hiding behind a ludicrous fake name
01:40Yeah, wow
01:41Despite seeming like a threat
01:43Still could be
01:44I just kind of feel sorry for the guy
01:47Well, that's because you have way too big of a heart
01:50As far as I'm concerned, Cain's predatory software being turned back on him and blowing up his empire
01:56Is exactly what the guy deserves
01:59Sir, I don't think Cain deserved at all what you and your family have done to him
02:05Well, this is delicious
02:12Yeah?
02:13Uh-huh
02:14Good
02:15I'm glad you like it
02:17It's, uh
02:20It's actually from my cellar
02:23Oh
02:26Is it?
02:27Well, let me guess
02:28You have a train car that is climate controlled
02:33That's where you have your whole collection, right?
02:35Two of them
02:36Two of them
02:37Of course you do
02:38Well, here is to living in style
02:40What is this about?
02:50Dinner?
02:51Yeah
02:53I don't know
02:54Well, I'm glad you joined me
02:57I needed it
03:00Um
03:01Earlier
03:02You were going on and on about rekindling your sputtering flame with Lily
03:07And now you're done with that?
03:09You're moving on?
03:10And
03:11You invited me to dinner?
03:15You can see why I'm confused
03:16I'm just enjoying your company
03:18Doesn't need to be anything more than that
03:20Yeah, it does
03:23The only reason
03:25You asked me to dinner
03:27Is because something happened
03:29And I'd like to know what it is
03:39What was going on?
03:40I'm of course
03:42This isÉ.
03:43And I would like to know what you're saying
03:51You know, I changed my mind.
04:12What does it matter?
04:15You know, have I told you how lovely you live tonight?
04:18Yeah, you have.
04:19Twice.
04:22It's the third time.
04:25I just want to know what happened to bring us here tonight.
04:32I finally accepted reality.
04:33You don't accept reality.
04:34You make it.
04:36I'm attracted to you, Phyllis.
04:37I wanted to see you.
04:38That's it.
04:40Oh.
04:41Well, part of me loves that.
04:43Then the other part?
04:44The other part doesn't trust it.
04:47See, you change your mind a lot.
04:50You go from one extreme to the other.
04:53I mean, one minute you're talking about world domination.
04:56Then the next minute you're discussing peace on earth.
05:00One minute you're so in love with Lily.
05:03She's your one and only.
05:05Then the next minute you're asking me to dinner.
05:09Yeah.
05:10I mean, you can understand.
05:12I might think that you'd change your mind again.
05:15I won't change my mind.
05:15See, I wish I could trust that.
05:17Because you've already jerked me around a lot.
05:23And I just need to know what brought us here.
05:27I mean, I want to know what or who you have in your rearview mirror.
05:38Thanks.
05:41Oh, my gosh.
05:42Oh.
05:43Oh.
05:44Hi.
05:45Hi.
05:47It's good to see you.
05:49It's good to see you, too.
05:51I'm not used to you being struck speechless.
06:02Well, you know, I guess there's a first for everything.
06:05It's like the size of that coffee right there.
06:07I've never seen you order a grande at this hour.
06:10It's a work thing.
06:13It's learning the business.
06:15Although it doesn't feel like work because it's so much fun.
06:17All 500 pages of it.
06:21Uh, you, uh, you lost me.
06:23Oh, I'm reading a galley, and I want to have it finished tonight.
06:27A galley?
06:27What's a, what's a galley?
06:29Sorry.
06:29Yeah, it's, uh, the last step before a book gets published.
06:32Mm.
06:34That's great.
06:36Uh.
06:38Well, you know, I'll let you get back to work.
06:40And, yeah.
06:41It's good to see you.
06:42Hold on.
06:46I think we need to talk about what happened in L.A.
06:51Kane came after us.
06:54He came after everybody in General City, so he's not some innocent victim.
06:58I don't think he's innocent, but I think he made some bad choices.
07:02You think?
07:03You know, it's so easy to point a finger, isn't it?
07:06Um, hell yeah, it is.
07:08After everything that went down in Nice, Lili, people died.
07:13My brother could have died.
07:15Yeah, I know, Adam.
07:16I was there.
07:17It was a tragedy.
07:18And why he had you all trapped on the mountain.
07:20He's making plans to take over Newman, Jabot, maybe even your company.
07:24So, no sympathy, Lili.
07:26You can't deny Kane brought this on himself.
07:29I know.
07:30I'm saying that I think he's realized his mistakes.
07:33He wasn't going to use the software.
07:34He was actually going to destroy it, and then it got stolen from him.
07:38And you heard all of this from Kane.
07:40I believe him.
07:42Well, there's your mistake right there.
07:44Look, we all know that Kane wants you back.
07:48You want him to straighten up.
07:49So, he just says the magic word that he's going to be done with his evil ways.
07:53He's going to get rid of the software, hoping that you're going to take him back.
07:57Doesn't mean that he meant it.
07:58No, I think that he realized how destructive the software could be.
08:02Software he was willing to use until recently.
08:05Okay, look.
08:05We all have regrets, right?
08:07We all want second chances.
08:10Why doesn't Kane deserve the same?
08:11Because he can't be trusted.
08:14I personally am thrilled whoever stole the software has given him a taste of his own medicine.
08:18Oh, my God.
08:19Whoever stole it, really?
08:20I think we all know it was your dad.
08:22Really?
08:22Yeah.
08:23Do you have proof?
08:24It's obvious.
08:25He wants to destroy Kane, even though he's no longer a threat to him.
08:28How naive are you to think that Kane, after all of his threats, is just going to pack it up and back away?
08:36I agree with Adam.
08:37Why do you believe Kane, after everything he's done?
08:41Why are you defending him, Lily?
08:43What's changed?
08:44I screwed up.
08:48A lot.
08:51I thought I could trust my gut.
08:54That I was in control.
08:56It turns out, not so much.
08:58So now I have to deal with the fallout, figure out a path forward.
09:02I admit, I'm not on the steadiest of courses at the moment.
09:05Well, I've made choices that have blown up in my face, that's for sure.
09:10And I live to regret it.
09:12But, um, usually when you're ricocheting from one side to the other,
09:20it has to do with something or someone.
09:26Lily.
09:27Lily.
09:27Yeah.
09:28You see, the only time you do this is when she's rejected you.
09:34Then you kind of go out of your mind and you're trying to prove yourself to her all over again.
09:41Damn.
09:41I'm that transparent, huh?
09:43Well, to me, I mean, I get it.
09:45I really do.
09:46I understand.
09:47I think you created Dumas as a shield while you built your empire.
09:53And I think when your success skyrocketed,
09:58the line between Cain and Dumas became blurred.
10:06And you just don't know who you really are anymore.
10:13Well, we could talk about it,
10:17or we could just say that whatever happens in Hollywood stays in Hollywood.
10:20I don't want things to be weird between us.
10:24Are they weird?
10:25A little bit.
10:26Yeah, maybe a little bit.
10:28I like you too much for there to be any weirdness.
10:33But...
10:34There's no what?
10:35No, I just want to be clear about where I am.
10:37You know, this whole flying off to California thing
10:39is all about figuring things out, who I am.
10:43I mean, what I want.
10:46Well, we talked about that.
10:47You got some answers, right?
10:48Yeah, I did.
10:49But just because I'm home now doesn't mean that I'm done looking for answers.
10:53Part of that means I want to be as open and honest as I can with myself,
11:00also with the people that I care about.
11:02Well, I'm all for honesty and for being someone you care about.
11:06So...
11:07Lay it on me.
11:10It was a really good time.
11:11I had so much fun.
11:13You know, the sightseeing and the clubbing and the beach,
11:18all these things that I've never done before.
11:19And doing them with someone who let me be myself.
11:28It was really freeing, adventurous.
11:32But I also felt really safe.
11:36I'm glad.
11:37Then what happened on Halloween night...
11:43I didn't expect that.
11:49Is that what the problem is?
11:51What happened between us?
11:52There's no problem.
11:53I told you then.
11:54I'll tell you again.
11:55I have no regrets.
11:56Can I be honest, Bec?
12:01Yeah, you have to be.
12:04Yeah, I kind of feel like...
12:06I don't know.
12:07When we got back and ran into Kyle,
12:09I feel like maybe you wanted to go back to your old life.
12:14You mean back with Kyle?
12:15Well, yeah, it's pretty obvious they want you guys to be a couple again.
12:18And so, when you left with him to go see his kid,
12:23I took that as a pretty clear sign.
12:26The only thing that's a sign of is that I love that kid.
12:30And I wanted caramel swirls.
12:33Well, did you get him?
12:34Yeah, but not enough.
12:35Oh, okay.
12:39You're not going to get back together with Kyle?
12:42No.
12:44I'm not.
12:45But that also doesn't mean that I'm ready to jump into another relationship.
12:54That doesn't mean that it happened that night.
12:58It wasn't fun.
12:58It definitely was fun.
13:02I just...
13:04I don't know if it's going to happen again.
13:10I am not defending Kane.
13:12Oh, God are.
13:15No, I'm just presenting the facts
13:17because I don't think you have the whole story.
13:19Okay, Lily, help me understand.
13:22You've been very vocal about your disapproval of Kane.
13:25Condemning everything that happened to Nice,
13:27his agenda here in Genoa City,
13:29yet now it feels like you're his cheerleader.
13:31What's going on?
13:31Oh, I'm not his cheerleader.
13:33I just think that he deserves a chance to prove himself.
13:35He has more than proven what he's capable of.
13:38And now a thing called karma is kicking his ass.
13:41This sudden concern for Kane,
13:44is this about the kids?
13:45Because I could understand that.
13:47He's definitely taken a hit publicly.
13:49Yeah, I think we have Newman Media to thank for that.
13:51Okay.
13:52We're just reporting the news.
13:53No, weaponizing it is more like it.
13:55You want to protect Maddie and Charlie.
13:57And to do that, you need to protect their dad.
13:59I understand.
14:00I need to do something similar with Connor.
14:02This just feels more personal.
14:05You know, and I've seen you and Kane out together recently.
14:07Are the two of you getting closer?
14:08Is that what this is about?
14:10No, no, no, absolutely not.
14:12I'm still very hurt and angry.
14:14I just, you know, I've softened a bit.
14:18Okay.
14:18Why?
14:19What's changed?
14:21Because I see him making a genuine effort to make amends.
14:25The guy slid into Genoa City years ago as a con,
14:29and it looks like he's going back to his roots.
14:31So I don't think you can put Kane and genuine in the same sentence.
14:34You know, Kane's regret is very real,
14:37and he is really trying to make things up to the kids.
14:39He wants them back in his life.
14:41But how can our family heal when he's dealing with relentless public attacks?
14:46Well, maybe he should have thought about that
14:48before he went after half the people in this town.
14:50Look, I know that you and your family want to protect yourselves,
14:53given his original intentions,
14:54but he can't hurt you anymore.
14:56That's your opinion.
14:58That's not mine.
14:59You know, I just hope that you've done whatever damage you intended
15:02with your expose and the software,
15:04and now you'll move on to your next victim.
15:07Look, I can't speak to the cyber attack,
15:09because again, we had nothing to do with it.
15:12But as far as the rest,
15:14what happens to Kane in the future is up to Kane
15:17and what his intentions are.
15:20I remember my father telling me on his deathbed
15:24that Aristotle Dumas was just a name,
15:28not a person.
15:29And if I wasn't careful,
15:31the mask would burn into my skin.
15:34They told me that I should tell the truth to Lily and kids,
15:38because they were my family.
15:41I said, don't leave it for later.
15:44You know, I told him I wasn't ready.
15:48Why not?
15:50I don't know.
15:51Maybe I was, uh,
15:53afraid of their reactions.
15:57I don't know.
15:57That's what I told myself.
15:59Maybe it was because I just wanted to amass even more first.
16:03Who was that for?
16:05My family?
16:07Me?
16:09I don't think I
16:10liked the answer.
16:14I was selfish.
16:15Arrogant.
16:20No, I'm serious.
16:20Because, you know,
16:21if I had just listened to Colin
16:22and I was honest with Lily and the kids,
16:26then this whole thing probably would have played out differently.
16:28You know, but
16:28me, I thought I could control the narrative.
16:32I thought that I would be able to just reveal myself
16:34and
16:34everyone would just
16:37magically accept that I was Kane Ashby again.
16:40Well, what's stopping that from happening?
16:44You've said on more than one occasion
16:46that you find Dumas attractive.
16:48Okay.
16:49I mean, relax.
16:51I don't think I really said that.
16:55Okay.
16:56I like the vision
16:57that Dumas had.
16:59I like what you created with Dumas.
17:01I just do.
17:02I like his attitude.
17:04I just
17:04go for broke.
17:06I don't care.
17:08I mean,
17:09I like it because I'm like that.
17:12I understand that.
17:16I mean, that's all.
17:18You're like Dumas.
17:20And if that's the case,
17:22I'm sorry because I have every intention
17:24on burying him forever.
17:25One of the many things
17:33I've learned
17:33on this journey of mine
17:34is that
17:35I am
17:37just not ready
17:38for a serious relationship.
17:41I get that.
17:42And I respect it.
17:44But can I say that I am
17:46a little disappointed?
17:49Yeah, you can say whatever you want.
17:50It's actually your turn.
17:53Okay.
17:53A part of me hopes
17:57that you understand
17:59how much I just enjoy
18:00hanging with you,
18:02talking,
18:04hearing
18:05your perspective
18:06on things,
18:09hearing you laugh,
18:10your weird sense of humor,
18:12all of it.
18:12Hey, it's not weird.
18:13It's a little weird.
18:16Maybe it's a little weird.
18:20Is there anything else?
18:23Yeah, um,
18:25I feel like you're pulling back
18:26from our friendship.
18:27And I think it's because
18:28what I told you
18:29about my history
18:30with the hot drop.
18:33Is that what's happening here?
18:36After what I did,
18:37or almost did to my family,
18:39who would I be
18:39to judge someone else?
18:41I mean,
18:42they could have
18:42hated me,
18:44my family.
18:45They could have
18:45shut me out
18:46or had me locked up forever.
18:48But they didn't.
18:50They forgave me.
18:51And they helped me
18:52find the help
18:52that I needed
18:53to figure out
18:55how troubled I was.
18:56So,
18:58why wouldn't I
18:59extend that same
19:00kind of understanding
19:01to someone else
19:01who's done something
19:02they regret?
19:05You do regret
19:06what you did
19:07with Audra, right?
19:08Uh, of course.
19:09Of course.
19:09Are you sure?
19:16Look,
19:16all I'm asking
19:17is for a ceasefire.
19:19That's it.
19:21Billy,
19:21I don't understand
19:24how you can expect
19:25us to take it easy
19:26on Cain
19:26when he's convinced
19:29my family is responsible
19:30for the theft
19:31of his program.
19:32So,
19:33if he believes that,
19:34I have to assume
19:35that we're still
19:36in his crosshairs.
19:37He's not interested
19:39in retaliation anymore.
19:41Okay,
19:41well,
19:41you'll have to forgive me
19:42that I don't take
19:43your word for it.
19:44He's still very hot
19:45and bothered
19:46about the expose,
19:47about shooing
19:47the hell out of us.
19:49And there's a real chance
19:50he could still file
19:51some papers,
19:51so we have to be prepared.
19:54Yes,
19:54I understand why
19:55you need to keep
19:55your guard up.
19:56You would do the same
19:57if your family
19:57was at risk.
19:58Of course,
19:59absolutely.
19:59I'm just asking
20:00for a ceasefire
20:01if for no other reason
20:02than for my kids.
20:04Maddie and Charlie
20:05are very confused
20:06and hurt right now.
20:07And the Newman Media article
20:08made things worse
20:09and Cain is just trying
20:10to get back
20:11in their good graces.
20:12Maybe he shouldn't
20:13have lied to them
20:14for years.
20:15I understand
20:15you want to protect
20:16your kids,
20:17but I agree with Adam
20:18and this all begins
20:19and ends with Cain.
20:21How sincere is he
20:22about wanting
20:22to redeem himself?
20:23Yeah,
20:24Lily,
20:24come on.
20:25He was not a saint
20:26before Dumas.
20:27I mean,
20:27who is this perfect guy
20:29that you think
20:29he's going to revert to?
20:30I understand,
20:31okay?
20:31It's not the first time
20:32that he's lost
20:33the kids' trust.
20:34And that's why
20:35he's determined
20:36to become the kind
20:37man that they can
20:37respect and love.
20:39So he's going to
20:40become a Boy Scout
20:40just like that.
20:43Okay,
20:43I'm asking you
20:44to ask your dad
20:45to back off
20:45in the press,
20:47with the software,
20:48okay?
20:48Just give my family
20:49the chance
20:50it needs to heal.
20:51I want the best
20:52for you and the twins,
20:53but if you want
20:54to see Cain
20:55turn his life around
20:56and be this man
20:56he claims he wants
20:57to be,
20:58you got to go talk
20:59to him
20:59and have him
21:00stop the war
21:01he started.
21:07Wait a second,
21:08what,
21:08why bury Dumas?
21:10You created him.
21:13He's you.
21:14It's not like
21:14you're two different people.
21:17Like Jacqueline Hyde.
21:18No,
21:18it's not like that.
21:20Hyde was evil.
21:22I mean,
21:23Dumas is not evil.
21:25He just went
21:26after what he wanted.
21:27Yeah,
21:27well,
21:28going after what I wanted
21:28is what got me
21:29in this mess
21:30in the first place.
21:30Okay,
21:31listen,
21:31you're having
21:31a hard time right now.
21:32Big deal,
21:33you're having
21:33a hard time.
21:34I mean,
21:35use whatever name
21:36you want,
21:37but you,
21:38forget,
21:39you created
21:40a multi-billion dollar
21:43empire
21:43in six years.
21:46That's phenomenal.
21:50Did you know that
21:51when me and my father
21:53came up with the idea
21:55to create the alter ego
21:56while we,
21:57while we grew the money,
21:58we thought it was
22:00a perfect idea,
22:02you know,
22:02despite all
22:03of the obvious risks.
22:04Yeah,
22:05I'm sure
22:05Colin loved that.
22:06He loved it.
22:07And I learned
22:07to love it too.
22:08And,
22:08and,
22:09you know,
22:10when it actually worked,
22:11when we were actually
22:12able to keep
22:12my true identity
22:13a secret,
22:14we were both
22:15thrilled.
22:17I just didn't expect
22:18the persona
22:19to take on
22:19a life of its own.
22:21Right,
22:21like the mask
22:22burning into your skin.
22:23yeah,
22:24I thought I could
22:25handle all of it.
22:26I just made
22:26a lot of
22:28stupid assumptions.
22:30Like,
22:30whatever
22:31time I decided
22:33to,
22:33to tell
22:34Lily and Maddie
22:35and Charlie,
22:35the truth would be
22:36a fine time.
22:38I was,
22:39I just wanted to create
22:40a legacy for my family.
22:42I wanted to give them
22:43security and freedom
22:44so that
22:45they could do
22:46whatever they wanted,
22:47that they could be
22:48whatever they wanted.
22:50All they saw
22:51was the lie.
22:52We talked about this.
22:54Maddie and Charlie
22:55will understand
22:56the reasons
22:57why you did
22:57what you did.
22:58Yeah,
22:59it just seems like
22:59more of a long shot
23:00every day,
23:01right?
23:01I mean,
23:01it's just,
23:02it's,
23:03it's just crazy.
23:04I did what I did
23:05for my family
23:06and the only thing
23:07I succeeded in doing
23:08was lose them.
23:11you didn't lose them.
23:14And,
23:14and you know,
23:15I,
23:15I'm kind of over
23:16hearing about
23:17all your regrets
23:17and this whole attitude
23:19you have,
23:20this I'm alone
23:20in the world.
23:21No,
23:21you're not
23:22because you know what?
23:23You have me.
23:24You have me
23:25and I would never
23:27ever ask you
23:28to be
23:29someone different.
23:31I would never
23:32ask you to change.
23:34So,
23:34hey,
23:34don't kill Dumas.
23:36Don't kill that guy.
23:39Keep him.
23:40Just,
23:41you know,
23:41embrace
23:42the blur.
23:45Embrace it
23:45and let the rest
23:47of the world
23:47be damned.
23:54Of course,
23:55I regret it.
23:57What?
23:58But you don't believe
23:59that I'm sorry?
24:01I don't know.
24:02Something just feels
24:04off
24:04the way that you
24:05hesitated before?
24:07Well,
24:09maybe because
24:10it feels like
24:10you're watching
24:11me like a hawk
24:12trying to wait
24:12for me to mess up.
24:14That's serious.
24:15Hold on,
24:15I'm just being serious.
24:17I know you are.
24:18I understand that.
24:19And I'm trying
24:20to be open with you.
24:21I believe that you are.
24:22And I am maybe
24:25watching you
24:25like a hawk
24:26but that
24:26is the problem.
24:29I don't like
24:29feeling like
24:30I have to do that.
24:32I don't want you
24:33to feel like
24:34you have to do that.
24:34I've been clear
24:36about how I feel
24:38about secrets.
24:39You have.
24:40And I get it,
24:41which is why
24:41I told you
24:42what went down
24:42with Audra
24:43in the first place.
24:45You know,
24:45I took a risk
24:47telling you that.
24:50I hope I didn't
24:50make a mistake
24:51for us,
24:53for our friendship.
24:55If there was
24:56another part,
24:57something that wasn't
24:58so neat and tidy,
24:59would you tell me?
24:59How sweet.
25:06Are we an item now?
25:08I mean,
25:08canoodling over coffee
25:09Ellie must have been
25:10so exciting.
25:11Not now,
25:12Audra.
25:14Oh,
25:14and
25:14poor Kyle.
25:17I mean,
25:17he must be
25:17devastated.
25:18Not that any of this
25:20is a surprise.
25:22You know,
25:22Prince Boring
25:23overplayed his hand.
25:26Then
25:26he lost the goal
25:27of his dreams
25:28to us.
25:29Stokehold Flair.
25:34I have talked
25:35to Cain,
25:36and I told him
25:37that he has to
25:37end this conflict
25:38with your family
25:39and everyone else.
25:41That the program
25:41should be destroyed
25:42because whoever
25:43is using it against Cain,
25:45it can be used
25:45against whoever
25:46stole it.
25:47Well,
25:48that whoever
25:48is not my father.
25:51Okay,
25:51well,
25:52forgive me
25:52if I don't believe you.
25:54Because talk about
25:55untrustworthy,
25:56your father
25:57has said nothing
25:58but lie to me
25:59and manipulate me
25:59to get Chancellor.
26:01So I will stick
26:02to my theory
26:02that it's him.
26:04Excuse me.
26:05Well,
26:09that was interesting.
26:13Think that means
26:14she's considering
26:15giving Cain
26:16another chance?
26:18I don't know.
26:20But it would be
26:21Cain's saving grace.
26:22I mean,
26:22all he wants
26:23is to be reunited
26:23fully.
26:24So if that can give him
26:25some real hope,
26:27and then he leaves
26:28to the rest of us
26:29to the rest of us alone?
26:31One can only hope.
26:33But I'm not
26:33too optimistic.
26:35Okay,
26:35unlike Lily,
26:37I think there's
26:37a lot more
26:38Duma than Cain
26:39in the man
26:39that she's defending.
26:42I can't deny
26:43that there are
26:45things about Duma
26:45that are noteworthy,
26:47impressive even.
26:49But how do you
26:50blend those qualities
26:51with the man
26:52that I want to be?
26:52I mean,
26:52how do I live a life
26:54that my kids
26:54can be proud of
26:55while maintaining
26:56that cutthroat
26:57winner-take-all
26:57side of Duma?
26:58Okay,
26:58are you asking me
26:59because I have
27:00experience in this
27:01particular area?
27:02Yeah,
27:02because you do
27:02what you want
27:03and you don't care
27:03about the consequences.
27:05No,
27:05I don't.
27:05I don't because
27:06I'm passionate
27:07about everything
27:08that I do.
27:09And I think
27:10that what you're
27:11going for
27:12isn't totally
27:12unattainable.
27:13I mean,
27:14look at Victor Newman.
27:15He's able to
27:16maintain this sort
27:17of corporate
27:18pirate
27:19family
27:20dynamic.
27:22It works.
27:23Not a good example
27:24of a life model.
27:24It's not a good
27:25example at all.
27:26I agree.
27:27But it's a blueprint.
27:29That's what I'm saying.
27:30I mean,
27:30you know,
27:31I was part of
27:31the Newman family
27:32at one time.
27:34His kids worship him.
27:36They do.
27:38They idolize him.
27:39Even Adam
27:40has come around.
27:41No,
27:41that's called
27:42Stockholm Syndrome.
27:43I don't know
27:43what it's called,
27:44but you can have
27:45the best of both worlds.
27:47You really can.
27:49You can get
27:49what you want.
27:51I mean,
27:51you're fighting
27:52for your kids.
27:53you're fighting
27:54for your empire,
27:56for your family.
27:58It's like,
27:59you know,
27:59the Dumas
28:00side of you,
28:01he's going for it.
28:03I mean,
28:04he understands it.
28:05But,
28:06you know,
28:06the Kane
28:06side of you,
28:07he's like,
28:08oh,
28:08I don't know
28:09what to do.
28:10I want to make sure
28:10I'm doing this
28:11for the right reasons.
28:13I mean,
28:14this is your family.
28:16Fuck.
28:16Go for it.
28:18Fight for your family.
28:19And you will win.
28:22Yeah,
28:23well,
28:23you make it sound easy.
28:24Well,
28:24no,
28:25it's not easy.
28:26I mean,
28:26it's going to be hell.
28:27But you got to do it.
28:29And,
28:31by the way,
28:33I know you,
28:35and I know
28:36you're too smart
28:37not to have
28:39a backup plan.
28:41I mean,
28:41I'm sure you prepare
28:42for some potential
28:44attack on Arabesque.
28:45I know you did.
28:53I'm going to take
28:54that as a yes.
28:55Why does it seem like
28:56you have a plan?
28:58Because I always
28:59have a plan.
29:02I have an idea.
29:05Why don't you invite me
29:06up to your room
29:07for nightcap?
29:10And you tell me
29:11all about it.
29:11I just,
29:19I can't get over
29:20how Lily was
29:21sticking up for Kane.
29:22It's almost like
29:23she is excusing
29:25all the terrible
29:25things he's done
29:26just because he said,
29:27I'm a new man.
29:28No,
29:29it's ridiculous.
29:30And it's sad,
29:31actually.
29:33I mean,
29:33look,
29:33Lily obviously
29:34wants her kids
29:35to have a relationship
29:35with their father again,
29:36but Lily and Kane
29:38is a couple.
29:39He may be pretending
29:40have turned a corner,
29:41but I'm not buying it.
29:43I just hope Lily's
29:44not setting herself up
29:45for more heartache.
29:59I remember coming
30:00in here every night
30:00and getting you one
30:01when the kids were little.
30:03I remember.
30:05You used to also
30:05get the Madeline cookies,
30:07keep them up
30:08past their bedtime.
30:09Well,
30:09they loved them.
30:10Yeah,
30:11and you loved
30:11spoiling them.
30:13Those were good times,
30:14weren't they?
30:16Looking at you now,
30:17even after all these years,
30:18you haven't aged a day.
30:21You're still the most
30:21beautiful thing
30:22I have ever seen.
30:24So,
30:24what's it gonna be?
30:26Because either
30:26you hand the program
30:27over to me
30:28or this conversation
30:29is over.
30:30There's no other way?
30:31I want it immediately
30:32and I will have it
30:33destroyed.
30:36Then if I do this,
30:37it'll prove to you
30:39that I'm changing.
30:42It's a good first step.
30:44Then consider it done.
30:47Okay,
30:47so then you're done.
30:49You're done?
30:49No, look at me.
30:50You're done?
30:52That's it.
30:52I should just give up.
30:54I'll stop holding on
30:54to hope that I can,
30:55I can change your mind.
30:56Okay?
31:00You know,
31:00we could have had it all,
31:01Lily.
31:02We could have got it all back,
31:03what we once were.
31:05I know.
31:07But you obviously
31:08don't want that.
31:12You're right,
31:13some parts of me
31:13have changed,
31:15but so have you.
31:17Yeah,
31:18I have.
31:19Did I really
31:20screw things up
31:20this badly?
31:23Or did you just
31:23never love me
31:24as much as I thought
31:25you did?
31:26I hope this is
31:37to your liking.
31:40Very much so.
31:45So,
31:46why don't you tell me
31:50all about
31:50Phyllis Summers
31:51and this campaign
31:52to take over the world?
31:54Oh,
31:54okay,
31:55well,
31:56you know,
31:57thanks to you
31:57and your plans,
31:59I have to come up
32:01with something,
32:03some new endeavor
32:04I'm keeping very busy.
32:06I would expect
32:07nothing less.
32:07Yeah.
32:09One door opens,
32:10another one closes,
32:11you know,
32:11the whole saying.
32:12Sure,
32:13where you could
32:13find a brick
32:14and break a window.
32:16Maybe,
32:17you know,
32:18with your private stash,
32:19you'd be interested
32:20to invest in one of my new endeavors.
32:25What's the company?
32:27I don't want to say,
32:28I don't want to jinx it.
32:29Ah,
32:30wouldn't have it to be arabesque,
32:32would it?
32:32That's ridiculous.
32:34Oh,
32:34it's not ridiculous.
32:35I think it'd be kind of poetic.
32:38You steal my AI software,
32:41use it to decimate my company,
32:43and then you scoop it up
32:44for pennies on the dollar.
32:46L.A. was exciting
32:50for so many reasons.
32:53Uh,
32:54it must have been
32:54even more exciting,
32:55though,
32:55for you,
32:56back in the day.
32:58What is that supposed to mean?
33:00Holden took me
33:01to this really cool club.
33:02It was called
33:03The Shadow Room.
33:04Have you been?
33:05Well,
33:06there are a lot of clubs
33:07in Los Angeles,
33:08Claire.
33:08Let's,
33:09let's,
33:09let's head out.
33:11Actually,
33:11you're right.
33:11I do have a lot of work tonight
33:13because I have a job.
33:15Oh,
33:15yeah,
33:15and in today's news,
33:17uh,
33:17nepotism.
33:18Is it true
33:18that my grandfather
33:19is looking to get his money back
33:20because your plan
33:21to seduce Kyle
33:22totally cratered?
33:23Claire,
33:24Kyle is obsessed with me.
33:26What's that called
33:27when someone takes money
33:28to perform sexual acts?
33:30That wasn't
33:31the deal at all.
33:32All right,
33:32let's,
33:33let's,
33:33let's just,
33:34let's hold it down.
33:34You know what?
33:35You want to act all high
33:36and mighty,
33:37so pure and judgy.
33:39At least I didn't try
33:40to kill my entire family.
33:41Yeah,
33:41it was terrible
33:42and I've admitted that
33:43and I'll be trying
33:44to make up for it
33:44for the rest of my life.
33:45But you,
33:46you've never done anything
33:47for anyone
33:48other than try
33:49to get what you want.
33:50You have no boundaries,
33:52no morals,
33:52no scruples.
33:54Have you ever,
33:55in your life,
33:56tried to do
33:57the right thing?
33:58Look,
33:58you have no idea
33:59what my life has been like.
34:00All right,
34:01this is over.
34:02I can handle this.
34:04Oh,
34:04what a big girl.
34:05You must be proud.
34:06All right,
34:06this needs to stop.
34:07But we're having
34:08so much fun.
34:09Actually,
34:09I could change that
34:10with one phone call.
34:12So,
34:12if I were you,
34:13I would stay out of my way.
34:16Let's go.
34:16You know what?
34:17You're right.
34:18I will do anything
34:19to get what I want.
34:21So,
34:21if I were you,
34:22I would tread
34:23very carefully.
34:24Because I have no problem
34:26crossing whatever boundary
34:27I need to cross
34:28to get you to shut up.
34:29Is that supposed
34:38to scare me?
34:40It's just a warning.
34:41You're pathetic.
34:42You need to back off.
34:43You've nothing.
34:44You have no job.
34:44You have no family.
34:45You just have your mouth
34:46and your stupid,
34:47empty threats.
34:48Well,
34:48I can give you more
34:49than just threats,
34:50Claire.
34:51Now,
34:51let's see how quickly
34:52the boys come to your defense
34:54after I mess up
34:54that pretty little face
34:55of yours.
34:56Eric,
34:56back off.
34:57Claire,
34:57stop.
34:58She's not worth it,
34:59okay?
34:59Hey,
34:59just don't be such a downer.
35:01Let's see what she's got.
35:02Although,
35:02it's not going to take long
35:03before she realizes
35:04she is punching
35:05above her weight.
35:06Listen,
35:06we don't have to listen to this.
35:08Let's just go grab
35:08some food somewhere else.
35:09Or drinks,
35:10anywhere else.
35:11You still have to answer
35:12my question.
35:14What question?
35:17You'll find out
35:18soon enough.
35:21Everyone will.
35:21Wow.
35:29Are you trying to kill
35:32the mood?
35:37Are you trying to do a punishment?
35:38You don't deserve
35:39my good stuff.
35:41Oh,
35:41I think I've earned
35:42my good stuff.
35:43Oh,
35:43that's the thing about you
35:44is you think you've earned
35:45things
35:46and you haven't.
35:48See what's funny?
35:48Is
35:49I think that you're the one
35:51who's actually looking
35:54for the shortcut.
35:54I'm just looking
36:03for answers.
36:07I didn't steal
36:08your program.
36:11I didn't steal
36:12that software.
36:13I didn't.
36:14I keep on telling you that.
36:17Why would I want
36:18arabesque?
36:19It makes no sense.
36:20Yeah,
36:20because you're the definition
36:21of rational.
36:22Yeah.
36:23What I'm doing,
36:24it's totally different.
36:25It's another thing
36:26all together.
36:26It has nothing to do
36:27with you.
36:28You won't even tell me
36:28the name of the company.
36:29Because I'm mysterious.
36:30Why would I tell you?
36:31A woman needs to be
36:32mysterious.
36:33You ain't have a kind,
36:34you know.
36:35I'm going to take that
36:35as a compliment.
36:36I meant it as one.
36:37Good.
36:38You're beautiful,
36:39wickedly smart,
36:40and you're brilliant
36:41at the art of deception.
36:42And we both are.
36:43We're a match made in heaven.
36:44We both have trust issues.
36:46It makes me more interesting.
36:49Are you interested?
36:52I am.
36:52Do I have your attention?
36:58Like a thousand divers
37:01Walking over glass
37:06Hey, um,
37:16I'm sorry
37:19things got heated
37:21between us
37:22again.
37:23I just,
37:27I don't really know
37:28what to think.
37:29You know,
37:29it's like you say
37:30these things that
37:31give me hope
37:33and I want to believe you
37:35and
37:36I even find myself
37:40defending you.
37:41And then I don't know,
37:45I just,
37:45I think about
37:45everything that's happened
37:46and
37:47I just need time,
37:52you know,
37:52it just,
37:52it takes
