00:00Cain, don't toy with me. I'm so tired of all of this flip-flopping and mixed signals. I'm done with it.
00:06I'm telling you, that's over now. Okay, you can stop wondering what side I'm on.
00:11Don't worry, I'm not wondering, I already know.
00:13Yeah, how do you know that?
00:15You're on Lily's side. I mean, she shows one bit of disapproval towards you, and all of a sudden, oh, you got to win her back.
00:23Okay, so based on that assumption, you think you know what I've decided?
00:26Well, yeah, I do, because you know what? You're predictable. Yeah.
00:31She just busted out of here. So all you're thinking is, oh, I got to go chase after her and get her back in my life, right?
00:39That's a bad thing.
00:40Well, it's insane. I mean, it's a definition of insanity.
00:44Making a mistake and then doing it over and over again, expecting a different result.
00:50Okay.
00:50I mean, especially when you can have something new.
00:52Yeah, that has been my pattern. But I'm done sitting on the fence.
00:56It's time to cut my losses and move on.
00:58Okay. Dare I ask, how do you intend to do that?
01:03I want to see Victor. I offered him arabesque for pennies on the dollar.
01:09Why did you do that?
01:11Well, figured I may as well do it now while it's still worth something.
01:16What did he say?
01:17That he would consider it.
01:18I don't understand this. Arabesque is your crowning achievement.
01:24It's a multi-billion dollar empire.
01:27It was until he decided to use my AI weapon against me.
01:31There has to be another solution.
01:33I don't see one.
01:35So you're willing to give it up just like that?
01:37Yeah, just like that.
01:41I won't lie. I am terribly concerned. This is a very risky move.
01:45Yes, it is.
01:46But if it manages to avert Victor's attack, then it's all worth it.
01:50Are you sure there isn't another way?
01:52We all just talked to you. The whole family. Nobody offered an alternative.
01:56I know, but it's...
01:58And we all agreed we have to do something.
02:01Do you have a different plan?
02:02No, no. We all know that Victor has the AI program, and he's already used it against Kane's company.
02:07Which proves he's willing to use it, and we know who his next target will be.
02:11Yes, but I have to wonder why he hasn't made a move on Jabot yet.
02:15Clay, I wonder the same thing.
02:17But we can't just sit around and do nothing, waiting for Victor to decide to insert it in our system.
02:23No, you're right, you're right. We can't just hope for the best.
02:25We have to be prepared for the worst. I just wish the worst wasn't so extreme.
02:29This is going to be tough, but at least we will still be in control.
02:33And we can anticipate the damage and do what we can to mitigate it.
02:37It is a whole lot better option than the disaster of Victor calling the shots.
02:55The disaster of Victor calling the shots.
03:25heading out anyway.
03:27Oh, look, Audrey, let me just say that I'm sorry
03:30that things didn't work out at Ivy Communications.
03:34Yeah, it really is a shame, isn't it?
03:37Well, you know investors, they're finicky.
03:41Yeah, I do.
03:42And ours is definitely finicky
03:43when it comes to adding people to the team.
03:46Yeah, no worries.
03:47Yeah, well, I'm worried
03:48because I don't want someone to snag her
03:50before we have a chance to hire her,
03:51which is still my plan.
03:53Thanks for the hangout, Sally.
03:56I will talk to you later.
03:57You don't have to rush off.
03:58We can all sit down and have a drink together.
04:01I really do have some place to be, so...
04:05Goodbye.
04:06Happy Thanksgiving.
04:07You too.
04:11Something I said?
04:11I think it's more something you didn't...
04:16Did she hear me say that?
04:18Yeah.
04:20What did you want me to say?
04:21Andra, I'm sorry that my mother
04:23doesn't trust you
04:25because you tried to steal her company from her.
04:27Well, I think she's just having
04:28a really difficult Thanksgiving.
04:30You know, last year she celebrated
04:31with Nate and Amy,
04:32and I think a part of her was hoping
04:33they would reach out and include her again.
04:35I mean, that would be a giant ask by Nate,
04:38don't you think?
04:38Okay, but Amy...
04:40I mean, I don't know.
04:41They seem to have a really close bond,
04:43and she knew that Andra
04:43was going to be alone today.
04:44Okay.
04:46I guess Nate has already moved on.
04:48Oh.
05:00Wow.
05:02It's nice to run into you again.
05:05Literally?
05:06Yeah.
05:08I guess we both had the same idea.
05:11Yeah, I'm just grabbing a soothing cup of tea.
05:13Hmm.
05:16You?
05:17Ginger, I, uh, overindulged.
05:21Well, you know, it's that time of year.
05:23It's hard not to.
05:27Um, listen, I don't know if you're busy,
05:29but, I mean, we could...
05:31We could share our tea together
05:33if you're free.
05:35Well, um, I have nowhere to be
05:38but here with you.
05:38Wow, so you went to Victor
05:43and you offered him your company.
05:50I can imagine the look on his face.
05:52Yeah, well, he was in rare form.
05:54It's mostly silent.
05:55Mostly glaring.
05:56Adam did most of the talking
05:57until Victor swept in to have a seat.
05:59Just imagine his condescending lecture.
06:02How dare you, how dare you
06:05and foolish of you
06:07to try to take out
06:10the only generosity Tycoon.
06:12I mean, really.
06:13How could you stand it?
06:15It wasn't easy.
06:18I'll bet.
06:18But I deserved it.
06:20No one deserves that from Victor.
06:22I lost my way, Phyllis.
06:23As my empire expanded,
06:27I allowed myself,
06:29my...
06:30my soul
06:32to be corrupted.
06:34I...
06:35I think you're exaggerating.
06:39When I look in the mirror,
06:40I see a man who is sick with greed
06:42and blind with power.
06:45Lost sight of what was important.
06:46No.
06:48I mean, you amassed a fortune,
06:50so that's kind of important too.
06:51Yeah, but love.
06:53Family.
06:54Trust.
06:55I mean, most things should be
06:56more important than amassing a fortune.
06:58You know, arabesque.
07:00It represents all of the...
07:03secrecy.
07:04The misguided ambition.
07:06I was just sucked into.
07:09I'll be a better man.
07:11I'll live a better life
07:12if arabesque dies.
07:13I need to cut my losses.
07:17So you're just giving it away.
07:19How much will you lose?
07:22That's what you're worried about?
07:23About my finances.
07:25Don't worry.
07:27I'll hardly be destitute.
07:29You won't.
07:31Well, I've...
07:32My personal assets, cash.
07:34I'll survive.
07:35Quite comfortably.
07:36I'll lay low while I build something new.
07:39I'll lay low while I build something new.
07:44So you're just gonna start again,
07:45start from scratch.
07:46Yeah.
07:47Yeah, I need to do that.
07:48I need to focus on reinventing myself.
07:52Again?
07:53Yes.
07:54Okay.
07:55What are you gonna reinvent yourself into this time?
07:57I don't know.
07:57I'm gonna get rid of my past mistakes
07:59and I'm gonna look to the future.
08:00Okay.
08:00What does the future look like?
08:02You.
08:06Phyllis, it's you.
08:08I want to merge our talents
08:09and I want to create something
08:11new and incredible.
08:14I choose you.
08:19Which means...
08:22Which means you don't need you, Bob.
08:32I do feel for Audra.
08:34Mm-hmm.
08:35Come on, I do.
08:36I know what it's like to be on the outside.
08:39And it's not easy on a holiday
08:40when everyone else is hanging out
08:41with the family and friends.
08:44Yeah.
08:44I know, but I have a feeling
08:45that this is not the first time
08:47she's dealt with this.
08:48And I got the feeling
08:49she couldn't get out of here
08:50fast enough once I arrived.
08:52Can you blame her?
08:54She thinks you don't like her
08:55and you don't trust her
08:55and you haven't really done
08:56a lot to disabuse her of that.
08:58Sally, I knew that my mother
09:00was not gonna want to bring her on board.
09:02Okay, so I was just trying
09:03to head off the train wreck
09:04before it actually happened.
09:06And was I wrong?
09:07Sadly, no.
09:09But I am still determined
09:10to change Jill's mind.
09:12Okay, well, that is down the road.
09:14Right now, we need to focus
09:15on our company.
09:17Happy Communications.
09:18Are we on for the launch or what?
09:20Yes, we are back.
09:22Fantastic.
09:22That calls for celebration.
09:24I'm gonna get you
09:25another dirty martini.
09:26Get myself a club soda
09:27so we can celebrate.
09:30Toast the future.
09:31Media moguls of the world.
09:32One more for the road.
09:42Chabot?
09:43Who said anything about Chabot?
09:45Come on.
09:47Phyllis, don't do that.
09:48Let's just put the shred to that.
09:50I have no idea what you're talking about.
09:52You just said that you were
09:53tired of doing the dance
09:54so let's just put our cards
09:56on the table
09:56and be done with it.
09:57I don't have any cards.
09:59There's nothing on my sleeve.
10:00Okay, then just come clean.
10:04Chabot is the company
10:05that you think
10:05that you are taking over.
10:06That is why you gave Victor
10:08my AI program.
10:11Wow.
10:11You have quite an imagination.
10:14You are such a visionary.
10:15Now that Victor has it,
10:17you plan on him
10:18stealing Chabot
10:19from under the evidence
10:19and giving it to you.
10:20You're still accusing me
10:22of stealing this software
10:23and now colluding with Victor
10:25after everything
10:26that we've gone through together.
10:28After all of this.
10:31And that's why you're still
10:32testing me
10:33and pushing me
10:33every single day
10:34because you think
10:35that I'm going to trip up
10:36and contradict myself, right?
10:38You will, Phyllis.
10:40You're good at this
10:41but I am better.
10:43And you're doing
10:44your fair share of pushing too.
10:45What am I doing?
10:46How am I pushing you?
10:47You keep telling me
10:48to be honest with myself
10:49and to let go of my stuff.
10:51Your baggage.
10:52Yeah, call it whatever you want.
10:53I just did.
10:54Okay, now it's your turn.
10:57Let's be done
10:58with this little
10:59cat and mouse game.
11:00Yeah?
11:02Tell me the truth.
11:07So, what's the next step?
11:10I mean, how do we even begin
11:11shutting down a multinational,
11:13multibillion dollar company?
11:14Well, first I'm going to
11:15have to speak to legal,
11:17get them up to speed
11:18and they're going to want
11:19to dot all the I's
11:21and cross all the T's
11:22and then we have to get
11:23finance involved immediately.
11:25They have to start moving
11:26all of our essential assets
11:28out of Jabot.
11:29And we'll have to find
11:30a place to hide those assets
11:31so that Victor and the AI program
11:33won't find them.
11:34Absolutely.
11:35And then,
11:37once that is accomplished,
11:38we're going offline
11:40completely.
11:40Jack, have you thought about
11:43how we're going to handle this
11:44from a PR perspective?
11:46What will you tell the press?
11:47What do we tell our consumers?
11:48I am definitely going to need
11:50your help on that.
11:51We have to come up with
11:52some kind of plausible narrative
11:53for why Jabot
11:54is temporarily halting
11:56future business.
11:59You know, it's a bit ironic.
12:01It's like we're taking a page
12:03out of Victor's playbook.
12:05I just hope it works.
12:06It will work
12:07as long as he doesn't
12:08get wind of it
12:09and change his attack plan.
12:11And if it works,
12:12it will stop him
12:13from completely obliterating
12:15the company from the inside.
12:17But Jack,
12:18Jabot is going to be destabilized.
12:21Are you ready to handle
12:22the fallout
12:23from a move this drastic?
12:24I realize it's a gigantic gamble,
12:28but it's one we have to take.
12:30Even though there's the possibility
12:32that Jabot won't recover.
12:34Honey, you could lose the company,
12:37your father's legacy.
12:39Are you really willing
12:41to take that chance?
12:46I don't know.
12:47I don't know.
12:47I don't know.
12:48I don't know.
12:48I don't know.
12:49I don't know.
12:49I don't know.
12:49I don't know.
12:49I don't know.
12:50I don't know.
12:50I don't know.
12:50I don't know.
12:51I don't know.
12:51I don't know.
12:51You won't.
12:52And then he'll be like,
12:53what?
12:53Why is this over?
12:55Hello, Nate?
12:57Victoria.
12:59Audra.
13:00I trust you had a nice Thanksgiving.
13:02I checked in with Amy.
13:05We did.
13:07And Victoria,
13:08I imagine Thanksgiving at the ranch
13:10is quite the affair.
13:12Oh, it is.
13:13Yes.
13:14We had a lovely meal.
13:17Yeah, Thanksgiving is a time for family.
13:21Forgiveness.
13:22At least that's what I've heard.
13:23You know, it's so nice to see you.
13:28Can be friends with at least one of your exes.
13:37But do you really think divesting yourself of arabesque
13:40will convince Lily that you're a change?
13:42Stop.
13:43Don't.
13:43Don't do that.
13:44What?
13:44It's not going to work.
13:45What am I doing?
13:45You keep trying to change a conversation to me and Lily.
13:49And we've spent plenty of time dissecting my motives
13:52and my moves.
13:53Now it's your turn.
13:54Okay, if you're going to continue to accuse me
13:56of stealing the AI software, I'm...
13:58Sit down.
14:01I get why you did what you did.
14:04And to be honest with you,
14:04I'll take full responsibility for it.
14:06Right.
14:06Sure you will.
14:07Okay, no, I yanked you around too much.
14:09Okay?
14:10And you were right.
14:11I couldn't figure out what I wanted.
14:12I had no idea.
14:14And you were patient.
14:15I'm not surprised that you got fed up.
14:18Despite all your waffling, I was loyal to you.
14:20I was always loyal to you.
14:22I know.
14:24So you needed something to latch on to.
14:26And you are so good with computers.
14:29I mean, you really are.
14:31You're a master and you told me that much yourself.
14:33But I mean, my software was cutting edge.
14:36It had state-of-the-art defenses.
14:37And you just blew right through it.
14:42I mean, it was brilliant.
14:43I am brilliant.
14:45I am a master.
14:48But I didn't use it for what you're saying.
14:53Phyllis, just take a bow.
14:56Look, to be honest with you,
14:57I admire that you were able to pull it off
15:00and parlay this into something better for yourself.
15:03You know, or so you think.
15:05Where are you going with all of this?
15:09I think that there's one major flaw in your plan
15:12from my perspective.
15:13And what's the flaw?
15:19You trusted Victor Newman.
15:22I mean, that man, he has ice water running through his veins.
15:25He's going to take what he wants from you
15:27and he will freeze you out.
15:29I am the genius, but you are really prone to conspiracies, Harry.
15:39Phyllis, if you keep lying to me
15:41and claiming to these denials,
15:43I am going to get fed up.
15:46You're going to lose me as an ally.
15:47So why don't we just put all of these mind games
15:51and all the deceit behind us
15:53and we can, we can build something new.
15:59Together.
16:00What is happening with Arabesque is proof positive
16:07that this is a highly destructive program
16:10that could destroy a company.
16:12I know.
16:12It's a frightening reality.
16:15Putting Jabot on pause is just as terrifying,
16:18but I have looked at it from every angle
16:20and it's really our only choice.
16:22Letting Victor into our operating system
16:24is not enough.
16:25No, no, of course not.
16:28We are going to survive this.
16:30We will.
16:30We'll rebuild.
16:32We'll be stronger, better,
16:34more successful than ever.
16:36You know, I really appreciate your optimism.
16:38I'm just, I'm just surprised
16:40that you're not angrier about all of this.
16:42Oh, I was a whole lot angrier at Victor last year
16:45when he released his venom on our family.
16:48No, that was a lot more threatening
16:49than anything he's doing now.
16:50Yes, he came after our son
16:52and he tried to use Kyle to destroy our family.
16:55It was personal.
16:55Well, this may be personal, too, for him.
16:58For me, this is a business attack.
17:01Now, I'm angry,
17:03but that's exactly what Victor wants.
17:05He is banking on our emotions,
17:08clouding our judgment,
17:09and us making the wrong choices.
17:11But in fact,
17:13Victor's the one who's going to be getting emotional
17:15when he realizes that you've outmaneuvered him again.
17:18Oh, seeing that smug smirk wiped off his face
17:21is worth any chance we take.
17:23Well, I know you don't mean that.
17:25But I want more than the satisfaction of stopping his attack.
17:30You're playing defense?
17:31I'm going to play offense.
17:33I want this whole thing to backfire.
17:35I want to turn it around on him.
17:38How?
17:38How?
17:39How?
17:39By proving that Victor's the one who's obtained the AI program,
17:42and he's using it against Arabesque and Jabot.
17:44And then I want him to suffer the consequences.
17:48What he's doing is illegal, Jack.
17:50And he should be held accountable in a court of law
17:53and, honestly, in the court of public opinion.
17:56I like the way you think, Mrs. Abbott.
17:58Oh, well, thank you, Mr. Abbott.
18:01All right, we've got this.
18:03You and Kyle work on shutting down Jabot,
18:05and I'm going to do everything I can
18:08to get the evidence we need to bury him.
18:10How about we move this brainstorming session
18:14to society?
18:17I could use a drink before I meet with the lawyers,
18:20and I'm about to make their lives
18:22a lot more complicated than they ever imagined.
18:25Well, it has to be done.
18:28It's going to be a long night.
18:30Once we set things in motion,
18:32there is no turning back.
18:34That seems a bit extreme, don't you think?
18:40No doubt.
18:42I mean, it's a risk.
18:43You're talking about unplugging the company
18:46so Victor's AI program can't get on the inside and destroy it.
18:50If that's really the only way?
18:52I mean, I don't have a better idea.
18:54We talked about it as a family,
18:56and this is what we decided.
18:59Look, ultimately, it's not my call.
19:01It's Jack, Diane, Ashley, and Kyle.
19:03Well, they're the ones running, Jebel.
19:05Yeah, but it's your father's legacy in Jeopardy, too.
19:08Oh, I know that.
19:09I want to save the company.
19:10There's no question.
19:10I'm just not on the inside making those decisions.
19:14Plus, I have my own company to watch out for,
19:16and we're about to take off.
19:20Well, it looks to me like you are already focused on that.
19:25You know, this is the first time
19:26that I've actually seen you this involved
19:28and excited about our company
19:30since you first brought me on board.
19:32I'm fired up, baby.
19:33You know, I'm really proud of you.
19:36The way you've stepped up.
19:39The sober, focused, brilliant man.
19:43It's exciting.
19:45It's very sexy.
19:46Oh, really?
19:47Mm-hmm.
19:48Yeah, this man I could fall in love with.
19:50Oh, wait.
19:52I already have.
19:53The man you fell in love with
19:55was a recovering gambling addict
19:57who was hell-bent on getting a company back
19:59that was stolen from him
20:00and got off on that chase.
20:03What, this new and improved, Billy?
20:07He'd be a little too boring for you.
20:11Okay.
20:12Well, why don't we just go home
20:14and I will show you just how un-boring
20:16I think it is.
20:18Oh, damn.
20:19That's an inspiring idea.
20:20Well, now,
20:27if it isn't,
20:29I certainly hope the two of you
20:39are having a wonderful Thanksgiving.
20:41It was wonderful
20:42until it wasn't.
20:43You know,
20:44I understand that
20:45Abbott Communications
20:47is planning another launch party.
20:49Do you think
20:50that will go off without a hitch?
20:52Yes.
20:53It's going to be spectacular.
20:54Really?
20:55Mm-hmm.
20:55So no one will pull the rug out
20:57from under you?
20:58No.
20:59Oh, that's not going to happen.
21:00What is going to happen
21:01is that Newman Media
21:02is going to take a hit.
21:04Really?
21:04You prepared for that?
21:06Oh, well, you know.
21:08You know what else
21:08is going to happen, Victor?
21:10The whole rug being pulled out?
21:11That's actually you.
21:13Oh, yeah.
21:13You're not quite
21:14on as solid ground
21:15as you think you are.
21:16Well, you two have
21:17a wonderful day, all right?
21:19Bye.
21:22How are things
21:23at Abbott Communications?
21:25I hear the launch
21:26is finally happening.
21:27Yeah, it's so exciting.
21:30Sally has a great vision
21:31for the company.
21:33You know, she's so inspiring.
21:34So, exactly where do you fit
21:36in the corporate hierarchy?
21:39I'm just there
21:40to support my dear friend Sally.
21:41Quite frankly,
21:44I am in the best place
21:45I've been in a long time.
21:48It's good to hear.
21:51Now, if you'll excuse us,
21:54Victoria and I
21:54were in a middle of a conversation.
21:56Oh, yeah.
21:57So sorry.
21:58How intrusive of me.
22:00I was just being friendly.
22:02Have a good day, Audrey.
22:03Good day to you both.
22:16Oh, my goodness.
22:17That's quite an offer,
22:18taking over the world
22:19with you in exchange
22:21for a confession.
22:22Why would I agree to that?
22:25Because it's my requirement.
22:26But that hasn't been
22:27our arrangement up until now.
22:29Well, no,
22:29but we did say
22:30that we were going to trust
22:31and verify,
22:32and I'm only verifying
22:33something that I already know.
22:34Okay, so if I were
22:35to hypothetically
22:36confess to something
22:38that I didn't do,
22:40but if I were to
22:41hypothetically confess,
22:43where does that leave me?
22:45You have two offers.
22:47All right,
22:48you have mine
22:48and you have Victor's.
22:50And who do you think
22:51is most likely to betray you?
22:54You know,
22:55I don't fault you
22:56for trying to take advantage
22:57of this opportunity.
22:58Really, I don't.
22:59I mean, to be honest with you,
23:00I probably would have done
23:01the same thing
23:01under the circumstances.
23:03You know,
23:03you actually did me a favor.
23:07Really?
23:08By pushing me
23:09into some baseless admission?
23:13Baseless admission?
23:14What are you talking?
23:14None of this is baseless
23:15to me, Phyllis.
23:16Look.
23:19Phyllis, we've
23:20played our games.
23:22We've had fun.
23:23Yeah.
23:25But it's clean slate time
23:26because if I can't trust you now,
23:28how am I ever
23:28going to work with you?
23:29And that goes both ways.
23:32I'll prove my loyalty to you
23:34by not punishing you
23:35for your bad behavior.
23:38But I'm going to need
23:41this gesture.
23:41I'm going to need you
23:42to take this leap
23:43and show me
23:43that you are loyal
23:44to this new venture.
23:47And then we can
23:48move on
23:49and build our
23:50professional future together.
23:54Our professional future?
23:57What does that mean?
23:58Oh, maybe we should go
24:05someplace else.
24:06Oh, not a chance.
24:10Well, look who's here.
24:11If it isn't Jack and Diana,
24:16my goodness.
24:18I'm nice to see both of you.
24:19Victor, I hear you've been
24:21using your newly acquired
24:22AI program to attack
24:24Kane and Arabesque.
24:27I got to say, I'm surprised.
24:28I thought your first target
24:29would be Jabot.
24:29You do realize that kind
24:32of activity is criminal
24:33and comes with a penalty,
24:34say, jail time?
24:37I don't know
24:38what you're talking about.
24:39Oh, come on.
24:40Cornice isn't become you.
24:43As soon as I heard
24:44that program was stolen,
24:45I knew it was you.
24:46I believe I told you as much.
24:48Oh, wait a minute.
24:50That was the night
24:50that you barged
24:52into my home
24:53uninvited, right?
24:55You were full of accusations.
24:57You still entertain
24:58those fantasies?
25:00I knew it was only
25:00a matter of time
25:01before you launched
25:02an attack.
25:03I didn't think
25:04your first target
25:04would be Kane.
25:05I gotta say,
25:08didn't see that coming.
25:11Good on you, old boy.
25:16But seriously,
25:24Johnny and Katie,
25:25they fight like
25:25cats and dogs.
25:27I mean,
25:28they can't stand each other.
25:30But the other night,
25:31I came home from work
25:32and we were both
25:33asleep on the couch
25:34and Katie had her head
25:35on Johnny's shoulder.
25:36Oh, yeah.
25:36So I took a picture of it
25:38so that I can show them
25:39the next time
25:40that they go at it.
25:41It's so cute.
25:42Let me show you.
25:45Uh-oh.
25:46What?
25:47Uh,
25:48I think my father's
25:49been trying to reach me.
25:51He wants me to meet him
25:51at Society right away.
25:53Oh, no.
25:55So, uh,
25:55you're not even
25:56going to finish your tea?
25:57Oh, well, I mean,
25:58he texted me a while ago
26:00so I should go.
26:02It sounds like
26:02it might be urgent.
26:04Thank you so much.
26:05Yeah, of course.
26:06Tea and conversation.
26:07Anytime, anytime.
26:08We'll catch up soon.
26:09Yeah, of course.
26:10Bye.
26:11Bye.
26:16So, am I wrong?
26:22Wrong about what?
26:24About Victoria
26:25still being one of your exes.
26:28Are the two of you
26:29dating again?
26:29I heard about the disaster
26:35befalling Kane's company.
26:37I mean,
26:37just,
26:38could have happened
26:40to a nicer person, though.
26:42Well, how lucky for him
26:43that the perpetrator
26:44was a rival
26:46without a conscience.
26:50Now, if you happen
26:51to refer to me, Jack,
26:52I don't know
26:52what the hell
26:53you're talking about,
26:54but
26:54Kane Ashby
26:56must be reeling.
26:57and you must
26:58be thrilled.
27:01You know,
27:03sometimes
27:04when he least expected,
27:06you'd knock
27:07on your ass.
27:09It's always about
27:09the last man
27:10standing with you,
27:11isn't it?
27:12You better do.
27:21Your empire
27:23is crumbling
27:23before your eyes.
27:24You don't have
27:25anything.
27:27to set
27:28a professional
27:29future on.
27:30You have nothing.
27:31Everything is crumbling,
27:32yet you're still
27:33handing me
27:33the same level
27:34of BS
27:35that you've been
27:36handing me
27:37forever
27:38and making demands.
27:40Not making demands,
27:41Phyllis.
27:41I'm asking you
27:42for the truth.
27:43I told you the truth.
27:44I keep on
27:45telling you the truth.
27:46You're not
27:47accepting it.
27:48I mean,
27:48you're giving me
27:49nothing concrete.
27:50Nothing is going to be
27:51concrete until I know
27:52I can trust you.
27:52I don't trust you.
27:54I don't trust you.
27:56For months,
27:57you've been playing me.
27:58For months,
27:59there is nothing
28:00sustainable with you.
28:01Phyllis, what I am
28:01telling you,
28:02tell me what you want
28:03today,
28:04and I will make it
28:05happen tomorrow.
28:07Okay.
28:10Yeah, okay,
28:11I'll tell you.
28:11So I believe
28:12you want to change.
28:13I really do.
28:14I believe that.
28:15But why do you
28:16want to change
28:16with me?
28:17Because...
28:18Phyllis,
28:20I told you.
28:22I choose you.
28:25What about Lily?
28:27Hmm?
28:30What about her?
28:32Where does Lily
28:33fit into all of this?
28:42Listen, Audrey.
28:43That's none of
28:44your business.
28:45You forfeited
28:48your right
28:48to ask about
28:49my personal life
28:50when you lied
28:50to my face.
28:52Repeatedly.
28:53I apologize
28:54for the misunderstanding.
28:56Misunderstanding?
28:57That's what
28:57you're calling it?
29:00You outright
29:01lied to me.
29:03I gave you
29:03the chance
29:04to be honest.
29:06I begged you
29:07to tell me
29:08about what happened
29:09in Nice
29:09and with
29:10Vibrante,
29:11and you kept
29:11lying.
29:12you even
29:14made it seem
29:15like I was
29:16wrong for
29:17questioning you
29:18about what
29:18happened.
29:20I apologize
29:21for everything
29:22I did.
29:23Profusely.
29:24That was
29:24from my heart,
29:25Nate.
29:26Doesn't that
29:26count for anything?
29:31But the way
29:32you're...
29:33The way you're
29:34looking at me
29:35right now,
29:35it's clear
29:36you're never
29:36going to forgive me.
29:37no matter
29:38how many
29:39times I
29:39tell you
29:40I'm sorry.
29:42Then it's
29:43obvious you're
29:43already moving
29:44on with
29:44Victoria.
29:51I know
29:52it's going
29:52to be hard.
29:55All right,
29:55but I need
29:55to get over
29:56Lily.
29:57And she's
29:57made it clear
29:58that she wants
29:58nothing to do
29:59with me
29:59and that
29:59there's no
29:59future for
30:00us.
30:02I hate
30:03to say
30:03I told you
30:04so.
30:04Then don't.
30:07You were
30:08right.
30:08All right,
30:08no matter
30:09how many
30:09hurdles I
30:09have to
30:10jump over
30:10with Lily,
30:11there's
30:11always
30:11going to
30:11be
30:11another
30:12one.
30:13It's
30:13never
30:14going to
30:14end
30:14with her.
30:15I destroyed
30:16her trust.
30:17And without
30:18that,
30:18there's no
30:18chance of
30:19us having
30:19a relationship.
30:20There's no
30:20chance for
30:21us to have
30:21a future.
30:22She's angry.
30:23She's bitter.
30:25She's blaming
30:25everything on
30:26you.
30:26No,
30:27she's not.
30:28She was
30:29honest about
30:30her feelings
30:30towards me
30:31the entire
30:31time.
30:32I wasn't
30:32lying to
30:32myself.
30:34Okay,
30:34but it's
30:35not all
30:35you,
30:35Cain.
30:39I need
30:40to move
30:40on from
30:40Lily.
30:43And I
30:43need to
30:43move on
30:44from
30:44Dumas.
30:45All right?
30:47I only
30:47want to
30:48look forward
30:48from now
30:49on.
30:52Good for
30:53you.
30:54I need
30:54something
30:54positive
30:55in my
30:55life.
30:57Something
30:58enriching.
30:58I know
30:59you need
30:59the same
30:59thing,
31:00too.
31:01But it
31:02has to
31:02be
31:02honest.
31:05And you
31:07want to
31:08do all
31:09of that
31:09with me?
31:11If you
31:12can come
31:12clean about
31:13the theft
31:13of my
31:13AI software,
31:14yeah.
31:15That's
31:15going to
31:16be a
31:16breaker for
31:16me.
31:17Because if
31:17you think
31:18that you're
31:18going to
31:18get your
31:18hands on
31:19Jabou
31:19using my
31:20AI software,
31:20I think
31:21that that
31:21is wrong.
31:24It's
31:24immoral.
31:26And it's
31:26the tactics
31:27I would
31:27have used
31:27as
31:27Dumas.
31:29And I'm
31:30done hiding
31:30behind
31:31Dumas.
31:31And I'm
31:32asking you
31:32to stop
31:32hiding,
31:33too.
31:33I'm
31:34not
31:34hiding.
31:36Fate
31:36has
31:36handed
31:37me
31:37an
31:37opportunity
31:38to
31:39change.
31:41A new
31:42chance.
31:44A new
31:44beginning.
31:46I'm
31:47offering
31:47the same
31:48thing
31:48to you,
31:48fellas.
31:51What
31:52do you
31:52say?
31:54Are
