00:00Ask, King.
00:03How can I protect this company and my job?
00:08Whatever I can do to help, I'm ready.
00:12Leave me out.
00:25You show up and my day gets instantly better.
00:30Should I go back out and walk back in again?
00:32Stay right here.
00:35Standing?
00:36Whatever you want.
00:38What would happen if I sat right here?
00:40If you sat right there, now I'd have to buy you a drink and convince you to stay.
00:49Victor, where is Noah now?
00:53Well, when will he be free to talk?
00:56I've been calling him, I've been calling Nicholas.
00:58If there's a problem, no, it's not about trusting you.
01:09Yes, of course.
01:10Please get them home soon.
01:12It's been too long and it's the holiday season.
01:15Yes, thank you, darling.
01:20Oh, was that for my benefit?
01:21Thank you, darling.
01:23I have every confidence in your controlling the universe.
01:27Why, yes, Jack.
01:28Everything is for your benefit.
01:30How did you know?
01:31No wishful thinking.
01:32What was it about Noah?
01:33Yes, but all I know is that he's out of the hospital and Victor flew to Los Angeles with very little notice.
01:41Huh.
01:42Is that a good thing?
01:43Well, I hope so, but he says everything is fine.
01:48But until I talk to Nicholas myself.
01:51Okay, look, if Victor thinks he needs to be there, he needs to be there.
01:54Why, why ask him to rush back here when you know he's going to come back in his own good time?
01:59Oh, well, there's a shocker.
02:01You don't want Victor back in Genoa City.
02:04Do I ever?
02:06Is that all there is to it?
02:09Or is there more?
02:10Or is there more?
02:24Oh, well, anyway.
02:28Oh, well, anyway.
02:32Oh, well, anyway.
02:33Ooh, well, anyway.
02:36Oh, well.
02:37The End
03:07It's that simple, I don't want to add to your troubles
03:08There's just something about this that doesn't feel right
03:12All of them out there and I am here
03:15When Victoria and I went to Los Angeles
03:18Nicholas was very guarded about what he said to us
03:21And now I am in the dark again and there's nothing I hate more
03:25Did Victor tell you anything specific?
03:27No, I mean maybe the solution is for me to get right back on that plane
03:32And get the answers myself
03:37Can I get you anything?
03:43What? Oh, no, no, no, thank you
03:45Oh, sorry, I didn't mean to distract you
03:48I'll just, um, I'll just sit right here
03:50Kyle, please, are there any updates?
03:56Um, sorry, uh, yeah, just hang on
04:00Okay, um, we have started transferring Jabot's assets
04:07From our corporate accounts to cloaked offshore ones
04:10Sounds so simple, yet it turns my stomach
04:13Yeah, we have to be painstakingly careful about this
04:15Even the minutiae could come back to bite us
04:17All right, but is there anything on your screen
04:19The transferring of assets that can prove to you
04:21That Victor is launching that program against us?
04:23We can't be sure of that right now
04:25But there are no red flags or alarm bells so far
04:28Why can't we be sure?
04:30Because we have no idea how this program actually functions
04:33How many layers there are
04:34I mean, does it send an activity report back to the owner?
04:38If it does, is it a continuous update, for instance?
04:41Or is it a daily report, Kenneth?
04:43In fact, in Propagate, is there a chance that
04:45The program could be transferred with the assets of the cloaked offshore accounts
04:48Which would flatten Jabot entirely?
04:50All right, this program is diabolical
04:51Only a menace like Cain would commission it
04:55And only a bastard like Victor would use it
04:57Mom, a lot of people would use it
04:59I'm not saying it's right or wrong, but they would
05:02Right now, though, yes
05:04Victor is the issue
05:05I meant what I said
05:07I will find hard evidence to prove that he's the one controlling it right now
05:11And make sure he's held accountable
05:13They got Al Capone on taxes
05:15We can give Victor Newman this way
05:17Nothing would make me happier
05:19Great, well, I will leave you to it
05:21Yeah
05:22We all have our battle stations
05:24Divide, conquer, and hope for the best
05:28Yeah, there's no other choice
05:29I have to admit, though
05:32There's a very big chance this could end badly
05:36Which would mean there'd be no coming back from Jabot
05:38Are you sure caffeine is the best choice right now?
05:50I have a lot to do tonight
05:51What adrenaline doesn't cover, coffee will
05:55Yeah, well, anxiety is my caffeine
05:57I know I need sleep, and so does your father
05:59But I get in bed, and I shut my eyes
06:01And then this midnight horror movie
06:03Keeps playing over and over again
06:05Where Victor tells some minion to push a button
06:08And poof, Jabot collapses
06:10You deal with all that while Dad sleeps beside you
06:13No, he doesn't
06:14How can he?
06:15Poor guy
06:15You know what?
06:16Come to think of it
06:17I should probably just use one of the guest rooms
06:18Or maybe
06:19You need to find a way to sleep
06:21Well, that's not possible
06:23As long as this insane program exists
06:25I just wish there had been a way
06:27That we could have destroyed it
06:28When it was still in Cain's hands
06:30Or at least make it less dangerous
06:31Mom, that was never gonna happen
06:32Too many people want this level of power
06:35I know, and what-ifs and should-haves are useless
06:38But the thought of Victor Newman
06:41Attacking this family again makes my blood boil
06:44Mom, your mind is harping on the past
06:47We have moved forward
06:48Victor will attack
06:49That isn't the question
06:50Now we focus on what we can do
06:52Before, during, and after
06:54You're right
06:56I saw Dad before he left
07:00I really am half you and half him
07:03Oh, no, no, no
07:04You are much more your father
07:05Thank God for that
07:07Not about this
07:08I'm half worked up
07:10Half chill
07:12Oh, he's not chill
07:13Decades of dealing with Victor Newman
07:16Have left him battle-scarred
07:18No, no, no
07:18That pretense of calm
07:20Is just for our benefit
07:21That man has the weight of John Abbott's legacy on his shoulders
07:25Well, I promise
07:27I will do what I can to lighten the load
07:29I'm afraid this won't be over anytime soon
07:32Well, what if it's already over and we don't even know it?
07:35What if that time bomb is already in our system
07:37And it's warming its way through our company?
07:39Mom, there isn't anything that indicates that so far
07:41Yeah, but that doesn't mean it's not happening
07:43We could be all but wiped out and not even know it
07:46Mom, now is not the time to spin out
07:49But it is too early in the game for that
07:50I'm not spinning out
07:51I'm being realistic
07:54I mean, maybe our system is pristine and untouched
07:59Maybe
08:00But this whole defensive maneuver of shutting down Jabot
08:05In order to resuscitate it later
08:07Our bottom line is going to take a massive hit
08:10And as you said before, Kyle
08:11Jabot might never recover
08:14What then?
08:15If your father loses your company
08:19Do you know what it'll do to him?
08:22And do you know what it will do to him
08:23Knowing that Victor won?
08:28Hey, if you feel you need to get to Los Angeles, do it
08:31Or would Victor prefer you to stay here?
08:34No, it's not a matter of that
08:36No, of course not
08:37He said they would be home as soon as possible
08:40Well, that sounds like a good thing
08:42It does
08:44You don't seem convinced
08:46Well, how can I be when I don't know all of the information?
08:51My family thinks that they have to protect me from the truth
08:55Protect you?
08:58From what?
08:59Who knows?
09:01They always say that I'm strong and resilient and the backbone of the family
09:06But then, they keep secrets
09:08As if I will just fall apart if I learn the truth
09:11You are strong
09:12You are the backbone of this family
09:13More than that, you are a source of strength for many people in this town
09:17That doesn't mean the people who love you want you drowning in stress
09:21That's what you do, isn't it?
09:24You hold back to protect the people that you love?
09:28Exactly
09:28Well, it's insulting
09:30Making decisions for people who can decide on their own
09:33For very good reasons
09:34Has anybody ever thanked you for doing that?
09:38Let me think about that
09:39No, they haven't
09:41Yeah, old habits are hard to shake
09:43Am I wrong?
09:45Or were you relieved to hear that Victor was out of town?
09:48Relieved? Delighted would be the word I choose
09:51Be careful, I might start my happy dance
09:53You know, when you and Victor reached your truce not that long ago
09:58I knew that it wasn't going to last forever
10:00But I sure do miss those days
10:03It couldn't last forever
10:05Because his hatred toward me is the blood in his veins
10:09The oxygen in his lungs
10:11If nothing had happened between the two of us
10:13In that hotel suite
10:14He would still find some reason to come after me
10:17His latest threats are proof positive of that point
10:20What has Victor done now?
10:27Thank you for the invite, but I'm actually meeting someone
10:30I guess a rain check for another night
10:34Or just maybe
10:36I can buy you both a drink
10:38Maybe they don't know the beauty of a wonderful Vesper
10:42Yeah, I don't think any of us are ready for that
10:45I'm meeting Kyle
10:46Should I even ask what that's about?
10:50Oh, yeah, it's just a drink, that's all
10:53So it's not a statement or decision?
10:58Still just a drink
10:59If you don't want to tell me, it's fine
11:02What are you asking, Holden?
11:05Well, I can't help but wonder that you've already made up your mind
11:08You mean about Kyle?
11:11About me
11:11Things feel different since LA
11:16I don't know if it was too much too soon with us
11:21Or what I told you
11:23But there's a distance
11:25I told you
11:27I know, and you denied that anything was wrong
11:29Which is why I feel like it's a risk for me to even bring it up
11:33Like I'm pushing you too far and you're just going to walk away
11:36But if this change is about us, then talk to me
11:41So I can try to fix it
11:43And if it's about what I told you, my history with Audra, then
11:47It isn't about what you told me
11:50It's about what I think you didn't tell me
11:52Well, I appreciate you admitting that it's on your mind
12:02Yeah, trust is a really big deal to me
12:04In all kinds of relationships
12:05Work, platonic, romantic
12:07How can you function without it?
12:10And I'm not saying that because I'm naive
12:12Or I think I'm some kind of saint
12:13But as someone who was lied to their entire life
12:15So when Kyle lied to me, I had to take a step back
12:18Like I said, I don't want to push you away
12:20But what we talked about, no one else knows
12:24Other than Audra
12:25Well, Audra and I, we're not on the same side
12:27Not anymore
12:28You got the sense that there was history
12:31And you made it clear that it was important for you to know
12:33And I took a risk in telling you that
12:35Because I believed that it was worth it
12:39But that was my past, just like you have yours
12:42And I'm not judging you for your actions
12:43That's not my place
12:45But who I trust is entirely up to me
12:48And it's everything to me after how I grew up
12:50But it's not just about that, is it?
12:53Isn't that enough?
12:54That lying is a really big issue for me
12:57So it's not about us spending time together
12:59Or how close we got
13:01It's not about me opening up to you
13:04And then you backing away
13:06What are you saying?
13:07That I wanted a reason to slow things down?
13:09Well, am I wrong?
13:10How many times did I ask you what happened?
13:15And for months you denied that there was anything
13:17And then you finally told me
13:19But honestly, you and Audra, you made it seem like
13:21There was this massive secret
13:22That wasn't enough for you?
13:25Look at the things I've done
13:26You got a cut of Grand Theft
13:28And were an accessory after the fact
13:30That hardly explains all those secret conversations
13:32And threats about it taking you both down
13:35Ruining lives
13:35Well, it can
13:36But do you think there's more?
13:40You really don't trust me, do you?
13:45Because I don't know you
13:46Not well enough to ignore my own instincts
13:49And I can read people
13:51I can anticipate trouble
13:54And assume the worst
13:55There's more to whatever you did with Audra
13:59And I'm just waiting for you to finally tell me what it is
14:01You know, it's time for you to get a life
14:03And stop digging into mine
14:05Dad's right
14:13About what?
14:15This plan?
14:15I don't disagree
14:16It's the right move
14:17I just wish it wasn't so dangerous
14:19I mean about not worrying
14:20Oh, Kyle, he's worried
14:21What if he isn't?
14:23What if he is as relaxed as he seems?
14:26Mom, Jabot has changed hands
14:28Been sued
14:29Lost business
14:30But the worst thing that has ever happened
14:32Is it tore this family apart
14:34I mean, parents
14:35Or siblings
14:36Or couples
14:37Or in-laws
14:38Fighting each other
14:39None of that is happening right now
14:40We have a plan
14:42We'll do our best
14:43And
14:44Look, if things go sideways
14:46We will rebuild again
14:48As a family
14:50You know, you really are more like your father
14:54And I trust that you and Jack
14:57Will lead Jabot the right direction
14:59We will
15:00But I'm also a lot like you
15:03And you have my word
15:05I will do everything
15:06In my power to connect the dots back to Victor
15:09He will not win
15:10Well, then we know what we need to do
15:12And that doesn't include freaking out
15:14No
15:16That's what I'm talking about
15:18Victor isn't going to get away with this
15:21We're united
15:22As a team
15:23As a family
15:25And he can't tear us apart
15:27In fact
15:28He's already lost
15:30That's what I'm talking about
15:32I'm proud of you
15:34Oh
15:34I'm proud of you
15:36Are details really that important right now?
15:41You came to the ranch uninvited
15:44And accused Victor of having Cain's program
15:46Has something happened since then?
15:49Does it really matter?
15:51Don't you hold out on me too, please?
15:54Are you aware that Arabesque
15:55Cain's rather formidable company
15:57Has been sucked dry
15:59As a mere husk of what it once was?
16:02I assume Victor's responsible
16:04You don't have to confirm or deny
16:07Oh, well, thank you for that
16:09Well, you could unburden yourself if you wanted to
16:12As I remember, you promised
16:16To keep Victor from coming after Jabot
16:18Yes, I did
16:20I was very clear with him about that
16:22Are you admitting that he has the program?
16:28No, I'm not
16:29Your husband is obsessed with me
16:32Why?
16:32Well, no, don't tell me that
16:34It'll only go to my head
16:35You also said you would protect yourself
16:39Do you have things in place?
16:42Maybe
16:43Well, are they or aren't they?
16:47Jack, just tell me
16:49All right
16:50I will let you in on the truth
16:53If you will promise me
16:55You can keep a massive secret
16:57You really had to ask me that
17:06If I could keep a secret?
17:07Is it really that preposterous?
17:09Victor looks you dead in the eye
17:11And asks you
17:11What did Jack tell you?
17:13He would have no reason to ask me that
17:15That is a dodge
17:16And that's fine with me
17:17Can you dodge like that with Victor?
17:20Why don't you just tell me
17:21What is going on?
17:23Okay
17:24It's going to come out in the press anyway
17:25Jabot is shutting down
17:28What do you mean shutting down?
17:30We will cease to manufacture
17:31Market or sell anything
17:34What?
17:36At least that's how it will appear
17:38I don't understand
17:40Jabot will be brought to dust
17:42Hopefully to be put together
17:44At a future date
17:46It is an extreme defensive move
17:48To handle a very dangerous cyber attack
17:52But Jack
17:53If the world thinks you're dead
17:56You are
17:57Almost dead
17:59What if you can't come back from that?
18:01That is a possibility, yes
18:03Well, it's a terrible plan
18:05It may not work
18:06But if the option is letting Victor
18:08Suck the company dry
18:10And steal it out from under us
18:11No, my family will not agree to that
18:13I would be shocked
18:18If somebody tried to use that program against you
18:22You're telling me Victor has it
18:26I am telling you this
18:31Because I want to
18:33Not because I can't keep a secret
18:35But the answer is yes
18:38Victor used it against Cain
18:41And I know you're worried that he's going to come after Jabot
18:44But this plan of yours is so extreme
18:47We are beyond the planning stage
18:49So, it's dying right now
18:52As we speak
18:52We are in suspended animation
18:55I am so sorry you're going through this
19:00Cain should never have created that program
19:03And I hate that Victor has it
19:05I would yank it away from him if I could
19:08Well, now there's a thought
19:11All right, let's get you away from that computer
19:16I'm meeting your father for a drink
19:17Why don't you join us?
19:18Uh, not this time
19:19Thank you
19:20Yeah, Kyle, come on
19:22The shutdown is in motion?
19:24You're going to drive yourself crazy
19:25Watching Jabot flatline
19:26Maybe it's making you a little crazy
19:28Oh, okay
19:29Well, maybe it is
19:31So, I am going to go
19:33Sip something strong
19:35And think about anything else
19:36And hopefully with you on one side
19:38And your father on the other
19:39That sounds miserable
19:40Excuse me?
19:41For you and dad
19:42Your grown son, third wheeling
19:44Oh, come on
19:45We'd love it
19:45I insist
19:46We've all been under a lot of stress
19:48Mother's orders
19:50I remember when
19:52Your orders involved bedtime
19:55And clearing my plate
19:57Now you're demanding
19:58I have a bourbon neat
19:59Well, the ways we parent
20:02Evolve over time
20:04Someday soon
20:06Not too long from now
20:07You might be begging Harrison
20:09To join you for a fine cognac
20:11Instead of dressing up
20:13As the houses
20:13From the three little pigs
20:15And banging on neighbors' doors
20:16For candy?
20:17Uh-uh, never
20:17You can be two old men
20:19Just, uh
20:20With paper bags over your faces
20:21Just going around
20:22Trying to get chocolate
20:23Oh, yeah, call the GCPD
20:24Yeah, or the new bin
20:26Oh, Mom
20:29It's hard watching your son
20:30Grow up, isn't it?
20:32Wow
20:32It's the hardest thing in the world
20:35But lucky for you
20:39I have plans that
20:40Don't involve staring at that screen
20:43I
20:44Meeting Claire
20:47At society
20:47Oh
20:49You should see your face right now
20:54Trying so hard
20:55Not to look over-excited
20:57I appreciate the effort
20:58Oh, come on
20:59Don't be such a know-it-all
21:00I'm sorry
21:01Gosh
21:02Hey
21:03Maybe she's softening
21:05I don't want to read too much into it
21:08But
21:08I want to think that
21:10Spending a little time together
21:11Is a step in the right direction
21:12Have fun
21:20Thanks
21:21I get it, Claire
21:26You grew up as
21:27Auntie's evil sidekick
21:30Groomed to do all her
21:32Dirty work
21:33So you suspect everyone
21:34To be as corrupt as you are
21:36But congrats
21:38You are the biggest criminal in this room
21:40And you think that people care about you
21:42Way more than they do
21:43I was talking to Holden
21:44I was asking him about
21:46His actions
21:47His past
21:48My questions were for him
21:49So
21:49You can go now
21:51It's his
21:52Smile
21:53Isn't it?
21:55The way he looks at you
21:56As if you two share a secret
21:58The way he smiles at you
22:00As if you just said
22:01Something so clever
22:02You know, he'll probably hate me
22:05For telling you this
22:06But that's how he got more tips
22:09From the ladies
22:10When he was tending bar
22:11And we all know, Claire
22:13You have the fattest bank account
22:15All right
22:15That's enough
22:16Get your takeout
22:18And move along
22:18And what did you do for tips, Sandra?
22:20Wouldn't you like to know?
22:22You're miserable
22:22And I'm not
22:23And that eats away at you
22:25That's why
22:27You tried to break up Kyle and me
22:29Tried?
22:31Are you trying to say that it didn't work?
22:33Is Kyle here with you
22:34And I just can't see him?
22:35Hello?
22:36Kyle?
22:38He's not here
22:39And now you want me to get away from Holden too
22:41But guess what?
22:42He still won't want you
22:43Because he actually knows you now
22:45Just like Nate
22:47No life
22:48No work
22:49No romance
22:50It must be
22:51Up!
22:52That would be a bold move
23:11But a necessary one
23:13You think it's possible?
23:16Well, we both want that program out of Victor's hands
23:20So I have some thinking I have to do
23:22Well, let me help
23:24Jack, darling
23:26Hi
23:26I'm so sorry to keep you waiting
23:28Hello, Nikki
23:29Thank you for keeping my husband company
23:31Oh, well, my pleasure, as always
23:33Oh, I've got an update for you
23:36Later
23:37I think you'll enjoy it
23:39Okay, well then I'll leave you to that
23:44Wait, do you have to go?
23:46I really do
23:46I have some things that I have to take care of
23:49I might have an update for you later as well
23:51Nikki
23:53Thank you
23:56Don't thank me yet
23:58Have a lovely evening, Diane
24:01You too, Nikki
24:03What was all that about?
24:10What has Nikki dragged you into this time?
24:15What the hell, Audra?
24:17What is wrong with you?
24:18It was just a test to see if you would fly to her rescue
24:20That wasn't a test
24:21That was you losing your mind in a public place
24:23How will you reward him, Claire?
24:24Now that he's your big, strong hero
24:26Is this what you want, Audra?
24:28For my claws to come out?
24:30Do not touch me again
24:31You don't know what brain thing I might be capable of
24:33Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
24:34This isn't
24:35This isn't happening
24:36It was just a test
24:38To see if you can take a hint
24:39Can you?
24:40She's insane!
24:41Do not come after me again
24:43And I won't have to retaliate
24:44To shut you up for good
24:45What's wrong?
24:51Fuel crack
24:52Get me out of here
24:56Well, madame
25:06How lovely for you to go to the bar
25:09Order my drink
25:10And watch them make it
25:11Instead of telling me
25:12What you and Nikki were talking about
25:13Untrue and unfair
25:15I went to get the drink myself
25:17So that we wouldn't be interrupted
25:18Go on
25:19Nikki admitted it
25:21Victor has Kane's AI program
25:24What?
25:26How did you get that out of her?
25:27It's not the first time you asked
25:29I think she realized
25:30Being coy about Victor's plans
25:32Wasn't going to work anymore
25:33As your dear friend
25:34She should have never been coy
25:35To begin with
25:36But fine
25:37The truth is confirmed
25:38Now what?
25:39She's going to try to get her hands on it
25:41Or at very least
25:43Try to keep Victor
25:44From using it against Chabot
25:45Really?
25:47Does she mean that?
25:49Oh yeah
25:49She means it
25:50If not for our sake
25:51To keep Victor
25:52From crossing the line
25:53Our sake
25:54Meaning your sake
25:55Chabot's sake
25:56Well it's a nice gesture
25:58But I'm not just going to
25:59Hand it over to her
26:00Which is why
26:01I'm glad that Kyle said
26:03The shutdown is successful so far
26:05It's a risky move
26:06But it's better than
26:07Watching Victor destroy everything
26:09There's something else
26:11You should know
26:12What?
26:14I don't like your tone
26:16Should I down this drink
26:17And order another?
26:18I told her
26:19About our plan
26:21Our plan?
26:24Do you mean
26:25What we're doing
26:26For Christmas?
26:27Because so many
26:27I told her about
26:28Chabot's shift
26:29I told her
26:30We're shutting down
26:31Because she told you
26:34Something we already know
26:35You told her something
26:37She never would have guessed
26:38I had reasons
26:39Good reasons
26:40No!
26:41No you didn't
26:42The fact that you consider
26:44Nikki your best friend
26:45In the whole world
26:46While she's married
26:47To your worst enemy
26:48Is just
26:49Perverse
26:51And it might have cost us
26:54Everything
26:55May I speak?
27:04Are you going to use
27:05That condescending tone
27:07The whole time?
27:08Nikki considers herself
27:09The protector of Victor's soul
27:11His better angel
27:12And she does not want him
27:15Coming after Chabot
27:16So what?
27:16So she's going to send him
27:17A sternly worded text
27:19And that'll do the trick?
27:20He does not want
27:21To upset her
27:22Oh come on
27:23When has he ever cared
27:24About that?
27:25Victor does terrible
27:26Vicious
27:26Disgusting things
27:28Aimed against you
27:30And our family
27:31And Nikki has never
27:32Managed to stop him before
27:33Why would this time
27:34Be different?
27:35She's not just
27:35Protecting me
27:36She's protecting Victor
27:37And their marriage
27:38If he goes down this road
27:40Things are going to get
27:41Very dark for everyone
27:42Very quickly
27:43So yes
27:43I think this time
27:44It is different
27:45Well you better be right
27:47Because I'm telling you
27:49If Nikki runs to Victor
27:50And tells him
27:51What we're doing
27:51She won't
27:51Now
27:54You said you had
27:55Some promising news
27:57Was it about Chabot?
27:59No it was about Kyle
28:00About Kyle
28:02Let me think
28:02Kyle is going out
28:06With Claire tonight
28:07How did you know that?
28:11Hey you two
28:12Now you're cheating
28:14Claire?
28:17How are you?
28:18Better soon I hope
28:19Why don't you join us?
28:22Not this time
28:23Thank you
28:24Shall we get to the table?
28:26Yeah
28:26Have a nice rest of your evening
28:28Thanks
28:29Gosh you have said
28:32She had some promising news
28:34She looks like she's ready
28:35To take somebody's head off
28:36Hopefully it's not our son
28:38Why can't you just leave it alone?
28:43Are you kidding me?
28:44You slapped her
28:45She almost crushed my windpipe
28:47She was making a point
28:49That she's a cold blooded killer
28:51How many times have you called her crazy Claire?
28:54Or poison her
28:54Or something like that
28:55She's supposed to just let you attack her?
28:57There's being a bitch
28:58And then there's being homicidal
28:59She's the second
29:01And you still won't see it
29:02What I saw was you getting her face
29:04Throwing around insults
29:05And then assaulting her
29:06And then you freaked out when she fought back
29:08You're choosing to be on the wrong side of this fight
29:10Listen
29:11I'm not going to humor you
29:12When you do something stupid
29:13You're fawning all over Claire
29:15The way everyone else does
29:17And you won't notice when she goes for your throat
29:20Honey
29:23You're about as subtle as a sledgehammer
29:25Kyle said he didn't want to get his hopes up
29:29And I'm glad he didn't
29:30Claire seems to be upset about something
29:33Did they fight?
29:34Well they wouldn't have walked in here together
29:36If that was the case
29:37That's true
29:38And he's being attentive
29:39So maybe the upset is Claire's
29:41It's a shame you can't hide behind a bamboo plant
29:44And listen to them
29:45Oh no
29:46No no
29:47I'm fine
29:47I'll stay right here
29:49I'd like to keep my eye on you too
29:51Given that those Newman women
29:53Get to the both of you so easily
29:55Sounds like maybe I'm ready for another drink
29:58Audrey can't decide if I'm a punching bag
30:03Or a lethal weapon
30:04She attacks me over and over again
30:06Like I'm not going to fight back
30:07And then when I do react
30:08She plays the victim
30:09Usually for the benefit of some man
30:11This time it was Holden
30:13You was there when this went down?
30:15That's how brazen she is
30:16Attacking me in front of an entire restaurant
30:18Like I'm just going to take it
30:20Yeah but you didn't
30:21No
30:21I made my point
30:23She can't mess with me
30:25Audrey has a tough time taking a hint
30:28What were you even arguing about?
30:31Audrey doesn't need a reason
30:32To make a fight with me
30:34Just seeing my face
30:36A lot has gone wrong for everybody
30:38Since Audrey came to town
30:40It's too bad you and I can't work together
30:41To show her the door
30:42Why can't we?
30:46What do you mean?
30:47I mean let's team up to put her in her place
30:50And I know how to do it
30:53You provoked her
30:55Audrey
30:56That's the only reason Claire went after you
30:58Oh if she could never go after you
30:59I wouldn't give her a reason to
31:01Oh no of course not
31:03You always smile
31:04Pull out a chair
31:05Make sure she knows how much you care
31:06And when she knifes you in your sleep
31:09Yeah okay that's definitely the next move
31:12Oh no you're right
31:13She wouldn't wait until your eyes were closed
31:15She's a Newman
31:16She could just try to kill someone
31:18And people would just shrug
31:19Well if you think like that
31:21Then why don't you stay out of her way
31:23She should stay out of mine
31:24You're the one with the past
31:26That you don't want anyone to know about
31:28And you just gave her a reason to dig deeper
31:30She strangled me Holden
31:33Fine Audra
31:34She put her hands around my neck
31:36That is an act of aggression
31:38You know little Claire wants a war
31:42Well she just got one
31:44Hmm
31:51What's wrong?
31:53Has something happened?
31:54No things are proceeding as planned
31:56Oh has this sentence ever sounded so ominous?
32:00No it never did
32:02You're scared too?
32:05I would be a fool otherwise
32:06Yeah Kyle was saying how calm you seemed
32:09And I told him it was just a front
32:11Oh yes and no I am calm
32:13I am confident in our success
32:16Because you think Nicky will save the day?
32:18Because I think we are on the right side of things
32:21Well if only life were that simple
32:24Good trumps evil
32:25But it isn't
32:27Or Victor wouldn't be where he is
32:29For now
32:30Do you really think that Nicky is our ace in the hole?
32:33If Nicky manages to get her hands on this program
32:36Jabot's transfer is already in play
32:39Which means
32:41There's no turning back
32:43Which means
32:44Our plan to pull the rug from under Victor
32:46Is underway
32:47We are one big step ahead of him
32:50I hope you're right
32:51To our success
32:54Yeah
32:55How about to theirs?
33:04Well they look like they're in agreement
33:06Right?
33:07Yeah but there seems to be a little distance between them
33:11Do you see it?
33:12Well they don't maybe seem as warm as they once did
33:15No
33:15It's as if they're not reconciling
33:18But conspiring
33:20You need to take a beat Audra
33:24Why should I?
33:25Because you spin out
33:26And screw up
33:27That's how we're both in this position right now
33:29You know I have had it
33:31With you playing hero to your psycho little girlfriend
33:33You do realize that if she comes after me
33:35You're in the line of fire
33:36Oh and who put me there?
33:39Oh so it's all my fault
33:40You didn't open your big mouth huh?
33:42None of this is your fault
33:43Why can't you just stay out of her way?
33:45That simple
33:45Are there bruises on my neck?
33:50Cause she sure as hell squeezed hard enough
33:52You think I'm gonna let her touch me again?
33:55It's been a little snarkier
33:56A couple of insults there
33:57But Claire is going down now Holden
33:59You know I can do it
34:01So don't even try to stand in my way
34:03Audra doesn't have a job
34:08Or any friends to speak of
34:10Other than Sally
34:11Nate has turned his back on her
34:14What do you go after
34:16When someone has nothing?
34:17She has a history
34:18You know something
34:21From Los Angeles I tried
34:23But didn't get very far
34:24How bad is it?
34:27That's criminal of course
34:28Audra's amoral
34:29But I'm sure there's more to it
34:32And I'm gonna bury her with it
34:36Okay
34:38What?
34:39No hey I support your plan
34:41But not the action
34:43Cause didn't you just say
34:44That you wish that we could team up?
34:45Maybe
34:47I should do what Nate's doing
34:49And you keep your distance
34:51Oh
34:52Audra thinks if she can push me around
34:54Not happening
34:56She needs to know that
34:58I'm the one who's shutting her down
35:00Maybe I need to know it
35:04But
35:04If this
35:07Doesn't work for you
35:09Oh
35:09I am
35:10In
35:11100%
35:14If you even
35:16Need a partner
35:16I do
35:18And we're doing this
35:22Next week
35:35On The Young and the Restless
35:37Until Mitch is dead
35:38Or he's behind bars
35:39Nobody is safe
35:40Especially me
35:42You need to come to Genoa City with us
35:44It'll be safe there
35:45I'll make sure of it
35:46I am taking one for the team
35:47And going to the Abbott Communications launch party
35:50Why not be so bad?
35:52It'll be tedious and boring
35:53Not if we go together
35:55No
35:56I'll make sure of it
36:11I don't know
36:12I'm
36:12I'm
36:13I'm
36:14I'm
36:15I'm
36:15I'm
36:15I'm
36:16I'm
36:17I'm
36:17I'm
36:17Join us again for the young and the restless.
