00:00What is this whole party thing?
00:06I never said anything about retiring.
00:09You had your final show, and that's what you called it, over a year ago.
00:12Yeah, but you...
00:13You never listened to a word I said.
00:15Everything you say.
00:17Now you gotta listen to us. This is good.
00:19You've taken it upon yourself to retire me, is that it?
00:22I've taken it upon myself because you've earned it.
00:24I don't accept it.
00:27I need to talk to Dad for a moment.
00:30You see that?
00:42You see that look?
00:43That's pity.
00:44I don't need that in my life. I don't want that.
00:48You can't do this, Ridge.
00:50I will not be put out to pasture.
01:00That didn't go over well.
01:08To say the least.
01:09You see how upset Eric was?
01:13Oui.
01:15I mean, I get that Ridge thinks he's doing what's best for his father, but pushing Eric to retire...
01:23It's just not his place.
01:29I'm sorry.
01:30It's the surprise I had to jump in and call this patient.
01:34Be glad you did.
01:35I take it and go as planned.
01:41My grandfather is devastated, Finn.
01:43What happened?
01:45He thinks we're trying to take the power away, that he's losing control, and he's leaving him no choice.
01:50It's not exactly true.
01:52Well, he isn't exactly wrong, either.
01:55Wait, so where is he now?
01:57My dad told Daphne Carter and me to leave so they could speak privately.
02:01Just the whole thing is just so terrible.
02:05Oh, my God.
02:08These are my grandfather's designs.
02:12Wait, well, how do you know there is?
02:14Because nobody does couture like my grandfather.
02:18Well, yeah, they're pretty amazing, huh?
02:26They're stunning.
02:29No wonder my grandfather doesn't want to retire.
02:34For you to put me on the spot like this...
02:36You should have discussed it first with Eric, at the very least.
02:39Yeah, I...
02:40You're giving me a heads up.
02:41I have no plans to retire.
02:44Don't you see that?
02:46That's what we're trying to help you.
02:48Trying to show you how much you appreciate.
02:52You're trying to thank me.
02:54Is that what you're trying to do?
02:55Is that this is...
02:57This is what's best for me?
03:00You wanted to thank me?
03:02Eric, it's not that.
03:04No, no, no.
03:04This...
03:05This was not the way, okay?
03:09You can't just bring something like this on Eric.
03:12My God, Brooke.
03:14We were just talking about this.
03:16And I told you how invigorated he is and...
03:19How he wants to do the next line.
03:21Were you even listening to anything that I said?
03:24We all want the best future for Eric.
03:29This was all done in good faith, Eric.
03:31You have to realize that.
03:32So...
03:33Forcing me into retirement and...
03:36Finishing all the decades that I fit into this business...
03:40That's what's best for me.
03:44Yes, it is.
03:45Eric's been busy.
03:59Truly.
04:00This is almost an entire collection right here.
04:03It's completely flawless.
04:06Quintessential Eric Forrester.
04:09Elegance and sophistication.
04:10How do you manage all this?
04:13This is my grandfather we're talking about.
04:14No, I know.
04:15But you said that he hadn't been coming into the office much lately.
04:18And hence why you thought he was wrapping up his career.
04:20I don't know.
04:21Maybe he was working like a maniac at home.
04:24So you didn't know anything about this?
04:26This collection?
04:27No, I had no idea.
04:29It's probably why he wanted to speak to Dad.
04:31Steffi, the way that these are laid out and organized...
04:36Do you think that this was supposed to be a presentation for Ridge?
04:42Oh my God, you're probably right.
04:44He probably wanted to surprise my dad.
04:47Only Grandad got the big surprise.
04:50Could this have changed things?
04:53Would Ridge have asked Eric to retire if he'd seen these first?
04:56That's a good question.
04:59I'm wondering the same thing.
05:00You've been totally devoted, Eric.
05:03We're just worried you're going to get worn out.
05:08It's not like you're going to not be in this building anymore.
05:10You're going to come.
05:11We're going to consult on things.
05:12We're going to have lunch.
05:13Don't stop.
05:14I don't have lunch.
05:15I want to design.
05:16Okay.
05:17Well, keep you active.
05:18What makes you think we're not going to do that?
05:19Active is not sitting on a park bench someplace, feeding pigeons.
05:22Come on, listen to me.
05:23This is not...
05:24Listen to me.
05:24I founded this company with my blood.
05:28This is mine.
05:30Yes.
05:30Eric, you've been amazing.
05:32Nobody's discrediting what you've built.
05:36You presented your final line?
05:39It was a mistake to call it that.
05:41How's that a mistake?
05:42Obviously still wants...
05:43What's his crowning glory?
05:45I want to do it again.
05:46Oh, you want to do it again?
05:47You want to do it again?
05:48Who's going to pay the price?
05:49Look, we don't want you to get stressed out.
05:54Okay.
05:54We are hearing that you care.
05:57But you're not hearing how much he needs this.
06:01Come on, Ridge.
06:03Brooke.
06:05He still has more to give.
06:07He still has more to contribute.
06:09What are you doing?
06:09We're doing this for him.
06:11We're doing this for you.
06:13Right for you.
06:15For me.
06:20You asked me to run this company.
06:22You asked me that.
06:26So what?
06:26Now I'm not ready?
06:28I am ready.
06:29I am.
06:31If we're lucky, we'll all get to grow older.
06:47And if we're really lucky, we'll have our lives set up so we can retire in peace someday.
06:54Yeah, sitting in rocking chairs, holding hands, traveling wherever we want.
06:59Yeah, see, that's exactly what I'm talking about.
07:02Well, Eric's next chapter in life sounds pretty great to me.
07:05Yeah.
07:06Dad just doesn't want him stressing out anymore.
07:09Well, same here.
07:10Like, Eric is doing well now, but, you know, why risk any setbacks?
07:16Exactly.
07:18And Dad was coming from a loving, concerned place.
07:22But seeing this?
07:24Granddad's collection?
07:27If Dad saw it, maybe he would change his mind about Granddad's retirement.
07:30Is that in Eric's best interest, though?
07:33Look, right now he's frustrated, delusioned, and it's things like hell, but Steffi, as a doctor who literally brought Eric back to life, I still think stepping down is a wise decision.
07:44You're ready?
07:50I'm ready.
07:51And so are you.
07:54And it's time for a new generation, and before you say anything, that generation is barely me anymore.
08:00It's Steffi, it's Thomas, Zende, RJ, a whole family that wants to follow in your footsteps.
08:07Take some pride in that.
08:10Their success is your success.
08:13Their showstopper is your showstopper.
08:16It's just...
08:17You need to look at it that way.
08:20Do I?
08:20You think I want to push you away?
08:22I think I want you out?
08:23I don't need you?
08:25I need you.
08:26We all need you more than ever.
08:29Well, you know what I see when you start doing this?
08:32I see you in the hospital bed.
08:34I can't do that again.
08:36You can't do that again.
08:39Is that what you want?
08:39You want to sit next to this hospital bed and then wait for some miracle?
08:46See that you can have one more day with him?
08:49Take the day now.
08:50Take it.
08:51Take whatever day you want.
08:56Just go and take a boat to the Greek islands, wherever you want to go.
09:04That sounds pretty wonderful.
09:07I could do that, but I'd be back in a week, Rich.
09:11I would be back in a...
09:12You'd be back?
09:12Why?
09:13No, no!
09:14You've built this company.
09:16It almost runs itself.
09:17You've climbed a mountain.
09:18Now, take some time.
09:20Sit on it.
09:22Enjoy your life.
09:24You really want me to retire that badly?
09:28Why do you do that?
09:31No, I don't...
09:32No, I just...
09:33No.
09:34I just want...
09:35I just want you to be here.
09:37But yeah, sure.
09:40Why not now?
09:42Why not retire now?
09:43You did your final line.
09:44It was an amazing success.
09:46The crowd cheering your name.
09:49Isn't that what you wanted?
09:50What you always wanted?
09:51The young kid from Los Angeles?
09:53Make a dent in the fashion world?
09:55You did it.
09:57You did it.
09:57You can't talk about Armani or Valentino or Boss without talking about you.
10:04That's extraordinary.
10:05So I don't want to see you walking on a precipice for one more life.
10:16You've done it.
10:17You did the life.
10:19It was great.
10:20And you want to be mad at me?
10:24You don't get to be mad at me for this.
10:26You could only be mad at me if I didn't do this.
10:30I don't want to put you in jeopardy again.
10:32I love you too much.
10:43Alright.
10:48Alright.
10:52We'll do it your way.
10:53I love you too.
11:23I love you too.
11:53I wish that went better.
12:06My dad thinks I'm being selfish.
12:14Your father knows exactly how much you love him.
12:23I can't believe this.
12:28I mean, it took a lot of nerve to pull a stunt like this.
12:32This is a surprise retirement party.
12:35You know?
12:36My son doesn't even want to work with me.
12:38He doesn't want to see me anymore because I've slowed down a little bit.
12:42I've gotten old.
12:43But I'm pretty good for an old man like myself.
12:47Pretty good.
12:48Very good.
12:48Yeah.
12:49This is my place.
12:50This is my value.
12:54This is my purpose here.
12:56And this company, I have a lot to offer this company.
13:01My company.
13:02Yes.
13:03Yes, of course you do.
13:05Of course.
13:05Look at this.
13:06Look at this.
13:06They want to throw me out.
13:08Throw me out on the curb like some old piece of furniture is an old pair of shoes.
13:12I mean, look at these drawings.
13:13Look at these designs.
13:14These are as good as anything else in the world.
13:19They're better.
13:21They belong.
13:22They belong on red carpets anywhere in the world.
13:26Paris.
13:27Paris Fashion Week or the Met Gala.
13:30These things.
13:30I can't even.
13:31I can't believe I'm saying this, but I think I'm really starting to come into my own.
13:35Now.
13:35Only now.
13:37And these drawings prove it.
13:39Eric.
13:40This is some of your best work.
13:42Yeah.
13:43It is.
13:43It is.
13:44Why don't you show them?
13:47Stand up and tell them.
13:48No, no, no, no, no.
13:49Tell them what you've done.
13:50No.
13:51I don't want them to see.
13:54I don't want them to see these.
13:56I want these to stay private.
13:59Nobody gets to see these.
14:00These are mine.
14:02They're getting me out the front door.
14:04And I'm going to take these with me.
14:08Because these are mine.
14:10I can't believe this is happening.
14:11Frank.
14:14Okay.
14:16Okay.
14:16You know what?
14:17I'm going to go talk to Brooke because I cannot stand seeing you so upset.
14:22No, no, no.
14:22No, no.
14:22Don't say anything to her.
14:26Don't say anything to anyone.
14:27Don't.
14:28Don't.
14:31I mean.
14:31Maybe it was just right.
14:34Maybe.
14:35Maybe.
14:35Maybe I'm finished.
14:36Maybe I am irrelevant.
14:40Frank.
14:41No.
14:41Why?
14:42Stop.
14:42Why doesn't he want to work with me?
14:47I'm still viable.
14:48My brain is still working.
14:49My eyes.
14:52My hands.
14:55I can't turn it off.
14:56My brain goes crazy all night long.
14:59I can't go to sleep.
15:00I can't turn it off.
15:02And they throw me a retirement party?
15:03They want to retire me, Donna.
15:11What am I going to do?
15:12What am I going to do?
15:42I'm sorry.
15:45Don't do that.
15:49Don't do that.
15:51You're hearing that from everybody else tonight.
15:54I don't want to hear it from you.
15:55You're the last person I want to hear that from.
16:03I'm sorry.
16:07I don't mean to put all this on you.
16:10I'm sorry.
16:12It's okay.
16:17It's okay.
16:18It's been a really rough day.
16:26I'm going to need a minute.
16:27I'm sorry.
16:31Okay.
16:32I'll just, uh...
16:34I'm just going to wait in the car.
16:36Okay.
16:46Okay.
16:47Okay.
