02:01when i have no other choice
02:08so
02:17so
02:49I, uh, I heard you were injured. A car accident. It sounds awful.
02:59Yeah, it's rough there for a minute, but, uh, I'm on one piece.
03:05I'm glad.
03:06Thanks.
03:07Yeah, he's doing great. You know, he's got a lot of people looking after him. He's home. Catching up with family and friends.
03:14That is wonderful. For all of you.
03:19You've got a lot of ground to cover. You should get after it.
03:22How have you been doing?
03:24Well, this'll calm my nerves.
03:36You don't seem like someone who gets nervous about anything.
03:42So, um, I have a question for you. You ever get used to Victor Newman looking at you like he can look right into the depths of your soul?
03:54It can be unnerving, yes. But if you have nothing to hide...
04:03Doesn't everybody?
04:03Sienna, I'm not going to tear into you about getting involved with Noah. If you're worried about that...
04:15Look, it wasn't planned.
04:16I'm sure it wasn't. But no matter who you thought you were married to, underneath the new name, the career, it was Matt Clark. And he is a monster.
04:32Now, I believe you when you say you had no idea.
04:36Yeah, none. Look, I knew he was unpredictable. I knew that he had his secrets. And there were times when it was just easier to just not engage.
04:47There is no stability with a person like Matt. I'm sure you learned that early on and did the best you could to mitigate his behavior.
05:00Like, I'm tough. You know, you deal with it, you suck it up, and you just roll with it.
05:08Until you can't anymore and you need someone to lean on.
05:13Look, that's not why Noah...
05:16I wasn't using him.
05:22That's good to hear.
05:25But everything is out in the open now, Sienna, so I think it's time that we discuss, honestly, without pretense, any real future you might have with Noah.
05:43So, are you guys done for the day, or are you heading back to the office?
05:52Uh, Devon's gonna go have fun. I have more work to do tonight.
05:57Nobody's forcing you to do anything tonight.
06:00What am I missing?
06:01Just a sibling disagreement.
06:06Okay, great. I'll, uh, I'll let you get back through it.
06:09Actually, that's all right. I'm gonna take off.
06:12Uh, Abby got us all red sweaters for tonight.
06:16Well, I have a red sweater.
06:18There's still no room for you.
06:20What are the, what are the red sweaters for?
06:22It's for Dominic's recital rehearsal.
06:24Oh, that's cool.
06:27What, what was the, what was the kid's show called?
06:31Shimmer and Glimmer?
06:33No.
06:34It was Sparkle and Snow.
06:36That's right. Sparkle and Snow.
06:38There's so much glitter all over the house.
06:41And it's really cute.
06:43Oh, it was a mess.
06:44No, I'm talking about you actually remembering being in your kid's lives.
06:48It's good for you.
06:50Keep taking those omega-3 vitamins.
06:51Okay.
06:58Well, now that you're on your own, can I join you?
07:02Are you serious right now?
07:04What do you mean?
07:05The last time we saw each other.
07:08Nah, I still don't get it.
07:10Okay, what about any of that makes you think that we're friends now?
07:17Me?
07:17Oh, I'm doing fabulous, of course.
07:23How long are you in town for?
07:27We'll see about that.
07:29We're certainly glad to have him home, and I know he's going to keep me busy.
07:32Of course.
07:34Well, it's really nice to see you.
07:37Maybe we'll run into each other again.
07:40Maybe so.
07:41You all right?
07:51Yeah.
07:52Yeah, of course.
07:54It's been a minute since you were face-to-face with Audra.
07:58You're in relationships.
08:00Not the best track record to go home.
08:02You tell me.
08:03Noah is a kind and decent person.
08:12He is smart, creative, generous.
08:17He has watched and learned from his father how to be loving and supportive.
08:24But that also means he has a tendency to feel he needs to rescue people.
08:30Okay, well, I don't need anyone to rescue me.
08:32I've done that for myself for as long as I can remember.
08:36Every single time?
08:38No help from anyone else?
08:41Well, trapped in that room in L.A.?
08:45Yeah.
08:45But that's because Mitch was trying to punish me.
08:48Not only you.
08:49Listen, if I could have kept Noah out of danger, I would have.
08:55You need protection from Matt.
08:57That is clear.
09:00And Noah is not going to back away from that.
09:02That's why he insisted that you come to Genoa City with us.
09:05Yeah, that's why I agreed.
09:07I wanted him to stop fighting about it.
09:10You know, he's still recovering from his accident.
09:12He doesn't want to admit it.
09:14He is so stubborn.
09:15Victor and Nick have a plan to make sure that Matt never hurts anyone ever again.
09:26Yeah, you think it's going to work?
09:28They won't stop until it does.
09:31Okay, I know that they are powerful men with resources, but Mitch, he plays by his own rules.
09:42Yes, he does.
09:45He is evil.
09:47Without giving any details, there's no way of knowing for sure when exactly the threat will be removed.
09:57But as long as Matt is in the picture, he will come after you.
10:02Yeah, which means he's going to come after Noah.
10:04We have protection, people on alert, guards, security.
10:09Yeah, but Noah was able to leave and get out of the hospital to find you to make sure you were safe.
10:18Look, Matt won't give up.
10:23He will come after you again.
10:26He is relentless.
10:27He is vicious.
10:29There's no way of knowing if he will move at lightning speed or he will take years to get his revenge.
10:35And you really think that he waited all those years just so he could go after a new man?
10:40My gut instinct tells me that Matt always intended on trying to harm this family.
10:49Whether he sought out Noah or that was by chance, I do not know.
10:55I hate to think that he zeroed in on my son.
10:57Noah was making a life for himself in London.
11:01He had a business, a girlfriend.
11:05You know that Noah wasn't happy with Allie anymore.
11:13Noah told you that?
11:15Yeah, he said anything that was left was loyalty, responsibility.
11:21And I think she must have felt the same way because she did not fly out to L.A. when he was in his accident.
11:28She's not here now.
11:30You and I are.
11:31I'm not judging any of you.
11:33Are you sure about that?
11:35Sienna, look, it's just like you said.
11:39You're tough.
11:41And I know where that comes from.
11:44It takes years to build that kind of resilience.
11:48You fight a lot of battles and you lose as much as you win.
11:53Well, that sounds about right.
11:56Would you really wish that life on someone else?
11:59Do you mean, do I want that for Noah?
12:01Noah, it was a risk to get involved with him.
12:05And this is the worst possible scenario.
12:10You think that I seduced him and put him in this position?
12:15Are you in love with Noah?
12:16It's another thing that I didn't plan.
12:24Then your answer is yes.
12:27I guess so.
12:28Well, then let me be honest with you.
12:34The idea of a woman like you being in love with my son bothers me a great deal.
12:43Son, one of my biggest regrets is that you didn't grow up with a lot of stable relationships from the adults in your life.
12:55I mean, your mother and I, we broke up several times.
12:58It was me and Phyllis.
12:59Even your grandparents went through it, although they seem to have figured it all out.
13:03Dad, we don't have to go over all that.
13:05What I'm trying to say is if things with you and Allie aren't fair, will you at least tell me how you really feel about Sienna?
13:15Because you can't tell?
13:16No, I can't, because I don't think I'm getting the full story.
13:20Sienna claims that she didn't know this man she was with was a violent criminal with this horrible past and that everybody thought he was dead.
13:26You think she would have married him if she had known?
13:28Like no big deal to her if she got involved with a predator?
13:31No, look, the fact that you can even say that means you have no clue who Sienna is at all.
13:35She's got an edge to her.
13:37She's clearly put up some walls.
13:39It doesn't give me a great feeling seeing the two of you together.
13:42Does any of that matter right now?
13:44Yes, son, it does.
13:45Why?
13:46Why does any of it matter?
13:48Matt Clark tried to kill me, then he threatened to kill Sienna.
13:50That's what we're dealing with right now.
13:52Not anyone's intentions or what was wrong with Allie.
13:57Okay.
13:57Matt, you know what I thought of right when I woke up in the hospital bed and you finally admitted to me that it wasn't just an accident?
14:05Thank God it was me and not Sienna.
14:09Sorry, I can't see it that way.
14:11Well, right now, all I can think about is keeping her safe.
14:14And I'll ever make it up to Mom for bringing the guy into our lives.
14:17That is not your fault, okay?
14:19Matt is after you because of your parents.
14:21Now, maybe Matt pushed you to his wife.
14:23I instigated the affair with Sienna.
14:26She's in danger because of me.
14:28She's a grown woman, all right?
14:30She made her own choice.
14:31She certainly knew there would be a risk there.
14:33Oh, stop, okay?
14:34Who did what is in the past?
14:36All right, and what will happen with me and Sienna is the future.
14:38But right now is what we're dealing with.
14:40Because that guy is a psychopath, and he's after all of us, and I am not going to let him hurt her, Dad.
14:50Nothing you say will make me back off.
14:53You just need to trust that your grandfather and I have a plan in place.
14:57We're going to keep everyone safe.
14:59I promise you, Matt Clark will not win.
15:02Noah is so much like his father.
15:08He takes that leap of faith.
15:11He gives his whole heart.
15:13And I can see the way that he looks at you.
15:16He's very protective.
15:18I don't need him to report to me on how he feels about it.
15:22I can already see he's in over his head.
15:25Wow.
15:27Your family.
15:28Very different.
15:29You know, that someone just tried to kill your son, and you're worried about his love life.
15:35I'm worried about his safety and his well-being, and yes, his heart.
15:41And if you don't understand why a parent would do that, then I feel sad for you.
15:45You've never seen this kind of love before?
15:47Okay, you don't know anything about me.
15:50And that is exactly what worries me.
15:53This attachment is not safe for Noah.
15:56I think that's clear.
15:57Your husband is a dangerous man.
16:00Okay, I don't know what you want me to say.
16:04But when Nick told me about Noah's accident, it took everything inside of me not to race over to the hospital.
16:12And when I found out that Mitch was accused of hurting him,
16:16it was like I already knew.
16:21And it was my fault.
16:24No, you're wrong about that.
16:27There's no doubt in my mind that Matt zeroed in on Noah.
16:33Was he always planning on trying to kill him?
16:36I don't know.
16:37Maybe he was, or maybe that became an option after he knew about your affair.
16:42But what I do know is he always planned to hurt this family again.
16:47That goes years back.
16:48And you think that Mitch is going to come after me.
16:52And Noah will stand in his way.
16:54And when that happens, Matt will make sure that Noah doesn't walk away again.
17:01Yeah, but come on.
17:03We can't be sure that that is going to happen.
17:06You think I'm wrong?
17:08You want to take that risk?
17:09You jumped.
17:14I just, I got startled.
17:15It was...
17:16And your first thought was,
17:18he's here.
17:20He found me.
17:22Because you know that it's not over.
17:27Hey, Sharon, it's me, Claire.
17:29Coming!
17:30Hey, Claire, come on in.
17:38Thanks.
17:38I'm sorry to just stop by like this, but, uh, I was actually hoping to talk to Sienna, if that's okay.
17:43Oh, yeah.
17:44Sienna, why don't we talk about this later?
17:47I'll give you girls some privacy.
17:48Thanks, Sharon.
17:51Hey.
17:52Um, there's, uh, some more tea, I think.
17:54I don't want to take up too much of your time.
17:56You must be exhausted.
17:59Okay.
17:59Well, I don't see any reason for small talk.
18:02You want to know about Holden, right?
18:05And about Audra Charles.
18:06Okay.
18:24Where's your attack, Poodle?
18:27Claire Bear.
18:28Ripping out someone's throat?
18:30What are you even doing here?
18:34Hmm.
18:34Well, I guess you don't mind looking desperate since the Abbott Communications launch is being held downstairs.
18:41Oh, are they?
18:42Who knew?
18:43You really want everyone to walk right by you on the way to a party you can't go to?
18:47And how would they know that?
18:49Unless you announce it to everyone who walks in this place?
18:53But you would do that, wouldn't you?
18:55Because you're just that classy.
18:57Anything to watch me suffer.
19:02Friends?
19:03I wouldn't, I wouldn't presume to call us friends.
19:05That seems kind of pushy.
19:07Oh, great.
19:07You're going to sit down anyway.
19:09Yeah, my neck was starting to get sore looking down when I was talking to you.
19:13So I figured we could see eye to eye.
19:16Almost.
19:19So is Phyllis going to follow you in here?
19:21Should I give her my chair?
19:22What, you don't want to go around too with her?
19:24No, I'll leave that to you.
19:27She bothers you, huh?
19:29I think she bothers anyone who doesn't enjoy adult tantrums.
19:34You know, for a second when I walked in on you to argue and I thought that you might actually take a swing at her.
19:38Oh, yeah, right.
19:40I'll let her drag other people down to her level.
19:43Me?
19:44I feel like you're talking about me.
19:46Well, you know, if the gutter fits.
19:49Ouch.
19:49Can I get you something from the counter?
19:54I think your absence is plenty.
19:56No, you're being kind of mean today.
19:58Kind of mean?
19:59I can be meaner.
20:00Why was Devon wishing you luck?
20:06Because I am taking one for the team and going to the Abbott Communications launch party.
20:11Why not be so bad?
20:13It'll be tedious and boring.
20:17Not if we go together.
20:18I don't even want to sit at this table with you.
20:26Why would I go to a party with you?
20:28Because I'm charming, well-dressed, got a new haircut.
20:33Were you invited?
20:35If I said yes, would you let me escort you?
20:38Were you invited, Kane?
20:40No, but I could be your plus one.
20:42My ego could handle that.
20:44Why don't you just crash it?
20:45You own the venue.
20:46No, that would be rude.
20:47Oh, but going with me isn't?
20:50Why do you even want to go?
20:52To wish Billy well?
20:54Make up for ruining his last attempt at a launch?
20:56Oh, right, because you and Billy are so chummy now.
20:59Family doesn't have to be pals, are we?
21:01You're not family.
21:02If you were family, you wouldn't need me to get you in.
21:04Okay, well, just because I feel like we're family doesn't mean Billy does.
21:07He doesn't even want you there.
21:09And you didn't want me at the table, but here I am.
21:11Oh, so what, you're just gonna wear him down by not taking a hint?
21:15What?
21:16Doesn't work?
21:17Look, I want Abby Communications to be a huge success.
21:21Okay, I want them to pound human media into mulch.
21:24Yeah, that's because you can't steal either of them.
21:26That stinks.
21:27Because you have no power.
21:29Sure.
21:30And because you keep reminding me of what a jerk I was.
21:33Oh, but what, you're kind and decent now?
21:36How about less of a jerk?
21:38It'd be great if you thought of me that way.
21:40And it'd be a bonus if Billy did too.
21:41Well, even when you two got along, you two tortured each other.
21:46Maybe that changes tonight.
21:49Kane, everyone knows that your star has fallen.
21:52Okay, so this little game of humility, it's as fake as your phony French name.
21:57And tying yourself to someone like Phyllis doesn't help your case.
22:03Okay, well then, no problem, because I have zero ties to Phyllis in any way, shape, or form.
22:09What is with you acting like I'm the enemy?
22:16Okay, if this is how you treat a friend...
22:18We have history.
22:20Which you throw in my face every time I see you.
22:22That doesn't mean that I want to see you suffer.
22:25Oh, is that why you just stood there and let Claire crush my windpipe?
22:29Crush your windpipe?
22:30Yes.
22:31Hmm.
22:32Can you still breathe in?
22:34No.
22:35Don't make things harder on yourself than they have to be.
22:37Oh, yes, it's all my fault.
22:40A lot of it is, Audra.
22:42That is a fact.
22:44No, I'm not your enemy.
22:46But if you keep treating me like one...
22:48And what?
22:50And what, Holden?
22:53I'm pulling for you to succeed.
22:56Oh, that is so sweet.
22:59Or maybe you know what I'm capable of when I have nothing to lose.
23:03This is not your rock bottom.
23:05Not yet.
23:06So, cut your losses.
23:10By leaving town?
23:11Honestly, yeah, but you won't.
23:13So, at least stop looking for a fight with Claire.
23:16Oh, my God.
23:17You're blind when it comes to that woman.
23:19Just go upstairs and save yourself some humiliation for tonight.
23:23I was invited.
23:25Begged to come, actually.
23:27I'm not attending the launch tonight because this night belongs to my best friend and she deserves all of the attention.
23:36Go drink in your room.
23:37For your own sake, please.
23:39Okay, I know you are not trying to tell me what to do because that would be the quickest way to piss me off.
23:44Okay, Audra, you win.
23:46All right?
23:46No pity.
23:47No history.
23:47No helping you out.
23:48Good?
23:49Thanks.
23:49It's such a relief.
23:51But you might want to ask yourself, why do you hate Claire Newman so much?
23:54I know you have other things on your mind right now.
24:00Yeah, but you got questions that you want answers to, if you don't mind.
24:04Yeah, no.
24:04Come on.
24:05Have a seat.
24:06So, Audra Charles, or Audra Cortez, she was back then, stole a wallet from some creep at your club one night.
24:14Mm-hmm.
24:15And there was a check inside.
24:17She managed to cash it somehow, and then she gave Holden a cut to buy his silence.
24:25Yeah, sounds about right.
24:27But that's not the whole story.
24:29It's not?
24:30I'm sure that it's not, and I think you know that I'm right.
24:35Why would you say that?
24:36The way that you and Holden were when we came into the shadow room, and the comment that you made about Audra.
24:41Yeah, well, I'm not a fan.
24:43She's trouble.
24:45So is your husband, apparently.
24:48Okay, I thought you wanted me help.
24:49I'm just saying that it seems like there's more to it all than she ripped off some jerk.
24:58Okay.
24:59There was a crime in my club, and it's a real good way to lose customers.
25:04But whatever else happened was way worse.
25:09So, please, Sienna, tell me what really happened.
25:13Oh, so no more Phyllis?
25:21Mm-mm.
25:22Not for me.
25:24So no more deals, or drinks, or sleepovers?
25:28Which one of those bothered you the most?
25:32None of the above?
25:33So no more Phyllis today?
25:35Or tomorrow.
25:37Or ever.
25:38You two had a fight?
25:38An inevitable parting of ways.
25:42But no hard feelings?
25:44She stole the software.
25:47You already suspected that.
25:49Well, I got confirmation.
25:51So she admitted it?
25:52And actually tell the truth about something?
25:54Never.
25:56Oh, I see.
25:59You see what?
26:00So it's not what she did, it's the fact that she wasn't honest with you about it.
26:05Oh, nice.
26:07Isn't that funny?
26:08How without trust, you have nothing?
26:10It's so weird.
26:11Take me to the party with you.
26:13Why would I do that?
26:14I don't know.
26:16Forget the noise for a couple of hours.
26:18Don't you have someone else you can go with?
26:20Lily, I want to go with you.
26:23And I want you to be glad I did.
26:28This is a long time ago, Claire.
26:30Before you knew Audra and Holden.
26:32Why do you care?
26:32You know that feeling when you think you know everything and then you realize that you know
26:41almost nothing?
26:42That anxious feeling.
26:44What else do I have no clue about?
26:46And then on top of that, the resentment of being lied to.
26:49And on top of that, the shame for having believed all the lies.
26:55Yeah, I can relate to that.
26:58That's why I'm here.
27:00Okay, you know, sometimes it is just better to stay in the dark.
27:04Don't go looking for trouble.
27:06I've had my share of trouble.
27:08The kind I make and the kind that finds me.
27:10Oh, you do not strike me as a troublemaker.
27:12Oh, well, aren't they the most dangerous kind?
27:14Oh, you are growing on me.
27:18I do not like surprises.
27:20And Audra Cortez has caused a few too many of those in my life lately.
27:26So, I just want to know everything that I can.
27:32All right.
27:33Well, you know that your ex, Kyle Abbott, came to the club.
27:39You mentioned it.
27:39Yeah, and Audra's name did come into the mix, but he was really, he was concerned about you.
27:45Kyle's not part of this.
27:46Okay, well, Holden is.
27:48What's going on there?
27:50Just friends.
27:51No, you might be friends.
27:55You're not just friends.
27:57I need to know what Audra did.
27:59Can that be enough for right now?
28:03Okay.
28:05Well, I do think that Holden may have left out a few details.
28:08Like what?
28:11Yes, to the wallet.
28:13Yes, to cashing the check.
28:15Yes, to Holden taking a cut.
28:17And yes, I've always suspected that something else went down between Audra and Holden.
28:24Something a lot worse.
28:26And I wish I could help you with what that was.
28:29What's stopping you?
28:36We're back.
28:38Hi.
28:40Hello.
28:40What's up?
28:41What's going on?
28:46Listen to you.
28:48Amazed that anyone would dare to hate Claire.
28:51The woman tried to murder her entire family.
28:53And since then, it's been, oh, Claire, you're so sweet and brave and wonderful.
28:59Oh, here's a family, a mansion, a wardrobe, a job, the son of a gazillionaire, even another
29:05woman's child to love.
29:07And you, you are just a cherry on top of that spoiled brat cake.
29:10Look, you've lived in London and L.A.
29:13You've seen thousands of rich, beautiful, spoiled women, and you never cared about any of them.
29:17Okay, well, they didn't rub their luck in my face.
29:20Well, of course they did.
29:21But maybe you didn't notice, but that's all anyone did in L.A.
29:24Okay, well, this is here.
29:26Ah, I got it.
29:29You wanted to be a big fish in a small pond.
29:32See, back then you had Tucker McCall's money and power, but then that...
29:36But I put him loose, not the other way around.
29:40Living here didn't turn out the way you planned, huh?
29:42Well, there are plenty of opportunities if you're willing to fight for them.
29:46Then why waste all of your energy on Claire?
29:49For someone who pretends to be so confident, you sound jealous.
29:53Okay, I am tougher than she is.
29:56Smarter, better at everything.
29:59Okay, but who's looking out for me?
30:00Who's on my side?
30:01What do you think I'm doing?
30:02I don't know.
30:03Listen, you said you're not going to leave town.
30:05Claire certainly isn't.
30:07So find a way to get along with her, or at least not lose your mind when she walks in
30:11the room.
30:12Meaning you want me to take it easy on her.
30:14Claire, too bad.
30:17I said I was going to take her down, and I meant it.
30:20And there's nothing you or anyone can do to stop me.
30:24Don't bet on that.
30:31Do you really think you and I are going to have fun at a corporate event that neither
30:35of us care about?
30:36I do, yeah.
30:37I believe in us.
30:39Why?
30:39Because we used to laugh at each other's jokes and make fun of some guy's bad hair?
30:44You do love a good comb-over.
30:47That hasn't happened in a very long time.
30:49Like a million lies ago.
30:51Lily, what are you going to do?
30:53Are you going to go there alone, force yourself to smile at people that you don't want to
30:59see while you nurse your little drink, waiting for the first person to leave so you can slip
31:04out the back door without saying goodbye to anyone?
31:06Yeah, that's exactly what I'm going to do.
31:08Well, but why do you even want to go?
31:09Because it's corporate politics.
31:12If I don't go, people will wonder why I'm not there.
31:14Lily, have you completely forgotten the concept of fun?
31:17Oh my God.
31:18Yeah, Kane.
31:19I'm completely devoid of all humor and enjoyment in life.
31:23It's not a big deal for me to just suck it up one night.
31:25See, this is what worries me about you, Lily.
31:27Lily, is you used to laugh a lot.
31:32You have the most beautiful laugh.
31:34Your eyes widen, your nose crinkles the harder you laugh.
31:37Yeah, well, when I was young and naive, how dare I grow up?
31:43Well, it happens to the best of us.
31:44Oh, well, not to you.
31:45Can we just turn back the clock for one night?
31:51Remember what it was like when we used to get along?
31:54Okay, we're not young and in love with the whole world ahead of us, but we're still us.
32:00Aren't we?
32:02Are we, Aristotle?
32:05Come on, give us a shot, Lily.
32:07Claire just stopped by to check in.
32:12Wasn't that sweet of her?
32:14And we can finish what we were talking about at a later date, if that works for you.
32:18Yeah, I'd love that.
32:19Okay, but I'm not sure how much longer I'll be here.
32:22Oh, I didn't realize.
32:23Are you going back to L.A.?
32:25It's one option.
32:27Okay, well, I'm sorry that you're not staying longer.
32:29I hope we can find that time to talk.
32:31It's okay.
32:32She's not leaving anytime soon.
32:34The situation needs some time to settle.
32:37Got it.
32:38Well, that's one thing about this family.
32:40They can be very protective.
32:41Always.
32:44Well, um, I should get going.
32:47Well, there's that winter dance tonight at Walnut Grove,
32:50and Katie has been sending me all these outfit ideas and hairstyles,
32:53and she thinks I'm her personal stylist, so...
32:55You know, actually, I also have a party that I need to look decent for, so...
32:59I'm sure you'll manage.
33:03We'll talk soon.
33:04All right.
33:06See ya.
33:07Bye.
33:07Bye.
33:14Are you sure everything's okay?
33:16Yeah.
33:19Always make things harder on yourself than they have to be.
33:22You know, I can't tell if you actually think that you'll succeed at something,
33:26or you realize you're going to fail, but you're going to go down a swing.
33:29Hey, you're the last person who's allowed to try to psychoanalyze me,
33:34since you always choose the easy way out.
33:37Have you ever tried to accomplish anything, Holden?
33:40It's not a good idea to come at me, Audra.
33:42No, I mean it.
33:43You went from attending bar to doing whatever Damien asked of you.
33:47You even pretended to be him.
33:50And then, after your best friend was murdered, you went back to work for the guy who got him killed.
33:56No, this is exactly what I'm talking about.
33:59You don't know when to back the hell off.
34:01And what?
34:01You're going to threaten me again?
34:04Expose my misdeeds?
34:05Mm-hmm.
34:06Well, don't sell yourself short.
34:07What you did is far worse than some misdeeds.
34:12And you were right there with me.
34:15So you crush me, you go splat too.
34:18Empty threads are your thing.
34:20Empty everything.
34:22Well, things changed since we last talked.
34:25I think I may have solved my Audra problem.
34:29If you go down, you won't be taking me with you.
34:37You want to be my plus one?
34:40Sure, fine, whatever.
34:42Okay, you know what?
34:42If you're going to say it like that, never mind.
34:45Are you being serious right now?
34:46You know what?
34:47I have feelings too.
34:48Okay, you're ridiculous.
34:49No, I'm amusing.
34:51Yeah, in a laughing at you kind of way.
34:53Okay, well, as long as you're laughing, I don't really care.
34:56That's pitiful.
34:57Well, I am a man without pride.
34:59No, no.
35:00You just want me to beg you to come with me.
35:02Yeah, kind of.
35:05You know what?
35:06I can take back the offer.
35:07Want me to take it back?
35:08No, no, no.
35:08Because I can take it back.
35:08No, no, no.
35:09You don't have to do that.
35:09You sure?
35:10Yes, I'm sure.
35:10You know, you don't have to do that.
35:11There's no point in you saying it aloud, but we both already know, which is that you are
35:14actually looking forward to tonight now.
35:17Yeah, just to see how far you're willing to go to live up to your own hype.
35:20So if it's possible to make it fun, you better make it happen.
35:23Oh, I'm going to make it happen.
35:24I'm going all the way.
35:25I'm going to fun you up.
35:27Yeah.
35:29There is another condition.
35:31Okay, name it.
35:32The dress code is retro 50s.
35:34That's where I draw the line.
35:35Well, I'm a 40s man.
35:37You know, bigger shoulders, wider ties.
35:41Retro 50s or stay home?
35:43Okay, fine.
35:43Retro 50s it is.
35:45It's a date.
35:46No, no.
35:48It's not a date.
35:49It's two people arriving at a location at the same time.
35:51Okay, definitely not a date.
35:53Who would want to date me?
35:55I'm the worst.
35:55People are going to lose their minds wondering why we're there together.
36:02They might actually think that you tolerate me.
36:04Or that you hypnotize me.
36:06Yeah, or that we've joined forces with some secret plan.
36:10They're going to whisper as they walk by wondering what kind of power move we're about to pull off.
36:15Well, if we're not careful, all eyes will be on us.
36:18All eyes are going to be on you anyway.
36:20Well, tonight might be fun, after all.
36:30If something happened with Claire...
36:33No, of course not.
36:35But something isn't right.
36:37Everyone is on edge, bud.
36:39Matt's made sure of that.
36:41What did you and Claire talk about?
36:43Los Angeles, the shadow room.
36:46You know, nothing huge.
36:47Claire's a really nice girl.
36:48Claire has worked hard to find her place in the family.
36:53Very thoughtful and kind.
36:55Yeah, just the way everybody has made me feel since I got here.
36:59Why did you say you weren't sure how long you'd be here?
37:02No, because it's the truth.
37:04You'll be here as long as it takes to make sure Matt isn't a danger to you.
37:08It's not realistic, Noah.
37:10You know, and the more I think about it, the more sense it makes for me to leave Genoa City as soon as possible.
37:15You can't erase history, Holden.
37:21And showing Claire a good time in L.A. doesn't give you Newman protection.
37:28Since when did I ever need protection?
37:30That was you, Audra.
37:33Claire has really made you think you're uncouchable.
37:35Don't be stupid, Holden.
37:38She's going to give word of you eventually, if she hasn't already.
37:43Just like I did.
37:45But Claire is going to want someone with actual power.
37:49All you'll ever be is power adjacent.
37:52Sucking up to everyone to get by.
37:53This is really how you see things, isn't it?
37:58You underestimating me and then drastically overestimating yourself.
38:03I didn't get this far in life by being weak and helpless.
38:08Or pretending to be cuddly like Claire Bear.
38:11She has a killer instinct and I am not going to let her come after me again.
38:16You don't want to mess with Claire.
38:19Because you really don't want to mess with me.
